Thread: What is the plan for improving Fangio's gameday management?

We did the game was over and the refs gave them a extra second to kick a 53 yard field goal. Maybe our defense can help Lindsay run for more the 2.8 per carry, or have Flacco throw for more then 5 yds over 30 attempts. Yep that game was the defense and Fangio all the way.....FML

Maybe when our offense finally helps compliment our defense and we aren't on our 5th string defensive players due to injuries we will......

We finished in 13 IN DVOA the last 2 years Fangio as a HC and his defense isn't the problem in Denver

Yeah, the Raiders game last year, the defense did great, they let the raiders score and get the 2 point conversion after fangio called the timeout.
That wasn't good

Have Shurmur manage the clock on offense and him on D... or a new Coach in 2022.

Man bronco fans do love a revisionist history. Here is the ESPN recap of what actually happened.....This was not a game to put on Fangio he is the one that actually had us in it and made a gutsy call to take the lead......

I'm aware of the screwjob that game was, however it was not the only example of the Defense losing the game, Jacksonville the same year comes to mind (I was in WDW with my family watching that game).

But the Bears game also showed another trend, Fangio get's no respect from the Ref's/League.

But continue to think this season will be any different.

Is there anyone on the Broncos you like?

First season was extremely tough to watch, because this team was just so close to winning so many games. Second season? Honestly, unless the analytics guy was Mr. Miyagi curing injuries, this team wasn't going to win more than 8 games.

The most questionable decision-making I saw was in the 2nd Raiders game, and it was intentionally bad decision-making to get everyone home early at best, and to secure a higher draft pick at worst. Outside of the Green Bay fiasco against Tampa, this was probably the worst mismanagement in any game the entire season. But, again, as many said at the time, the game didn't matter and winning wouldn't have even been a moral victory. This was a battered team that needed an offseason more than a victory.

I would say if you took that game away, he has made major strides since his first week as head coach. The Falcons game was a bit questionable too, but honestly from the sideline even as the score got closer, I never really got the sense the momentum was ever truly in Denver's favor.

The Titans mishap was arguably more egregious - Vic is still holding on to those three timeouts. The Raiders was laughably bad, and would be doubly so if it wasn't actually advantageous to lose that game.

Moreover, in aggregate he has shown himself to be clueless as it relates to clock management. I just have zero faith that something is going to click for him that didn't click his first 35 years in the league. Whether or not it would have swayed games is kind of a moot point given the rest of the team's struggles -- but moving forward they have to get better.

So, Fangio can learn to hold Mahomie to 22 points in KC but he can’t learn to manage the game better?

Why so salty? Our HC and QB both suck. That is really quite an easy point to make. This is a playoff caliber roster except for those two guys.

Nobody can even tell if the Raiders game was intentional or boneheaded Vic being boneheaded Vic ala Titans game.

I didn't create this thread. Maybe pull your head out of your fourth point of contact and take the orange tinted glasses off.

That's quite the compliment though, assuming your johnson is a 3d point of contact
