Granted, I've hated the guy ever since he threatened to move the Broncos if he didn't get a new stadium, but this takes the cake. Sure the Broncos have had one of the worst defenses in the league in recent years, and are the only team in history to blow a 3 game division lead (let alone with 3 games left in the season), but that's what comes with young and inexperienced teams. I guess the fact that we have one of the most productive offenses with a killer O-line doesn't mean anything, nevermind the fact that Shanahan is a draft genius.
2 days ago, 2009 looked like a promising season. Now who knows what the team will be like with a coaching overhaul (anyone who follows the Broncos knows the defensive woes we've had because of switching coordinators every year). The only way Bowlen could make up for this blunder is if he miraculously persuaded Bill Cowher to come out of retirement (which is NOT going to happen - at least not this year)
To Pat: Please, please, PLEASE do not contact Schottenheimer, but if you do....well then go choke on that ugly fur coat and save the fans from doing it for you in 20 years when we haven't even approached another Superbowl, let alone win one. Don't let the Marty-ball curse ruin a great team - need you be reminded of Cleveland's, San Diego's and KC's post-Marty playoff records? There's a reason why a coach can go 14-2 in a season and still get fired... "It doesn't matter if we win, let's just go play football!" (Schottenheimer in a pre-game pep talk before losing the 1987 AFC championship game)
