This makes much more sense than Cutler being up for Fed Ex player of the week when he wasnt even the best QB in teh game he played.

So winning games only applies for Vince Young?

Weird considering Pitt ran better than us, played D better than us, and had better special teams than us. Hmmm... what could've been the difference in the game...

Not true.

Not true.

It was one of our better days on STs, but we still kicked it out of bounds on the opening KO and had 0 touchbacks on KOs, compared to their 2. They did have one miscue on a return though.

Average starting pt off kickoffs:

Broncos = 24.4 yard line
Pitt = 24.2 yard line

Advantage = Broncos (even with the kick out of bounds)


And don't ignore Sauerbraun's punting:

41 yards, no return
50 yards, no return
64 yards, 16 yard return

52 yard gross average
46 yard net average

Their punter punted for 46 and 30 yards, no returns.

38 yard gross and net average.

Not even close.

Also, Elam was 1-1 on field goals. Their kicker was 0-1.

Advantage = clearly Broncos.

I'll trust you that comes out to a 0.2 yd "advantage". Like I said, Pitt had that one miscue, although the miscue only came about because our kickoff was so short they weren't sure who should field it. We really need a KO specialist, maybe cut Mustard for that spot. If Scheffler is out for awhile, we can always bring Mustard back then release him once Scheffler is healthy again.

Todd had his best day punting in some time. Their punter did well too. A 46 yarder w/ no return, and the 30 yarder was a little pooch punt from inside our territory.

Also, Elam was 1-1 on field goals. Their kicker was 0-1.

Dude, it was a 65 yarder. It was a 65 yarder because their QB took a sack in the 2 minute drill to knock themselves out of fg position. Our QB in the two minute drill, put us in a spot to kick a real fg (which, you know, the QB thingy was the original point here!).

Lastly, even if we say we slightly edged them in STs, it was certainly no where near how much they dominated in the rushing game compared to us. It was something like 100 yards for them compared to 50 for us. It's certainly nothing compared to how much better than their D is than ours. It's nothing compared to how much better there WRs and TEs are than ours. There are two things that made a big difference in this game, one wears a headset, one wears #6.

In the Poll they have Crowder listed as a CB.
