We have a defense compiled of a bunch of guys that could not start for any other team,
depth guys. That’s fine. Cut some guys that arn’t producing to thier contract, fine. Add a few playmaking rookies and maybe a beast FA or two and our depth guys won’t look so bad. Blowing things up and starting over would be the dumbest thing imaginable. This organization is smarter than that. Blowing it up is what happens on message boards, open threads, and organizations run by Dan Snyder, Jerry Jones, or managed my Matt Millin.
As I said before, firing Slowick for managing a team comprised of average to below average talent would be terrible. Remember in the preseasn when someone here posted player ratings based on positive plays vs. negative plays, etc? I would be interested to se how that looked now for our font seven.

Thats garbage.....we looked decent against Atrlanta and Jets because he had to use what he had in the right way.
Larsen looked great, WW looked great, Dre played well. Our “stars” come back and he reverts to being conservative.
He has no idea about his players, their strengths and has loyalty to veterans whan they have proven nothing but liabilities to the team. thats why he is known as a players coach…he looks after his boys regardless of performance…its pathetic……Any coincidence that Bell is looking bad…..hes playing soft zone again with players that are not suited to it.
I WILL GIVE NO LEE WAY TO SLOWIK….HE SUCKS!

Sorry man,
but I have no idea how you could make those judements unless you were inside the locker room. Shanny has always played the best players. There is a long track record there, and unless you have some sources inside the locker room I don’t buy your accusaions. Does it suck to see WW on the sidelines? Yes. Is he better than DJ? I don’t think so. Was Larsen really that great? Also, the soft zone, etc. is based on the pathetic front seven in my mind.

We will agree to disagree man...
You are a good cat Butte. SHanny has let Slowik have hsi way…he has even said that in interviews.
My only question: When did our D look the best? What were the reasons for it? Whate were the differences?
Your argument is good, I just dont agree.
Have a good man.
The most important thing: ALL of us here want to see the best the Broncos can be. We jsut see thing differentr.

Doesn't matter
We’re 8-8. QB’s are judged on their record. Stats are meaningless. May not be his fault, and it’s not, but that’s just the way it is.

I feel sorry for Cutler, honestly
He has absolutely no defense, and no running game to speak of. He also gets no good field position because of the defense and ST. Yet he still puts up numbers and does all he can to win.

Anybody, man, anybody.
I don’t care who it is. I’m not saying Champ hasn’t been a tremendous, absolutely outstanding football player. All I’m saying is he looks the part of a guy on the decline. I would not mind losing him if it meant getting a stud DT or something, ya know?

"Players" coaches is not what a byoung team needs....
They need coaches that demand perfection, work and make environments that breed success. In high end sport, acoaches job is to set there athletes up for success….not failure.
What have you seen Guru? I have seen veterans not held responsible, and given back ther starting roles carte blanche, seen rookies play with heart and passion and relegated to the bench. I have seen young coaches given too much leeway and not enough guidance. Is it any co incidence we have come out gang busters (when Shanny scripts plays) yet we become prediactable when it is left in Bates hands?
As I have said, I am JAZZED on our potential, but unitl Shanny matches our potential with top flight coaching, then we will have “what if” seasons and we will sell this team short.

We got our head kicked in last year too in San Diego the last game of the season, if they couldn’t figure out how to close out a season after that Sn Fran loss two years ago, then they have learned nothing.

A total and complete embarassment
Can’t say it wasn’t as predictable as can be though. This is just an atrocity. 52 in the biggest game of the year? Really Broncos? This could be an all-time low.

This team lacks leadership, plain and simple
I think losing Rod Smith, Nalen, and Lynch has left a big void as far as players accepting responsibility

I don't even think it's that
To me it seems like the Veterans were complacent. When the rookies had to fill in, they played hungry and stepped up their play.

I think forgetting this game is the worst thing you can do
Especially if you’re in this organization. You need a big time reality check right now if you’re the Broncos. This team is just flat out not any good. Especially on defense. You need to use this game to evaluate your roster and look at all the complacency that was going on out there tonight.

Here will be the interesting part...
Who loses their job over this? Like we all discussed earlier, how many defensive coordinators has this team let go for FAR less than this? This was the most embarrassing defensive performance by this team this year without question. In fact it trumps anything that happened last year.
I’d hate to see us turn over another coordinator so fast but there’s no reason whatsoever to perform like this and keep your job. Just none.

Thats the thing MM, Mikey is Bi Polar...
He did such a good job with injuries and making things work with rookies, yet screwed the pooch on coaching staff and game planning when out “veterans” were back.
I question his evaluation of staff, and wonder if he hires people that hecan control and are not a threat to his fiefdom.
It is a strange dynamic!

I think Denver needs to
pick a damn defensive scheme and get the personnel for it in the draft and free agency. Stop this carousel of schemes, gimmicks, and idiot linebackers who overpursue. Nate Webster, Champ Bailey, and the D-Line have to go.

Defensive futility is on Shannahan as well
I know it is kind of taboo to talk about Shannahan and his job security around Denver, but he is the head football coach. The offense, defense, and ST falls in his lap as well. Right now, I would say definitively that Shanny is simply not getting it done. Has he lost his touch? I don’t know. I just don’t think his job security should be out of the question by any means.

There's been lots of talk about it
Both this season and last season, at least how I’ve seen it. But I absolutely agree that Shannahan should not just received a free pass to go on to the next season. He was part of the problem this season, no denying it.

You are absolutely correct
I can’t imagine Slowik keeping his job at this point. But the buck stops at the top. Technically they finished better than last year but if we don’t see a real return to playoff contention next year you’re going to have a hard time convincing a lot of fans we have the right man running the show.
