Yep..with a rookie QB playing his first game with reserve WRs....it was frigid that night too.
Little did the Doinks realize...it was the first of how many in a row?....and counting.
Doink fans can at least see the positive growth from that 5-11 year to 7-10 in 2021...that's a steady 1/2 game improvement per year from their front office. Stellar work.. [Reply]

OL has been a convenient excuse for the fact that he's on track to be the most-sacked QB in NFL history. He's equally responsible. And Denver fans have always overrated their receiver corps. They have no one that compares to Metcalf or Lockett.
And defensively, it's hard to imagine they won't take a step back without Fangio. Guy may be a goof, but he's a damn good defensive coordinator and playcaller.
Then, of course, comes the little problem of being in the most loaded division in football. They could be substantially better than last year and STILL finish last.

That's not what ya'll said at the time.
We drafted another Texas Tech stat monkey, remember? A pick machine? An unhinged gunslinger? That's what ya'll said back then. [Reply]

Well yeah, until the season starts, and then KC keeps the streak alive. Then posters like Knowshit, and MoronicHef will do the exact same thing they have done the last 6 years and counting. Pull a fucking David Copperfield and *POOF* disappeared. I know you and a few others will at least stick around cuz you’re cool like that. [Reply]
