Game Thread: Den @ KC

[Broncosr0k]

Kudos to the defense. They looked good and usually holding a team to 15 (ignoring INT return) is good enough to win. If only we could find an offense that can muster anything before garbage time rolls in.

Feel badly for the Defense. They played their tails off only to have an inept offense trot out there again and again with crappy QB play and vanilla play calling. Teddy needs to hit the road. Either he is extremely beat up physically or he has gotten that bad. Our best pass play was a lateral/swing pass to Jeudy. Seriously?!?!? Sutton, Patrick and Fant have become useless in this offense with Teddy at QB. We need to open up the offense and that means benching Teddy and letting Drew have a run at it the rest of the year with the assumption our starting qb for next year is not on the roster. Sick and tired of the lame excuses Fangio and Co. make for Teddy. His play is inept. Time to bench him!!!

I'm angered by the continued evaluation of these veteran backup QBs as legit NFL starter. Elway did it for 5 years and now Paton comes in and does the same thing. This game is probably won with Mac Jones at QB who can process the field and find an open WR. TB while a nice guy cannot process the field.

It can be done . Hopefully the new owner will demand more than what we have gotten out of the GM position the last 5-6 years.

Only part I slightly push back on\.Could Mac Jones play like he has here? Staff here is worst of all 3 examples. I do agree with the rest though.

Exactly. Fangio would never play a rookie QB. And Shurmur would ruin him. Not until we fire HC, OC, STC!!!!

…..and whoever de-cleated Cushenberry should be fined and suspended. That play had criminal intent. I hope that kid is okay.

Here's why I think Pat Shurmur is retarded

On the 20 play drive. If you know you are going for it on 4th down run the ball on 3rd down as well trying to pick up 2 yards in 2 plays.

Shurmur did the exact same thing on the first drive. The first drive should have been 3 runs to set the tempo of the game. Instead he tries to pass on 3rd and 2 just because Javontee was stuff on 2nd and 1. He forgot the first run of 9 yards.

Last night BB knew he was going for it on 4th down so on 3rd and 5 he calls a QB sneak for 4 yards. and another QB sneak for 1 yard and a first down.

Why Shurmer has a job is beyond me. Why we got rid of Scrangarello is also beyond me as he was starting to gel with Lock. Fangio's OC choice will ultimately doom him.

Fangio appears to be following the John Fox approach. He would rather go with low upside vets instead of risking rookie player or coach working out. my requirement for future coaches is that they not live in the past.

Also, Cush may not be the answer at Center.

While the defense did their part, the Broncos' offense was a letdown, and these player grades reflect the Jekyll and Hyde nature of this year's squad.

I think this team is really close. Hopefully they don’t quit on themselves. Lots of self inflict pain in radius raucous KC.

 

[SpringStein]

Just looking at stats, the one that matters is the three turnovers to one.

 

[Draft Crazy]

We did a very good job of clock management vs the Chiefs to keep them off the field.. I took more good from this game then bad. Although it sucks losing to KC again.... We game planned against them pretty darn well. Hopefully we get them in Denver this time.

That and the lack of points. With those offensive stats and the lack of stats on KC's side should result in more than 9 points.

Yes the lack of points was more concerning than the turnovers. The offensive output has been an issue since 2016.
