Colts gave the game away for sure but that's not a playoff team in Indy. They probably need more rebuilding in house and still have no idea if Richardson is a real franchise QB or that's just hoping and praying. Hard to believe a lot of people bet him to win MVP before the season, he's as raw and lacking in passing talent as he seemed in college. People just think anyone can be Lamar need a reality check.
An oh yeah for all the true Bronco fans out there, when was the last time our special teams didn't screw us over and helped us win games? I can't remember, that's the Payton factor for sure.
Richardson was appallingly bad. I had no idea he was that bad as this was my first true viewing of him at this level. Nix was not good today, but at least his errors today are fixable, some bad reads etc. Richardson's errors are complete head scratchers.
Richardson is missing 3 yard throws by 5ft. Trying finesse it when it needs to be on a line. He's not even close at NFL passing at this point. There is project but he's past that. Not sure how you fix extreme accuracy issues. He's basically Tebow level accurate. The only time in the game that I was ever worried was when the Colts were running since I knew there was absolutely no way Richardson was going to beat us with his arm.
As for the Broncos and Payton, people don't have to love him as a coach but you can't deny that there has been a complete culture shift from the shit shows that were here prior. He's got this team playing like a team. When the offense sucks the defense and special teams step up. When we need the offense to make plays they make them. It's how a functioning team works. Something we haven't had since 2015.
