A phrase long time fans remember well...

Foxy was a very good HC. He just got stubborn later in his coaching career here. But, kind of see that in River too, so not sure if I could put the blame completely on his shoulders or someone above. 

Defensive coaches tend to be spotty head coaches. JR thinks offensive guys get stubborn but I think it's the opposite.

For a moment, I thought this was about John Fox and his "It is what is." 

Can't say I was a fan that far back. I want to say it was the home game against the Bucs the same year when I started to pay attention. I've been wanting to watch the entire game against Jacksonville but never been able to find it.

We've been there twice now and lost so I think it's time to up the expectations and not really dwell on failed Cinderella stories and coulda beens.

We have a core that has the talent win two chips at least....but like Fox...we don't have the staff to do it. Denvers core in both SBs were the same....Fox was what held them back. We are in the situation where Rivera has gathered a SB team but we won't win with him...we need/needed to make a change to get us over the top but....we're not that type of franchise.

We'll be posting these memories about lost SBs until the franchise changes in terms of mentality and willingness to do what's necessary to win. The good franchises recognize problems even in a winning season there upgrades to be made...we'll we didn't and even lost talent with the type of ego I don't think could be measured.

Which is really funny in hindsight cuz anyone but us would be like "lol who the fug are they/who do they think THEY are".

    • The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman. 
    • And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!
    • If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
