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.

Like I said, Denver needed two blown calls to barely squeak by a terrible Seattle team at home. Yes, Carrol should have got his shit together sooner for the challenge, he said he tried to challenge, but couldn't as he was too late - or something weird like that. Challenge or not, it was a clear fumble. Gift # 1.
And you know damn well that DT did NOT get BOTH feet down. It was NOT as close as you're making it out to be. His foot was clearly on the line. And because you know it, they should have known too. Furthermore, all the talking heads were saying it was clearly out too last night after the fact. Gift # 2.
Dang - that's just so impressive!
