My personal musings about anything that gets on my radar screen--heavily dominated by politics.

Another Light Post

It's a football day, I guess.

Well, if you can call what the Broncos did last night "football."

Jay Cutler's gonna be fine. But there's only so many times that ANY team will fall for that waggle play. And Cutler got himself hung out on the edge more than once last night. He also made a couple very nice passes--even the late touchdown, which was more run than throw, would not have materialized if Cutler hadn't gotten the ball out to the receiver on the sideline in nothing flat.

But, come to think of it, I don't seem to remember any big time efforts to get the ball far downfield. It kinda still looked like the Jake Plummer offense.

How can the Broncos run for over 150 yards and still lose? Five turnovers; some very stupid, undisciplined play, all around. And, some very uncreative play calling in the second half.

It's beginning to look like the biggest problem with the Broncos offense this year may actually be the guy down in Houston starting make David Carr look like a professional quarterback. Or, more clearly, the problem is that the offensive coordinator this year has become predictable.

I think we saw last night the end of the Broncos Super Bowl jouney for this year. Which is fine.

What I'm wondering is what else we've seen the end of. There are a lot of very smart people who think coaches lose their effectiveness after so much time--and let's face it: this team does not play with Shanahan-like precision. It might be time for a new voice . . .
