Final: Denver Broncos 35 - Minnesota Vikings 32

The Broncos have taken the AFC West division lead. The Raiders lost to a hot Miami Dolphins squad and the Broncos continued their winning streak in Minnesota against the Vikings. At 1-4, if someone told me that the Broncos would be leading the division after week 13, I'd have looked at them like they had 3 eyes. If the season ended today, the Broncos would host a playoff game. How sweet is that?
Let's recap things, shall we? This game wasn't looking pretty, as the game started.
The Broncos first offensive possession resulted in a safety. Tim Tebow handed off 5 yards deep in the endzone to Willis McGahee, who never had a chance with Jared Allen coming unblocked off the left side of the offense. The Vikings took the ball right back down the field before Brian Dawkins forced a fumble that was recovered by Jason Hunter. This resulted in no points because the Broncos offense came out of the gates stumbling. The Broncos had 43 offensive yards and 1 first down in the 1st half and appeared to be against the ropes. The Denver defense kept them in the game with a Mario Haggan interception returned for touchdown in the first half, however, the Broncos were down 15-7 at halftime.
Being down at halftime is a situation that the Broncos are very familiar with, as of late, but it hasn't stopped them from playing well in the second half.
As the second half began, it became apparent that the Broncos were not going to go out with a fight. They drove down the field with a 21 yard pass from Tim Tebow to Demaryius Thomas. The Vikings answered with a balanced attack that kept the Broncos defense on their heels. It ended with a touchdown pass from Christian Ponder to Percy Harvin. Chris Harris was in coverage on the play and was shoved to the turf as Percy Harvin was making his break.
After a huge return by Quan Cosby, the Broncos took over in Viking territory. The first play, Tebow rolled to his left, evaded a bunch of defenders and bought just enough time to find Demaryius Thomas, who ran downfield and broke a few tackles to put up his second touchdown of the day.
After trading punts, the Vikings took over and the Percy Harvin show continued. He caught a short crossing route as Champ played off-man coverage. Champ Bailey was picked off on a wide receiver block downfield and Kyle McCarthy couldn't drag Percy Harvin down in open field. The Vikings went up by 8, again, 29-21.
The Broncos answered right back with a deep ball to Demaryius Thomas up the left seam, followed by a Willis McGahee 24 yard rumble for a touchdown. The Broncos went for two and Tim Tebow ran off right tackle for the 29-29 tie.
The Vikings then converted two critical third downs and were awarded a first down thanks to a hands to the face call against Broderick Bunkley. After an incompletion to the back shoulder of Devin Aromashodu and a sack, Christian Ponder threw a third down pass to nowhere and the Vikings settled for a field goal with 3:06 to play.
Tebow Time. He throws across the middle to Matthew Willis for a first down and then throws a bomb down the right sideline to his favorite target, Demaryius Thomas, for 40 yards. Willis McGahee runs right for 4 to the Minnesota 24 yard line and the clock goes down to the 2 minute warning. With another McGahee run (this time for a loss of 4), the Broncos faced a 3rd and 10 from the Vikings' 28 yard line. He threw deep to the left to give Demaryius Thomas a chance and he just couldn't come up with it. Matt Prater kicked a 46 yard field goal to tie the game at 32 with 1:33 on the clock.
Starting at the 20 yard line, Christian Ponder threw an ill advised pass to the left that was picked off by Andre Goodman and returned to the Vikings' 15 yard line. The Broncos ran the clock down and kicked the game winning field goal with no time on the clock, giving the Broncos a 35-32 victory.
The winning streak continues. The division lead is ours. Life is good. Next week, the Broncos return to Denver to take on the Bears without Matt Forte and Jay Cutler.
Go Broncos!

but Tebow, Decker, D Thom, Beadles and Walton just might be starters on this team for some time to come.

I just went over to the NFL Red Zone
Gotta watch it
I was in a bar in VT and the same thing happened
I saw Prater’s FG to tie it, and then lost the game until I bullied a perplexed bartender into finding the game on satellite. By that time the Broncos had the ball back and were inside the 5 yard line with time running down. Had I been watching any other team, I would have bee surprised. As it was, I chalked it up to the Lord working in mysterious ways….
I must say I’m starting to get used to this end of game feeling. I said at halftime to my NY Giants fan friend watching his first Bronco game that there was no doubt in my mind that they’d win, cause they were within one score. It’s a crazy, shaking-my-head kind of appreciation for a team that simply, mystifyingly… knows how to win. Timmy really picked the defense up today, and Goody and Mario Haggan made the plays when they had to…. crazy stuff. And you know the craziest thing?? I think we’re going to the playoffs!!!!

