So far Langford never met a tackle he didn't like.....

The Marianni non catch. Would've been nice to see a replay but preseason production is also just that. Preseason.....

More White please. The kid needs the touches. If he gets hurt then he's a bust. If he doesn't and make plays then they got something with him.....

The Broncos are doing some pretty exotic blitzes for the first preseason game.  They blitzed and then had a delayed blitz behind it on the Cutler sack.

The offense looks like its just throwing **** out to see what happens (as you often do in PS games with no active game plan to attack)...

If it looks like this in week 1 (I'm sure it won't) then its going to be LOOOOONG season....

This team will be a different one by mid season I'm sure.....

Great play action everyone was fooled including the camera man and me.

Yeah. Fooled me too :D

Too bad penalties and bad snaps (Hoyer recovered well though) killed that drive......

Not a lot to cheer about but it is just the first pre season game. 

I still think we will have a good season.

Hate to see the offense look so bad though.......

Hoyer can't seem to throw the ball away (maybe because its pre-season he doesn't feel its all that important). It seems he had the same problem with the Browns if I recall. A backup QB cannot take stupid sacks and has to play the field position game......

All in all one half of pre-season football week 1 is almost in the books. At least there was some real hitting going on.....

Special teams failure before the half. What the hell is it with guys named Rodgers killing us ? :D

Lots to work on in NE. Better now than in week 1.......

Our OL was horrible, both starters and back ups.  And that was the first half.  I didnt see anything from the DL starters that made me feel better about things.  And I was waiting for Floyd to do something, besides getting blocked.  I have a feeling it is going to be a very long season leading to 8-8 if we are lucky.  I hope I am wrong, and things jell, but man we are one or two injuries away from a 5 win year.

Floyd had a few pressures. Not really worried about him. The oline was bad and our 2nd string Oline wouldn't even be 3rd string on most other teams I believe.....

White had 1 catch for like 3-4 yards or so (it was that slip screen thing that Alshon always got)....

Braverman had a catch (short of a 1st down)....

D showed some bursts. First string LBs are solid.....

David "Fails" (although Bellamy should've caught that one ball) and goes 3 and out after the half......

I watched a LOT of 70s-80s football in the offseason and I was continually reminded how offensively challenged some teams were (Bears in particular). Expected a better performance at HOME with the home crowd.....

Addendum... David "Fales" takes a sack for a safety......

Only glum because I watched the other 5 games 1st quarters (Bears kicked off the latest of the other games) and the Bears looked like a team that isn't even in the same league as them. I'm sure Foxy is VERY dissappointed and expect some chippiness with the NE scrimmages this coming week.......

Slausen wouldn't have made a difference tonight......

Lackluster showing performace all around though. A few flashes where shown (Floyd had a few pressures and drew at least holding penalty or two...

LOL. David "Fails" points out the blitz then gets sacked from the blitz...

Its a talent issue but maybe too much faith in Magazu ? :D

I think Denver is going out of their way to show up Fox.  They are a better team no doubt up and down the roster but the blitzes are a bit ridiculous for a first pre-season game.

Then its a failure of coaching on Fox to expect it.......

Not a good showing no doubt. But not going to overreact on the 1st PS game. Going to be a depressing week in the press though as they skewer the Bears though......

If the Bears are truly bad it will show up against the Patriots. Another butt-kicking like this and it may be time to panic :D
