Game Thread: Week 1: Denver Broncos vs Seattle Seahawks

[blstoker]

3 passes in a row ... hmmm.......

Who cares? They're working (and one was an audible). They can't just run the ball - and since half time they've been better in both pass and run by less predictable and executing.

We are now eating their lunch and dating their girl.

Really want to see a TD. Put Nix into desperation mode.

We can already see the narrative for the season. Any game they lose it will be because Grubb called too many pass plays! You must run every down!
It's the Bevell years all over again.

starting to revert.

Lets get a damn TD this drive!

Maybe they should take back the TD and run instead

 

[blstoker]

TD Charb!

 

[WizardHawk]

Wait, we can't count that TD because it was a pass play! lulz

Lets keep going. Eat that clock run that ball and walk out with a nice win from a HORRIBLE start.

Also dont be stupid, you run the ball to set up the pass and where have they had the most success this game? running the ball thats were. Had they RAN THE BALL to start the game i doubt Denver sniffs the lead. I never said " DONT PASS" you Ducking morons. I swear to god some of you guys act like little children.

As rough as this looked for half the game, it's on track to be a blowout. We are imposing our will on both sides.

Weird how easy it is to pass when we establish the running game....

23 pass, 22 run overall. Denver's at 33 pass 19 run. I think the split is good.

I'm more interested the calls than the splits. early we were running long developing plays (or Geno was trying to take those routes) and the line didn't hold up. We've loosened the d with runs and more timing patterns and the longer routes are starting to have time. I'm ok with it.

The second half the Seahawks have turned the offense around and it’s rolling now. Up 13 the defense has to like the position they have.

 

[WizardHawk]

I won't claim victory over wins, nor lament Grubb on losses until he's had enough reps under his belt and that won't be for half a season anyway.

DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!

 

[blstoker]

Defense has played amazing against this team today. I would love it if this is the defense we have all year.

 

[blstoker]

Great tackle by dodson!

Nice adjustments for sure. And that D is still rolling pretty solid.

Last several years were used to seeing the defense look just lost, wide open receivers with no defenders near the play … Today every catch a defender is always right there, very good sign … It’s only one game vs a rookie QB so we can’t get overly excited, but it’s still nice to see …

 

[JMR]

You know what's conspicuously absent from this defense? Committing bail-out penalties.

 

[blstoker]

179 yards of offense and 17 points since halftime.

never understood pitch plays when inside the 20 teams are loaded up then.
