Broncos asking Fans for Support in Season Finale

The 2010 NFL season hasn't gone the way the Broncos--or their fans--have wanted it to, that is certain. But the team is aiming to finish the season 2-0 and get some good momentum heading into the 2011 season.

"To have back-to-back wins — and both at home, as well — would be great for us, just as far as our momentum and trying to carry that into the weight room and our training in the offseason," said Broncos starting Quarterback Tim Tebow." Also, I think it would be a great thing for the fans too — to show them that we were able to bounce back a little bit at the end and try to finish the season on a good note and try to get ready to hopefully have a good season next year."

To help them finish off the season on a positive note, the Broncos know they'll need the help of the fans.

"We are going to need everybody on this to finish the season, including the fans at INVESCO (Field at Mile High) who really helped us through the Houston game," said Broncos Interim Head Coach Eric Studesville on Wednesday. "We are going to need them back out again too, because we are going to need everybody to finish this thing the right way and in a positive way."

Around the Web: Lots of Love for Tebow and Lloyd

What's the moral of the above image? "Teams have to know the character of who they are dealing with," as says Mr. Lloyd himself.

Wide Receiver Brandon Lloyd is coming off a fantastic Pro Bowl season, and he has a special message for the teams that gave up on him earlier in his career.

Meanwhile, following his first NFL home start in which he threw for over 300 yards and scored twice, Broncos rookie quarterback Tim Tebow has been nominated for two NFL weekly awards.

It just so happens that Tebow was mic'd up for that comeback win, you can watch highlights of him wired for sound by clicking here. If you're hungry for more, you can go here for some other field and lockeroom video highlights of the game.

Rounding out our Tebow/Lloyd mania for the day, enjoy theses highlights of Lloyd's 2010 season:

Harris and Kuper Snubbed From the Pro Bowl

On Tuesday, the NFL announced the 2011 NFL Pro Bowl rosters for the AFC and NFC teams. The lone Bronco to have made the cut was wide receiver Brandon Lloyd, who's been having a fantastic season and is well deserving of the honor. However, after looking over the stats, at least two more Broncos were also deserving.

Left Tackle Ryan Harris has started 10 games this season, being penalised only twice and allowing 3.25 sacks. Miami's Right Tackle Jake Long started 15 games, being penalized 8 times and allowing 5.0 sacks. Of course one might say you can't draw comparisons of stats of two players that haven't started the same amount of games, and that's a logical conclusion seeing as Harris started five less games due to injury. Mathematically though, if Harris had started all 15 games, he would have allowed 4.88 sacks and that's still less than Long's total of 5.0 (if he had kept the same pace he's had this season). He's also hasn't been called for a holding penalty all season (a penalty that plagues offensive linemen), whereas Long has been penalised for holding 4 times in 2010. From those statistics, I'd conclude that Harris had just as good of a season of Long, and was at least worthy of being considered for a Pro Bowl induction.

Another comparison of offensive linemen, consider this; Bronco offensive guard Chris Kuper has started 14 games this season, being penalised 4 times while allowing 4.o sacks. Compare those numbers to those of New England's guard Logan Mankins who's started 8 games this season has allowed 3.5o sacks and has been penalised 3 times. At that pace, Mankins would have allowed 7 sacks this year had he played through the whole season. Clearly, this is a case of the name-player being chosen over the one who is truly deserving. Kuper was snubbed from making his first Pro Bowl appearance.

In my humble opinion, both Kuper and Harris (along with Champ--the best run supporting cornerback in the NFL--Bailey) deserved at least a lot of consideration for the Pro Bowl, and all three were snubbed.

Tim Tebow is re-writing the record books

On Sunday, the Denver Broncos found themselves down 0-17 at halftime, trailing the Houston Texans at home. It looked as if the Broncos were en route to losing a 6th straight game; rookie quarterback Tim Tebow would have none of that, however.

Re-energized by the play of the Tebow-led offense, the defense stepped up in the second half, holding the Texans offense to just 6 points (off two field goals) in the last 30 minutes, giving Tebow a chance to win the game.

Down by 17, the Broncos battled back until the score was 23-17 in the fourth quarter. With just over seven minutes left in the game, Tebow led the offense down the field and ran for a six yard touchdown, exhilarating the crowd. The extra point gave the Broncos a one point, 24-23 lead with a few minutes left in the game.

On the Texans following possession, Houston was driving before Brian Dawkins tipped a pass into the air, and rookie cornerback Syd'Quan Thompson intercepted it, giving the Broncos a victory following three QB-kneels by Tebow.

In the process of it all, Tebow broke several quarterback, rookie, and Bronco records. Including:

• The most passing yards in a game (308) by any Bronco quarterback making his first home start.

• The first rookie quarterback since the NFL merger to lead a 17 point comeback in his first home start.

• The most passing yards in a game by a rookie quarterback since John Elway in 1983.
  

• Tebow also averaged 19.3 yards per completion, which is the 2nd best yards-per-completion average in Bronco history for one game.

• Tebow has thrown for and rushed for a touchdown three times this season, tying him for third among all NFL quarterbacks in that regard, and Tebow is the only one of the three to have just two starts.

• Tebow also owns the 10th best yards-per-carry average (4.4) among all NFL rookies this season (minimum 24 carries), leads all rookie quarterbacks in rushing touchdowns (5) and yards (133), and is tied for second among all rookies this season for rushing touchdowns.
