Webster, not even close, and the OLineman are getting to the LBs with ease.

Dude, it takes one change and we will be better againts the run. Bring in Larsen

That was a good call. The last thing we wanted was a TO there.

Great call.

Guys, its all cool....we have some talent but we have no DC and idiots in our key positions. Its no coincidence we have suckede since Webster, DJ and Champ have come back. We pulled our rookies and it destroyed the passion we had on defense

We will be a force next year for sure

chargers are brining everything they got in the first half..

OK, the storm is over, time for a good drive and regroup after the half
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
"Duffman is thrusting in the direction of the problem" - Duffman
All I wanted was for this team to keep it close...
but as soon as they dectivated Pinnock the wriring was on the wall. they played webster, DJ and Winborn when our best at LB had been WW and Larsen.
Play Larsen at FB and we have not seen him yet, and we then play soft zone all night…
The rookies have been let down by this coaching staff….SLowik frickin sucks, and Shanny needs to make some hard decisions and hire some difference makers on his staff.
No good having great drafts if your coaching staff can reap havoc.
It is unacceptable, and coaching bhas set this team back 2 years

This game isn't over, this looks like the 1st game against the Chargers except in reverse
We can move the ball, we will score on this drive

We will get a TD, get the ball back after the half and get another TD, this game isn't over
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum

Come on...we get a TD before half we're back in it. Let's Go!!!
Remember, we get the ball after half.

Agreed...we only 2 stops from Slowik and his crew of under acheievers and we are in this game...

Stokes with a nice grab...let's go...TD TD!!
There is only One Moment—this moment—the Eternal Moment of Now
yeah it is...but let's hope they can overcome it...

Great throw to Stokley
Scary on the replay — not much space at all there.
I htink we can still pull this out with half time adjustments
I just hate the other team getting a lead
You wouldn't like me when I am mad!

Even it wasn't a TD...we can get in the endzone...we got the Chargers on their heels...and Cutler is pissed and out for blood.

Always....though its not as fun when you are watching a train wreck that YOU are involved in....we have had not one stop tonight on D

Whole new defense. LOL we were better when the rooks were playing.
The player who thinks he can and the player who knows he can are two different players, which one are you???
That was the Browns and they had nothing to prove
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
"Duffman is thrusting in the direction of the problem" - Duffman
we’ve only played one game well this year on both sides, and that was against the jets. our fast start was because of our O. the D has been exposed all year. Once our offense started turning it over we have no chance since our D cant stop anything. our players are out of position most of the time. i know our players love slowlik, but he needs to go. his schemes are horrible. everyone just picks us apart.
i think shanahan should move permanently to GM or President and hire a whole new coaching staff. regardless our the defensive pains i am happy for cutler and emergence of royal. happy holidays everyone!
I can't beleive the coaches haven't realized.................
how much better the D looked while Nate “I like to take bad angles and try to arm tackle from behind” Webster was out.
The player who thinks he can and the player who knows he can are two different players, which one are you???
I better see Larsen and Woodyard in the second half or Slowvik should take a flight to another state

Not over yet
But zero margin of error now. Next big mistake will kill us.
Well, I won't pack it in until it's over, but something has to change on D or we're toast.

Only thing that makes this worth while is fresh tamales and some cold beer

She is singing…almost at that high note crescendo that ends it all
Terrible night for the Donkeys
DUDE....I WILL REPEAT.....SLOWIK IS A F$CKING IDIOT....HE SUCKED IN GREEN BAY TOO SO WHY WOULD IT CHANGE HERE!!!
Those that cant coach, compete!
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
I REFUSE to get too negative....our O is awesome. We will have a good RB backfield next year...and look at it this way....our D HAS to improve. yep, we choked, yep we have coaches that adjust games slower than the glacial crawl in the antartic....but it w
Werd!
Those that cant coach, compete!

It's balance
We have NO offensive balance. We don’t have a dangerous RB that SD has to worry about. They will give up a few yards on the ground. They are just sitting back and waiting for a pass to pick off. It’s looking that way to me.
Also, no play-action whatsoever from the Broncos. Jay has been in the shotgun all game.
But this game so far has been squarely the defense’s fault. You can’t let them score on 4 straight possesions (TD’s on 3 of them) and expect for the game to be close. It looks like they have no interest in trying to blitz, just letting River’s sit back and carve them up for huge yards. Slowik isn’t doing his job. He probably should be shitcanned
That was a bad route run by BM there though!

