I have to question Shanahan at this point. It is like he has bought into all the talk about him being a genius and he has lost all focus.

He had a good running back, perfect for the system, already on the roster after last season with Mike Bell. The perfect running back for the system, but Shanahan decided he would go against his normal way of doing things, go out and get a free agent running back, and commit to him 100%. Forget the fact that this running back was injury prone, never...

Troy Williamson, Minnesota Vikings Wide Receiver, missed practice time and the game this past week, and for good reason. Williamson's grandmother, who raised him, passed away.

I think we all watched the Broncos play last year, at least a little anyway.

Where Shanahan messed up:
Last season, Shanahan ran his running backs like he normally does, where none of...

Wow, what a shocking development on the eve of the NFL regular season. Let me just say, I don't think for a minute that this is a case of going with the best quarterback on the roster.

Last season, there was some tension between Del Rio and Leftwich. Leftwich wanted to be on the field, but he was shut down for an "injury". It seemed at the time there was more to this, and apparently, judging by this development, there was more to the story. Leftwich would barely talk to reporters...

Each and every year, 32 NFL teams start the season off, all with a chance at obtaining a Super Bowl ring, right? Wrong. Let's be real here, most of these teams don't have a snowball's chance in (you know where) of making the playoffs, much less winning the ultimate title in the greatest sport in the World.

So, lets go about this in a backwards manner, because that is how my mind works. Barring in-season injuries, this is how I see it.

You need a good defense to have...