Great win!
Played very physical all the way to the end. We got some bang-ups, but I’m betting a lot of Vikes will be hurting tomorrow. Another nice benefit of this winning is that a lot of us remotely-located folks (who can’t get or don’t have Sunday Ticket) are getting to see these games live! Sweet!
When I said I thought this would be a close game
I thought it would be because of the defenses. A win is a win and it is really nice to finally see our offense clicking.
Oh yeah and this game should put any debate on who should be defensive MVP. We lose Miller and all of a sudden our defense falls apart. The broncos are still rebuilding, we’ve got a lot of pieces but depth is still an issue.
And now for something completely different
exactly why we shouldn’t be spending any high picks on a QB!

but Tebow can't do... I'm running out of things to say lol
I still think we’ll draft a QB in the mid rounds and Tebow will be back next year but I’m now starting to question if we will even draft a QB at all.
And now for something completely different
Depends on Quinn
If Brady Quinn leaves we kinda need to. But definitely not a high draft pick.
Yeah Quinn's in an interesting situation
I doubt he signs anywhere as a geniune competitor for the #1 spot, so as far as his chances of falling into a starting role go, staying in Denver would be pretty logical considering the supposed risk of injury everyone keeps talking about with Timmy.
If the FO do end up buying in with Tebow, it’d be interesting to see if they went for another guy low in the draft that could run the option too.
Trust in Adam Weber
Guy is underrated, can be a good backup, but I agree, we may select another QB this year, likely rounds 3 through 5

"It happens sometimes. People just explode. Natural causes." - Agent Rogersz from Repoman
agreed
Adam Weber has the makings of a fine backup if you ask me. But still we need some insurance… 4th to 5th round sounds about right. Today tought me something about our team. I have been wanting to go offense first in the next draft, but watching our defense without Von Miller just confirmed it me that we need another defensive stud puppy. I would love to see us nab Manti Te’o, Luke Kuechly, or Vontaze Burfict to round out our Mike’s. I would say DT, but there aren’t many worth your buck where we’ll end up picking. Wait till the 3rd for that need.

only a blind and retarded merril hoge couldn't see the fact that Tebow has been developing
still has a way to go but definitely on the right track and moving fast.
I haven’t been on a game thread in ages. I check them at half time though and you’d be surprised how many posters there are berating this team who I’ve never seen before. Come out of the woodwork when this team isn’t doing well and then disappear just as quick as they came.

Not a beauty, but today a win is a win
Our D was exposed in the 2nd half, our pass rush was stopped cold by the Vikes after half-time and our DBs struggled in coverage. But we made more big plays than they did – that’s what matters. In the offseason, we will need upgrades. But now I’m looking forward to the next game. Bears. Won’t be easy. But hope is there.
Tebow
Tebow stinks. I mean, he’s only won 5 in a row (first time since Elway played in Denver). The guy is a winner, period. I’m a Falcons fan and would take Tebow as our QB in a second.

2nd quarter I believe
but Orton is a tough son of a gun. A similar thing happened in the 2009 preseason and he ended up starting with a glove on his throwing hand for about a month. We went 6-0 in that stretch…here’s hoping he doesn’t repeat that for the Chiefs.

Why didn't we pass more?

Tebow passer rating 149.3
Granted he only threw 15-times, but that’s still very impressive. He certainly takes care of the ball. Didn’t break 200-yards, but he didn’t have to. I guess there are really only two things he still has to prove:
1) Coming from behind by more than two TDs (something even pass-happy teams find difficult)
2) Winning a playoff game.
Hopefully, he does not need to do #1, and I think he will get his chance to prove he is capable of achieving #2.

He done's #1 twice I think
Houston last year and Miami this year
And now for something completely different
I guess so . . .
All he needs to do now is win a playoff game(s)! Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, but the Broncs are sitting in a pretty good position now.

He lost 16-yards to sacks; so the NET yards passing was 186.
Maybe we both are right? LOL

WTH?
Gaff and Lloyd both worked with TT in the off season. It would be nice if we still had one of them.
Billick addressed this
saying McCoy has said they’re basically adjusting to what they’re being given. The second half opening drive wasn’t about opening the offense up, it was about committing to something they thought they could have success with (and were correct).

we were in 3rd and short a couple times though
the one time we had a 3rd and manageable long, Tebow hit Thomas but Bey Bey couldn’t get his toe in bounds.
The Broncos fumbled twice, had crucial penalties, and overall looked bad in the 1st half. Some can be put on play calling but for the most part but it was mainly poor execution by the players. We turned that around in the 2nd thank god.
And now for something completely different
I just want to see them win one with the lead all the way.
Well, once or twice anyway. I don’t want it to get boring all of the time.

this team still has a ton of improvements it needs to make and plenty of room to grow
which is scary if you think about that for a second
And now for something completely different
to be fair, the out to bey-bey was as much TT as DT
it wasnt a bad throw, but DT did have to extend a did drag the foot… if TT throws it 6inches inside more, its a complete pass.
TT was taking care of the ball and putting it where only his guy could get it… but Brady/Manning hit that pass 8 out of 10 times… TT… not so much (though he doesnt have to be to the brady/manning level).
Keep in mind
2nd youngest o-line
Almost a rookie at QB
with Royal out… all or WRs are 2nd year or less
Our most consistent player on O is McGahee. It is not flashy, but putting the ball in his hands a lot is smart football.
The Defense is shifty, Tim still has some issues in reading and passing (as all QBs do), receivers still dropping passes… and we hardly touched the ball. That first possession was disgusting and then most of the 1st Q was gone. Then our D makes em pay and the offense is still on the bench…
There are a lot of factors

Just got home from the sports bar. Funny story (at least to my already tipsy ass)...
Remember the Clady hands tot he face call? I got upset and yelled “CLADY!?!” at the television directly above the drink station. Waitress was filling a drink and got all pissed because she thought I yelled “LADY!?!” because she hadn’t gotten our refills yet. Took some quick explaining although I am still not sure she believes I was yelling at a player named Clady.

