Donk Fans’ adulation for swag was perhaps the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. Not sure how so many people can share such a complete lack of perspective. [Reply]

Swag is talented but unfortunately he has mental or emotional problems that he's dealing with. [Reply]
So much for winning a SB behind an average D. That switch the the 4-3 really helped your run D.
LOL
Epic Choke job. At least it wasn't at home this time. Used to be back in the Alice days when the only way you could win a game was if the team started a backup QB. Now you are losing to them even with your new shiny toy putting up over 400 yards passing.
Hey Royce, Tenn Scored too fast.
The funny thing is that Tenn handed you guys OT by using that stupid squib kick play and then only rushing 2 guys allowing you into FG range in one play.
Only one team is going to the playoffs out of the AFC West this year. I'm sure all of these issues will be taken care of before the playoffs start right? Now is the perfect time to go 2-4...
Thank god for that fluke fumble return vs the Lions or you would only be a half game up on the Faid. [Reply]

According to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, Broncos coach Vic Fangio has had a "difficult time" connecting with players and coaches, leading to "internal tension" within the organization.
Fangio's debut season in Denver has largely been a disaster as the first-time head coach has reportedly rubbed many the wrong way with his "gruff demeanor," creating a tense atmosphere characterized by "internal strife." Per La Canfora has often been at odds with his assistants, continually disputing play-calls while coming off as "overbearing on the headsets." Many in the organization feel Fangio lacks "people skills," making for a "difficult climate." Fangio's hard-nosed approach reportedly alienated Emmanuel Sanders, who "in essence walked out on the team" prior to being traded. Beleaguered GM John Elway whiffed on Vance Joseph and the move to Fangio doesn't seem to be going much better.

Fangio, long considered one of the elite defensive minds in football and a highly-successful coordinator, is a head coach for the first time at age 61, and that transition has been rough, the sources said. His defense has been strong, but the team sits at 3-6, and there has been plenty of internal strife.
Fangio has had issues with offensive assistants, the sources said, and at one point top receiver*Emmanuel Sanders*in essence walked out on the team, leading to his eventual trade. Lines of communication have been strained, and Fangio has been quick to dispute play calls and come across as overbearing on the headsets, sources said, which has created issues in-game and otherwise.
"There is a negative reaction to almost every offensive play call," said one source with knowledge of the situation.
Other sources noted a disconnect between the offense and defense as well, with Fangio's "people skills," in their minds, lacking. There is almost no discussion beyond football, sources said, and that, coupled with some staff and personnel issues as well as lingering angst over an eventual sale of this franchise, has created a difficult climate around the team.
"Pretty much everyone gets treated like (crap)," said one source with knowledge of the situation, "but if anything I think it's brought the (coaches) on offense closer together."
There were questions as to how well veteran quarterback*Joe Flacco*fit the offense at this stage of his career, as he lacks mobility, was stuck behind a poor pass-protecting line and unable to operate with a moving pocket and the boots and waggles emphasized in the offense. First-time starter*Brandon Allen*executed more of those staples last week with Flacco out for the season.
General manager John Elway, who has churned through coaches since taking over, is under increasing pressure in recent years with drafts, trades and free-agent signings often not panning out. Denver could be headed to its third straight losing season, something that has happened only once since the move from the AFL to the*NFL*in 1970 (1970-73).
The Flacco trade was a bust, recent first-round pick Garret Bolles has been woeful at tackle and the free-agent signing of*Ja'Wuan James*at the other tackle spot has been roundly panned this season as well. Elway's difficultly identifying quarterbacks and offensive linemen in particular has set the franchise back. Elway and team president Joe Ellis essentially have autonomy to run the club as it operates within the trust set up by late owner Pat Bowlen, though by 2021 some league and ownership sources believe this team could be positioned for sale pending the various lawsuits it is facing from Bowlen's heirs.
