I just read that Russel called in Audible on the infamous super Bowl play so he would get the MVP instead of Marshawn

F that guy forever, I hope he continues to go down in flames!

[Sassy Squatch]

What?!? Where'd you read that?

Also, if Russell does end up sitting for a bit and Rypien plays even remotely competently, it's over. Fanbase is already done with him and it sure seems like the players are just about there as well.

Then again, they may not wanna do that. If they sit Russ and Rypien comes in and the offense looks better, they’re gonna be under a lot of pressure from the fanbase to play Rypien.

Not only that, but they will have to try and justify to the fanbase why they traded such a haul and signed a guy to a $240 million dollar extension that’s not any better than the backup they have sitting on the bench.

Talk about a mess that would become.

Which is why I think he plays hurt. He's going to have to be in a wheelchair before they risk the potential exposure.

Basically, the blame can be spread around. The coaching seems to get about 25% or so of the blame, though the plays themselves aren't as bad as what they seem. The receivers haven't helped themselves either, about 10-15%? Wilson's decision-making which affects timing and overall success, about 30% or so. Injuries and overall lack of talent at the skill positions the rest.

This is a great read on the woes in DEN though, great watch.

Sounds EXACTLY what TEX and I said BEFORE the season

If you block out QuesadildoJoe, I'm noticing that most Donk fans in here and on Orange Huddle (and boy is it fun as a Chiefs fan to go browsing over there right now ) are actually being fairly realistic in terms of their total whiff on Paton, Hackett, and Mr. Unlimited Waistline.

Many Donk fans actually seem not to be as dumb irl as Quesadildo makes them look.

Just an observation. Carry on.

It doesn't matter, they cant move on from him until after the 2025 season

Yep, buddy of mine is one of the biggest donkey homers around (we're talking knowmo level). Reality is finally setting in for him too. He's not even trying to make excuses anymore.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Bronco fan buddy..."you were right. Bye gawd you were right. Unbelievable."

[Sassy Squatch]

My Bronco pal ****ing hated the trade from the start, but he already had what I thought was a bit of a strange disdain for Wilson. Well, turns out he knew what the **** was up.

What a COLOSSAL flaming ****up that dipshit is. Literally all he had to do was not be a colossal flaming ****up dipshit and he would've been in the driver's seat to take over for his dad as the owner of the Donks.

This is where the wheels started falling off for him, at least publicly.

A son of Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen has been found guilty of harassment after he was accused of pushing his girlfriend during an argument last summer.

John Bowlen, 30, was convicted Thursday and sentenced to 24 months of probation with drug and alcohol evaluations. He was also ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation.

Bowlen had pleaded not guilty to the harassment charge that stemmed from the 2015 incident in which he pushed his girlfriend against a bathroom wall.

Spoiler!

He was also charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor for allegedly hanging up the phone when the woman tried to call 911,according to the Denver Post.

The jury found Bowlen guilty of a Class 3 misdemeanor charge of harassment, according to a news release from the Arapahoe County District Attorney's office.

Last summer, Bowlen's girlfriend of ten months told investigators that he was under the influence of 'whippets', nitrous oxide, and alcohol, according to the Post.

Bowlen, who was a marketing assistant for the Broncos, was immediately put on indefinite leave.

His girlfriend called the police because of his 'erratic behavior', and could be heard screaming in her initial call before it was hung up from inside of his Glendale apartment.

The recording obtained by TMZ revealed that the dispatcher called back and Bowlen answered.

After identifying himself as the owner of the Broncos, Bowlen told the dispatcher his girlfriend had called 911 because she was trying to 'ruin his life'.

The suspended team executive said: 'I swear on my dad's life. She's crazy right now.

'She's leaving right now. There's nothing to be worried about.' He then revealed the couple supposedly broke up four hours before the 911 call as placed.

Bowlen added: 'She's had seven beers. She weighs 95 pounds and she is being picked up by another male who she works out with.

'She is fine and she is trying to cause a problem. As the blood of the city, I'm telling you nothing is wrong.'

In order to help out, Bowlen said he had the concierge coming from downstairs.

He continued: 'I'm sober. I'm a man of the city. A friend of the mayor.

'And everybody knows exactly who I am. I'm going through a lot.

'She is leaving right now, nothing is wrong. I love you guys. Thank you. Bye bye.'

His father is suffering from Alzheimer's and relinquished control of the team in 2014.

In addition to two years of probation, Bowlen was sentenced 24 hours of community service.

If he violates the terms of his probation, the judge said jail will be imposed, according to TMZ. Bowlen's attorney has said his client will appeal the ruling.

In August 2005, he was also arrested by Boulder police on suspicion of driving under the influence.

He pleaded guilty to driving while his ability was impaired.

Knowmo?

[BlackOp]

Wait...Wilson only had 15 yards passing in the second half + OT...on a Nationally televised game?

I didn't watch it...but that is an amazing stat. It has to be close to a NFL record...how does that even happen?

I'm glad the entire country gets to witness this epic collapse play out nearly every week...thanks NFL. You earned this exposure Donko fans..savor the moment.

So much bad JuJu going down...Geno Smith tearing it up is just another comedic insult to injury.

Maybe Seattle will trade him to you for a 2024 1st rounder? They have to be feeling a little guilty for ruining your franchise for another half decade.

[Hammock Parties]

After the MRI, Russell Wilson is considered day-to-day, source said. It’s a real injury, and he’s in real pain. But he is pushing to play. The #Broncos will continue to evaluate his progress on a short week. https://t.co/Yd0mUwjLNb
