hrdnokd I totally agree with that. Lets just hope the team can rally just like they did in 1997. We were a wild card then.

I agree that the offense didn’t help the D in Oakland, but what about the other 4 games this year? My God, 5 teams have scored 30+ points on us this year, simply atrocious. Either way I’m sick of inserting player B into the lineup week in and out. The depth is a problem we seem to have every year isn’t it? Coincidence, I think not! Simply put, WIN OUT and give the fans something to cheer about!

Hrdnokd. Did I watch the game did you watch the game. The game I saw was the offence turning the ball over. I think it was 24 points scored on turnovers. Were did the D come into play with that, they were on the field all day long. I don’t understand the Shanny haters. But he is a good coach that knows what he doing his record while being the broncos coach speaks for it self. Hey folks the bottem line is this. All teams go threw this. Its not easy putting a superbowl team togather it takes time.I like to see some of you people go out every week and put a team on the field when you don’t know who going to play. If any thing this year has taught me is that one player can make a big diffrence. And every week this guy out or that guy is out. takes a toll on a team. I agree we have not made the playoffs and its sad. But the future looks great.

Has anybody heard rumors about Shanahan looking at the Michigan job? Some fellas were talking about it on the Denver Post website, but I don’t know if there’s anything to it or just guys blowing smoke out their heineys.

hrdnkd, you must be one of those guys who loves to hear himself talk but doesn’t know sh*t. Shanny knows how to bring in talent. Look at all the undrafted talent he’s brought here. EVERY team has had busts in the draft. Get off your high horse. Oh, and a qustion for you- How many coaches have ever won back to back Superbowls? ’98 or not? Go back through all NFL history! ALL YOU SHANNY HATERS ARE SHORT BUS KIDS!

I’d be glad to help ya out Shelbo. Denver made the playoffs with Reeves in 91 but lost to the Bills, Reeves was then fired in 92. The next year at 9-7 they got smoked by the Raiders and floundered at 7-9 the next season, Phillips was fired. Elways #’s took off after Reeves was fired, Shanahan knows his strategy and knew how to use Elway (GREATEST EVER). 1st round busts include Middlebrooks, Nash, Lelie (yes he is), and Foster (can’t even play in Detroit). Mobley was good, so was Pryce, Al was his best draft pick ever in my opinion. 3 guys, maybe 4, truly worthy of 1st round selections.

djbronco88 i would agree with you about shanny not having us focused, its probably more his fault than anyone elses, and i also agree that you have to play through adversity, thats the nature of the game. i was jus sayin its gotta be hard. hrdnokd elway in my mind was the greatest to ever play, you cant just replace him with anybody, im curious as to what you warrant as a bust. maurice clarrett was a a third rounder man and shanny took a chance on him, the only other first day pick i can think of that didnt work out was watts, please correct me if im wrong.(and i dont mean that in a rude way bro.) i mean sure this season stinks but its not over L.T. could blow out his knee(God forbid) but it could happen or they could just lose a few games and if we win out we would be in. shanny was the O.C. in 84 we went 13-3 and lost in the second round then reeves fired shanny. my point is elway didnt win crap without shanny. why cuz shanny knows how to win, and he drafted td which in my mind is the only reason we won those superbowls. as for smith dont you think some of his success should be credited to coach, and i would be more surprised to see him not come back. meaning i think he will make it back and be affective. and Mr.B doesnt take losing well but he obviously knows a winner when he sees it maybe thats why he resigned shanny to 2011, just my take on it. like i said im not gonna hold my breath waitin for a playoff berth but its only because i will be screming at the top of my lungs for my team. and i think we didnt make the playoffs at all after 89.(i think)

Shanahan has been in the same spot now for 13 years, all bread eventually goes stale. The man knows his X’s and O’s as I’ve said, but you cannot turn a blind eye to the terrible drafts and offseason acquisitions any longer. If anyone was counting on Smith coming back this season and being a #2 wide out you really need to pay more attention. Hip surgeries end football careers 99% of the time. Yeah, I remember when we didn’t make the playoffs 2 years in row and we fired the coach. I believe his name was Wade Phillips. My point here is Bowlen doesn’t stand for non-playoff seasons for long before he makes a change. We are spoiled only because Pat Bowlen is one of the greatest owners in NFL history. As for the drafts, only in the past 2 or 3 years have the drafted players stuck for more than 2 seasons. Maurice Claret ring a bell? Being a great player for another team doesn’t exactly help the Broncos now does it? For every successful drafted player I can name 2 busts, HUGE BUSTS, and that’s a fact. Shanahan hasn’t looked so great without Elway playing quarterback has he? Like I’ve said, one playoff win in a decade doesn’t cut it Broncos Country. Beat the hell out of KC!
