Those two plays aren’t why we lost, but they are microcosms of how we continually muffed up today. I’ve already explained my POV on the game. drops, dumb penalties, clown-like execution on a simple reverse. And we probably missed Ward today.
after that call, we were fighting uphill the rest of the game IMO
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
On both calls against Wright, did anyone notice, they never showed him offsides. Both times the replay was from the offensive backfield. You couldn't even see where he was lined up.
This was a team loss. Defense couldn't stop the run, and the offense could score TDs. Newsome was horrible all day. Feilds at LB was terrible. Drops left and right, and at crucial times. Kareem looked hurt, along with Myles, Cooper, Emerson. DTR has a concussion, he won't be playing next week. All the passing early had me throwing fits. I usually don't bash Kevin for playcalls, but this gameplan was not good.
Once again tied with Pittsburgh, and they have a cake schedule from here on out. I see a slide coming, right out of the wild card race.
Lol. Nice try. You’ll convince some people with that post.
This game can also be summed up by calling out poor execution on O, and bad QB play. Bring on Joltin’ Joe. At least he can throw it 20 yards with accuracy and some tomato sauce on the toss.
Ford: 9 carries for 65 yards .... then we stopped handing him the ball.
Overall, we ran the ball 24 times for 107 yards.
We threw the ball 42 times.
Why?
Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

My questions exactly, it was that bad today for Stefanski. And that's without getting into the reverse to Strong that made absolutely no sense. I like Stefanski but he has these days where he thinks he has to outsmart the other team when all he has to do is keep it simple. Of all days to do this today was not one of them.
Did anyone notice, in the 3rd quarter, down near the endzone. Penalty on the Broncos to make it first an goal. Next play, Hunt in the backfield. And for a second or 2, BEFORE the ball was snapped, the "telestrator" showed exactly where Hunt would run? And, he did. I made my wife rewatch it with me.
Hunt in the backfield. Players lining up. And BAM - that yellow telestrator line showed up for a second or so. Ball was snapped, and that's exactly where hunt ran.
the Garrett/Ward injuries would be catastrophic. Our defense without Ward was already a massive concern

Yes.
Newsome should have played better though still. Guy is a first round pick.
He really hurt us today.
Yeah, Newsome really showed his colors today as to why we play him where we do. He's not a #1 CB and was exposed (I'd bet his grade will be very poor)

Last week poster were calling for Ski to be extended… Bad Ski showed up today. The injuries were just insane. With DTR concussed, we’re either Starting the turnover machine or the old timer. Myles is injured. This game was as deflating as the Chubb game. I won’t count them out, but the Donks whipped our asses for 60 minutes. It was a team loss.
Your feelings and opinions do not add up to facts.
you bring up a good point: it seems like KS is quite hot and cold. Obviously it's a win/loss league, but some games he seems to REALLY have a feel for how to attack a defense and others it's a head scratcher

another note: I've been disappointed in Thornhill. I thought he'd finally bring us a solid FS guy and he's really done nothing

I was at the game, just awful. Constantly hearing Denver fans saying “this is the best defense in the league”? Just an embarrassing performance all around.

You can go ahead and count them out. This season is done.
