Broncofan Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) BTW, this game should reinforce what @lomaxgrUK has been hammering that we need to evolve with our passing O. The matchup said we'd kill them in the run game. But their absolute lack of respect for the pass game allowed KC D to crash the run game hard early, then our absymal pass pro exposed on 2nd/3rd and long. Our inability to set the tone with a decent pass game made it too easy for a very flawed KC D to just annihilate our O. Remember that our O only scored the TD because of the 2 key 3rd down penalties (one of which was an absolute gift play by Frank Clark), and the other missed FG was also a result of a terrible play by the S on the Sutton big play, it was well covered. Doesn't take away from the play of the skill guys, but our OL (both T's especially) and Flacco's weaknesses should be EYE-OPENING for those who think Flacco has some sort of future with our club's path to success. He absolutely does NOT. We absolutely should target LT, C so we can move McGovern inside, and a 2nd playmaker WR in our first 4 picks on Days 1-2, because BPA is almost certainly going to be close with the depth of the talent pool. And then pray Lock is the answer...or hit 2021 hard. The best news is that so far Elway's committed 5M extra of the Flacco restructure, so the net effect of moving on is only that much. Not a hard decision. Flacco isn't our problem - but he's also clearly never going to be our solution. That should be plain as day after the showings we've seen, even last week. We just faced an O that was in far worse shape than us with Mariota at the helm. We absolutely need better OL play, a young 2nd WR to complement Sutton - but we also need the O to evolve into a unit that can throw the ball well on any down. Until then, we're dead in the water as a legit contender. Edited October 18, 2019 by Broncofan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver wins just enough games to keep them from a fire sale and the admittance of a rebuild. I disagree this years gonna be different.

Shannon Sharp would have taken the hit and then f***cked the Chief. I'm so mad at fant, McManus you have one job!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got beat, and didn't even bother to hide anything but total WWE takedown technique. No kidding. I said that was a bad pick when it was made and I stand by that assertion. Noah Fant isn’t far away from being a bust either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Helicopter Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I think the short week impaired this squads ability to perform at a basic level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's being betrayed mightily tonight, lol At least 3 of the sacks (with the fumble 6) his inability to sense / react to pressure cost us as much as bad OL play. It's not all his fault, not by a longshot. But he's also not the solution. Not by a longshot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebestever6 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Defense has played well I think. The 4th down miss, turn over by Flacco have been the difference. Plus bolles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakeDenverGreatAgain Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 The first down home run ball to the receiver that just ran a deep pattern and half added it back to the huddle is gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 On that 3rd down, both T's got beat, and Flacco was a deer in the headlights. Just a microcosm of the whole game in that one drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
