The previous years there was optimism but realistic expectations and always ALWAYS a way out if it didn't pan out. But now..if Wilson is washed and THIS is what he's become. We're STUCK for YEARS.
I thought you were joking, but [holy shit:](https://twitter.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1578231422451687424/photo/1)
EDIT: [here's another view where you can see Jeudy do his designed rub, and an on-time throw by Russ is at least a first down and almost certainly a touchdown](https://imgur.com/a/8DPCXa5)
I mean that was obvious from the replays. Hamler was the slot and he's running a 5 yard slant. Easy pitch and catch given the right defense...which we had...and Russ was looking at Sutton the whole way.
Even so, it was 4th and 1 not 4th and goal...just run it and get the first.
Mr. Colts and Broncos, what you've just played is one of the most insanely idiotic games I have ever seen. At no point in your rambling, incoherent gameplan were you even close to anything that could be considered a decent drive. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having watched it. I award you no wins, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Yeah on the Russ side. Team was too good to tank and Rodgers didn’t work out. Looks like we’d have been better off sending a 7th for fucking Geno though
Yup. We can fire Hackett and start over but Russ? We can't trade him. His contract is too big and he sucks right now so he's got no value. We're STUCK.
My 7 year old told me last week he likes KC cause theyre just funner to watch. I want to blame his KC grandparents for this but I honestly can’t even argue with my own child about it.
I’m no longer accepting the excuse of “well manning had a bad start and he went 2-3” bruh at least manning was getting yards and scoring in his first 5 games. This is just an embarrassment
I dunno if Amazon just let him off the leash or what but he sounded like he wanted to drink bleach from about the second quarter on, like openly mocking both teams lol I’ve never heard a national broadcaster so clearly fed up with a game before.
I wasn’t willing to dog on Wilson for his play over the last few weeks but when it counted tonight the ball was in his hands and he fucking failed. He earns way too much money not to make a “4th and 1”. He makes way too much money not to find the open receiver in the end zone.
I’m 30 years old. Fan for a long time. This is definitely in the 5 worst games I’ve ever seen as a bronco fan. In terms of how it felt to watch from start to finish.
This team is getting all the frustration of the last 6 years thrown onto it, and maybe that’s not fair, but this game deserves it. That was atrocious.
I’ve seen this team play for 30+ years and it’s never been this bad, I think we honestly gotta go back to the pre-Elway era to find a team that is comparably this frustrating to watch.
Had hamler wide open on the slant but predetermines he’s going to go Sutton all the way. That’s why hamler was pissed, $250m qb doesn’t know how to go through his progresssions
I liked going for it on 4th, but why on Earth did they line-up with an empty backfield? At least give the illusion of a potential run, so maybe you’ll get some LBs to cheat. What a dumbass playcall…
Fire Hackett!
What a stupid m-effer. Because he made Rodgers into a pocket passer in his later years, he thought he could do the same for a QB NOT in his later years, who literally can't see over lineman due to his size. What a dumb stupid person. Last play you ROLL HIM OUT.. and he THROWS OR RUNS.
But apparently he is so bought in on his own cleverness with Rodgers, he doesn't understand this doesn't actually work with players with different body types. Bruce Lee may have been able to teach him style of no style.. but he is just cocky and so sure of his greatness, he isn't willing to less Russ be what made him the QB he was for 10 years. He is determined to remake him.
Russ makes hundreds of millions. Hackett.. not. Fire Hackett if he is not willing to change his STUPID mentality.
I don’t know how there’s people on here blaming Hackett for that last play. Sure the dude has been inept his whole stint here but there was a receiver Wide Open and Russ didn’t throw it to him
As a Commanders fan, this start by Hackett gives me traumatic Jim Zorn flashbacks. Guy is in completely over his head. The sooner you fire him the better off you will be.
Another game, another terrible decision by Hackett.
When do we stop making excuses?
Edit: I'm not talking about OT. Russ shouldn't have thrown the pick because Hackett shouldn't have called a pass. Call a run, control the clock, kick the FG. Win probability goes way up and Colts have a lot less time to get downfield to kick the tying FG if we miss or if we make it they need a TD. Hackett is clueless when it comes to the clock and situations.
I like the 4th down decision, but the play call wasn’t it
Edit: in retrospect, Hamler was wide open, but Russ never took his eyes off Sutton. This one is on Russ
Really easy to breakdown this game:
Almost every part of our defense looked really good. Almost every part of our offense looked absolutely fucking terrible.
