What is disheartening

Is that it didn’t have to be this way — those two drops by Eddie and the red zone INT were killers, on a night when we needed pretty much everything to go right. Now, we need some magic.

Alright guys...let's get up though...

…Might as well…it’s better than being all negative and angry or whatever. There is still another half of football. Let’s hope Shanahan said some good things and made some drastic changes in the locker room. Come on BRONCOS!!

there needs to be a purging of the roster......

starting with Slowik and Webster

If the story about the KC assistants looking for other jobs is true, then we need to go after Gunther Cunningham for DC….Shanny wanted him a few years ago.

I would like to see some continuity with the coaching staff/duck. Give Slowik some marginal talent to work with up front.

Gunther has been effective

He’s just not a cover 2 guy like Herm Edwards wants. But still, he’s got a historically bad defense right now (only 10 sacks on the season….NFL record).

Our DLine never get push...

the O Lineman get to the LBs easily. When not blocked, the LBs are out of position. We cannot get pressure. When we do blitz, we get burned… Oh, but it’s Slowvik’s fault. I see. I think it would be a travesty if he loses his job with what he has to work with.

You know what, since we have pretty much lost the game, we will have a better spot in the draft.

Besides, we weren’t expected to win this game or the division. So the Chargers get lucky and the Broncos don’t. So what. So all you negative people get outta here because the Broncos don’t need your negativity. Sure I’m disappointed with the effort but we weren’t expected to win this game. We still have one of the best young football teams.

One thing about San Diego is that they always have to fight in the end of the year to make the play-offs.

One year they won’t get so lucky. If I had to pick between these two teams, I’d still pick the Broncos because of all of their youth. Plus the Chargers are only good in December. San Deigo has a lot of old veterans.

Along with why he always gets off to hot starts only for the league to completely figure him out after about week 4.

The D needs a different philosphy.

Jim Johnson-esque. You saw the Philly D destroy Dallas. Those guys were blitzing like crazy.

True

Even when we went to the AFC Title game in 05 we blitzed like hell. We were up on the line of scrimage almost every play. Now, you could not blitz less than the Broncos do.

Let's see...

I believe the Defense was rated 18th or so when Coyer was fired? Anybody, raise your hand if you would LOVE to have the league’s 18th rated defense in Denver right now?

Draft

We better take the best available player on defense. No reaching for DT. Yes it is our biggest need but there are a lot of wholes to fill.

For Peppers or Haynesworth this offseason. Both are free agents. Make some trades.

Ok, I'll take the job.

I will be defensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos. I’m serious. The worst you can be is 32nd, and we’re almost there.

I can’t promise you better than 30th, but I will work for half whatever Slowik makes and I won’t even ask for a parking space.

Whaddaya say?

17 points..possible

Except...

The defense would have to stop the Bolts from scoring immediately. I can’t see that happening. It’s a nice thought though.

Well...

Champ is not 100 percent, Bly is overrated and no corner in the league can consistently cover effectively without a pass rush or decent safeties – neither of which we have right now.

They did

In the first half. That’s when Rivers started torching us with those cross patterns.
