WTF are you complaining about ???

[Chris]

I personally believed Shanahan had us going nowhere and Bowlen's testicles expanded to the size of watermelons before he stormed into Shanny's dust covered off and seized the opportunity to inject some new life into our team.

The lame knockoff version of a successful product is not what I want my beloved Broncos to become.

Honestly, what did you expect him to do? Forget everything he's learned and keep everything they way Shanny had it just because that's the way things were done in the past?

Orton's definitely new.
I'm not sure how much life he has in him though.

Because I will coach for a lot less than Mcdaniels makes and I have won just as many games as he has.

Yeah, and they should cut Moreno and sign you as RB, because he has as many NFL rushing yards as you do.

worst argument ever

There was this thread once started on the Mane about Bowlen being a gutless drunk. It came about 9 months ago and has covered this topic pretty ****ing extensively.

And we would still be on track but sadly jay cutler is a b**** so put the blame squarely where it belongs also mike signed his own termination papers and gave pat little choice. (that's all iam saying on this way overhashed subject) and zona has a point people complain no matter what happens it's a freaking flow chart with some of the peeps on this board.

Zona, I think it all comes down to if a sprain is a stretch or torn and if Kuper has either. This will be McDaniels doing for the season.

I agree too. I'm not sure he had the defense in hand, but .... there were at least two ways for Bowlen to handle that w/o firing Shanny, nor was I happy with T. Henry.

[colonelbeef]

need a map man? you are extremely lost.

[SportinOne]

Man, one solid preseason game against a team that has struggled ALL PRESEASON and suddenly the nuthuggers get a little hop in their step.

If anything, last night only proved how bad Kyle Orton might be.

There's only one appropriate response for this thread........

I loved Shanahan as much as the next guy but once I stepped back and looked at the whole picture, good god, Bowlen was right to fire him. 1 playoff win in a 10 year span is so ridiculously bad it's not even funny. Most other coaches would have been long gone before Mike was let go. Yup, he won a few superbowls very early and I think that's what earned him that precious extra time but I don't see how anybody could say he should have stayed with that kind of drought.

So when Josh comes in here to try to change things up a bit, guys here are acting like we have been a winning team or something and what he's doing is hurting our chances for the future. Oh, you mean like winning a single playoff game in 10 years kinda future? Please, get some F'n perspective of the last 10 years and give it a rest. You're not willing to give Josh a few years before you evaluate him but you were willing to give Mike a 10 year free ride. It's NFL insanity is what it is.

I'm not in a rebuilding mood for one. Coaches in their 30's in the NFL don't until their in their 40's. McD has no Franchise Qb and has yet to prove he can win with low end mediocre journeyman QB's. McD won with a Franchise-Pro Bowl-HOF QB, and was able to win with Cassel due to the system Belichick has installed.

So again, McD will have to prove himself and win plain and simple. I understand McD has a 3 year window to create a miracle and at least be ready to make the playoffs and win at least one playoff game.

Belichick assist. coaches who become HC have yet to show they can win on a consistent basis w/o Daddy Belichick at their side for guidance and reassurance.

Last, if you believe Josh is the answer you go ahead and knock yourself out. Besides you can comeback and say I told you so. All the McD doubters can comeback and say we were wrong.....but I highly doubt it.

Just end it and hand in your fan card...

I applaud the McD hire. The Broncos have been an undisciplined group the last few years and they absolutely have no fire. What else to explain our annual late season swoon and our horrible home record. I think McD will at least get these guys to play hard as a team, something I doubted Shanny could do the last few years.

This change may be good or Shanahan. He has been out visiting dominent defensive teams during training camp. I would asume learning a thing or two about the defense. Sometimes you get in a rut and need to take a step back and re-evaluate your gameplan. I wish Mike good luck in the future. That being said, McD is our coach like it or not.

Exactly.

he might have had the offense on track to possibly become dominant(although the ton of yards with no points to show was getting old)

but that defense was on its way to becoming the worst ever seen.

Really, it's premature to say he is going to fail.

Shanny wrote his own ticket off the team when he said "We WILL make the playoffs this year." last preseason.

That is FAIL!

I know right. Everytime the Broncos defense was on the field it was like watching a train wreck over and over again.

He was headed for a dominating O fallowed by a devestating D. Funny how much better our D has looked so far this pre-season over the past 2 years!

[watermock]

So let's draft 6 of 9 on offense, trade our 2 young offensive probowlers and a top 10 pick in '10 for a nickle corner..

Absolutely, but do we really think that a guy who has absolutely no headcoaching experience at any level is going to come in here and be a lot better than a headcoaching legend?
