The guy just has no ball hawking skills. Speed with no awareness is worthless.

I miss Dunta Robinson.

How dumb does giving up a TD or not calling a timeout on that fake punt look now? I'm losing faith in ths coaching staff. And I wish they'd just go ahead and fire or demote Richard Smith. The D can't get any worse.

I've never, ever, ever liked Marciano. I've always thought he was a fraud. I still think so, now more than ever.

How do you fall for that one. Someone fell asleep on the sideline

Like I said at the start of the thread, Kubiak is either incredibly stupid or he surrounds himself with a horrible staff. I'm starting to think it's both.

Tough loss. It would have been oh so sweet to win this one, but atleast we saw the kind of team we expected to see today after they extended their
exhibition season by 2 games this year.
Great game for Schaub: 29/40, > 300 yrds, 3 TDs, no ints. My faith in him has been restored, now lets see him play that way with more consistancy.

[jppaul]

That was a heartbreaker man.

[popanot]

Offense - A : Nice gameplan and nice execution. Can't complain at all with the O today.

QB - A : Schaub was much better today. My only complaint would be he needs to check down to the RB once in awhile.

RB - B : Slaton is our best player right now. Chris Taylor needs to run harder and break a tackle once in awhile. Sad to say it, but he looks like a young Ron Dayne. Maybe not even that good.

WR - B : Not a bad effort from the WRs. Although, AJ need to make more plays and try to break a tackle or take on the DB/S once in awhile.

OL - A : I don't think they gave up a sack today and Schaub had time.

TE - A : Daniels was great today.

Defense - F : WTF... The D is a mess. Players out of position, bad play calling and obviously a badly coached unit judging by the tackling, etc. To give up that yardage 3-4 plays in a row to Garrard at the end was inexcusable.

DL - D : Everyone other than Mario, that is. The guy can't do it by himself! We're getting no penetration or containment at all. If you can't get to the QB, at least hold your position and don't let him scramble right up the middle.

LB - F : We're getting nothing from these guys as far as making plays (let alone BIG plays). And the tackling sucks!

DB - F : Reeves is awful and Bennett hasn't been much better. It's bad when Petey is your best DB. I'm ready to see what Molden or Wilson can do.

S - F : Were they even on the field today? How about knocking a WR out before or after the catch once in awhile? Let's give Barber some more time back there.

Special Teams - D : Kris Brown brings this grade up. Fake punt for a TD, no return game, coverage team never stopped them inside the 25 yard line, IIRC. Punting was nothing to write home about...

Coaching - D- : What can I say?? Kubiak and staff continue to be out-coached. And when DelRoido out-coaches you, it's pretty bad.

[coloradodude]

We scored 27 points and lost. I look for the defensive coordinator to get canned pretty soon.

Does anyone know when he is expected back. Hopefully it is soon. And hopefully he comes back the same. A slower Dunta still is a better S than CC. Brown.

[Big Texas]

Great game. We played a great game. The deciding factor still lies on the fact that we can get no pass rush. Mario is the only one on that line getting anything similar to penetration. After he fights off the double team the ball is in the air.

On a good note though. We took the run away from a running team. Except for the fact that they forgot the qb can opt to run the ball if he so chooses.
