    overall i didnt realistically expect to win this game going in,and for the most part the O was OK they(ben) missed alot of plays,you would expect the O to struggle a little bit its still new and they were playing in a tough environment.The thing that is really upsetting and disturbing is that the D was given every opportunity to play a good game they were barely on the field and they were atrocious ,no pressure ,no creativity just pain vanilla D made with sour sour milk .. The jet game will be alot harder than we had thought it would be.we need to wake the ****-up. Good Nite All.

    I've got a better idea.

    Why not just forfeit everytime we have to play Denver? Would save huge money on gas, travel, and we wouldn't get any injuries.

    We cannot win in Denver, period. Why even play the game when you are going to play like this?

    One thing is for sure, Haley is not the sharpest tool in the shed and make Bruce look like a razor blade. His play calling is about as pathetic as it gets.

    Then, let's not talk at all about the Defense. We simply have no players. None. Timmons is a waste of uniform. Woodley was no where to be found. And our secondary is non existant as usual.

    But as usual, the local talk shows and the papers will focus on Ryan Clark and Harrison not playing instead of looking at the real issues.

    That god they had a decent preseason because the real season is gonna be over real quick.

    We were 1 play away from getting the W guyz.

    With everyone out, I think we played pretty well. I was surprised how good Ben looked considering the line, Zero Run game, and Harrison and Clark being out.

    The D was against one of the best ever.

    I more concerned with our run game. There is none w/o RM, which is exactly what I've been worried about going into this game.

    The offense didn't possess the ball because of a running game. They were in no huddle and PASSING with Ben milking the clock down to zero on every snap. It was very Arians like

    I think we ran out of gas everywhere....My biggest concern is the OL ,these guys are going to have to play better....Our D did OK ,but Manning took over the game ,I think we really need to consider a switch to a 4 or 5 man front....With the way the Jets played today we better get a lot better and fast of course they don't have Manning....LOL...

    Regardless, Arians didn't do that last year. The offense definitely needs work in the redzone, but they gave the d the fighting chance that they never did last year.

    I don't care who the QB was, there was no pressure on him.

    Bronco receivers were wide open.

    You knew for a year that you would be back at Denver, if Troy can't play without Clark- fix it.

    I'm not talking about poor ply. I could almost live with that. I'm talking about playing like they're scared of their own shadow. Allowing the other team to play pitch and catch all day without so much as even TRYING to rush the QB or contest a pass.

    LeBeau has been a God to me. But it's clear the game passed him by. Hell, he's not even running his own defense anymore. He's running pansy ball.

    You do no Ben has two superbowls and Manning one!!!
    Manning is great in regular season, but teams get him in the playoffs.

    All of Mannings stuff is not always the best.

    The big play change in the game only had 2 holds right in front of the officials. Not why we lost, but that is how close game was.

    Sorry, I was joking. I have little idea as to how those defenses played. Not well enough I'd wager. To be serious though, I disagree. The game hasn't passed him by. He's still a defensive mastermind. It was a tough game in a pumped up, high altitude stadium. We had players not executing and out of position on defense. I think it's a little harsh to lay the blame on Dick LeBeau.