Me too. Goodman was making me mad with the soft coverage
That is going to be more dangerous as the year goes on. We should remember our last AFC Championship game… eventually an O will be able to string those easy plays together down the field, especially late in the season when the team has been playing together for a while. You have to disrupt that timing a bit.
I have faith that Allen will get the most here. I love aggression on D
Yeah, that was not good, but they made the plays when they HAD to
And to a very young quarterback as well. OTOH, we were without Von Miller today. Might not have been such a close game with him on the field.

Good team win.
A lot of people don’t want to hear this, but this was another great team win. After a dismal first half, the Broncos pulled together as a team and each unit stepped up. Yes, Tebow had a good day, but as Willis said last week, it had to come together on both sides of the ball. I didn’t see Tebow making any interceptions.
Let’s celebrate the fact that the Broncos play well as a team and rally around each other when the going gets tough. That’s how you win games.
That’s how you get yourself to the post season. I see more maturity every week out of this squad. Gonna be an interesting run through December.

Who here do you think doesn’t like or acknowledge that this was a great team win. This type of post is actually an insult to most people here’s intelligence for 2 reasons.
1) we all know that you have an extreme anti-Tebow bias so your veiled attempts at putting him down are a joke.
2) we’re all football fans who understand that football is the ultimate team game.
This game did however change the paradigm for the anti-Tebow crowd who have been saying that he can’t pass well enough to win a shootout . Agreed?

It was not intentional grounding
It was just a bad pass to where he thought a receiver would be, but wasn’t. And intentional grounding requires sack threat – it was just not there. He didn’t throw it away, he attempted a TD pass.
the rule is sketchy
Last week Caleb Hanie spiked the ball to stop the clock, but was called for intentional grounding because he pump faked before he actually did it. I didn’t see it, but I would have to think there was no sack pressure there either
Drinkin the kool-aid, smokin the Orange Kush
Just rewatched. It was borderline
The snap was at MIN 47, contact was at about DEN 47-48, so it was 5-6 yards downfield, pretty close call. Not something that is glaring
Call on Clady was BS too
If you were going to call it, Allen was twisting Clady’s helmet off as much as the other way. That cost us a drive.
There were plenty of calls that should've been let go
ie: hands to the face on Clady, a couple others really hindered us but I’m having trouble recollecting them.

".....Im the waiting beast....Im the twisted nerve..."
* was atrocious
".....Im the waiting beast....Im the twisted nerve..."
I agree. Some horrible calls
I’m not one to rag on the refs, but this was the worst officiating we’ve had this year. Couldn’t believe they missed the blatant “steamroller” PI on Harvin that allowed him to be open for the TD. Saw numerous holds inside on the Vikes offense (particularly the Ponder scramble for a 1st down, where McBean was getting his jersey removed) that weren’t called. There was one where you could actually see Hagan’s shoulder-pads from the back, because his jersey had been yanked up so high. How is that not holding? And the ridiculous “hands to the face” call on Clady (costing us a first down), when Jared Allen was almost pushing Clady’s head into his back, was unbelievable. Clady barely made contact with JA’s helmet, and yet he got the penalty. And then the fumble by Tebow just before the half, that the former head of officiating said was not a fumble, cost us 3 points.
Was just glad to see that we were able to overcome all of that. Great win despite a very uneven officiating effort.
In regards to the fumble,
I always thought the ground could not cause a fumble. What is the official rule in the book say? I have seen several plays in which the ball carrier lost the ball after hitting the ground. Anyone have some clarification on that? The tackler definitely did NOT cause the fumble.
That’s kind of a misnomer. The ground can definitely cause a fumble, but 99% of the time, the runner is down by contact before the ball hit the ground and came out. In Tebow’s case today, he wasn’t yet down by contact when the ball came out. So it was a live ball. A knee or elbow needs to be down, with contact from a defender, before the runner is considered down by contact.
Whiskey tends to make me high, and sad songs make me cry. Pretty women break my heart almost every night. I run on beans and nicotine; I'm a real, live buckaroo. And my heart's not pure, my boots ain't clean, and I never tell the truth.
Well said
I couldn’t believe he allowed himself to fall that way. He’s fallen enough times that you’d think he could tuck the ball before hitting the turf.
I am not interested in your exaggeration of reality. I am interested in reality itself.

