Game Thread: Week 1: Denver Broncos at New York Giants

I’m thrilled with that. When his ankle was crunched, thought he was gone for the year.

I’m just thrilled ankle bones didn’t fracture. He is one dude that needs sound ankles. Let him heal 100%

I think Teddy played great.

Yep, but needs a helmut that fits.

I would say Teddy played well, not great. Missing the Wide open Fant was a huge miss. One thing I really liked was he did push the ball a bit more downfield then I was thinking we would see, and that is encouraging.

The thing that bothered me is the lack of a run game, and that Shurmur went away from even attempting to run the ball at times. It all worked out today, and probably will for the next 2 games given the opposing QBs are both rookies.

I did enjoy watching the Broncos just owned the ball in to start the second half. That was great to see, and could really help the Defense as needed, but there were multiple big play opportunities.

So far it is encouraging, let's see what happens next week.

Teddy did what he was here to do, he distributed. I mean there were 30+ points to be had if not for mistakes from receivers, not Teddy. We was also very impressive on that Redzone TD pass to Albert O. Made something happen there.

The run game will open up, if Teddy continues to move the chains. The approach for all of our opponents will be to make Teddy beat them. The pass will have to open up the runs a bit at first, then Denver can balance things out.

Good game guys.....Bridgewater gives you guys a legit game manager at QB.

He didn't just manage the game. He made plays. Quite a few.

Congrats on the long throws of 20 and 25 yards.

Random- I was happy to see Damarea Crockett active for an nfl game.

An a drop TD of 50 yards. I hope Hamler is called out in the team meeting for such a blunder.

Doesn't change the fact that you're full of shit. Troll harder next time.

To be fair that was pretty much Teddy's only miss all day.

I was seriously impressed by Teddy. His pocket awareness was outstanding and he made some big plays on 3rd and 4th downs.

Our offense put up 27 on a very good defense. Not sure your point, but your kinda making it for us

I was pleasantly surprised by Teddy and the Offense. Loved the time of possession, ok third down conversion rate and then followed up with great 4th down conversions. Bummer to see Jeudy go down, but that is why you don't trade someone like Patrick who stepped up nicely. Sutton was quite but will progress. The run stats were good because of Gordon's big run (he still has the jets) but overall the running game was ok and I think will get better.

Defense was solid and loved seeing Von back and looking like his old self. If Chubb can ever get right this D has the chance to be scary. I didn't see much of PSII on the field after missing a tackle early though.

Overall a great road win to start the season. On the Jacksonville, who looked awful.

PS2 only played 16 snaps. I'd say that was maybe the biggest disappointment of the game for me. (Other than the Jeudy injury of course.) I still have high expectations for him.

Need to get a Von Miller's back note into this thread. Great game by the Vonster.

 

[Draft Crazy]

I think PS2 will see snaps increase as the season goes on. He played wonderful in PS gave up a TD yesterday but we are pretty deep at CB so we don't have to throw him right into the fire. He would be starting on most teams right now. Should start for us by next year.

Pleasantly surprised that the preseason games carried so well over to the regular season.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Will forever suck that Von missed last year but I think players sitting out a season and having to fight through adversity can go one way or another for them. I think for Von it made him realize his love for the game and gave him a year to sit back and reflect on football and I think it may have given him a little bit more fuel to spark him for the final years of his prime. It is also a contract year sooooo.

Interesting note from Nick Kosmider at ThE Atletic.

Yesterday the Broncos lined up 3 TEs in 10 of their 66 snaps. All of last year they used 3 TEs 37 time the entire season.
