    Siemian throws 3 more picks last night

    Coach Joseph still is undecided on whether to bench him or not

    What a joke, the coach is still 'evaluating' the QB position.

    Siemian has 9 TD's and 10 INT's and he couldn't guide the offense down the field against a troop of girl scouts FFS.

    The Broncos just announced that Osweiller will get the start Sunday in Philadelphia. Not really a step forward, maybe a step sideways, we'll have to see.

    IT's going to be too hard to fully understand this game, but I'll start where it's easy...what is a Super Bowl and what teams do you guys go for?

    The 2 conferences play a 16 game season to determine who goes to the playoffs in each. Playoffs are a seeded single elimination tournament. The 2 conference champions meet for the so-called Superbowl to determine the overall champion.

    11 players a side on the field. One unique aspect is that players play only offense or only defense, not both. There have been exceptions, but not many. So it is a completely different team on the field depending on who has the ball. The third group of players are "special teams" that handle kicking plays. There can be some overlap of players on special teams with offense and defense. For example, pass receivers may be designated to return kicks.

    That's your starter...

    Rant Kiszla: In blowout loss, Broncos Country saw 51 reasons why Vance Joseph is wrong coach for Denver

    By Mark Kiszla | The Denver Post




    PHILADELPHIA — Can we skip the hot seat and go straight to the pink slip? Sooner or later, Vance Joseph must go. John Elway hired the wrong coach for the Broncos.

    There are 51 reasons Joseph should be fired immediately, and only one reason to keep him: There’s nobody on the current Denver staff that can fix this hot mess.

    “I’m the head coach here, so it starts with me. I’ve got to fix this,” Joseph said Sunday, after a 51-23 defeat that ripped the heart out of the Broncos and eliminated what little hope remained for the remainder of this NFL season.

    OK, let’s start with the uncomfortable fact the Broncos quit on their rookie coach during a blowout loss to Philadelphia that felt like a bad flashback to our worst Josh McDaniels nightmares.

    “I can’t keep doing this. I can’t keep going through losses like this, man. It’s breaking my heart,” said defensive end Derek Wolfe, a sixth-year pro who owns a Super Bowl 50 ring. “The whole time I’ve been here, we’ve been winning. We’ve always found a way to win. And this kills me.”

    So maybe returning Brock Osweiler to the job as starting quarterback wasn’t such a great idea. His performance against the Eagles — two interceptions and a 53.4 quarterback rating — was more groan-worth than all those recent Brock-to-the-future puns. If the Broncos are really that desperate to recapture lost glory, does anybody have a phone number for Tim Tebow?

    As it turns out, Gary Kubiak was ahead of the curve. Kubiak quit before this dysfunctional team made everyone in Broncos Country sick to watch. Sunday afternoons in Colorado are now better spent taking the dog for a long walk. What’s the next time fans need to check in? And with the eighth pick in 2018 NFL draft, Denver selects …

    But let’s keep the discussion to the crisis at hand. Could Joseph possibly be more out of his depth? The last time the Broncos lost four consecutive games, the year was 2010, and the knucklehead on Denver’s sideline was doing a bad Bill Belichick impersonation. Although McDaniels never had a firm grip on his emotions, at least he had a clue with X’s and O’s.

    So many things point to Joseph’s ineptitude that there aren’t enough fingers of blame to cover it all.

    What has led to this team’s 3-5 record?

    “The same stuff,” receiver Demaryius Thomas said.

    Week after week, the the Broncos are a calamity of bad stuff. It stinks. And it doesn’t get corrected. That’s the definition of bad coaching.

    Near the outset of an afternoon of endless misery, the Broncos were caught with 12 players on the field. In the final minute of the fourth quarter, they took a delay-of-game penalty, their last of 14 flagged infractions, because their punting unit was a man short.

    Philadelphia gashed Denver’s overhauled run defense for 5.3 yards per carry and quarterback Carson Wentz sent four touchdown passes soaring into the wild blue yonder, piercing the soul of a secondary formerly known as the No-Fly Zone.

    center Matt Paradis #61 in the 3rd quarter


    The Eagles began scoring early, with a seven-play, 75-yard explosion on an opening possession that ended with a glaring, red-rocket salute to receiver Alshon Jeffery in the end zone. And Philadelphia put the Broncos on full blast so often the home team’s official Twitter feed confessed to one embarrassing glitch at Lincoln Financial Field: “Apologies, we actually ran out of fireworks.”

    Everything about the Broncos screams their head coach has lost this team. But if a photograph is worth a thousand words, here’s a scene that impeaches Joseph:

    After Jay Ajayi made the Denver defense look as helpless as those pathetic pixels that digital Bo Jackson used to run over in Tecmo Bowl, scoring on a 46-yard touchdown run to put Philly ahead 31-9 late in the second quarter, linebacker Von Miller trudged to the sideline and sat on the Denver bench alongside 15 teammates, whose body language was broken and as bereft of passion as anything we’ve seen since Jay Cutler departed from Colorado.

    Whatever Joseph told his team at halftime made zero impression. The Eagles took the kickoff to begin the third quarter and humiliated the arm tacklers on a half-hearted Denver defense with a 13-play, 77-yard drive that was 7 minutes and 28 seconds of undeniable proof the Broncos had quit on their coach.

    “I told the team after the game that every man has to do a self-check,” Joseph said.

    The team has no bigger problem than the man Joseph sees in the mirror.

    But cheer up, Broncos Country. The NFL draft is 172 days away, which gives John Elway nearly six months to find a new quarterback for his next head coach.

    I still look at the Broncos and wonder how they are only 2 years removed from winning the Super Bowl. Even though the Eagles shredded the defense, they are still one of the best defenses in the NFL. Sure, there are some injuries, but come on, every team goes thru injuries. We have 3 quarterbacks on the roster that aren't worth anything and we have a rookie head coach that is in WAY over his head. This past game was only the 10th time the Broncos have had 50+ points scored on them, and 7 of those 10 times happened when Denver was still in the AFL. Elway better do something and soon or he might find himself out of a job too, especially since he's the one ultimately responsible for this debacle
