- Tim Tebow’s Magical Ride. The 2011 season for the Denver Broncos is one of the craziest, most improbable seasons of NFL football to date. Tim Tebow led magical comebacks against the Jets, Dolphins, Chargers, & Bears culminating in an incredible overtime win against the Steelers in the Wild Card round. This is the story of Tim Tebow’s NFL career.

Tim Tebow had all the leadership qualities of a Ray Lewis, with all the throwing ability of a Ray Lewis
Tebow's problem wasn't with talent or leadership. His teammates loved him and he more than proved he was talented. The problem was that he was so different than the archetypal QB of that era that nobody knew how to use him. Had he been paired up with a Bruce Arians or Andy Reid, he would have had a much longer career. I'm not saying he would have been a Pat Mahomes, but he would have definitely seen a fair bit of success.
He's White Jesus' favorite QB.... if skygods were real.
😂😂
@Skunk Ape Completing less than 50% of one's passes is a talent problem. Doesn't mean better coaching couldn't have helped him some, but there was more to it than just "nobody knew how to use him". Tebow struggled as a passer way beyond any coaching problems.
@@ryanevans371 because he wasn't a pure passer. You're literally proving my point.
Hasn't started a game in more than a decade and is still more famous than half the QBs that played last year. What a legend
Because white evangelicals are obsessed with him.
You could say that about a lot of old quarterbacks
And yet he was still a massive bust.
i dont think thats true. but alright.
He won a playoff game. He isn’t a bust. Under performer more like.
One of the most fun seasons ever
Still the best non-Super Bowl winning season.
No doubt.
💯
Agree
Yes it was. I was shattered when the Patriots brought me back to reality 🤣😢😭
“Orton hears a boo” is one of the greatest game signs I’ve ever seen
😂
RIP to one of my favorite Broncos ever, DT
Pulled off one of the Broncos’ most unforgettable plays
As a Bengals fan I loved it
I was a steelers fan at this game. Broke my heart. I bleed black and gold but cried when DT died.
dt was so sick
@@robdavis4951 much respect ✊🏼
As a lifelong Steelers fan I’m still a fan of excellent talent & coaching in the entire NFL. Was an Elway fan since his first start, which was against the Steelers in 1983 just like I’m a fan today of Mahomes & Bengals QB Burrow. DT made our best look like fools on that play & I admired him for it. His death was sad & shocking.
My Steelers won’t be contending for anything for while but they’ve acted arrogantly at times over the last decade so they had it coming. Besides it’s good for the NFL when other teams, like the Bengals & Bills work their way to excellence & reward loyal fans with great seasons & hopefully Lombardi trophies.
Good luck this season. IMHO Wilson has plenty left in the tank.
I remember being in middle school during Tebowmania. Still can’t believe Tim Tebow’s best season in the NFL was over a decade ago.
Yessir we getting old! Always took so much shit for being a broncos fan, despite growing up in salt lake when they were our closest team. Living in Kansas is even worse haha
Yea it goes faster as you go older so hold on tight. There’s a great NFL films video called “The Book of Tebow” where other great players w/some of his qualities discussed Tebow. I wish that Tebow had been willing to fix his mechanics so that he could’ve played for over a decade because he was fun to watch.
@@r.williamcomm7693 no doubt it was a blast to watch. Not that Tebow was the only example of a great human being in the nfl. He sure got a huge spotlight though. I’m learning that the years don’t take as long as they used to…
Yeah I was in 6th grade during this season. So many crazy comebacks that Tebow pulled off that year, including one against my Dolphins unfortunately.
@@guywholikescheese97 I still remember John Elway having the worst luck in his first three Super Bowls. The first was in his 4th year after he showed the world the full range of his talent in “the Drive” vs the Cleveland Browns. My college roommate was a Browns fan & died a thousand deaths as Elway ran, passed & impressed everyone. Then at the Super Bowl he faced the 1986 Giants with Lawrence Taylor, a rare yeR where a defensive player was league MVP. Brutal, nasty defense but Elway flashed greatness. Dan Reeves coached like his mentor Tom Landry. Didn’t really change anything for the Super Bowl. The Giants were just so good.
