Orange and Blue Tears Running Down My Face

This is the last time I will post a blog about the Broncos this year, barring some kind of miracle. If the season unfolds the way I suspect it will, then there will be little more to say about the donks than what will be said here. After you read this, consider the 2009 Broncos dead to me. Now, that's not to say that I won't endure watching their games, or that I won't discuss specific week to week details of the season as they unfold, but as far as the Broncos and what they've become (or more specifically, their head first dive into the depths of mediocrity), I shant mutter another word.

Without having played a single game under the McDaniels administration yet, the Broncos are officially a joke. The once proud organization is in shambles, and they're a disgrace. Cutler is gone, banished to Chicago for not being Matt Cassell, where he'll be punished with Super Bowl rings, keys to the city, and pussy as far as the eye can see. Take that, cry baby. The second of our only two Pro Bowl players from last season, Mr. B. Marshall, has seen the wisdom in Cutler's departure and is doing everything he can to take his 100+ receptions a year somewhere else. The Broncos will undoubtedly trade him, and then squander the draft picks they get in return. After all, that's exactly what we did with Cutler.

Do you remember what we got for Cutler? A quarterback named Orton recently seen running off the field with a boo boo on his finger, and two first rd draft picks (one this year and one next year). McDaniel's, who apparently doesn't understand the greater value of a 1st rd pick over a second, traded next years 1st rd pick so he could have an additional pick this year. But here's the best part- he didn't trade the #1 pick we got from the bears, he traded the donk's pick, which means when the donks finish in last place of the entire league this year, thus earning the #1 pick in next years draft, the pick won't be ours. It'll belong to the Seahawks. The only pick we'll have is the one we got from the bears, who'll probably win the Super Bowl, thus giving us the 32ND pick in the draft.

Cutler is gone. Marshall is soon to be gone. Our 2ND ranked offense was completely dismantled and replaced with journeymen quarterbacks, discarded running backs and receivers, and a playbook far too complex for the level of talent that we have. Oh, and our defense still sucks balls. Gigantic, furry goat balls. The Broncos are suddenly, inexplicably, a team rebuilding from scratch. They have no one, NO ONE, to build a team around. And thanks to McDaniel's throwing away our first round pick, we have no way of bringing in anyone to build a team around any time soon.

Every team in the NFL has a losing season once in a while. Some have more losing seasons than not. And others can do nothing but lose. The Broncos, thanks to Pat Bowlen firing Mike Shannahan and bringing in an unproven, arrogant whelp to coach the team, has joined the donks with teams like the lions, the Bengals, and the raiders. We are inept and pathetic, and both will become a tradition we can not escape.

I predict that the donks will go 4-12 this year, and the next, and the next. I predict they will be 4-12 forever. The Cutler Curse is upon us.

  1. Ouch, that is depressing. At least they won a preseason game...

  2. Ahh.. Lance. 4-12, huh? Good thing it's now week seven and we're 6-0 with a bye before we dismantle the Ravens.

    Now, I don't know if it's your negativity or my optimism that has helped the Broncos along their way to undefeated, but don't change anything. Please keep hating the Broncos, and I'll keep saying things like, "You can't count the Broncos out even though we're down by 31 points. There's still 12 seconds left!"

    I DO understand that we will not continue to go undefeated. We still have games @ Indy, Arizona, and Baltimore. But we also have 1 game left with the Raiders, 2 games with the Chiefs, and another with the Chargers but at home. The Steelers will be tough, but it will be winnable. One thing is for sure though: Peyton Manning will bend us over and spank us with a wooden spoon like we are children who just got caught stealing cookies from the cookie jar even though we were told no cookies until after February but we just couldn't help ourselves because they were grandma's special recipe and we hadn't had them in sooo long.

    I digress.

    Oh, I lied. TWO things are for sure. That the Colts are going to rape us (maybe even literally), and that you're going to look REALLY funny with your flattop again.

    Just sayin'

    P.S. DoL = Awesome, eyes aren't bleeding, and yes, we're still going to Casa Bonita for my birthday.
