Obviously a loss is never good. But a loss can be constructive to a team. And if you want to lose a game always choose week 1. 

Good- Recivers were better against the man-man coverage, Cam looks to be healthy (somehow), Running game is still strong, offense hasn't regressed, Punting team was superb, Gano was fine until the 50 yarder. (Can't really blame him on the loss though. Seems to still be elite.)

Meh- Coverage was off and on. Something you expect with young corners. Should improve over time, Oline protection our oline was good until they blitzed. Shula did nothing to help them face it (again), Run defense was inconsistant at best. We showed flashes of last year. And we showed flashes of 2010 (God no).

Bad- Pass Rush. God Almighty we have no pass rush. We need to blitz to bring pressure which leaves gaps in coverage, clock management was putrid and cost us the game. Shula, REALLY? I won't even talk about how poo he was playcalling AGAIN. The good thing is that it seems to only be Denver he struggles against in game planning and playcalling.

Overall takeaway- We will be fine. The issues apart from pass rush can and I believe will be fixed. We played bad, the refs were wearing Orange, and we still almost won with a 50 yard FG at the end. On the road in mile high. I am still expecting a 12-4, 13-3 season. I believe this loss will end up being a positive at the end of the year to see our problems early. This is also the toughest game all year for us and we still almost won. We are fine just need to bounce back against SF

      NFL Free Agency

      With Schoen and Dan Morgan being tight I’d figure we knew this was coming and since he is released, Dan didn’t bite.    But, a quick search says this is at least 80% cap related. They have No cap space and save 8 or 9 million with releasing him.  He has been a captain his entire time there. 145 tackles this year.  They are picking 5th with a new staff and looking at Styles. Hitting that age 30 season and had a disc issue last year (meaning 2024) that did not require surgery.  I haven’t really watched him play but he activated the antennae.

      Did someone say "hybrid" player?

      OK, we are letting our top RB go.  We have Chuba, Etienne, and Brooks.  Imagine a player who could LEGITIMATELY play the slot and back up at RB?  I am sure he'd be a special team player as well.  I noticed him at the combine, and thought, "Here is a late rounder who could stand out as a slot and provide depth at RB. Without further ado....(I know one Huddler who might be able to tell us more about this guy): Navy running back/wide receiver Eli Heidenreich headlined the 2026 NFL Combine for the Midshipmen, running an official 4.44-second 40-yard dash and recording 16 reps on the bench press. Recognized as a versatile, "Swiss army knife" offensive weapon, Heidenreich solidified his draft stock as a potential day three target.    Eli Heidenreich (RB/WR - Navy) 2026 Combine Performance: 6'0" 200 lbs.   40-Yard Dash: 4.44 seconds. 10-Yard Split: 1.55 seconds. Vertical Jump: 35.5 inches. Broad Jump: 10' 0". Bench Press: 16 Reps. Highlights: Showcased as a premier receiving threat from the backfield, having left Navy as the program's all-time leader in receiving yards (1,994). High character.  Smart.  Maybe, just maybe....
