Pariah Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) ...but they can run back the ensuing kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown? At this point, I can hardly stop watching because I'm curious just how much worse it can get. It's like a 20-car pile-up. It's horrific, but I can't make myself look away.

Old Man Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 I'm mainly watching to see if they break the scoring record now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 We have Packers-Saints where I am, and the Saints have turned into the Aints in the 4th quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Didn't Carr go down? Thought I saw that in the chyron. Hope it's not serious, that dude earned the chance to play on a real team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Okay, next question: which of the Broncos' starters suffers a season-ending injury in the last 5 minutes of this lost cause? Based on history, I'm going to go with Jerry Jeudy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) Carr did go down, but that ought not be cause of the defense to go all Keystone Kops like it did. Edited September 24, 2023 by Cancer Old Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted September 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Holy mother of mohair.... I just looked at the score of the Donkey game.... Denver is gonna PLUMMET down the power rankings after this. This is honestly the worst defensive effort in my lifetime. Saints...I hear ya, Cancer. I didn't see it, but...how much of this was the classic defense plays too soft? AND they even miss a makeable FG late... Huh, well, the Fins weren't obnoxious. Ran the ball on 4th and 14 when they could've tried a FG to tie the points record. My gosh, the Denver writers are going to DESTROY the Broncos after this.

death tribble Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 0-3 ? Oh come on ! And I feel sorry for Pariah. I saw the score and I thought 'That can't be right'. One because of the size of the score and two because of the opponents. That kind of score goes back decades to before any of us were born.

Old Man Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 And well they should. I mean the Denver D started out by forgetting to cover Tyreek Hill on the third play and, uh, never looked back? I'm a little disappointed they didn't break the record but I'm more glad there were no apparent serious injuries. Except maybe to the Denver DC's career.

Pariah Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Is it too early to start talking about a fire sale? When is the trade deadline, anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted September 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Oh, the cold burns... Mile High Report can be on the critical side anyway, as fans tend to be...they've already declared the season over. Losses to 2 likely non-contenders, then this? That doesn't seem out of bounds. At the bottom of the article, they always have a "grade the team performance" fan vote. 7 of 8 give them Fs, of course. F----- wasn't an option given. But about 1 in 8 gave them A's...massively sarcastic A's..... Or they were Miami fans, of course. Mr. P: who are you gonna offer up in the fire sale? Certainly no one from the defense. They're all just little piles of ashes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted September 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 I'd have to look again, but...IIRC, 70 exactly has only been done once. So the scorigami isn't surprising. Now we'll see if the Chiefs blow past 70.... If there's one call for someone's head, louder than that for firing Vance Joseph...Justin Fields is 5-11 for 39 yards, 0 TDs, 1 pick, and 3 sacks. Rating...17. EDIT: Tweet from Bill Simmons. Quite possibly the ULTIMATE Toilet Bowl game of all time. I wonder what the record is for worst combined total-point margin in the games the week before? Assuming nothing changes much in KC, this might set a new mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphins got a double-double. 10 yards per play. 10 touchdowns. 2. Bears and Broncos have a -112 combined score differential. Bears have the worst, -59. Broncos are NOT second worst; the Giants are -55. Broncos are -53. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vane Joseph MUST go, NOW!!! However, pretty fresh off a Zoom call with the media, Sean Payton isn't throwing Joseph under the bus...yet. That said, his job can't be considered secure...unless Payton doesn't want to fire him because he pulled the trigger on hiring him. (That's a point brought up in the Mile High Report article. Payton has to share some of the blame for hiring a coach with such a disastrously BAD track record.) The Bears have one of the worst offenses in the league...47 points through 3 games. If they go for, say, 24+...if the defense can't pressure Fields (Washington's given up 19...yeah, 15 in 2 games NOT versus Denver; Bears are tied for second-highest at 13)...it'd mark the 4th consecutive BAD defensive performance. And if the Bears go for something like 31? 3rd straight ATROCIOUS performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Despite giving up a Grant and a Jackson to Miami yesterday, CBS has the Donkeys listed as 3½-point favorites at Chicago. Might be the last game where Denver is favored this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
