    Default The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Week 6. Will the real Denver Broncos please stand up?

    It appears the clock might have stuck midnight on our magical stretch over the last season plus. The weaknesses of our team our really starting to get exposed. Are these the real Broncos, or is it the team we saw in the first 4 weeks? We have a week and a half to get ready for a weak Houston game. It's early in the year, but I would classify that one as a must-win.

    The Good:

    The uniforms. Seeing the D back on the helmet was sick. That's about it.

    Booker was good too I guess.

    The Bad:

    Pretty much everything. Coaching, Siemian sucked, we couldn't block or run the ball, we couldn't stop San Diego (though I will give the D credit for a much improved second half), and our special teams were bad in every phase, save the two lucky muffs.

    The Ugly:

    Holding penalties. Our entire o-line can go straight to hell for that pathetic display tonight.

    Our defense against passes to the RB. Basically a free 10-15 yards every time.

    Not much else to say about this one.

    Von Miller was a beast tonight. He belongs in the good list.

    We did a good job of recovering special teams kickoffs/muffed punts/onside kicks.

    To be honest I wrote most of this at halftime so didn't add much in the second half. I will agree though that the D stepped up big time in the second half.

    DT has 2 fumbles niw thus season. Bug fumbles.

    Sanders is injured after geted laid out in middle if field and folded up like a chair.

    Sunshine had his shot in game and fumbled.

    Refs and the muffed punt miss call that stole a td recovery.

    This is what I think about the O-Line:

    The good: helmets and uniforms

    The bad: the onslaught of posts from Joel.

    You guys just don't know how bad it is living in the Bay and having alot of raider friends/family. Work is going to suck tomorrow. Even though the chargers win raider fans will still yap the loudest.

    Good: Defense. If it wasn't for this we get blown out.
    Bad: Offense.
    Ugly: Lack of discipline. Turnovers and penalties.

    The defense was again fine without being world beaters. They've now held the 2 top scoring offenses in the league to their all time lows (and there was a safety, that's not on them). That's about all you can reasonably hope for. Anything else is a gift. So they get credit for doing their jobs.

    The offense was beyond putrid. This must be what it was like for people who didn't like watching Tebow, and I don't like it. At least with Tebow, he could lower his shoulder and make LB's cringe. Siemian was worse than a wounded duck out there. The O-line takes a ton of that blame. I mean, that was the worst O-line performance I've seen since our playoff loss to NE in 2012. Somehow it was worse than last week and that was bad!

    I know Kubiak is hurt, but you would think that would fire guys up. It seemed to have the exact opposite effect. The came out like they were shaking off roofies.

    All around on offense it was ugly. We need to do way more with playcalling to hid the deficiencies in our o line. I'm not sure if that means screens or trick plays or what, but we can't be vanilla with what we have, it's getting shut down in a major way.

    Good: Not much of anything. Defense played pretty OK, I guess.

    Bad: Everything else.

    Defense kept us in game. Only gave up fgs except opening drive. For the offense with 2 fumbles, lots of 3 and outs. And basically on field entire 1st half.

    They were over worked.

    What needs to be said? Our line's not just bad, it's SO bad even homers can't deny the evidence of their own eyes anymore.

    Anyway, it's a work night, so I saw none of it, and had to settle for hearing about it from the Raiders fan giving me periodic updates. Yea.
    Oh, valid point. I thought you meant all starters, you should take the time to be more descriptive, don't be shy. Jaded
