The day after tommorrow, no( Bronco )fans it's not that bad!  After being embarrassed by the lowly (Raiders) 34-20 in the Black Hole of Oakland the broncos' chances at the playoffs have faded to black faster than a Devin Hester kick return for a touchdown.  No, you can't blame (Mike Shanahan) for the loss.  After all he doesn't coach the Defense, he just hired the guy who does.  He doesn't play special teams or coach them either, he just picks the players and hires the special team coach.  He doesn't run the (football), he just picks the runners that do, he's just super talented that way.  He loves pot smoking running backs that have tons of kids all over (NFL) cities.  You are right, it's not his fault.  He's the ("Mastermind") who has great ability to shield any criticisms or faults away from himself and unto others such as defensive coordinators, special teams assistants, offensive coordinators, scouting staffs,players and so on and so on...  Hey, all you Mike Shanahan supporters, you're right.  It's not his fault!  But, if you ask my humble opinion, which you don't.  But, I 'll give it to you anyway.  It is time for a "CHANGE".

Mike Shanahan

No Shanny doesn't deserve to be fired.

What do you expect the defense to be when the players do not fit Bate's system. Give them a year to adjust...

December 3, 2007  04:46 PM ET

Yes. Shanahan deserves another season. Keeping starting that loser Cutler too. That way, the Donkeys will be awful for years!

Wow... an average year and a crappy year, and you are calling for the head of one of the NFL's best coaches? Gimme a freakin' break. Talk about IMPATIENCE...


Anyway, the only one deserving to be fired is Jim Bates, and absolute **** of a defensive co-ordinator. How you can mess up basic man coverage calls with the NFL's best corner tandem is BEYOND me...

Broncos collapse isnt on Shanny. They play everybody tough: beat Steelers, took GB to OT, took Bears to the wire, beat Buff in week 1, they lose a lot of close games. Give Cutler another year with Henry and they will be fine as long as they draft some better people on D to stop the run.

just get a new D coordinator. go sign pete carrol or something. (JK)

No, Cutler will just get better. He is getting better all of the time. They played a few tough teams. I think they will be back at the top of their division next season.

A Defensive Co-ordinator would help, but Shanahan is smart enough to know that already.

He is a class act with championship creds. He should stay as long as he wants.
