No prob, but you may as well be honest with yourself about it, right?

Right. Just letting my emotions out on the keyboard rather than the wall.

Fans this morning: "The Broncos are a paper tiger! They haven't played any quality teams!"

Fans tonight: "Hey, no shame losing to a good team."

I think that's an element of the problem, but only a small part of the problem.

Even if we hunkered down and figured out what we are offensively, it still leaves us with that gaping problem of not knowing how to finish -- which clearly seems to be a problem if you take Bradie James' quote at face value.

I didn't here the quote by Bradie,something tells me that it wasn't what alot of us want to here.Finishing was something this team had to learn to do back in the early 90's,I'm not sure this current team has the mentality to learn it.

That's the spirit!

So.

After only four games, you are assuming that the coin will always come up heads, yes..?

I don't believe in the Broncos hype, they haven't played the better teams in the AFC and we certainly did not show up for this game. If anything it just reinforces where this team is at in this point in time.

Hey, at least we didn't lose 44-6, right? Oh, and we've got a cool stadium waiting for us in a few weeks.


Don't forget the pole dancers........lol

Well hmm. This whole coin toss game. How would we feel about that coin landed on the losing side another 4 times or so. I can see it happening because we've won every coin toss from our first pre season game til now.

Broncos doubters Monday morning: "And they STILL haven't beaten a quality team."

I'm not happy with losing, and I'm not trying to look on the bright side

this works for high school kids.. not guys making boat loads of money to get a job done that they spend 365 days a year working to perfect the product they are placing on the field. 2-2 is setting you up for a 8-8 season. 2-2 means in the grand scheme of things thus far what you are doing is not working and still time for adjustments but not going to get you where you want to go.

Granted things are not ideal at the moment. This team has disappointed us all this past decade. But there have been too many times where things just "clicked" for me not to throw in the towel four games in.

It may not happen with this group, Slate can call me insane, Rampage can do whatever it is that he does, but I'm gonna go down with this ship if need be.

Personally, I don't view it as "throwing in the towel" or "abandoning ship"; I'll continue to watch the games and buy the merchandise regardless.

In my opinion, these reactions are more of a "state of the union" response. It's the cold realization that this team simply isn't very good.

this franchise has managed to lose in the postseason 13 times...so why not think that the coin is a double headed one?

It's Jerry's fault.
It's Wade's fault.
It's Garrett's fault.
It's Romo's fault.

Does anyone ever consider that the #1 defense in the NFL just proved to us that they are legitimately #1?
Does anyone ever consider that we're still a very good team, but like the NYG loss, we lost to a better team? and this one on the road at the end of the game?

Why do so many people think we're the greatest team around, but poorly coached or underachieving?

To me, this was a very hard fought defensive game, and the #1 defense in the NFL did just enough to beat the Dallas Cowboys and hold us off at the 1 yard line with our top receiver out of the game.

We're 2-2, and our two losses were to two undefeated teams, both losses coming at the end of the game.

I'm not happy with losing, and I'm not trying to look on the bright side, but unless you are simply deluded enough to think the Cowboys are the best team in the NFL, but the coach and/or owner-gm are holding them back, then this is just the way it goes some weeks.

Washington has an identical 2-2 record, but every team they've played had 0 wins when they played them. StL and TB are both still winless, while Detroit's only win was against the Skins. The Cowboys have two very tight losses against teams that are both 4-0.

I'm not throwing in the towel yet.

This post makes me vomit. We are the Dallas freakin' Cowboys. We don't lose to the teams that just might be better, we should BE the team that "just might be better".

Perhaps, but I still contend it's a tad bit early to make any definitive conclusions.

If we lose to KC, all bets are off ;)

This is sad part...it will take a loss to KC for people to realize that this team is underachieving.

We could bench Romo, put Kitna in at slot receiver and have Flozell Adams running the Wildcat and we still wouldn't lose to the Chefs.

Don't fret. We're perfect against winless teams this year.
