To be fair, Denver had about the same amount of defensive players out with injury for that game as we do now. Not the same amount of talent missing, but they were very short handed against one of the most explosive offenses ever.
Because it had no chance of working. Either the defender knocks it down or intercepts it. The only way that route works is if the defense doesn't bother to cover the receiver.
Yeah Allen shouldn't be making these throws but Dorsey also shouldn't be calling them.
These plays shouldn't even be an option for Josh at this point. He clearly can't help himself, so just remove them as an option
I don't. I've been very complimentary of the defense this past month. I realize they're playing without more star players than most teams even have to begin with. But you can't miss this many tackles and blow this many coverages and just brush them off like they don't matter.
Not the last touchdown where Wilson basically threw a Hail Mary and Sutton was completely uncovered in the end zone? I guess that's the offense's fault then.
That ball was in the air long enough to sprint from one side of the field to the other and somehow Sutton makes a completely uncontested catch in the end zone. Brilliant
Totally agree with what you're saying, but the fact that Taylor-Britt didn't get fined for his outrageously dangerous slide tackle exemplifies either a broken system or extreme bias in the execution of the system.
Non call on the Davis facemask cost us 4 points. Intentional grounding cost us 3 points. That makes it 24-24 (wouldn't go for 2 in that case) just based on those two calls alone.
That's not even counting the bogus RTP that resulted in the Bengals' second TD or the non call on the slide tackle. Those two together are at least one more score in point differential.
The catch that was ruled not a catch but was actually a catch but was also still a bad challenge despite it actually being a catch.
So yeah, all things being equal we win that game.
