Thats too bad. It wasn't like he was the sole reason why they lost, plus his second attempt was blocked, maybe they should get rid of the lineman who didn't do their job of blocking.

yeah, agree... it sucks for the kicker that in cases like this, they often get death threats

So in the first season with Vince Young, did everyone applaud him when he made the playoffs and went like 7-1 to end the season?

You know nothing about football, you just only know how to jump on the bandwagon. I am NOT HATING on Tebow you idiot, learn to read. I actually gained tons of respect for him especially when he didn't say one word that gave him credit that game.

With your logic, my QB for the Texans is 3-0-- a actual ROOKIE QB 5th round draft pick. Tebow Time? TJ TIME BOY

Michael Vick is a good passer now, he just has no O-line.

One is hated because he decided to have a animal fighting ring at his house. Lawl

So it's cooler to be on the anti-bandwagon?

Texans are a much more talented team than the Broncos are. Sorry.

Vick is still an inaccurate passer. Always has been.

And Vick isn't the one who is more hated right now...

49ers are looking more and more like a one-and-done playoff team. Same story since week 1 - get inside the 5 yard line 3 times in the first quarter and come out with 9 points.

The game should've been over by halftime.....the offensive line looks like a turn-stile allowing 9 sacks to the Ravens and 6 sacks to the Cards.

That defense will keep them in the game with anyone, but they have to start scoring some TD's. Scary game coming up Sunday.

If the Cardinals had 6 sacks, I'm scared that the Steelers are going to reach double digit sacks!!!!

Yeah they struggle in the redzone but I still have hope they can improve on that.
Yeah the o-line worries the hell out of me. Cardinals were blitzing almost every play and they still pick it up.

And Vick isn't the one who is more hated right now...
Vince Young did not get as much credit Tebow was getting nor did he even get any credit because it always CJ's team and there D.

You see Texans team last year? Ranked 32nd in total defense to #1.

We lost our TOP players on offense and defense-- PRO BOWL players and doing it with a 3rd string QB with our PRO BOWL WR out. This has to do with the team stepping up and being a TEAM. Which is also what Tebow is doing to the Broncos. The difference between each one is that Tebow is a RB and TJ Yates is a QB. I will admit that Tebow did very good in passing on Sunday and I hope he continues so I can stop talking about him and praise him. I'm all for Tebow, but no one (but himself) is giving his D or McGahee or his whole team any credit. Everyone just thinks it is ALL Tebow.

Vick passing has increased tremendously since the days of the Falcons. He completed like 70%+ last season and this season.

QBs get an inordinate amount of credit when they win, an inordinate amount of blame when they lose. It's part of the world we live in. The shows I was watching, Young was getting the credit he deserved. Especially in particular the game he came off the bench.

As far as the Texans go, the offenses are in two different worlds. Two Pro Bowl RBs (potentially) make a world of difference. A good running game makes all the difference - ask John Elway. The defense is outstanding, thanks in large part to Wade Phillips. Assistant coach of the year.

As for Vick, it's easy to have a high completion percentage when a third of your pass plays involve screens to McCoy.

So, Brian Urlacher is now posting from Texas, come up with something original ...

Let see, Broncos weren't winning with Orton as QB, it's the same defense and McGahee, but you give Tebow no credit, for that.

AFA Vince Young, he is just another overrated Texas QB. He has a few years to prove himself, and that was proved as a fail.

The "Mile High Messiah" will not be stopped, now matter how much hate for his lifestyle is ...

TJ Yates, has played two games and you're giving him credit for the whole year.

Credit where credit was due. I will say that Timmy has the third best QB rating in the fourth quarter. It's still something to get your team in position to win a game.

Should he be doing this the first three quarters? Absolutely. But wins are wins.

I agree on the QB part. Same with pitchers and PGs in the MLB and NBA, respectively. I was watching ESPN.

Arian was hurt. McGahee is having a Pro Bowl season also. Yes our defense is outstanding all because of our acquisitions of Wade and Jonathan Joseph, but once again, look at our QB situation, our top defensive player, and our two best offensive players. The reason why we're still good is because people make something out of themselves. We have a pro coaching staff and I give them most of the credit.

I've said that forever.

Once again, you cannot read. I have given him credit, but does he deserve ALL the credit? NO.

The Tebow lovers fail to realize that his defense is keeping him in the game for the 3 quarters (or McGahee). The Tebow haters fail to realize Tebow is outstanding in the 4th quarter.

You must be a devoted, hard Christian.

And btw, no one ever said VY was any good, but he was good that year like Tebow will prob.

I'm not giving credit to him that much (TJ), but with knowledge of most Tebow fans at his 2nd win-- why not TJ?

Once I see Tebow play like he does in the 4th quarter in the other 3 quarters I will officially be on his bandwagon, but if not, good luck.

There actually are studies that prove a style of leadership that Tebow demonstrates is more effective than other approaches (yelling, demeaning, etc). I wonder if his consistant attitude of lifting his teammates up and consistantly praising them and not himself got these tangible results?

As stated, this team isn't too different than the one that started 1-5. When it gave up in previous games, it sees hope in these, and that leads to tangible results.

His teammates clearly believe, as demonstrated by Prater's comments last night and Von Miller's comments for the last two months. Willpower is an incredible asset.

Yes, Tebow is pretty decent I give him that but he didn't kick the winning field goals. Yes Tebow got them set up but this last game I give more credit to Prater, a 59 yard FG
