I don't expect you guys to be impressed... I was marginally happy with it. The defense broke too often on big plays, similar to last year. Offensively though, love what the rookie RBs did - Sutton played a decent role and it was good to see Jake Butt playing. Janovich is back, so that definitely helps things out.
Offensively, yeah they struggled and the INTs were bad (at least 2 of them, one was an excellent play by the DB). I think they have a lot to work on and the upside looks good.
It's about how I figured they would play, but they have to address that coverage issue and what happened to let the SEA TE do the damage. One week at a time.
KC is in the driver's seat and they should be... Broncos are going to lose games like that on Sunday more often than not. Carrol should have challenged the fumble play, but he didn't get it done in time - refs had nothing to do with that one. And, I admitted when it happened that I didn't think DT got his feet in bounds on the TD. Incredibly borderline, the refs made the call and the review didn't reverse it - on the broadcasts, they weren't 100% sure and when that happens - you maintain the call on the field.
Both teams were pretty sloppy. Loved what the Broncos did with pressure on SEA, that was nice, but overall they gave up too many big plays.
Offensively, they moved the ball well and that's a positive - will be interesting to see how they continue to work Freeman and Lindsay.
