Boy that was rough..

Ok, I'll say it.. That was more than painful to watch last night.. The game yesterday in which the Colts won.. Who did they play??  A Denver team, the broncos was it??  the Denver Broncos?? That wasn't the team that I remember.. They weren't remotely associated with the team that went to the super bowl last year.. How can a team with a defense built to be better that is was last year, suck worse than the defense that was decimated by injuries in that game.. It's good they lost last night, truth be told they were going to really get heir ass handed to them next week by either team that won Saturdays game.. Either the Ravens, who lost, were better than the defenseless broncos or the Patriots who won have a mental edge over the broncos and Manning who is gone..  Was gone in the game yesterday.. The coaches are gone.. This team will be so different this August when they crank the machine up again..  I just want to do some of my own comments to some tweets written by Vic Lobardi :

"I’ll say this. If George Karl can be canned after winning a franchise-record 57 games and named Coach of the Year, anybody’s game."

Yes but that was a different sports organization all together.. The Nuggets aren't ever set up to win anything, they are a tax shelter for the Kronkie family (walmart owners) owners of the Nuggets, and the Rams of the NFL.. Notice the Rams are set upto be about a .500 team, get to the playoffs maybe if the ball drops just right..   Will John Fox be fired??  My guess is since I heard the term "super bowl or bust"  and from before the first game of the season that he had to win the super bowl this year, not just get there or he would be fired, then I believe he will be let go.. I liked him after the Tebow situation I thought more of him than I did before.. I think he deserves one more season but if Manning retires they might as well clean house.. it will be a season in which they will likely lose and try for Mariota next year (assuming he wants to repeat as national title repeat winners)... (just jinxed their game tonight, watch the buckeroos win tonight, sorry Dave)..  

Listening to Dan Patrick this morning he said Manning is done.. He picked the colts to win Friday, as did Czaben and his crew..   In fact I heard more pick the colts than the broncos.. But I would have liked to see what the broncos could do if they were all healthy, October healthy..

One other thought, I have never liked the bye week in the NFL set up the way it is, they start at the end of September and go until Thanksgiving.. Id rather see the byes start the last week of October and be finished the first weekend of November.. That's right have the entire NFC take  a powder  one week and the AFC the next week.. And let the tv networks get their matchups set that way.. This year FOX had AFC vs. AFC games on, as did CBS with the NFC.. To me that just makes more sense.. Some teams benefit from earlier byes and others get on a roll and then the bye shuts that down.. I say split the season in half, try to go break at the 8 week mark or as close as you can for both conferences..