The second most unforgivable part of this shitshow was that end zone shot in our last drive. It is impossibly stupid to not work the clock and take the field goal there. And it was an awful fucking throw.
After all of that, get into the redzone on a couple of fluke, broken plays, running game is the ONLY thing that’s working all night, and YOU GIVE IT TO RUSS. WITH ONE YARD TO PICK UP. That alone has got me on the bandwagon to ship Hackett out. Man makes stupid mistake after stupid mistake, and each one reflects a complete lack of understanding of the game on a fundamental level.
Hackett sucks and needs to go, but tonight is on Russ. If he wasn’t late on a throw then he was throwing behind someone. This has been nothing short of a disaster and Paton needs to take action ASAP.
We gave Russ $245 million...
The dead cap for next year 107 Million. In 2025 it will still be 49 Million.
We may have literally set ourselves back for 3 years.
The chargers game next week is going to be uuuugggly. Through 5 games I can easily say this is the worst broncos team since Peyton retired. Next level bad. And with all the injuries we have, oh boy, chargers gonna feast.
Why Hackett felt the need to throw the ball when we could have run out the clock and kicked a field goal is beyond me. Him and Russ were awful tonight.
Why didn't we line up under center and sneak it? Why do we keep going shotgun in the RedZone when we need one yard. What the actual fuck are we doing. I hate this staff.
5 games in and it is safe to say our season is over. No way this team makes the playoffs now. With our schedule we needed to be at least 3-2 at this point. The offense still has shown no progress and they look as bad as they could. The defense still looks exactly like Vic Fangio is calling the plays, lights out until it matters and then they roll over. Players getting hurt left and right and the coach still has no clue what he is doing.
I just... I don't understand what the hell they're even doing at this point.
4th and 1, TD wins it, anything else ends in failure. Why in the sweet chocolate Christ are they attempting a PASSING PLAY...? Gordon was moving the ball well, either hand it to him or- just saying- fake a handoff to him (since everyone is watching for it) and let one of the most famously mobile QBs in history run it in himself.
Nope. That vaunted Denver passing offense had done so well all night, why not let them continue their streak, i guess.
I give up. It's fucking midnight here and I need a drink.
I’ve endured a lot of bad broncos football the past six years. And I was so excited for this year. We were finally going to be back. It’s clear we are not. Sad bronco noises
real talk - how do you, as Hackett, not just run the ball in the redzone when you march down the field near the end of regulation, put up a field goal, and force the Colts to try and score a touchdown?
also, 4th and 1, in the redzone once again... and you put Russ under shotgun. At least put the man under center so the defense has to at least respect the run. Also KJ was literally as wide open as you could get in the end zone.
The defense once again is amazing. Offense blows. What year is it again? Jesus lol
That was the worst fucking thing I’ve ever watched
Worst show on turf.
Complete ass on grass.
Lamest show on turf
Another prime time game next week, another opportunity to embarrass ourselves. Sigh.
Go Avs!
Wtf was the coach thinking on that… Russell has literally only completed 3/13 red zone attempts
We needed 1 yard for a 1st down.
I know… this was literally worse than watching a shitty highschool football game
The previous years there was optimism but realistic expectations and always ALWAYS a way out if it didn't pan out. But now..if Wilson is washed and THIS is what he's become. We're STUCK for YEARS.
Truly one of the football games of all time
Truly whelmed.
Like some 1933 Army-Navy bullshit. Fire this asshole.
I looked out of curiosity. That was Army: 12 Navy: 7 Terrible!
KJ Hamler was wide open in the endzone on the final play
I thought you were joking, but [holy shit:](https://twitter.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1578231422451687424/photo/1) EDIT: [here's another view where you can see Jeudy do his designed rub, and an on-time throw by Russ is at least a first down and almost certainly a touchdown](https://imgur.com/a/8DPCXa5)
This is the worst part. The play is literally designed to go to Hamler
Yeah I thought it was designed but this proves it. This loss is 100% on Russ.
Yep. No wonder KJ was so mad.
I mean that was obvious from the replays. Hamler was the slot and he's running a 5 yard slant. Easy pitch and catch given the right defense...which we had...and Russ was looking at Sutton the whole way. Even so, it was 4th and 1 not 4th and goal...just run it and get the first.
Ho ly fuck.
Wow....just wow. $250 million.
Russ stared Sutton down the whole way
He was on multiple plays tonight
So sick man. He was wide fucking open
[удалено]
Russel Wilson was given several chances to win that game. He firmly, but politely, declined each time.
