What's with all the Prime hate from you guys? Seriously I don't get it

OBJ

But, I for one don't hate Prime.

He just loves attention, and therefore says stupid things.

Its about as useful as "pack the paint, make Steph shoot jumpshots" when gameplanning against the Warriors

[Kevin Greene]

I'm sorry, who?

If that's enough for you to hate someone then you probably need to look in the mirror and contemplate your life. 

Oh geez, really?

I use "hate" here colloquially... I don't REALLY hate the dude.  I don't even fugging KNOW him.

Don't be a goddam pedant.

Okay then. It hasn't worked for 17 games. Lol. Good luck with that Denver. Easier said than done.

I have never liked Deon. I remember loving it when Farve ran over him and started doing his dance haha

I'd double Olsen all day, playing man against our receivers. 

Taking a chance? Sure, but I'd be betting on the pas rush, which the broncos will be to.

isn't it funny that after the 19th crack at this exact game plan, it finally worked. 

double olsen, contain cam is exactly what the broncos did, and it worked masterfully. 

They didn't double Olsen at all that game. Talib shadowed him for much of it and when Talib was on a wideout he was either in blocking or covered by one of their LBs. And they didn't even really keep Cam in the pocket, he scrambled quite a bit. Our offense actually moved the ball on them very well. We just had drives end extremely poorly and couldn't finish. Tolbert's fumble, Cam's pick off Ted's hands, missed FG, the two strip sacks. They capitalized on the small mistakes we kept making. That entire game was turnovers and special teams. That's the only tried and true way to beat a team, particularly our team. Force turnovers and get points out of them, and don't turn it over yourself.

at the end of the day, keeping cam in the pocket and doubling olsen worked

No. That wasn't their game plan and their game plan wouldn't have worked either if it weren't for the poor ball security and dumb mistakes on our part, like the drops and missed FG. And them sacking Cam was not "keeping Cam in the pocket." That's pressuring the QB. Keeping Cam in the pocket is when you have your ends playing to contain the QB instead of to rush him. Cam wasn't kept in the pocket at all that game, because there was no pocket at all for most of it. Their game plan was to destroy the pocket. Their secondary is good enough that they didn't even need to double anybody. Talib shadowing Olsen is not "essentially double coverage."

Give credit to Kubiak, he did what John Fox probably wouldn't have done if he was still coaching the Broncos.
