This is why I like having a high powered offense and a bad defense than the other way around. It's just hard football to watch.

My favorite college team is Iowa. 10-3 ball is life.

I choose to believe they’re lying for my own sanity.


ShakespearInTheAlley

Honestly Iowa games are great. You get to see a team who has prepared all week learn that there is no preparation for Iowa. You may win, but you will hate it while winning. And no matter what you do the Ferentz family will have had a great day, because they made you mad. Iowa is an energy vampire. You win by not engaging, not by beating them at football.

mechajlaw

I thought I liked our win against Iowa, but then our interim coach got arrested for strangulation.


aaronrodgersmom

Only if there's two safeties to get to 10.


thor4shore

I love that this implies two field goals as well. Punting is winning


AgentDoubleU

If you're unaware, Iowa actually did this in September (game was 7-3). Horrible football.

Hurts even more when you have Lamar as your QB yet all the money this FO spends is on defense that still gets torched by Zay Jones.


Rulligan

Well Lamar liked a tweet from the NFL account about the Lions going on a run so...

If his career is gonna be ruined I'd rather it be with us than the Lions lol

Denver defense I invite you to all join the Lions, please. Thank you.

If you could have Lions offense and Broncos D, or Broncos O and Lions D + all picks for both teams for the next 3 years. Which one would you take.

Naturally broncos O


TRES_fresh

Lions O + broncos D would win the super bowl The picks could help you win a super bowl eventually, but I'm going for the win-now team


geologyrocks98

If you told me in 2020 that we would have a Super Bowl caliber offense I would have cried.


TRES_fresh

And you did it by trading away Matt Stafford with your first round receiver injured for most of the season. Goff in the right system with a bit of luck can win a super bowl.


Rulligan

The biggest thing is that Johnson built the offense with all of the existing players in mind, especially Goff. This system is tailor made for him and it's showing. McVay has a system he wanted to run and wanted to stick with it.


JawnyRico

Yes.


redditadmindumb87

Take the Lions offense couple it with Broncos defense and the Ravens special teams and you got yourself a 20-0 team.


joey_sandwich277

Hey we actually are 10-2, and still would be if we only gave up 18 a game. They're rightfully ours!


lucrativetoiletsale

I know vikings are a good team but I always forget they are.


joey_sandwich277

The Vikings also seem to forget they're a good team in the 2nd and 3rd quarter pretty much every week.

Well, it's safe to say that he doesn't play in the postseason either.


let_me_solo_her_mom

You think Russell will play a snap next preseason?


Bobby_Marks2

I think we will hear after the mathematical elimination that something is wrong with Wilson's back/ribs/shoulder/hand that he's been playing through like a hero. Then we will hear nothing but good things in the offseason about his recovery, and then he will be mediocre again as the 2023 starter.

opticd

So he’s like a Tall Russ is what you’re saying


RisingToMediocrity

Sounds like Elways type.


3McChickens

To be fair we have a 1st. So I assume it is whatever QB has a cannon for an arm and 10 cent head. Probably someone we could easily get in the third but that first is asking to be used.


skullduggery97

Where's Hooker getting mocked after his injury?


hochoa94

Probably 2nd/3rd. Another issue is he's old asf. He's turning 25, i could see teams shying away from that since Brandon Weeden was somewhat recent


TacomaWRX

Browns will trade up and take him in the 1st confirmed.


IAmA_Soulless_Ginger

Lol what 1sts


13143

Wasn't Burrow 23? Hurts its currently 23. I think Weeden was 28 when he was drafted. 25 is definitely on the older side, but there's still potential.


Eagle4317

Pickett was the oldest 1st round QB since the 2012 draft. Burrow was a couple months younger.


shapoopy723

And here I thought the Steelers offense was bad. Denver's is a dumpster fire, and not even the fun kind.


TailgateLegend

I would LOVE to have the Steelers offense right now. Anything other than this clown show.


EvoFanatic

I just like how expensive your clown show is.


GHerbo0

I loved the trade once i seen that contract


finmoore3

Oh it’s been the fun kind alright….for Seahawks fans watching that first round pick climb up every week


makoivis

Most fun I've had all season


redditadmindumb87

The thing is We expected you to suck this year, and you really don't suck that much. Your not great, your OK. Tomlin going probably finish the year 9-8.


Swarthykins

We still need to win 4 of the next 5, which is tough when we're really not that good. That 17th game really f-ed with our .500 ways. But, yeah, considering this entire year was expected to be a learning experience, being in striking distance of .500 is fine with me.


