Room to improve on two fronts

Hooray for Denver. They beat a team they were predicted to beat yesterday in the Kansas City Chiefs. There are still some holes, esp. on defense, that haven't been (won't be?) addressed.
But today, we're going to whine about CBS analyst Steve Beuerlein, the former quarterback for the Raider and for Denver. It's easy to see why he is part of the 10th announcing team for CBS. He was wrong more often than not yesterday. He was smug more often than he was right, and he tried to play doctor (we will assume he did so without staying at a Holiday Inn Express).
Instead of waiting for a replay, Beuerlein bellowed that running back Peyton Hillis landed on his head after a play during the second quarter. Hillis left the game with a leg injury, not a head injury (at least he had the right player), and did not return.
Note to Beuerlein: don't first guess in case of injuries, especially potentially serious ones.
And don't give up your day job.
