See what happens when we veer off message?

Are we the only ones who saw nothing but this all day?

You know what? We were almost starting to believe. You read the last few posts, we admit it...we were starting to not only enjoy Broncos games again, we were actually having expectations! Positive expectations! And then what happens? The defense craps the field against one of the worst teams in football.

Don't come at us with "oh, the Chiefs were playing over their heads today" or "the Chiefs were just due to have a good game after being terrible for so long" and PLEASE don't bring up home field advantage. Did you all see what the damn Raiders did in Arrowhead? The Chiefs consist of Larry Johnson, Tony Gonzalez, and pick a scrub QB (Damon WHO?ard) and that's it. You stack the line against LJ and you go to work. Naturally, the guy has a vintage afternoon and makes the Broncos "defense" (quotation marks intentional) look like the pee-wee squad from "Little Giants" and even Huard has a mistake-free game.

Ugh. Well, we apologize to our loyal readers who thought we were drinking Shanny's Kool-Aid (never were, we just had a lil' faith in Pumpkin Pie) and we'd like to re-emphasize just how bad the defense is. Jeepers H. Crackers, we didn't think they were this bad. If you can't hold the Chiefs (the Chiefs? The CHIEFS???) under 30 points then you are a failure as a defensive unit. But we've been saying that for two years...we just thought all that was behind us.

The Broncos are one-dimensional...again. At least the one-dimension is a good dimension, but as we saw today, sometimes offense alone isn't going to cut it--even against one of the joke teams of the league. Shanahan needs to get this team's s*** together pronto. For the third year and third defensive coordinator in a row, the defense stinks. Maybe it's not the coordinator...maybe it's the personnel. Or maybe it's the guy who selects the personnel. Ah well. 3-1 isn't a bad place to be, especially since we're one Ed Hochuli and Martin Gramatica away from being 1-3. The Broncos should still be able to win 10 games as long as they take care of business at Mile High and don't throw suck-fests on the road like today's.

Ugh. The Chiefs? Inexcusable.

The Chiefs.

The Chiefs?

Ugh.

Ehhh...you got us there...sorry.

I just got a new backbreakingly shitty job, LPP is dealing with...well, that's personal, and Disco Vic pretty much only chimes in after October when the playoff race is ironed out. Trust me, LPP just yelled at me for missing an update. But I'm off work today and I got a new beer boot, so despite the loss, all good in the hood. DAS BOOOOOOOOT!!!!

Oh, and the Dundee Oktoberfest beer is pretty good, even if you're chugging.

Yeah, it's been a busy year for us all and we update when we can. Though I would love to write a story about John Elway marrying a former Oakland Raider cheerleader, I just can't find the time.
Like Disco Vic, this year isn't pulling me in just yet. The Broncos defense sucks worse than ever before. Even in the games we win, it sucks!

This just reminds me of the Jake days. Even when he played above his head, we'd lose. Listen, one of the greatest games I ever watched was Indy vs Denver in 2005... It was friggin' awesome. Jake scores 31 points on the absolutely dominant Indy defense and what does our defense do, they give up 34 points!

This blows, someone must be held accountable. Listen, back in the day, we questioned Shanahan. Yes we poked lots of fun at Jay. However Jay didn't call his own number, Shanahan did and it was way too early. We have now suffered through no playoffs in two years and maybe three. Pale horseman has not stressed enough, this team should be 1 and 3 right now, 1 and 3!

We can thank Ed and a botched field goal, and by the way, if you haven't noticed, the should be 3 and 1 Chargers have seemed to have woken up.

It still has the potential to be a total failure of a seson and anything less that ONE playoff victory this year will be a total FAILURE!
