Denver went from a man cover scheme to a more complex zone in the second half and it confused AJM enough for him to hold the ball too long. That's really the tail of the second half.

What was different was that we had a good first half in prime time. Normally we're out of those games early.

Ah-ha!!!  Notice I said GOOD half-time adjustments.  lol  I understand that the Broncos went from a man scheme to zone, but c'mon!!  You mean to tell me that was new and that Hue has never gone up against a zone scheme before or watched any film of the Broncos doing that?  Or that McCarron has never faced a zone defense before and didn't practice against it at all last week?  Sorry, that was not directed at you, I just get tired of the excuses and the lack of adjustments with this team. 

I put this loss on the coaches.  Even after coming out in the second half and seeing that the Broncos switched to zone, it seems like we didn't adjust to that and kept doing the same thing over and over.  And what about the defense?  We go from only giving up 3 in the first half to 17 in the second?  Why didn't we make adjustments there when we saw what they were doing in the second half. 

I have pretty much always complained about our coaching and probably will continue to do so until they are able to figure out how to make successful second half adjustments.  Why are they not able to do so?
