If John Fox were still here......

I tried to tell Broncos fans what to expect. Vanilla schemes, zero adjustments, gum chewing like a fugging madman, and clapping like a moron as the punt team trotted onto the field over and over.

They didn't believe me. Fox took the Panthers to a Super Bowl in his second year, he'll do the same in Denver. Nope. This is a different league now, but Foxball is still Foxball.

Orton is the best QB they have. The minute he listens to fans he should be fired.

We are worse than Denver, and it's not that close.

I'm not so sure. Denver's DL looks even worse than ours and they have no hope of running the ball with Moreno and McGahee. Moreno may be the weakest running RB I've ever seen at the NFL level and McGahee is just broken down. Foxball without a running game is a recipe for disaster. Especially with an easily rattled statue like Orton at QB.

Denver may end up having a better record than us, but that will have more to do with the strength of our respective divisions than it will to do with the quality of our teams.

lol ok

So, what? You're saying that strength of schedule has no bearing on the outcome of a team's record? The AFC West blows. If you're over. 500 in that division, you're probably winning it. It'll probably take 12 wins to take the NFC South, maybe more and the #2 team will have a good shot at a wildcard. Al Davis will make an intelligent roster decision and John Fox will make an in-game adjustement before an AFC West team gets a wildcard berth.

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
