Happy

Still early, but this game is starting to get away from Denver. Can't give Pats* points by fumbling a kickoff. Osweiler doesn't strike me as the kind of QB that can come back from a deficit.

OLine last year was good. We were a top rushing offense. So the coaching staff turns over this offseason and we have what is here now.

Thanks for the info. Happy Veterans Day and thanks for your service.

I suppose I stand corrected. I thought there were discussions about this several weeks ago and the conclusion was he didn't have that kind of latitude.

Wow, if that's true, Tyrod has multiple reasons to be pissed about today. Surprised he allowed Peterman to do this, but it was also garbage time so not a lot to lose if he effed up.

You sure? I don't recall that.

My understanding is Tyrod is not allowed to audible. I thought I remember when Dennison was with Denver and Payton Manning was the QB, it was a point of contention between the two of them. But since Payton Manning is who he is, Payton was able to audible, but did not call his own plays like he did in past seasons pre-Dennison.

Points 4 and 5. Wouldn't hang all of this on the defense. But the tackling is concerning. Agree Frazier needs to get more aggressive getting after the QB; no pressure which makes a near impossible job playing DB even harder. Offense is a disaster; a major change is necessary, starting with the offensive coaching. If McD doesn't put some heat on the team and coaches, it will reflect poorly on him.

This^^^ Why has Tyrod's production, Shady's production, and the OLine dropped off so much from last season if Dennison's scheme is not the problem? Scoring points was not a problem last year, we were a top 5 scoring offense.

Agree. I think this can be attributed to the OLine being dominated. If the OLine wins their battles, containing Shady and keeping Tyrod in the pocket is easier said than done. At any rate, I do think it is known that this team cannot consistently come back from a deficit greater than 10 points. Anything more than that, game's over.

Sad thing is, that would have worked against Tyrod today, just like the Jets game. But NO didn't even need to do that.

There is no tank occurring. Just a second poor showing.

If Woods, Watkins, and Goodwin were still here, do you think they'd be seeing the type of production they're seeing now? We just got Benjamin and did not incorporate him in the game plan today.

Rams are making Woods look like a WR1. I always thought he was solid, but not this good.

It's funny, everyone is piling on Tyrod (though he had a very bad game today) and calling for Peterman. What should be getting attention is the offensive game plans and OLine scheme. Not just this game, but Cincy, Carolina, and Jets games. Look at Shady's performance this year...it's a fraction of his production this time last year and he's still getting the most touches of anyone.

The questions McD should be answering is why is the offense so inept; and it is more than just this game. IMO, the offense is responsible for the Carolina and Cincy losses. Also, why the poor tackling and getting gashed by the RBs the last two games.

We'll soon see if the Chargers are better than us. I doubt your assertion regarding the Jags.

Agree, Tyrod was not very good today. Against the Jets, he's lucky to be alive; Tyrod barely had time to get the snap.

I'll indulge you and say you're right. But it is still a moot point, a QB change will not be made at 5-4 and in the thick of a playoff hunt.

I highly doubt that coaches make personnel decisions based on garbage time performance. Just like opposing teams with not scheme based on garbage time. I will agree that TT holds onto the ball a little too long and does not trust the receiver and route. But how would have NO schemed against Peterman if he got the start? Could have been an even worse outcome. Either way, McD is not going to start Peterman at this point because he is a rookie and we are still in the hunt for a playoff spot.

Speculation. No one can accurately say how Peterman would have done if he started or if the outcome would have been any different.

During garbage time, when NO was nursing a 34 point, I wouldn't read too much into Peterman's performance. Could be completely different if Peterman started from minute 1 in the first quarter.

Sorry, should have been more specific. I was thinking offensive coaching. The scheme has been horrendous.

Did not see the TT post game, but can imagine he's not happy. What type of change do you have a feeling about...QB or coaching?

Look what happened in both the Miami games last season - Ajaye torched us for about two hundred yards each game with Darius starting.