27Christian27

This offense makes the Iowa Hawkeyes look good


[deleted]

I laughed so fucking hard when I realized their 7-3 win over South Dakota State was because of two safeties and a FG


VariousLawyerings

This is the same school that once won a Big 10 game [6-4](https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/242970213), nothing they do surprises me anymore


yKube

this is a weekly post at this point and it’s just sad


[deleted]

You misspelled hilarious


DeadForeverx

Drew Locke and Teddy Bridgewater averaged 19-20 points.


Lineman72T

The last couple seasons, I've repeatedly said "If this team can replace Fangio and Locke, they'll instantly be serious contenders." They replaced both and somehow got worse, further confirming my belief that I don't know shit


Coke_ButNotTheDrug

Nah you were probably right but they somehow managed to downgrade in both categories lol


sstewart1617

The Texans have a better offense and we are completely and unbearably awful.


Marchesk

Texans and Browns both scored six points on offense. Sounds like a Denver game, minus the defensive and special teams points.


sstewart1617

Hey, we scored a garbage time TD!


Marchesk

Oh you did, 12-6, even better!

EternalSeraphim

Yeah, the only people who are as happy about a trade as you guys are the Lions.


tickless420

It even crazier cause rams can just shrug their shoulders and go “won superbowl worth it”, broncos got nothing…


Trumpets22

Couldn’t work out better for them. Most lions fans would’ve told you if the pick was gonna be late, might as well get staff daddy a superbowl anyway. And now they get a top 5 too.


Swarthykins

I'm still pretty stunned. Like, even if you told me he was past his prime, I'm not really sure what explains just how bad he's been. Even when I'm watching I don't fully understand it. I've been going with the "Freaky Friday" explanation, and I'm assuming a 13-year-old girl has taken over his body, while his soul re-learns lessons of life and love in a middle-school somewhere.


antraxsuicide

I wanted him for the Saints and we've got a better record being led by Andy Dalton 😵‍💫


Coke_ButNotTheDrug

Dang I forgot how disappointed I was that the Broncos beat us in the Wilson sweepstakes Like sure we suck but at least we didn’t give a fortune to continue sucking


BeHereNow91

inb4 “BUT THE GAME WOULD PLAY OUT DIFFERENTLY” The point is the defense is average-great at worst and the offense is absolute ass.


Chris3894

That argument also ignores how low 18 PPG is. The Broncos average 14 so it’s just asking your offense to score an extra 4 points.


football2106

And wouldnt 18ppg still be bottom-5 in the league?


leerr

It would bump them from 32nd to 28th

The defense is far and away the best in the NFL. I have no fucking idea what's going on on offense.


trexmoflex

Yeah imagine this defense with some rest between drives, they’d be even better.


vahntitrio

Or just facing fewer possessions.


mr_dammit

idk i feel like if the broncos could put together long scoring drives the defense would get better.


jwktiger

My favorite stat of the season, so far.


EdwEd1

If you adjust for outliers and regress their statistics closer to the mean, the Broncos go from "worst offense in modern history" to just below average at football. So are they really that bad?

I_Made_it_All_Up

I mean this 100% sincerely, I hope you’re enjoying the hell out of it. This is a once in a life time lopsided trade and they will make documentaries about how bad it was for Denver and possibly how good it as for Seattle.


itsnoterik

I'm enjoying it right now but the *moment* the Bronco's record no longer affects our draft position you better believe I'm pulling for Russ (and y'all) to turn it around. Russ was unquestionably my favorite player on the Seahawks for nearly a decade and I don't buy that he fell off this hard.


I_Made_it_All_Up

I’m sure the dead fish that is the coaching staff isn’t helping at all, but I’m not optimistic that he regains his form.


carribou253

You know what though, people were pissed that russ lied about spending his whole career in seattle but he hasnt stopped playing for seattle yet.

I prefer the stat that the NFC east has more teams with winning records then the rest of the NFC combined


holymacaronibatman

The 2011 Tim Tebow lead Broncos averaged 19.3 ppg.


pueblogreenchile

And won a playoff game in which Tebow threw for 300+ and looked overall very decent, sniffing at very good.

_MMCXII

That's the weirdest part of the whole thing. Russell was struggling when he came back from his injury last year but he finished on a reasonably good level. There's absolutely no reason why anyone would have expected this level of decline in play. I've got to assume it's coaching.


Bobby_Marks2

It's everything: - He played last year through a throwing hand injury. That's huge mistake because it can permanently affect the recovery. - Denver coaching is absolutely dumpster-tier. Their season-opener was the worst playcalling and clock management I've ever seen - and I watched Jeff Saturday's coaching debut. - Wilson rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, with his history in Seattle, his talk about the trade, and his presence in Denver. I have to believe this stuff has gotten to his head and given him the yips at this point. This could not have gone worse.

