Thread: Broncos Gameday Thread: Broncos vs Colts 08/11/24

It still feels too early for the first preseason game.
How excited are you for the Broncos season?
Go Broncos!

It's finally here! How well will we handle this new KO? Sounds like we are setup to really roll with it!

Looking forward to see this draft class as a whole.

There is some great competition at a variety of spots: Center, #2 corner, #2 WR, #2 RB, TE, both inside and outside LBer, safety. Can't wait to see the cream rise to the top.

It’s all about the QB position. Of course I want to see Nix do well, but until someone steps up and establishes themself as a true starter who can run the offense, all other positions are pretty much secondary. Sure, I’m interested in other positions - like can the new front 7 on D improve, but QB is what matters.

I’m just here for the good time

Sloppy penalties early.

Tim Patrick always does that move after a first down, and it is fairly common in the NFL. It's unfortunate the Colts player was in his face that it drew the taunting penalty.

If I’m a DC, I’m telling all my guys to get in front of offensive players after every big play so when they showboat, they get the call. The NFL’s issue with hurt feelings and “taunting” in a violent sport has become just as cumbersome as the old “excessive celebration” calls. If they’re not hurting each other physically or adversely affecting the game, just let it go. It’s stupid to regulate feelings.

Well, Perine was going to be traded or cut anyways because of money...

Perine…

So the first look at Bo had some good and bad. He threw past the sticks on 3rd and long for once which is awesome, and it looked like a good ball to Reynolds in the end zone, I don’t know if it just went through his hands or what. His almost pick was a bad throw, though.

That was pretty

Very nice drive for the #2 unit out there. Nothing flashy, just methodical football.

Solid 2 minute drive there. Rookies not on the same page probably led to the FG instead of 6 but Bo was nails on that one. Very savvy to throw up that deep pass to Vele to draw the PI.

So, Nix has led 4 drives - 2 TD and 2 FG including an 80 yard 2 minute drive to take the lead before half. Not a bad showing. For his first outing. I’m encouraged.
