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

[Duffman]

The Defense has been good today but let’s hope that continues.

 

[SpringStein]

A lot to like about this game, IMO. Pretty much the definition of complimentary football. Alber O doesn’t fumble at the 2, and Hamler doesn’t drop that TD pass we are looking at a dominant performance.

RBs look very good. The rookie Williams is a tough runner and Gordon can still break a long one now and again. Solid performance all around.

Hearing Jeudy’s x-rays are negative so hopeful it’s nothing serious.

Go Broncos!

Sports betting was just made legal in AZ. Made a sizable bet on Broncos to cover. Glad I did. Go Broncos!

 

[Duffman]

I don’t know how sustainable going for it on fourth down all the time is but I like that Vic is in a ballsy mindset so far.

had Hamler caught the easy TD Jeudy does not get hurt.

Could’ve been worse. Hopefully he can come back better than ever. Will see if it’s Cleveland, Hinton or Williams getting the nod in his absence.

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

 

[megalodon30]

Side not, Baker Mayfield is a turd! Could’ve had KC 0-1 if he knew how to lead a comeback.

Broncos 19, Giants 13. A win is a win, but there are no easy wins in the NFL. Especially since this roster/staff is unproven. So I'm hopeful, even confident the Broncos win, but it'll be closer than we think it should be.

The first half was close....

 

[CEH]

150 yards rushing
keep that up
not a huge fan of running out of shotgun.
play action comes from under center as does the big running plays.

 

[Speardog_Atlas]

Left a lot of points on the board. Three drives deep in the red zone and only have 10 points to show for it. But a lead is a lead. D stays stout and we got this W.

Teddy playing about as well as can be expected. Moving the ball. Not overly impressive, but getting the job done. Now just gotta get the run game going and milk clock.

Yeah, that is what Teddy does.

 

[Orange Crush77]

I think Teddy played great.

Secondary needs to tighten up. Darby played solid

 

[CEH]

the West could go 8-0

 

[CEH]

Secondary needs to tighten up. Darby played solid

simmons needs to catch the ball. easy red zone INT for someone being paid so much

could be a big non play in a closer game.
same with Fuller failing to catch one right through his hands

 

[Orange Crush77]

This is a different team mentality. Bridgewater showed command of the offense and kept drives alive. When he freelanced, he made the plays. This is a great start.

At least you and I watched the same game.

Compare Bridgewater to the rookies QBs today. This team is ready to go and shouldn't have to wait for a rookie QB to catch up.

This Bronco team has a togetherness that will carry them all season.

I thought the Giants were actually better than I thought they would be.
