F'n Von Miller has a beaver trim on the back of his head

Big part of that is on Dak, though. If you punt it deep, they probably play conservative on O.

The bigger mistake was Pickens dropping a perfectly thrown deep ball.

Both were contributing factors, but neither excuse WRs being 15 yards wide open. That's inexcusable.

The whole team went to shit there. Pickens, Dak, the defense. Like what were those coverages even. You made that so fucking easy.

And the coaches, play calling both sides looked horrific.

 

[kidd]

Well that first half sucked! Let’s see what kind of adjustments are made.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Thank God Tomlin is there so they don't ask Garrett for coaching advice anymore

[Smitty]

This pathetic effort is turning me on Schottenheimer like immediately.

I have to think some of that is a rookie coordinator being too conservative in his first game.

Think I'm out on him, losing this game in a vacuum is whatever, but you're seeing certain things become systemic that are indicators of a poor HC.

Penalties, especially undisciplined ones, allowing the ST situation with this shitty ST coach to continue, poor in game decisions like calling a timeout before that 3rd and 5 instead of letting the clock run a bit in case we didn't convert.

I appreciate certain things about him but he's slowly starting to show why he hasn't been a legitimate HC consideration around the league since about 2011.

It’s only the first game of the season. He has 16 more games.

We're at least two more years before Kellen Moore is hired

 

[Genghis Khan]

That's what this stupid "GOTI" talk gets you.

Anytime they're smelling themselves it inevitably blows up in their face. They really have to stop eating the cheese.

 

[ravidubey]

The last two defensive drives couldn’t have been any more different

 

[Genghis Khan]

Why can't we get this defense right? Other than a couple mirage years under Quinn, we've changed coaches, just about all the players... it's still a shit show. What else can we frigging do?

 

[bbgun]

Killer change in momentum. Reminded me of the fuckup before the half in the "Dez caught it" playoff game.

Is Schoonmaker our leading receiver at the half?

I think it's too early to cast judgment on Parker and this defense, but if we're sitting here 3 months from now with the 29th ranked defense, I'm not sure what the answer is besides just keep swinging and hope for the best.
