The Broncos avoided DISASTER...

The Broncos avoided disaster for now, and they got a win against the Chargers. They now continue to be a winless Chargers, a 0-5 Chargers. The Broncos go to 3-2 on the season and continue their gauntlet as they prepare now for a Seattle team that just took a harsh, harsh, hard loss to the Niners. And we've got to be ready because that's going to be a crazy game. I mean, we know we can play up to our standard. when we faced a team like the Rams or the Jags, who are very good teams. But this was not our best. In fact, I would say this was borderline close. I mean, the worst performance of the season was absolutely against the Chiefs because the defense played pretty darn well against the Chargers. The Broncos won. Bo Nix, there's a lot of questions being asked about him right now. Rightfully so. I don't think you can play like this the way that he has and just chalk it up to first-game jitters. we are now over a month into the season after this is the fifth game and uh we are really trying to figure out we feel like we're regressing as an offensive identity um i said it when davis webb gave up play calling duties to sean i said it was a bad idea i don't think that that is the answer and i at least for now i'm being proven right i do not believe this team had a play calling issue i believe that and everyone wanted wants to point at someone to blame and as soon as this is the thing is like I knew it was going to open the floodgates for you know against Bo that if you you know shift play calling to Sean and things go just as badly or even worse people aren't going to blame the coaching they're going to blame Bo and thing is the tape doesn't lie Bo is missing receivers there are clean pockets that he is not trusting because it seems like he's worried to get injured again he feels like he just can't trust like his own body or something like that there there is a timidness he still has confidence don't get me wrong but there you know the the frustration has returned you know with his teammates you know waddle is starting to feel where it's like what the heck man like we can't do anything on offense and then in the fourth quarter they do their thing they come back once again and uh i think now like Bo is tied for like the most comeback wins in the first three seasons of an NFL career which is crazy uh he's relying a bit too much on his uh his defense that's without goes without saying with that being said subscribe guys join the channel as we talk through this and react to everything i'm honestly this is gonna be a bit of a different format i'm just gonna go through a bit of my twitter feed see how people were reacting to the broncos game and you guys can tell me whether this is like a fun way to do things and uh we'll go from there so the first thing that i saw on here was the fact that um bo said when talking about his performance i don't think it was the best that is definitely understating it but at the same time i i prefer that honesty over what sean did um where it's uh where well sean said he wants bo to let it rip this seems like this is a thing that uh i don't know people are really not understanding that like there are plays to be made that Bo is not making and now maybe Broncos fans are starting to see like okay this is a Bo Nix problem not just a play calling thing um the run game is still atrocious don't get me wrong um and uh let's see here um so Bo said uh give the team a lot of credit or give uh the defense most of the credit uh they don't win without those short fields defense consistently gave us those short fields um I agree with that and Sean told Bo you're the guy we wanted here let's go I want him to be sure let it rip um Bo talking about right now there's just a little subtle piece offensive execution that we're still working for at times it's there which seems a lot like only in the fourth quarter and maybe a little bit in the first quarter but that's about it um there's still some things that I can see in process um Bo said that the play calling was smooth with Sean and that's the thing is I just I don't think it's a play calling issue um the defense definitely won the game uh there's like a you know constant short field that's going to help absolutely uh we you know Quinn Meiners says that today was a big game for him as he's struggled in with the Chargers in the past felt really good to conquer that personally i said he had a lot of external stress uh which is interesting um i don't know it's it's it's just interesting like the amount of criticism that Bo and the offense gets online it feels like these guys don't listen to any of that stuff they don't see any of it it's really interesting Sean said that the offense was good enough to win i don't like that at all this Chargers team is really really bad um so just to be like oh that was that was okay that was an acceptable offensive performance is negligent at best um Andrew Mason here says Denver escapes the defense came up massive in the fourth quarter stepping up to give the offense three short fields on fourth down stop and two takeaways uh 20 of 23 Denver points came on short fields Broncos often struggled to just 224 yards um yeah i agree i mean it's like there's there's just everything seemed hard for them everything um there's just a lot of like uh a lot of things that that that the Broncos don't seem to uh they don't trust i don't know themselves this is a really confusing problem because like yes i think Bo right now is the problem that like you know when you're when you're a fan you're always looking for what is potentially the source of the troubles when there's a consistent issue week by week you're wondering is it coaching is it the players uh the execution the run game and the blocking there is not great but also the running back play is not great we are severely missing Jonah Coleman uh who we've only seen play very briefly against the Jags and now he's on a short stint with IR so was Pat Bryant uh obviously we were without Pat Surtain and Riley Moss still had a great defensive performance despite all of that um so yeah I mean the Chargers were also really banged up so again there were still no excuses to to do anything but win this game I just uh I try and yeah I don't know people people I mean a lot of Broncos people were saying like this team stinks Bo's playing poorly thank goodness like Herbert's playing even worse I agree um that's really what it felt like to me um on DNVR Broncos uh we we have here i think the number one problem with the offense is that Bo is not healthy or he doesn't look like it uh one of the things uh that they were most concerned about in the offseason was that he did no OTAs he did no minicamp no preseason you need these kind of reps that being said i feel like going into week five you should be ramped up by now you're used to the speed of the season um but now everyone's like they've well because that's the thing is like people are like okay i know we saw that bills playoff game we have seen Bo play really well against the packers when they had Micah Parsons last season uh performance against you know second half jaguars uh the performance against the rams in the fourth quarter like there are performances where it's like they just put on the superhuman cape you know like how can we capture that this this this version that lets like quote-unquote lets it rip and it just feels like like the only answer in my mind is a mental block and i feel bad for Davis Webb because he was made a scapegoat for something that wasn't his fault so uh there's that um but uh hey at the very least guys we are not Chargers fans it could be worse we have a winning record right now we're tied with the Raiders uh because they lost in pretty embarrassing fashion uh today to the Patriots um and now but yeah i mean it doesn't get easier Thursday night the throwback game against Seattle that'll be really interesting um people are almost chalking that up already as an L uh i'm not willing to go there yet but obviously offensively you have to be better than what we showed uh today just no doubt about it you are going to win very few games playing that poorly um the running game everything it was just like the offense couldn't do anything right it was a really it i most people are comparing this to like the Jets game from last year i feel pretty similarly like that that is a good equivalent where it's like man like how is this team going to compete when they're struggling with like like this bad of a team they're in a dog fight and barely surviving and the offense looks this bad like poorly how do you fix this and then obviously things just evolve over the season things get a little bit better at the very least um at least it did last year i have to believe it will this year um you know it's just a weird it's a i i it is an absolute mystery as to how the Broncos can keep doing this like winning last minute last second they obviously weren't able to do it last week against the Niners that is a really good team you could argue almost the best team in the NFL right now so um but still i'm worried about Seattle we'll you know we'll cross that bridge when we get to it but uh what do you guys think about this performance uh what do you think about Bo Nix what do you think about just all of it do you have any thoughts about what to expect going forward will changes be made will they give play calling back to Davis Webb at some point i don't think they will but uh you know Davis has to be kind of like going like see i tried like it went even worse this time around with Sean like so it's uh yeah we'll see we'll see i want to hear your guys thoughts and until next video i'll see you then
