Broncos Gameday Thread: Broncos vs Chargers 10/30/16

[Northman]

We should just play defense all game.

[VonDoom]

Norwood sucks

[BroncoWave]

While that pick wasn't Siemian's fault, he was due for it after the 3 SD dropped.

[FanInAZ]

Defense!!!!!!

[Az Snake]

Crick it bat !!!

[wayninja]

Still a 5 point game.

[Northman]

The Broncos need some kind of leader on offense that can just take over the game when they need to.

[BORDERLINE]

Why did we pass it on that pick?!?!? Run the ball drain the clock. Up two scores!!!
Get it together offense

I would assume it's one of our WR's?

[sneakers]

how about a nice drive here to ice it?

[wayninja]

Get it together offense

Uh, because we have Norwood. He's a player in the NFL, apparently.

[Az Snake]

Put Von in the Offense, let him play both.

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

We need points on this drive.

[BORDERLINE]

I would assume it's one of our WR's?

Well the Broncos pay a guy (88) leader type of money. Yet at times is disconnected

[FanInAZ]

OK O, time for the game clinching drive.

[Northman]

I would assume it's one of our WR's?

I have yet to see any player on offense get fired up in guys faces when things are struggling.

[Nomad]

Get 7 here, BRONCOS!!

[BORDERLINE]

Uh, because we have Norwood. He's a player in the NFL, apparently.

Why do we put Trevor in a position to pass it to him?!?! We have DT and Eman!!!

[wayninja]

OK O, time for the game clinching drive.

Or the buttocks clenching drive.

[Az Snake]

There's Virgil !!!

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

VIRGIL GREEN! I love you.

[wayninja]

Why do we put Trevor in a position to pass it to him?!?! We have DT and Eman!!!

Yeah, sorry, my sarcasm needs work.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Patrick Smyth ‏@psmyth12 9m

Good news on DC Wade Phillips - precautionary test results all normal so far. Contrary to a FOX report, he does not have a broken leg.

[tomjonesrocks]

A rare positive offenseve play. Too soon to kneel?

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

WHAT A ******* CATCH DT! Oh my ******* god!

[Hawgdriver]

wow wow wow
wow wow wow

[Az Snake]

Thomas clutch !!!

[Mike]

Big time catch there DT. Wow/

[Poet]

Dt is a god!

[FanInAZ]

Thomas!!!!!!

[wayninja]

DT 40+ yard catch to the 2 yard line!!! (for nomad)!!!!!

[weazel]

Awesome! Deep pass

[Bronco4ever]

Siemian be like.... Enough of this shit.

[spikerman]

Wow

[sneakers]

awww yissssss

[BORDERLINE]

Well thanks DT

I'll shut up now

[CrazyHorse]

Ahead 5 points with 8 minutes left. Come out on offense slinging it!

[BroncoWave]

DT drops the easiest passes and then makes catches like that....

[spikerman]

A TD ends it.

[Nomad]

DT 40+ yard catch to the 2 yard line!!! (for nomad)!!!!!

Outstanding!!

[Northman]

Wow

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

Come on guys, punch it in.

[sneakers]

STOP SPOILiNG THE GAME FOR ME!!! MY STREAM IS A FULL MINUTE BEHIND YOUR TV BROADCAST

[tomjonesrocks]

Our usual stellar red zone offense. Just ******* bring on McManus.

[wayninja]

booker no gain, booker no gain (maybe loss), incomplete.

Will try for 3.

8 point difference still makes me feel good about the game.

[Mike]

Man, we sure do like steppin on our dicks inside the 10.

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

Ugh. Like seriously... 2 yards, and we lose 2. Somebody should have told them they were going the wrong way.

[sneakers]

lets get a touchdown here

[wayninja]

Our usual stellar red zone offense. Just ******* bring on McManus.

I could have been worse. At least we kept the ball.

