OT: Other Sports: Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies, etc...Part VI

[Pokecheque]

Yeah I don’t buy that the Broncos won’t be able to find a good coach even after this mess.

 

[quesosauce]

Best in town = Boulder/Longmont or Denver?

yes

 

[John Mandalorian]

yes

Which?

 

[Pokecheque]

This Nuggets/Kings game is uuuuuuuuuuuuuuugly.

 

[Pokecheque]

Give credit where credit is due, MPJ had a very good game tonight.

Am I reading correctly that Christian Braun is a really good defensive player but isn't getting the minutes from Malone yet?

 

[Hasbro]

It's become very obvious that Russell Wilson brutally killed everyone you care about and forced you to watch but that notwithstanding there is a lot wrong with what you're saying.

Firstly, hackett's 'fantastic cast' of jabroni coaches has the team lead the league in penalties. That's not really something you can pin on your mortal enemy RW. That's just a badly coached team. From hackett's idiotic decisions to start the season that forced him to hire a guy externally to help him with those moronic decisions to giving up the play-calling altogether but NOT to the guy he hired as 'Offensive Coordinator' - because, apparently, his buddy he gave the job to - was horribly unqualified to call plays and they had to hand over that part of the job to the only guy who's done in before in Kubiak Jr.. None of that is on Russell Wilson. That's not to mention anything about keeping 'Fumble Gordon The Turd' in the lineup after continually fumbling the ball in crucial situations - he was kept 7-8 weeks too long and kept costing the team - what a joke.

If you truly believe that none of what I just wrote above would 'make even the slightest difference' then there is no helping you. Maybe a 'better' QB should have been able to rise above all of this ridiculous nonsense but it's probably a good thing he didn't - if we had won 4-5 of those 1 score games, maybe we'd be stuck with that moron hackett for another year still after this shitty season.

So I guess I am out to lunch because I believe that ALL of those factors actually DO add up to 'significant hindrance' in trying to win football games. If you actually believe that Paton had the autonomy to not only make the decision to trade for Russell Wilson but also to extend him to that contract and give him $250 million dollars WITHOUT THE CONSENT of those new owners then I guess you and I are out to lunch together because there is NO WAY, NO HOW that those people bought a franchise for $4 BILLION and didn't sign-off on BOTH the trade AND the extension.

I slight difference would get this team a few more wins.

 

[Hasbro]

I know, but he's also an even bigger Huskers fan, so the suckage he has had to watch has been plentiful

And deserved.

 

[Pokecheque]

And deserved.

Right on cue.

The advanced stats put Braun as the best defender on the team, although I’d 100% argue that Gordon is the best; Gordon just plays a larger number of minutes and usually has the toughest matchup so I’m sure the stats do him a disservice. But yeah - if they were really as committed to defense as they claim, Braun would be out there more.

 

[Pokecheque]

Death, taxes, and Josh McDouchenozzle alienating his own players.



Sad that I can't call him the Broncos' worst-ever coach. He ain't even the second-worst now.

 

[dahrougem2]

If the Raiders want to have any success, they will get rid of McDaniels ASAP.

Guy just cannot be a Head Coach. He's not cut out for it.

Oh no. No. No no no no. I absolutely love the hire for them and hope he stays with the Raiders for a long, long time.

Personally, I think he's the perfect coach for the Raiders.

I gotta eat crow for MPJ the other night. He came through when almost everyone else was bricking.

I also hope Braun gets some more minutes. Kid plays good D, and can get to the basket as well.

I'll admit he humbled me a bit last night. Thing is, he turns in efforts like that and he justifies that contract. But just last game he was completely useless. If the shots aren't sinking, he turns into a huge liability. And that's not even taking into account his massive injury history. I'm still not at all sold on the guy, but last night at least, he came through big.

A very odd statistic this year--Nuggets are something like 28th in the NBA in free throws. Like, what's up with that!? I thought Shaq was the only guy who couldn't hit those.

Him dismantling what was an solid and entertaining offense makes him the worst to me. But I'm one of the few that liked Jay Cutler

 

[AvsWraith]

MPJ has read all the shit I've been talking about him. Trying to make me eat more crow.

Like we’re stuck with Wilson the Raiders can’t afford to fire McDaniels. The Broncos at least need to interview Bisachia.

I don’t understand how that guy has gotten the cold shoulder from teams. It’s BS.

And if Bowl Cut had given him another shot like he should have, he would have had options for next year.

He was responsible for bringing aboard my least-favorite Bronco ever (Kyle Orton) so he remains my most-hated Broncos coach by several country miles, but I still think poor, hapless VJ and Hackett were worse.

 

[AvsWraith]

Brutal...

 

[Pokecheque]

Well, shit.

 

[lionsDen]

Yeah I don’t buy that the Broncos won’t be able to find a good coach even after this mess.

If I was a coach I wouldn’t risk my reputation on Wilson. Dude doesn’t have the ability like he used to and the offensive line doesn’t help him

Doesn’t matter. There’s only 32 available slots. And like every other sport, the same five guys always seem to be rotated through a portion of them, that leaves only very few opportunities every year. If there’s an opening and ownership is willing to pay (and there’s no reason to believe they won’t) they’ll have no issue getting someone good.
