The first 3 games definitely didn't go as many of us had hoped. Now traveling to the Jets for a Thursday Night game in a battle of two 0-3 teams. The Jets were bad offensively and scoring only 7 points and turning the ball over 3 times including 2 pick 6s.

I do remember the last time we went to the Jets and thought we were going to be able to get a much needed win and ended up be run out of the building.

This team needs to find a way to get a win. The players need to play better, the coaches need to coach better, and we need to stop making the critical mistakes. This season is not lost, but need to get a win on Thursday.

I am not a fan of the Thursday night game, but getting a mini bye afterwards could be very helpful, especially if they can get win #1.

Really don't want to lose to a USC QB, but it's hard to see a W coming on a short week with where this team is at. Maybe Bortles comes out with his best game ever. Or Rypien gets a shot and shows a little moxie. If it's Driskel again, pencil in 0-4.

I said I have a hard time seeing this 0-3 Broncos team take it back east on a short week and get a win, even against a pretty listless Jets team. Hoping I'm wrong, but I think a second consecutive 0-4 start is in the works.

Thursday night games on the road suck, but so do the Jets. Sooooo, well we might too. ;)

I've seen worse Bronco teams with less excuses.

Gotta root for Rypien to start and expect Jets to win. This will be huge for the tankathon.

My biggest concern about the coaching staff is the adjustment or willingness to make them.

How do we keep throwing Elijah Wilkinson out here with Demar Dotson on the roster? What is the point in having 12 year vet if he isn't better then what we currently see? You don't sign a 12 year vet to develop or backup a cruddy starting RT. If it was insurance for a good RT that would be one thing.

Jake Rodgers is on our PS and played better then what Wilkinson is showing us now.

I also think it is important to note that Wilkinson had off field foot surgery and to me, it doesn't appear he is healthy. If it is his injury, fine, but throw something else out there because he is hurting us and cost us our QB and any shot at the season.

Bradley Chubb clearly is not 100% either. We may see a better version of him as the season goes on as he may not be fully back to 100% until next season. Obviously with Miller out it hurts Chubb as well.

Who decided Vannett was a good trade? He can't block or catch a ball.

Hope I'm wrong, but I see a Jets win, 21-17. After another frustrating and near-unwatchable game, and in the spirit of "almost" (as in almost winning, again, which is something of a recurring theme in the Fangio era), trailing 21-3 going into the 4th, the Broncos mount a comeback. Driskel-Rypien-Bortles leads two scoring drives to close the gap to 4. Then the defense forces a turnover and the offense marches straight down the field...only for D-R-B to throw a pick on 1st and goal.

The score prediction is tough. Jets should win with Darnold but they can't stand their coach. Darnold wants to win to keep Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields away. (Or maybe he wants to lose so he can go somewhere else) ;)

He'd better be careful what he wishes for. He may get traded to the Broncos!
