Win any ONE of those games and you guys can officially call it quits. What kind of a "winner" attitude is that?

Yes, I'm aware of the contradiction in me saying Tebow sucks and then turning around to hold him to a high standard. The point I'm trying to make is that he apparently "just wins games" when he has something to prove to people. Otherwise... oops, I guess.

That's the perplexing piece to all this, isn't it?

A lot of it is playcalling - again, I'm sure they had trust issues, both in TT and the offense as a whole. The Broncos WRs and TEs won't be confused with elite, only Royal had more than 2 seasons under his belt when TT took over.

Thomas and Decker were drafted with him... Thomas missed all of 2011 essentially, and none of those 3 was a legit #1. Thomas could be, but he didn't really come on until late.

The Bills game... that was just silly with the turnovers (3) and the defense didn't play all that great. KC ... they just flat out blew that one.
