NFL Week Eleven LD - The Tebows, erm, Broncos on Prime Time

[Megatron]

Here's the full slate of games for Week 11:

NYJ @ DEN
JAX @ CLE
CAR @ DET
TB @ GB
BUF @ MIA
OAK @ MIN
DAL @ WSH
CIN @ BAL
SEA @ STL
ARZ @ SF
TEN @ ATL
SD @ CHI
PHI @ NYG
KC @ NE

Pretty crappy lookin slate aside from Cincy/Baltimore and da Chagas/Bears. However I am interested in tonights game to see how many throws Tebow even attempts (I'll put the over/under at 14. going slightly over) and to see the option offense try to work. I love the option, so if Denver can execute it it'll be fun to watch.

Enjoy the week, guys.

I don't see Tebow or the Denver offense having much success tonight against a pissed off Jets D.

 

[Megatron]

Eh, short week against an offense that really isn't run anywhere else. The Jets SHOULD win, but with it being at Denver (the Jets are 1-4 in last 5 road games in regular season) and the Broncos just finding ways to win with Tebow you never know. Plus the Jets always like to fuck up a game that they should win every year that leaves you wondering how the hell they lost. I'm not picking Denver, but I think this will be a one score game. 20-17ish. Denvers D has played pretty well lately as well (granted against not so good teams, but still, Mark Sanchez isn't a worldbeater).

 

[Unsold Bacon]

I honestly think Tebow and my Broncos can pull this off.

 

[Big Sexy]

I just don't see it happening. The only good defense Tebow has played was the Lions and we all know how that turned out. They have adjusted the offense a lot since then but the Jets defense has enough film on what the Broncos have been running so they can't surprise teams like they did the last couple weeks. The Jets D just has too much speed and too many play makers. It doesn't help that McGahee isn't 100% and Knowshon is out.

 

[Slyfox696]

With the Jets having virtually no time to prepare for the Broncos offense (day off Monday, practice Tuesday, fly out Wednesday), it wouldn't surprise me to see them get "upset".

Is this game only on NFL Network? As in, no chance for me to watch it legally?

 

[Megatron]

Yeah, Sly, it is. Unless you are in the Denver or NY market, I believe.

And I think the defense will keep the Broncos in the game. Tebow will throw a bit more and if he is accurate (which I know is asking much) on deep balls they might get a big play or two.

 

[Megatron]

Boring offense my ass...

 

[Unsold Bacon]

Actually Megatron I'm watching it on a network other than the NFL network.

 

[Megatron]

Eh you either sneak that or take your 3 this early.

EDIT: That's probably because you're in Canada. Sly's from Missouri, I believe.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Nice stop on 4th down

 

[jmt225]

This is sure to be a low scoring game. You have to take all the points you can get. Bad decision by Fox not to kick the FG.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah it was. 3/3 for 40-something yards is a good start to the drive though.

 

[Megatron]

Well JMT Fox just lucked out with that 15ish yard punt

 

[klunderbunker]

If this score holds up, which it could, the Denver Broncos will be .500 and half a game out of first place in Week 11.

 

[Slyfox696]

I see the Broncos got a FG after all. No harm done.

 

[Megatron]

And would be a game out of the WC behind the two North teams with the tiebreaker over Cincy if they were tied due to H2H win.

 

[Unsold Bacon]

Greene is down.

 

[Unsold Bacon]

That ball hit the gröùñd no queštįon.

 

[Unsold Bacon]

That was a short possesion.

 

[Megatron]

I was gonna say I'm taking my points there Rex. 4th and 2 you cant just sneak it in and you don't have your top 2 backs.

 

[Megatron]

The Jets ST has fucked them in the field position game so far today.

 

[Megatron]

I know that Fox isn't a fan of Tebow throwing, but I'm waiting for that rollout deep pass. It's bound to get them caught sleeping sometime.

 

[jmt225]

Broncos need to take McGahee out the game. He's obviously still hurt.

Also, they need to have a little more faith in Tebow. There was absolutely no risk in just giving him a shot there on 3rd and 11 to make a play with a real pass attempt.

As Woody Hayes once said, "There are three things that can happen when you pass, and two of them ain't good"
