Semien doesn't look bad but the offense just doesn't seem good. OL is killing them
Semen is throwing for over 300 yards but they just aren't getting anything done. They get that figured out they'll be back into a second place race next year. [Reply]

Siemian had over 300 yards passing on a bad ankle and no protection from his OL. If you can't see how good Siemian is you are a complete fool. Sanders had a couple drops early in the game and Fowler dropped a go ahead TD pass, he was wide open and it was a great throw and he flat out dropped it.
Siemain had one TD and no INTs. He is a stud and not the problem.
I hope you guys can eek out your dink and dunk to a SB loss, 46 years is way too long.
Mhmmm...
So Denver is gonna be totally satisfied with Semen next year, right? They aren't going to try to put in Paxton Lynch as soon as he's ready? They're not gonna say, "We've got Lynch, but Semen is doing such a good job that we're just gonna play the best QB on the roster."
Siemian hasn't been the issue. They can't run the ball, have no viable TE and the OL is junk. Upgrade the OL and have consistency from the runners... Siemian may be legit. Hard to tell right now, but they didn't lose that game because of him.
I don't know what his long term prospects are, but they have to fix the line. [Reply]
Siemien is faring better than probably most expected. That high-priced defense however has caused Elway to take shortcuts elsewhere, namely the offensive line, the running back position, and the loss of Malik Jackson and Vance Walker has hurt the overall effectiveness of the defense. This Broncos team is out of balance, and has too many holes to play at an elite level consistently. [Reply]

Riiiiight.
I'm sure coaching and management will also be very careful to take in to consideration the feelings of both players as well.
This is very, very important and if there's one thing I've learned about the relationship of franchises to Quarterbacks in the NFL, the ENTIRE NFL, all across the board mind you, it's that the "feels" of your starter must supersede such antiquated notions as "performance", "yardage", "conversion of downs", and "touchdowns"( though touchdowns of the now quantifiable and hidden variety are acceptable criteria for all-inclusive feelings management ).
Elway and Kubiak seem like the kind of progressive, forward-thinking men who can get it done, though. [Reply]
When i was a kid my most hated team was the raiders. It killed me Bo Jackson played for those bastards. Now the team i can't stand at all is the broncos. Neil Smith helped making that way. I dont think it could be said enough, FUCK THE DONKS [Reply]
Wow. I just saw Aqib Talib's sideline attack on a Falcons receiver. How does he not get suspended for that? That's the worst on-field thing I've seen since ... well, since he tried to poke a guy's eye out last season. [Reply]

Nope. Not worse. Not worse at all. Talib was literally committing assault on a guy out of the field of play. I'm shocked that his mom wasn't shooting. [Reply]
