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.
