New coach for the Broncos - The wonderkid

[wesintl]

I'm going to be the optimist in this discussion - with a "super star" QB we were 7-9 and then 8-8.

Cutler didn't play defense too. They were #2 overall rated offense in the league. I could understand if they weren't in the top 10. The defense was 29th out of 32.

same crappy defense, offense with an average, at best, qb, rebuilding, dufuss unproven coach, I think they will be lucky to break even.

Agreed on the defense. I guess I'm hoping that with a less spectacular QB the team can focus on the basics. It all comes down to blocking and tackling. I do think we've got some sleeper RB's that will take the pressure off on the offensive side, and now we've got some draft picks to shore up the defense. I'm gonna stick with 10-6, and we lose in the 1st round to Sandy eggo, who of course implodes and loses in the 2nd round to the Patriots. Chicago will be 7-9, because they can't afford anybody to catch the ball who can run as fast as Cutler throws, and his ego won't let him dump it off for the easy yards. Those are my predictions.

They were in the bottom half of the league in scoring. That #2 offense line is worn out. Dood went 25 TDs, 18 INTs. His schtick sulking and pouting at the end of the bench doesn't endear him to anyone. I think 2 #1s and a #3 is a steal. This offense will score points next year too. Look at this way, Brady threw more TDs in 2008 than Cutler has in his career. McDaniels will get the ball in the end zone.

The problem with the Broncs is they haven't had draft picks. Shanny traded away a #2 for Javon Walker. He traded away a #1 to move up to draft Cutler. He traded away a pick to move to pick Moss. In the last 4 years, they've had 4 picks, 6 picks a couple times, and they've chased. I don't if anyone has bought more free agents than the Broncs.

The reason the offense is in relatively good shape is cuz they've built it through the draft. The defense has been built through free agency. The D-Line has had double digit free agents in the last 5 years.

They had 9 picks prior to the trade and they just got three more in the first 85. This is absolutely the best thing they can do. The teams that have done well, Pittsburgh, Indy, New England, Giants, even the Bears and Packers of late, have spurned free agency and have lots of youth. The Broncos have consistently been one of the oldest rosters in the NFL (4 years in a row in the oldest 5). This game is played by young men willing to risk their health for wealth. The Broncos, Redskins, Vikings, even Cowboys have foulded their rosters with too many free agents.

They will be better next year and much better in 2010. Let Captain Whiney Pants snivel in Chicago.

Wow.. great picks. Should be a banner year for the donks

 

[wesintl]

no ball in the end zone but they finally did get on the board.

how? i dont think anybody knows...

 

[wesintl]

what's mcnolan thinking... play man the whole game then zone the last drive and let em score.

So much for mcnutty getting the ball in the endzone

Can't beat the bengals it's going to be a looooooooong season.

 

[wesintl]

ah man.. where's my crow

 

[Shark Bait]

16-0 baby!

HAHA What an exciting end even if it ended up being luck that made it happen.

Hopefully they work Marshall into the O more and use Hillis more as we go on. I have to say the D looked good until we changed our game plan for that last Cinci drive. WTF.

I bet McDaniels was asking himself how did he get such a dumb QB when Kyle got sacked on that 3rd down.

 

[RockRunner]

Orton did much better than CryBaby has done so far in two halves. Two INT's nearly 4 and has missed nearly most his throws. His second INT cost them a TD. Orton may not be great but he managed the game better than CB is playing it.

 

[jettaglxdriver]

I think head to head Cutler is still a better QB but the other changes to the Bronco system are for the better. Cutlers crybabyness wouldn't have fit with this system.

By the way. You are all welcome to my Packers for making the Cutler look pretty bad on Sunday night football.

Also my neighbor builds houses down where Cutler used to live in Douglas County. Turns out his dad lived with him. Cutler's next door neighbors young son went to him and asked for an autograph and was turned down. Cutler bought 2 german shephards that just barked all the time with no caring for the neighbors. They finally went to the police for an injunction and when all was done Cutlers father went to chew out the neighbors who had called the police.

Like father like son. Both real jerks.

Good thing we sent Cutler "Packin'"

All they way, baby! 16-0!!

I was there today. The defense really looks good. The place went nuts when Marshall made that catch and scored.

Gonna be a tough stretch the next few games. Even if we break even we'll be in pretty good shape for the playoffs. The Broncos are for real!

If they win next week against New England than a lot more folks will be on their bandwagon.

Betting Shanahan moves to Dallas next year

Still hvae tickets to a couple of games left

Wade Phillips will likely be fired soon. But I'd be surprised if Shanahan took the job in Dallas. He wants full control and Jerry Jones wants his say. The two are incompatible.

 

[Romer]

I am just glad they had it on the radio here in DC and on TV. I was checking my phone every couple of minutes after I landed and it was 0-7. Got to my Hotel in time to watch the second half

Rachel and Sarah are going to the New England game. That should be a good one

 

[Jacket]

I thought Jason Garrett was the heir apparent in Dallas? Has that changed?

As for the Broncos, it's unbelievable to me what they've done with that defense in 1 year. Somebody deserves credit for that above all. Imagine what kind of team they'd be with last year's offense, and this year's defense!

Well I guess they couldn't be any better than 4-0....
