The response I made was to the remark of Cutler and Shanahan being a match made in heaven. Certainly the QB and coach have some impact of whether the team goes to the playoffs or not. Do you disagree? I don't see how they're thought of as a match made in heaven. Based on what? His 37 INT's or their 17-20 record together?

Shanahan the GM got in the way of Shanahan the coach because he had a crappy D and was too loyal to Slowik the D-coordinator. Denver had one of the best O's in the league in 2008, but Peyton Hillis was the last "super-effective" RB they had before they began running on empty and finished 8-8. But yeah, a match made in heaven is total hyperbole.

Oh I agree with you. The defense totally sucked and Shanahans loyalty cost him his job. But yeah, the "match made in heaven" is what I found a little over the top.