Tebow should be able to throw more in the 1st half...
was reading a MHR writter talking about why there isnt more throwing plays called and that was because Tebow couldn’t do it…..RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT……….
Man I have had enough of listening to people tell us why tebow cant do this or that…..just please watch the game and watch our players (and I mean all of them) get better with each game.
If nothing else, this game showed what this team is made of…the D gets manhandled by the vikes passing and they hold out and make the play to give us the win…
The MSM and some on here talk about all the other team has to do is score 24 points and we are toast cause Tebow can’t throw…..RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGht……
I am not saying tebow is the best passer out there but he can throw….he did throw and he put up the points when we needed them….
So I would just love it if the so called know it alls would just zip the chops so they don’t look more foolish than they do already….
Sure Tebow is not a sharp passer but he did his best passing this year today….and we WON AGAIN… It was yet again a TEAM effort and when one part was struggling the other picked it up….Great team win….
We need to give Tebow a chance to succeed with this team and open the book up some more. He is getting in tune with DT now. So with DT, Decker, Tebow is looking more and more like a passing qb. Give him time with his Wr’s and all will be well.
This team has heart and leadership but it is young and we still need more players from the draft….
so it would be good to talk about what our team is doing right and hopefully the wanna be know it alls will go down the road of rocko and hoop……Great game Bronco’s…..
And a good game to Haggen…you did yourself proud today…you were not a Von but you played a hell of a game….hooorah..

If I'm EFX
I might consider throwing away the entire BPA idea and drafting the best CB available to us wherever we draft. Goodman made the game winning play for the 2nd time this season but at least half of Ponder’s ridculous amount of yards came throwing to Goodman.
I doubt we’ll get Claiborne, but hopefully we can get Kirkpatrick or Dennard

Dennard is more consistent but Kirkpatrick has a higher ceiling
all signs are indicating TB will draft Dennard and TB always lets the world know who they want. Did 2 years ago with McCoy and did last year with Clayborn and right now TB is behind us in the standings.

And now for something completely different
Kirkpatrick has some potential
but he has kinks to work out. He may have more potential with Kirkpatrick but you’ll get a much better day one player in Claiborne

Reaching in the draft
is what got Shanny in trouble….the Raiders in a decade of trouble….its just not good business period. I would much rather that they either trade down and get some value for that pick. Rather than to take a lesser player than the best available in our draft slot period!!
".....Im the waiting beast....Im the twisted nerve..."
The percentages are still
much better than “reaching”, It all comes down to talent evaluation. See Raiders drafts for the last decade….2 seasons ago they cut 4 of their draft picks before the end of TC. Its a bigger crap shoot when you stray from your preset draft board and “reach” for positions of need.
Perfect example: Dareus, or Fairley (position of need) vs Miller (best player on the board). Ill take Miller all week long and twice on Sunday :)

Tebow unchained
He was a straight terror in the 2nd half. We let this guy loose and there’s not a D in the league that’s gonna want anything to do with us…
"You cocky cock! You'll pay for your crimes against humanity!"
"He's like a man with a fork in a world of soup."
Is there another QB in the league that makes that play?
I don’t think there is. Great beastly run by DT to finish.

I don't think he is horrible...
But he has dropped off for sure.
I'd say yes
He’s still solid, but no longer the rock of the line. Leading the league in holding calls (according to the broadcast anyway – I’m taking their word for it) not a good place to be

He's not horrible, but he's not as good either
As a fan, I’d rather have old Clady, one of top-3 LTs in the league, whatever it cost.
I thought he played good.
When you got two good players like that going toe to toe one is going to get the best of the other one at times. It’s bound to happen. Allen made some plays but Clady owned him in the second half in the running game

I wouldn't say horrible
he held Jared Allen to one sack and we were able to run at Allen a lot today. Yeah Jared Allen got the best of him on some plays but when you have two all pros going at each other, very rarely do you see one dominate the other.
And now for something completely different
You guys all know it looks like Kyle Orton may have broken his throwing finger today on his first series at KC?
hard hit on helmet of pass rusher with this throwing hand.
Looked bad and was taken out of the game and I thought I saw broken skin on the finger.

they held him out because Bruton and McCarthy are better in ST
I doubt that’ll be the case next week though
And now for something completely different
And we won ST phase of the game again
Looking real good this year. They had no breakout returns. In fact, they had some very poor kick returns that we covered very well. And we had 2 excellent returns, one of which was converted to TD in one play.
Especially
considering that Percy Harvin is back there returning

Can’t wait to hear how this one didn’t count either.

Let me help you out
The vikes are already out of it and are not playing for anything. AP did not play. Ponder is a rookie. Harvin was actually rooting for Tebow. The Viking D fell asleep at halftime after not playing in the first half. Some phantom or bogus call by the refs.
Take your pick.
I was really impressed
with #88 DT stepped up bigtime today and shown the flashes we have seen but not heard of lately. I hope it is just a sample of what he is going to do going forward.
Great job Haggen. I wish you played MLB

Has anyone else noticed that there have been less and less intentional QB runs…and less read option plays? It seems like as each week goes by, Tebow’s carries decrease…not complaining, just wondering if anyone else had the same thoughts.

