It was a pretty good game. I thought you guys got hosed on the first fumble, but at least the game wasn't decided by it. Brock is a pretty good player, and I think that Kubiak is the problem. When he is in the shotgun, and when the running game is working, he looks good. He looks less than that, but not awful, when those things are not occurring.
Your team will make some noise in the playoffs. I'm not sure which QB you guys go with, but I continue to think you have something in Brock.
A few sidenotes -
Atkins had a good game, not a great one.
Dunlap is a very strong player.
Green had a money first half and then faded away in the second half (I am used to this in big games).
D.T. had a couple huge catches, and he was blocking like a champ for most of the game.
Ware doesn't look the same.
Von Miller is a beast.
McCarron was fine. Not great, that fumble was hilariously bad.
Marvin Jones is a strong player. I love that guy.
Talib struggles badly in the first half, and Phillips made a strong adjustment. The Bengals did no such thing. Hue Jackson called a scared game in the second half, and the middle of the field was open. He also didn't move Green to the slot, which he used to do to beat Zone or force a strong corner to follow our WR.
Tate is the worst return man in the league. I hate him. Nugent is the worst kicker in the league, and I hope he gets hit by a bus so I never have to see that undertalented peasant besmirch my team's roster again.
Harris had what might have been a game saver against Green. That was a wonderful play, and Green for the second time in the game made a mental mistake. Harris swatted the ball, but it was still catchable. Green has concentration issues, especially late in the game. He's a stud, arguably top five, and I don't want to replace him, but I want to make it demonstrative what I'm talking about.
C.J. Anderson is an above average back who had an elite season a year ago. He is not a guy who can make a lot of plays on his own, which makes him similar to guys like Jeremy Hill. Hill, you might remember, was a second round draft pick.
I thought Cincinnati's offensive line had a great game for about 3 quarters or so. We wore down. Your team did not.
I get the ups and downs of your squad better than most non-Bronco fans. It's a good team. They can beat anyone.
Enjoy the playoffs. Maybe we'll get to do it again.
