Run, Pumpkins, Run!!!

The game's not over yet, but we might as well start the rant...Gary Kubiak, Buckshot Rosenfels, and the Houston Texans are simply out-doing the Broncos on both sides of the ball. Despite some nice (but painfully one-dimensional) rapport between Pumpkin Pie and Brandon Marshall, the Horsies showed up looking nothing like the team that stomped all over KC last week. This is probably because Houston, unlike KC, isn't an injury-riddled stink-bomb of a team.

The O-line can't stop anyone, the D-line can't stop anyone, and so therefore, the Broncos can't stop anyone. Anyone ready to point fingers at the man who made this all possible yet? Anyone? We've officially gone backwards from last year, and that season was considered a bust.

Cutler looks good, but if you can't consistently block for him or stop the other team from putting up 20-30 points a game, then his development is rendered useless. Meanwhile all Larry Coyer (our former defensive coordinator) is doing over in Tampa Bay is helping them to be a top-3 defense. A lot of people want to blame Jim Bates for how bad the defense is doing. That's fair. But Shanahan did the firing and hiring that led to all of this, and makes decisions like "let's play conservative all year then suddenly try to go for 4th downs in week 15" or "let's punt to Devin Hester again, that last TD was a fluke."

Well, screw Shanahan, he's blown his second year in a row. By the way, somewhere around the 2nd quarter, Mr. Pumpkins caught a glimpse of how the Broncos were doing, weighed his options, and well...

Godspeed, Mr. Pumpkins. Don't look back...don't look back...remember us here at...

LET PLUMMER PLAY!!!
