Ruhskins 06-16-2009, 12:29 PM Denver doesn't make any sense to me this offseason. There problem was on defense yet they decide to blow up the part of the team that was pretty damn good. Granted, McDaniels is an offensive guy and he wants to find his guys but it seems that they are completely rebuilding. I feel bad for Dawkins. He leaves a pre-season Super Bowl contender for "Oakland light".
This makes me wonder why Denver didn't go after Spags or some other defensive minded coach.

JoeRedskin 06-16-2009, 01:02 PM Anyone else smell a 5-11 season in the works for Denver?
But.. but ... how can that be? They have Champ Bailey to carry them into the playoffs on his back....
Oh wait, it was Clinton Portis who did that.

Slow down. It was Gibbs who willed the team twice and Champ has been to the playoffs more and gotten much further than Portis has.

Champ's been to the playoffs more than Portis? (maybe only because Champ's been in the league longer, but not in recent years)

Ok they have both been twice since the trade. The Broncos missed two years by one game while we had a 6-10 and 5-11 in the seasons that we missed. They also missed winning their division by one game last year.
Champ has been to an AFC Championship game. Us.... not so much.
budw38 06-16-2009, 05:01 PM The Broncos visit DC this year ,,,,, Landry knocks Loyd out of the game , and Portis runs for 170 yds and two td's , as the Skins ride the Broncos into the sunset 34-6 !!

That would be awesome - payback for those draft picks and the huge signing bonus down the drain.

This may be a little bit of wishful thinking since we haven't scored 30 or more in a while but we should definitley beat them handily.

2008 – Denver 7-9, No Playoffs, Def. ranked 29th
Washington 8-8; No Playoffs, Offense ranked 15th
So yes. In Champs second year with Denver they went to the conf. championship. One game further than CP and the Skins the same year. From 2006 on, neither team has been impressive.
As for the Gibbs willing the team to win, I’ll give you that in 2007 – after Taylor’s death Gibbs held the team together and pushed it into the playoffs.
2005 was a very different story. Yes Gibbs pushed and cajoled the victories – but it was Portis’ running that took us from 5-6 to 10-6. Go back and look at the stats (5 games: 573 yds; 6 TD and 1 passing TD) and the quotes from the players. 2005 was as much CP as Gibbs. Bailey has not done anything like that for the Broncos. He’s a great corner, but he has not carried them anywhere.
