Again, if that kombucha-swigging douche in Miami can have his team prepared to play with a supposedly lesser QB and lesser WR talent, why is Hackett struggling early in the season like this?

I thought the WRs in Denver were amazing, and Russ was going to be the first QB to have 4 1000 yard receivers on the same team.

[Quesadilla Joe]

We should've put up 30+ points against Seattle, but again: 2 fumbles on the one, a dropped TD pass, a TD was taken away because of a false start penalty on a WR away from the play, and another TD was taken away because our TE couldn't get two feet in bounds. We moved the ball at will.

Against the Texans three of our top four WR's were out. Mike McDaniel isn't having to win games without Tyreek Hill or Jaylen Waddle.

Mike McDaniels also doesn't have "the best RB duo in the NFL".

Not even close. Zero running game in Miami.

You mean to tell me Sutton, Albert O, Javonte, and Gordon aren't enough with Russ at QB?

[RunKC]

Broncos fans won’t admit it but the Russ trade/signing has been a disaster so far. He’s looked like a below average QB.

The first half he was around 6/23 and a litany of mistakes. He also isn’t mobile anymore which is the most shocking part. He used to be crazy elusive and very hard to catch but now he seems slow.

The way this is going it’s gonna set back the Broncos at least 3 years

Yeah, they can win that way. It's just tough to adjust on the fly when Jeudy goes down early in the first quarter and you have to replace him with the 5th and 6th options on your WR depth chart, instead of a guy like Tim Patrick or KJ Hamler.

The funny thing here is you thinking your ‘top WR’s’ (whoever they are) are even remotely equivalent to Reek and Waddle. All your receivers are JAGs and/or garbage. They don’t move the needle . . . . . . at all.

Even your delusion is delusional.

Yea, it's really hard to just keep giving your RB that's averaging over 5 YPC the ball.

My cousin is a Bronco fan and wanted Wilson and I told him dude was washed that was stupid.

He went to the game in Denver last Sunday from Arkansas. All he had to say was “Well it was a win”.

Don't feel bad, Donkey fans. You weren't the first team to get fleeced by Seattle in a trade, and you won't be the last.

It even happens to good franchises every now and then.

We didn't get fleeced. We won the ****ing SB.

But see, when we had to go to our #5 WR, he catches a 40 yd. TD pass.

When your roster is completely full of JAG receivers what’s the point of numbering them on the depth chart? After Sutton you have an entire receiving room full of 5th and 6th options. They might not be 5th or 6th options for high caliber offenses, but they fit into your roster still.

Yeah, it's great when you can bring in a fresh body, place them in a role you've seen them succeed in in practice and then sub him out when your better player gets their wind back.

That's not what happened in Denver. Our backups were forced to play a ton of snaps in roles they weren't meant for. We had to replace a route god like Jeudy with:

Tyree Cleveland, who made the team strictly because of ST's and is only used as a blocker on offense.

Montrell Washington, who is a returner/gadget guy at the moment. He's still learning how to play WR.

Kendall Hinton, who is an actual receiver who can fill in for a starter in a pinch.

[O.city]

Route god.

What is wrong with you?
