Yes the penalties were bad, but honestly each time he saved Keenum from getting killed. Keenum was holding the ball way too long, without the hold he gets sacked hard each time and probably fumbles. As bad as the holds were, it probably would've been way worse had he not held.
He was holding the ball trying to make a play downfield. Its a team game folks, CK isnt the only reason they lost.

Keenum too has to play smarter but he was panicky because he was afraid of getting killed. You guys make out like he is operating behind Nalen and Schlereth and the 90s Broncos. They run better but Freeman and Lindsay have been effective too, thats the big difference.
Theyre a liability in pass prot. Plain and simple.

Seriously?? As much as he wants to be, Keenum isn't Brett Favre, he's not going to run around back there and make these magical plays out of nothing. All that's going happen from Keenum holding the ball, or running around like a confused dog, is a holding call because the o-lineman grab their guy to keep Keenum from getting killed, a bigger sack, or an INT. Unless it's 4th down, either throw the ball away or take the check down.
I hoped for better, but it's about what I expected. I expect a decent coaching staff could make him look better than what we have. But we don't have that.
Breaking down rest of year:
KC - Don't think I will even watch. I expect this to be embarassingly bad on national tv. L
NYJ - Toss up
Rams - L (blowout fashion)
Cardinals - W
KC - L
Hou - Toss up
LAC - L
Pitt - L
Cin - L
SF - W

Denver is frustrating. There is enough talent on the team to be in the hunt for a WC spot. Coaching is without a doubt the biggest issue. Vance and Woods should be gone. They shouldn't have let Talib go. Our HC should be able as a "leader of men" to manage passionate players.
I am torn between wanting to see Kelly play and not wanting him to get phucked up long-term due our coaching staff.
KC defense is soooo poopy. Get right game Keenum!
Why is he afraid of getting killed? He's been sacked 5 times and has been hit 18 times, both numbers are about the middle of the league. By this point last year, I think Siemian already had double digit sacks. He's been hit about the same as the rest of the staring QBs, if he can't even handle that, then he has no business starting.
