Speaking of throwing flags, anyone see the Clay Matthews Call of Duty Black Ops 4 commercial? I was laughing my head off at that.

Elway said the Broncos have "gotten soft there" with the run defense.

Nicki Jhabvala‏Verified account @NickiJhabvala 33m33 minutes ago
Elway on the Broncos' porous run defense: "That is a big, big concern right now and we have to figure out how to get that solved."

Nicki Jhabvala‏Verified account @NickiJhabvala 33m33 minutes ago
Elway: "After going through what we went through last year, no question it's a bad feeling. You can't hide from it. ... We continue to repeat the same mistakes that beat us week in and week out. ... It's a bad feeling."

Elway said they'll look to see who is available and what is needed with Ron Leary going down (Achilles). "We will look to see what's out there that can come in and possibly help us."

.@Johnelway, on @orangeblue760: "Once you get in the season, there's not a lot of fixes to it.” Adds that there is no "magic switch," just that coaches have to coach better & players have to play better & “make an effort to stay positive."

#Broncos GM John Elway on 760 am "it's a combination of everything, and bottomline, it starts with me. We have to continue to work and stay positive. We have to play Thursday like we are fighting for our lives." #Denver7

John Elway: "It's not one thing. It's a combination of a lot of different things that we have to get figured out in a hurry."

HC Vance Joseph on @orangeblue760: "Defensively we were on our heels all day because of the run game ... We had no solutions to slowing the run game down which made our defense really passive on first and second downs."

Andrew Mason‏Verified account @MaseDenver 16m16 minutes ago
Joseph talking run D on @orangeblue760: "It's really in our nickel defense, and that's where we've been exposed the most. It's fits, it's tackling on the edge. That's what it comes down to … Our base running defense has been OK, but our nickel running defense has been horrible."

Vance Joseph said Ron Leary did in fact tear his right Achilles and he's done for the year. He will be placed on injured reserve. Huge loss for the Broncos.

More VJ: "Our margin for error is small. We can't make the normal football mistakes. On Sunday, our offense would have had 10 more points."

#Broncos Joseph on if he's fighting for his job. "Absolutely. That's every coach in his league. If we were 5-1 I would feel that way. That doesn't motivate me. I am motivated to win football games." #Denver7

there's only so much elway can say right now. . . i hope he understands that the coaches and the quarterback are the main problems with his team, and that it's not going to get any better until he fixes those issues. . . i think he probably gets it. . . here's hoping they're currently cooking up some decent solutions. . . the rest of this year is what it is-- just have a strong plan in place to attack the off-season. . . there's plenty of talent on this roster for a quick turnaround if we can get the most important positions right. . .

It should motivate you....I haven't seen much "motivation to win football games" just a like of empty rhetoric every week.

Grab the guy by the shoulder, turn him around and throw it in his face.

The sad thing is the last two weeks, this is really about the defense. Giving up an average of 300 yards on the ground and we obsess about the QB being the problem.

Then again, you are right. Since, the teams are not allowed to play defense.

I would say the main problem is the coaching staff. Coaching in the NFL makes such a difference. It still was not an illusion. Keenum had a dynamic season last season. Of course, under a different coach. Lets look at Goff, and Jeff Fisher. Goff was being viewed as a confirmed bust, and then he gets a real coach.

This team has talent. I have no doubt about that. The WR corp is solid, the RBs are solid.

I would say the offense and defense have been equally bad.

For what it’s worth talked to several Rams people after game last night. They thought Broncos had best plan they faced all year. True plan didn’t call for Gurley to get 208. But 23 points suggest overall plan was sound. Results need to follow. #9sports
