Quite the epic run...

[Popps]

I'm in no way a Tebow-cultist or a Tebow hater. I just love the kid and hope for him to get better as a passer, which he showed signs of today. So, until the season is over... I'm not that interested in evaluating whether or not he's the QB of the future. We simply need to see more.

But, for those long-time fans out there... am I wrong, or is this one of the most impressive runs a QB (and his team) have put together for us?
We've beaten the ENTIRE division on the road. That alone has to be historic.
Beyond that of course, you go from 1-4, dead in the water... to a winning record and fighting for the division. (With another solid team beaten in that run.)

I have no idea where this season is going, but I struggle to think of a circumstance this crazy in my 30 years watching the team. Wondering where you guys put this run in your all-time list. Personally, if we lose every game from here out... this is still the most excitement I can remember in this small of a time-frame in ages.

You're beginning to see the light. This kid is something special.

Perfect take Popps! Exactly where im at.............

After the blocked kicked, I was telling my son about some of the games in the 80's when "Mile High Magic" was in full effect. In those days, no matter what the situation or score was, I would not lose hope. Denver would usually find a way to win. This team is beginning to remind of the those good, old days.

Huh?

My opinion of him is essentially what it was a few weeks ago. Hopeful, impressed but not sold 100% he's the QBOTF. What "light" is being seen?
Why would I have to make a definitive judgment on the kid without seeing him play out the season? Silly response.

I'm talking about this team, and the run it's been on. Clearly, Tebow is the spark-plug and has been instrumental. He deserves a TON of credit.
But, it's more about where this run ranks in the minds of long-time fans... not really a chance for the zealots on either side to bicker. Plenty of threads for that.

This run is testing my limits and rebuilding my faith in the "ain't over 'til its over." After we punted in the first OT I was like "we may lose." I definitely thought punting the second time was stupid and when they got into field goal range and called timeout before the block, I felt "that was our chance and we blew it." Nope. We just won't die. We're a team of zombies.

Bingo. Because, with all due credit to Tebow... this defense held up TIME after TIME in this game. They played lights-out, and continue to make their biggest plays in the biggest moments.

It's a clutch feel this team has developed. It does feel like old times.

[Vegas_Bronco]

Announcers hit that point today when they said "if you're a broncos fan your use to these kind of games...its not the prettiest offensive display...but some great defensive play...they play to give tebow a last shot." Defense has been AMAZING!!!

Tebow has 1 pick and no fumbles on 200+ carries.

This combination will win 80-90% of the time.

Not sure where this ranks overall. There just have not been that many like this. It is getting close to the Revenge tour in 97-98 to get us to SB 32 in its scope....except that was in the playoffs and against one good team after another..
But considering where the team was before the bye this is about as impressive.

[spdirty]

Doesn't come close to matching the Revenge Tour after losing to San Francisco in humiliating fashion on Monday night. Or the 13-0 run the next year. But it's pretty amazing given all the circumstances.

Zombies are known to work overtime

Good stuff, Popps. At this point, we just need Popps to add a 55 to his username and he'll be good to go.

[Dr. Broncenstein]

As raw and inexperienced as he is to this point... thrown to the wolves at the absolute low point of the season with zero reps... on a shiat team in flux with a front office decidedly not in his corner... he's led the team on this "epic run." Just imagine what he can do when you build a team around him, cater the offense to his skill set, dedicate the entire off-season to developing him as a pro quarterback. Then keep doing that for a few years. It will likely work.

****ing weirdo.

[Paladin]

It is clear that Allen has put together a pretty good D scheme, and Fox is relying on them; some would sat too much, but wth, oit works. Miller is fabulous and really gives h3ll to the QBs, and Doom seems to be back enough to be a threat. Tebow is just adequate, but is a threat to run which obviuosly bothers Ds. Nice run, but it plays h3ll with my heart and my patience.....

[Boogerboots]

Keep on runnin' those horses. It's like there are two versions of Orange Crush working on both sides of the ball right now... Offensive Crush and Defensive Crush.

As a fan I can finally say that after a few years of heartbreak, I can actually enjoy watching these guys prove all the critics wrong. All clutch and guts!

Let's hope EFX manage to pull their heads out of their asses before it's too late...

Yep, great post! Until he has a full offseason as the #1 guy and they add another receiver and RB, hard to say if Tebow for sure if the future. But no way do I believe this current team, if had one of the top rookie QB's right now playing, they would still be winning like they are. No way.

[Popps]

I mean, we saw Elway make lemonade out of lemons for years. But, I just don't recall ever being this dead in the water, and not only coming back into contention... but doing it on the road... all in the division. It's just nuts.

[Ratboy]

Epic run you say?

What about an epic spin move!

I snapped when Mathews got that big run in OT. I should have known better.

DJ is clearly off the sauce. He's played extremely well during this run.

But, he's teased me like this before. Not jumping to any conclusions just yet.

He may not be conventional, but you build a team around a guy like Tebow. This run is a fuggin bat signal that says just that.

lol...fair enough. DJ FTW...that's my boy. I'm on such a high right now after this win. If OAK slips up we are right there to take it. It's very hard to even grasp that as a concept, but its true, we somehow could be right there in the postseason....hosting a playoff game nonetheless. Fun times.
