Official Game Day Thread: 2019: Week 1 Broncos vs Raiders

[Sam_Z]

The Broncos moved the ball down the field, however we kicked field goals while they scored touchdowns.

10 yards per pass attempt from the Oakland offense, basically their TEs over Isaac Yiadom.

The individual performances on offense out numbered the individual performances on defense for once.

Donatell needs to be in the press box and not on the field.

Agreed. I think placing Lock on IR was to help Flacco not get his feelings hurt from too much pressure from heat of Lock behind him. I hope Lock is learning the playbook and is ready to take charge of this team. I’m excited about him and hope he is what I think he is. Dude has energy. You watch the guys around him when he gets his chance and that chance will come.

I look forward to seeing what Lock can do, but the truth is he's probably not our savior at QB.

I don’t want to hear any excuses for Fangio.

People wanted VJ fired five games in when he was 3-2. At least he won his first game as a head coach.

This team looked ill prepared to play.

VJ had a fair shot with two full seasons with an 11-21 record.

If you’re going to judge Fangio on one game then your argument for VJ is a canard.

Give Fangio the same shot and we’ll see how he does.

It's going to be a fun week of armchair GM'ing / coaching / QB'ing around here.

Yup one game in and Elway and fangio need to be fired. Clear house... Von Miller is overpaid... we should have drafted josh Allen over Chubb... Fant is a wasted pick... drew lock is the savior.... tank for tua.... lose for Lawrence... cry complain rinse repeat after every loss and say the opposite after every win

Trust he won't be. But that's just my opinion. We will see soon enough.

Like I said earlier I won't start crying until I see 2 or 3 more performances like this. Packers looked rough but it will still be a tough game.

Fant was a wasted pick tho Bush was a no brainer for this defense I thought.

Just like they did VJ.

Lol at the people saying Flacco didn't play well. Hope you got the game pass to watch the game again. Flacco leads us to the redzone multiple times and our OC calls that stupid formation of the left that set us up for failure, Hamilton dropping a easy catch that Flacco played perfect by faking the safeties with his eyes.

We had no run game in the first half which our offense based off on. Notice when our run game started to improve Flacco made more plays?

The one thing I will knock him on is getting rid of the ball when he has nothing instead of getting sacked. He needs to improve on that. People complain about in leadership clearly have never watch Flacco before because everyone knows that's not the type of player he is.

+1 for fancy words. We'll call it the Al Michaels award after he snuck in copacetic in to the SNF opening.

We're not one game in when it comes to Elway. Come on now. We're 11-22 over the past 33 games. That's all under Elway.

I am not agreeing with any of those posts. I just don’t feel confident in Flacco or this playbook from Scangerello.

[Murph2432]

Just like they did VJ.

I was on board this off-season to trade Von while he still had value. We need to go into rebuild mode. Starting will building an Oline for our future QB. That needs to be our main priority after gutting everyone. Wolfe is trash, Leary is trash, and Bolles are must goes

So let's light a match after the season opener. Ok.

[Papa-pwn]

Joe Keenum. Some QBs elevate their teammates, others tank them. There is a reason why Joe is said to always have poor supporting casts and it is not because those players lack talent.