Then the 1987 Redskins were another complete team with Joe Gibbs doing things like using a barely used RB to gash the Broncos defense.
Finally the 1989 49ers were like a super team. They wanted to win that 4th Super Bowl without Bill Walsh who retired the year before. That offense was a juggernaut with Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, John Taylor & Roger Craig at RB should be in the Hall of Fame. They destroyed the Broncos with so many touchdowns. All three defenses focused on getting to Elway & Dan Reeves coaching didn’t seem to adjust.
Poor Elway finally got 2 rings his last 2 years by Head Coach Mike as Shanahan running the same type of offense that his son Kyle runs as 49ers head coach & doesn’t require a lot from the QB.
Knowing all that, imagine Elway sitting in the GM suite watching Tebow complete less than 10 passes & still beating the Steelers who went to the Super Bowl the previous season!! He was thinking of all he went through & how great he had to play to win playoff games & there’s Tebow with crazy throwing mechanics & unable to complete most passes playing so badly that the Steelers dared Tebow to beat them with his arm. And God smiled while Tebow did his crazy wind up motion & horrible footwork where he never set his feet & tossed a perfect strike to win the game. Elway was sick to his stomach. lol 😂. Tebow is truly a great human being but man, if he had been willing to make the changes in mechanics & footwork I believe that he would still be a starting QB today. 😀
Tim Tebow literally just gave a motivational talk at a seminar I was at on Friday. What great timing!
I remember watching some of those games when I was younger. I never gave up hope when Denver was losing cause I knew Tebow was on our side!
I am a Gators fan and this was by far the most fun NFL season for me.
Love Tim Tebow. That Broncos season was the most fun I'd ever had as a fan. Pure magic. DT god rest his soul.
As a Cowboys fan I loved it and will never forget game after game unprobable wins
I live in Europe and my Uncle introduced to to American Football. he got me a Tebow jersey saying that he might be the next prodigy. So I wore that jersey every Sunday, staying up till sometimes 5 am in the morning (Due to Thursday, Sunday & Monday night Football) To rep the Broncos. That season was truly magic, I'll never forget that season!
I really enjoyed that episode! You should do a simular episode about manning or the 2015 season.
he did do one about the 2015 season, its one of his older ones i think but its pretty good
Pretty fun first few seasons for you as a fan! You got a little lucky Tebow was on a decent franchise like the Broncos, if he had been drafted by a team like the Browns you probably would have given up on American football pretty quick haha
@@extragoogleaccount6061
Hell no 😂
Forgot to mention that my uncle is a Denver Bronco Fan and have been since he came to Colorado in the 80's. The great hospitality from the people at the tailgate at Mile High made him a lifelong fan. This story also had an impact on me becoming a fan!
Positivity in the comments on CZcams!!!!! I’m reporting this lol 😂😂😂😂
Do you enjoy the real football?
That kickoff by Prater off the crossbar that landed on the 20 was insane! 😂😂
"That's how you get a touch back in the NFL"
Should've released it at 3:16
Thief
It's 3:16 somewhere
goddammit Tom you creative genius
I Still Rock My Tebow Jersey.... Tebow Was My 1st Real Taste of Happiness as a Broncos Fan
Me too!
Your joking right
@@metzgerov you know people don't know what the first 2 Superbowl wins were like cause they weren't alive right?
@platapus112 Very True... i become a Broncos fan when Brian Griese was the qb 🙄
@@metzgerovYou're*
Tebowmania!!! It was always funny how he got all the media attention and then in the same breath NFL analysts would say he's not a long term quarterback.
I think that's because he was an enigma. He was obviously not a good thrower of the football, but somehow found a way to win week after week and then having a walk off touchdown pass in a playoff game? Shit was crazy. He was talked about so much for that reason. Somehow the worst QB in the league was having the most success.
