Active Roster
#1 Reason To Panic...
Same as last year.
Our offence cannot compete with physical defences.
They get punched a couple of times and fold up the tent.
Seattle, New England, St. Louis.
3 physical defences. 3 losses.
Pretty simple math.
Back to the drawing board and time to test some new plays out, and exploit each team's defensive weakness.
I alluded to this elsewhere, and I agree - we play too similar against every team. It's not that hard for the other team to figure out what we like to do. A lot of teams can't compete with our talent, so we win anyway. But if we're playing a team that can slow us down, we get out of rhythm and can't adjust.
Our offense is timing based, and when that timing is off, we're in big trouble (see: pretty much every loss from the Super Bowl on).
This 3-6 team was one of the games we HAD to win or a shot at home field, because running the table with seven games left was never likely, and even if we did that, we still needed NE to lose once.
Now it's much worse; even we run the table we need NE to lose TWICE. Basically, we must win our last 6 or NE must lose 3 of their last 6; both are pretty implausible. Miami's a good team (ask NE,) so unless we sort out our line in the next six DAYS we'll be lucky to win our next ONE, let alone our next six.
I think a lot of it was shuffling the O-line. They weren't good before, but now they can't pass protect, can't run, and get called for more and more penalties every game. I hate to say it, but just go back to the original lineup with Clark at RT and see what happens. Every time we change the lineup, the line gets worse. Call it subtraction by addition...
Watching Manning getting sacked yesterday was like watching a giraffe getting eaten by a bunch of lions. He can't possibly outrun anyone so he just gets swallowed up.
Wondering what kind of pass rush Miami is going to bring
sign incognito. Whats to lose
If the BRONCOS do this against the Dolphins, then I'd really be concerned. Dolphins will be their bounce back game.[/h]

I really think the Denver fans think most of we here do...the D is the key to this game! go fins!
