-Fuck Thursday Night Football. Short week exacerbates injuries, and when you gain even more during the game, it's a shit show.

-OL change was necessary, but again, short week hurts that.

-You have to be prepared for Raimann to take lumps. Two of his penalties were BS. Seemed to settle in. He needs his ass kicked.

-Matt Pryor cannot play OT. Put his gigantic ass at RG, if anywhere.

-The only reason I'm not ready to bench Pryor is because of how Pinter played in his natural position. Way better than at guard. I can only hope Pryor at RG might be better. But Ryan will never settle down with Pryor out there scaring the shit out of him.

-I said in the gameday thread: I don't know how to evaluate Ryan due to the weak spots in the O-line. Still bad until the end. Fumbles are inexcusable.

-Offense at the end and overtime looked way different. Got some running lanes and Granson, Campbell, and especially Pierce made plays.

-Ryan leaned on Pierce. He gives me hope.

-McLaughlin proved his worth tonight. 4/4, two 50+'s and a 48 yarder in OT.

-Defense deserved a win. Not perfect, but good.

-Buckner was a motherfucker and Gilmore iced DEN twice.

-Rodney Thomas looks like a find.

-Really sucks for Kwity. Notice DEN's run production after he went out.

-Isaiah Rodgers plays bigger than he is. Some good tackles tonight.

-Denver has to remind you of us. You know Russell Wilson is a good QB and he/they looked pretty bad. Granted, both offenses were up against good defenses. But it's not just us. Going to take some patience at best.

-Question the play call for DEN, but I would want my team to go for the win in OT.

OL change was necessary, but they keep making the wrong changes.

OL lineup should be:

Raimann-Nelson-Pinter-Kelly-Smith

I would honestly be giving Eric Fischer a call right about now.
I think we really should be looking outside of the building if this is the best we can trot out there after 4 weeks of football.
Pinter should start at C, Pryor should be an emergency backup at best. Hell put Q at LT, we are paying him that kind of money anyway

if kelly can't play center, he won't hold up at rg.

I'm generally in favor of leaving the guys at their natural positions. So leave Kelly or bench him, but don't move to guard. I've rewatched some and I'll watch the 22 tape later on, but I don't even know for sure if Pinter played better than Kelly. He may have, but all I really know is Pinter looked far more comfortable at C than at RG.

Pryor is big and strong, but he is too lumbering for OT. Is he too lumbering even for RG?

If you ever want him to pull, get downfield and make a block on the 2nd level, yes he is a turtle.

My take: that was gross. both teams should get an L.

That's the only justification I can think of for keeping him at OT and moving Smith to RG. That we ask our guards to pull or otherwise get downfield or out in space too much for Pryor. Smith is probably our best RG, but I think we need him at RT.

Hopefully they settle on a lineup over the mini bye. Try some stuff, yeah, but getting reps as a unit and getting a feel for each other is just as important.

The O-line should not include Ryan Kelly...he has gone downhill a lot in the last 2 years and is probably done as an effective O-lineman at any position.

I don't know about 2 years, but he definitely sucks this year. Maybe he's still messed up over his daughter's passing.
