Regardless of whether or not they win another game in the playoffs this year, Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos secured a place in the records book tonight with the first ever win in post season NON sudden death overtime. It was done in typical Tebow fashion. Denver won the coin toss and elected to receive. They started at their own twenty. Tebow throws over the middle and it is run down the field for an 80 yard touchdown which instantly won the game.
The new overtime rule says that a single field goal cannot instantly the game in overtime. If the first team with possesion scores a field goal then the other team must get a possession in order to allow an attempt to tie or win the game. The exceptions to this are: any defensive score would instantly win the game and any touchdown would instantly win the game.
The Broncos stunned the Steelers with a one play touchdown win.
I honestly do not believe the Broncos will advance another game but this win at home was pretty amazing.

As I said in another thread, Ike Taylor (#24) was faked out of his jock all day
Because I live in Steeler country, it would have been nice for a Steeler win.
But I do get satisfaction for Tebow

Sorry, I should have checked for your thread first.

Good, I thought I heard a couple of talking heads "heads" go "pop" before the stadium scoreboard had a chance to post the points on that OT score!
::whoohoo::
That was the game of the week baby!
-
I have no affinity for the Broncos, but I want Tebow and the Broncs to do well, just to shut the naysayers up. I want all the Christophobes who have rallied around hatred of his prayers and love for Jesus to eat crow. That's probably my human pride and not the Holy Spirit talking.
-
And the smartest of the J-Tards, as employed by the Associated Press, declard Tebow's career over. Are you telling me it didn't happen the way a Journolister said it would?
Seriously, I saw the score towards the end of the 4th and actually turned on this game...first of the year for me.
::cool::
And what drives the leftist garbage totally bonkers...Tebow walks the walk.

When they were up 7-6 I thought for sure John Fox would put his defense in Prevent and try to sit on that big 1 point lead. That was his MO in Carolina anyway.
-
3:13 ::thinking:: yards. Not a bad performance.
-
Actually it was 316 yards.
Not just that but 31.6 yards per pass average.
(as in John 3:16)

You know, I came here earlier to post exactly that, based on the headline and story at theblaze... But when I went to the nfl.com website they had linked, it was 316 passing yards, 15 yds/pass average. I'm not sure where they're coming up with that 31.6 yards/pass average. Am I looking at the wrong stat, or did they mess up?
-
IDP, I think he had 10 completions which would make the average/complerion 31.6
Not average/pass
-

Ah, yes, of course...
10/21 passing attempts, 316 yards, 15 yards average/pass, 31.6 yards average/completion.
That stat will only add to the Christophobic hate-mongering mania surrounding this young man.

What a thing to miskey... ::unknowncomic::
No, I'm not a leftist so I won't try to sneak in a correction. I'll take my medicine like a man. ::rockets::
-
Yeah, that was per completion. My mistake.

In all sincerity, I don't believe God cares who wins a football game. I do believe God cares how you conduct your life....and that includes on your job. Tim Tebow, from what I can tell, is a good example in the workplace...His workplace happens to be viewed by millions each week.
All the naysayers can whine all they want......What this 2nd year pro does as well as anybody is instill confidence. He isn't the best QB, isn't the best player but he IS a leader and people follow leaders. People give maximum effort for leaders.
Too bad our lilly livered politicans can't understand what the American people will follow....if they lead.

I heard the game also earned a 31.6 share for the telecast.

I heard the game also earned a 31.6 share for the telecast.
...And the Steelers time of possession? 31 minutes, 6 seconds. (http://postbulletin.com/news/stories/display.php?id=1481639)
Do we think someone is trying to say something here?
316 yards. 31.6 yards/completion. 31.6 market share. 31:06 ToP.
It bears repeating:
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

The Christophobes have only begun to go nuts. I wouldn't mind seeing Denver keep knocking teams off...some of the haters might actually be close to keeling over.
That's a win-win my book.
;D

I'm wondering what Terrell Suggs - "We don't need God on our sidelines" - is thinking today.