[Az Snake]

5:19

[wayninja]

lets get a touchdown here

I don't want to tell you how it ends. Spoiler... everyone dies.

[BORDERLINE]

I'll take the 3. But dammit we need to put the game away.

[Poet]

I don't want to tell you how it ends. Spoiler... everyone dies.

Whoa....

I don't think I like this anymore.

[Bronco4ever]

Let's go D! Moar turnovers!

[tomjonesrocks]

Flat out ******* hate this offense.

[Northman]

We have no killer instinct. Its quite sad.

[wayninja]

STOP SPOILiNG THE GAME FOR ME!!! MY STREAM IS A FULL MINUTE BEHIND YOUR TV BROADCAST

I just realized that my clock is a minute ahead.

Kia commercial so frosty so hype.

[Nomad]

I don't want to tell you how it ends. Spoiler... everyone dies.

Funny!

[VonDoom]

SD probably should have kicked the PAT after the penalty. Would be a seven point game now

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

Let's go D!

[wayninja]

SD probably should have kicked the PAT after the penalty. Would be a seven point game now

Yep, that and the blocked XP are ending up being huge.

[Nomad]

Geaux :defense:

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

Can we please stop them?

[tomjonesrocks]

Have to hope the D can pull another miracle as the worst offense in the AFC if not the NFL will be of little use.

[wayninja]

Don't play like BTB's stream... soft!

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

Defense is completely MIA right now.

[Northman]

Man we love giving up long first downs.

[wayninja]

Er... let's hope we can stop the conversion?

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

Stop em, D!

[Northman]

Didnt expect the defense to totally take a shit right now.

[tomjonesrocks]

This goes to OT it's Chargers all day.

[wayninja]

1st and goal SD. ****.

[Nomad]

Turnover for the :defense: coming

[Tned]

Didnt expect the defense to totally take a shit right now.

SD has nearly a 6 minute time of possession advantage, defense is probably gassed.

[Hawgdriver]

2d and goal. 3d and goal. I like this trend.

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

2 more stops, D. Let's do this, boys.

[Northman]

SD has nearly a 6 minute time of possession advantage, defense is probably gassed.



They still are our crutch though. This is what they were built for.

[Hawgdriver]

4th and goal. Let's go D.

[Tned]

This is likely the ball game.

[FanInAZ]

1 more time :defense:

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

One more stop

[Hawgdriver]

Doss like a boss.

[FanInAZ]

Defense!!!!!

[Poet]

This game is intense.

[Tned]

They still are our crutch though. This is what they were built for.

They are both crutch (Denver's crutch) and clutch.

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

We need a first down now. Come on, offense.

[tomjonesrocks]

Defense the hero again but I'm sick of this shit.

This team has major ******* problems.

[Joel]

Dear, GOD, just don't turn it over again....

[Bronco4ever]

Goal line stand baby! Woot woooooooooot!

[CrazyHorse]

This has been one of the weirdest games.

[Nomad]

Turnover on downs works :D

Damn fine job, :defense:

[Az Snake]

Way To Go Defense !!!

[BroncoWave]

LORENZO DOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 HYYYYYYYYYYPE~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wayninja]

They are both crutch (Denver's crutch) and clutch.

#clutchcrutch

[sneakers]

WOOOhooooo Defense!!!!!

[spikerman]

Ok.... nothing stupid here

[BORDERLINE]

At this point. Do we run up the middle 3 times make them burn TO and have our defense go close it out???
The way this offense is operating (very inconsistent).....

[wayninja]

I love how Doss made no attempt whatsoever to catch it and instead just batted it down.

[Northman]

Just need a couple of first downs.

[Tned]

Defense the hero again but I'm sick of this shit.

This team has major ******* problems.

They are 6-2 with a first year starter (he's 5-1) and a remade offensive line. I think "major ******* problems" is a bit of an over-reaction.

[BroncoWave]

I love how Doss made no attempt whatsoever to catch it and instead just batted it down.

