Tebowing For A Miracle

Tomorrow is the last regular season game for my beloved 2011 Denver Broncos.  Unlike some  previous years, it's been a lot of fun watching them.  Like almost all their games this season, it's coming right down to the wire and making me nervous.  

I hope that doesn't sound too negative.  I'm stoked!  It's been a while since I've been able to watch them win every game for a solid month and a half, as I watch Mr. Tebow pull magic or God out of his wristbands.  Other players like Bailey, Royal, McGahee, Decker, Dumervil, and Ball have all left good impressions on me as well.  I don't want to say all the games were exciting, but almost all contained at least a couple of cool things and kept you watching until the very end.  I'm very proud of first-year Head Coach, John Fox.  I like that the team has rallied around their first-time starter and let him play his kind of ball, to much success.  I have absolutely no idea what to expect in Denver tomorrow. 

I know Tim's predecessor, who found himself suddenly without a job as the calls for number 15 grew fierce, will be in town to square up against him.  You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that Kyle Orton would love to take Tim down a peg, deny the Broncos, and make some "Greenies" eat humble pie on their New Years.  That's some powerful motivation if you ask me.  Throw in the long-standing rivalry between these two teams and a chance to play spoiler, and this is my Superbowl.  I think we're going to play another close one and pull it out right at the end.  I'm still not looking forward to that 2nd quarter, though.

The Broncos are still rushing to clinch their division and earn their first playoff spot since '05-'06.  Unless they lose to the Chiefs as the Raiders beat the Chargers, they should be good.  Again, these are the Denver Broncos, so all bets are off.
