Denver up 10-0. 4th down. Field goal attempt. Jets have three timeouts. <br /><br />Broncos make field goal. 13-0. 32 seconds left. Jets kneel on ball and head into locker room with three timeouts not used.<br /><br />The second half was basically draw play, draw play, crappy pass, punt.

I'm ...I definitely agree with your entire post. I'm a Cowboys fan and couldn't stand Wade Phillips when he was head coach back in 2007-2010. As a defensive coordinator he is one of the best. By far his greatest (of his many DC stints) was his return to Denver and being instrumental in their Super Bowl win.<br /><br />I had to watch him return to Dallas this season and watch my heavily favoured Cowboys get torn apart by the LA Rams. This was when we still had no idea who the Rams were this season. Dallas managed only 6 points in the second half. It wasn't a coincidence. It was the stout defense coached by Wade Phillips. I give him even more credit as a first year DC in L.A. with a rather unproven squad. <br /><br />I have a soft spot for the Broncos (also destroyed Dallas this season) and it's mind boggling to see their defense struggle. There is still tons of talent on Denver, but it goes to show you how important a coordinator is.<br /><br />The Rams are enjoying the benefits of Phillips as a great compliment to their explosive offense. Los Angeles is a worst to first story in 2017. It is not a fluke. <br /><br />What could still be in the mile high city is the city of angels gain.
