Seriously, I dont like it, but messing with the rules too much and the NFL starts looking like the NBA or even the NHL. Too much tinkering can definitely be a bad thing.

Not so much that...but 2 things....

1. People calling something well within the rules bush league is a joke. I realize that wasn't you.

2nd and more importantly, there is a pervasive hate for Shanahan for some reason and it kills me. I guess it's success and that bothers people, although the Broncos haven't had much success since 1998. I'm not talking about here either, it's more in the football world.

But yeah, the joke of a game that was played on Sunday is still getting to me. They had a chance to bury San Diego in the division and absolutely soiled themselves. You could blame it on a rookie QB except that he was by far their best player. Travis Henry was absolute dog dung. How many times did he trip over himself? Our newly called up return man screwed up worse than the guy he replaced....and this is a guy that has been around for 4 years and has played that role in the past. It's not as if he was some kid returning his first kick in the NFL. Darrent Williams is probably rolling over in his grave watching this defense. Champ Bailey can't be your shut down corner and a linebacker. Sorry....I'm ranting!
