The biggest threat to Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos tomorrow night isn't the Patriots defense.
It's the Pats offense, and more specifically tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.
Why?
The Broncos defense has gotten a lot of accolades for its turnaround in the second-half of the season.
But its one huge flaw, as measured by the stat-heads at Football Outsiders, is its pass defense on medium- and long-range throws over the middle.
And what's the big strength of the Pats offense?
Gronk (17 TDs), and his trusty tight-end sidekick Hernandez catching balls in the middle of the field.
So (hilariously), the guy who will probably put Tebowmania to bed for 2011-12 is a porn-star-loving wild man who has his own cult following, his own hyperbolic t-shirts, and his own annoying meme.
Basically, Tebow will be undone by the anti-Tebow tomorrow.
Either that, or the power of Tebow will overcome Denver's flaws (and Gronk's dominance) and keep the impossible run going.
