Broncos defense is getting tired.

Turnover coming. It's the Buffalo signature.

Exactly. Brady needs to show some creativity near the goal line. Bootlegs, pitches, shovel passes, passes to the eligible tackle, whatever. Twice now, he's run on the first two downs and thrown it on the third. No wrinkles whatsoever. I thought he was keeping it vanilla against New England; now I wonder if he's got anything for the red zone.

They're doing ok. I'm more concerned about the red zone offense. Brady into a brick wall. And again. And again.

You notice that Nantz says "wide open!" on every receiver catch?

I'd like to see the stats after his defensive time outs. I suspect they're awful.

Damar on ANOTHER blitz! I mean, why not blitz a cheerleader instead?

I've seem do that on two other occasions. It's like he's on the other team's payroll. Worse than useless, because now he's not helping out downfield. Can yo win a Super Bowl with a safety of this caliber?

Yeah, he seems like just another smallish tight end catching the ball for six yards and immediately getting tackled. Would have been a decent sixth round pick, but what a waste (so far) of a first rounder.

I'm no expert, but it appears the Broncos are mimicking the Bills and letting them run all day, waiting for them to commit penalties and not execute. That last drive, they obliged.

They did, with that backup safety we drafted years ago.

Unless you play for KC.

In Romo's world, every player is outstanding.

Cook is such as asset. Got to bring him back.

Marv Levy had it right in insisting special teams was every bit as important as offense and defense.

Broncos playing to win.

Bo Nix looks like Allen.

Now it's just a matter of keeping the lead. Can the defense hold up its end?

Adjust by benching Hamlin. I mean, the reason he's playing 20 yards behind the nearest Bronco is to stop the big play. He has one job to do, and he can't do it.

Same here. It's like he's being paid by the word with no care about content. I gave him three short chances, and now I'm done.

This defense is overall quite good, in my view, except for safety, with Damar Hamlin possibly one of the worst safeties in recent memory. He's a reliable tackler, but his instincts and speed are so poor that he couldn't start on any other team. Bishop might have also allowed that TD, but at least he would make a play next time. Hamlin will allow another TD, and another.

Where do you get this impression? Honestly interested. I'm detecting no love for the Broncos out there. It's obvious that a lot of media gasbags want an upset, including the ones who likely voted against Allen for MVP. But on the whole, it seems to me the country wants to see the Bills or Ravens in the Super Bowl. Anyone but the Chiefs. Everyone on the planet knows Broncos would just be cannon fodder.

The impulse to whine is powerful, not just because injustice rankles so much (not just in our species, see below) but also because wiser perspectives, such as wisely understanding that the truth will prevail, don't come easily for most of us. FWIW, I've found that complaining, like flame wars, ultimately makes me feel worse than simply shutting up, so I try to shrug off the slings and arrows, for my own sake. I'll get to the wisdom part when I'm (even) older. My public service announcement for today! 😀

I suspect the Browns fans will be pleased with the news. Time to move on from that albatross of a contract.

They did pick their own QB, that's the problem (or the biggest one, anyway).
