Official Game Day Thread: 2019: Week 2 Bears vs Broncos

[armedequation]

Paragraph breaks in a rant can be helpful

Numerous people have called for elway to be fired over the past several seasons. Although i can't blame him for that ridiculous roughing the passer call. Elway cant draft plain and simple and then goes and overpays free agents (see o line) because he doesnt know how to draft.

Who are the bronchos?

So, the positive things that you accomplished over twenty years ago should allow you to be a justified failure and disappointment TODAY, AND FOREVER MORE?

The Broncos didn't do so well after Elway retired, then he came back as GM and hoisted his 3rd Lombardi. Elways Denver Broncos 3 Lombardis, Denver Broncos without Elway 0 Lombardis.

That was a pressure kick and the last thing you want to do is take a penalty and make it easier.

A blocked kick leads the broncos to a win 100 percent of the time in that circumstance. They were going for the block, they should have given the guy who has blocked three kicks in his career a chance at it. But they didn’t and the Broncos are 0-2 now.

I was disappointed watching this game, and then jumping for joy after the 2pt conversion, high fives, hugging, total happiness!!!!!
Then completely bummin' we couldn't hold them with 30 seconds left at home.
( That's what makes watching the games fun,,, right????)

Definitely a heart breaker.....

The odds of missing a 53 yard FG are higher than blocking a kick.

Ultimately, if you lose 16-14, it's more on the offense than the defense

They were going for the block anyway. I’m just saying that if you are going to call the one play to block a kick in a critical time, you should call the one where we have seen success over the last two years.

A football team is made up of 3 phases, offense, defense, and special teams. I'd say today Offensively and Defensively we were more or less evenly matched. However, they were better than us on special teams. There's your difference in today's outcome.

Yikes, so close yet so far away...

Joe Flacco made 52 passing attempts today. Very different from a usual Mike Shanahan style of offense.

Fair enough.....

When there is 9 seconds to go and you let them convert a 25 yd pass to get into field goal range, naaah, thats totally on the D.

That's what I'm talkin' bout, what a bummer!!

I generally dislike talking about the past, 'cause you can't change it, BUT. . . I believe that the Broncos would have made the playoffs in either of the past two seasons if it weren't for "COACH JOSEPH MUST GOSEPH." No business being an NFL head coach, whatsoever. . . good luck somewhere in Class 5A, er 3A, that is. WHY WAS HE EVER HIRED?!! And now, thanks to television AND BRONCHOS' FANS MONIES, he's "$et for life!"

VJ wasn’t a good coach however, the roster was not talented enough. It wasn’t last year and it isn’t now.
