I’m tired of this crap. Chicago deserves to lose this game. ---

Game would be over right now Marion! ---

Debates about Tebow aside, he’s made some good TV. ---

> [@Gangster\_Octopus](#): > > What happened? Marion Barber ran out of bounds with a minute and a half while Denver had no time outs. Just about the dumbest possible thing you can do. Allowed Denver to get into fieldgoal range and tie the game. The Broncos are absolutely going to win this game. Chicago is impotent. ---

How the fuck does Tebow do this every week? Every week, he sucks until the fourth quarter. ---

Sure Prater kicked the 59 yard FG, but Tebow is the one who prayed it through the uprights. ---

Apparently, the Broncos can play only the fourth quarter. They spend the first three faffing off. Is it true that every Broncos win since Tebow started was a come-from-behind-in-the-fourth-quarter win? I seem to remember it being so. ---

I told you. He’s building a mystique. Let’s get an early start on the hating. If Denver wins, Tebow deserves no credit because he didn’t call the coin toss. ---

Any chance Marion Barber is cut tomorrow? ---

He, and the dicksucking hero-worship, annoy me somewhat, but that’s about it. But I don’t understand how if he’s able to play so well in the last 2 minutes of the game, why he can’t play that way during the rest of the game. ---

> [@Snarky\_Kong](#): > > Marion Barber ran out of bounds with a minute and a half while Denver had no time outs. The announcers are saying the Bears could have run out the clock. I don’t see it. Second down at the two minute warning. Forty seconds to the third down play. Forty seconds to the punt. Leaves Tebow maybe a half minute or so. ---

Forty seconds to the punt. Leaves Tebow maybe a half minute or so. Right. Barber handed Denver like 4 plays to get in range. ---