I don't get why that's funny.
but he wasn't. As Perna stated, that 2011 season was a TON of luck. Lots of things broke the Broncos way and Tebow n the broncos were VERY lucky to not only be on the receiving end but to also be in a division that was won by an 8-8 team.
And as Perna stated, that kind of play just isn't sustainable. Eventually, you have to stop relying on luck (like opposing RBs running out of bounds for no reason and stopping the clock... Yes Marion Barber, I'm looking at you) to be successful.
IMO, Tebow is VERY lucky that his career stopped there. Cause had he been given the reins to another team, its likely his flaws come through and he goes from "A qb who won a playoff game but was never given a chance" to "Yea, he won a playoff game. But then he did absolutely nothing after that and became an afterthought".
But that's the problem. We believe that luck was somehow sustainable for Tebow. Sometimes a teams energy is a psychological victory. Tebow seemed to have that energy. Should have played him next year and the go 9-7 or better. His energy was never ending. Many guys have that energy. Prob 8 guys on the field at all times at have energy, intensity , and stamina like they've rarely ever seen. But Tebow was contagious. It was an intangible most don't have.
@@FlipsyFiona what he did wasn't "luck" you don't get lucky that many times, luck is very random not consistent, Tebow was consistent with heart & determination
"Tebow is Elway without any of the arm talent." Tebow's entire career can be summed up in that one statement - perfect. I was a Tebow fan; that dude could not throw the football, but he found a way to win the game. I'll take a game winner over a ball thrower. My Broncos have had ball throwers on the field since 2016 and we can't win shit.
Thanks DT.
Tebow was an excellent deep ball thrower, but had UGLY short passes. The one where he overthrows Knowshawn Moreno that is 4 yards ahead of him by more than 1 yard was the worst, but TT lead the league in passes over 20 yards, and TT/DT were the leading receiver/QB pair in December 2011 and January 2012.
I don't think John Fox was a good HC for Tebow's development. He looked better under Studesville!
@@jenspetersen5865 Yeah Tebow averaged like 18 yards per completion. Shit was truly unreal.
I remember that year quite well as a broncos fan. The emotions were WILD. I remember sitting in an army motor pool listening to the games on the radio saying “we are going to lose” every fucking weekend. Only to somehow pull it out. For the playoff game I was at a huge bar downtown and the place erupted like nothing I’ve ever seen (including winning the Super Bowl a few years later) with people throwing food and beers in the air on that pass to DT88 (rip). I just sat there bewildered. Jaw on the floor.
It was literally a magical season. Thanks to Timmy Tebow.
I lived in northern Florida during Tim Tebow’s college years. It was insane just how much people loved him and how good he was. I know people give him grief about his play style and religion and whatever else, but I have a soft spot for the guy and I like seeing him succeed. Also, as far as sports role models go, you could do a hell of a lot worse than following Tebow’s example in life.
I loved the fact that it seemed like he could literally will the team to win despite his issues with throwing (lifted too many weights and got too buff to have any snap on his throws imo). It was magical in a way, like a children's story where if you truly believe in something you can make anything happen..mind over matter type thing.
No one was giving him grief over his religion, stop that lie.
@@ShadowBox112we were making fun of, he was praying to god…but God thought football wasn’t for him
I live in the area too. The games were insane and so much fun to watch. Incredible competitor. Go Gators! Also, the media did mock him all the time because of the religion stuff. He was also mocked relentlessly because he was a virgin. Glad he is still working and chasing his dreams. I hope one day he can work with the Florida Gators in some capacity.
@@ShadowBox112he’s not lying. I didn’t like him because he was annoying with his religion.
I was living in Aurora, Co in 2011. When the 4th quarter started, the entire city stopped and watched. Everything was upside down! We won games we should've lost and we lost games we should have won. It was a hell of a ride. In spite of what the sports media establishment told you a LOT of people were sad to see Tebow get traded and Peyton Manning was brought in at QB. It was believed that Gaaawd himself was angry. ESPECIALLY, how we got eviscerated in the SUPER BOWL!
