3.Cooley was a threat in the middle of the field and made clutch catches. However 2nd half he was quiet.
4.O-line gave JC time to go through his reads to find the open WR.
5.Portis ran tough when their were not many holes.
6.Kelly was involved in the offense making 4 grabs.
7.Mason saw his 1st reg. season carry.
8.Special Teams played very good.
9.Defense allowed on 1 TD.
10.Defense pressured Rams QB and forced turnover in the Red Zone.
11.Griff,Haynesworth,Rocky,Horton,Carter,London all made a impact today.
Thumbs Down:
1.Offense did not score a TD.
2.Defense can't get off the field on 3rd downs.
3.CB giving to much cushion on WR which allow 3rd down conversions.
4.D.Hall getting beat on the fade route by a knowbody WR.(Robinson).
5.Orakpo for getting the Roughing the passer call on a defense turnover in Rams territory.
6.Zorn consevative play calling in the Red Zone.
7.Zorn not trusting JC in the Red Zone out of the Gun. That formation got you down there.8.Sellers dropping TD catch and lackluster blocking today.
9.O-LIne getting out physical by the Rams D-Line in run blocking.
10.Not going to our big Weapons (Kelly,Cooley,Mitchell,Thomas) more in the red Zorn when it was clear we could not run down their.

Who would have thought that Josh McDaniels in Denver would have his offense clicking better than ours in his first yr after the whole Orton,Cutler deal? And their defense is looking stout as well.... I know they played the BROWNIES but hey, we struggled vs the RAMS. A team we should have crushed at home with us having 200+ yds of offense before the half and how many redzone possessions that stalled? JC looked good but our playcalling lacks the aggression that you see the top teams have. I know i will get blasted for this, im just frustrated that Zorn cant get us in the endzone while teams who i thought would struggle --Lions,Broncos,Raiders,Bills-- have done more than us offensively. I know we played the Gmen who have a tough D but SH%%, Dallas without scored 30 on them WITHOUT T.O.
Again im just very frustrated right now. The fk'n bills have outscored us.AAHHHH
sorry

Well if you saw the Denver offensive line last year, and you saw Kyle Orton during the first half of last year, well, that wasn't a particularly difficult prediction.

Now on the other hand, the Denver defense not giving up 10 points in a game yet...pretty much didn't see that coming, even if it was just the Browns and Bengals.
