[expletive] Belichick. Run up the score, [expletive].

I'd prefer the Broncos just forfeit right now.

2 of them were on the chest. The 3rd was almost on the chest, and went through the receiver's hands. They weren't even remotely poorly thrown.

The only two real mistakes I've seen tebow make (at least in the first half) have been a slightly overthrown pass and throwing it away when he was flushed out of the pocket and had an open receiver across the middle. Both excusable. The rest was bad playcalling and extremely, very shoddy line play.
Honestly, I feel like we're watching a different game. One reason the offense has looked so bad is they have to protect Tebow's weaknesses. They're not fooling anyone.

I felt two of those dropped passes were catchable, but poorly thrown. I remember one of them was thrown behind where is needed to be, and the other was ahead.

I think they're likely trying to prove a point, after all of the attention that Tebow has gotten.

I will say I have no idea why Denver isn't throwing the deep ball. Tebow didn't look horrible throwing deep last game.

Belichick is notorious for running up the score.

Tebow has been bad at times, but you must be thinking of different throws than I am. 2 of the ones that I'm talking about literally hit the receiver on the chest. The 3rd went through the receivers hands.

I will say this, Tebow's decision-making hasn't been as good tonight. He's pitched when he should have run, he's run when he should have thrown, etc. He hasn't played very well, in my opinion....... but his throwing hasn't been that bad.

Yep. Tebow alone (where was the Defense?) can't win.

The Ravens will destroy the Patriots.

That was a good throw by tebow. He seems to be at his worst when he's in the pocket throwing short passes.

okay I'm changing the channel.

If there isn't a thorough analysis of Tebow's performance in this game, I will step up and do the job.
