Can’t wait to hear everyone this week. I don’t know about you but I enjoyed the game to the very end.
Pretty simple to sum up. You can’t turn the ball over and have penalties that create opportunities for the other team, especially when you are playing the Patriots.
I thought we handled the line of scrimmage on offense but lost the line of scrimmage on defense. We didn’t put enough pressure on Superman to turn him back into Clark Kent, so he sat back there and had a bit of a field day passing to receivers that got extra time to get open.
Again, strides of a young team for the most part. Loved the heads up play by Tebow when he fumbled in the end zone and picked it up and threw an incomplete pass….very Headsy…not that that’s a word but you know what I mean……beyond his years. Most QBs would have stepped out and taken the safety and protected themselves. He took a heck of a hit throwing incomplete. Little things like that show the maturity at that position beyond his young years.
We didn’t keep Brady off the field, we didn’t execute the way we all knew they would have to, to win this game.
So do you believe in the Sports Illustrated cover jinx?
Me neither.
GO BRONCOS!!!

Somewhere in my readings the last couple of weeks I saw a statement by a commentator that said something to the effect of: Tim Tebow is the strongest man to ever have played the position of NFL quarterback.
Can anybody help me relocate that statement?
Great write Mr. Cooper! And I concur!!!
DB, Jon Gruden is credited with that (I think).
It probably comes from Tebow benching something like 390 and leg-pressing 900 18 times when he was in college to set a school record. He has also pressed 225 something like 30-something times before.
Hi guys…
I’m loving this Bronco Team more and more every week!
This makes how many weeks in a Row without a completion to the TE? This HAS to change…
***JULIUS THOMAS WHERE ARE YOU***
Tebow needs a TE!!!
BTW – Mr. Cooper, Penalties are mentioned in the title but not in the body. Can anybody ‘splain why the referees seem to see the Home Team infractions but miss the opponent infractions that seem more glaring. I’m wondering if the Broncos beautiful uniforms are a detriment in the penalty category. (NEg. – LOL – means I don’t think it’s very funny.)
Coulda and shoulda been able to keep tom terrific off the field coop. About 11 mins of TOP in first quarter, 167 rushing yards and a 2 possesion lead. We just unravelled and turn the ball over to a great offense multiple times in our territory, back to back to back. I guess we can credit the D that they only came out of that with 2 fgs and a td as opposed to 3 tds which woulda looked even worse. We are a good team, but if we play outside of our identifity, a ground and pount offense with few to no turnovers, we will lose. They will bounce back.
GO BRONCOS
Yes I remember thinking after that play Tebow salvaged in the endzone, definite safety if our previous qb were in that situation. Hoping for a good showing in Buffalo and a Broncos win.official score contest pick Broncos, 23-17
It’s only Tuesday and I’m craving my next football fix already.
We need to get the NFL to start playing as many games as the NBA and MLB!!!
Think we’ll prolly need more backups? LOL
Just goes to show why it is the greatest sport on the planet!!!
TT endzone play was Elwayesqe. I think John saw that and thought “this” is our guy. Again, any other QB would have given up on that play and got a TD scored or taken a safety. Love watching this competitor!
Glad to see Coop agrees.
We played a great team, and I think we proved we can not only beat that team but absolutely dominate. Not when we cough it up 3 times in our own redzone, and get no turnovers for ourselves.
Someone posted a very telling stat a few blogs back. the patriots are something like 100-4 when they win the turnover battle. I am sure they 100 percent when they win the turnover battle 3-0 and get all those turnovers in the red zone.
in the brady era, that is.
Sorry guys, but you have this all wrong. If our previous qb would of been in that situation, it would have been a td for teh Pats. Simple as that.
Great article Coop, as usual, you have it nailed as to our performance during the game. Now it is time to buckle down and get with it these last 2 games and close this season out on a strong post season run!
No doubt that these Refs keep seeing penalties when we are at home… been that way for the last few years.. And that ref Johnny whats his face could see a bronco holding from the end zone some 40 to 50 yards away, but not an obvious hold a few yards away when tom terrific was on the field wouldn’t want to hurt him that would be Bad for the game right? there was a reason no one but Elvis could hit him because the Pats were holding on almost every play…..THEY WERE MUGGING US, FULL ON TAKE-DOWNS AND NO LAUNDRY… ad to that the ridiculous turn overs and seemingly a lack of a game plan after the 1st quarter….OMG!!! Did the coaches go on break and not come back…the mind wobbles…
