The comeback was pretty impressive, I have to admit. Regardless of the major mistakes made by both teams (especially Miami that allowed it), it's not often that I've seen a game that exciting at the very end. Of course, the first 55 minutes were completely boring...

At least Telbow did pretty well in the last few minutes. Then again, Telbow was a huge reason why we needed the comeback in the first place. It's a shame; I think the guy has a lot of potential, but he's just not there yet. He needs a lot of practice. Especially when it comes to throwing the ball. There were so many passes where I just cringed because he missed by such a huge margin.

@chocoloco; I agree that McDaniels really screwed up the team. I was surprised that the Broncos started off at 6-0 in his first season, because it seemed like we won all of those games by some fluke. Then last season happened and proved me right. But I'm still cheering for the Broncos. I can't help it. I'm a die-hard Colorado sports fan. Even the Rockies (how about that 2007 choke in the World Series?!).

Tebow looked reall bad against the Lions, but the loss is certainly not all his fault as the defense is also one of the worst in in the NFL. With time I expect he will improve and still think he has potential to be a star. That may be a couple years down the road, but as John Lynch said (former Bronco now announcer) said during the game the lions have quickly gone from a trashy team to a potential super bowl champion very quickly. These kinds of things happen all the time. I always follow the Broncs even if they suck and it is ggreat the city and state still do too.

Yeah, I watched the Rookies that playoff year (as I am not even close to a baseball fan). That was exciting, but I knew they had no chance against the RED Sox. It will be interesting to see if they ever become really good. Watch the Nuggets more mostly in the playoffs, but the Avalanche and the Broncos are my favorite teams by far.

No, it's not all his fault. It's not even just the defense. The offense is terrible too. With McGahee out, our best runner was pretty much... Telbow. And throwing the ball? Telbow has accuracy issues, yeah, but he's not being protected very well either. What was it, seven sacks again? Sure, some were his fault. Maybe even the majority. He's got a lot to learn, and he better learn fast. But for the rest, everything just fell apart around him before he had time to do anything. And then when he actualy threw the ball, the recievers would constantly drop it. And with the offense going three and out so many times, the defense is being run ragged trying to stop the other team. Really, the team is just all around awful.

Saying Telbow is a joke is harsh. He may not ever be a great QB, but I think he does have potential. If he can learn how to make better calls during plays, and increase his accuracy, he'd be pretty good. Right now though? Yeah, he does have a lot of room for improvement. The reason why he's so controversial is because half the world thinks he's the second coming of Christ, and the other half hates him because the first half loves him and they don't understand why. He's got a lot of unfair expectations placed on him from people expecting him to be the next John Elway. The lockout probably didn't help him improve any either.

And as for Orton and Quinn, I feel bad for them. They're getting screwed over because everyone wants Telbow. Orton may not be great, but he has shown that he can be pretty good (barring this season). When he was doing well last season, people didn't even want him to play. Which is a shame, because he was out there doing his best, and doing pretty darn well. (The fact that we did so horribly pretty much comes from McDaniels. He really screwed the team over.) That probably didn't make him feel very good. And Quinn just hasn't ever gotten a shot to play at all.
