I'm saying that being behind in games and relying on near-miracle plays to win, like the two long field goals Prater hit coupled with the mistakes Barber made, completing less than 20% of your passes for the majority of the game, etc. are not sustainable ways of winning football games. Eventually, things will stop going Denver's way, and the magic will run out. You have to know that, as a reasonable person. Maybe another miracle happens this week, but going as far to expect a fourth quarter comeback is really pushing it, no matter who you have on your team.

And now that I look at Denver's wins, not many of them have really been all that impressive. Of the wins they have under Tebow, only one came against a team I'd consider good, and that was the Jets while they were struggling. Otherwise, beating a terrible KC team, an inconsistent Chargers team, a questionable Raiders team, and barely beating a Chicago team playing without its star running back and a shitty QB under center isn't exactly inspiring.

Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Although, having a dream the other night in which the Broncos were down 51-31 going into the 4th isn't exactly instilling confidence in me.

My mother:

"Patriots have Tom Brady who father's illegitimate children. Tebow has the Lord on his side."

Logical argument there.

If there's one thing to be learned today it's that Orton just wins football games.

Patriots had one of the worst first halves I've ever seen them play, but managed to come back and win it in the second half. They've clinched a first round bye and if they beat Buffalo next week they'll lock up the #1 seed.

Fucking passing yards all over the place this year.

Last season only five quarterbacks threw for 4,000 yards and the leader threw for 4,700.

This year six guys have already thrown for 4,000 and ten guys are on pace to get there.

Yeah, the new rules have pretty much guaranteed that. They've basically outlawed pass defense.

The Pro Bowl rosters were released today. A bunch of Patriots made the AFC team, mostly on the offensive side (to no great surprise). Brady is the starting QB, both of his guards, Mankins and Waters, are starting, as are Wes Welker and Rob Gronkowski. Andre Carter and Wilfork are also starters, though Carter is on IR so he'll need to be replaced no matter what happens. Surprised to see Matthew Slater make it as the special teams player. He is a legitimately very good player on ST, just not sure he's the best in the AFC, so he may have gotten in based on playing in a big market, who knows.

Patriots put up 49 unanswered on the Bills after falling behind 21-0 after a quarter. I'm a bit concerned that they have fallen behind 17-0 and 21-0 in two consecutive weeks, but both times they rallied back. Tom Brady surpassed 5000 yards, Gronk set the single season receiving yards record for a TE, and the Patriots locked up the #1 seed. Now the goal is to not go one-and-done for the third straight time.

Oh and the Jets were eliminated from playoff contention, which is awesome.

The Broncos look like shit so far. Two punts on two possessions and our best offensive lineman (Right Guard Chris Kuper) was carted off the field with some kind of leg injury.

Oh look, we start moving the ball and our starting fullback goes down with a knee injury and then Tebow fumbles.

'nother punt.

I could run an NFL offense better than Tebow has been the last three games.
