The media will run wild if Tebow would have came in. Fox is way too conservative to allow that to happen
armadillo you hit the nail on the head!WELL SAID!
Yeah an int
Garbage stats can be negative too. 2 picks in garbage time
3 picks wooo!
UGGGGHHHH!!!! no FIRE!!!
Not ortons fault .. just fluke … bad judge ment but orton fit it throguh
Can we just give him to Miami
lol Lindsay Jones of the DP said that the Packers fans were chanting ‘Te-Bow! Te- Bow!”
We tried lord but he wanted a real contract
orton is lucky not to have 4-5ints
Good grief orton! This is pathetic….
why fit into 3 people when there are checkdowns???
Yeah Orton finally scores 23.. tebow scored 23 or more in all three of his starts.
what a waste of so much talent on offense. the o-line is great! running backs are good, great receivers.
lay off orton he is trying his best or something
Brace yourselves for a tough season. At least the run d and run game are somewhat coming along.
Doom and Von will be fun to watch for years to come
This sucks but it is what it is
Yep, the d and o is starting to come together. Just wish we could get more points on the board and win one. Oh well.
Man, I’m like emotionally exhausted from that game. Great talking with you guys as always. There’s always next time…
(Or at least, that’s what they say)
Go Broncos!
I wouldn’t wanna be in Orton’s shoes next week
John Fox just did his best impression of Josh McDaniels…Down 49-17 and you still refuse to give Tebow valuable playing time…really?
Nothing said will bother him. He has Fox and crew right where he wants them. They didn’t even give one of the back-ups a chance with less than 4 min. to play. The packages they have lined up for TT to play are on the sidelines.
I dont think the packers were sporting at all … not to be a whiner but I felt like the came out here to embarass us. Dunno if McCarthy and Fox got history but it was evident when they went for an unside after surging up 14 points. Not to mention running up the score late in the 4th. Thought it was not cool but they have a right to do it i suppose. Maybe I am paying to much attention.
I gaurantee if we had aaron rodgers … even with this teams deficiences … we would be undefeated right now … just a friendly guess. TRB
He put TT in for one play in the beginning of the 1st qtr. Man what experience!
Rogers was almost flawless today.
Fox : ‘I told you Tebow wasn’t ready. He didn’t produce on the one play he was given.’
Well, Broncomaniacs, it’s been real, it’s been fun. But the time has come for pain killer and bed. Later!
trb i felt the same way. did not like the way they ran the score. oh well. the sad part is that even though we suck its not enough for Luck. we will still be in the same situation next year.
Yovi21: You beat me to it, I was going to say the samething. Even GB put there backup QB in at the end of the game. I’m beginning to think that Fox is another McDaniels.
I bet that Moreno is back on the injury list.
The only fact that matters – NO PASS RUSH … they DL was non-existent … Rodgers could stand there all day and pick his receiver – but with his skill and arm he didn’t even have to do that – GB had some amazing catches today … Orton is what he is – he didn’t get any help today, that’s for sure … but #23 really is a warrior … and #27 gives all he has, he just doesn’t have much …
I thought the D played well against a potent offense. If Orton didn’t give them 14 early in the game we would’ve only lost by 20!
No pass rush? are u kidding me … our guys were going at him … the man can just extend a play with his legs … not to mention i think doom was held ALOT … we had to rush … but we didn’t have the coverage … no champ aint help.
And yes Moreno does give all he has … he is just unlucky … did u see the way his leg was bent under him on that tackle? yup … hurt again … I like the kid but he is haunted by the injury ghost. Best play of the night was the way he sold the flea flicker. TRB
At what defensive position do you jackasses want Tebow to play, corner?
Jared Crick for 2012
The pass rush was definitely there. Rodgers just handles it as well as anyone
pathetic. all the way around.. Well lets see if we can lose the rest and get luck i have no faith in fox or elway.
Did someone say Tebow should play D? I must have missed that post
sure we need a DT … but I don’t even know if thats our number 1 priority anymore … we barely got torched on the ground … we got torched through the air … and the past 2 games Run D has been stout … so its not a matter of run d. We have the pass rush … we apparently don’t have the secondary … or the Offense to sustain drives … this teams suckiness is a combination of so many things I cannot begin to name one position. TRB
Need to put Tim in to keep fans happy. Sell out this season all or nothing. Either he wins or we get Lucky!!! I’m all for it. Would be ecstatic to see Tebow out there, see if he has what it takes or not. We know Kyle doesn’t, he is a backup for life, has never shown us any comeback winning fire like Elway, put the team on his back and lead them to wins and superbowls. I want change!!!!
Definitely in search of corners. Bailey is getting old, and we clearly have zero depth behind him.
At this point being 1-3, I couldn’t agree more that we roll with Tebow and if it fails, Luck, Barkley, or Jones will be patiently waiting
Wall of Shame, here I come…
this coaching staff has no idea what to do or how to do it. its going to be a long long long season watching them fumble bumble thru the year. we have good players but sub par coaches starting at the top. you wanted fox you got him and it doesn’t get any better
Bay is probably watching from a bar in Texas and will give us his analysis later. Now is drinking time and do we ever need a drink. Good thing is we are only playing the Packers once.
As for the onside kick, that is what winning teams do, catch you out with intelligent plays you are not suspecting.
This season is gone. We are only 1-3 but we werent even competitive out there. If we can make a game with the best teams then why the freak even bother to try and win now with Orton…..We arent even going to come in 3rd in our division! Thats sad god Im sooooo pissed!!
Between thier “win now” mentality, Tebows contract, Ortons contract and multiple factors … this QQ is not easy. Put him in … dont put him in. They were even scared to put TT in at the end because people would read too much into it … or Quinn … this is not easy … coaching is not easy … but someone will eventually have to grow some balls and make a decision … I see said decision coming after our loss in SD … yup … I think we will lose … but like every week … ill predict us to win. And with champ back … it might be possible …. who knows. TRB
I mean McD dismantled this team SOOO bad that a glue together season is just not going to work. Have to start from scratch!!
Leave your defense on the field an extra 6 minutes against Rogers and the Packers because you can only convert 36% on 3rd Down and see if any team in the NFL can stay with them! Either the Ofense helps the Defense by keeping the bad guys on the sideline or you get your butt kicked. The defense is playing with one hand tied behind their backs and the coaching staff is either too dumb or too stubborn to see it. Take your pick, either story fits!
