But when the COACH hamstrings his team like that, it is very frustrating. |

I didn't believe any of that and expected more. I just find it now surprising some are dissatisfied with what people called me a "blue glassed" fan for predicting what is happening. Now because I am happy, I am called one who has low expectations. I realize I am smarter than all of you so it is to be expected, but I still am amuzed when it does. |

Actually I based it off of what I thought would happen. Here is why I thought we win 10 games. 1) Favorable schedule. Most of the tough conference games were going to be home games. 2) Last year we won by big margins. This years D looked to be as good as last years so this years offense didn't have to be as good as last years to win games. 3) TCU and Utah had to play us on the road. TCU was breaking in a new QB. Reasons to believe they weren't sure bets for conf. championship. The loss to Tulsa shocked me. I thought we could lose either the Wyoming or Utah game. That could still happen and wreck my 10-2 prediction. Quite frankly, and I could change my mind, I am right now more pessimisitic about next year than most. |

Bronco made two coaching mistakes in that game and he has owned up to them. Both of them had to do with playing the prevent, one time at the end of the first half, and the other on TCUs second to last drive.
I understand Broncos reasoning, 5:00 minutes left, up 2 scores and you are missing your best DB. He did not want to give up the big play, and wanted them to chew up some clock and have to work their way down the field. It actually did work and Hodgkiss got his hand on a ball that almost caused a pick. They ate up some clock, they did score, but our offense had the ball with 3:30 to go up 5 and we couldnt run it out. The next series Bronco blitzed all 4 plays and good things happened, but whose to say if he blitzed on the series before that Dalton wouldnt have found a streaking reciever in one on one coverage? I went and rewatched the game, and every play that we blitzed good thigns happened, they completed 4 passes when we blitzed the biggest gain was 7 yards, the other 3 completions were for 4 yards or less.

Dalton is a brutal QB - he showed last night, just as he has throughout the entire season that if you put pressure on him, he isn't going to hit that streaking receiver. Most likely he isn't even going to see that streaking receiver as he is too busy panicking about getting pressure. If he does get lucky enough to see the receiver, the chances of him making an accurate throw are slim to none.
