Week 3 at Seattle

[iknowftbll]

I am usually reluctant to complain about officiating, but the officials certainly did us no favors today. The encroachment that wasn't called on third down that should have given us a third down is most notable. Also thought there were two or three plays they let the Seattle DBs get away things that should have been called.

The only one that got me was that offsides. And on a 3rd down. I'm not sure how they miss that. One ref even threw a flag. I'd love to hear the reasoning for why they picked that one up. I also didn't think the personal foul on Talib was warranted. With all the extracurriculars they allowed throughout the game, that flag on Talib was uncalled for. Other than that, sometimes you get the calls, sometimes you don't. That offsides call was pretty bad, but the Broncos had plenty of other opportunities throughout that game, so we can't blame the loss on that.

The defense played a hell of a game. This is what I expect out of this defense every week. Turnovers, sacks, and slowed down the run. Wilson on PA and rolling out to a dump off pass was the only thing Denver had issues with. Hard to stop when you have to worry about Lynch on the fake or Harvin on the fake plus deal with Wilson's athletic ability. Considering Denver hasnt had any running game at all so far this year the o line is holding there own on pass plays. Teams are just going to go right after Manning and not respect PA at all. The running game plus ball security by Ball has to improve as the season goes on. DT just doesnt look right at all. Hopefully this bye week will help DT out of his funk. Nate Irving is getting better by the week. Against the run and his blitzing ability. Von Miller also looks like he is getting his groove back as well. I like how Denver fought back and didnt just give up. A loss blows but this somewhat reminds me of the Giants who lost to the undefeated Patriots in the regular season but hung with them and knew they could which led to a Super Bowl victory over those same Patriots. I know that was later in the year but Denver should take away some good from this game. Time to rest up.

The time off should help DT. Plus on defense we are getting Danny T back for the next game. Good things ahead for this team.

I agree. The Seahawks get special treatment by the officials.

Ehhhh...... I heard the same statement about the Broncos last week from Chiefs fans.......

There is a lot to take away from this game. It would be one thing if the Broncos went in and pushed the Seahawks around and I don't think any of us would have complained about that. But in the long run, this team played a statement game that may pay dividends as the season moves forward. To be down the way they were, on the road in what many believe to be the toughest place to play in the NFL, and to come storming back and force OT is huge.

There are no moral victories in the NFL, so this game is a LOSS pure and simple. But you do lose games in this league and in the grand scheme of things, a non-conference game on the road is as minor a loss as one can ask for.

I think everyone can quit complaining about the defense. The bad: They allowed an insane completion percentage, and throughout the game failed to contain Wilson. Especially in OT. But let's keep in mind, without that gutsy performance this team would not have even had a chance to force OT. Also, the Broncos won't always be facing a QB who can extend the plays the way Wilson, Smith, and Luck are able to do.



The offense was overly conservative early, and didn't light it up until the game's final minutes. With that said, better late than never. The only Seahawks fans who will talk shit after that game are football illiterates, so I wouldn't worry about them. The ground game needs a lot of work. DT needs to snap out of whatever it is that is slowing him this season. He was MIA until a few decent grabs in the 4th. I am hoping he gets his head right during the bye and emerges a force when the Broncos resume play.

This is actually a good time for the bye week. The Broncos are in good health, and maybe with the time off will look more like the well-oiled machine they were last year. If our defense plays this good every week and the offense begins hitting on all cylinders, this team is going to be nearly impossible to stop.

A loss always sucks, but we can still be proud of this team. They showed a lot of grit, and that is bad news for everyone who is interested in winning a Super Bowl this year. Even the Seahawks.

Go Broncos!

Looks to be DT has a foot injury and very well could be what`s been hampering his play as of late

Well the ref said there was no penalty because the player wasn't in the neutral zone.

I actually think he was right. He wasn't in the neutral zone. He was in the Denver backfield.

You know what's even more lame? Missing an obvious offsides on third down that stops a drive. An infraction that blatant shouldn't ever be missed, period. No excuses.

 

[Mondo Jay]

Resilient effort. Loved the way the D played, they just couldn't stop Wilson on that last drive. Hats off to him.

A bit of a different feeling after this game than the Super Bowl....

Thank you sir... I think we all know refs are gonna make bad call's during a game that can affect either side.. But this dude saying it's some conspiracy theory is flat out stupid... GG by the way and good luck the rest of the way...