Listen to the interview on denverbroncos.com with McCoy this week, and you can hear in his comments that having the threat of the zone-read is what makes this offense hard to scheme for. You don’t have to run it but a few times, the threat is always there—and it changes the play-calling of the defense. Which is exactly what you want.
Today’s game added an additional wrinkle, the threat of play-action and medium-range pass plays that we haven’t seen. So now you are layering that on top of a zone-read threat. Makes it even more challenging to scheme for . I love how they are letting pieces of this offense evolve each week, giving next week’s opponent one more thing to think about. That’s what you want to do to any defense. Make them think, not react.

Everything is good in moderation. If he has the tools to do things besides the read option (which he does), then you do those things, as well, to complement the read option.

22 Runs last week
It’s a good sign that when the defense takes away one part of the Broncos’ game, they find another way to succeed.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood..."
Both the offense and Tebow are developing
plain and simple. The more Tebow proves he can do, the more they will let him. Right now he is proving he can do more than just run.
And now for something completely different
I think we like to show predictable early
Then give them a few wrinkles later. We seem to thrive on that
Man, that was exciting stuff.
2nd half = first time I’ve actually felt some level of confidence in Tebow being abe to move the offense. I hope this is the start of a beautiful trend.
That was a great pass. Pretty sure it was to Willis.

It was to Willis
And it was a completely ridiculous call. Jared Allen was practically removing Clady’s head and the call was on Clady. Made me scream at the TV when I see the replay. Clady even pleaded his case to the official, to no avail of course.
No kidding
That looked completely ridiculous from what we could see on TV – and we were starting to move again.
Great win today, and a pretty entertaining game.
I gotta say that it’s so great to have tremendous special teams for the first time in over a decade. They were really, really terrible for a long time. And now we get returns that net more than a few yards, and we aren’t giving up TD returns.
Whiskey tends to make me high, and sad songs make me cry. Pretty women break my heart almost every night. I run on beans and nicotine; I'm a real, live buckaroo. And my heart's not pure, my boots ain't clean, and I never tell the truth.

fumble
Can anyone explain Tebow’s fumble to me?
Isn’t the knee completely irrelevant? He had possession of the ball all the way until the ball hit the ground. Once the ball hits the ground, the carrier is down. The ground can’t cause the fumble. Tebow didn’t trip on his own, it was from contact. What am I missing?
Ground can cause a fumble if your not down yet
since the ball hit the ground first and came out before Tebow’s knee it’s a fumble. It’s one of those weird calls
And now for something completely different
Yeah, AFAIK this would only happen if you're holding the ball in your hand alone, not cradled.
bcs then the player would be considered “down” due to his elbow/forearm being down at the same time or before the ball. The player’s “hand” touching/hitting the ground, even if the ball is in it, does not cause the player to be considered “down”. Pretty rare to see this, usu another bodypart that meets the “downed” criteria hits first, such as knee, elbow, shin, forearm, shldr, head, etc., actually anything EXCEPT hand and foot.
The ball touching the ground doesn't make you down.
Same thing happened to Matt Ryan in Chicago. He put the ball on the ground to brace himself from stumbling, but he left the ball on the ground. Chicago D picked it up and ran it in for 6.
I saw the Orton high lights
They were awesome! (pun+intended)

My 8 year old son got up and yelled with me. Hasn’t been much to teach him with in the past couple of years…
You missed the last few games?
My boy has been yelling with me since the end of the Miami game!
Sadly
I’m out on the east coast, and can’t get Sunday ticket (too many trees). So I usually see the games on NFL rewind starting a little after midnight Monday morning – past his bedtime… I might have to hold off and find another time to watch it with him. Good stuff for you – enjoy!
Here's a stat
the Broncos D was on the field for 37 minutes, 51 seconds and 22 minutes in the 2nd half. I guess the one problem I have with this offense today was that it scored too quick lol.
And now for something completely different
The consistent offense: up the middle, up the middle, then penalty. .
McCoy owes Allen a drink,
Gaff and Lloyd both worked with TT in the off season. It would be nice if we still had one of them.
the Broncos lost at least five 1st downs today because of penalties, fumbles, or drops
We were even getting 1st downs running up the middle that were negated because of errors. You can put the errors on coaching (which includes McCoy) but not on play calling. Poor execution was the reason our offense was awful for the 1st half.
And now for something completely different
I agree it was penalties
Gaff and Lloyd both worked with TT in the off season. It would be nice if we still had one of them.
In fairness to Fox Tv, this was supposed to be a CBS game
The NFL changed it to FOX to give the game a national audience. How often do you see a 2-7 record vs. a 5-4 record get national coverage on a Sunday afternoon? Thank you Tebow Show. If we beat the Bears next week, imagine the ratings Sunday Night Football will get with Tebow vs Brady
And we in the hinterlands are grateful!
Was thrilled when I saw the broadcast area expand, because we were out of it to begin with.

