No chance. His winning streak is more down to Denver's defense than anything else - he's just plain awful to watch.

Didn't see us today (again), but caught the score driving back down to San Francisco and pleased we managed to get a win in what could have been a stumbling stone.
Fiery exchange between Bill O'Neill and Brady on the sidelines apparently, but it's high pressure time of the year, so not a shock that patience is wearing thin.
It's frustrating - I've been in the US since last Friday and both days there've been football, I've missed it due to one reason or another (symposium at Berekely last Sunday and coming back from a weekend in the Redwood Forest/Pacific Coast today)!
Huge "W" for the Giants, timeout called by Couglin to freeze the kicker was perfect! Division is ours to lose now :greengrin
The two most important attributes in a QB are a) the ability to take your teammates into battle for you (leadership) and b) the desire to get the win. Thats what Tebow seems to have. Throwing the prettiest spiral doesnt substitute for not winning , just ask Dan Marino. Jim Mcmahon threw an ugly ball but he won the superbowl ring that eluded Marino.
He's had 8 starts this season and yet no-one has worked anything out to stop him yet. Surely defensive co-ordinators must have enough material from college and NFL games to work on and work out how to stop him by now? I think the last two games have shown defences planning for Tebow and yet in both games he has come out and managed to get it done through passing and not running.
Tebow finishes with a W! :greengrin
That said, I can't see their winning run continuing against the Patriots. :thumbsup:
Great performance from Lynch and Seattle last night. Probably the leagues best back on form at the moment. Wild card still a possibility with a straightforward final 3 games.
My highlight of the week. :D

He doesnt have to throw a pretty spiral, he has to complete and he certainly cant from what I have seen of him.
Sure he can drive a team but I thought the bears coped with him quite well, if they had a better O then they would have won IMO.
Tebow has won how many games in OT? If he is so good, surely he would win games BEFORE having to settle for a field goal in OT.
Falcons trounce Jacksonville last night and take a step closer to securing their berths in the playoffs:
Jacksonville 14-41 Atlanta
Big weekend coming up - a win in Mile High secures us our 9th AFC East Championship in 11 years, which is an astonishing achievement. I recall how excited I was when we FINALLY won our first since I'd started following the Pats, way back in 2001!
Our record against Denver is abysmal though, so I can't say I'm 100% confident - I'm pretty sure we've only beaten the Bronco's twice in something ridiculous like 18 games since 1969 and I'm fairly confident that Brady has only beaten them once in 7?
If we fail to win, a Pittsburgh win vs Sexy Rexy's Jets will suffice :agree:
Aw well KC beat the Pack, to be honest the Defense has been bad all season and now that the Offense had a off day the D didnt step up.
I don't think it's a bad thing to be honest - I still expect Green Bay to feature in the Superbowl this year and losing now prevents the added pressures of "unbeaten" discussions.
We're about to get underway in Denver - hoping we can both end our appalling record against them and stop the Tebow Train, winning the AFC East in the process.
Indianapolis finally get a win - how bad must Tennessee be!!!
This is proving to be a shootout thus far, with Denver leading 13-7, with all 3 drives resulting in a TD thus far, though Denver missed their extra point attempt on their opening drive.
We're getting owned by both the rush AND the pass, with several tackles being high!!!
Tebow driving the Broncos well thus far :agree:
I fear a long night ahead.
Our defense is easily one of the worst I've ever seen in the NFL :agree:
Wow - 248 yards total offensive yards for the Broncos in the 1st QUARTER!
I fail to understand how our coaching staff have failed to address our defense all bloody season.
If we finally tie up our berth, I can't confess that I'm overly looking forward to the post-season.
Packers lose to the Chiefs and Colts beat the Titans :greengrin oh and Tebow has showed up early in the game v the pats , what a strange day so far :dizzy:
It's a cracking game to watch though, I think new Orleans are a good super bowl shout, drew brees is hitting top form
We can score on every drive for the remainder of this game, but unless we sort out the other side of the field, we'll lose.

And just like that!
Boom! Well done Don!
Can't believe BB never challenged that call - conceivably looked like a good catch to me!
Nevertheless, NE 17-16 Denver.
2nd turnover in 2 possessions from Denver - cheers Timmy boy! :thumbsup:
