Thankfully, the Donkeys pathetic offense comes to town in a week to help fix that. At least temporarily, anyway. Hopefully Sutton can figure some shit out during the actual bye week, two weeks later, so the season doesn't start tracking like 2003 again . . . .
All Denver has to do, when in doubt, is chunk it deep to get a flag. It seriously should be part of their game plan. It has worked for everyone else. Shoot, I bet their WR's will even get to push off too. :-) [Reply]

That you feel entitled to having a good record and can't see reality for what it is when YOU SUCK ASS. We saw. Tried to tell you. You didn't listen. So you are now surprised at how bad Denver is. Not us. One good thing is that likely last place finish in the West that's coming this season, should yield a very high draft pick - but then Elway gets to draft so...:-)
You must have blocked the 70's and 80's out of your memory, that or you are a youngster and don't remember the fail during those years.
At least we won't go 2-14 like your 2012 team did.
Broncos are in a full on rebuild. 1st time HC can't get a team prepared with a bye for a winless team. Going to take at least 3 years unless John goes out and buys Cousin's or Grappilino. Trevor would make a nice backup QB. Lynch is a total bust. Drafting QB's is not a sure thing, you guys will find that out next year, maybe this year if the gods grace us and favor us with a win Monday which I don't see happening.
Surprised they did as well as they did so far this year, now I am surprised how bad they are. What a swing since the bye. Wasting a great D while we throw a bad QB out there and a 1st time HC gets to play Madden for reals until he can figure out how to prepare a team to win games.
Just not good in 2 phases of the game the D can't hold every team scoreless for the tie. [Reply]

The one big play they had on O yesterday was called back because of OPI, the dude was falling down and they called DT because he was trying to keep him off to make the catch. Bad call but they would have missed the eventual FG attempt anyway. [Reply]

And you must have blocked out the 60's when the Broncos were the laughing stock of the league.
Just remember the game in the 80s where the Broncos accused the Chiefs of running up the score. [Reply]

I was born in the late 60's. I remember when we hadn't had a winning season though. Broncos have been in a SB in the 70's, 80's, won 2 in the 90's and lost then won in the 10's.
The 60's were the last time kc was really good. [Reply]

And THAT sucks! They need to be consistent with that call. It is just as game-changing as PI...
I'm of the opinion that if it's light contact - let it go BOTH ways. Like the first TD Washington got against KC. Was it OPI? - Yep. Did it alter the play? Maybe, but IMO Peters was not all THAT much interfered with - his bigger issue was that he jumped too early. BUT, the one Oakland got away with on their 1st TD last Thursday night was egregious. That was the very definition of OPI. That catch is not made unless OPI occurs. One of the worst calls I've ever seen on the subject. Sucks when it happens and it's so obvious to all but the zebras - or maybe it's obvious to them too and they just don't call it for some reason. :-) [Reply]

I remember the 70's and 80's, but MHM said 10 years. I was pointing out that a good part of the past 10 years wasn't all peachy for the Donx.
Why are you surprised that the Donx did as well as they have thus far this year? They played 4 of their first 5 at home (where they are always tough to beat) plus they got a bye. The schedule was set up for early success. I'm not the least bit surprised that they got off to a good start. I am surprised that you and your goofy fellow Mule Toolers were here chest pounding because of it. We all told you that Denver had no real QB, was rebuilding, and most of all was a product of their favorable home schedule. :-) [Reply]

You guys sure talked a lot of trash for fans of a team that was doomed to fail. Now that the Broncos have been exposed, everybody wants to backtrack and say "I knew all along":-)

Why would Cousins want to sign there? Play for a shitty OC and play behind a trash O-Line that can't protect you. Not too mention no true elite RB to take the pressure off.
No way in hell would Cousins sign there. He's not stupid. Nor is his agent. [Reply]

WTF are you talking about . They got Bolles at left tackle and Charles looks like his old self. [Reply]

Dude they just signed horseface to an extension. It's gonna take a lot longer than 3 years. [Reply]

The best part thus far has been the complete state of shock from the less knowledgeable, casual fan who had NO IDEA that this was coming down the pike.
A couple of rock DJ's( local, ABQ )were losing their shit for the entire metro to delight in on the ride to work this morning. I'm anticipating another bump in Cowgirl swag sales, followed by the removal of MANY donkey stickers from vehicle glass and bumpers as the season plows on... [Reply]
