The silver lining is this should be the season Bruce Allen and Dan finally call a spade a spade on move on. There are soooooooooooo many coaches we've missed out on waiting for mike and Kyle to get it together. It's not happening. Time to move on and I imagine Dan wont let the embarrassment go on much longer.

Here we go.. lol

One thing on this team that isn't a problem is the coaching.

you have no problem with Kyle's play calling that half?

I don't really know what his plan was and what can or cant be don't by RG3. What I do know is that KS is now trying to work with a QB that is no longer a threat to run which forces him into a being an inaccurate pocket passer.

When a coach doesn't have the balls to sit his gimp starting QB down, when he has a proven winner of a backup, you have to start wondering where the guy is at mentally. Last weeks game ended up being a decent game, but our first half was dreadful. RG III playing preseason or not, the rest of the team played in all 4 games, and their performance for 2 quarters was dreadful. Second half was like the one we had during the 8 game winning streak last season. So how do we do in game 2? We stink it up yet again. That is on the coaching staff bud, and always will be.

The coach is stuck because he has to deal with a fan favorite diva QB who will talk up a storm to the media if he's pulled. I think MS just doesn't want to deal with that distraction.

Then the coach goes in front of the camera and puts the smack down on his ass or pulls him for Cousins. The coach is the coach!!!!!! He is paid to win!!!!!!

Agree, and MS/KS no longer have the "we don't have a QB" excuse.

But right now they don't have the QB they thought they had.

He's fully cleared to play, needs to be treated like it.

In the pre-game thread, someone mentioned that RG3 doesn't like running very much (not comfortable with it) and that they're trying to keep him in the pocket more.

I don't know if there's a shred of truth to it but they sure do coddle him.

He might be cleared to play but he's not 100%.

They aren't using him properly.....and stunted his development as a true NFL QB last year relying on the gimmicky Read-option. RG3 has the arm strength, smarts and accuracy to have a better career than Steve Young or Warren Moon.....but with MS/KS coaching may not make it to a second contract.

These first 2 games it sure doesn't look like he has the arm strength or accuracy he had last year.

Amen Bro!!! Not having the balls to sit his ass down against Seattle in the playoff game when he was already a gimp, then letting the player get hurt even worse was down right stupidity on Shanny's part. Kyle isn't the offensive genius he was billed as being. Too much hype in the NFL all around, even with coaches. Shanny came in with a rebuilt Broncos team and with a HOF QB and won 2 SBs, then after Elway left hasn't won shit since. I think we need to really get some scouts out to evaluate potential coaches for next season if Mike can't get it together after our bye week.