All Tebow!
Tebow stinks. I mean, he’s only won 5 in a row (first time since Elway played in Denver). The guy is a winner, period. I’m a Falcons fan and would take Tebow as our QB in a second.
first time 5 in a row on the road. started 6-0 with Orton a few years ago

McD's influence.
Most seem to think McD did such a terrible job, while in Denver, but gotta give credit where it is due. A 2010 draft that has resulted in five starters on offense, Tebow, Demaryius, Beadles, Walton and Decker is in itself a great achievement by McD. He brought in Dawkins, Goodman, Colquit and Mays, and both Robert Ayers and Knowshown look a whole lot better, this season, especially Ayers, who’s been a solid DE. It’s a team game, as we read so often, and its a team that is heavily influenced by McD. For all the trash McD’s gotten, he did not ruin this team, he actually improved the roster a great deal over what Shanahan left, and he was the one guy who saw the winner in Tebow to take him.
...holy freaking f*ck, snakes!

Thing is...
…McD would not have been flexible enough to put in a system that let Tebow succeed. He just figured he was enough of a QB guru that he could turn him into Tom Brady. And Ayers only finally started making plays when we switched back to the 4-3 under Fox. McD had him playing out of position, and if that were still the case, he’d be an outright bust.
So yes, he gets some credit, but Fox is the guy who’s ego is sufficiently checked to actually adjust to the strengths of his players. Under McD, I’m fairly confident Tebow & Ayers would both be useless.

Dickens quote fits McD
It was the best if times, it was the worst of times.
Or maybe for McG I should use Shakespeare…it was the winter of our discontent.
Or to put it more simply...
…even a broken clock is right twice a day. Just because McD wasn’t wrong on absolutely everything doesn’t make him any less of a catastrophe as an HC. Or as an OC for that matter – ask St. Louis.
"You cocky cock! You'll pay for your crimes against humanity!"
"He's like a man with a fork in a world of soup."
Broken clock? You can’t give real credit, where it’s due? Are you one of those who have said in the past that McD totally ruined the Broncos? McD was immature to the point he was a lousy head coach, but he is an exceptional football mind. The talent on the Rams offense is less than stellar. The Patriots offense was excellent when he was there. I think he is a decent offensive coordinator. The guy assembled a Denver roster that is a large part of the base of this team, and he deserves unqualified credit for it.
...holy freaking f*ck, snakes!
Whatever man
The Pats offense is excellent for one reason and one reason only: Tom Brady. McD’s just the latest in a long line of hangers-on (Weis, Crennel, Peoli) to cash in off it & fail miserably in all endeavors since. McD deserves zero credit for our current success because under his regime, the same players couldn’t find their assholes with 2 hands and a flashlight come gameday.
That’s what coaching is – not just getting the right guys, but knowing how to use them. He hit on a few of the right guys, I’ll give you that, but when it comes to the second part, he was an EPIC FAIL. That’s just fact.
"You cocky cock! You'll pay for your crimes against humanity!"
"He's like a man with a fork in a world of soup."
Hey, McD gets blamed for coaching and bringing in all the players. He was lambasted, by many for terrible drafts, bringing in fringe free agents, etc, and not having any redeeming qualities, whatsoever. If you want to say he was a lousy head coach, I haven’t disagreed. But if you can’t give the guy full credit for helping the roster of this current team, yah, whatever, man.
...holy freaking f*ck, snakes!
I didn't say he had no redeeming qualities
Everyone’s got a few. He drafted Tebow and is probably nice to his mother. Doesn’t make him any less of a catastrophe as HC.

"As iron sharpens iron, so will one man sharpen another"
All of the players you mentioned
Underpeformed under McD. He also traded and/or squandered a lot of talent/picks. We have the 2nd youngest O-line and our receivers are all young. Most would not be starters on most NFL teams due to lack of experience. It remains to be seen if they can develop into consistent starters for years to come. Of those young guys, the only one that has really stood out recently has been Decker with Walton running second.
It could easily be argued (and it is by me) that Fox and Co. are actually getting many of their players to exceed their true talent by allowing them to contribute with effective game planning. This does not mean that these players are locks to keep their jobs, regardless of our record. There will be a real off season and a real FA period next year. Fox and Co have already drafted more talent than McD did (IMO)…
Yeah man...old saying.....Champion Team over a team of champions...many look at a team based on talent of individual players
…rather than at the over all camaraderie and make up of the team. You are making a large assumption and reach man.
The 97 and 98 Super Bowl teams, the patriots teams etc were not the most talented on an individual basis, but as a team, they wree bad ass!

