IT'S TEBOW TIME!!!!!

 

[ffldrew]

A short drive for the Vikings stopped when the Broncos send the house - Booker carrying the ball for the Vikings on a down - punt pins the Broncos at the 1. Hang on for the 99 yard drive orchestrated by Tebow to add to his legend

IT'S TEBOW TIME!!!!!

Minnesota 3 and out despite a nice 9 yard run by Gerhart on 1st drivePunt downed at the 1. Tebow will have to start from there.

 

[ffldrew]

....or a safety

 

[bonesman]

I'm pretty sure I'd sneak it there for at least a few inches.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

Horrible play calling. When you're at the one yard line — either one yard line — you put the ball in Tebow's hands. Coach Fox is still learning.

 

[Andy Hicks]

....or a safety

McGahee couldn't get it out

 

[biggamer3]

Didn't he land on goal line?

 

[Buffaloes]

Fells might want to block Allen on that play. McCoy might want to run a QB sneak with his LB-sized QB. What a dumb play.

JA maaay have been offsides, but still pretty terrible call.

As much as I know the Vikings suck this year, I would love nothing more than to see them shut down the Broncos today. Their fans have become insufferable since Tebow took over.

 

[Buffaloes]

Bronco defence minus Miller=terrible

 

[griff321]

"Tebowesque"

As in Joe Webb is getting Tebowesque out there

Really - I think most of us - especially here - are surprised and just along for the ride. I could see the bottom falling out at any moment . And right now the way they are playing it could be here in MSP

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Alright let's stretch the field with Eric Decker now

 

[ffldrew]

Ponder hit and fumbles in the Red Zone- Broncos pick it up and rumble, bumble, stumble to the 50.

I haven't run into an insufferable Broncos fan yet. I do see a lot of people cheering for Tebow, but many of them aren't Denver fans and much of it is tongue in cheek.

Yep. And I love the Broncos suddenly having a defense this good. Huge play there.

 

[griff321]

Ponder fumble on a third and goal and the ball goes flying down the field. Not cashing in on that safety is going to come back and bite the Vikes.

[ffldrew]

Big tackle by Sapp on Royal - he was poised to go for some yards there

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Can't believe Royal got taken down on that short of the 1st down.

 

[madviking10]

 

[ffldrew]

Bronco D!!!!!!! Mario Haggan with INT Pick 6 - horrible read by Ponder

 

[PennStater77]

Ponder sucks

 

[timschochet]

Broncos Defense= NFL MVP

 

[ArcticEdge]

Denver is probably the only team that I dont mind if they beat us.

 

[Sea Duck]

At this rate Denver should just punt on 1st down, every time.

 

[ffldrew]

Broncos D has been on the field for all but about 1 min this quarter.

 

[madviking10]

WTF ?

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Playing offense is overrated.

 

[timschochet]

Denver is probably the only team that I dont mind if they beat us.

THIS is the insufferable stuff- he's not a Denver fan, but he's rooting for Tebow- against his own team.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

That's a fumble, Vikings ball.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Lol, is Denver ever going to get to run some plays on offense?

 

[griff321]

That's a fumble, Vikings ball.

 

[Buffaloes]

agreed. this is terrible

 

[ffldrew]

Pretty sloppy play on both sides so far

 

[ffldrew]

Looks like Harvin is in for a big day - especially in PPR

 

[biggamer3]

Percy is gonna be a stud next year

Why isnt this game on CBS.. AFC team visiting a NFC team.

 

[ffldrew]

7-5

That's what I thought today as well

Must have something to do with the flex-scheduling system.

Maybe since Fox lost Det/NO and CBS gained Indy/NE, Fox got to steal a game from CBS. That is the best thing I can think of.

 

[ArcticEdge]

Finally Musgrave wises up and is only running Tobie vertically.

 

[ffldrew]

Broncos blitz is killing the Vikes and may kill Ponder

 

[ffldrew]

Finally a first down

ETA - on a decent pass as well

Correct.http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2011/12/wondering-why-the-denver-minnesota-game-on-fox-here-is-your-answer/

This week’s Detroit-New Orleans game was recently flexed to Sunday Night Football because the previously scheduled New England-Indianapolis game has turned out to be such a poor matchup.Because of this switch, New England-Indianapolis became a 1:00 game; and since it features two AFC teams, it was added to CBS’ schedule.However, this created the odd situation in which CBS would have had seven early games with FOX having only two. Thus, the Denver-Minnesota game was given to FOX to balance things out a little bit.

No catch - good catch by Demarious Thomas - except for a few inches on his left foot
