Beaten Like A Dog
Though further analysis of the complete drubbing is forthcoming, let me just say that the Broncos looked absolutely inept. On offense, the passing game was virtually non-existent, the run-game broke down as soon as Anderson left, and the play-calling was completely bumbled. Mastermind my ass. Despite the result, the defense didn't play that bad. Unfortunately they were on the field way too long, which led to injuries, dehydration, and eventual breakdowns. Mike Anderson's early departure may have cost the Broncos more than anyone suspected. A final thought - Why didn't Shanahan bring in Ron Dayne? At least he could have banged for a couple of first downs and given the defense some rest. Pitiful, pitiful, pitiful.