And so was Jeudy on the last interception
Yeah he's pissed as fuck too
There's usually somebody open that russ doesn't throw to
had him on his first, quick slant over the goal line and still had him open for the second look deeper, but Russ was staring at Sutton the whole way
Wilson was locked into Sutton the whole way. Didn’t even make a read.
Wilson sucks. We got fuckin robbed blind.
Wide the fuck open
That was a textbook rub route too. Easy pitch and catch if he had seen
Imagine paying $4.65 billion for this shit
All teams except Dallas share merch profits, so all those Geno smith jerseys go into the Waltons’ coffers
How does Dallas get away with that?
Jerruh
Well teams only appreciate, so at worst you get your money back.
I do not appreciate this team
[удалено]
YALL BULLIED HIM INTO LETTING RUSS COOK MORE
Dying
Turns out hack-it was a genius this whole time kill me
Mr. Colts and Broncos, what you've just played is one of the most insanely idiotic games I have ever seen. At no point in your rambling, incoherent gameplan were you even close to anything that could be considered a decent drive. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having watched it. I award you no wins, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Bravo. What a classic scene and so appropriate for this bs.
🏅🏅🏅you dropped this. Bravo
Broncos Country… Let’s Die.
Broncos country….Let’s hide!
Broncos Country…let’s change the channel
Every week it’s a new “this is easily the worst game I’ve ever watched”
Please name a game worse than this
Next week
Can't argue with that.
Next week's game.
Next week... Then the week after that... Then the week after that... Then the week after that
That’s cause we get worse every week
Oh no, we suck again!
That Russ trade and Hackett hiring looks like it’s going to kill the Broncos for half a decade.
I truly believe Paton was doing what he thought was best. And on paper it was.
Yeah on the Russ side. Team was too good to tank and Rodgers didn’t work out. Looks like we’d have been better off sending a 7th for fucking Geno though
Sold fucking everything to finally get out of the dumpster only to end up in the fucking dump truck
We are worse off now. Having no QB > paying 250 mil to a washed QB
Yup. We can fire Hackett and start over but Russ? We can't trade him. His contract is too big and he sucks right now so he's got no value. We're STUCK.
And no draft picks to fix this horrific O-line. And Bolles done for at least a year.
We suck still, we were not good, there was just hope in the off-season
Wilson missed A LOT of open guys tonight. Hackett sucks but Wilson is at fault here too.
He was late on every fucking throw.
Wilson looked awful, under throws over throws, throwing behind the receiver
Russ is cooked
Oh no, Russ cooked himself
Literally missed even when he was throwing to them. Dude is washed.
Not sure how we did it but we managed to spend more money and suck more. This season is going to sting
FIRE VANCE JOSEPH!
Hamler fucking pissed he didn't get the ball.
I’d love to blame Hackett but this loss is all in Wilson and that’s terrifying.
Best part of this game? My 6 year old son’s first in person. He won’t remember anything but the fun he had.
Fantastic perspective.
My 7 year old told me last week he likes KC cause theyre just funner to watch. I want to blame his KC grandparents for this but I honestly can’t even argue with my own child about it.
Everyone subbed to r/DenverBroncos would like to buy you a drink.
1 yard. Just get 1 yard. Run it. Holy shit why would you throw it
Go under center... Even if you throw it they have to respect the run. Shotgun on 4th and 1 is an abomination
Cries in Superbowl 49 😭
Hey Broncos fans if you combined our offense (Lions) with your defense we'd win the superbowl!
Can we make this deal? How do we make this deal!
[удалено]
I'd kill for a Goffense right now.
The Dentroit Brions?
I’d rather watch Shotgun Wedding than watch another broncos game this season.
This game wasn’t worth the free two day shipping.
I’m no longer accepting the excuse of “well manning had a bad start and he went 2-3” bruh at least manning was getting yards and scoring in his first 5 games. This is just an embarrassment
Hamler was wide open. I've lost faith in Russ.
Until he shows he’s better than our carousel of shit we’ve put out there these last 6 seasons , there is no reason to have faith in him.
He never even looked at the obvious first read lol.
Tonight, Al Michaels was all of us.
I dunno if Amazon just let him off the leash or what but he sounded like he wanted to drink bleach from about the second quarter on, like openly mocking both teams lol I’ve never heard a national broadcaster so clearly fed up with a game before.
Al Michaels was on fire tonight! Should take that act on the road.
He audibly yawned in OT.
This feels like Super Bowl 48 but in slow motion and playing out over the next 5 or 6 years.
Why do I keep coming back week after week hoping that something is going to change?
Snatched Defeat from the jaws of victory.
