Game Thread: Denver @ Seattle 8:15pm EST on ABC

This has probably already been mentioned but we all knew that Seattle would be the only NFC West team to win week 1 right?

In Bizarro World sure.

Get me the stats on Wilson on 4th and 5 or more. That would be interesting to see.

The Broncos did everything in their power to lose that game and they did.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

That stunned me. What precisely are you paying Russ to do if not to get within a 60 yard FG there?

Stunned indeed. Coach just CALMLY told Russ to let 25-some seconds just tick right off the clock before taking one of his remaining TOs to kick the FG.

That should have been Russ’ moment. Absolutely absurd to attempt that kick with piss poor probability.

Better odds to just take the TO with 30+ seconds remaining and go for the 1st down. If you get it you immediately call your next timeout and probably still have plenty of time to run another play or 2… fail both times and still get a 56-58yd FG.

Fumbling TWICE on the 1 yard line will do that. Also dumb coaching.

Enjoy that view in the standings while you can.

pfft, we're resting our starters for the playoffs now

 

[Wolvie]

Wilson is seething inside, you know that. Against his old team, he wanted that opportunity to be the hero.

yeah Russ thought he hated management in Seattle but just married an even worse partner perhaps

Even if they don't convert it, they had all 3 timeouts remaining and would still have gotten the ball back most likely. That's worst case scenario.

 

[fastforward]

ESPN main news stories:

1) Cowboys name possible Prescott replacements.
2) Wilson thwarted in heroic come-back attempt.

 

[Wolvie]

Assuming the Broncos were going to lose that game no matter what, is it better to lose with the missed long 64 over Russ choking on 4th and 5? Maybe the coach did Russ a favor there.

Well, instead of Russ being meme'd, the Head Coach became a meme. So, that happened.

but at least his QB's ego remains intact and now has an even bigger chip on his shoulder which could be motivating for the rest of the season rather than demoralizing with an entire fanbase questioning whether or not they wasted a fortune on you after a single game

I'd rather have Wilson play on 4th & 5 with 40 seconds and 2 time-outs than try a 64-yard FG.

They had all 3 timeouts and it was closer to a minute.

Same. But if Russ fails, there would be a lot of hate

 

[Anointed One]

Shocked The didn’t let Wilson try and pick that up. Crazy.

Agreed. That was stupid

 

[Podunkparte]

HahahahahahahahHHBBBHahahahahaha

haha

Let's Ride

 

[tabascojet]

I.... don't get the joke? ...... what's the joke?

EDIT: AH FUCK I GET IT NOW. Fuck you @tabascojet

Can we add to russ cv he is world class at fucking up a scoring drive at the goaline?

Spoiler

still too soon?

 

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

In Bizarro World sure.

Sometimes too much is made of week one games. I highly doubt Seattle going to take that division

 

[TheRangerDude]

So I was thinking, is Randy Gregory all good to smoke now that he's in Denver? If so, that's totally why he's signed with Denver.
