Thread: Broncos Gameday Thread: Broncos vs Bears 09/15/19

You know what it was? It was the Bears superbowl, and we simply didn't have anything to play for.

I think we can still win this!

Deep thoughts, by MO.

I'm going to count this as "delusion." Not entirely what I meant, but feels like it still fits.

On the bright side, at least it wasn't Cutler who beat the Broncos.

Who am I kidding?

Blow it the **** up!

His feet hit the ground after the catch with 1 second and he had to fall down and give himself up all while calling timeout in 1 second? It was horseshit.

My point was that Denver was bad for 3.5 quarters. They didn’t play well enough to win today.

If that’s the case, neither did Chicago. Both teams were sluggish and unimaginative. Had it not been for 5 holding calls by our Oline, we might have scored more points. Several drives we were moving on their vaulted defense at will until we held our way out of it. It was a low scoring affair. The bottom line is, the Bears needed help from the refs to win. The holding on CHJ in the red zone that gave the Bears a 1st and goal was bullshit. The roughing calls were bullshit. And giving the Bears an extra second was bullshit. It was a poorly officiated game.

Bullshit or not, even if we win that game it's not like the win gives me the warm and fuzzies about the team. I'd still chalk it up to a terrible performance with a fluky outcome.

I saw some stuff that was nice. Freeman ran with authority. Lindsay was shifty in space. Sanders is 100% - that TD catch was beautiful! Flacco ain’t great, but he doesn’t panic under pressure and found some open guys while under pressure (which he was often). Simmons balled out today, CHJ had a good game, and Jackson made some good plays. Wolfe played well against the run. That’s about all I got.

Another week, I still hate Joe flacco.

Right, we win that game we go from 3 wins to 4 for the year... Yay!

The sanders catch, I'll give you that. Beyond that I felt like Lindsay was a bit disappointing... but I do have high expectations for him. Flacco is... fine... but I doubt I ever become a fan. Simmons was good, sure.

You are right, there were some bright spots, but as a whole, the team sucked. Not sure how else to sugar coat it.

Are there any good OTs in this upcoming draft class? While everyone else is battling over Fromm, Herbert, and Tua we should swoop in and draft a left tackle.

Yea, that has been a drastic change this year between the both of them. Freeman needs to be the primary back no matter what Lindsey did last year.

Lindsay is only disappointing because every time he busts a big play it gets called back on a hold by Bolles or Leary...
