Thread: Broncos ranked worst offense

Don’t exclude the Giants and the Bills; two teams we outplayed if not for the turnovers

Saw a stat that our defense is ranked 1 or 2 in ever category but 2. We are 3rd in rushing and 24th in points allowed. Interesting the TO arw the key to that 24th ranking and short fields.

Yep, I’m also curious as to where the defense is in creating turnovers. They don’t seem to be doing it as much this year, which might have something to do with getting behind early in so many games

We are 28th in takeaways and 31 in giveaways

The D isn't done. Give the Defense a fair game instead of constantly being on the Field amd put in constant bad situations because the offense is inept, its been so bad. Its a shame they made these adjustments at the very end bevause so many winnable games were blown in a mediocre AFCW.

Musgrave > McCoy

Plus, he's a Colorado boy.

Musgrave finally may have eclipsed this year and has a shot if returning i would th ink.

Yes, Musgrave may be coaching himself into the job.

28th in takeaways is horrid with the defense we have.

I didn't mean it that way. Meant it more along the lines of we have no say in the matter but would like to see Musgrave remain OC for a while.

I think we can safely throw out all the defensive stats this year. The defense you saw last night shutting out the Colts was the real Broncos defense. But, it's hard to put forth maximum effort game in and game out when you're getting blown out in the first quarter and are down 7-0 before the defense even takes the field. You could see the air leak out of the defense in these situations.

Last night they perked up the minute the offense started making plays. Suddenly there was enthusiasm and they were making stops and generating turnovers.

Just another sign of the lost season. IF the offense had been even mediocre with a mediocre QB like Brock Osweiler was last night, then they'd be cruising to the playoffs right now.

Because this AFC West isn't stocked with powerhouse teams. The Chargers are the best of them, which says a lot since they are one and done in the playoffs when they meet up with a REAL football team like the Patriots or the Steelers. Those two teams are elite, and the rest are chumps. Just fodder to fill out the playoff bracket before the inevitable Steelers Patriots showdown in the AFC Championship.

Well, he's a long way from being a GOOD Coach, forget "GOAT". But, he's keeping his job for one more year now that they won 2 in a row. Hopefully like the young players on this roster, he will learn from his mistakes and do better next year.

Because another losing season and VJs' job really will be in jeopardy.

i'd say he already has. . . he was the other guy vance interviewed for the position previously, he's already on hand, and he's an accomplished pro. . . not like they're going to do any better, and he knows our personnel. . . besides, replacing him in the off-season just creates more upheaval for a unit that's struggling badly enough to establish an identity. . . IMO, it's pretty much a no-brainer at this point that he'll be back as the OC next year. . .