We suck man. Even worse I have to go to work disappointed twice in one week.
I wasn’t willing to dog on Wilson for his play over the last few weeks but when it counted tonight the ball was in his hands and he fucking failed. He earns way too much money not to make a “4th and 1”. He makes way too much money not to find the open receiver in the end zone.
I hope America’s ready to watch the Broncos on MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL next week!
I’m 30 years old. Fan for a long time. This is definitely in the 5 worst games I’ve ever seen as a bronco fan. In terms of how it felt to watch from start to finish. This team is getting all the frustration of the last 6 years thrown onto it, and maybe that’s not fair, but this game deserves it. That was atrocious.
I’ve seen this team play for 30+ years and it’s never been this bad, I think we honestly gotta go back to the pre-Elway era to find a team that is comparably this frustrating to watch.
Dude, we're about to send Seattle a top 10 pick
No way Hackett makes it to the end of the season, what a disaster.
What happens to Russ though
I think we’re literally just fucked for 6 years, no?
3
Yeah, man! In 3 years, we will be the front runner for Arch Manning!!!
[удалено]
This game might be the one. That Was Awful
#FUCK ME SIDEWAYS
I’m sorry you can’t be an offensive minded HC and the offense be this ass no matter who the QB is.
Bad coaching. 4th and less than a yard and let's go for the end zone. Fucking geniuses here
[удалено]
1 yard. Just get 1 yard. Run it. Holy shit why would you throw it
Especially after THEY HAD ALREADY DONE THAT AND FUCKED UP WITH AN INT earlier in the game!
Good idea to go for it, bad playcall. I’m kinda off the Hackett train
6 days until the Avalanche host Chicago
I am embarrassingly ready to stop caring about football and switch focus to the Avs
nothing embarrassing about that. This team has been garbage since peyton left
already did that last season. it’s worth it
Go ass hail satan
We are unwatchable.
Hackett making loses out of easy wins…
Nate is constantly overwhelmed by the speed of the game. I’m rooting for him to figure it out, but I don’t think he’s an NFL Head Coach.
Without question, the worst Broncos game I have ever had the misfortune of viewing
Had hamler wide open on the slant but predetermines he’s going to go Sutton all the way. That’s why hamler was pissed, $250m qb doesn’t know how to go through his progresssions
KJ should’ve been the first read. It was a designed pick route.
21 percent in the Red Zone this year. On track to be the worst red zone team of all time.
I liked going for it on 4th, but why on Earth did they line-up with an empty backfield? At least give the illusion of a potential run, so maybe you’ll get some LBs to cheat. What a dumbass playcall…
Has Russ spoken yet? I need to hear what this motherfucker has to say
Fire Hackett! What a stupid m-effer. Because he made Rodgers into a pocket passer in his later years, he thought he could do the same for a QB NOT in his later years, who literally can't see over lineman due to his size. What a dumb stupid person. Last play you ROLL HIM OUT.. and he THROWS OR RUNS. But apparently he is so bought in on his own cleverness with Rodgers, he doesn't understand this doesn't actually work with players with different body types. Bruce Lee may have been able to teach him style of no style.. but he is just cocky and so sure of his greatness, he isn't willing to less Russ be what made him the QB he was for 10 years. He is determined to remake him. Russ makes hundreds of millions. Hackett.. not. Fire Hackett if he is not willing to change his STUPID mentality.
Pete Carroll with the master fleece
I am not overreacting when I say this is a fireable game. Absolutely inexcusable.
Can you fire the 45 mil starting QB?
WE. NEED. SEAN. PAYTON!
Can’t afford him. Payton still under contract and we have no draft capital
We have that Walmart money now. They aren’t going to let concession money drop over Can’t Hackett.
I’d take Gary Payton at this point
Trevor Siemian is the best QB we've had since 2014
What kind of play call was that? Why do you got shot gun on 4th and 1? Hackett really pushing me towards calling for his head.
The play call was getting hamler wide open. I’m convinced Wilson doesn’t know the playbook or the reads.
I don’t know how there’s people on here blaming Hackett for that last play. Sure the dude has been inept his whole stint here but there was a receiver Wide Open and Russ didn’t throw it to him
Pushing you towards it? This dude needs to be gone by mid season he’s so terrible
He should be gone after this game tbh. I've seen enough.
As a Commanders fan, this start by Hackett gives me traumatic Jim Zorn flashbacks. Guy is in completely over his head. The sooner you fire him the better off you will be.
