“He’s a competitive dude,” Broncos coach John Fox said. “He’s super competitive. He never lays his sword down. He’ll fight you to the death. That’s just his nature. He’s a great young man.”
Tim finished the game 9/20 for 104 yards, plus 8 rushes for 68 yards and a touchdown. “I like winning,” Tebow said “but I wish it wasn’t this stressful.”

A clip from the postgame interview:
]]>“I thought he was a great competitor and he is a winner, and that’s what he’s showing right now,” Ryan said, in comments distributed by the Jets’ PR staff. “Are there prettier passers than him? Yeah, absolutely. But again, [we] just [have to] try to find a way to beat him.”
Asked how the Jets will transition from preparing for Tom Brady and the Patriots last week to Tebow and the Broncos this week, Ryan said it couldn’t be more different.
“It’s totally different,” Ryan said. “[The Broncos] ran 55 [times], they had 55 runs and eight passes. But each week it’s different. Sometimes they spread you out and then they’ll run it, they’ll do a lot of creative things. So it’s definitely [a challenge], in this short a time, we’ve got our hands full.”
Rex Ryan is usually arrogant – it’s odd seeming him humble for once.
]]>It wasn’t the prettiest game for a QB. Tebow finished just 2/8 for 69 yards with 1 touchdown. He ran the ball 9 times for 43 yards and a touchdown. At halftime, Tebow only had 4 passing attempts. So in fantasy football, he probably got you around 18 points — so not great but not terrible (like what Vick did).
“It’s just a mind-set. It’s a low-risk offense. It’s not an indictment on Tim Tebow or whoever our quarterback is,” Broncos coach John Fox said. “It’s just whatever is working for us. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. We tried to possess the ball and keep our defense fresh.”
He did hit Eric Decker on a beautiful 56-yard touchdown pass. Decker had double coverage and Tebow put the ball right on the money. I would love to see more of that.
]]>With a win over the Chiefs, the Broncos can move into a 3-way tie for second place in the division. After the first few games of the season, there’s no one out there who thought the Broncos would compete for a division title. But they’d only be 1 game behind Oakland and certainly capabale of competing.
The Chiefs are giving up 370.8 yards pergame (250.5 in the air and 120.2 on the ground). Giving up 120+ on the ground is not good, I think this opens up the opportunity for Tim to run all over them like he did aginast Oakland. KC is giving up 25.1 points per game and the Broncos 28, so this could be a high scoring game.
Call me crazy but I think Tim Tebow will elad the Broncos to another win this week. Kansas City is coming off a terrible loss to the Dolphins last week and they’re in a position to be taken advantage of. Tim is going to throw for 200 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception, plus he’ll run the ball for 80 yards and a touchdown. I didn’t post a Fantasy Football Start Em Sit Em yesterday, but for those of you keeping score that would be 26 points (In my league).
Go Tebow!
]]>I applaud the Broncos for tweaking their offense to support Tim’s style of play. With success in the second half of the season, we could see Tebow return to Denver next year as the starting QB. The Broncos clearly are not in the running for Andrew Luck anymore.
Also, here are the highlights from the game in Oakland. Tim made some very nice throws, showing arm strength and accuracy.
]]>The Broncos beat the Raiders in Oakland yesterday 38-24. No one gave Tim Tebow and the Broncos much of a chance. Tim the 2 touchdowns and rushed for over 100 yards. He also got a lot of help from Eddie Royal and Willis McGahee.
The Broncos are now 3-5 and only one game out of. First place in the division.
