The Denver Broncos season ended last night at the hands of the New England Patriots. I'm convinced Patriots coach Bill Belichick is evil, by the way. I mean, who would put up 45 points on Tim Tebow, other than someone who is evil? But that's a story for another blog.
The Broncos never showed up last night...and lost 45-10. It was one of their worst games of the season at the wrong time. Tim Tebow was chased all night by the Patriots defense and really struggled. The Denver defense, meanwhile, fell apart. They were never able to get a pass rush on Patriots QB Tom Brady and he destroyed them. I am so sick of QBs like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning standing back there having all day to throw the ball against the Broncos defense...again a story for another blog.
What I'm wondering is will there be a sequel of Tebowmania next season? Obviously, Tim Tebow needs to improve. He needs to become a better passer...he completed about 45% of his passes this year which is awful by any standard. But, he brings an element other QBs don't, so if he improves as a passer he will be really tough for opposing defenses.
The Broncos can get him some help too. They need to get him a big, pass catching, tight end. They need to get depth at running back, because starter Willis McGahee is 30, and that's ancient for a running back. They need to bolster their defensive middle so they can get pressure on quarterbacks like Tom Brady. Finally, they really need to spend the offseason coaching Tebow on the finer points of quarterbacking.
I'm excited, despite last night's loss, because I don't think the Broncos are that far from being a top flight team. For the rest of this season...go Packers or whoever is playing the Patriots.
