Obviously the Lions are the only team to figure out all you have to do is outscore the tebows. Cannot wait til they play a good team in the playoffs. (tebows). ---

It’s strange Tebow and Company lost to the worst team they have played. ---

Once again, Tebow and Co. offense sucks for 3 quarters and 12 minutes. Once again, Tebow and Co. tie it up in the last 3 minutes. Once again, Tebow and Co. win in OT. Amazing. ---

Actually, God hates players who run out of bounds when the other team has no time outs. ---

Apparently Lindsey Vonn had to pull out the “we’re just good friends” line to explain why she was invited to watch the last Broncos game with the Tebow family in their luxury box. If Tebow is dating her (do a Google Image Search, you’ll be pleasantly surprised) there can be no doubt that God has cast His favor on Tebow. ---

Vonn is dating Tebow, all right… Robby Tebow, Tim’s brother. ---

Basically, Denver has a smart coach. John Fox has been dealt a hand and he’s playing it to win, instead of using standard strategies. The fact he’s doing something different is confusing defenses. [Gregg Easterbrook](http://espn.go.com/espn/page2/story/_/id/7346102/tim-tebow-entertaining-football-tactics-heart-denver-success) has shown that the wins aren’t due to divine intervention, but rather due to Denver’s strategy, which wears down teams so their defenses have little left in the 4th quarter. Tebow is also a good player with a skill set that’s different from the average NFL QB; Fox uses that to tire out defenses. ---

> [@markdash](#): > > Vonn is dating Tebow, all right… Robby Tebow, Tim’s brother. Wow, that’s a shocking twist to [this article](http://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/story/2011-12-12/lindsey-vonn-tim-tebow/51833516/1), then. Dunno why Vonn couldn’t have just come out and said that, but _shrug_. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/does-god-love-tebow/605860.md?page=2)
