Just got back a few hours ago and just some quick thoughts:
The Good:
- Flacco made some good throws when he had time and was clutch on TWO fourth down conversions down the stretch. He is the least of my worries right now and I feel he actually gives us a chance to win.
- Freeman is starting to show some pop, I think he should feature more than Lindsay going forward
- Overall the defense played good despite not getting pressure, but dammit they need to create more pressure
- Loved the balls Fangio had to go for the win at the end
The Bad:
- Broncos fans sold A LOT of seats and it sucked to see so many Bears fans. After the Flacco INT people started leaving in droves and the chant of LETS GO BEARS was drowning out the crowd near the end of the 4th when they were driving to tie the game
- Good calls by the ref or bad, I wanted to see Chubb or Von come up with some pressure on the last drive by the Bears. They never should've gotten down close enough for a FG
- Speaking of "never should've..." how they hell did they call a time out with one second left when the play wasn't blown dead? Seeing it live it looked like for sure he was down after the zeroes hit.
All in all I don't have high expectations for the Broncos this year, but this was a winnable game against a good team. I just want to see them put it all together for four quarters and build on what they did good.
