Football Donkeys in free fall

**buddha** · 08-31-2009, 11:37 AM

If this has been discussed in an earlier thread, my apologies.

Cutler just abused Denver last night...it was a thing of freaking beauty. I'll be the first one to say that Cutler and the Donks both screwed up this summer, resulting in the trade to Chicago where Denver got R2D2 Orton and a bag of magic beans for a Pro Bowl QB.

Cutler showed that he has terrific game, an understanding of how to play the game as a mature QB, and he didn't let the sideshow get to him. Chicago has a brilliant QB of the NOW and the FUTURE.

The Donks, on the other hand, have a dinged, sub-par QB in Orton, lots of starters injured on offense, Brandon Marshall going Ochocinco on them, and a rookie coach who is about to flame out in year one. Oh yeah...a HORRIFIC defense that ranks in the bottom five in the league.

I may be wrong, but I can't recall a division having three worse teams in the same year than the AFC West (Donks, Chiefs, Raydahs).

Just wait until SD wins the division with 8 wins again. This entire division is an embarassment.

Orton was 12/16 for 96 yards last night. Cutler had one good drive and was almost picked off twice by us. Devin Hester did the rest for the Bears....

Denial is such a powerful emotion.

90% of the users at the planet would have the same stats throwing the ball on screens every single play.

McDaniels purposely called screen passes so that Orton would not make a complete fool out of himself and have the city of Denver go crazy on him, and his QB.

Cutler on the other hand looked like exactly what he is. A franchise QB.

LOL. Cutler didn't abuse us...in fact we got the better of him most of the first half. Good grief.

McDaniels is calling plays that we need to work on. Mike Shanahan rarely called screens. We still aren't very good at it, it seemed like our offensive line got called for an ineligible man down field penalty every time we ran a screen pass.

The playbook will open up week 1 of the regular season. McDaniels hasn't even shown 1% of what we will be doing all season.

Cutler had 1 good drive. Period. Cutler is good, but he isn't 2 first round picks and a player good. There are only 2 frachise QB's in the NFL right now, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, you Chief fans throw around that word to much... I learned that when I heard someone call Matt Cassel a franchise QB.

You don't even know how an offense is structure, so don't tell me this 1% nonsense.

Stick with quoting others so you don't look like a complete tool.

Boy, all that whining, crying, and booing by the Donx faithful sure did have a huge impact on Cutler's performance/the game's outcome.

Watching the Patriots the past 3 or 4 years that Josh McDaniels has plays that go deep down field, and we haven't called any of them in the preseason. We are playing a very vanilla offense right now.

Is this what you would have said if Cutler had played that game FOR the Broncos last night?

Broncos = Raiders East
