I actually miss some of the low scoring games of the 90's that were just awesome defensive matchups.  But they usually involved big hits, great pass breakups and tackling.   This game had none of that.  

I couldn’t agree more. People are saying Wilson and Ryan looked bad…and they definitely did. Could it be that they ALSO need more time to recover and game plan, instead of playing on three days rest?

Russ has been missing tons of opportunities all year so I’m not sure how much it had to do with short rest.  It’s hard to blame Ryan because he’s not a very mobile guy and his offensive line was dreadful last night

I like that Pierce kid.  Def. looks worth the 2nd round pick there.

 

He looked good.

Yeah, that's probably true but the selfish part of me appreciates getting to watch football 3 nights a week instead of 2.   With the exception of Chargers-Chiefs, most of the matchups have looked rather bad probably for the reason you stated though

Plenty of blame to around. One thing I noticed is the Indianapolis passing game looked an awful lot like the old Bills passing game. Everyone runs out seven yards and turn around! I’m not sure that works no matter what day of the week it is.

Like me, he had Sutton on his fantasy team and needed the points. 

Lol!  My opponent had Russ, Sutton, AND Broncos kicker.  Last night went quite well, especially that final play

Russ has been terrible in fantasy for a long time now...had him for a few years starting maybe 5 years ago and dude was boom or bust and would disappear for half the season.  Russ has "Bad Tyrod" games way too often for a franchise QB

I'm not an X's and O's guy but I heard someone breaking it down and said if they show man, Hamler is the go to.  Looks like Russ made up his mind regardless that he's going to Sutton no matter what.

Too bad his QB wasn't "trying to process everything" a bit earlier.

 

The only thing I will say is, and this doesn't excuse Russ who doesn't even seem to have glanced, but the Broncs RT is about to get his ass whupped by whoever that is on the Colts edge - he's already holding and it's not going to be enough.

 

That said, the old Russ would have backpeded or ducked and spun and got his man.

Russ is done.    I'm amazed how fast and far he's fallen.   

 

Great trade for the Seahawks, really dumb for the Broncos.

It was a pick play that worked.  Other receiver scraped off Hamler's guy.

 

Like I said, if you look at the RT he's lost; Russ is going to be throwing to Hamler (at that point) with an onrushing Tree in his face, hands up.

 

That said, I'd like to see the situation a bit earlier, because maybe Hamler was open earlier while the RT still had his man, and the DangerRuss of old would have backpedaled/spun and gotten Hamler.

There should be criminal prosecution against the Broncos and Colts after that game last night for being a crime against football.  Completely disjointed game that was unwatchable.

 

Realizing that was the Bills all too many times that looked like that during the drought years makes me happy we have Allen and company now.

 Next week is the Bears and Commanders? That is another "winner" for TNF.

Amazon is blowing up the phone with the NFL saying we need some flex help here....we didn't pay over $1 Billion a year for THAT.

That trade for Russell Wilson is looking like it will set the Broncos back years. Is Wilson finished or is it just trying to adjust to new teammates and a new system.? Broncos fans better hope its the latter.

 

Maybe the Broncos can coax Marshawn Lynch out of retirement and also put back the legion of boom... the real stars of Seattles superbowl season.  Wilson was good but I think he has aged out of what made him special.  Now he is just average.

Done and universally hated by teammates, both college and pro. I don't think I have ever seen a "star" QB as hated as he is.  Even Cutler had his teammates that loved him like Brandon Marshall. Literally nobody likes Russ. Haven't heard a single player he has played with stick up for him or do anything to discredit all of the negative comments and stories players have told about him. If anything, they seem happy to pile on. Even offensive teammates like Doug Baldwin.

 

Pretty much the "Bo Callahan" of the NFL...funny that he was drafted by Seattle just like he was in the movie...basically he is a carefully crafted persona that is designed to "show him" to the fans and media in one way but it's all fake and his teammates hate him for it...on top of him being a snitch and telling coaches about what was going on and what people were saying about them.

 

Richard Sherman was literally giddy after the game on the Amazon set talking about how Russ sucked. He couldn't even contain himself.

Its a shame because Amazon actual put together a great program.  I love seeing all 22 when I want.  I love seeing live next gen stats.  The talk show hosts are good.  Just the football games themselves suck.