That's that Tulane education. He's a smart guy! :D

[spikerman]

At this point. Do we run up the middle 3 times make them burn TO and have our defense go close it out???

Yes

[wayninja]

True. At least record isn't one of them.

[Hawgdriver]

Nomad: Wade Phillips "antsy to get out of the hospital"

[spikerman]

QB sneak twice and punt

[wayninja]

So... WE used a timeout?

[CrazyHorse]

That's that Tulane education. He's a smart guy! :D

Had he caught in in the endzone it actually would have been a touchback at the 20 so it would have been better.

[spikerman]

Bad call

[wayninja]

Okung, Okung, Okung...

where have I heard that name before?

[MOtorboat]

Denver gets lucky.

[ShaneFalco]

******* trojan horse from seattle

[Poet]

I don't think Okung held there.

[Joel]

At least we got it out of the end zone before the hold this time; 8 pt lead's a Hell of a lot better than 6.

[weazel]

Well they ran 10 seconds off the clock

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

My heart is going to explode.

[wayninja]

Had he caught in in the endzone it actually would have been a touchback at the 20 so it would have been better.

I think he would have been tackled right at the one.

Having said that... didn't make much difference.

[Az Snake]

That's only the second offensive holding on Denver today that I can recall.
Heck of an improvement.
Punt it deep Dixon !!!

[BroncoWave]

Had he caught in in the endzone it actually would have been a touchback at the 20 so it would have been better.

Yeah but bad things can happen when you try to catch it. Ball can still pop up in the air. Slamming it to the ground there is the smart play.

[Joel]

Okay, D: Chug the rest your first cup of gatorade and get your ass back out there again.

[Northman]

Sanders was going to be wide open if Siemien had seen him.

[Bronco4ever]

Hell. Of. A. Punt.

[Hawgdriver]

Punter is not a position of concern imo.

[weazel]

That's a punt!

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

Hell of a punt from Riley Dixon. Finally. Just when we really needed it too. Good on the kid.

[wayninja]

"What a kick by Riley Dixon!"

Uttered for the first time, ever.

[Nomad]

Seal the deal, BRONCOS! Just win the game.

[FanInAZ]

Dixson!!!!!!

[BORDERLINE]

What a disaster guys!!!!

But Riley Dixon with the boomer!!!!

[CrazyHorse]

Nice punt!

[MOtorboat]

That was a brutal offensive possession. Thankfully, the rookie comes through.

[BroncoWave]

About ****ing time Dixon!

[sneakers]

Punt of the Century

[Hawgdriver]

2 minute warning, Denver up 8, SD has 2? timeouts and ball near their own 40 with a 2nd and 7.

[Bronco4ever]

Dixon for president.

[Slick]

Great punt!

[VonDoom]

Up to the defense ... again

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

It's time to eat, Von, Wolfe, Ware and co.

[Northman]

Time of the wolf is NOW.

[Hawgdriver]

SD 1 t/o. Need a sack.

[Nomad]

Geaux :defense:

[Hawgdriver]

Crick impressing today.

[wayninja]

Jj crick watt!!!

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

Ware was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo close!

[Hawgdriver]

Great motor by Von.

[FanInAZ]

1 more 1 last time :defense:

[wayninja]

So.. game basically mirror image of last SD game...

[Hawgdriver]

Championship defense.

[sneakers]

knock it down!

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

Woooooooooooohoooooooooooooooo! We won it for Wade. That was a gutsy win, boys.

[FanInAZ]

Defense Wins the Game!!!!!!

[BORDERLINE]

Punched them in the mouth !!!!!!

[Hawgdriver]

Wolfe sending Rivers back with a present lol.

[Bronco4ever]

Ugly but a W.

[sneakers]

ahhhhh san diego just called a time out and it is 4th and 10

[tomjonesrocks]

Denver gets the win as unimpressively as possible.

Offense gets negative team balls.

[Hawgdriver]

This was a weird, intense, and hugely satisfying win.

