this, x1000
their ****ing job is to catch the ball.
Denver is on a record-setting pace - Manning has more pass yard than anyone ever through 12 games; they light EVERYONE up. It's what they do. You have to outscore them. It's the same thing as two weeks ago; when you have 1st and goal inside the 5, you gotta score 7...when you are down 2 scores and have 4th and 2 around the 40 or 50, you gotta go for it (dungver WILL move ghe ball, remember?? 39 yards is the same as 89 yards to them; it's the POSSESSIONS you have to limit - DO NOT GIVE HIM THE BALL WITHOUT SCORING)....when they are gouging you deep , you totally have to start rotating your coverages, as opposed to letting the same 3 guys get hung out in Man Under play after play - we don't have the backside contain from whoever is playing S opposite Berry to do that, and good teams will torch you.
All this is on...the coaches. We could win...but the coaching staff doesn't make good adjustments, is too stubborn. Both on offense AND defense.
that being said, if Houston and Devito can come back and restore the D to something resembling the unit that was not letting teams run OR pass at all...then we could very well be playing the best football of our season here in a couple weeks.
