Seattle getting an upgrade at OT is probably the biggest move, as much hype has surrounded the Jimmy G trade.

Russell Wilson was on pace for over 200 QB knockdowns, maybe he'll see a little less time in the whirlpool and actually survive the season.

Problem with Seattle is they have no run game, although it will help with passing and such, I'm certainly not considering them better than say the Rams at the moment.

I can't say I'm surprised with the Broncos this season. Siemian never looked like a great QB last year and is a bigger disappointment this year. No protection from the Oline that's for sure but his decision making stinks and he genuinely looks scared when the ball is snapped.

Something has to give on the Offense because the D will run outta steam eventually.

On the leadup to MNF against the Chiefs, Vance Joseph was sure that it wasn't a QB issue but a unit issue. Now we go into this week on the road at the 7-1 Eagles who are sitting on 22 sacks and 9 interceptions for the year...with Osweiler as our triggerman. If it truly was a unit issue as stated last week, shouldn't the coach keep faith in Siemian? Personally, I don't think either QB under center will make much difference until we can get the protection right.

For the stat guy's out there, Osweilier has been sacked 52 times in his career and thrown 22 interceptions...Broncos are in trouble

Joseph's right, its not just an issue at QB, but unfortunately its easier to change the QB than sort the problems on the line. And to be fair the line has been much better when it comes to rushing than last season.

For me, Siemian doesn't look the same player as he did when we were winning. He's waiting for something to go wrong, and persisiting with him would be a mistake. Osweiler probably isn't an upgrade but there's no one else available on the roster.

There's an equally big problem with the special teams too. They've been an almost complete disaster the last two games. They need a big improvement too.

With a season of film on him, Siemian has been forced to make adjustments and he's been slow processing. He had similar issues with processing speed last season and that led to offensive line difficulties.

Both really good points but why drop the guy if there is no upgrade available. Who knows. These guys are on the training field and I'm just the armchair coach and it will most definitely not stop me watching

Watson was the best thing about this season, even while having to come to terms with the bears passing on the best QB of the draft...
