Doc Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 It appears as if Tebow has been figured-out and is done as a starting QB. I guess time will tell, but John Elway certainly can't be excited about the last 3 games, even though they backed into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnyBacker Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yeah Denver will need help from the pope in Italy if they want a chance to stay within 30 points of Pitt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy in 4C Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I would absolutely start Brady Quinn this week. If the Bills and KC can make Tebow one-dimensional, Pittsburgh definitely can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbosrrgood Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The media isn't giving Denver any chance this week and by how their offense mainly Tebow has been playing it's hard to think otherwise, but I think this game will be a tight game with Denver pulling it out in the end. I think Denver's D matches up well to Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh has struggled offensively at times throughout the season putting up points. I think the Denver's defense will have a point to prove and can keep them in this game with the momentum changing with some special teams or a long run by McGahee to spring open the game in the 4th and win by a field goal! I wouldn't be surprised if this is a very boring game to watch. You never know in the NFL, but this certainly doesn't look good for Denver. Tebow has shown his true colors over the past 3 weeks, and defenses know how to handle him. This game basically comes down to the Denver defense needing to force turnovers, and probably a lot of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Funny how everyone is so quick to write players/teams off when they don't want them to succeed, and hang on to others way too long. (Tebow had been written off immediatly by fans around the league because the media says that "his style can't win in the NFL", Yet someone like Sanchez and Romo people still believe can be players to lead their teams to a Super Bowl). I feel bad for him because he seems like such a good guy, and someone we should all hope would succeed and be a true role model for children watching the sport. Instead everyone seems to want to bring him down and push up guys like Vick Pittsburgh right now is not the powerhouse team everyone thinks, they struggled to beat a bad Browns team and are really banged up. They are a beatable team who better hope that their offence can get them a quick lead, cause the closer the score stays late into the game, the better chance that Denver has with an upset. Denvers last 3 losses included a close loss to a divison team that has improved the last couple weeks with a new coach and QB (who was also looking for revenge after losing his starting job), A blowout against the Bills, and a blow out against the AFC's top seeded team. This is probably the best matchup right now for the Broncos to have. If healthy, the Steelers would be one of the AFC favorites, but in the shape they are in, Denver can pull out a win. Cincy, Baltimore and New England just seem too strong right now, the only other option that the Broncos could have had a chance with is the Texans, because they are also hurting right now and struggled to finish the season (good thing the division was basically given to them once Peyton went down and Chris Johnson struggled to start the season). I would not be shocked if the Broncos pull out a win this week and beat the Steelers, I would be shocked if they made it any further though.....

Im not rooting agains Tebow. after seeing him play live and watching that game against the chiefs, I dont think he can beat the steelers this week. I just dont think hes capable enough as a passer yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are really stretching to try and justify that Denver has a chance. I don't think it will be remotely close but you never know.

'64 Bills Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Whereas the Lions will be under pressure to keep up with the Saints on offense, the Broncos will have the same pressure to keep up with Pittsburgh on defense. Man, the NFL playoffs are awesome. Sometimes I forget it could actually be that much more exciting if my team ever qualified for them. so true my man - so true!
