My take on the game:
God I hate the Broncos. HATE. The Broncos. I can't stand the Chargers or Chiefs, they make me want to punch someone, but I DESPISE the Broncos. Watching them go down is just sublime.
But while I was at it I watched our QB once again fail to get any kind of chunk play. And it doesn't happen for 3 reasons: 1) He doesn't understand the playbook or the scheme, 2) He's chicken isht to throw deep and 3) when he throws past 15 yds he overthrows or underthrows or just throws it away. Look at the stat. 21 completions, 188 yds, 0 TDs. That's freaking HORRIBLE. 5.5 yds/attempt. WHAT?! That has to be wrong, doesn't it? NO!
Compare that to Russ, who was TRASHING us with chunk plays all game - 17 completions, 237 yd, 2 TDs. 9.5 yds/attempt. You know, like the way pro QBs put up stats...
Man, if we had a competent QB out there we'd be killing it. We COULD have had Russ. We'd be 3-1 with Wilson or maybe even 4-0.
But hey, at least Carr figured out how to run right? 7 runs, 40 yds. First downs. NICE! Yeah, Russ knows how to run too.
4th best QB in the AFCW. We cannot afford Derek Carr's sub-mediocre play. All anyone has to do is shut down the run and put it all on Carr and we're DONE. As evidenced by our 0-3 start. And do we think we have the OL to impose our will on teams not called the Broncos? Everyone been crying about it all year long, our OL is trash, and people think the run game will save us?
And don't give me crap about bitching about a win. I don't want to hear it at 1-3. For those who think winning is ALL that matters, that's COMPLETE BS, unless you're 1 win away from the playoffs or you're IN the playoffs. It absolutely matters HOW you win - and how you lose - because that tells you all about your team and what you're capable of and what's going to happen in the future. It's great in the moment when your team scores with a pick-6. Doesn't do a THING for you down the road tho.
BETTER be a playoff win in 2022.
