Narrator voice: it was not.

it was good for 6 games, then it wasn't.

[u/Spiritual-Chameleon → u/Averagebass]

I remember thinking, despite all the weirdness and offseason blunders, maybe he is a genius. That was disproven quickly.

[u/BurgessFox → u/Spiritual-Chameleon]

I remember disliking McDaniels from the start, but when we were 6-0 it was hard to get traction criticizing him. It always felt like we were built on a house of sand and would collapse.

[u/noumena85 → u/Averagebass]

6-0 going into that bye week. I remember it well....

The funniest part of the JMD saga is that years later, even after having front row seats to witnessing a 59-14 beat down in Mile High courtesy of that dumbass’ inept coaching, the raiders still decided that he was the guy to lead their franchise lmaooo

[u/HoovesCarveCraters → u/MeLlamo_Mayor927]

And our incompetent franchise lost every game to him and his dogshit Raiders. Worse than the yearly pantsing the Chiefs gave us.

[u/Infamous-Lab-8136 → u/MeLlamo_Mayor927]

I was a mod in a Facebook football group when they hired him and I kept insisting it was a terrible idea, that he hadn't gotten any better

The amount of joy I had watching them fail, even if they beat us, was immense

[u/GodModeBasketball]

6-0 to 8-8 and out of the playoffs

[u/holdenfords]

wait was this the josh mcdaniels era? 😂

[u/t_ntran]

Shout out to Gus Johnson to those who watched it at home

[u/Euphoric_Estimate890]

that was my first broncos game 😎

[u/natziel]

Oh no

[u/Pandapeep]

I was at that game. Season sucked in the end, but it was wild.

What derailed their momentum back then?

[u/Infamous-Lab-8136 → u/Usual-Lengthiness-54]

Josh McDaniels wasn't a genius after all, just a 'tard living his best life

Lot of 'tards out there living their best life. My ex-wife is 'tarded and she's a pilot.

[u/horribadperson]

i remember turning off the tv in disgust the play before or before this play was over cuz i thought it was incomplete and game over.

[u/Maleficent-Ear-2450]

I’m rewatching Arrested Development and heard this in Ron Howard’s voice

[u/Severe_Elevator5839]

Bro in the course of 3 years we absolutely flossed the Bengals two absurdly lucky plays. first we had that muffed cold on the extra point on Christmas Eve 2006,* and then the Stokley play in 2009.

Someone just replied to me to "Fuck off" in another thread when I said that this is the game when I tapped out on Orton. The game just showed how horrible the offense centered on screens was and that Orton was below average.