He's thinking that people making something out of a set of statistical coincidences are stupid and superstitious.
...or...
He's thinking, WTF? How can this be?
I never discount the ability of Jesus Christ to get someone's attention in some pretty fantastic ways. But I also don't count on people acknowledging what seems apparent when it comes to God.
I don't know whether God has a hand in this or not. But I acknowledge that He is God, and He can do anything. Why not this?

Terrell suggs was tebowed........ And Suggs might not believe they need god on the sidelines, but that team sure needs more speed in their defensive secondary.

I don't care what Terrell is thinking. I'm thinking that telephone is ringing real loud
and there's a big Messenger calling.

I happen to be estactic in the success that has found Tim Tebow. To me it is refreshing to see a young man so on fire for the Lord. However, each Born Again Christian, express his/her faith differently on or off the field. For instance, Arron Rodgers who is a Born Again Believer says; “I like the saying from St. Francis of Assisi, ‘Preach the gospel at all times, if necessary use words.’ I try to live my life in a way that reflects my faith in the Lord,” Rodgers says. “I don’t like to get in peoples’ faces. The best way for me is: Let your actions talk about your beliefs, start a relationship with others, then finally there is a chance for questions.”
Drew Brees another Born Again Believer has his own way of expressing his faith. One way is through his the Lords Drew Brees foundation.
Saints QB Drew Brees talks about Jesus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJR5ig26RTA#)
Troy Polamalu expresses his Born Again Beliefs in other ways.
The Christian Faith of Troy Polamalu - CBN.com (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR3qmItstEU#)
When I post I try to bring the Lord and/or my Messianic (Christian) Beliefs into the conversation whenever possible. And realize to some that may be very annoying. But the Bible says in 2 Timothy 4:2: “To proclaim the message. Be ready to do this whether or not the time is convenient. Refute, warn, and encourage with the utmost patience when you teach.”
To Praise and worship our God and to win others though the power of the Holy Spirit to a life saving relationship with the Lord Jesus is what we Believers play the game of life for.

Amen! ::praying::

Good post Magnum. The videos highlight what I've been saying in every conversation I've had for the past several weeks about Tim Tebow and the vitriol against him. NFL players and sports figures in general have been overtly demonstrating and proclaiming their faith in Jesus Christ since I can remember. It is nothing new, and has never been a subject worthy of public derision or attempts to ridicule or tear down the individuals.
So why Tim Tebow? He is no more overt in his faith than the players that spring into my mind without even thinking... (Reggie White, Cris Carter, Tony Dungee....)
Boxers kneel in their corner and do the sign of the cross. Players kiss their various Catholic medallions. Teams bow their heads and pray before a game. Team captains and coaches lead those prayers. And players and coaches since I can remember have given glory to God, and praise to Jesus Christ.
Entertainers who peddle sin throw the name of God around casually and without meaning. The Left does not wail and gnash its teeth at them. Madonna can thank God, but Tim Tebow cannot?
I think the Left has singled out Tebow because he walks the walk, and believes the Word. He is a good young man, and it is obvious that his upright behavior is a result of his faith in Jesus. But the skinny on him is that he does not possess the skills to play in the NFL, and so they see an eventual target. They ridicule his faith, and wait on pins and needles for his inevitable fall from grace in the NFL. Even though he walks with no pride, no braggadocio, in utmost humility - even though he gives all credit to Jesus and his teammates and coaches, and never assumes any credit for himself - the media ridicules his faith so that when the day comes that he does not perform, they can say that Jesus let him down.
Like Bill Maher said when the Bronco's winning streak ended, "Jesus really f...ed Tebow." That's what they desire, and that's what they are working for with their hatred now. They want to make a big deal out of Tebow's faith through ridicule, so that when he loses, they can say Jesus let him down.

And now Charles Barkley says, "The national nightmare continues." He really should by psychoanalyzed. How is winning a great game and having millions celebrating the win a "national nightmare"?! Is this really what a sports figure should be calling a nightmare? Celebrations of sports victories?
I think the American people are exruciatingly desperate for a hero, and that is why Tim Tebow is as popular as he is. The left must destroy heroism in order to successfully destroy our American culture. It must also destroy the Judeo-Christian faith. That is why they really, really must destroy Tim Tebow and end the "national nightmare."
