Official Game Day Thread: 2020: Week 2 Broncos vs Steelers

You mean having a big core of your team injured?

We haven't lost because of injuries. We've lost because of putrid coaching.

[DenverBlood]

This is an awful take

It’s really not though. You can easily blame 0-2 versus 2-0 on some bad decision making.

[GMTD]

Two of the worst play calls on 3rd and 4th in history since dirt was invented.

Hard to disagree. But what an incredible fight from the team in the second half. From a game we were totally out of, we had a legitimate shot at winning.

It's worse than last year already with more talent. No excuse for it

Its a new offense with young players that had a short offseason and no preseason. And "more" talent is questionable. A couple rookie wideouts aren't absolutely "more" talent.

They didn't lose because of injuries. They lost because of bad playcalling.

just pitiful play calling in both games esp inside the 25 horrible

This. Kudos for them fighting all game. It’s just frustrating how they haven’t been able to finish under Fangio/

Horrible play calling, we pay gordon 8mil and we dont run on 3 and 2? At least LOOK like ur going to run!!!!! Shotgun both times? Pathetic!!!

[jdhdiggs]

Shurmer- I'm done with this experiment... why do we have WR constantly in motion 8 yards deep? Especially on short yardage plays..

Two weeks in a row where we have the offense in a "Must make it" situation and in both cases we fail epically.

Just... garbage play calling imo.

And what is with the drops across the whole team?

[Megalodon30]

They didn't lose because of injuries. They lost because of bad playcalling.

So having Sutton last week would have made no difference? Having your starting QB and RB on the last drive today would have made no differnce? Having Von Miller for either game would have made no difference? Get real.

[GMTD]

They didn't lose because of injuries. They lost because of bad playcalling.

And poor execution. On the last play, Driskel had enough time to make the screen pass for the first down but just didn't see it in time.

[roushmartin6]

The fact we refused to bench Wilkinson for a 13 year vet when Wilkinson was basically not even playing speaks volumes of our idiocracy

[bronco30]

Broncos start back-to-back seasons 0-2 for the first time since 1966.

next sunday is 0-3

[flosstein]

Horrible play calling, we pay gordon 8mil and we dont run on 3 and 2? At least LOOK like ur going to run!!!!! Shotgun both times? Pathetic!!!

playing devil's advocate, Gordon was open on that pass play. Driskell just threw to a dub covered Hamler.

the thing about shurmur is he was a huge failure as head coach of the giants so why hire him anyway , it just reeks of a face fitting country club .
