I’d be worried if I were a Chiefs fan. They got outplayed today if it wasn’t for that fumble return they probably lose this game. That D looks like a problem moving forward.

Yup.  JT get ready!

That’s typical Fangio for you awful decision.

 

Love him as a DC, not so much a HC. 

I think however he'd be fine with a better OC and QB. 

Just hard to grade a D guy (as HC) when it's the O that's holding you back. 

 

I'd take him as an Indy DC in a heartbeat.

Broncos are the best all around roster with the worst quarterback problems. Rather unfair to Fangio if he gets fired. Havnt had a quality starter since Manning.

He is a horrible head coach. He has thrown Lock  under the bus from the beginning after he was really good and then got injured. He might be a good DC he is a awful HC.

What makes you think he is so bad? Lock was never good thats why he got benched and replaced by other not good quarterbacks. Guys dont just get thrown under the bus for the heck of it in the NFL. It was his film thats it.

 

He has never had a decent starting quarterback the entire time he has been the coach. The team sure seems to buy in and like the dude.  Defense has been stellar every year.

 

I just think in this quarterback driven league, when the GM fails to provide the team with a qb thats up to par, the coach becomes a scapegoat, when chances are he had no chance at winning either way.

Could Melvin (Gordon) have made an executive decision, to block, the unblocked Melvin (Ingram)? Lock Had his back turned during that handoff...

Lock would have been left holding the ball (hopefully) on a broken play, and probably sacked...but the result couldn't have been much worse...

The media seem, simplistically, to distill results down to QB, but I doubt if all coaches do that. IF Fangio said (KC, LAC, and LVR) all have 'top shelf QBs',

all of them may have better receivers than Denver.

KC obviously does.

LAC, Allen, Williams, even Guyton and Palmer, and the 3 tight ends are good.

LVR, I'd prefer Woller and Renfro over Fant and Jeudy(who had an early pass through his hands today).

Fangio isn't good. He's a better DC, which is the case for a lot of coordinators. That 4th and 9 call to kick the FG was the dumbest decision he could have made. He's done that a ton since he's taken over. Denver needs a young offensive minded coach. Someone like a Leftwich or Kellen Moore. They have all the talent in the world. They're a legit QB away from being a Super Bowl contender. Lock isn't terrible. He's for sure better than Bridgewater. They gave up on Lock way too early.

I'd never watched him play until last week, in LA, and his QB rating was over 100 in that game.

I didn't know he could run...he was keeping pace, though not overtaiking, former teammate Nick Bolton, nearing the Denver goal line.

I did see, in interviews last year, that he seemed very confident, smug...until Bridgewater was named 2021 starter. Then Lock seemed shocked.

It does seem irrational to have given up on him after less than 2 years.

One current trend seems to be:

1. get a running back/quarterback

2. try to get to the playoffs before he's broken

3. if he breaks...just get another one...

Denver has Sutton too. Tim Patrick is a very good WR too.

    • It was online and looked good but was barely short. I just Youtube Colts celebrating win. AR went over to Mustache and picked him like he weighed 5 pounds hugged him, rubbed him on the head and said thank you! Then the guys in the locker room all just tackles Matt Gay saying GOAT  . This is a team I love already, great locker room vibes. Taylor has to see this and wants to join. 
    • I think it’s looking more likely JT plays for us this year.  Ballard is a stubborn GM and won’t give him away.  Taylor doesn’t want to lose an accrued year and he can now see he has a good OL here to run behind.  It doesn’t hurt the team is looking good with a new coach and promising quarterback either.   A lot could change between now and the end of October.  A team might still meet Ballards price if they think he is their missing piece .  Especially if Taylor plays and looks good.  That said I think it’s more likely he’s going to play the year for us which makes more sense all the way around.
    • If the idea is to use him just for this year - then yes, we can use him the same way with Richardson. If we want to not lose value on him leaving for nothing, then we probably need to trade him. The Ravens are probably closer to contention than us so that was my thinking.    Agreed. Moss showed exactly why you don't need to pay 15M a year for a super dynamic RB. Because even mediocre options give you a close approximation of the production/impact of what the superstar RB gives you. It's much better to use that money on positions where the difference between a 15M player and a league minimum player is MUCH MUCH bigger. 
    • I didn't have the game on TV til it went to OT, so I was looking at gametracker. I was waiting for the score change to say final, but it updated with no score change and said it missed. I was so excited! Thought yes! We have a chance! I was so excited that Matt Gay got to hit four 50-yard FGs in the same game! That's a record! That made my day. Love to be happy and brag about my team. That was a boost to my day!
    • I don't KNOW it... but that's the hope. That he will develop into something resembling Allen. Maybe even better. But we are not there or close to it right now... so... for now executing a scripted play drive seamlessly is a good start. Better than Allen was in his rookie year anyways.    I don't think he looks less athletic. But yes - the NFL defenders make the margins and spaces much much tighter. This is not surprising. He has 3 seamless rushing TDs in 5 quarters of play.  I kind of feel like he's trying too hard to be methodical and quick with his reads right now and he probably misses a few deep shots because of it. JT O'Sullivan pointed out one such opportunity in one of his videos. BTW, keep in mind that coverage dictates a lot of what areas of the field offenses target. For example, in game 1 vs the Jags they played almost exclusively 2 deep zone, which is specifically designed to take away the deep shots. It's not a bad thing that Richardson didn't test them repeatedly, on the contrary - it's good that he played within the offense and tried to execute rather than hero-ball.    But he did throw that beautiful deep out route that Pierce dropped in pre-season. I don't have much doubts that AR can actually make those throws.
