Jets Flame Out as Tebow Lights Up

I’m 3 days late to the dance on a blog about the Jets/Broncos game because of my crazy graves schedule so I’ll keep game comments brief and not bore you. Then I’ll deal with what seems to be overshadowing what has been an amazing turnaround for the Broncos.

The D was awesome, they played with passion and aggression,  tremendously good tackling by every position player, good against the run and pass and most important they kept the game close so Tebow could work his magic in the finally minutes of the game.

Some would say it was a bad game to watch because there weren’t many big passing plays but I loved it. It was old time smash mouth football at its finest. I love the Defensive play in the last 3 games. The change in their overall intensity is dramatic. Von Miller is a beast, have you noticed when he makes a good form tackle how quickly the player goes to the ground with his head hitting the turf with an incredible bang like a crash test dummy?

Miller is an incredibly gifted talent with great speed, with an amazing punch during a pass rush and can tackle like no Broncos player I’ve seen in very long time. He still needs to maintain his contain in the running game but each week he’s shown improvement.

With him leading the charge on D and Tebow exhibiting that undying will to win the Broncos will go nowhere but up. You’d think that would be the primary focus by football fans everywhere and especially Broncos Fans since they’ve been winning some very tough games with a total team effort but it’s not always the case

Sadly some real NFL and Broncos Fans choose not to focus on the games themselves, or the great team and individual performances in the last 3 games. Instead far too many people seem to get lost in the off the field actions of Tebow when he openly praises God, thanks him every chance he can get and makes no apology for it. IMO he owes no one an apology and what he has done and continues to do is not harming a soul.

Some people just refuse to believe that he’s a genuinely nice sincere guy and says what he means and means what he says doing it in very classy humble way. It people are offended by what he says and smack down on him because he goes to a knee to pray and give thanks then I believe they’re got way bigger problems to deal with in their own lives and should turn inward and look in the mirror.

The wife and I give thanks everyday when we wake up and before every meal whether we are at home or eating out. We don’t flaunt nor try to shame or embarrass anyone in the process it’s about surrendering to something that is greater than us.

The way I look at it is if someone is taking prayer personal they must take other things personal and therefore have some sort of guilt, shame or confusion about what they believe. I’ve always liked the motto: “What you think of me is none of my business.” It applies here because if you’re worried about me you’ve just gone outside of your own hula-hoop and involved yourself in something that has absolutely nothing to do with you.

I have respect for non-believers; I don't shame any of the friends that I have in my circle right now because they don't believe. I live in one of the most liberal cities in America that supports every liberal cause imaginable, whether it’s gay marriage, drug legalization, going green, socialism or fill in the blank. But when it comes to faith I don’t judge anyone and keep my opinions to myself unless I’m engaged openly and honestly among friends.

On my facebook page I’ll get into politics because that’s something that’s important to openly debate but I never bash on someone who doesn’t believe in what I do from a faith prospective ever because that is the most personal choice of all and it’s the one of the many freedoms which this country was founded upon.

The same should apply to Tebow, whether you believe what he is doing is genuine or not he should have the right to give thanks in any manner he wants. It seems to me the people who are most offended tend to be people who claim to be for free speech become opposed to it as soon as it’s something of which they disagree. Whether you’re Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Agnostic or believe in the Moon Bat God or no God at all hypocrisy is the worst of all wrongs.

Just leave Tebow alone, what he believes is none of my business and is none of yours. If he makes you uncomfortable, then that’s your problem not his.