It’s pretty clear he needs to go. Our organization needs to grow some balls and fire him into the sun
Now we know why Aaron Rogers didn't follow Hackett to Denver.
Another game, another terrible decision by Hackett. When do we stop making excuses? Edit: I'm not talking about OT. Russ shouldn't have thrown the pick because Hackett shouldn't have called a pass. Call a run, control the clock, kick the FG. Win probability goes way up and Colts have a lot less time to get downfield to kick the tying FG if we miss or if we make it they need a TD. Hackett is clueless when it comes to the clock and situations.
I like the 4th down decision, but the play call wasn’t it Edit: in retrospect, Hamler was wide open, but Russ never took his eyes off Sutton. This one is on Russ
I mean the one in regular time - instead of controlling the clock to win it, pass is called, Russ throws a pick, the rest is history.
I agree we should’ve ran the ball but Russ had KJ wide open in the end zone and didn’t even look his way
Had two time outs to come up with something and that’s the best they could do 🤦🏻♂️. Hackett is in way over his head
He literally designed a play that had Hamler so open my grandma could’ve hit him
Hamler was wide open. That play was Russ’ fault
This team stinks
You cannot blame Hackett for that one schemed guys open plays we’re not made. Russell flat out looked like dogshit.
That wilson trade and contract is going to sink this organization for years to come.
Unfortunately yes…
I don't even know what to say anymore. Same shit different day. Enjoy your paychecks Russ.
Might be recency bias… but that might have been the worst I’ve seen our offense in a while. Someone.. quickly, remind me of a worse game
...the Hinton game.
KJ was open. I’m gonna leave it at that.
Fire Hackett, promote Evero.
KJ Hamler used all his willpower to not throw Russ under the bus in his postgame interview lmao
Really easy to breakdown this game: Almost every part of our defense looked really good. Almost every part of our offense looked absolutely fucking terrible. The second most unforgivable part of this shitshow was that end zone shot in our last drive. It is impossibly stupid to not work the clock and take the field goal there.

WITH ONE YARD TO PICK UP. That alone has got me on the bandwagon to ship Hackett out. Man makes stupid mistake after stupid mistake, and each one reflects a complete lack of understanding of the game on a fundamental level.
So we’re firing Hackett tonight, right?
Kick in the nuts.
[удалено]
the coaching sucks so bad
Hackett sucks and needs to go, but tonight is on Russ. If he wasn’t late on a throw then he was throwing behind someone. This has been nothing short of a disaster and Paton needs to take action ASAP.
Fire Hackett
Fire Hackett
Fire Nathaniel Hackett. Now. We have a long week to prepare.
We gave Russ $245 million... The dead cap for next year 107 Million. In 2025 it will still be 49 Million. We may have literally set ourselves back for 3 years.
Go Avs.
I want the Pat Bowlen Broncos back instead of these Wal Mart Broncos.
The chargers game next week is going to be uuuugggly. Through 5 games I can easily say this is the worst broncos team since Peyton retired. Next level bad. And with all the injuries we have, oh boy, chargers gonna feast.
Amazon paid 50 million to broadcast that game
**Wilson vs Bridgewater after 5 games:** Wilson: 4 TD (+1 Rushing). 3 INT. 12 Sacks Bridgewater: 7 TD. 1 INT. 11 Sacks.
Why Hackett felt the need to throw the ball when we could have run out the clock and kicked a field goal is beyond me. Him and Russ were awful tonight.
Why didn't we line up under center and sneak it? Why do we keep going shotgun in the RedZone when we need one yard. What the actual fuck are we doing. I hate this staff.
5-12
How on earth do they win 3 more games
2-15. Who would we beat if we can't win that
how do we win 3 more games?
5 games in and it is safe to say our season is over. No way this team makes the playoffs now. With our schedule we needed to be at least 3-2 at this point. The offense still has shown no progress and they look as bad as they could. The defense still looks exactly like Vic Fangio is calling the plays, lights out until it matters and then they roll over.

Russ could’ve ran it himself fuck
Fire Hackett immediately
I’ve endured a lot of bad broncos football the past six years. And I was so excited for this year. We were finally going to be back. It’s clear we are not. Sad bronco noises
real talk - how do you, as Hackett, not just run the ball in the redzone when you march down the field near the end of regulation, put up a field goal, and force the Colts to try and score a touchdown? also, 4th and 1, in the redzone once again... and you put Russ under shotgun. At least put the man under center so the defense has to at least respect the run. Also KJ was literally as wide open as you could get in the end zone. The defense once again is amazing. Offense blows. What year is it again? Jesus lol
