Broncospy: The mistake by the flake

1. Drew,

   You are so right-on-the-money. Everyone knows that Bowlen doesn’t like to be embarrassed. I just don’t understand why he hasn’t taken any action, and fired McDaniels by now. It certainly would be worth paying him whatever his contract states – plus what he still owes Shanahan – to get rid of McDaniels and save the “face” of the Bronco organization. If something doesn’t happen soon, I fear we will hear that train a comin’ round the bend – before the end of the season.

2. I am beginning to believe that Pat Bowlen has a serious illness (maybe dealing with his memory). He has been noticeably absent this year. He did do the interview with Woody Page saying his short term memory is not what it used to be. Why else would he let all this happen to a team he loves.

3. Before you go judging Josh too harshly, read what Peter King had to say in his Monday Morning Quarterback column on CNNSI.com today: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/peter_king/11/28/week-12-monday-morning-qb/index.html

   I’m no real fan of Josh; I think that the Tebow signing was ill-advised, along with a few other coaching errors; but this did give me some pause for thought.

4. Harry,

   I read the same article. My take on it was different than yours. It made me aware of how serious it is to tape a walk through. Alfred Williams touched on it as well last night in Overtime on 9 news. People may like McDaniels personally, which is great. I felt that way about Wade Philips. But does that mean he should be a head coach. I don’t think so.

5. McDaniels only chance for coaching the Broncos next season is if the owners vote to lock out the players which will result in a throw-away season. There will be some sort of coaching changes next season regardless because someone on McDaniels’ staff seems to be engineering a coup d’état.

6. I’ll say it again, I really don’t think that you will see a firing of the head coach (he does not deserve to have his name said) until he has the contract of Shannahan off of his budget. There is now way that Bowlen will pay for 3 head coaches. Shanny, McDingus, and the Future HC. its just not going to happen. Bowlen has already come out and said he still supports him.

   As a Huge Bronco fan, I find it sick and disrespectful to the team to keep him. we are statically the worst defensive team in the NFL. We have no pass rush, he have had 5 defensive coord. in the last 5 years, that is way too much change for our players and too many of the wrong guys in the wrong system. There needs to be a constant at the coaching level. We need to draft better and QUIT drafting offensive players. You might as well wave the white flag and start grooming the future of the Broncos and play Tebow now and get some reps in games time speed. I would rather see losses come from the future of the Broncos knowing its a learning curve then watching losses come from the “first team vets”

   We all bleed orange and blue, but its hard to stay that way when all you see is red blood from the murdering you see every single weekend.

7. 2 seasons of Josh McDaniels makes me long for the days of Mike Shanahan. Thanks Josh!

8. To: Brandon,

   2 seasons of Josh McDaniels has me longing for the days of Lou Sabin (you may need to go to Wikipedia to find out who he was.) back in the day when 5-8-1 was considered a good season for Denver.

9. Good Morning from Omaha,

   I guess the Mickey D’s baggage is really ugly.

   I honestly thought he could coach, and had a future with the Bronco’s.

   I guess working with a defense attorney or being naive and always looking for the good in everyone

   has put rose colored glasses over my eyes.

   If you are going to cheat on a test you cheat off someone who gets A’s and not the numbskull you

   happen to sit next too.

   A few years ago Omaha almost talked itself to death about a rumored sex scandal. It sad when the

   whole town gets caught up in a situation and can’t find its way out. Bowlen, as K. said must have some serious

   medical issues although its rare for a coach to be fired in the middle of the season.

   the bronco’s will ride this season into the dirt, get up in January dust themselves off and start over.

   Josh will be gone and he will take Tebow with him unless Tebow get a chance to play in the remaining

   games to prove he has what it takes to be a NFL quarterback and not just a novelty act along with the dancing bears and the bearded lady.

   Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

10. Love the Lou comment! Ah, those were the days. Half a loaf is better than none……..This leads us to Steve Tensi. Nuff said there. I guess these are better things to think about then cheating and tarnishing a team’s reputation. Why is a guy who has done this before on the staff? Wish I had the Rocky Mountain News to read.

11. Josh Mcdaniels continues to self inflict wounds on the Denver Broncos reputation week after week. His arrogance has made him the biggest mistake in Broncos history. The stench coming from Denver is not coming from the sewers, but from Invesco Field at Mile High.

12. Dear Mr. Litton,

    Had a wandering thought today about your cartoon. Too good not to share it with you.

    Maybe next season instead of playing “Rock and Roll Part 2” (or as many people think of it the “HEY!” song) they could play the theme from the TV show Dragnet.

    All the best
