Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Vic is the only coach in broncos HISTORY to not win a game in September.
Elway gonna keep firing coaches in year 2? That wouldn’t be a very good look for the organization
-Bronco in UT
While I both agree and disagree with many posts in this thread I have to lean towards champ on this one. Jay really needs to learn how to manage the game better, and also to learn that you don't have to go for the big play EVERY time on every drive. There is something to be said to check the ball down and live to fight another day. -Great Post Cut the Excuses out please. sigh...
Wow! The hits just keep coming don't they? Yeah. With this Coaching Staff, the injuries, the schedule. They may be hard pressed to beat the record for futility of 2010 seasons Josh McDaniels debacle 4-12 record! Hold on to your LUGNUTZ!!!!
At Chicago he was 4-14 in September. From 2015 thru 2017 he was 1-9. Only in 2018 did he improve to 3-1. For some reason (at least in recent history) he's never been good in September.

With Bears (2015-2018)
September 4-14
Other months 22-29
With SF (2011-2014).
September: 8-6
Other months: 41-16.
I don't think you can accurately gain anything by looking at years where he was a DC and not the HC. In Denver he's in control of everything, and fully has to own the 0-7 in September. But can he be blamed for losses where the offense fails to score when he has no control over that aspect of the game? 2016 for instance, the Bears played 3 September games and scored 14,14 and 17 points. Take the first game of 2016 as an example, the Bears had the ball 12 times, on 8 of those 12 drives they had the ball for 4 or fewer offensive plays (note one of those was a 2 play TD drive). So was that his fault?
I only checked the one game and the one season, but to me it's impossible to lay the record of a team at the feet of a DC, unless they're getting absolutely gashed every single game.
