if the pass isn’t working, I don’t know, try something else…

 

We basically never had the ball in the 2nd half until it was too late.

Oh, please.

Remember the MNF game when KC annihilated the Pats? IIRC, it was the worst beating of Belichick's career. 

Come January, the Pats were hauling in another SB trophy. 

Teams like ours and the Pats view these as just another game.   To KC then and Denver now those are the SB.  They mean very little to elite teams.  They are on to the next week.  Sucks to lose like this but it happens.   We could lose to the Dolphins next week but I'm willing to bet we play way better.

Na, it was 14-9 plenty of time to run it.

I predict this game thread blowing up about the end of Q2... and by Q4 Andy is a moron, Veach is overrated, we are out of the playoffs and looking at a high draft pick.

We had the ball once until it was 21-9 in the 2nd half. Time of possession was like 17 minutes to 4.

The guys on here saying the season is over and we won't win another game need to pump the breaks.  It was as ugly of a loss as I can remember but we were in the game with 4 TO's and our QB having the Flu.   

Chill out.  Our D has played very well minus Sneed.   Also remember this is the Broncos SB.  This is just another game to us.  

We will be fine.   

The defense is fine. It doesn’t matter how close it is with turnovers and sickness.  What matters is the score.  The trend all season is terrible wide receivers that can’t get open and when they do they drop or fumble.  This is a team that can’t move the ball and I tell you I get very envious watching other teams move the ball and have plays down field with players than can catch and get open.  We have a crew of community college receivers.  That won’t do it.  Pat is getting killed, the line is holding the rushers well enough, but no one is open.  Then Reid thinks we can just dink and dunk, but we can’t because the receivers drop the ball or are still not open.

Meh. The donks were DUE. Fucking 16 game streaks don't happen often for a reason. 

We were also due to have a game where nothing went our way. And believe you me, nothing went our way.

This game will get them focused for next week which is a way more important game.

 

Sometimes loses can be blessings in disguise.  I mean we had 4 TO's and the Broncos started at mid field almost every possession and we still had a legit chance to win with 8:30 minutes left in the game.  That speaks to how tough it is to beat our team.  You need 5 TO's, Mahomes to have the Flu, and a couple key drops to even have a chance.

Well I mean I am watching the game and the trend of wide receivers not getting open continues.  Division game or not, the broncos are a very bad team.  A Super Bowl champion team shouldn’t look like this, sick or not.  

Moore was open for the td....he just dropped it.

Considering how often the Donks ran successfully, having no Bolton was a big factor.

Yup..get used to it. It's gonna be that way till Bolton returns

Oh so please explain the 20 games we have won since we traded Hill then? 

To be fair we had an entirely different receiver core last season.  Mahomes can only do so much and he does a lot with little, but it’s time to get 2 receivers that he can rely on.  A lot of his issues this year is dealing with receivers he has no faith in.  

[jetlord 10,209]

It could be worse.  The Niners have lost three in a row. 

[SEMO 6,811]

Had to work.  Glad I missed this one.  
 

‘Ay, caramba!

Defense did great with how long they were on the field and how the offense left them hanging.  Different game if our offense could get open on throws.

Right that is why most of my posts say if they get open they end up dropping it or fumbling it.

Meh.  Their running the ball had little to do with us losing the game.   Bolton would have helped but he would have been a liability vs McLaughlin's speed.  I just think our ST and O put our D in horrible positions all day and the D played well all things considered.

That is very true, but I still expect a win.  I expect a win every week even knowing that is likely not possible.  Armchair coaching is easy for us to do and expect perfection, but that is life.

Umm   Kelce, Gray, MVS, Moore, Hardman, Watson.  Swapping JuJu for Rice is about the only change at this point.  Mahomes threw for 300+ and 400+ the last two weeks.  Let's just write this off as the perfect storm and move on.

Maybe a different post, I was replying to another one.

Fair?  Hardman and Juju have done nothing this year on worse teams.  There is no difference in overall talent between the groups imo.   We were 6-1 before today and that loss was fluky as well.  We lost today because our qb had the flu and Andy Reid called a terrible game plan and the Denver Broncos pulled out all the stops to win their regular season SB.   Hate to lose but we are 6-2.  We will be fine.

They are the most overrated football team at any level. They played nobody and now are getting exposed. Like last year, the so called best defense and we boat raced them. Kyle Shanahan is a fraud.

[Calichief 3,016]

I was told Hopkins was cooked. Good thing we didn’t get him. 
 

[SEMO 6,811]

They better not fret about this one.  On to Miami.

We had 7 plays for the 2nd half at the end of the 3rd and Denver still had the ball going into the 4th. Muffed punts etc will do that. We did not have possession of the ball to even run it
