It's a losers thing, it spreads like a deadly disease in crowded subway in one of those awful horror movies. You get down and you say "here we go again". And before you know it your 3-13, picking in the top 5 and banking your hopes on the next season only to repeat the process over again.
Unfortunately, I see this look, body language and vibe in this team again and I just do not get it. It turned around so fast. You saw it in Bradfords body language and efforts as the game progressed.
Am I the only one that thought the first couple drives looked o.k.? They weren't great but they were a minor improvement (minus the running game or lack there of). They got a few first downs, moved the chains. Missed an easy TD and settled for a FG that gave them the lead.
However, the interception happens on a horrible 3rd and 1 call and the downspiral begins.
Defense gave in, offense had a horrible look to it almost as if they didnt care.
My point is this...Bradford I would hope would be our leader on the field. Youngsters who come into this system take on the attitude of that leader on the field and in the locker room. But when I watch Bradford go to the sidelines, pick up the photos of the last few defensive coverage schemes, take maybe a 5 second look at the book then hand it back to one of the assitants and shake his head what kind of leader is that? What is he doing to prevent this "here we go again" vibe? What is he teaching the youngsters?
The OC is sitting right next to him, the backup QB is next to him yet they just sit there with blank stares on their face ignoring each other like they both have that deadly disease and it could be contagious. The sad thing is.....THE SCORE IS 7-3 at that time!
Next time you watch the Broncos watch Manning take a look at that picture book. The OC is there, the backup QB is there, the line is there. Manning is pointing stuff out looking for a way to take advantage of the D.
Now, I am not saying Sam is Manning or could be. I am simply pointing out that I believe whoever is the leader on this team is spreading this horrible infectious "here we go again" vibe. I am not trying to single out Sam or say it is him, it might be someone else. Perhaps Sam learned this when he stepped in as a Rookie and it could be fixable if it is him. But until it is fixed, every single thing that goes wrong will continue to spiral into loss after loss after loss. No matter what scheme we run, who our coach is, how many fans show up to cheer or what weapons we have.
I just wish I could do something to fix it!