[Northman]

I just so ****** with Missy and our roomate. lol

[Nomad]

Ugly but a W.

The win is all that matters, though giving a division rival an ass kickin would of been better. :D

[Az Snake]

Great Stop Defense !
Thank you Broncos !!
carr, you're next !!!

I disagree. I was very impressed with Denver's defense. Maybe we were watching different games?

[wayninja]

Turnovers, 2 4th down stops near the end of the game. Defense was incredibly on point today.

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

Denver gets the win as unimpressively as possible.

Except for Emmanuel and DT. And Virgil. And Booker just because.

Amazing that the game was that close considering the pick six, and two others returned inside the 10. Defense was playing at a GOAT level today other than the first drive and last up until 1st and goal.

[tomjonesrocks]

This was a weird, intense, and hugely satisfying win.

Not even a little satisfying. This offense is ******* dogshit.

[wayninja]

I just so ****** with Missy and our roomate. lol

Wow, congrats on the 3 way.

I might be misreading this.

[BroncoWave]

Dude you are the most miserable mother ****** on the planet.

[Hawgdriver]

I get that. Moments and stretches of incompetence that need to be fixed. And I won't try to change your mind...I get it.

But I am super satisfied precisely because it was so fugging ugly.

[BORDERLINE]

This offense needs to get their heads out of their ass. Plain and simple, this defense will hold it down for the most part. the offense cannot leave points on the field with turnovers. This game should have gone much like the Tampa Game. This offense almost cost us. Thy have to step it up.

[BroncoWave]

How can you be pissed off after a win? Unbelievable.

[wayninja]

[tomjonesrocks]

Whatever. Herculean effort by the D yet again gets a big win against a division rival - I just think it's utterly hollow.

This is a terrible offense. Not average. Absolutely, inexcusably, awful.

If there was a picture of an NFL pretender this is it.

You do remember that Denver won a SB like this last year right? Not saying we will repeat but this isnt anything new here.

[Hawgdriver]

tjr, rock the pessimism. It's all good dude. I can respect your doubts. But go get laid or something for chrissake. Sometimes even Eeyore got laid.

[Tned]

You do remember that Denver won a SB like this last year right? Not saying we will repeat but this isnt anything new here. And, three or

so years ago, when the Broncos destroyed the NFL scoring record and set all kinds of offensive records, they were destroyed in the SB.

[Joel]

And, three or

Because our PoS blockers COULDN'T: Whose point are you trying to make? I guarantee a sophomore 7th round QB won't do more with THAT kind of "protection" and run support than a guy who'd just shattered every passing record in the books.

[Hawgdriver]

Hey wayninja, you crushed it today. Good job dude.

True. We should have a goal of about 21 points per game. If we can just do that, we should win most games.

You mean they were good enough to get us to the SB but all of sudden forgot how to block? :lol:

[tomjonesrocks]

You do remember that Denver won a SB like this last year right? Not saying we will repeat but this isnt anything new here.

Fair enough. I just honestly found this game infuriating to watch and was as unimpressed as I could possibly have been by everything not playing defense.

At some point we have to see -something- from the offense. Jesus.

[VonDoom]

That game won't win any beauty contests, but it's a win, so I'm all good for the night.

We have flaws, no doubt. But so does basically every other team besides the Patriots. I was so pissed that the Raiders won but they are the same as us - flawed and 6-2. Should be epic next Sunday night. Get better, Wade!

[Northman]

Fair enough. I just honestly found this game infuriating to watch and was as unimpressed as I could possibly have been by everything not playing defense.

Its frustrating for sure but im still going to enjoy the win when it comes. Im more disappointed in the turnovers we rather than the 3 and outs. But im happy that the defense came through when we needed them too.

It hurt when it happened but I kind of understand it. He was reaching for the goal line and the guy just happened to knock it back into the field of play. Sucks, but not a usual play. He should have just gone out of bounds, but he was probably thinking that we wouldn't have scored on third down from the one so he tried to make something happen.

[VonDoom]

These are gold, but Wolfe??? Love it!!

He's so great.

[NightTerror218]

Offense looked so bad. Siemian looked the worst, i hope off day. Stared down WR, over threw short routes under threw others. Forced it and hurried when he had time.

What killed me was forcing it to double coverage to DT or Sanders when another player was open. Many people around me were pissed at him for playing so hot or cold and having a cold night.

[BORDERLINE]

True. We should have a goal of about 21 points per game. If we can just do that, we should win most games.

I, for one, am enjoying Tebow Time 2.0 sans Tebow.

Ha,

I've said that before. When we score 20+ our chances of winning jump dramatically. If I had some mathematical knowledge and spare time I would come up with a percentage. So for now my gut tells me if we score 20 first we win. LoL

[Nomad]

Raiders gonna get a BRONCOS ass kicking next Sunday night.

How am I clearly wrong? Bibbs has been nothing but awful when he's been on the field.

He's gone, he's not coming back. Good riddance to an average guy. Just because he led a mediocre run game doesn't mean he was a great back. If Elway found him valuable, he'd still be here. ..It's not exactly like we're loaded with talent at the position. Hee should have been a shoe in, yet he's not. Wonder why our gm would give up on a 2nd round pick.

Fine then, forget about Hillman. Thompson is better than Bibbs too. He actually produced with the one carry he got today. He should be our #2 guy until CJ gets back.

No. Imma go start a "How many tackles did Bibbs break this year?" thread.

I think its a bit pre-mature to declare that someone who's had only 1 touch so far this season is defiantly better than someone who's had only 7.

Cut Bibbs too, neither RB are worth the brain damage of arguing.

Booker questionable with shoulder injury.

Broncos appear to be running a goatbutthole offense so far.

Goat butt hole offense; was that invented by Brian Billick in Baltimore?

Hillman didn't even have a job until Minnesota signed him because of injury, and even then he can't get on the field behind McKinnon and Asiata. Hillman and Bibbs both suck.

[Simple Jaded]

True. We should have a goal of about 21 points per game. If we can just do that, we should win most games.

I, for one, am enjoying Tebow Time 2.0 sans Tebow.

When did Tebow Time average 21 points a game?

[FanInAZ]

I don't. Keep declaring, guys. :lol:

The only thing I'll declare at this point is that Booker may be the best RB that Elway has brought in.

It’s a good thing that I copy & pasted this post to & from Word, enabling me to see that I misspelled his name as “Bookie.” Although, that would be a bad nickname for a RB :D

[wayninja]

About as often as this team?

[wayninja]

The degree of suckage is debatable.

LoL....how Tebow comes up so often!!

[wayninja]

LoL....how Tebow comes up so often!!

I stand by it, it feels organic. Comparing this offense to the offense under Tebow isn't unfair.

[FanInAZ]

And telling the truth about him when his name does come up will cause the Tebois to call you a Tebow hater.

[FanInAZ]

Yes it is because it doesn't play like garbage for 3½ quarters, waiting for the opposing D to go into prevent, before doing something with cheering for.

[Joel]

You mean they were good enough to get us to the SB but all of sudden forgot how to block? :lol:
No, I mean PFMs quick reads and release, plus DT, Decker, Welker and Orange Julius (an awful TE, but a fine WR) plus Morenos army crawl and a badly underrated D was good enough to get us to the SB DESPITE an AWFUL offensive lines worst efforts.

[MOtorboat]

You do have a point. Both offenses were/are awful and sub par.

[Joel]

You dislike him because it strengthens your argument that Hillman should still be here.
That doesn't really follow; it's another one of those false Boolean dichotomies. Just because Bibbs sucks doesn't make Hillman suck any less: It's quite possible and plausible they BOTH suck. Does Sambrailos uselessness make Schofield any better?


