I say give this team one more chance

[VaqueroTD]

I am as pissed off as everyone else, but I want to remind you of the 1996 Denver Broncos. Do you remember that team? They had a great year, looked strong, then got their arses beat in the first round by an expansion team. John Elway was labeled a Playoffs choker, although to be fair, he had at least made it to the Super Bowl before. But that team took it to heart, played lights out the next year and went on to win two Super Bowls. Dak Prescott is definitely no John Elway, but there has been too much invested into this team, I think changes should be minimal and they try this one more time. If they can have another solid draft, try to return as many impactful players as possible, tweak the defense even better, and if they can fix the running game, because the Broncos could definitely run it down your throat. Remember that Elway was in his last years, and all his career, no matter how talented he was, he could never win the big one without a great running game. And our Boys looked like a powerhouse when they were breaking 200 yards every game on the ground. If it doesn’t work next year, then it’s time to make some business decisions and start cleaning house, including the coach, receivers, quarterback and more. But again, I say give this team one more chance to show that they have heart and are tough.

Sounds good to me.
They'll have a difficult time just keeping the talent level status quo with all the free agents.
This draft will be key in finding cheap replacements.

Denver had a great coach...we have a lazy boob who conned both Booger and Chuckles with a tall tale of reinvention....then sealed the deal over nachos and drinks while watching old Hee Haw reruns. Next year is gonna be a S show of major proportions!!!

 

[atlantacowboy]

As if we have a choice. This team is going to stink until we can get out of Dak's contract.

I agree, amigo. We beat all the bad teams and lost in close games to good teams. The Broncos game is the only head scratcher in my eyes. Other than that game we could've won all the rest had he just played a little better and got some calls and some breaks go our way. I'm disappointed like everyone else but I still love my team and I will continue to support them because I couldn't care less about any other team in professional sports.

Till next... GO COWBOYS!!

Did the Broncos spend that whole season beating weak teams and being embarrassed by good teams? Okay, maybe "embarrassed" is too strong. But did Elway and that offense consistently wait until the third or fourth quarter before getting their **** together?

 

[charron]

2022 will be a completely different team.

The offense won't be the same with Gallup, Wilson and Schultz hitting free agency. And that's assuming major changes aren't happening to the offensive coaches.

Defensively we have a ton of free agents leaving. Even with restructures and we resign some it won't be the same depth as this year. And we know it'll be about a 90% chance Quinn leaves. Will the next guy be nearly as good or do they regress?

 

[ryanbabs]

This is so true.

 

[J_Allen]

We've given them 26 chances.

I guess. What's one more?

Dak's contract doesn't hurt the team at all. They did a great job this year in building a roster and turning it into a 12 and 5 team on the field.

No it isn't too strong. They definitely got embarrassed more than once.

Sheeit take a break man. After thanksgiving I was like I’m taking a break after this season. Playoffs happened and I was like yup I’ll watch them next season in the playoffs. This year was hard lol, 12-5 felt like 5-12 with how stupid this team was .

 

[MonsterD]

I forgot who posted it, but they can go 17-0 and I still won't believe they can go the distance. Won't be overly invested again.

 

[HowardC]

I will have 0 expectations next season. I'm tired of getting my hopes up for this laughing stock of a team.

The biggest thing, to me, if they keep the team mostly intact (they will) is figuring out how to get the running game going. That helps Dak and it helps the defense. I won't pretend I know how to fix the running game, I have opinions, but I see too many plays where there is just nowhere to go.

I'm old fashioned so I'd use more two-back formations and less shotgun, but the roster isn't currently constructed to do that. I'm also not sure Moore even wants to any part of that in his offense, which is why I'm somewhat down on him at this point.

You could say that about 32 teams and be right 31 times.
