Tebow is a leader. The teammates believe in him and his leadership. He gets slammed in the media because of his stance on abortion, etc. All hes done is help the Broncos to an 8-5 record. Go Tim Go.

The Broncs will have to play much better to beat the Patriots next week. Dropped passes were killing the Broncs until just the last few minutes.

Reason why Tim Tebow keeps winning... HE DOES NOT TURN THE BALL OVER.
Since Tebow was named the starter, there are 17 quarterbacks with more touchdowns than interceptions (min. 100 att.). And only five of those have a better TD-INT differential than Tebow.
Here is the full list...

"Marion Barber choked, twice." Wasn't he mocking Tebow earlier in the week?

Broncos D and Tebow leadership is getting this done. Tebow says God doesn’t care who wins a football game. Tebow is an outstanding Christian soldier. These articles and some posters around here are redicous.

It’s neither insane luck, nor divine intervention.
Tim Tebow has a lot of unique qualities, and obviously his team mates have bought in. A team with a will, and the right leader can do amazing things. Tebow is not lucky, he’s good, and he’s the right man in the right place, at the right time.
I don’t believe God cares who wins a football game.
And I’m enjoying this.
As a side note, it makes me sad that a religious man gets so much attention, mostly because he is so devout. In today’s America, it’s like he’s a freak. In the America I grew up in, he would have been just another athlete.

I think that it's fantastic to have a sports professional that kids can look up to, rather than one who's one step removed from probation.
That being said, I don't particularly like Tebow's QB'ing. In my head, a QB stands in the pocket and throws the ball. But what the heck, he knows how to win.
Ugly wins, but they're still wins. Kudos really should go to John Fox for recognizing what he's got and adapting his game plan appropriately. Denver fans better get used to a lot of Defense and 10-7 or 16-10 scores.

But let's not kid ourselves Tebow and the Broncos got insanely lucky yesterday. Gary Player always said, the more I practice the luckier I get. Tebow and the Broncos put themselves in position to be lucky and they have certainly had enough practice at it this season.
Tebow led a great fourth quarter 80 yard touchdown drive with seven straight complete passes. If he were a felon dog killer, that's all they'd be talking about.

The writer seems worried someone might credit The Almighty with a win.

Is Marion Barber proving there’s a reason the Cowboys were willing to get rid of him lucky, divine intervention, or expected?

All Barber had to do was go down inbounds. The Broncos capitalized twice.

Agreed. I wonder though. Do all these pundits think that it was divine intervention when the Patriots were having all those insanely lucky wins on their way to three Super Bowls? I didn't hear the phrase ONCE back then.
Marion Barber didn't drop the ball. He got it stripped from his grasp. That's what winning teams do. But, it's Tebow and he's a Christian...and proudly so...so they just have to slam him and snicker. Couldn't possibly be that he is a kid that has no 'quit' in him or that it rubs off on his teammates. Nah.

Every quarterback that has faced the Pats this year has had a career day against the their woeful secondary. Look for Tebow to have his most productive game of the year so far. Pats as usual will have to score 30+ points to win

As an avid, rabid Alabama fan, there is no other sports figure I detested more in 2008 than Tim Tebow. The recent attacks on his faith have now turned me into a Tebow supporter and I wish him every success.

No loss to the Cowboys when they let him go.

Probably neither. It was the result of hard work and a believing attitude to always perform to ones' highest ability.
Eventually, there will be loses but this victory was stunning.
Tebow's humility in praising the rest of the team shows his true leadership.
