Game Thread: Week 2: Denver Broncos at Pittsburgh Steelers

[Draft Crazy]

Driskel didn’t have much of a chance on the last play. Wilkinson is playing like your typical every year Denver Broncos RT.

Bummer about Lock. Out 2-6 weeks. No Von Miller, no Lock, and in week 1 no Sutton. Lock is still an unknown, I'll acknowledge, but that's a lot of significant star power missing through 2 games. 2020 has just been an awesome year.

Let's assume Lock misses the whole 6 weeks. Can this team gut out a 3-3 record? Is it unrealistic to hope for 4-2? They played the Steelers well, and the Titans for that matter. Looking a lot like it'll be a year of "almost" for this team. Play tight, fail to close. Sort of like a lot of games in 2019. It's early and a lot can happen. Awful start so far though.

drew Lock may not be built to play NFL football. Not his fault but some bodyjust can’t withstand the grind.

sucks to see Dak and Josh Allen show up for every game.


Wouldn’t surprise me if Sutton didn’t tear his ACL

LOL, CEH with the sunshine.

Tough way to start the year. But if the Broncos can get to 3-5 I like their chances to make a late season run. We knew there would be struggles with this young offense. Adding a significant injury list doesn't help. Maybe this team can get healthy in time for a run.

Maybe not. Who knows. It's more fun to be optimistic.

Driscoll played better than anyone could have expected. KJ - looks like a keeper - Jeudy showed his skills -Gordon had a good game.

Losing the ball on downs on the two - sucks. I thought that was why they got Gordon - 3rd and two - you know your going for it on 4th down - give Gordon the ball twice and let him earn his paycheck. That's my big gripe today.

Same with the goal line series last week. No Gordon
A win vs Ten and that lost yesterday we’d have a whole different perspective after two games ( gritty team) but failing to make plays in crunch time is the difference between the good teams and the not so good teams.
Turns out that safety was huge as well.

You want huge balls in crunch time how about the KC kicker

53 then 2 58 yard FG on the last play of the game. That was the most impressive play in the afternoon games yesterday

I was just going to come in here and complain that someone was keeping this thread alive.

It's the only thing that lived from our Broncos/Steelers matchup on Sunday.

Sorry. Been busy. I have it created now.

Too bad Eli got beat like a drum on the Lock injury Drew had no time.
Hamler has a slant wide open One safety to beat for a TD

Yup. Stinky broke down the film well. Bolles also messed up on the play. If one of the two OT's do their job on the play Drew Lock is playing this week.

True but Eli was the primary culprit. He got beat so fast felt like Brady in the AFCC game in 2015. Great play call by Fritz' nephew. I'm not 100% convinced Munchuck is not teaching Bolles that vertical set so take Stink's critique of 72 with a grain of salt.

I think we can all agree Wilkinson absolutely sucks

Right- Most definitely primary culprit was Wilkinson. Ugh!

LOL - the scary thing is Wilkerson is supposed to be one of Mike Munchak's favorites - according to news accounts I've read. It takes a while to build a good Olineman - but Bolles is good enough after two games to contemplate resigning him. Detmer must be bad or dumb if he's not ready yet.

I wonder if Wilk would be any good on the inside? He was terrible last year and he picked up right we’re he left off playing tackle, dismally. He has zero lateral movement, and it’s almost like he is two seconds too slow getting out of his stance. He’s going to get our qb’s killed
