People, People....RELAX...it's just one game. Better they falter now than in the play-offs. They still have 4 more games left. The next is at SD which they may loose. Which will put them at 7-6...if they win out, which they should since they're remaining games are againsta the Cardinals, 49ers and Cincinnati. They should easily finish at 10-6. But they need to start putting up points. They need to seperate themselves from the bad teams. They will, they always play hard in December. Regardless who the QB is. So relax everyone.

The Broncos are doing good. The problem is the fans have been spoiled. They are used to greatness with Elway and now nothing else will do. Jake Plummer was an average quarterback, but in Denver, only an A+ quarterback will do. They may not even make the playoffs now because of the quarterback switch. Cuttler isn't ready yet. He played good in the preseason, but that was against 2nd and 3rd string players. Now he's in there with 1st stringers, and they are gonna feast on him the rest of the season. He's basically a red shirt freshman taking over a playoff team, at least they were a playoff team.

They have not been able to establish the running game this year like the last few seasons. This has put more on the shoulders of the QB's which has exposed there limitations. There D-Fence is still one of the best however they are having to defend to many short fields due to the offense turning the ball over. They would survive this probably in the N.F.C but not in the ultra competetive A.F.C. The Broncos will not make the playoffs due to all of the above.

Their offensive line sucks this year. I don't have a reason for you, but that is why their offense has not been productive this year. Last year, Jake Plummer had a great year. Their running game was productive. If you watch the games this year, the pocket just collapses every time they start a play. This causes sacks and interceptions and fumbles from the quarterback. Everyone blamed Jake Plummer, but he wasn't the one at fault. They have been struggling to get a running game going this year. Because of the lack of running game (offensive line again), Jake Plummer hasn't been able to do what he does best which is play-action pass.
Putting Jay Cutler in won't fix this problem. If anything, it will shut them out of the playoff race. He won't start to get the hang of the NFL until he has played at least 4 or 5 games. By that time, the Broncos will be out of the playoffs. It's possible that Mike Shanahan just gave up on making it to the Super Bowl this season and decided to look towards next year with Jay Cutler.
The ONLY reason that Jay Cutler did not throw more interceptions than touchdowns last night (which is why everyone hates Jake Plummer) is that one of his receivers made a great play for 70 yards. I emphasize that Jake Plummer is not the problem.

I am a fan. I don't know what is going on. They can not finish a game. I turned my TV off last night knowing they won. Woke up this morning and seeing they lost by 3pts. How awful. They are not going to make the playoffs. Someone on that taem needs to step up. Run the ball more. They have one of the fastest offensive lines. At least this game was not Jake's fault.

A weasel dressed as an NFL coach has taken over. Actually, they waited too long to get their rookie quarterback started and they will be lucky to pull off a play off bid in a tough AFC.

o.k.....jay cutler did well for his 1st ever game. The 1 int was tipped.....And they only lost by a field goal to the Seahawks, a very good team.
Jay Cutler will get better, expect another real good game vs. the chargers

the broncos have a good defense but their offense sucks big time and that's why they will continue to lose games

They suck...plain and simple. Their QB isn't living up to the standards that he was supposed to so now they got a rookie SEC QB starting for them.
BOTTOM LINE:
It looks like they are starting their "rebuild" year a little early

Doesn't matter, all that I care about is that THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS TOOK THEM DOWN!! 23-20, close enough, but still not a big threat from the Broncs.
