Broncos' Bo Nix Problem & Seahawks' Offensive Woes

We talked about it yesterday, Craig. I do not like either offense as currently constructed. I did think both defenses for Seattle and Denver are good and certainly above average in the NFL, and they were on showcase last night. But, boy, the Broncos have a Bo Nix problem here, and we can change coordinators we want all day. Something is just not right with the Denver offense. And thank goodness for the defense. I mean, how they have four wins, Craig, watching that game last night through six weeks, didn't throw for 100 yards. Nobody's rushing. Sam Donald is a complete mess without a running game. It's Denver, though, to me, might be the luckiest four-win team that we have seen because who are they scaring with that offense right now? That's just kudos to them for winning four of those games. Yeah, and you see, go back to Seattle for a minute. I mean, look at Seattle's schedule. I saw that last night, too. They've got a tough schedule coming up. They play Kansas City. They play Chicago. It's not going to be easy. So, last night, I would say, sort of emblematic of Thursday night football, what we normally expect. I think that, for me, that was one of the worst games of the season in watching that game. I was, like, basically on to baseball after about five minutes in the first quarter. i'm like what am i doing like this like this should be against what i do like i am going back to baseball and i'm not and i'm not going back the harder thing for me too is is you know having Amazon Prime and having Direct TV which is what i have i can't really flip back and forth so you're like it's not as easy like i'm like hitting a back button and so i'm like you know what bleep with this i am i'm done with this football game i'll just check i'll just check online it was brutal and you pose a good question four wins are they the luckiest four wins yeah i think so like i i mean i know everyone's making a lot of fitzpatrick's comments that he said setting the position back years, he eviscerated them yeah yeah and and Sean Payton has proven through the years to be one of the better head coaches in the NFL it's unequivocal in fact take a look at Denver before he got there with Vic Fangio and Vance Joseph and all these other guys that they had they couldn't get out of their own way they had so many losing years in a row even with those two guys who seemingly were pretty good guys and pretty good coaches too uh i i suspect that this is one of those scenarios where Denver is not as good as their record is but i do think as the season goes on their offense will get better i don't know something tells me it may not lead to more wins for them like i i don't think all of a sudden they're going to go on a run but i i sort of feel last night was rock bottom with it and i do think that their offense will get better and if i'm not mistaken their offense in the second half of last year's NFL season was excellent so what has changed from one year to the next i don't know not covering the team or being in a locker room or really following them that closely other than the games we know that the quarterbacking and the calling the play calling situation that changed that hasn't made a lick of a difference. Obviously, anybody who said that, that was foolish. And the receivers aren't really that good. I think Waddle got hurt last time in the game. I hate to laugh about that. I mean, this guy is huge money for nothing this season. Maybe the worst signing of all of them, honestly, when you think about it. So, what Denver needs to do, this is my humble opinion with the Denver Broncos. They don't have Mike Shanahan as head coach anymore. I understand that. But the Broncos with Terrell Davis and Olandis Gary and Mike Anderson and Clinton Portis and all of these running backs that they've had through the years Joe where is that guy for Denver where is the running back for them I know Dobbins was okay yesterday he scored a touchdown I think they need to go back to that Joe they I don't see a great running back on their team I don't see great receivers on their team so I don't really know how to identify if Bo Nix is really good or not and on the flip side you said it last night if Seattle can't run the ball Sam Darnold's throwing two three picks every game that's it but they decided to trade Walker. They traded Walker. So, I mean, there they are. That's it. And now you have Sam Darnold. You're relying on him again, which is a recipe for disaster. And I saw he threw the first pick and then the second pick late. I'm like, well, I mean, you traded the running back. So what do you, this is what you get. No idea what they're doing now. At least hope is on the horizon for Sam Darnold Seattle, because I think they're going to get there. What they thought were going to be there to starting running backs anyway back Charbonnet and be back uh and hopefully uh you know Price is back healthy as well and then that I think they are set up better to be a little bit more even keeled there because the defense is still championship quality but the only good saving grace for Denver and Bo Nix and Sean Payton is that that defense is going to buy them enough time to figure it out I don't know if they will figure it out but at least they'll buy enough time to figure it out.
