The The Golden Calf of Bristol Mania is not over. What you will hear all week is "how does The Golden Calf of Bristol respond next week after this loss to the Patriots?"

Also, Skip Bayless will blame the defense for the loss, after not giving them NEAR enough credit for the wins the Broncos have with The Golden Calf of Bristol at QB.

Discuss.

well to be fair he did put up 23 points and many of us were defending our quarterback for that even though we ended up losing.

The Golden Calf of Bristol was part of their loss but was certainly not the sole reason.

I think being down, having to throw the football, and being so jittery in the pocket that the OL can't block because you're moving so much for no reason, and then when you do throw a pass, it's so far off the mark there isn't even a player around it, constitutes as a sole reason. Half his completions came off of one drive. That's...pretty bad. Sure, The Golden Calf of Bristol isn't the reason WHY they lost, but he is a large contributing factor, because they didn't have time to run the ball with how much they were down.

Who runs backwards 20 yards and takes the sack? Who?

read-option and power running didn't work against the lions, it didn't work against new england and it's not going to work against high powered offenses most of the time

The Golden Calf of Bristol is going to have to learn how to become a better passer and throw from the pocket more.

I only watched the first half but thought The Golden Calf of Bristol actually looked good this game. He started off hot and was hitting his receivers, although not with the greatest of spirals.

And I am not sure what you mean by this, Denver ran the ball effectively.

they had like half their rushing yards in the first quarter alone tho, so even though they had 250, most of it was in the first half I thought.

but The Golden Calf of Bristol looked good in the first quarter and a half... but the Patriots poured a ton of points on them in the second quarter, and the defense couldn't stop them late in the fourth when it looked like The Golden Calf of Bristol Time might rise again.

Right, but you said it was because of their run game. I am not sure that was the problem. The whole team didn't play well, including their strongpoint, the defense. And the back to back fumbles didn't help either.

what part of "three yards and a cloud of dust cannot keep pace with a bona fide arsenal of passing formations and a great QB" are you not getting

nah he made a lot of costly mistakes, but honestly, when the game was close he was producing. I have a hard time really blaming him for the loss though obviously he deserves some blame... FWIW, I haven't blamed Cam for many of our losses either.

That's because Cam wasn't responsible for many of the team loses. It seem many were quite happy to find something else he wasn't doing good enough to complain about.

The difference between Cam and Tim is, the receivers are already being blamed for Tim's not playing better. The receivers were fine when Tim was coming to work 5 minutes before the end of every game.

But...But...But...How come when the Panthers lose, everyone is looking for ways to put the blame on your QB's back. The endless ranting over his ints and whatever else they can blame him for is amazing.

    • So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...
    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
