Denver-broncos-rookie
By Chris Warner, Patriots Daily Staff This must be New England: where else would following a 10-3 team get depressing? Dropped passes, airheaded penalties and a consistent lack of defense led to a 34-27 shootout in Washington – not exactly the late-season salve Patriots fans sought against a 4-9 team. New England returns to the road this weekend, heading to Denver to face quarterback Tim Tebow and His Tebowites. Somehow, the man who started the season unable to throw a football into a kiddie pool is 7-1 as a starter, with each comeback win jockeying for its own mini-documentary on ESPN. He has shown significant improvement of late. Some thoughts for the week… If You Want You Can Look And You Will Find Me, Tom After Tom: So quarterback Tom Brady throws for 357 Yards and three touchdowns, and of course all we’re interested in is his verbal confrontation on the sideline. Is the pressure of having to be perfect getting to Our Tom? Could be. But maybe he just felt stupid throwing an ...

Tebow’s Success Coming from Above

When asked if it’s ‘Tebow Time’, the Denver Broncos QB stated, “No, it Broncos time!” That came after a 6-game winning streak and a come from behind win in OT against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

Report: Gamblers like Pats over Tebow

While many eyes will be on Tim Tebow's efforts against the New England Patriots Sunday, it seems backing for the Denver Broncos quarterback stops at bettors' wallets. Tebow's late-game heroics have made him a rising star among many football fans, but when it comes to real money, gamblers are finding it hard to back him against Patriots signal-caller and serial winner...

Tebow approaching Manning's record

I bet you never thought that Tim Tebow would be positively compared to Peyton Manning, but Cold Hard Football Facts noticed that he's one comeback shy of Manning's five straight in 2009: Last week it was already predicted Tim Tebow would lead another comeback against the Bears. That happened. Caleb Hanie didn’t throw any interceptions this week, let alone three, but somehow...

Broncos trying to buck trend of slow starts

(Eds: Adds details, quotes. With AP Photos.) By PAT GRAHAM AP Sports Writer Tim Tebow has tried everything else. Now, he's going to set his alarm for the crack of dawn. Maybe the early bird will get the offense rolling. With the Denver Broncos relying on his last-minute magic to pull off six comebacks in the eight games he's started, Tebow joked that maybe he should arrive...

Brady Would Rather Talk Broncos Than Tebow

Two things we've come to expect from the New England Patriots' (anti-)PR machine: a) make only laudatory observations about the opposition (obvious exception: Freddie Mitchell), and b) don't dwell on any one topic too long. During his weekly radio appearance on WEEI, Pats quarterback Tom Brady only had nice things to say about his Denver counterpart, Tim Tebow, who...

In Tebow-style, Redskins' Helu expresses his faith

(Eds: With AP Photos.) By JOSEPH WHITE AP Sports Writer Like Tim Tebow, Roy Helu has become the most exciting offensive player on his team. And like Tebow, the Washington Redskins running back isn't shy about sharing his Christian faith, interspersing his answers to reporters' questions with phrases like: ''I've been praying to be a better steward and a better...

Tom Brady vs. Tim Tebow: A tale of the tape for Patriots vs. Broncos

Getty ImagesTom Brady and Tim Tebow. If it weren’t for Aaron Rodgers, we might be talking about Sunday’s Broncos vs. Patriots matchup as a battle of NFL MVP contenders. (Well, assuming voters would logically choose the player who was most valuable to their team, as opposed to the best player overall, but we digress). Still, with Tim Tebow lining up opposite Tom Brady...

Why Tim Tebow Will Make It As a Long Term QB

If you don’t agree, consider the following cases of sports stars who have been successful even though they were a little bit differrent. Consider Carl Yastrzemski.

Patriots Coach Bill Belichick Seems To Be A Fan Of Broncos QB TimTebow

Coach Bill Belichick took a few minutes this morning at Gillette Stadium to answer Tebow-related questions according to Mike Whitmer of the Boston Globe. He likes what he's seen so far from the Broncos' newest star. "I don’t know if there’s another quarterback in the league that has Tim Tebow’s skills," Belichick said. "He can run, he can throw, he's...

New York Jets Fans: Week 15 Rooting Guide

Last week was one of those beautiful times where every single thing broke the New York Jets way. Can they get the same kind of help this weekend? It isn’t too likely considering the following match-ups, but hey you never know… Tennessee Titans (7-6) at Indianapolis Colts (0-13) – The Colts have to eventually win right? Right? Maybe I am reaching here but I do think...

Underwood sees late playing time

By Tim BrittonSeeing Tom Brady throw a critical interception in the end zone was surprising on Sunday; seeing Tiquan Underwood as the second receiver on the play may have been just as unexpected. With Deion Branch struggling with a groin injury, Underwood got the nod over Chad Ochocinco and Julian Edelman in the goal-to-go situation. It's hard to blame Underwood for what ensued...

In The Red Zone - 12/13

The New England Patriots are in the midst of their second two game road trip of the season with back-to-back road games against Washington and Denver. Their earlier trip back-to-backers in Buffalo and Oakland yielded a win in the Black Hole and a loss in southern Canada. Now in addition to playing a football game in Denver they have to face the aspect of Tebow-mania. Head coach...

Patriots' Belichick mum as to why Brady, Wilfork limited

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick had no interest in explaining why quarterback Tom Brady and nose tackle Vince Wilfork were limited in Friday's practice, though there's apparently no reason to believe they won't play Sunday against the Denver Broncos.

Usually we kick off each non-division week with some videos of...

Usually we kick off each non-division week with some videos of past memorable match-ups. Unfortunately with the Broncos there isn’t a whole lot to choose from. It’s pretty much this play, and the intentional safety game. This play summed up Ben Watson’s Patriots career perfectly, amazing physical specimen of a play, that ultimately didn’t really matter much. I hesitated even...

The Best Opponent For The Packers In The Super Bowl

Power rankings. You hate them. They’re so arbitrary and pointless, especially when they include all 32 NFL teams. All you want to know after a good week of NFL action is who the bestest team in the NFL right now, and which one is the absolute barrel-scraping worst.
