More of us get to watch Denver get creamed. Great.

Oh yeah. Rivers & Co going down, and it’ll be on here. We even get good ol Dan Fouts. LoL

Gawd I hate Fouts. He's such a blatant homer and hater.

Ouch, our OL taking a beating this year:

i'll say the same thing i said about leary-- the silver lining here is that this may actually force them to address the line in next year's draft. . . we're now one veldheer ding away from playing a street free agent, or sam jones. . . with apologies to my man nomad, this should increase our odds of getting a high pick next year, without needing to intentionally tank to get there. . . we are now officially beat up, in addition to being poorly coached and not very good. . . that's some pretty shit luck when you gotta put three OLs on injured reserve. . .

Someone should take the garbage bins away from Elway.

I mean, who else is out there? It's not like there's a brand name center next to the dollar bin rejects. It's middle of the year, beggars can't be choosers. We are beggars and by the way, Garcia is out for the year now too so guess what, another dollar store reject is on the way.

The line we started the season with wasn't an awful line, but we've had a lot of injuries over the last several weeks that have really just made a mess of things.

I feel bad for Garcia. I’m more comfortable with Turner.

I don't know-- isn't that kind of what PS is for? The O-line seems to be an Achilles heel; or is that QB, or Head Coach? Too many Achilles heels to keep track of anymore.

Agreed!
I think it's the OL first. What, we've lost 4 out of 5 starters!? Then it's the coaching. Shitty schemes, bone head decisions and he's in over his head. I'm not that disappointed at QB. How is he supposed to overcome the first two?

I refuse to believe that Turner can’t suck just as good as Garcia.

He sucked before he had this excuse.

Exactly, most of Keenum’s worst moments this year were unforced errors. Ints when not under pressure, over/underthrows, throwing short of the sticks on most 3rd downs, not even seeing wide open receivers to lock on to a guy that’s double/triple covered, drifting back in the pocket vice stepping up, holding the ball too long, etc. Those have nothing to do with the Oline.
