I taped the Broncos game, and watched the first quater and half over again, just to watch the starters. Man, Matt Bowen had a bad game, he did not look very good. He was very tentative and was always a step behind the play. In the first semi-long run Quentin Griffin broke off the right side of his line, LB Washington blitzed an inside gap and it was clear Bowen was responsible for outside containment (to cover LB Washington's end of the line). He failed miserably and RB Griffen got a good gain. There were several other plays Bowen was very slow to react. If Bowen continues his inconsistent play, it might be him instead of Lott that loses his job.
