I don't see how you can justify keeping this coaching staff around with this insane playcalling.

Madden playcaller would do a better job.

Are you SURE you want to pass on 3rd and 1? Are you really sure?!?!? Press X and Triangle and confirm in the microphone.

Are you SURE you want to punt of 4th and 1 in OT? No f*** you, it's a run play. Go play FIFA.

Hahahaha holy f**k Aaron Rodgers actually liked Hackett? What the hell did he like about this moron? HE made football fun for Rodgers?

The Broncos are cooked.
Hackett's offense is designed for quick timing routes, which Rodgers is one of the best at.

There are constantly guys open for quick hitters and Russ just isn't getting the ball out of his hands.

Russ has never been a timing passer. Russ in Hackett's offense is a literal worse possible option. Something will give sooner than later as these two will never mesh.

My hope is they somehow rid themselves of Russ and Hackett. Both have worn out their welcome already here.

Hackett will get the punt before Russ. You have to hope they would get a coach that will play to the strengths of his QB instead of trying to force him into a system he's not built for (and then on top of that making terrible f***ing playcalls).

I'm willing to give Russ a shot under a real head coach. Damn shame the Broncos don't know what those are.

Guys like Wilson, Murray, Jackson are very different than most QBs that you can kind of plug and play a chunk of your offence with.

Plus Denver also doesn’t have an Adams level WR.

Wilson and Murray due to their height have limitations with the middle of the field. Jackson has a fairly strong arm but can’t hit his WR deep.

Squandering a damn good defensive line this season.

Only one team has scored 20+
What else is new…? For the past few seasons the Broncos has always had been a good defensive team. It has always been the offense that held them down. I thought the team offense couldn’t get any worst but oh boy was I wrong…22-23 Broncos are just horrendous!!!

Read the Rams are trying to trade Cam Akers. How about Jeudy for Akers?

They should also see if the can’t get anything for Albert O (unlikely) and Randy Gregory

I feel bad for everyone on D. They’ve been fantastic this year but there’s 0 point of them even touching the field unfortunately.

Funny thing is... this is the type of offense that Russ wants to run. He was openly critical of the type of offense that made him successful. :laugh:

Avs are coming off a cup. 1 FC Union Berlin is in first place almost a third of the way into the season. The German NT looks like it will surprise people at the World Cup with the way our kids have been ascending over the past year. The Giants are 5-1, if I still cared about american football.

...and the Knicks look locked in to a play-in spot during one of the most loaded drafts in recent memory...


It's crazy how much lower my expectations are for that franchise than for any other team I cheer for lol. Even locked into this treadmill, I'm happy for this season because it's a young team and the FO finally got those kids a starting-quality PG to run the offense...the first we've had in decades.

But hey, maybe we can snag a 2nd/3rd tier star like Lavine next offseason without burning through too much of our assets to be able to afford Zion if/when things don't work out in New Orleans...the way we couldn't do with a clear tier-2 star like Mitchell this summer.

He really is an idiot. Pete Carroll made this man a boatload of money because he tailored the offense around his strengths.
Russ appears to be the complete opposite of former tennis great Andre Agassi. When he came onto the scene he was marketed as a Rebel, with his long hair, neon color attire, black shorts or sometimes acid jean shorts. Had some success, but it was really all a facade. He was really a quiet guy with a thinning hairline, wearing a wig. Had much more success on the court when he rocked the buzz cut and went to the all white attire, losing the rebel look. Seemed more at peace with himself.

Complete opposite of Russ, who seems like a guy who started off as himself but has since bought into the hype from a PR manager or something.

Well, Agassi had an excuse. He was also battling addiction at the time he was "rebelling", IIRC he became a much more disciplined player and person once he got clean.

I dunno what to make of Russ. I just know Hackett can't handle him...or anything else.

I did unfollow Russ on Twitter though.

Russ is Icarus... flew too close to the sun and had his wax wings melted. The question still unanswered is if he will drown.

Hackett is very much at fault here but Russ is also a huge problem. He doesn't want to play the way he did in Seattle, he despises that style. He doesn't want to run around anymore and be the super mobile QB who had so much success. Instead he wants to be a pocket QB when that is arguably his worst trait.

The Broncos need a veteran head coach who can put Russ in his place and tell him "this is what the offense is whether you like it or not."
