No it's the same trash. Elway keeps hiring defensive minded head coaches, that are too arrogant when it comes to defense. Joseph and Fangio both want to win games 13-10 or 10-7 or some garbage like that, which simply isn't a reality in this day and age.
They absolutely don't want the offense to outshine their pride and joy defenses. Those two guys are too proud to let offense win you a game. At least that's how it feels to me. Unfortunately you can't win games that way any more. If you can't put at minimum 24 points on the board you aren't going to win. Fangio is just too stubborn to accept this reality.
Until Elway goes and we hire an offensive minded coach, its going to continue to be ugly. We'll get predictable play calling, and offensive self sabbotage, so Fangio can continue feel good about his defense. I feel like we're back in the Dan Reeves era but this time we don't have a Elway caliber qb to bail out a piss poor coaching staff.
Haha. That's sad that you know the play, because if you know it, you damn well know the d coordinator on the other team knows it and can easily scheme for it.It's 3rd and 13 -> what's the play? Ok, I will make a 4 yard pass and you beat 5 defenders and go 9 yards for the 1st down. Ok? BREAK!
It does not. That guy has played a total of 3 quarters in the past 2 seasons. Such a f***ing joke. And I can't imagine that he'll ever recover from this, tough to miss two straight seasons and still be able to play at a high level.It certainly doesn’t help when you make a guy the highest paid RT in the league and he rewards you with sitting out the entire season.
The same Monforts that actually took care of minor leaguers and staff this year? The fact that you blame him for everything is hilarious. (He's not blameless fwiw)
I don't disagree much with what you said. Him "firing" O'dowd and promoting Bridich without any search was idiotic. However I give them credit because they backed him up financially. When majority of owners in baseball are cutting payroll, Monforts were willing to let Bridich spend, even though the results have been a f***ing mess.I never said he was responsible for everything, nor did I say he was the worst owner in MLB (that dubious honor, until recently, went to the Wilpons). I also don't think he's a horrible human being, If he hadn't taken care of his own staff during all this, then yes, he would be.
In addition, I don't think every decision he's made has been bad, both in terms of the on-field product or business. But I do believe he is the primary reason things aren't getting better, and why they've never been good outside of the odd "Rocktober" run. He made as lazy and insular a decision as he could when he finally fired O'Dowd and just walked down the hall and promoted Bridich. Didn't even bother with a proper search, and I believe I read one reason why he didn't is because he's never bothered to network within the MLB community at all. He has no real connections anywhere, no people he's been keeping an eye on and what not as possible hires. Even if he wanted to cast a wide open search, it's possible he doesn't even know where to start.
Creasman had an article in DNVR recently. In there he detailed what the Rockies could or should do. One thing is that the Rox lag horribly behind the rest of MLB when it comes to analytics. Another is that the lavish spending on the bullpen has been a complete and total bust, and new ideas are needed to shore up that weakness. He said without outright saying it, but he pretty much said Bridich should be fired. As to why he hasn't been, well, once again, I just don't think Monfort knows enough or cares enough to really do what needs to be done to really fix things.
On a side note, I also don't think the Broncos will ever get on track so long as Joe Ellis is essentially running the franchise. Until he's booted out of Dove Valley, things will never get better. And yes, I know he was there when the Broncos won it all in 2016, but most of the decisions he's played a major part in have been disastrous for the franchise, including the hiring of Josh McDaniels.
You're watching Broncos/Jets, what did you expect?The NFL has turned into such a horrible league. This is the 2nd Broncos game I’ve watched in 3 years. WTF happened to football?
