Tim Tebow leads comeback against the Dolphins
Broncos fans finally got their wish when the quarterback Orton was benched and Tim Tebow took to the field, and while he took some chances he definitely made some victories against the Miami Dolphins. With a final score of 18-15 the game was a shootout in every sense of the word, and with Denver missing two field goals there was certainly cause for alarm. Neither team was at the top of their game, but Tebow pulled out all the stops by running the ball at times when no one expected him to. Much like his predecessor John Elway, Tim Tebow is not against taking risks. Creativity and surprise plays have once again come into the Broncos’ game plan, and this is exciting for many fans who grew tired of the grind, and the subsequent losses. For better or worse the Broncos’ game plan has just become a lot more chaotic, and while this is fun to watch there might be some hiccups in the future. Taking risks and improvising is part of the game, but when you opt to do so for the sake of flair as opposed to victory there could be some serious trouble.
The Broncos are going to need to pull out all the stops to make this season a winner, and since bringing Tebow back into the game things will not get any easier. There is sure to be some real trouble for the team if Tebow cannot integrate himself in a big hurry, and this fact is not lost on anyone who watched the game against Miami. There needs to be a lot more effort to incorporate Tebow’s unique type of play into the game of this Broncos team, a team which is a lot more accustomed as of late to running a-typical plays. Fortunately for the team there are an … awful lot of versatile players on this team who are ready to do whatever it takes to make things work again. Mechanical plays have not worked for the Broncos at all this year, but creating an awesome running game to along with the passes being thrown is going to take a lot more work. And with a quarterback that looks an awful like a squirrel at times, the Broncos certainly have their work cut out for them.
They are definitely doing something right though, and the game against Miami has been seen as a bit of an upset by many fans. Still, with two missed field goals and a number of passes not hitting their mark (quite the opposite actually) the Broncos are going to need to step up their communication skills. This is a new team with a lot of volatility being brought to the table by Tebow, and this is something that everyone is going to have to get used to. This was a close game that shows just how certain the Broncos’ future will be this season, and everyone needs to remember that before their hopes grow too much. Still, Tebow is doing what he can.
