Game Thread: Week 11 - SNF- Minnesota Vikings @ Denver Broncos

[Mingo]

It's nice to see Riley Moss in for some snaps. The Broncos will win this one (if they score a TD).

And that’s a big if.

Vikings go down and score touchdown, Broncos answer with a three and out, shame it looks like we’re back to playing as we did in weeks 1-6

Not so fast - my friend,

Not so fast - my friend,

This game just isn’t ours.

They had a big chance to come out after both Vegas and LA lost today, but they just can’t get out of their own way.

This team is a work in progress. Not dominating against one of the hottest teams in the game right now isn't surprising. The team is very much in this game.

While true it doesn’t make much fun to watch. This isn’t the type of uninspired performance I would expect from a team fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive.

It's never fun to watch unless the team is bludgeoning everyone in their path. Even the 2015 Broncos weren't always fun to watch. Well, I like defensive football so I guess that aspect of it was fun. But my point is just because a team isn't always fun to watch doesn't mean they're not moving in the right direction.

Trust me I’m not expecting them to plow through anybody, but they could’ve really made a statement tonight that they’ve turned a corner and yet it’s more of the same of why it was so dreadful to watch them the first 6 weeks of the season.

 

[Duffman]

This is exactly what I’m talking about, first and goal from the 9 after the defense gets a clutch interception, and they are forced to kick another field goal.

4 redzone trips, 4 FG’s. That’s why this team isn’t taken seriously,

The game is not over yet. A win, no matter how it comes, is a statement.

 

[Duffman]

3 turnovers, 9 points.

 

[Duffman]

Looks like we’re gonna need the defense to actually score if we want hope winning this game.

 

[iknowftbll]

5-5.

From the east coast, good night everyone!

 

[Duffman]

Ok ok I was wrong, the team played hard to the very end and while I didn’t like the way they got there a win’s a win.

I'm... so... happy...

It's all good - we had 7 years of watching the Broncos find a way to lose - it's not surprising or without reason you felt the way you did at that point in the game. But this is how winners win - they find a way. The really cool thing is this kind of winning is contagious.

Zactly. The nfl isn’t the NCAA. You don’t get credit for style points, only for winning. The Broncos aren’t doing it pretty and are still somehow one of the hottest teams in the game right now.

The Prophet Mingo!
