Yes they had the number 2 offense in yardage, but was 16th in scoring; never forget that.
That's because the Broncos we're flying up and down the field between the 20's, but with no threat of a run game (7 different RB's who got injured consisting of rookies, castoffs....... and all were trash except Hillis who got hurt) you're going to have a hard time being effective in the red zone.
Even Peyton Manning needs a competent running game to make that high flying attack sht work.
You dont want Cutler back there slinging the ball 30-40 times with the way he plays (Gunslinger style) when the defense KNOWS you HAVE going to pass every down because you have no running gmae.
That sht workd in the first half of the 2008 season when the Broncos offense was putting up like 40 points a game.
Then teams got wise stopped respecting the run and forced Cutler to pass in heavy coverage.
I mean, how hard was it too just ADD to Marshall, Royal, Stokley, Hillis, Cutler, Scheffler , and build the defense up.
Inexcusable. Even if you think this offense is better now, he took two years to "build" it, getting the same production from the previous offense..........AND THE DEFNSE IS STILL TRASH.
All i know was the Cutler/Marshall offense was good enough to win 8 games by itself with no help from the defense whatsoever.
, can you say the same for Orton and company?
Guy was an egotistical a$$hole. Set the Franchise back Years, and there's no disputing that.
