Mother**** yea! Great vid. I miss those days.
There's a ton of great Gradishar footage in there. I wonder if Blove has seen all of this? I know he was looking for footage at one point.

Nah.
We won 2 SBs when we put together a playoff team.
1. Running Game
2. Defense

We put together one of the most prolific offenses the game has ever seen, and then asked our defense to get after the quarterback with a lead.
You're talking about Football 101. I'm talking about about the Masters courses.

No. we gave up 112 points the last 3 gamess. Bottom of the league in turnovers.
WE SUCK on defense and Shanny would not budge. Insubordination=Fired.
Just ask Spidey

With the schedule we have next year it's quite possible a Slowik lead defense could have posted EVEN WORSE franchise records than the ones set this year.
We have the talent to compete. Even win if we play our best. But we didn't have the DC and we would have been destroyed with Slowik. I hold out hope that we might put together a decent season now.

they did out play the starters , one of the reasons i didnt blame slowik as much as others did ...... those back ups should have been named starters , those guys played well and would have only gotten better

Shanahan had final say on game-day personnel decisions. Those were Shanahan calls.

Remember when Denver meant great head coaching because those days could easily be ancient history if Bowlen doesn't choose right with the new hire. Head coaches of Mike Shanahan's calibur do not grow on trees, in fact they are damn near impossible to find.

shouldn't that have been enough to make you hate Slowik? i mean, even an ordinary fan could see that the defense played better with the rookies than it did with the starters, and as soon as the vets were healthy again, the rookies playing better than them were benched. there were moments during the season where it looked like you could build upon certain players or schemes, but Slowik could never do anything to get the defense to take the next step.
i don't care if you have a talented D like the Titans, or garbage like we did. there is no excuse for how bad he was coaching our Defense. a Head Coach, OC, DC anything is responsible for putting his unit in the best position to succeed. and with him dumping the players playing better than the vets and killing any kind of goodness the defense was building with the youth, he deserved to go.
and considering the fact that Shanahan was fired for him, makes me hate him even more.
yesterday i just wanted Slowik fired, now i want him to burn in hell.

How in the **** do you know that??
Those were Slowicks calls. Evidently, Shanny was willing to bet his job on Slowick's decisions.

Lets see , the Back up played Slowik system better then the starters did , so that translates into, Slowik sucks and his system stinks ..........got it ..... now you want him to burn in hell ? grow the **** up .......
