Kiszla: McDaniels looks like a beaten man (http://www.denverpost.com/commented/ci_16730985?source=commented-sports)
On another dark Sunday for the Broncos, McDaniels looked to be a beaten man.
How does McDaniels regain the trust of Bronco-maniacs?
He appears to have no clue.
The Broncos are a leaguewide joke. If you are going to cheat, as Denver did when it broke league rules by filming a San Francisco practice in London last month, you had better win.
McDaniels has lost 16 of the past 21 games.

The black cloud over coach Josh McDaniels has him looking like Joe Btfsplk in Li'l Abner, but the main issues for the Broncos on the field are the quality of the personnel he has assembled and his lack of in-game adjustments.
Once again Sunday, the Broncos came out of the locker room looking good. For the third consecutive game, they scored on their first drive. For the second consecutive game, it was pretty much all downhill from there. McDaniels spoke of the adjustments the Chargers and Rams made the past two weeks to slow down his offense. The Broncos never seem to adjust back. There never seems to be a Plan B.
Pass or fail: Rams 36, Broncos 33 (http://www.denverpost.com/headlines/ci_16730989)
Offense: Fail
Those 449 yards were good, but 1-of-9 on third downs and only three points in the second and third quarters combined, not so much. And that decided the game.
Defense: Fail
It has not held an opponent to less than 24 points since Oct. 3, and St. Louis rookie Sam Bradford set career highs in passing yards (308) and passing touchdowns (three).
Special teams: Pass
Eddie Royal's fumble hurt on a kickoff return, but Denver's first punt deflection of the year came at an opportune time.
Coaching: Fail
The Broncos (3-8) are in a free-fall, having scored the fewest points of any AFC West team and having surrendered more points than any other team in the league.