Champ Bailey.
I agree with what you are saying
It was a direct response to the guy making the claim that McD left us with good talent. I believe we were more talented under Shanny overall, but sorely lacking on D. McD’s only real win on D was Dawk, who earned his stripes no where near McD. I do not totally disagree that McD did get us some talent, but how much remains to be seen and the potential wasted is mind boggling. I am making the point that Fox is helping make those players better than they are and they may not be starters next year when Fox has the opportunity to make normal roster changes.
Id have to desagree with one statement
When McD gutted the roster only 2 of the players cut even made it onto another NFL roster. Not saying he did much better but Shanny had been reaching for too long and the roster was laden with mediocre talent. Especially on the defensive side of the ball. Our offense was avg. at best and Cutler and Marshall made the most of our offense to “make names” for themselves at the expense of winning games. We did get good value for both of them, and that was squandered. But I would have to say overall I am glad both of them are gone. BM was detained and nearly arrested again last week, and its a matter of time before he is either in jail or gets suspended again, And Cutler….well I never liked that kid, and am just personally glad he is no longer here.
".....Im the waiting beast....Im the twisted nerve..."
Marshall is a head case, for sure
Cutler rubbed some people the wrong way, but I am not one of them. I think the kid was a kid with a bit of immaturity. He made mistakes and he is growing and maturing, just as you would expect a young man to do. We had other talent too (Hillis – although he seems to be a bit of a head case at the moment, Scheffler, etc.).
A significant amount of the D talent we have now was drafted or brought here by Shanny, and if it were not for an unfortunate New Years’ Eve, I think we would have a few more. That fateful night had a huge impact (and probably ruined Javon Walker’s career too).
true but he would have picked Julio Jones #2

No doubt!!!
Not only Rahim, but just any Safety not named Brian Dawkins. Quinton Carter has filled in okay I guess (he’s a pretty good tackler), but I want to see the rebirth of Darren Sharper in Moore. Dennis Allen loves him some pass intercepting DB’s….. I thought Rahim Moore would make an instant impact in that dept.
I think the kid can and will be a player, but we need to find out soon to see if we need to invest in another one or not. Kentucky has a couple dudes to watch for (Danny Trevathan & I forget the other) that could be had in the mid to later rounds.
I’m also getting a little peeved we haven’t seen anything from Nate Irving, Julius Thomas, Virgil Green and Jeremiah Johnson. I had such high hopes for all those guys at the beginning. I’d kill to see Julius Thomas turn into what was advertised in camp again.

Whidbey… You still not on the Tebow bandwagon. This is what normal, young QB improvement looks like when they gain valuable experience and learn/improve on that experience.
I hear you about Matt Ryan because he is a good QB, but we have our own good QB. If you wanted to trade our next few drafts to get a Matt Barkely, no bitching from you when we don’t have draft picks to replace guys like Goodman, Joe Mays, McBean and our TEs as they continue to underwhelm when faced with better players.
Tim Tebow is Denver's 2012 starting QB. I'm not even kind of sorry that offends some of you.
no, I'm not sold on Tebow but I don't want to spend multiple picks to move up and get a QB. Tebow gets another year before we'd be that needy
I’d get a QB in the 1st three rounds depending on availability. A top CB prospect will likely be a smarter pick with our first IMO.

Come on, I want to believe. I wouldn't have drafted him but I would have started him sooner and am hugely happy that we're adjusting to his strengths!!
I simply said that I’d draft a QB to come in and compete with him next year in case it turns out he doesn’t continue improving. (Even then I said “in the 1st three rounds”)
For the record I’ve NEVER said Tebow Couldn’t or Wouldn’t make it in the NFL. OK??!! Read that.
I simply think the odds of him continuing to improve ENOUGH are small. (bigger with every game though!!)

So it's pretty much Super Bowl or bust then?
" I'm blessed to be part of a team with very unselfish players who don't care about statistics, they just care about winning" - Tebow owning Michael Irvin when Irvin asked him "what do you say to your receivers after you throw a ball in the dirt and miss them".
sure but I won't be one of the folks saying he sucks when he fails sooner or later... everybody does.
I just want to see him keep playing well and improving his timing with his WRs… I want to see us give him time. I just don’t want all our eggs in the Tebow basket.

i know i am not the only one seeing this: but it is obvious how hard thomas tried to score that first touchdown. it seems like tebow’s will power is transferring onto his teammates as well. thomas took the pass and made it a 40 yard touchdown. but it didn’t seem like he would make it. he shouldve been taken down, but he fought off tacklers, and willed himself into the endozone. likewise, tim made a positive throw out of nothing. it looked like they would get him or he might run with the ball. just amazing effort.

If Tebow continues to infect these guys with WILL and HEART, he’s going to continue growing on me.

I actually want Hoge to stick around so I can watch him squirm every time the Tebow topic comes up.

I really hate that I missed what sounds like a great game. I definitely wasn’t sold on Tebow when he took over for Orton, but I’m so glad he proved me wrong. It’s evident every week that he’s developing as a passer, and it’s fantastic to see. One question, did our defense have as bad a day as the stats would suggest? Aside from the INTs, it looks like Ponder and Harvin lit us up. Looking forward to playing the Bears without Cutler and Forte. GO BRONCOS!!!

maybe it’s just my opinion, but i think they missed von miller.
"They’re a very special group of men. Cherish them, you will not see their like again."
Yes they did and Tebow stepped up passing to make up for it.

You missed that game? Sucks for you. Was a barn burner.
Tim Tebow is Denver's 2012 starting QB. I'm not even kind of sorry that offends some of you.
Lol yeah I know…never thought the game would’ve been that exciting. Then I get home to see highlights of a great game. I’ll take missing a win over watching a loss any day though.

