Knowmo, any comment on the $293 million dollar man posting a 54 rating? Or all the other starters in the 40s/50s?

Where will they rate vs elite teams? 30s?

Your eyes must not work so well.....look at the disclaimer at the bottom of the chart

Then again, you never seem to apply the eye test to anything, so I'm thinking you're blind

Denver MIGHT split with LV, they've got no chance against LA or KC

They're going to go 1-5 in the AFC West lol

The Raiders were on the wrong end of a 3-0 turnover ratio and still had a chance to drive for the win in LA. They're pretty good too.

Poor Denver...

Maybe they'll get lucky and draft a legit QB for the first time ever about 15 years from now when Herbert and Mahomes' careers are winding down.

Denver only punted once, and missed out on 5 potential touchdowns because of:

1. A drop by Saubert
2. Tomlinson being unable to get two feet down
3. A Sutton false start on a gimme Andrew Beck TD on a shovel pass
4. A Melvin Gordon fumble on the 1 yard line
5. A Javonte Williams fumble on the 1 yard line

Denver is now 3rd in the NFL in yards per play - thanks, in part, to Andy Reid not trusting his terrible tackles against Mack and Bosa last night.

It’s gonna be great watching Russ get fisted by the Chargers pass rush

You got beat by a team that’s probably going to go 5-12.. Last I saw the league doesn’t recognize potential touchdowns…

Sounds like a whole lotta bad football to me. Typical of bad football teams.

That's a pattern, not bad luck.

It's hilarious that you somehow think it's going to be better/easier when you're not playing a team that people think could end with the #1 overall pick.

I think you’re misunderstanding that disclaimer.

He’s going to get destroyed. I’m thinking something along the lines of the 9 sack Flacco game.

Those are going to be 30-6 type games.

You also let Geno Smith and one of the worst teams in football beat you.

Newsflash: WINS are more important than stats

A video of Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett mic'd up against the Broncos shows him telling teammates that Russell Wilson was using the same hand signals he had used in Seattle. https://t.co/tX2mTU2fxp

Seattle had worse luck in terms of turnovers than Denver.

One of those goal line fumbles was irrelevant. It would have been a turnover on downs. The fact that the ball popped loose didn't matter.

Geno slipped on 4th and inches, causing him to fail to pick up a first. Talk about unlucky. They would have had a great shot to score 7 there. Worst case scenario, 3.

So each team essentially had a turnover on downs and a fumble lost. But Seattle also dropped a few gift-wrapped picks. And their fumble set up the Denver offense with great field position.

The Saubert play was far from routine or easy, especially for a scrub 4th string TE. He had to lay out for it and the DB had his hands in there.

Players miss TDs by being on the line all the time.

And the one TD that Denver scored was one of the luckiest plays you'll see, and would be either a break-up or INT 95% of the time.
