Thread: How do we save the season?

Let's tank and rebuild this thing. Constantly living in 9 win Max pergatory is terrible.

I agree. Some franchises can do more with less, we’re just the other way around. I thought we were loaded with talent and depth at every position, only to find out that only looked good on paper
We need a better GM already, Paton everything I ever needed to know about him, I learned on draft day, Bridgewater, and his inability to address our linebackers and the OL. Well, quarterbacks also...
Instead he added to an already stack up secondary, which is probably the most expensive in all football and the most underachieving in the NFL
Bringing Bridgewater didn’t to this franchise any favors; none!

Have my 37 posts today been a little bit much? Yes, I think that's a fair thing to point out...

You'll have to forgive me I've just been fantasizing about the GM working the phones for Deshaun Watson or Von Miller or some move that will alter the direction of this franchise -- so it's a little disheartening to hear that he's been grinding tape with Vic about how we can fill the C gap against Washington. I'm just waiting for them to think bigger -- but of course you uber rational, very earnest posters will point out the two aren't mutually exclusive, and you are correct.

Thank you for acknowledging my uber rational, earnest point. That's all I wanted!

he's a little in his feels today, but that's okay. . . it's a poor substitute for angry midget content, but at least he cares. . .

That is not even close to what I said.

Fuller is riding the bench so he is about worthless in trade. Patrick is a pending free agent and while he may fetch some value in a trade, there is really no reason to trade him unless Paton expects to be aggressive in free agency which would wipe out the comp pick we would be due for losing Patrick.

Von Miller deserves the choice of playing out his contract here or being traded to a team with some cap space and slightly more wins. If Miller wants to be a Bronco for life he should be, but if he wants a shot at another ring before he hangs up the cleats he should get that option too. I tend to believe that given the choice, Miller would accept a trade to Dallas, we would need to make the salary cap with Dallas, but I think it can be done.

Crazy that if the season ended today, the Bengals would be the #1 seed and the Raiders the #2. That is how quickly a season can change. Given the number of absolutely shitty teams we are not going to submarine past, might as well try and win. They really should start Lock though, especially with TBW banged up. I had hoped he could keep his play up against the better teams, but that is not the case. If Lock flames out then the season is toast, but they should at least give themselves a chance to turn it around.

Dude I think Young starts, he’s spent a season as a starter in Fangio’s defense and he’s by far the most experienced ILB left on the team.

Absolutely, gotta swing for the fences with Lock at this point.

Yup but the thing that changed is the bengals now have a quarterback, and the raiders have a quarterback as well whose always been underrated whose playing good football.

I’d be fine with him starting, he should know what’s going on.

Brown asked to be cut.
I think his sickle cell at a mile high made him nervous and he knew he couldn't beat out anyone here with No QB.

Hopefully Raiders take him back and we kick their ass on his fumble or something.

Love the new ILB and the new OLB is a good pick up too.
Wish we tried to upgrade ILB earlier though.

Just saying that it is proof how wide open the entire AFC still is. KFC has 4 losses and has looked really bad at times. Buffalo is probably the most complete team, but they can be had. Denver can't afford to lose anymore games to teams they 'should' beat though, like this week against the WFT. The NFC is the better conference by a mile this year, so if ever we were going to make a run, now would be a good time to get that started.

The season is saved by drinking a shit ton of beer or alcohol during every game so by the end you don't Remember it anyway and think your undefeated when you pass out. Cant speak for what happens the next day, but its a start

This is true. However I don't know if I want this. I always want wins, but making a run, means more years of Fangio, Shurmur and Teddy. Unless this run ends in a SB trophy, f all that noise......I would rather have a top 10 pick, new staff and reset then make the playoffs this year and lose in rd 1 to god help us the raiders or some dumb shit lol......
