Guess what? RBs are becoming irrelevant. This isn’t 1945 anymore. KC and Buffalo are arguably the best teams in the AFC and their run games are MEH at best. The LAR won the SB last year and it was not because of their vaunted run offense. No one cares about Javonte outside of Denver fans and fantasy football people.

If their pre-season coaching is any indication...you may be correct.
NFL Corporate has a hard-on for appeasing powerful owners...I'll be keeping track of drive sustaining penalties/ game altering calls for the Donks ...down and distance, overall score at the time, point spread, over/under...and if the fouls were warranted. They have a number of prime-time games later in the year...if they are as bad as I think they are going to be...it'll take some real behind the scenes work to keep them relevant. |

Reality: They have a WR corps that hasn't accomplished squat but has decent potential, nobodies at TE, and talented RBs who probably won't be hugely productive due to a weak line. |

Your WRs dont scare anyone...no matter what the NFL puppets try to sell. Wilson needs a valid play-action to be a threat...1.9 YPC over two games isnt going get anyone to bite. Last edited by BlackOp; 08-23-2022 at 09:50 AM.. |

AFCW has some good pass rushers...and Wilson holds the ball looking for the hero ball. Last edited by BlackOp; 08-23-2022 at 10:15 AM.. |

Here's what a recent Broncos report looks like:
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Under a beautiful azure Colorado sky, the Broncos’ offense was ugly for a while Thursday morning. During a red-zone period, both the first- and second-team offense couldn’t find the end zone once. Pressure poured in on Russell Wilson. At one point, the defense logged what would have been a sack in game conditions, but given the chance to extend the play, he fired for the pylon … and Ronald Darby intercepted the pass. “Those first two periods, that was all defense,” Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett. But it was also the offense breaking down. “The defense is playing really well, and the offense has to step up. That wasn’t good enough. They didn’t do good enough,” Hackett said, rattling off mental errors, missed blocks and drops as things that went awry. “And it wasn’t just one guy,” Hackett added. “It was a combination of everybody.” Then, after the period, Wilson gathered the entire offense. And when it was time for a two-minute, move-the-ball period, Wilson opened by hitting Brandon Johnson down the left sideline for a 39-yard connection, setting up a touchdown. This is how I expect their games vs KC to go. Denver's O sputters and fails to reach the endzone in the first 3-4 series. Suddenly, Wilson completes a bomb down the sideline and Knowmo has a gif posted within minutes, along with the obligatory ![]() Before Broncos fans have finished high-fiving and shaking their heads, Mahomes has engineered another methodical TD drive for a two score lead. |

I said a few weeks ago...everything would have to break almost perfect for the Donks out of the gate. Scheme working on both sides of the ball...Wilson looking in sync with the offense. It looks like is going to be ruff sledding for both sides...especially with no real game-speed implementation. It's almost like they know it's not ready and are intentionally trying to hide it as long as possible. Not attempting to iron out some kinks in a preseason game is bizarre...waiting for when the games matter to do it. Maybe it'll get a few more suckers to invest in season ticket licenses.

They'll struggle at times, no doubt about it. But, there is a lot of upside in what that offense can produce. And, considering the teams they'll face, they will need that running game to set the tone to keep those prolific offenses on the sideline as long as they can. |

I just want to reiterate how strange it is the the Donks have to play Seattle in their first game.
Patton's entire credibility is on the line in week one. Normally...you wouldn't face the team you essentially banked the next 3-4 years on in a trade. He HAS to be sweating bullets...and might be part of the reason for not letting the starters play. That's a lot of pressure on everyone within the organization... If Seattle wins with Geno Smith...and Wilson looks out of sync....hoo-boy. The national/local press will have some fun. |
