Broncos Fans Talking Super Bowl

[RoughingthePasser]

Denver won't get past us or Baltimore and even if the won the AFC-they wouldn't win the SB. Not there yet.

 

[BradyFTW!]

He made one bad pass all night. That's better than Brady's done for most of the year.

He was 10 for 21. I watched the game; he threw a lot more than one bad pass.

The only bad pass he threw all night was the one where the receiver was coming across the middle on 3rd down towards the end of the game and Tebow short hopped it.

He made one bad pass all night (I believe that's the number Simms credited). That's better than Brady's done for most of the year.

Deus, that's a silly comment and you know it. Comparing Tebow to Brady as a passer is a non-starter if ever there was one.

I didn't compare them as passers. I noted one game's passing by Tebow and compared it to Brady's passing games, strictly in terms of number of bad passes thrown. You know that Brady's been putting a couple of passes way off the mark in pretty much every game this year. The reason for it has been a topic of multiple threads.

Throw away pass is usually not a "bad" pass

Pass that just misses connecting is usually not a "bad" pass

Burying a pass in the dirt on a play where the ball's not supposed to be in the "place where only the receiver can get it" is making a bad pass.

Tebow's misses last night were generally close or deliberate. Simms was the one saying that he'd only made the one bad pass, so It's not as if I was scrambling for it.

Coach Billichek should simply forfeit this game. There must be a way.

OK, but I don't get your point by comparing the two, especially citing yesterday's remarkably uncharacteristic performance from Tebow as an example. The offenses and passing games are as different as night and day. If Tebow comes anywhere close to duplicating last night's showing anytime soon, I'll eat one of my hats.

 

[PatsGirl2011]

I hope this is not a repost, but the Pats are not a lock to win this game. Should they win? Yes! However, I am not going to say the Broncos have no chance..its the NFL people! I don't know why fans haven't learned from previous year by acting like the Pats are a lock. Honestly, if the Pats don't get to the SB, I hope the Broncos or Texans do.

Come on, Tune, read the threads before responding to posts. There was nothing out of line about my post.

 

[tuckeverlasting]

People often forget that as Patriots fans or as a Bronco, we're SUPPOSED to be homers! That's the definition of fan(atic).

Oh I know you'll hear people say, "I'm a football fan, not a Pats fans..." but that's a load of steamin crap. Show me someone who doesn't have passion about their team and I'll show you a marginal fan.

how about all of san diego. weakest, dumbest, ill-informed fan base, next to stealer fan, i've ever had the displeaure of meeting.

 

[UK_Pat37]

Don't see a problem with what was written there at all....it's what I would expect...there's nothing wrong with having some faith. It wasn't a long time ago that's all THIS team's fans had...faith and a bit of hope!

 

[PatsDeb]

"The Right Tebow" lights up secondaries for numbers of deep completions rarely seen in playoff games and leads his team to victory over heavily favored opponents. Why would the completion percentage matter?

The Right Tebow has shown up exactly once against a depleted defense who had the Wrong Game Plan and stuck to said Wrong Game Plan for the whole game. Even then, The Right Tebow had to go to overtime to win, where, inexplicably, the depleted defense continued to use the Wrong Game Plan and paid for it dearly. Chances of all this happening two weeks in a row, in a hostile environment? Not very good in my opinion. I know you disagree. And completion percentage absolutely matters in a shoot out, which The Right Tebow will probably have to get into to win this game.

It's not silly, it's downright idiotic.

On the OP, good luck to the Broncos fans. They should believe in their team. I for one will be rooting for the Patriots to crush the Broncos.

 

[Rob0729]

If Jets fans can talk about the Jets being a surprise team in the playoffs and win the Super Bowl when they were 8-6, why can't the Broncos fans talk about the possibility when they are playing in the Division round of the playoffs in an AFC where every team still in have some sizable question marks.

I think their run ends on Saturday night, but it isn't crazy to think they could get to the Super Bowl. It is highly unlikely, but they only have to win two games.

About as dumb as comparing the great Peyton Manning to a 'gay system QB who can't throw the long ball".
Quite clearly the Broncos have no shot of winning and should just stay home and go skiing.
TT wins, just like Tom.
I couldn't care about his stats.
The lockout hurt TT a lot I think.
I also think if he were a "righty" it wouldn't look as weird when he throws.
Takes some time to get used to.

I understand fans are allowed to have optimism about their team and what not, but I have taken a look at their forums and there is a difference between optimism and blind faith and what I see there is blind faith, which i guess is what you should expect from them.

I had the joy of watching the broncos game at my friends house who is a prideful steelers fan. As I watched that game the steelers confirmed something in my eyes. They were not the same steelers we had faced in october. I have had this theory for the past month that the steelers "peaked" to early in the season, which was basically when we faced them. They were never as good after that game. The broncos may have faced a bunch of guys known as the steelers, but that team was most certainly not the steelers that I know and hate.

I'm actually loving the fact that everyone is giving the broncos a fare chance to beat us and that they are coming out very strong. I think it lowers the chances of us overlooking them. The biggest mistake teams have made against the broncos this season has been underestimating them.

I also love some of the excuses they are making why they lost last time to us. The fact that they turned the ball over 3 times is the biggest one. Yet they over look the fact that we played that game not only in their house, but without Branch, Chung, or Spikes, AND lost Carter in the middle of the game. I'm looking forward to this match up cause not only do I think we will win, but I think our defense will come up bigger than everyone expects, yet it will continue to be overlooked because we are facing Tim Tebow.

You've taken a look at the Broncos's forums. I've been camping there for over 2 years, and I can assure you the vast majority of us are pretty clear-eyed about our chances.

And I've yet to see any criticisms of Tebow on this forum that match what I've seen on the Broncos' forums for sheer negativity.

For the most part your fans are very well educated. But you'll see occasional dumb comments as to why the Pats lost (when they occasionally do), just like anywhere else.

Like I've said previously, I think if you replay our last meeting 100 times, Pats win at least 75 times, whether or not we fumble.

We'll need to play lights out with no mistakes, and then hope the Pats make a few uncharacteristic mistakes on their end to have a shot.

But yeah, we're indulging in a bit of wild optimism right now.

:rocker:

 

[Dufflebagz]

The only bad pass he threw all night was the one where the receiver was coming across the middle on 3rd down towards the end of the game and Tebow short hopped it.

How about that one in the 1st quarter (possibly 2nd) where he lofted it into the endonze, with his reciever double covered? He got lucky it wasn't picked off...that thing looked like a punt.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Somewhat heretical I know, but if quantum uncertainty collapses in a way the the Patriots are not the AFC Champs, then my next choice would be a Saints-Donks SuperBowl. Entertaining with no despised teams (I USED to hate the Donks, but no more).

As you should be! It's the playoffs, and as any Pats fan who was around in 2001 can tell you, your team is always in it right up until they lose. You've already outlasted 75% of the teams in the NFL; pretty much any degree of optimism is reasonable at this point.