But, what is past is prologue and have no fear Russell Wilson (QB who destroyed us in that Super Bowl) and we are living 2011 all over again!
This is the first video to ever truly capture what a fun year this was to watch as a Bronco fan. I've never watched a 23 minute video on CZcams from start to finish...but this one could have been 3 times longer and I'd have watched.
It was my favorite NFL season of all time, from purely an entertainment perspective. It felt supernatural. It made you believe in the spirit of the underdog. Every sports talk show was talking about the crazy win streak and “Tebow Time” late in the 4th quarter. Each week, we thought the fun would come to an end, and every time Tebow became the best QB on the planet for 5 minutes at the end of the game 😂… epic.
It was very special - much more exciting than the Manning years.
Tebow was an amazing combo of the guy that can overthrow Knowshawn by 2 yards on a 3 yard pass, and then at the same time leading the NFL in 20+ yard completions.
He was special, and he could have been stellar if the short game could have become mediocre
2011 was awesome. I'm a 49ers fan, so that season was very special (and heartbreaking for me as well). When I wasn't watching the Niners, I was glued to Tebowmania haha.
I'm a Giants fan and I concur. The 2011 season was the bee's knees.
@@chidorisnake22ehh as a niner fan I wouldn’t even be mad at y’all since the pats lost to the giants which makes me a win/lose situation for me
Kyle williams worst 49er ever
2011 was one of the best NFL seasons in general. So many fun teams and legendary moments
The thing is, it's not Tebows fault that everybody started making such a big deal about him. To this day he still seems to be one of the most genuine professional athletes ever.
88 from Georgia Tech was a true gem, I can’t emphasize enough how much of a class act that kid was. We lost a remarkable human being two Decembers ago.
Balls deep episodes are the most fun you can have on CZcams! This one was so good it almost (ALLLLMOST) made me break out my Tebow jersey to wear around in public and feel good about my team again. Thanks, as always, for the genuinely good content Perna!
See you tomorrow Steve!
Ah, Tebow...the QB who enlightened me to the idea that college success doesn't necessarily translate to the pro game.
The countless Heisman winning QBs to completely bomb in the NFL prior to Tebow didn't clue you in?
@DaneOrschlovsky I was only 18 when Tebow went to the NFL; I hadn't even heard names like Couch until after. JaMarcus Russell HAD been a warning sign, but I think everyone can agree that was more of an effort issue than actual talent.
And remember that ultimately, hindsight is 20/20. Who thought a rando with only two years at Cal and a Holiday Bowl loss would become one of the best Quarterbacks of our generation?
@@X525Crossfire solid points I didn't consider before commenting. Though I'm not too much older than you, I still remember there being amazing QBs from Nebraska, Ohio State, Miami, Florida (Spurrier years) FSU, etc, who were fantastic in their systems but were propped up by spectacular surrounding talent and coaching.
Fr
For me it was Ken Dorsey at Miami.
“When Josh McDaniels was fired partway through the season for being Josh McDaniels” had me rolling 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As I recall he was already on his way out but the reason they fired him mid-season rather than waiting was because he brought Spygate to Denver lol
And it happened again!!! This aged like a fine wine
Was a freshman is college when this all went down. So freaking memorable
As a Raider fan and a fan of yours. Tebow was absolutely incredible to see in action. I won't be a bronco fan but your videos are always great to watch.
The nostalgia in this video is fantastic
Great episode man. I’m under no illusions that Tebow might it have been great if he had stayed as a starter, whether with the Broncos or another team but I still wish he could have gotten a full offseason/support as a starter to see what he could do with that.
It feels like his status was just so big that teams didn’t even want him as a back up. Everyone said Tebow looked far better with the Eagles and should have made the roster at least but was released.
