Except that Tyler Badie gets in for one play in the 2nd quarter against the Steelers, has the best run that the team has had in two games (16 yards, and looked like he actually wanted to be there), and then doesn't get another snap.
You can obviously argue that they're not a good team. But they're not as bad as they've looked through the first two weeks. Four months from now, they're not going to have averaged 265 total yards a game on offense. Their best RB is not going to finish the season with 300 yards rushing (the current pace). Whether he's a starting-caliber NFL QB or not, Bo Nix isn't going to finish the season with 3000 yards, 0 TDs, and 34 INTs (his current pace).
It's hard, at this point, to even know what to be angry about - other than "all of it." (Actually, the special teams has looked great - so there's that.) And I'd still rather watch this - whatever this is - than Russell Wilson incapable of throwing anything between the hashmarks, and bailing on every pocket that isn't perfectly formed. But it's not good.

Direct your anger at those responsible. The Denver GM sucks balls. It's a total mystery as to why he hasn't been fired already.
The head coach has been bad, but worse than being bad, he has worked to raise expectations to a totally unrealistic level. He got the Bronco faithful pumped with the fantasy of winning lots of games while the truth was always much darker. This season and the abysmal performances would have been much easier to accept if only you had had realistic expectations.
