Unfortunately, I had the disavantage of going to this game (Ha, that’s the exact opposite of what I was saying before the game!) Our Broncos looked alright but has any1 ever been to Arrowhead? The atmosphere was great. Living in Nebraska and being a Husker fan, (went to the VT game this week also, THIS WEEK SUCKED!) I was surprised to know that pro team’s fans could be that good. Come on Broncos Nation, we need to be louder, so next time your at a game and the other teams Offense lines up, STAND UP AND SHHHHHOOOUUUUUTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (you husker fans will get that)

Guys.. Have we ever thought that it’s great that Cutler is doing great; however, we do need a runningback too.. The play calling is too obvious if you look at it; we had a total of 22 running plays today. We ever thought that we need an hall or young to emerge as a starter and take some pressure off of cutler? It’s too obvious that all a D has to do is drop back and we’re going to throw it; and we wonder why INT happens to our offense.
Hey broncos 14441. I was raised in Nebraska and have been to Arrowhead stadium a bunch to watch the Broncos play. They are crazy down there. That loss was bad cuz we are a better team, but that has always been a tough place to play. I wish the Faiders would have held on at the end to beat San Diego. My day wouldn’t be as bad. Let’s get these next 2 games at home!! 3-1 isn’t too bad. GO BRONCOS!!!
Broncos14441: We need Osborne back!!!
OK, I’m taking the blinders off…the defense isn’t just BAD, it’s PATHETIC. Who didn’t see them give up over 200 yards on the ground and let HUARD COMPLETE 75% OF HIS PASSES?! The 3 man rush doesn’t work, the blitz doesn’t work, we simply cannot get pressure. Elvis has been a shadow this season so far and Champ can only cover for so long before the WR will eventually get open. The interior line is just plain bad, there’s no excuse for giving up a 65 yards run on the 2nd play of the game.
You can run but you cant hide. If anyone cant really see that this defense will be the ruin for this team, your living in Disney Land and your mother’s name is/was Pollyanna!!!! Yes, we were as bad as we think. Add to that, an embarrasing effort on behalf of our vaunted rookies, then you have the recipe for disaster. Next week vs Tampa could be a repeat as they’re masters of “The Tampa 2″ which is what forced Cutler into making throws that were just impossible, even for the rocket armed QB. Patience is a virtue, and he better show it next week or the same fate awaits us. Take what the defense gives Jay.
Oh, could mike please add safties/DT/DE’s to our roster this week. I hate to say this finally, but Moss/Crowder are bums. They need tot hit the road. They’re not hitting anything in the NFL except the bench. I hate change in midseason, but if we dont make some moves, the will be no post season.
Yes, I agree with you HOGblog. It is crazy that Jay goes for it all most of the time. He has so many weapons on the field, he should be patient and take what the D gives him. Yesterday was insane. The offense forgot to show up. Had we scored our average of 34 points it would of been another victory and were 4-0.
I was afraid of a day like this. Our offense isn’t hitting on all cylinders and our defense can’t hold. It was the typical Denver Broncos, playing to the level of their opponent. A Young team starting to believe in their press. In a nut shell they looked horrible. Now were gonna find out what this team is truly made of. How they bounce back and handle Tampa Bay will tell us a lot.
The Defense is so bad up front! the Best pass rusher is Elvis Dummerville and he is so fast the lineman he’s against just uses his momentum against him and pushes him out of the play. The offense will rebound, but the Defense, needs immediate help.
This is by far the worst D we have had in years!!! Outright nasty !!!! Can’t stop nobody !!!!! 3rd and 75 we will give it up !!!send slowik packing !!!
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are D is worse than i thought…… no pressure on da QB and no pass dfence WTF were not goin NE were with this team!!!
I have to agree with many, our D needs to step up. Lately there has been talk of how good the D is at stopping the run. In my opinion, and it is just my opinion, we haven’t really been challenged by a good running team. Oakland’s McFadden, young but needs a better line, San Diego’s LT awesome, but had toe issues so not 10%, New Orleans’ Bush did well against us, and now Larry Johnson racks up a massive 198 yards. I think that our D all around needs to get better, especially the D-Line. And really what was up with coverage on Bowe, Bly?? Champ should have been covering him all day. One more thing, then I’ll get off my soap box, I think Cutler is an awesome QB, the best we’ve had since Elway, but he sometimes acts like “Big Mistake Jake” and tries to force some throws, like the San Diego game when he had nothing and he still tried to force it in. Throw it way and live to play another down. I think that he just needs to calm down, and I know him and B Marshall are a great combo, but as a QB if you really want to help your team win, you’ll throw it to the open guy, not just your favorites. Maybe it is just the way it looks on tv but sometimes there seems to be a guy wide open in the flats but he bombs to B Marshall, and it’s incomplete. Give it to the guy in the flats!!!!!!!!!!! Ok I’m done, just venting.
Sorry, in an earlier post it was supposed to 100% not 10%.
Tony was WIDE open, for whatever reason Jay didn’t read the field correctly. Time to hit the film a little harder, time to start doing your reads again buddy, you’re better than that. I don’t know what it’s going to take for Shanny to call up the rookie Barrett and slap him in the line up. Granted he SUCKS on special teams, but he’s an 8th man in the box that actaully can STACK the box.
I wish Denver would stop being the “Dr. Feelgood” of the NFL. Every year a team on the skids plays Denver and the broncos make them look like Super Bowl contenders. EVERY YEAR! The players change, the other teams change, the assistant coachs change, but still the same problem. The one constant? Take a guess……
