hotsizzle shut up. The cowboys are bad, the saints are bad, the jets are bad. Those are teams that have no direction. but what we have here in denver is a team ready for an upward climb. I dont agree with the firing I think this team is set for the future on offense, with the addition of a stud running back.

But Mike knew the deffense was the problem on this team and hes spent draft picks, chaged systems, changed coordinators, even some times in back to back seasons.

But that side of the ball will be a mess for any one to fix. I say throw every one and the whole scheme out. Go to a 3-4 I dont have any great knowledge of the 3-4 or of deffenses for the most part but a drastic change needs to be made and that could be it. And the argument of “we dont have players for the 3-4″ wont work, because obviously we dont have the players for a 4-3.

I say the only players to keep on D are Moss, D.J., Champ, Josh barrett, our DT’s, crowder, and of course dumerville. Im not saying they all will start but they are pretty much the only ones that have shown some talent talent.

But back to mike. I think just hiring a a capable GM, to get talent on the Deffensive side of the ball, would have been the better move.

This team was a SB team in the making????? What games were you watching this season? 21-52 in a must win game after losing the last 5 of six, We lost to both the Raiders and the Chiefs. Come on. We were bad and have been since 99. Not to mention our players were not in football shape, again! Ten years is enough, lets try something else.

Sports center said the chances of cowher coaching next year is slim to none and the 2010 is still unlikely. And for you people thinkin shanahan will go back to the raiders or hes gunna hate us like he does the raiders ur wrong he got fired from the spot from the raiders and al davis refused to pay him the money left on his contract he wasnt sore with the team for firing him he understands the business u just dont mess with a mans life earnings. hes still great friends with bowlen. now me personally i wouldnt be suprised to see him go to the jets or the lions. and if the bairs decide to fire smith possibly them. now i hate to see him go cause like he said the potential was there and all he needed was an off season some D draft pics and free agents and this team was super bowl bound now not to say we cant be now. this teams so young to change the scheme in the off season really shouldnt hurt most of these guys are still adjusting to this 1.

I hope we get a D minded Head coach and we’ll be fine.

GO BRONCOS IN 09′!!!!

Good luck to Shanny where ever he goes

i just learned the firing of mike S : this is the most stupid decision that could be made ! Less than a week after a tough loss , all you’ve got to do is take time and not make bad decisions . This team was a SB team in the building ; yes , the D was awfull at time but nothing that can’t be fixed , whith this offense all we needed was a good D , not a shut down D , simply a good one and at times this season , the D was good enough ( The falcons game for example ) all we needed was more consistency , a few addition next year . Mike is a all o famer coach and we get rid of him : simply stupid !! Do you think Craft get rid if BB simply because NE doesn’t make it to the playoffs this year ???And now , what’s next ? A new coach , a new philosophy a new start .Look at Tennessee a few years ago , they were simply awfull and now ? They stuck whith their coach . Believe me , there won’t be more SB in denver soon , prepare for bad future .Happy new year M Bowlen , i’m sick of your décision ! And whatever team Mike will coach for in the future , we just have to pray that won’t be in the AFC west or else we will be in trouble ! Just 2 losing season ( the worst a 6-10 ) in 15 years , it simply speaks for itself !

Thats right this is not a video game, leave the pass pass pass to madden 2009. The Broncos need a ball control minded coach not the spead O minded Bates.

WOW during the season you all cried for blood now you got it and don’t like it. That is what fairweather fans are not the ones that are griping about team play you guys that want something done get it and then don’t like it. WE GOT OUTCOACHED ALL SEASON NOT TO MENTION SHANNAHAN NO LONGER COMMANDS RESPECT FROM THE PLAYERS THEY DON”T BELIEVE IN HIS SCHEME AT ALL. I have been saying this team has no ESPRIT DE CORPS the definition of this wonderful saying means to believe in your people around you and the plan that you have with everything you got, if you have this you will play harder. Plus I don’t think we are changing our offensive scheme I see us bringing in a deffensive head coach and trying to make his assitant the offensive coordinator who will be running a zone block running game with play action passes and west coast routes lots of underneaths that will allow Eddie and Marshall to catch the ball and run with it. Not run as fast as you can down field maybe you will get open. Not good at all, these three receivers run some of the best routes in the game Marshall, Royal and Stokely let them run a short route and get YAC baby when we did this we won games. When we tried to just throw it deep we got beat.

Now that I sit back and think about it, Shanny goes to the Jets. They are a ground-up project and the owner will give him complete control. The other reason is that the Jets KNOW Shanny’s record vs. Belli-CHEAT and the Pats. The only other possible fit would be Seattle. Holmgren is a Walsh guy and has built his team in a similar fashion as the Broncos. With Julius Jones and Hasselback, I think Shanny might be interested in the job. KC is a complete MESS and probably a bit too much for Shanny to want to clean up.

As I ponder Bowlen’s decision a bit more, you have to believe it is going to be Bates that takes over. Cowher is an east coast guy, so he prolly doesn’t want the job. Marty? maybe. From a financial standpoint, Pat doesn’t have to pay Jeremy a ton of $$$, which is what this move was REALLY about. You put Jeremy in charge, you get a young coach that relates with the players AND you don’t set back Cutler’s progression in the offense. You also get to dump the $20mil/yr contract of Shanny. You let Bates hire a solid staff and bring in a GM. Regardless of WHAT happens, I have faith. It’s not like we just blew up the stadium and sold the team……

Listen guys, shanny lost his killer instinct after the two superbowls…he got comfortable of just being a superbowl champ coach and a guy that can find superstar runningbacks in the late rounds..After 04 season..you could see shanny looking desperate to find the next elway or td…he should have realize that that ship has sailed away and its time to move on. I hope things go well for him in the future..he has been a great coach but bowlen gave him the opportunity to make this team better after elway and td left..and he failed..Shanny left a good core of young players here..so for the next coach who comes in..he should take advantage of the weapons he has left for him. Would love to see a defensive minded coach in..but not cowher or marty…marty was the enemy and cowher will command too much money since we still have to pay for shanny contract..We have the offseason to pick a good coach…keep your fingers crossed for someone that will turn this defense around….Would love to c Jimmy J come out of retirement and coach this team..
Lets just have faith in our team…we have a great young team here …we just need guidance and discipline for them
GO BRONCOS 09
