I see teams not afraid to play rookies instead we see a staff that prefers Mr zero pass blocking grade to lecitus smith
Kennard from the practice squad ahead o sanders and thomas
Whittaker instead of matthews
I dont say our rookie are good but certainly playing those guys u are pretty sure what u can get from them, nothing

Nashville TN.
That might have been the worst coaching decision I have ever seen.

I don't care if it's his first game, if I own the Broncos I am telling that imbecile to stay in Seattle... "Go eat some fish, you're fired."
Agreed. Pay all that money for Wilson and then go with trying a 64 yard FG. It’s what Wilson does for crying out loud.

The many missed opportunities in the red zone made him a bit conservative and deciding to go for the long field goal, but Seattle isn't the right field for long kick, btw the distance was good just a bit wide left

Denver’s coach is on the hot seat after 1 game. But I would almost pay money to see what this board would have done if Kliff had repeated that last minute 20 exactly. And sent our guy for a 64 yard Fg there.
Now that would be something to behold. And since the Cards aren’t going anywhere this season, I kinda hope something similar occurs for them.

Cardinals have the worst defense in the division and it will not get better in 2022. #KeimTimeCity

I am dumbfounded... if they'd hustled to the line and failed to convert they STILL would have had all their timeouts and a minute to try and get the ball back.

Just a shockingly stupid and gutless call. When you factor in that the previous play was a bubble screen it is even more mystifying... the only way that bubble screen makes sense is to set up a manageable 4th.

And in other news, both those teams seem much better than the Cards... ugh
The, Seahawks are not good with very limited potential, we are much better offensively
The Broncos will be better down the road as soon as Wilson will get more acclimate with the weapons he has
Btw both teams would have been ripped apart by the Chiefs

Brutal first impression for Hackett. A football town like Denver will be irate.
As a long time Broncos fan, I concur. Hackett looks like a complete bozo after one game. And that's even in comparison with some of the other genuine bozo HCs Denver has had over the last decade (Josh McDaniel, Vance Joseph, Vic Fangio). I guess it's in keeping with a rich tradition.

Good Lord just stop it. It has nothing to do with Texas because stupid, ignorant crap like that takes place in different states, almost any NFL city, college game, etc whether it’s on the field or in the stands. We live in an angry, hostile society with too many fools who would rather lash out more than act like a civil human being. But way to go making a few idiots a political thing. Jeez
Yeah I wasn’t going to reply to that and you are right that it has nothing to do with the state of Texas. It’s some really bad fans that shouldn’t be allowed in the stadium again. That is however, 2 games in a row that Dallas fans have thrown stuff. It was the refs last game and now dak. The refs nor dak deserve that. If the fans want to be proactive, how about stop paying for those tickets and make Jerry earn it more. Until fans stop going to his stadium he isn’t going to change anything.

Broncos fumbled twice inside the 5 yard line. This game should have never even been close.
If he makes the fg Hackett looks like a genius.
I’d trade Hackett for Kliff right now…:-(

Bleed the clock for a 64 yd FG.. bold strategy Cotton
Just INSANE. I'm not sure I've seen anything that stupid in all my years of watching football. You can't fire a guy after one game, but I would make him find and pay for his own transportation home. Just WOW!