That was an absolute perfect pass to God Rest his soul D.T 88🙏 who took it to the house for a Denver Broncos over time win. I really thought Tim Tebow was going to make it with Eagles as he made it to the last cut, but Tebow was meant to serve God and help out those in need. God bless 🙏
Meant to serve god but is a tv analyst and played baseball. Nah, dude just couldn’t cut it in the NFL.
@LuisGonzalez-ud6nt Tebow's record as an NFL starter was 10-6. So, how exactly could he not "cut it" in the NFL?
Oh, and don't forget he was the SEC's all-time leader in career passing efficiency (170.8), completion percentage (67.1%), passing touchdown to interception ratio (5.5 to 1), rushing yards by a quarterback (2,947), rushing touchdowns (any position) (57), and total touchdowns responsible for (145).
He is a winning NFL QB, but for some reason, Tebow was the only time I can really remember that "winning wasn't everything" in the NFL.
@@ShadowBox112what "logic" would say playing a sport or working in TV or having a job means you can't serve God?
This was such a fun time in the NFL, I was all in. that theory of Tebow inserted in the redzone would have been nuts. 20 tds for the season lol
that wildcard game was the first football game i ever watched. been hooked ever since.
I watched every game of that season. I cannot describe how wild it was to actually see live.
Living in western PA and seeing the Steelers get Tebowed in OT in the playoffs was just fantastic.
The shock and awe of that season was epic.
I'm never gonna be a Broncos fan, but man did Tebow get me hyped.
Good job man! Even as a steelers fan I can appreciate the work you put in to entertain us. Every steelers fan remembers that fricking td.
Remember, yes.not fondly tho
Another good video by ponderous penis Perna.
Seahawks fan here, the play with Tebow beating the Steelers in OT was second only to Beastquake for how excited I got for a single NFL play. We started jumping up and down and freaked out my 1 year old (at the time) nephew
It was a fun year for both Tim Tebow and Jeremy Lin were lightning in the sports world.
Thanks for the shoutout my guy! Great vid. What a time to be a Broncos fan, only until FYTB crushed it all.
Great video Brandon, perfect watch on a Sunday morning when I dying for some football, thanks man.
Can you do a Karl Mecklenburg & Randy Gradishar!!! They are extremely underrated and it's a great story and time.... They should be in the HoF
Not a broncos fan, but the Tebow season was so damn fun. He really just kept winning and it was hard to ignore the divine intervention vibes lol.
Ah yes “Tebow Time”. One of the most sufferable times to live in Denver. Not gonna lie, I had a great laugh during and after the patriots game
Broncos fan here and that was one of the best years. They kept you on your feet and it was exciting.
Demaryius Thomas was an absolute legend! He made Tebow look good with a lot of really good catches/YAC.
This was the season I became a broncos fan, I was 9 years old watching teebow magic
Love the Balls Deep Series. The name alone should warrant an Emmy.
This video brought back so many memories. I started watching every Broncos game in 2006. All I gotta say is Broncos Country - What a wild ride
I remember some of the games Tebow won that year in the fourth quarter after looking like a wet noodle for three quarters plus was so insane it looked like a WWE match. The Broncos D was the real hero that season.
I was a freshman in college when we were all sitting around watching that playoff game. As soon as DT caught that ball, our whole dorm building was screaming our heads off. None of us were even Broncos fans, but we were rooting for them
"God's post-season" had me rolling
I live 30 minutes from Gainesville FL(gator country). Most fun we ever had as Gator fans rooting for Tebow. Proud of the guy. He was as competitive and driven as Michael Jordan. Can't blame Denver for going after Manning. Just wish they would have kept Tebow and let him learn under Manning for a couple seasons.
The town wasn't big enough for the two of them. The Sherrif was the answer.
My favorite Broncos season by far, I know 2015 ended with a Super Bowl victory, but 2011 was such a unbelievable and exciting year to watch.
Great season - it was the most fun along with 2005.
1997, 1998 and 2015 were better though, but I would have loved us to bring Tebow back with Kubes in 2016!
