Around the NFL (week 12)

Can someone explain why Josh McDaniels still has a job? More spying, Brady Quinn for Peyton Hillis?? Tim Tebow??? No Culter and Marshall?? losing to the Rams at home and getting crushed by the Raiders??

He has a patient owner, and a built in need for 1 more year with Tebow. The pressure will be immense next year for Tebow to become a superstar and McD to prove himself.

That said, the Broncos fanbase is definitely unaccustomed to any thing near this type of losing streak, and while they don't like it, their owner has a lot of earned goodwill, so they aren't riding his back quite as much as we did last year.

I am still scratching my head as to how the Bears keep winning, when we played them they seriously looked lost more so then us.

Because Pat Bowlen, the Broncos owner, is still paying Shanahan. To fire McDaniels is to pay big money to two guys who are no longer coaching the team.

A poll and article from the Denver Post:

In the aftermath of the Broncos' videotape incident, and 15 losses in the past 20 games, is there any way coach Josh McDaniels can regain the trust and support of Broncos fans?
Total Votes = 2895

No. The combination of losses and "Spygate II" will never be overcome. Time to move on after this season.

Yes. If the Broncos can finish the season close to .500, fans will give McDaniels another chance.

Well you can't really judge him for Tim Tebow yet, and the Rams and Raiders are both solid teams this year. Also, Kyle Orton is having a monster year, and they got a few first rounders for Cutler, so I don't fault him for that at all. Brady Quinn for Peyton Hillis is a huge, huge fail, as is losing 16 of 21 games. That alone should get him fired.

Funny how McDaniel claims that the illegal taping was the independent action of a single individual when that individual (Steve Scarnecchia) was on Belicheat's video staff when violations were committed there. Not defending New England, but how can Goodell not take away at least one Broncos draft choice when he docked the Pats a 1st rounder for their Spygate?

I think Bowlen would like to be patient with him, but McDaniels sure is doing his best to get fired.

an 8 and 8 season is probably the best they can do, but it still may not be enough to keep McDaniel's job.

Are you serious?!?!
