yes, because of their defense and because they don't turn it over and can control the clock with rushing (as long as they get 1st downs).

and it is nonsense. there is a lot of warranted criticism (throwing motion, completion percentage), but that is not one of them. He's won 4 games on the road. That's difficult no matter who you play (again, except the Colts). This is the NFL, it's not like they are the LSU Tigers scheduling some D-1AA school. 6-1 is a great record for a starter, no matter what division, what league and what your schedule looks like.

Every single week, the critics say "Denver can't beat so and so".. and then they go win. GBBOB should be eating some crow, even if Denver loses out.

John Fox makes great game plans to focus on the teams strengths (andy reid.. take some fucl<ing notes). The teammates believe in one another and believe they will win. Coaching and leadership helps overcome some inabilities. Tebow is improving as a passer every week. against the Vikings, he was accurate and led his receivers to the right spots with his passes. he was 10-15, with two bad drops (one would have been a TD) and one pass was thrown out of bounds to avoid a sack. So out of 15 throws, only 2 were off target.

Great game plans? WOW. If anything he has butchered Tebow? Why are they trash for 3 quarters then unstopable late? If it has to be uptempo all game it should be. The coaching is bad in Denver right now.

??????

He changed the entire offensive playbook to fit Tebow! He coaches a top defense! If Denver makes the Playoffs then Fox is right up with with Harbaugh for Coach of the year, IMO.

Look at the one game he made Tebow a drop back passer (lions) and tell me again that Fox doesnt put together great game plans.

Im not a fan of Fox. It makes no sense to me that this guy can be unstopable late in games, and look so bad that people say he does not belong in the NFL early in games. Plus rumor is Fox and Elway dont want Tebow. They dont want him to do well, and they want to draft there QB. Might be to late for all that.

Elway might think that but I dont believe Fox does. You can tell by his quotes about Tebow. Bullshit Fox doesnt want him to do well, he's a head coach in the NFL, your job is always on the line (unless you coach the eagles).

I think they are better in the 2nd half because they are pretty much the only team in football that runs the Option offense. You have no idea how the opposing teams defense will gameplan for that offense. So, once you get an idea.. Fox makes good adjustments at halftime.

Once again the defense should get some credit for keeping them in these games where the offense isn't lighting it up.