I was 14 when we drafted Tebow and lemme tell ya, Tebow is my favorite player of all time (and Champ Bailey ❤)
As a proud Gators fan, I really wish he would’ve been given another chance to develop and be the incredible player he was that year.😢
It is really a bit weird he never got a true second chance. Usually its almost guaranteed a first round QB will have someone take a chance on them even if they don't work out on their first team.
@@extragoogleaccount6061 agreed especially with the titanic upside, I mean it made sense to get Peyton, but dealing away the guy who could have taken over after him so quickly was kinda dumb. All they really had to do was put in the time. But alas we will never know if Tebow would’ve put it together.
Outstanding episode!
As a Broncos fan, I was constantly telling people that year that Tebow was, in fact, a terrible QB.
It was great fun watching those comeback wins but it was also fucking agonizing watching Tebow try and throw a football with any kind of consistent accuracy.
All of that being stated, that playoff win against the Steelers was maybe the most fun I ever had watching a Broncos game. Especially because I was watching it with two Steelers fans who were both in a state of shock after the winning play.
Ah, the pure joy of it!
It was a wild and fun season only to be followed up by the incredible Peyton Manning era. 2011 - 2015 was a fun 5 season run for us Broncos fans
Hot damn, this is nuts. I wasn't watching football at the time of Tebowmania, so it's really cool to get a feel for how his season went.
The win streak was ridiculous. Every game it seemed like they'd be down two scores with five minutes left and then he would just take over. And like the video said, some other weird plays and special teams success would also happen to help make the comebacks possible.
“God’s postseason” 😂
I remember listening to a Chicago sports radio station during that Jets comeback. The host was doing a monologue about Tebow that could only be described as a guy trying to make sense of incontrovertible evidence that leprechauns, unicorns, and ghosts are all real, intercut with real time updates like "and the Broncos are now in Jets territory, and we all know what's gonna happen". It had the feeling of an early episode of Welcome to Night Vale.
tim tebow has a better playoff passer rating than tom brady
Tim Tebow would’ve went 10-0 in the Super Bowl
My first ever game was the miracle in OT vs the Steelers. I am now working in Colorado and hope to attend many more games. Go Broncos 💯👏
Before I comment I just want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I never had high hopes for Tebow but I watched that streak and those playoffs and it was magical.
Tebow may have never had an NFL skill set but more than any player I've ever seen he had heart.
Actually some UNBELIEVABLE times of football.. Always appreciate the times.. man they go fast
And that's what it comes down to. Tebow was a terrible QB, but gave me one of the most exciting seasons in Broncos history
Dude this was awesome, I'd love to see more of these for other bronco legends
I'm a Giants fan. The Giants won the Super Bowl in early 2012, but in the offseason all the New York media talked about was Tebow coming to the Jets.
I uniroincally miss those days lmao.
As a Pats fan, I used to say that Tim Tebow was a great NFL running back. And as a quarterback, he was a great running back.
Thanks Brandon! This was one wild season! I loved Tebow, but when Manning became available I was over him immediately lol but it was a fun season! Awesome video.
“Tebow Time” was like appointment TV viewing. That season you always had to get the Broncos game on once it hit the 4th quarter.
That was hilarous. One of the best video I watched on CZcams.
that 2011 steelers team was good too. Theres no way they should have lost. Brett Keisel, Polamalu, ike taylor, ryan clark, james harrison. Absolute dawgs and couldnt stop Tebow💀
Brendan. That was EXCELLENT! Keep doing more of these . SERIOUSLY funny! Love from Australia
LOL!.....That clip of John Elway saying "Thank you to John Elway...". You got to use that more often.
The great thing I can say is that I got to meet him during an event for handicapable children when he was playing minor league baseball in Binghampton, NY. He was such a great kid that was so great with all of the kids there. Sadly as a Hurricanes fan I couldn’t get his autograph and he understood without me telling him why. All I said was that I couldn’t take one from him and he understood. He was wonderful though.
