Brady is going to go berserk tommorow -
Last pass he threw was that game-risking interception.

Bellicheck is going to have some weird looks on D - I figure Edelman for first interception tomorrow.

They will load the box, force Tebow to throw, and then play mind games. If you know the Pats - you know exactly what they are going to do.

As for this question - it is beyond silly. I love Tebow - and wanted to see him in Pats uniform with all the stupidity about him “not being able to play at this level” - he is a total Pats type player - but now - we may never get a chance - bu the question is completely ignorant, andd not fair to Tebow.

If Broncos dont sack Brady three times in first quarter - this game is over before half time.

Tomorrow - might be - one of the greatest offensive exhibitions in history. (Against a good defense).

You ignore a key reality.

Every team playing a run-oriented Academy team (Navy, Army, Air Force) knows how short those games are.

Those games click away fast. Army was like 1 for 3 passing vs. Navy in the Dec. 10 game.

It's 3, 4, 3 yards and a cloud of 'turf.

Ball control. Teams ALWAYS get less time "drive" time vs. those teams. Often 2...sometimes 3 less drives per HALF.

The Broncos this year aren't to that same degree as run-oriented; but some games it's been pretty close. Teams are getting about 3 less drives per game due to a Tebow-led run-game offense.

That alone accounts for about 10 points less per game vs. the Bronco defense.

The only way for what you describe to happen would be a fair # of Tebow turnovers. He had two last week -- one of those an interception. But that was his first pick he gave up in 6 games!

I know some people want Fox to "open it up" because Tebow runs the final drives of a game so well...but they need to stick to a ball-control offense...Brady won't be on the field as much...

And if that happens, the Pats won't reach 30 points.
