Fangio said he expects CB Duke Dawson to be available for Thursday's game vs. Chiefs. "I think so," Fangio said.

#Broncos Fangio acknowledges offense has to do its part this game. Denver went into a shell almost purposefully vs #Titans
given how well D was playing #Denver7

I'm a little concerned about the acceptance, in almost any game, of the offense 'going into a shell." However, we ******* won, and winning feels goooooooooooooood.

I'd usually agree, but it was probably a pretty strategically sound call in that game. Only way we were losing that was if Tennessee's defense scored.

#Broncos @I_CU_boy says of Thursday: "The Chiefs are a good team with a powerful offense. The fact is this: we are good, too." Denver will look to run on a KC defense that has allowed 26 runs of 10 yards or more. My #Denver7 story on #Broncos big game: http://bit.ly/2MOoJFQ

Well, with the defense balling out the only way they were going to win is if we pushed on offense and they got short fields on O. They have a good D, and I think in this case it was a good strategy.

It just lacks the killer instinct that I think a team has to have. It is good strategy. There's just something about it that I find troublesome. I'm probably being unfair.

I hope we come out firing against KC who will most likely load the box to stop the run. First play should be play action and a deep shot. If it connects, they’ll be like WTF? Then we use balance to keep them from loading the box. We can run, but not into a 8 or 9 man box every time. If we try to do that we’ll go 3 and out and it will give them confidence.

We must break their will early and show them we are the more physical team. I’d also do hurry up or at least no huddle vs their defense and use our home field advantage for once!

Maybe. I don't know. I prefer a smart strategy, if that's what it truly was.

I'm just going to assume I'm being a *****.

We've shown almost a total inability to sustain drives and keep the chains moving. Also - Deshaun Watson and Jacobie Brisset are great at improvising and squeaking out some yards when the play breaks down - Flacco, not so much.

We are #6 in plays/drive so far this year...?

Even I thought they would win no matter what when they scored their only TD of the game.

The likelihood of a defense scoring against us is rather high with our current QB and the nature of how the offense disappears. Once teams stop our run game, were pretty much f'ed. It is so reminiscent of what we did in 2011, run as much as we can and hope for a couple pass plays with sub par QB.....

Flacco and Tebow aren't even in the same galaxy. Stop. Tebow couldn't complete 66% of his passes in his wildest dreams. Flacco is what we thought he was, about the 20ish best starter in the league, but he's an actual QB1, we haven't had that since 2015.

they both were and are playing sub par during a year where we are relying on the run and our defense, its similar to 2011 whether you like it or not...
