OT: Other Sports: Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies etc…Part VII

[The Merchant]

Yeah, shake your damn head, Sean. You're the one who insisted on Lutz.

 

[BobRossColton]

An INT would be wonderful

 

[MonsterMack]

Yeah, shake your damn head, Sean. You're the one who insisted on Lutz.

Lutz has been great. The decision to kick there is dumb

 

[henchman21]

Even if the Broncos pull this off… what a terrible coaching job there.

 

[The Merchant]

Just punt there, god damn...

So f***ing stupid.

 

[MonsterMack]

I'll take it....
Awful game all around.

 

[sethro109]

Holy f*** we win!

 

[Bonzai12]

What a disaster of a game

 

[BobRossColton]

More learning for Nix in the rain.

 

[henchman21]

Bailed out! A win is a win!

 

[sethro109]

I really don't like Vance, but I have to admit he's been beyond fantastic this year.

 

[The Merchant]

Sean Payton deserved to lose this game. Luckily his defense and the weather had other plans

 

[famicommander]

I'll take the W any way it comes but holy crap what a terrible game from both offenses and both head coaches. Teams played hot potato with that W, neither of them wanted it at all.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Been catching bits and pieces of this game, honestly reminds me a bit of playoff hockey in the 90s. Not because of the goonery but because so many stadiums couldn't keep up with the heat and humidity and had out of date ice-systems. The puck would bounce a bit in the 1st but by the 2nd it would just stick, the mush would get everywhere and nobody could stick handle.

Looked like the weather was having a similar effect here on this game, just kinda removing skill from the equation.

 

[Bonzai12]

It sure does seem like McGlinchey’s job is gonna possibly be given to this kid replacing him. The line is actually looking cohesive.

That was supposed to be a slam dunk signing too. So much wasted money.

Yeah and I just checked the cap stuff - unfortunately his deal sucks too for getting rid of. They’re basically locked into him for at least the next year and a half.

 

[Pokecheque]

Wow, other than Rodgers covering his face in disgust I took no pleasure whatsoever from that win. What a f***ing disaster the Broncos are.

 

[Hasbro]

Meh. A win's a win's.

For the love of god no more bubble screens!

 

[ANewHope]

Are people crazy? The Broncos are in a full rebuild. They have a 50 million dollar dead cap hit while missing a ton of 1st round picks the past few seasons. Most had them finishing bottom 3. We're starting 1 first round pick on D with a rookie QB that has zero weapons.

It was ugly as shit but given how tough the schedule was to start the season the fact that were 2-2 is better than even the most optimistic Bronco fan would have hoped for.

 

[ANewHope]

To an extent I’d agree. There are coaches who have gone through multiple QBs and stayed at a high level. Payton simply hasn’t shown that yet.

Belichick's record without Brady is 82-98. Sean Payton is above .500 without Bree's. I'd say his last year in NOLA and the first two in Denver have went better than expected in terms of W's/L's. He still has lots to prove in terms of taking the next step without Bree's but I think he's shown he can prevent a team from falling apart.

His decision making and playcalling have been annoying at times. Lots of season left but if the Broncos somehow rattle off 7-8 wins this year they'll be further ahead than people thought.

To me… .500 wouldn’t be the bar for success.

 

[ANewHope]

To me… .500 wouldn’t be the bar for success.

Never said it was. Has he had a 12 win team without Brees? Do you think the Broncos last year or this year should win 10 games? His last year with NOLA he went 9-8 with QB's like Winston/Book/Siemian/Hill. He went 9-3 with Winston/Hill starting at QB.

I'm not even a massive Payton fan but show me the coaches that can rip off 10 wins with garbage rosters. I'm more worried about his roster building at this point honestly. It'll be a massive draft for him this year.

That match was like watching two clowns battle each other in a marathon sprint with those huge clown shoes.

Not that I know anything about the no fun league, but the worst thing you lot want is Nix to be average. Not good enough to get anywhere, but not bad enough to cut ties with considering the Bronies drafted him at 12th overall and invested in that. You either want him to be an all-star or be so bad that the two parties can move on and Denver can reinvest in another QB with a high pick.

Confirmed, 95% of the posters in here are pissed this isn't an 0-17 tank job.

Sounds like video game thinking. Most QBs are around average. Even guys that look very talented can end up with average or worse results. As much as we can act like the NFL is a QB and 21 other dudes, it's not really how it works. Guys like Payton and the richest owners in the league aren't going to accept a team that just dicks around until they find a star QB.
