NFL.com power rankings screen cap

Really?

Denver Broncos power rankings from around the web. Two in a row, baby. Through hell, high water, or 2-of-8 passing, the Broncos are relevant again… or are they? (Previous week’s ranking in parenthesis)

NFL.com: Not listed (25)
Tebow: 21st
Really, NFL? If you’re going to call the team Tebow, you might as well rename the league while you’re at it. Here’s how the Broncos fare in the Tebow Power Rankings elsewhere, folks.

ESPN: 19th (23)
We have to credit the Broncos for finding a way to win with Tim Tebow, even if it sets back the modern game. (Kuharsky)

FOX: 21st (21)
Tim Tebow’s passer rating of 102.6 on Sunday is exactly why that stat is useless. Yes, this is a guy that has thrown 7 TDs compared to just one interception, but face it, this is a running back playing the quarterback position. Tebow has faced one good team during his tenure as starter, and that ended as a 35-point loss to the Lions. This week against the Jets will be similar.

CBS: 25th (27)
Tim Tebow isn’t throwing a lot of passes, but their option game is working. Really?

National Football Post: 20th (24)
That offensive game plan vs. the Chiefs? Something you would see from a high school option team—but it worked.

Walter Football: 17th (23)

The Computers

USA Today Covers: 21st (22)
Power Ratings compute offensive and defensive statistics into one number for each team, while accounting for factors like recent performances and strength of schedule.

WhatIfSports: 29th (28)
WhatIfSports.com utilizes its football simulation to rank all 32 NFL teams. To come up with the rankings, each team plays every other team 10,000 times

Where would you rank the Broncos heading into Week 11?

    Remember when the super smart experts said the forward pass would destroy the purity of football and any team that used the pass was an idiot and a disgrace to the NFL…?  Anyone? 

    Yeah, I always listen and obey when the experts tell me what to do.

    I was pretty pissed when they changed the points for a touchdown from 4 to 5.

    Fox seemed the most accurate and analysis though I put the Jets in the maybe category.  Thomlinson would have been a non-factor anyway.

    The “Tebow” bit on NFL.com was just stupid. 

  • Just being honest…

    I don’t want to be a negative nancy but it feels like this is the high point of the season…

    I hope I am wrong.
