You sound like the same people this year, saying first "quarterback a team to a win, then ill believe", then was "ok bring a team back back in the last 5 minutes of a game, then Ill believe", then "ok get the team into the playoffs, then ill believe". Last week it was " ok win a playoff game, then ill believe".

When you look back at the body of work in his truly first year of QB-ing its impressive. Does he need to improve throwing the ball, of course. But everything ive seen says he can do it by just what he has done this year alone. Hatters still gonna hatte no matter what.

Is it overkill by the media? Of course, when is it not these days?

Does Tebow get too much of the credit? The QB ALWAYS gets too much credit or too much grief when things are going good or bad. Its the nature of the position. The real hero of that game hands down was D. Thomas with 4 receptions for 204 yards, 1td and one hellava stiff arm.

Exellent Hog !! Or maybe he can grope and molest a young lady like the other QB . Tebow has never said that god won the Broncos a game , he just has a strong belief / faith .

To Tebow's credit, he did give his props to Thomas.

But Thomas wouldn't be catching that 80 yard pass if they hadn't established the run so well...and Tebow was a part of making that running game go.

I just feel like this 'magical run' that tebows having is going to come to an end sooner rather than later. NE exposed him in the two teams last meeting. Beat NE in the playoffs than I will believe that he is an NFL worthy starting QB. Show me that you can slide protections the right way, that you can audible to the right play, that you can make the good 20 yard out-route passes. Because you're going to have to do this against NE. Beat a quality team with little, to no injuries, then I'll become a full believer of TT being a good nfl starting QB. Like I said earlier I loved tebow when he was at Florida, always thought he's a great college QB, but NFL he has to single win me a game on his own. Keep in mind his Defense has be playing great, his OL is very young and good giving him lots of time to throw, and his WR's are one of the better cores in the league.

What game were you watching? LeBeau put 8 and 9 guys in the box escentially shutting down the running game and forcing Tebow to beat them by throwing, which he did. This is the first game he made a lot of different throws. Didn't just pull it down and run it, but extended the play with his legs looking to throw. McGahee rushed for 60. Tebow for 50. Not exactly establishing the run so well. I think Tebow showed a lot of improvement in this game especially considering it was a good Steelers defense. All you hatters goin' to hat no matter what Tebow does.

Even if he can get it done against NE....
After last night, let's see what he can do against that Alabama D.

Read the damn post. He beat a battered up pittsburgh defense with out 3 of its starting DL, and their FS (as well as their offense missing some of their key starters Mendenhall, A healthy big ben, their OL always shifting guys around). It wasn't a traditional good steeler defense (nor team), it was a mediocre one, which he still almost lost to...And I'm just saying beat NE with Belichick whose considered a defensive wiz that is nearly unstoppable to beat when he has a bye week to plan for your team. Plus he beat them last time with his defense and made Tim look like the bad QB we always debate about. Beat NE then I'll think he's a good NFL QB, he still hasn't shown me consistency to give me a definite answer. Keep in mind he lost 3 straight before this post season win on this 8-8 team.

I have no idea why no one mentions the fact that Big Ben was hobbling around the field. I think the injuries on defense happen and they really shouldn't be an excuse. To add to that, Ryan Clark's replacement did a decent job out there. However, not having Ben at 100% was a pretty big deal; at healthy Ben turns those 2 FGs into TDs. Still, it doesn't take away from the Broncos play, but it is hard to disregard the fact that it would have been a different game had Ben been healthy (which is the Steelers fault for playing him against the Browns).

Denver needs to beat NE, not Tebow.

The key for Denver will be getting to Brady. If Dumervil and Von Miller can get to Brady, Denver can win this game.
