Denver's to lose

               There is nothing more frustrating than watching the not-so-good offense of the Kansas City Chiefs eat up the Denver defense. I can only imagine it is even more frustrating for the Denver offense that has to be constantly overcompensating, until it catches up with them.

                A team is a team regardless of which side of the line is better. Any given game, one side can either elevate the entire team or destroy it. Kansas City did not win this game. Denver lost it. This game was Denver’s to lose, because the defense could not contain Larry Johnson and Denver’s offense made mistakes that gave Kansas City opportunities to score. It is not a good game when star players are making mistakes, Brandon Marshall’s fumble and Jay Cutler’s two interceptions. One thing that has to be questioned is how can a team rack up over three hundred passing yards and only score only nineteen points? There were no guts for the Broncos today with their red zone inefficiency. This will and definitely will go down and should go down as a Denver loss.     

                Denver was riding high on offense the last three games and they had to, because if not they would have been losses as well.  Coming down off a high is always hard and the Bronco’s just crashed. Even though this will be marked as a loss, perhaps it is a good time for a team intervention. There is still plenty of time and opportunity for a winning season. Let’s hope the team makes the most and learns from this lost.

  1. Carmen, I told you not to get too carried away with Jay Cutler.  Denver lost the game, period!  Anytime you give up over 200 yards rushing, you are going to lose the game.  KC, especially LJ, were too much for your Broncos today.  9 out of 10 times Denver would whip KC...but that's why the play the games...as Herman Edwards says, "You play to win the game!"

  2. Utopia - I'm confused....is Jay Cutler on defense? I thought Jay Cutler was on offense and he passed for over 360 yards. Yes, Denver lost the game, because the defense could not contain Larry Johnson and the offense had to over-compensate. That is when mistakes happen. You can't blame the quarterback for lack of defense.

    Oh, by the way. Yeah Redskins!

  3. You're right Carmen, Cutler isn't on offense...but he made many mistakes.  The Broncos didn't lose because of Cutler alone...it was a team effort...mainly defensively!  The Redskins won...that is true...but I'm not sure what that has to do with your post or my comment?  All I'm saying is that Cutler is a good QB.  I just don't like when people compare a player that plays good for a couple years, to one who is a legend, a SB Champion (twice) and a HOFer!  I enjoyed watching Elway play...his 4th quarter comebacks are something we may never see again.  The only thing wrong with Elway...is that he wasn't a COWBOY!
