17 percent: The percentage of plays in which the Broncos’ pass rush beats a blocker within 2.5 seconds. That’s the lowest rate in the league. Somehow a Vic Fangio–installed defense with Von Miller and Bradley Chubb has been held to zero sacks and a league-low two quarterback hits.
Overall, the Broncos are just 24th in defensive DVOA. That number has not been adjusted for opponent yet, which somehow makes it even less impressive considering the Broncos have played the Raiders (25th in offensive DVOA in 2018) and Bears (20th)."

Von stands up at the snap nearly every play, and reads and reacts. I don't understand why one of the best pass rushers in the history of the NFL would be used this way. [Reply]

Welcome to Chiefs hell with the misuse of defensive All-Pros. You better change that sig because its not accurate anymore. [Reply]

Great! Could you share it again so that we can see it without digging for it? I'm curious to see if you had your Donks at 0-2, 1-1, or 2-0 at this point. I'm betting that it wasn't 0-2. I'm also wanting to know if you still believe that your preseason prediction is how they will finish or if you would like to make changes. [Reply]

Good idea, the number needed updating. However, the second part is still accurate. [Reply]

Maybe he's keeping an eye out for the police. [Reply]

Elway hired a defensive guru to achieve this very outcome. [Reply]

It was in the prediction thread, had them at 9-7. Didn’t post a breakdown by game, I used a simulator that I posted a link for... IIRC, I had them at 1-1 at this point. [Reply]

You must be adding their # of wins this year to last.
Oof. 4-12 seems like a soaring high ceiling for one year with this regime. You're right, combine 2 years worth of wins and you got a soup going. [Reply]
At least when we sucked ass, most of us recognized it and didn't try to sugar coat it. Donkey fans in general still believe that they are good, just need a couple pieces and they're SB bound. Sad really... [Reply]