Understand mate, that is the soft zone that Slowik has played all year. Champ is back, Dre sucks...NO COINCIDENCE!!! Dre plays well when aggressive and Slowik cant see this. Thats why he is so dumb. It is setting both Dre and Champ up for failure

Agreed...as I have said lots more positives than negatives...this could be the greatest comeback of all time!!!

NO...anyone from Belichicks staff is a negative. They have sucked when they have left and it just leads me to belive they were good because of "OTHER" methods!

This team is truly awful
You just simply cannot be that bad on defense. We don’t even look like a real NFL team on defense. The Chargers can sit back and literally do whatever they please to our defense. Champ looks like he is on the decline and we have not one single player on defense I wouldn’t mind seeing gone next year.
What pisses me off the absolute most though is that we cannot even come out and compete against the Chargers after having a historic collapse to even be in this situation. We have zero pride it seems and it is extremely hard to be proud of anything this team is doing right now.
I don’t want to hear the excuses. Oh we are rebuildling, oh we lost runningbacks, oh we are better then most people thought. Bullsh!t. This team has a long, long way to go and we don’t belong anywhere near the playoffs. If anyone thinks that firing Shannahan is not a viable option at this point you are simply delusional. We may not do it, but if you do not think that is a viable option I don’t know what to say. The “mastermind’s” act has gotten old real quick. 10 years since Elway?
But we dont have the worst D roster in the NFL but play like it...leasd me to scheme and coaching and not getting teams ready to play. NO EXCUSES TONIGHT!
Those that cant coach, compete!
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
I somewhat agree
The Offense is great (not awesome yet), it’s the D that’s holding us back. I think we’re just a high profile Defense Coordinator away (a new special teams coach couldn’t hurt) away from being a contender. Champ is clearly still hurting and perhaps D.J. Williams is as well
You can't be a blind supporter
What is going on with this proud Broncos franchise right now is embarassing to say the least. Broncos Nation cannot stand for this. We are getting smacked around like a college team out there. The level of play and intensity of play from this Broncos squad has dropped off considerably. We never make adjustments, we just continue to get beat over the head by the same stuff.
I don't know what is worse...the media dumping on the Broncos or everyone here dumping on the Broncos.
I’m so tired of hearing about how bad this team is. This team isn’t that bad. How do you think we beat the Jets and Falcons?
What do you want?
Do they deserve to be praised right now? Get real. We are getting absolutely clowned out there right now.
Dude, defintely not bad...WAY big upside, but we have been sorely lacking on D when we do have some good players. Its not players its coaching!
Those that cant coach, compete!
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
That's entertainment ?
Hopefully this doesn’t turn out to be a national embarrassment ? I hope not……
Cutler is incredible, so is Sheff, Royal, BM, Stokes, Hillis, Chad Jackson has some upside, DG is great...we just need an AVERAGE D with a GREAT DC

Last game of the year
We’re like the Boys today, folks. If you don’t want to witness a monumental a$$whippin you better shut off your set and head to the bar. I don’t believe in miracles, and I saw this coming. Shanny looks like a scared little boy. You notice he never talks to Cutler? He needs to get back to COACHING! This sucks. But it’s deserved. We could have settled this long ago, but didn’t have the balls – so this is what you get. I hope Mike enjoys every minute of it. Yes, I’m pissed. We’re not good, we have not been respectable for quite some time, and I am sick of it. I hope they run the freakin score up! Do not tell me I’m being negative! I’m SICK OF IT! Since ‘98, we haven’t been worth a sh!t, and pardon me if I demand respectability Mike Shanahan, MR. BIG STUFF, MR. GENIUS, what’s up? Over and OUT.
"Be not like dumb-driven cattle...."
the time is now!
too much too drink but I love the bronco’s. I’ll never give up but I know when were outmatched. I and i hate it.
Wait a minute...
Anybody know what Larry Coyer is up to these days? No, I am serious. He and Jim Bates were fired for far, far less than this. The Chargers have scored on every single possession and the Broncos have not even come CLOSE to stopping them.
Not. Even. Close.
It’s hard for the offense to get into a rhythm and make anything happen when they’re never on the field. At this point I’m just hoping the Broncos can score enough points to make it look like it was a competitive game.
Denver has what, nine draft picks right now? Not only do they need some serious help on defense, they need someone worth a damn calling the shots on that side of the ball too. It’s about time they make a play for a big name defensive coordinator, whatever it costs.
So yeah, anyone know what Larry Coyer is up to these days? Seriously.
OMG A CHARGERS PUNT!!
Ok, hit record, hit record….get your camera…otherwise nobody will believe it happened.