GREAT GAME!
funny, though…there was a time not too long a go when any of the last 3 Viking scores would have made me feel like it was too steep of a hill to climb. Today, when we just had to have the team keep right on scoring, I knew we had a chance. Reminded me of the old Elway years in that regard.
Yes
Our defense was as bad as the stats suggest, and yes, we made Ponder look like Aaron Rodgers today….
They did come up with a pick-6, and the pick at the end to give us the game, so I’ll let them off the hook, but overall it was the worst our D has played in awhile.
I think it goes to show how important Von is to this team.
Go-Go Gadget Tebow!!!!
Ponder didn't look anywhere near as amazing as Harvin did

yeah. the guy did just what i always think players should do—shut up and play— and where does that get him. not cool.
"Well, it's not like we signed him off the street..." — J. Fox
Maybe that will lead to him being a Bronco next year
I could definitely live with that. McGahee and Forte to go with Tebow and a nasty o-line… sounds like a John Fox wet dream to me
Yeah, that would suck
Especially since he had dealt with this whole thing with total class.

A couple of Oakland fans I know
Say he might out for another two weeks and maybe won’t be back at all this season. Who knows though.
True....Oakland is much better the moment McF is playing at full strength.
They begin to dictate things from the offensive side of the ball at that point. However, having him back won’t stop them from having too many penalties and the occasional total bonehead pl.ay…I love those moments when watching them

How freaking awesome is it
That we are discussing who Tebow’s back-up should be.
I haven’t felt this confident in our guy taking the snaps since Elway lead our team to a 2nd Superbowl.

It's about damn time we saw a little of what we saw tonight.
And we’re even inching closer to actually seeing it in the first HALF of the game. See?
Progress is better than potential any day of the week.
Dear wild eyed maniacs:
For those of you who scream "hater" when people say Tebow needs to throw the ball better, this is WHY say that. It adds a much needed dimension to his game. Did you "hate" what you saw against the Vikings? No, I don't think you did.
Yours Truly, rational people.
Condescending much?
" I'm blessed to be part of a team with very unselfish players who don't care about statistics, they just care about winning" - Tebow owning Michael Irvin when Irvin asked him "what do you say to your receivers after you throw a ball in the dirt and miss them".
There is not a single fan I have seen on this board or in my life who didn't think
a QB in his first 10-16 starts wouldn’t need to improve his game in some way. The “hater” monikor is reserved for those who either A. acted like the flaws in his game meant he could not improve B. acted like the success Tebow had on the field last year or early this year didn’t “count” because it wasn’t done the way Aaron Rodgers did it or C.those people who chose pass judgement on the decision for a 1-4 team that appeared headed nowhwhere to try something different.
Of course we would love to see the passing game become a threat, but if you have been watching the games it has become obvious that the strategy has been to try stay close in the 1st half while McCoy figures out how this cobbled together offense is being defended this week. In the second half or even the late second quarter we have been making adjustments to change the rythmm of the game. I applaud the coaching staff for protecting Tebow from getting hit 25-30 times a game, and for not allowing a young QB to to throw the game away early(the way Ponder, Moore, Cassel, and Palmer did)

Tebow sucksssss!!
He sucks so much that we’re now division leader! hehehe!!!
love the sucknesssss….
Go Broncos!!!
In a world where only the strong survives... we just double our strength.
7-3 in his first 10 starts with a 86 QB rating. Pretty good for a FB who can’t throw.
People acting surprised because a young QB is getting better boggles me.
And there are some that will never be pleased. First it was Tebow can’t play QB in this league. Than it was you can’t win with Tebow as QB. Then it was the wins aren’t pretty enough. Now I’m hearing you can’t win a superbowl with him at QB. They will just keep changing what they say. I hope the day comes I hear, “Well, you can’t win 2 superbowls with him.”
Te... wait for it, wait for it.... BOW.
Right now its you cant make it to the playoffs
Then you cant go deep in the playoffs. Then you cant win a Superbowl. If the unlikely does happen, then it will be, you cant repeat. Sheeeeeeesh

Few things:
First, reading Clayton’s final call is ridiculous. I’m just sick of the modifiers that they throw out in front of everything, he wrote “He completed only 10 of 15 passes for 202 yards and the Broncos ran the ball 32 times.” What do you want him to do? He completed 66.6%, one of the best of the weekends, and yet it was only 10/15, that’s awful.
Second, why no under center QB sneaks? There were about 3 3rd and inches and the 1st and 10 from our 6 inch line, where I feel like a QB sneak would work better than anything else. Most teams are very successful running this, and most don’t have a FB sized QB running it (PIT excluded).
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings. ~Earl Wilson
I have never seen a defensive player play a worse game than Andre Goodman played...
Like, I know football is the definition of a team game, but if we’d have lost you could legitimately say he single-handedly lost us the game…
Then he got the ball throw directly to him to win the game. Crazy.
Andre Below-Averageman
Yea yea I know that he made a big play and all, but this guy is a liability. Denver needs two things…Von Miller to come back as soon as possible to provide a pass rush, and to draft a corner as high as possible next year.
This team just keeps finding a way to win…crazy.
