Tebow lives by John 3:16. Tebow today threw for 316 yards. Hmmmmm. ---

The Broncos as a TEAM deserve this credit. One guy in the are I was at kept yelling “TEBOW” when Denver’s defense was out there. I’m glad they won. Deserved victory. ---

I don’t know if it’s Tebow, or the Defense, or the Hand of God (I’m pretty sure Maradona is done with it)…but you certainly can’t argue with success, can you? ---

When the team scores about the same number of points per game as before Tebow but starts giving up far fewer points, you can. ---

> [@Suburban\_Plankton](#): > > I don’t know if it’s Tebow, or the Defense, or the Hand of God (I’m pretty sure Maradona is done with it)…but you certainly can’t argue with success, can you? They are a 9-8 team and have to play New England at home. A playoff win is nice but success is premature. Pittsburgh was hobbled by injuries and wasn’t going all the way to the Super Bowl. ---

I think God hates Pittsburgh right now – first the Pens with their injuries, now the Steelers being beaten by the fucking Broncos. Why, oh why have you forsaken us, oh Sports Gods? ---

> [@IAmNotSpartacus](#): > > Pittsburgh was hobbled by injuries and wasn’t going all the way to the Super Bowl. Every team has been playing for 4 months now and has injuries, Broncos included. Overcoming that is as much the job of the team management as it is just luck. At this point in the season, credit for ANY win belongs with management IMHO, for putting together a viable starting team and having reliable backup. Nevertheless…Timmy just doesn’t get picked off that often and he threw some seriously monster passes against Pit. I like watching him play. ---

Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for Tim Tebow to complete a pass at all. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tebow/608875.md?page=2)
