Official Game Day Thread: 2019: Week 10 Broncos vs Vikings

[GMTD]

I was at the game today. We had their number and we went so conservative that it was sickening. Also take that damn end around play to Fant and trash it finally. It didn't work first play of our season and it didn't work today. Refs were horrible missing soooooo many penalties but that should be expected in this day and age. Also wadman is useless and McManus chokes under pressure now. If he makes the kick he missed we can kick another one and we win

I believe, in the trade, it is called "doing an Atlanta". Clearly none of Fangio, Scangrello, the other coaches or the players watched that Superbowl.

The difficult part is that choking under pressure has nothing to do with talent. We could have the best team in the NFL on paper and still freeze when it matters. It's a mental problem and put simply comes down to whether you truly expect to win games, or suffer fear of making a mistake that will cost you the game. Full marks to the Vikings. They expected to win. Even at 0-20 down. We were worried we might lose. Even at 20-0 up.

SB 50 was great, but I think since then, its been a pretty bad stretch of Bronco football.

Fant had one good game before the bye week and Rich Gannon was all about getting him the ball. Then on the next few plays they try to spread him out like he was Gronk? The scripting is real in the NFL.

The one thing that has not changed is the front office. Pretty much everything else has changed.

ha ha! i could see it happening to this team...or perhaps even a kickoff returned for a score

well that would another way we have not had happen yet this year....so it will prolly happen we just keep finding new ways to lose

[BroncosFanInPA]

Pass interference automatic first down plus untimed down for a game winning fg

And it's for those reasons i believe that they were attempting to drain the clock entirely if they did score at the end, because we all know the defense can't hold it down no matter what...

probably find a way to lose if there was just 1 second left & had the lead

It’s so frustrating, every time you think this team is starting to turn the corner, they have a complete meltdown.

How can they look so dominate one moment, then the next look like a high school team? It makes no sense

The offense certainly needed to score with no time left. Another meltdown in the books. Fangio is closing in on a full season with a losing record.

[DavisMVP]

Nope, you are what your record is.

Vance has nothing to do with this crap, his no long here.

Per Mile High Report:

“Prior to Sunday, only 2 percent of teams (28 of 1399 in NFL history down 20 at half) had overcome such a halftime deficit. I’ll add that to the gag factor. As Courtney Cronin highlighted, per Elias: The Vikings are the first team in the last 40 seasons to score a touchdown on every second-half possession and win after trailing by 20 points at the half.”

Fangio is such a great defensive coach. Sure.

Stats are everything, We can’t close a game out on defense, but at least we’re ranked in the top 5. Best coaching job I’ve seen in the last 5 years.��
