Thread: Broncos Gameday Thread: Broncos vs Cowboys 09/17/17

I just got a chance to watch the game (had to work and my game pass just let me watch it) and I will say... wow. We beat the brakes off those bitches. Zeke Elliot is probably thinking he should've just taken the suspension. The defense was incredible vs the "best O line in football". I was extremely impressed. Most of you know I'm not the biggest TS fan, but the guy is playing great football right now. I hope he can stay healthy because he has really established himself as "the guy".

This game was all about attitude and toughness and we made the Cowgirls look soft. What a great win!

What's particularly bad about that play is that both DT and Sanders were open.

Lol, yeah y'all were saying all this last season while the Broncos were literally doing all these things.

The Broncos were second to last in percent of plays out of shotgun. As usual, I have no clue what you are saying or basing your statements on.

Some guy on Facebook was going off on Siemian and the fumble. He held it too long. Watson let his guy in immediately. Effing Watson is shit. Hot pile of shit.

When i called him on that he said he should have thrown it away.
From inside the pocket?
Yes.
Uh, ya can't do that, you know that right?
He should have.
Umm ok, twit.

Just pride, that's all it is. I find that kind of pride comical, where one won't simply admit that one is wrong.

But, of course, I've been guilty . . .

Hard to watch. Hope Fowler is doing ok tonight.

At least any run game that doesn't have a legit QB threat.

I kid.

Watson sucks, it was a mistake in the front office identifying him and making him the right tackle. McCoy has to find a way to give Siemian more time. Siemian has to hold on to the ball, though. Has to.

I didn't say they led the league in Shitgun, I said they ran all the things y'all say they didn't run. Literally everything, it didn't work.

I thought it was really interesting on the news Talib said that they were all studying at night and then really working on their play during practice. I have never heard of the team taking it upon themselves to study on their own time, except for Peyton, thank you for setting that up BTW. I hope the national sportscasters keeps underestimating this team. They are playing great with that chip on their shoulder.

Overall it's hard not to say Siemian hasn't exceeded expectations but when he has screwed up it seems to be pretty catastrophic and invariably resulting in points for the other team. I can understand the caution at that moment in the game.

Hard to say who was at fault there, DT was doing a button hook but Siemian thought he was going long. Just a miscommunication it looks like.

I can get on board with this, at least maybe throw a bomb so that if its intercepted it acts nothing more than a punt at that point. But running to just pick up a yard or two does nothing really.

While I don't necessarily disagree with this theory, the biggest difference between throwing a deep pick and running then punting is that you run an extra 40 seconds off the clock or force them to use a timeout, which isn't insignificant when you're up multiple scores late.

It was all about the clock, not the yards.
