What really frustrates me is....

[TwentyOne]

...that IMO we dominated the Broncos.

Just look at the stats. And just have another look at the game. We again killed ourself. We weren't beaten by a better team.

I can't stand it anymore. When will it start that we cash in games we deserve to win. When will we start to put points on the board so the final score shows the game like it really was? Why are we so inconsistent and make mistakes when we just have to play "business as usual"?

1. Washington
2. Seattle
Now: Denver

I think it has to do with our Offensive Line. We need a major overhaul in the offseason. When we have that we will be THE team to beat.

maybe we will go for another WR but i think OL is were we get the most improvement for the money we will invest.

 

[TheHustler]

Yeah, we shot ourselves in the foot today. You can't throw 2 INTs (1 for a TD), miss a 33 yard FG and beat a team like the Broncos.

It all comes down to the O line: it sucks we lose. Simple as that. ANd you cannot blame just the tackles- outside of LA, NONE of our linemen are playing even decent.
Rivera is a bust; Johnson is a dud, and Pettiti seems to be regressing.

 

[Murph80]

Twenty- one nice remark about5 Zimmer you loser. How do you blame him??

 

[burmafrd]

AND Tucker......

 

[Wezsh0T]

Well...now we can say that we gave up three games where we should have won, but we won two (SD and Philly) that we should have lost. Overall, we are -1 in the shoulda woulda coudlas...= )

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had the ball for 36 minutes +
we ran 76 plays to their 44
23 FD's to their 13
BUT those big plays....
Baileys INT
Daynes run
Missed FG.
Despite all the problems, a 33 yd FG and we win.
ARGH!!!!!!!!

 

[burmafrd]

We need to steal one more from someone just to even things out.

 

[Juke99]

Well, a few things come to mind. I'm not sure how a team follows a philosophy of playing ball control, field position, keep the score close AND has a lousy place kicker.

Cundiff is WAY too inconsistent...we need a money kicker if we're going to play this type of game.

And I agree, that O-line needs a serious upgrade. I've felt that way all year.

 

[canters]

Until we run the ball better, we will not be able to take the next step. Bledsoe, like most other QBs, needs a serviceable running game.

I got news for you - LA didn't play particularly great today either. Did you notice how many times JJ or Barber got stuffed in the backfield on LA's side? I did, and it was OFTEN.

I agree that we may need to spend a high draft pick - maybe even a first - on the O-Line in '06.

...missing is running yards for first downs. We only converted 6 run plays for first down out of 23. Of which only one run actually went for more than the required 10 yards.

We have no power running game to take over the clock and that's why we are losing close ones.

Case in point at the 2:00 mark of the fourth quarter we throw an incomplete pass to Glenn. We must not have confidence in our running game to gain 1 yard for the first down.

YEP Juke the one position i really forgot is the kicker.

I think this year really shows what BP is trying to do. We really are controlling the ball and we are controlling the clock. It just doesn't pay off.

I think - as i said before - with a major upgrade at OL we are a serious contender next year!

Hey...I'm bummed out about today....but we are close...the fear I have is that we upgrade the positions we need to for next year but don't get the performance from Bledsoe that we got this year.

SOOOO...I'm gonna hope for this year...that we get in the playoffs...get hot...and well, who knows.

But yeah, it's pretty obvious that if you're gonna play ball control, field position...ya need a superior O-Line and a dynamite PK...

 

[burmafrd]

I would settle for a DECENT placekicker that can make a 33 yd FG when you need it.