Fine then, forget about Hillman. Thompson is better than Bibbs too. He actually produced with the one carry he got today. He should be our #2 guy until CJ gets back.


I agree with you there, but I've always loved Thompson! :D
There we go; I'm totally on board with that.

This isn't the first season Thompson OR Bibbs had touches: Thompson's consistently outproduced Bibbs the whole time. I really struggle to think of a single play Bibbs has made to generate all the hype he enjoys from so many fans.

[wayninja]

Yet having a winning record.

Yep, that pretty much covers the point.

[MOtorboat]

The winning record certainly doesn't have anything to do with the offense.

[wayninja]

Agreed. I never said otherwise. The defense was routinely credited with wins during Tebow time. So, again... apt.

You could make the argument that delta between how good the defense is and how bad the offense is is greater now than then.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

What's funny is, the offense is clearly better than it was last year. The defense just isn't as dominant, especially against the run. We're not as good up the middle.

[FanInAZ]

When was this? The thing that's always annoyed my about the Tebois is that Tebow would get 100% credit for those win.

I agree. Totally an accident and nobody's fault.

Until they hit a hard hitting team and got completely shut down, and couldn't do the same on defense. It was the result of that game that led Elway to decide the team needed to be remade. Greater focus on defense and toughness.


You do have a point. Both offenses were/are awful and sub par.

It's a very superficial comparison.

Tebow was unable to execute a pro offense and was wildly inaccurate at every distance (Schlereth was right when he said he can't throw against air, which I saw when I was on the field for warmups against KC and he badly missed more than half of his warm up throws). As a result, the Broncos had to revert to an offense largely based on plays and gameplans like Tebow ran in college.

The '16 offense is struggling, mostly on the line, which can't run block or pass block, but shows brief moments of what it could be. Siemian has extremely good mechanics, a blazingly fast release (which is why the Broncos aren't leading the league in sacks given up) and by and large for a first year starter, is staying away from mistakes. Before CJ's injury, the Broncos had two very good running backs, to go with two very good wide receivers.

It's actually fairly silly to make the comparison to Tebow's offense.

Now, what we are seeing is a hallmark of Kubiak's offenses, which is if his team can't run the ball, then they struggle. His gameplans are so predicated on running the ball to setup play action, that if his team fails to run the ball, then he his little in his playbook to adjust and succeed just passing the ball. Now, that might be due to the fact that he quite often has undersized offensive linemen that get pushed around then they go into straight drop back passing mode.

I wouldn't say that at all.

It's just because he had a good career at CSU. The hometown fans like him for that.

Statistically the statement is accurate.

[MOtorboat]

Through 7 games:
This year 167 points, 2287 yards
Last year 168 points, 2455 yards

The offense is about the same. Neither is clearly better than the other.

What was it? Something like four or five of the first 8 games last year were won on last minute turnovers/scores by the defense?

Did people really think that having Manning and Osweiler leave would turn the 31st worst passing game in the league become a top five offense overnight?

The Broncos rushing game is 20th in the league and passing game 20th. Siemian is sitting just in front of Rodgers, Eli, Palmer, Newton and other VERY highly paid non-first year starters, among qualified passers.

It might be time to go back to the DVR or game pass and see how much Lynch suffered in his start behind this line.

Yes, the offense is struggling. But, the awful, horrible and such talk is simply out of touch. Frustrating I get, but it's basically an average offense right now, operating behind a very, very bad offensive line.

However, it's also an offense clearly running a conservative gameplan, focused on not making mistakes and handing the other team easy scores on short fields.

It's funny, four weeks ago, the criticism was that the Broncos should be throwing deep, even if receivers were double or triple covered, because you have to throw it up and let receivers make plays. Now, it's criticism when the ball was thrown up into double coverage, and resulted in big completions. So, I think the key here is that we are just disgruntled fans that want to complain.

Glad I talked this out. They say if you talk about something you will feel better.
