In some ways...the media created unrealistic expectations for Donks fans.
I have yet to see any statistics that indicated that Denver was only a functional QB away from being a serious contender. You have professional media manipulators like Cowherd saying the Doinks were going to win the AFC...not just the AFCW.
Imagine the shock when reality doesnt match the fantasy...all off-season they were fed a constant stream of false hope. Like giving the fat kid a participation trophy...
They completely ignored any red flags and glorified what they could... never mentioning they played a last place schedule...which skews numbers.
They looked pretty much how I expected them to look...should be just a touch better than the bottom feeders. They are the 2021 Seahawks just rebranded as a horse...only in a division with 2 of the best 4 QBs in the NFL.
Hackett is going to be hung out to dry...he is their FO scapegoat. All anger/disappointment will be focused on him. Nobody is going to mention Jeudy dropping a wide open pass at a critical point...or they fact they were even in a 3rd and 14 with the game on the line...or the fact that Wilson only targeted their "all world WRs" two times the entire first half....or that Geno was like 16 for 17 at one point.
It's just Hackett sucks but the team...the team is special. Same narative with Fangio....I'm sure he got a chuckle out of last night.
The real question is how long the "new car smell' lasts with Wilson...it took all of one game for the fans to turn on Hackett. Once they realize Mr. Unlimited isn't their savior and his price tag continuously guts their team's resources...while sleeping in a $25 million house.
I'm looking into my crystal ball...and seeing Donk fans slowly transitioning into the sea of boos that Wilson got from his previous fans.
