After entirely too much deliberation, I’m giving Tebowmania another week. It says here that the young miracle-worker will beat the Patriots today. I know, I know: so much of Tebow’s success has been the result of gifts lavished upon by suddenly pregnable defenses. Why did the Jets come with an all-out blitz, knowing that Tebow was having trouble throwing the ball? Why did the mighty Bears back off of his receivers, leaving the team wide open for Marian Barber‘s brutal, brainfrozen gallop out of bounds? It’s a mystery wrapped in a riddle wrapped in an enigma. Do I expect such gifts from a Belichick defense? Not really; but the thing is, I don’t think this is really a Belichick defense; I think this is weak impersonator in Patriot colors. And this hard-charging Von Miller-Elvis Dumervil is the kind of defense that gives Tom Brady fits. It says here that my Jackson kinsmen in Colorado will have one more day of shouting.