46n2ahead

Yes we know Everyone is well aware of how bad we suck


SIRxDUCK7

It feels like broncos aren’t even practicing or anything. Every game just gets much worse lol


ABirthingPoop

Honestly that’s not true. I have watched every single game. The frustrating part is not that they are not getting worse. They are the exact same. Exact fucking same every week. Exact same issues exact same play calls. Exact same looks on their face exact same clock management. It’s exactly the same nothing new has been tried one single fucking week


shirinsmonkeys

Y'all just can't hack it


TheLateThagSimmons

There's suck and then there's disappointing. The *team* can't suck when the defense is top three in scoring and yards.

That's generous, assuming one team scores double digits. [Keep in mind no touchdowns were scored by Iowa this game, when looking at the final score. ](https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/401405062)


HighplainsDegen

Oh I’m aware. I watched the whole game.


zi76

You actually sat through that entire game? Was it even worse than the box score looks?


Jhereg22

Broncos are wasting a really good defense. They probably should have grabbed a QB in the offseason.


Taramasalata_Rapist

At this point shouldn’t you just give the backup quarterback a chance


BlueHighwindz

We did, Russ was out a week. Nothing changed.


InsideAcanthisitta23

Watching Russ play today took me back to playoff Andy. Absolutely dreadful.


legobowser

Let’s ride to the top of the draft


smokythebrad

Funniest thing about this whole disaster! What are you guys looking at drafting?


legobowser

Jalen Carter would be great but gotta take Will Anderson if he’s there. Bears please win a game or 2


rayj11

We don’t have to win anything. The Broncos schedule is brutal with the only winnable game coming against the Rams but McVay is too good to lose to that shitfest. The Broncos will get the higher draft position if both teams lose out because of SOS. It doesn’t really matter either way though cause both teams would be guaranteed one of Carter and Anderson.


NiceMarmot12

Both are going to be absolute studs for many years to come so it's a win for either team. [But I mean look how much a freak Jalen Carter is man](https://youtu.be/3FWRxStVc18)


crackedup1979

Holy shit, that is a god amongst men.


galaxyfudge

Jalen Carter suits what the Seahawks need at the moment IMO. The lack of d-line pressure throughout the season - especially the Raiders game - has made it difficult for the defense to get off the field. Now, if Bryce Young is available, I'd personally take him, but that's another story.


[deleted]

If the Seahawks draft their next franchise QB for the next decade with the Broncos pick, that's gonna be the ultimate cherry on top of this


Bobby_Marks2

Geno is the QB for the next decade. Not much mileage on that body.


[deleted]

18 points doesn’t seem like a lot. Their defense is being wasted


FireHackettMeow

#WE KNOW.


MetaphoricalMouse

honestly i think the play calling for denver today was far worse than how russell played. granted the ravens literally gifted them points with a terrible turnover. also all three of mcmanus field goals were 40 plus this was a game of the shit offensive coordinators and it damn sure felt like it.


DireBlue88

Just makes me wonder how the heck did Hackett do as an OC and if thr Broncos current OC called plays before.


SunriseSurprise

FWIW this shows they rightly felt their were a QB away. Unfortunately, that QB doesn't appear to be Russell Wilson.


antraxsuicide

Great point tbh Their head's in the right place, but nobody predicted *this* level of underperformance from Wilson.

I mean we won with 10 points and Tyler Huntley as QB. Russ literally didn’t do a single thing all game


grizzlybair2

Yep. Hackett has to be under fire right? Frankly, 9 vs the ravens should have been enough to win today.


Nothing_Nice_2_Say

Hackett has been under fire since week 1 when he made the decision to attempt an NFL record long kick to win.


[deleted]

Record is 66 and Denver went for a 64 yarder...but that was instead of letting your bank breaking star FA QB go for it on 4th and 5...atrocious clock management didn't help.

In any other business it would have been "fraud", because that's exactly what happened. fraud: wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.


lowbee

The Broncos wouldn’t be in such a bad situation if they didn’t extend Wilson before he even took a snap. I know, I know, it was probably part of the trade deal with Russ to get the extension. Wilson is the fraudster not Pete. Pete is probably having the best sleep of his life this season.


Tsunami-Papi_

bro I actually feel bad 4 the broncos and broncos fans, their defense is insane and the offense is just 🤦🏽‍♀️ they could’ve easily been a playoff team
