Bring on next year!!!
I know this season FAR exceeded my expectations for THIS year (2011)…
having stated that…. NOW I expect more consistent play from BOTH sides of the ball, at every postition.
EFX has a tough job… 25th freakin spot in every round is not where the team needed to be to rebuild… I SMELL a couple early round trades to move up (rnds 1-4), and one big name free agent signing
45-10: Ten points against the 31st ranked defense in the league. Understatement of the day (we have alot of work to do). The first thing I would do is let Fox go & get a new head coach. My feeling is Fox had nothing to do with the Broncos success. All he did was walk the side line chewing on his tongue. After all that said it was fun while it lasted. Lets work on getting some good defense linemen at the draft & never stop looking for a QB. Don’t forget we still have Adam Weber.
