The Broncos have a lot of work to do - The Orange Mane

Denver724 · 12-10-2006, 05:32 PM

Cutler is not ready
ST sucks
Ernster sucks (as a punter and kicker)
OL needs a LOT of work
DL can't get any pressure on the QB (no pass rush)
D-Will is way overrated
We can’t lean on our running game like in years past
Game plan/play calling is predictable and has no imagination
and the list goes on....

I hate to say it, but there is a chance we could lose the next four games.

And anyone who thinks I am being overly negative and given up hope please watch the game. This team is bad (and not all due to Cutler).

Offensive success starts with the OL. Look at the difference between the Charger pass protection vs. Denvers. We have fallen behind and the inability to protect Jake/Jay will force turnovers.

Atwater His Ass · 12-10-2006, 05:43 PM

I agree with everything expect the running game. It has been solid most of the year. The OL needs improvement in pass protection.

corrections to your list:

ernster is sporadic...it was a mistake to let a pro bowler leave
OL needs to get HEALTHY
D-will has lost his confidence, but hasnt lost his talent
we missed tatum but he is back and running hard
our playcalling is for a rookie...cant get too complicated

KansasBronco · 12-10-2006, 05:55 PM

We haven't looked this awful since Brain Griese's rookie year. This brings back some painful memories of that year.

Denver724 · 12-10-2006, 05:59 PM

Chaz,

I like your optimism. I was there about three weeks ago. It is long gone now.

Atwater His Ass · 12-10-2006, 06:00 PM

Remember week 3, when we beat the Pats? Good times...

If you think getting the OL HEALTHY is the answer, you are crazy. It isn't just Lepsis.

TheChamp24 · 12-10-2006, 07:21 PM

Special teams, pass rushing talent on the DL, and safety help.
Plus, getting healthy too wouldn't hurt. Losing Brandon and Ferguson really hurt us more than we thought I think.
If we get healthy, add some GOOD TALENT on the DL and get a good safety, I'll be looking forward to next year.

we @#@$$##$ing suck

The game starts and ends in the trenches with good offensive and defensive linemen. The one thing that Shannahan fails to address properly. Not that we haven't had good lines on both sides is the past-it's just that Shannahan now thinks he is to smart to have to address the issue.

no-pseudo-fan · 12-10-2006, 10:47 PM

One or two players would make a huge difference. A power back and a stud safety would cover some major holes.

if you think lepsis isnt 90% of the problem than you are crazy....coop got killed on fourth down today, and RT is a disaster, but matt is missed. Next year kuper or myers will get in there, maybe draft a RT stud, i dont know, i cant predict the future, but i think the OL is the least of our worries once we get matt healthy next year.

Amen to slap....f*$# all these bandwagon fans that just tear the team apart after a loss...san diego is a good team, they deserved todays game.

I just hope we have 4 games left.

There is alot of that going around.

The Chiefs have Alot of work to do also.

Its time to gut the fish and rebuild.

The offensive and defensive lines need to be re-stocked in my opinion, but other than that our team is pretty much set.
