We've been over this...there's no such thing as a lucky 6 game winning streak, especially in the NFL.
I understand you're bitter that the Broncos will likely make the playoffs and your team flatout sucks, but that doesn't mean the Broncos have no talent.
I remember fanboy singing the same song a couple years back when they started with six straight wins. McDaniels was the bestest coach ever, Orton was going to lead them to the playoffs, woof, woof, woof. I tried to warn him that McD seemed to make really dumbassed decisions based on his ego rather than what's best for his football team but fanboy's faith was unshakeable even after they suspended Marshall and the season began circling down the toilet. I'll give him credit for recognizing McDaniels needed to be fired, though.
What's interesting about this season is he -- like many Broncos fans -- have invested a lot more in Tebow so the biggest question is who gets throws under the bus when the Broncos fail. Based on his past posts, my bet is the narrative constructed will be its Fox's overly conservative playcalling that earns fanboy's wrath for "holding back" Timmy along with the line/RBs/receivers not doing their job. That and Andre Goodman sucking, obviously. The irony is Fox has improved the defence exponentially and re-made the offence to capitalize on Tebow's strengths and minimize his weaknesses.
Over the long term, Tebow's body won't hold up to the punishment he is exposed to by running the option and his own bravery in taking on defenders. That's why most offensive coordinators don't use it in the NFL. It will substantially shorten a quarterback's career and plays havoc with your playbook if the backup doesn't possess the same skill set as your starter.
