we need to win out and hope denver losses 2. we got a shot with them losing only to NE, i think we take the tie breaker but im not too sure. divisional record would be the same, conference record would be the same, wins against common opponents is the same i think, damn it wil be close.
as long as we beat buffalo and KC we are in regardless if yo uall win out. if you lose a game (i think detroit) we can lose 2 games as long as the 1 we win is KC

Carson Palmer is terrible and that trade was dumb as fuck setting you back like 5 years. Bengals on the other hand will be up and coming. Lol @ giving up that much for an old turd to finish .500 that's the kind of trade you do when you're one player away from a Super Bowl not to go 8-8 or 9-7.

Feel dumb for insisting that Tim Tebow sucks yet?
Nope, he isnt the reason we are winning games...well i suppose his 3 completions in the 1st half were huge. maybe it was his first 11 drives that lead to 0 points that did the trick. Oh wait I know, it was his 27% 3rd down completion rate...noooo thats not it its the 5 sacks he took. or maybe just maybe it was his 1 int and 1 fumble.


or in reality it was a great defense, an improbablt 59 yard fg followed by a fumble forced by def in OT then followed again by a 51 yard FG....DEF AND SPECIAL TEAMS!!!

Saying that tebow is winning these games is like saying Dilfer was the reason Ravens won all those games thier super bowl years, or kind of like giving Brad Johnson the credit for all of Tampa Bays wins there winning year.

Tebow did lead them to 20 and 30 yard drives to set up to super long fg's though...oh and a drive against a piss poor prevent def...but yes.....its all tebows reason!

They'd be like 3-10 if Orton still was starting
we'll never know. Orton and offense wasnt doing great but neither was defense at that same time.

you do understand this is a defense with their 6th d cordinator in 6 years and a whole new scheme all with no offeseason right and majority of thier "stars" hurt first 5 weeks. they needed time to get healthy and gel as a unit and comfortable with new scheme, its now been showing.

fuck talkin bout the broncos this is the raiders thread.

we need a safety and bad, they always seem to be out of position on big plays.

we need a solid d-lineman, seymour and kelly dont have much in the tank left.

and we need another corner.

this time will not make it far in the playoffs if they even do make it.

bush isnt worth a number 1 back. i had hopes but he might dont got it!

this... come on man as a donkey fan you gotta give Tebow his props.. he elevated every players game around him as well.. that D is actually playing tough for this kid.. I wish yal woulda kept Orton in.. no way would yal be in 1st right now
if the defense gets more fired up by 1 qb over another I feel bad for those players. as a defensive player I would be fired up for myself and my defense mates.... This excuse is almost as funny those who say GOD wants him to win. If god is picking a football game over the famine in the world then thats a sorry state.....sorry if that offends anyone but its true if you think about it. And by the way, Lovie smith is highly religious why do that vs him, why would god pick certain players over others when all are very outward with what they believe?


defense gets more fired up...bwhahahahaha, if it takes tebow to get champ and dawkins fired up then maybe they need to look at themselves in the mirror and see why they are still playing. Think about that, they are only saying to back the current qb....thats all! They talked highly about orton when he was qb too.
