We didn't look particularly promising last year or the year before. If we start out 0-3, I'll be worried. This is just players learning to play with each other.

We went 4-0 in 2000 and finished 5-11. We went 4-0 in 1998 and went 15-1. How they play/look is irrelevant. The starters know they're starting so their mindset is to stay healthy above all else. If the season were on the line, different story.

Offensive line looks pretty bad, really hope that isn’t the teams glaring weakness AGAIN

Also not liking the rookie kicker suddenly turning into Blair Walsh immediately after being given the job.

Looking back I almost wish they would have had him kick the extra point.  Maybe he wouldn't have thought about hooking left.
Sure hope he doesn't suddenly get the yips.

I am focused on the OL tonight and no, it does not look good.  I knew the first preseason game was an anomaly.  Now, reality is setting in.  Even with everybody healthy, it was not going to be easy, but they don't have the players right now.  Completely over-matched on run-blocking.

Ok a couple of positives just because. Cousins to Diggs. A 28 sighting. Dalvin is back. Here's to good health and a great season. Laquon looks good.

Missed the first half, but Siemien looks horrible.  Case is a major upgrade for Denver. Cousins better stay healthy.

Where has Rudy been.  I don't remember his name being mentioned but once in the last game.

I was just thinking the same thing.  Offense looks much better since Sloter has come in.

Nice throw by Sloter to Boone on 3rd down to get 1st and goal at the 5.
Boone rush down to 1 yard line.
Sloter throw to Wieneke for a TD.
Carlson a little too close for comfort on the extra point.  Sigh...

Sloter is pumped; I like this guy and his attitude.  Looks much, much better than what I have seen out of Siemien.

By the way, Iloka tipped the ball and caused the INT that gave Sloter the ball at Seattle’s 33.

In fairness to Siemien (and maybe a little with Cousins) the SeaHawks were out to blitz tonight and the our offensive line didn't give them much time.  Siemien didn't seem to either have any deep routes to throw to or didn't have the time.

Maybe this year, it'll only be a pre-season game that the Special Teams cost us.  Remind me again why Priefer still has a job here.

Yeah but do you think they completely changed their playcalling as soon as Sloter came in?

Sloter definitely has the arm to make any throw.  Hope he can pull off the comeback.  Inside the 20 now with just over a minute left.

Brutal blindside sack.  Fucking offensive line.

Incredible TD throw on the run on the next play to Beebe in the endzone!  BOOM!!!

Beebe is really fighting to make this team, had a big punt return to set up this drive as well.

Beebe and Sloter will make some team. If not ours, they'll be signed by one of the basement dwellers.
