What's up with all of us?

The Raiders suck, the Chiefs suck, the Chargers suck, and the Broncos suck(and will be, at best, 3-2 in two weeks). Why do we all suck?

JK17 · 09-24-2007, 10:58 AM

I have no idea...the entire division really took a massive pitfall this year...

Stash · 09-24-2007, 05:13 PM

I think this is something that is pretty common around the whole league so far.

The Saints offense sucks
The Rams offense sucks
The top 3 RB's in the league (LT, LJ, SJax) all suck
The Bears are 1-2
The Texans actually look like a good team
Detroit has 2 wins already
The Eagles are 1-2
Cleveland scored 50+ points in one game
They play Defense in Indy?

It's just a WTF kind of season. The Patriots are one of the few teams that was expected to be good that is actually performing that way.

The Raiders aren't great but are probably the only team going forward from last year till now, granted they still have a losing record. Denver would be fine if they learned how to stop the run and convert some damn positive yardage when needed. As for the other 2, SD could come back, but the curse of Norv Turner is running full strength and he's doing an effective job running them into the ground. KC is just awful, they play ok defense but the O-line finally took a major dive. It's pretty sad that Lamont Jordan is the best rusher in the west at this point.

Actually, the Chiefs offensive line hasn't played as poorly as I thought they would have. There's definetely room for improvement, but the biggest issue that the Chiefs are facing is they have no consistently good play from the QB position. Teams can stack the line of scrimmage with 7, 8, 9 men because Huard will consistently over throw open receivers.

Raiders, they have a rookie head coach and it is not as if anyone thought they would be a playoff team anyway.

Broncos, Jay Cutler is only in his 2nd season and people want him to be an elite QB already, it takes time.

Chiefs, no o-line for Larry Johnson and he is pretty much that whole offense.

Chargers, Norv Turner.

NIN1984 · 09-28-2007, 11:55 AM

Its not the only reason why Denver isn't a great team right now but Cutler did give the Raiders a pick 6, that game really should have never been in OT...

But Cutler is young and will make bad throws like that but he will grow and learn from it

Hey now, we sucked way before any of you did. :p

Copycats.

23 but who's counting? At least we have more playoff wins this century.

I was actually going for sarcasm but it's difficult to get that across on a message board. I actually hate the fact that my team hasn't won a superbowl since I've been alive though.

Or within the near future. I'm so done with this coaching staff.

T-RICH49 · 09-28-2007, 06:43 PM

the major problem with KC is simple....Herm Edwards.He has single handidly ruind a great offense

when you don't throw the ball to a WR until 8 minutes to go in the 3rd qtr then that is a bad job of adjusting and coaching IMHO

His name is Bowe.

Norv just kills teams. Losing the coordinators was expected. Losing Marty was the big mistake.

doingthisinsteadofwork · 10-01-2007, 09:08 PM

im not so sure that firing Marty was the biggest mistake.I think the biggest mistake was firing Marty as late as they did.

Question this week: Who sucks more, Broncos or Chargers? That will be tough, but LT will run for 400 yards against our 31st ranked run defense, Rivers will have a tough time against our pass offense and only throw like five passes because he can hand it off all game. Cutler will lead several drives down the field to the red zone only to have the game taken out of his hands and have us running the same running play three times in a row which will lead to a 4th and 1, which we will either call a QB sneak for and miss, or Elam will miss the field goal.

Oh no way! C'mon if the run game is killing them, you know Norv will jump right to the pass game! I mean why run it and be successful, when you can pass 40 times a game and really scar your developing QB's progress! That'd just be silly.
