This line is actually better, much better than they played yesterday. They just had a very bad game, injuries caught up to them. We knee the rookie mountain would struggle with fast, small defensive ends. A good coach sees this and adjusts, and Roman did not adjust. Even the receivers are good enough, but using them properly, using routes designed to beat zones, get people open is the key. Roman does none of these things. As I said, this offense has gotten worse as the season has progressed, it is not as if the defenses have gotten better, quite the opposite in fact. Yes, the evidence is clear, even Harbs, the Biscuit have to see it, Roman has to go. Defenses are keeping their safeties with in 15 yards of the los, linebackers within 8. That makes it very difficult to run consistently. Before yesterday they would have to blitz to beat this offensive line, even then, the pass blocking held. The issue with the passing game was either poor route combos, or a qb who could not throw on time because he was confused, or could not throw accurately, leaving no yak. We saw proof of that at times yesterday. Huntley got the ball out quickly, timely, and accurately to provide yak. Is he the end all, certainly not. But he deserves a chance to show that this offense can score. You look at other games, Goff for crying out loud put up yards and points. Offenses see safeties 15 yards deep, linebackers 10, making it easier to not just run the ball, but have space for underneath routes, for yak. So that when there is a 5 yard pass, the receiver doesn't have 5 guys tackling him right away. The line will be fine, but they need help getting those back 7 to back off, it's all Roman.

The offense was not going to be denied on the last drive. 2 4th down conversions, despite the coaches, every player showed true grit, where was John Wayne when you need him to kick the snot out of Roman..... The defense, came through, only giving up 9 pts, even with 2 turnovers by the offense. Good thing they played against the Broncos or else.. The coverage on their game ending drive, eek, 2 more yards and it would have been a loss...

Thigh bruise for Queen, thankfully

Robinson, love his effort, his steady hands, but man, on two of his catches as he tried to get every last yard possible, he had that ball swinging everywhere, I thought for sure a defender was going to knock it out. He also tends to, as do all of the receivers, drift his routes into other routes. This has to be addressed by the supposed miracle workers who work with our receivers. Not sold on them if they are the ones teaching how to run these pathetic routes. I mean who doesn't know that against zone, you run to and stay in the openings of a zone?

Yeah, could just be a deep thigh bruise, Ala Charlie horse

The ugliest of wins thanks to horrible play calling. A coach's job is to put his players in a position to succeed. Not having anyone chip on the left side to help your rookie tackle (who normally plays right tackle) is inexcusable. That reverse pass is speechless. Not running off the tackle the size of a mountain, pounding their smaller defensive tackles is just stupid. The offensive line for what ever reason could not pass block, I think they all had at least one pressure on them. I've never seen a line so bad and this line, this year was good. So what happened? Denver is not That good in the front 4. This offense has gotten worse as the season has progressed; Roman clearly has to go, sooner rather than later. Did you notice how quickly Huntley got the ball out? How receivers were able to get yak? I would love to see him get all of the first team reps this week and start next next week. Maybe Lamar can learn something. I do hope Lamar is not hurt badly.

With a hit like that, I wonder if he broke his femur, not easy to do but his reaction scares me..

I'm done for now. There is no reason to call that horribly run, obvious play especially against a team playing zone defense from that part of the field! They don't have to cover so much behind them because the end line is so close. Fire Roman after the game

Hamilton is down again

This game is over, Denver wins the only question is by how much

Proof, final proof that Roman should be fired. You don't call that play when you are marching down the field for only the 2nd time in the game

ANOTHER STUPID PLAY CALL, END AROUND PASS THAT NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN, TERRIBLE RUN, THROWN INTO 4 DDFENDERS PLAYING ZONE, PICKED OFF

Huntely on a qb draw, gets the first down

Huntely to Likely for 3, 4th and 2

4th quarter, 3rd & 5, Broncos up 9-3

Huntely scrambles for 13 1st down

Huntley dumps it off to Richard who boblles it for no gain

Stone and Queen make a stop on a short pass, force a 50 yard field goal... it is good, 9-3 Denver good hold by the defense
