“but even at his worst (cough, super bowl)”

Broncs defense had a lot to do with that, plus the fact that the Panther offense and blocking schemes failed to change one iota from the miles of Panther tape the Bronc defense watched to prepare for the game. Panthers were out-coached and out-played, and not just Cam ...

Not Coach is the problem, here in Denver.

I think it’s squad disunity with all the selfish politics infecting the league this year.
