Good observation. That is super weird. It just seems they're really unorganized and unprepared and as a result, they're scrambling in the moment every game.

I'm a trailblazer. And an asshole.

I bet he's telling thr OLinemen, "Broncos Country, let's ride!"

That was a Rhule-esque challenge from Hackett.

Yeah, I got weird vibes off Hackett after watching that first game and the following presser... then he brought in that advisor this week... You just get the feeling he is in way over his head. They as a team look dysfunctional, indecisive, and panicked. Even Russ looks rattled. Despite Seattle having one of the worst OLs during his time there, I don't ever recall seeing him get hit so much as he has this first few weeks in Denver. He was always able to move around just enough to escape it... he is getting destroyed tonight. And from the presser I saw from Hackett after week 1, dude sounded like he was on speed.

Just sounds like another guy in over his head. I know he wants to believe he was going to inherit the reins and they wouldn't skip a beat, but anyone that watched his time in Oakland could see, he just doesn't have "it" as a head coach. Also, interestingly enough, what I learned from that article was that was Ronald Curry who Jameis got into the spat with on their sideline. Wow. I was a huge Ronald Curry fan growing up... I had no idea that was him when they showed him during the broadcast.

I know the schedule is already made, but st least for flex games, I sure hope the networks don't schedule anymore Broncos games for prime time.

From the tweet I shared last week... So the 13th worst head coach in NFL history defeated the 7th worst coach in NFL history (going into this game). A win is a win I suppose, but it's also all about perspective. We are bad, but the Aints are worse. I'd like to think we laid some foundational blocks of momentum that will carry into future games, but I don't think we did. We just beat a team that happens to somehow be worse than us.

In the words of the great Dave Chappelle via Rick James, "I wish I had more hands... so I could give [those titties] that video four thumbs down!"

Lol incidental, my ass.

Also, Tua definitely had a concussion. I've got back issues, and it doesn't look like that... and if it did, you aren't coming right back in the 2nd half.

Never knew that story, but sounds about right... I know he damn sure figured our poo out in his stint in ATL.

I've been seeing a lot of articles and videos and such breaking down how bad he has looked so far in Denver... like, not seeing wide open receivers right in front of him, the debacle of going with the FG week 1 instead of going for the first down, etc. He looks like he is being exposed. I don't know what it was about the offense in Seattle, but he has looked quite different out of it.

It was more last season, combined with the Cleveland PI, then the play today, and there was 1 or 2 more catches where he was in good position and got outmuscled for the ball this season, which it seems like happens a lot compared to his ability to actually make a play on the ball.

And

I'm telling you... Shanahan could sign his entire offense off the street and in a week put up 28 points. I used to think dude was just the beneficiary of nepotism at its finest until he ended dup with ATL for that bit and that changed my mind QUICK. Dude can call an offense blindfolded, cuffed, in earmuffs from a remote location in a soundproof dungeon in Middle Earth.

We had a few guys step up and I loved the energy and effort for the most part... but we gave up 353 pass yards and I believe it was 84 rush yards. The difference was the turnovers and that the Saints are a bad team. And the turnovers were created by the players more than the scheme.

For the most part, he has been cheeks. But, as a natural box safety, I don't expect him to perform as well on an island as a corner should. I love Chinn and wish he was better in coverage because he has all the size and physical gifts to be amazing... I just don't think he has great timing or instincts in pass coverage. He really excels in the box and anything we get coverage-wise is a bonus at this point, or at least that's what I've come to accept.

Actually according to Rhule's Presser, we had a play designed for him earlier in the game and they took him away, and then the play he scored on wasn't even designed for him, or at least he wasn't the primary... they took away the primary so Baker checked it down to Laviska, and he did all the heavy lifting from there. But as I said in the game thread, the plays he made today came off simple routes and duties that he could've done week 1 with little to no familiarity with our "system" (KRs, flat and drag routes). So I just don't know why he wasn't playing earlier. He is dynamic.

I concede those are good numbers and there is plenty of season left, so we will see. I just think he has committed an inordinate amount of bad plays that you just don't see many other corners committing on a consistent basis. It would be in our best interest if he is the guy those stats would indicate... From the eye test, I just don't trust it. We'll see.

And yeah, Staley is on the fast track out of there. No disrespect to JAX but after LAC assembled the team they did, you can't lose to them by 28 points.

Well, I'm more than willing to admit when I'm wrong, and I know you watch the All-22s and such (which I'm unwilling to pay the NFL anything at this point for anything), so you may have a better idea of every play than I do from watching the telecasts, but to be fair, I am not judging this off two plays. I'm viewing it off every play I have watched him on or he caught my attention. Again, I know what a realistic expectation of a corner is. I know not everyone is a lockdown. But he has unimpressed me. And the examples I gave were far more than two plays. He got benched in the Dallas game last season for getting torched. And I know this is his first year under Wilks and there's hope because he seems to have developed a relationship with him and Wilks has such a good rep as a position coach. A lot of people are hopeful because a lot of the concern about him was that he seemed uninterested and seemed detached because he was aloof from teammates and staff, which was a big part of why JAX gave up on him... so again, I get it. I wanted him to make it like any true fan would, but I feel I have seen enough that makes me believe he is not the guy that was so highly-touted with Top 10 pick ability. I don't trust him, and I don't believe in him. He makes for more boneheaded plays than game-changing good ones. And yes, you can argue he's holding great coverage the majority of games, but if my corner is giving up one huge play a week and I'm losing games by less than 3 a week, I'm gonna have an issue with that corner. That's where I'm coming from. There are plenty average corners in the league that aren't making the bad plays that CJ has made in his year since being here on a fairly regular basis. And there has to be some balance. I don't expect anybody to have 6+ picks in a season every season, but if he is that great at coverage, he should be making some kind of plays on the ball. You brought up the Giants game saying they didn't throw at him, but name the last time you remember him breaking up a pass when it is thrown at him. Most I remember, he is in solid position but the receiver secures it anyway. Sometimes almost isn't good enough and CJ's game seems to be full of almosts. I still hope for the best, and will continue to as long as they continue to play him, but I just feel I've seen enough that makes me feel he will not ever be much more than he's been. That's all.

As the year went on, he looked more like a rookie, but earlier in the season he looked amazing, and in limited opportunities looked better than Henderson ever has to me.

Yeah, I'm thinking that likely was a big part of what set him off. Once McKenzie went lateral, he should've just went down.

Dorsey has been coaching in the pros for years (under respected staffs) and played for years before that. That's a big, BIG difference from Rhule.