I have never seen a player with more heart AND physical strength than Tebow. _I love Brian Piccolo_ - I mean, Tim Tebow.
What a season, I remember watching the game on my girlfriends iphone 3 from some seedy website in the movie theaters before the credits. He threw that touchdown pass to beat the Steelers and I started jumping up and down. Two guys heard me and asked me what happened. They ran up and three strangers were locked in an embrace jumping up and down celebrating what I think is the greatest play in nfl history. Good times.
Thanks for getting more of these videos in, Brandon! They make your channel so much better. Can you try to get out another season recap soon? Maybe put up a poll to see which one people want to see? I’m interested to see which ones you have in mind.
With Tebow, it had to be a team effort. Everyone knew he could not win it by himself, so they upped their games. He and DT will live in football lore forever.
As a lifelong Steelers fan, I will never forget that game. I grew up in Kentucky, so I hated Tebow his entire football career. His days at Florida always resulted in crushing defeats for UK. I always rooted for any SEC team to unseat their dynasty. However, when they had to face the gold and black in the playoffs, I knew this was my shot and Pittsburgh would fulfill my dreams of crushing his competitive spirit. When that ball dropped in OT, and one pass ended it all, it felt like he had some red phone to God. On a Steelers’ note, I was always shocked at the Rothlisberger scandal and how he skated that for much of his career. A Balls Deep on Ben and that would be interesting.
Thank you for making this, Tebow was the BEST!!!
He was my first Bronco Legend I ever watched. Wish we had him for longer 😢
As a non-Denver fan, I can tell you that the Denver overtime win over Pittsburgh was the most memorable playoff game I've ever seen. I've seen a lot of great playoff games, but that game is #1 all time!
Thanks Perna, that was truly a magical season. If they weren't messing with Tebow's throwing motion and just let him be I think he would have been fine. It was sad to see him ousted for Manning, especially because Manning really struggled, and Tebow never had another chance. Good nostalgia trip, he had all of us believing there was a way, and you nailed it, Satan came in and shit on everything.
Good jokes too, I can't really remember them at this point, but I laughed pretty hard.
This was my first year watching a full Broncos season as a fan. Go Broncos
"Fellow non-cuss word sayer" - best thumbs up like I've ever spent
That whole Era was a great time to be a broncos fan. Tebow in to manning. What a day. What a lovely day!
I've never had so much fun watching an NFL team's season. Even the champion teams:
*1997 felt so horrible after the KC loss, (when they lost the division). The playoff loss the year before convinced me God hated Denver, and every week, I kept waiting for a loss. It was like watching chemo.
*1998 was exhausting because we were blowing everyone out, and 15-1 Minnesota felt primed to beat us.
*2015 was the one season I'd been hoping for. Just once I wanted a 2000 Ravens-type defense.
But 2011 was divine. Getting our fannies handed to us by New England in the Divisional round never felt so awesome! Every week was with Tebow was an emotional rollercoaster, usually with a win.
I totally forgot about that Tebow song. The internet was so great. Man, what a time to be alive.
Quality content brother, great video
I went to FSU. It was tradition to write "Tebow Tears" on bottles of waters at tailgates
I remember seeing so many Tebow jerseys come and go when I was in middle school, even I almost bought one and I wasn’t even a football fan
I remember looking at my roommate at the time during that bears game when they were down 10-0 and saying "they're gonna win this game". That was the belief he gave us. That was the most fun season I had ever witnessed as a broncos fan. Not the greatest, but the most fun.
As a new subscriber these Balls Deep episodes are so good I’ve pretty much binged watched them all
Im not a Broncos fan, but it was fun to watch the arguments of. "He's not good at throwing passes" agains, "but he wins." It's hard to argue with winning.
I was a Broncos fan for that ONE year. Drinking the cool aid the whole year. Thank you for a great tribute to a great man.
Ultimate bandwagon
Yup!!!
@@Hosstache Bet I can guess why you only cared about that one guy...
