Too bad the Broncos don’t have anyone that can catch those deep balls to take advantage, huh? [Reply]

What about the 7 fumbles lost versus 2? Especially considering 2 of those 7 directly led to losses for the Broncos.

I don't have concerns with Sutton or Patrick, hell Hamler was looking really good prior to the injury. Jeudy has some things to improve on for sure, we'll soon know if Wilson is able to work better with him than Drew was able to do.
The WRs are young and thanks to injury (Sutton and Hamler) the last two years, they've been an inconsistent group. Improving the QB spot helps, but now they need to stay on the field and prove it.
It's a solid WR group, say whatever you like about them, I'm not going to try and change minds. [Reply]
Just don’t prop Gordon up as some high quality NFL RB. We’ve all watched his full NFL career being that he’s only been in the AFC West.
I guess I missed where I did that in the comment.
Gordon has had 20 total TDs (17 rushing) in Denver, with 900+ yards the last two seasons. Splitting the load two years ago with Lindsay and Williams. Last season, Williams accounted for nearly the same yardage as Gordon and was used often in the passing game.
Denver's passing game has been terrible, no secret there. Improvement there opens up the run game and vice versa. All signs point to Williams being the true #1 this season, likely more like the split from 2019 with Gordon taking more than Lindsay. Both will be heavily used and offer up options in the passing game.
It's a very solid 1-2 punch at RB with those two. Either is capable of taking over a game, but we should see Williams surpass the 1200 yard mark this year with Gordon coming in around the 600-700 mark. [Reply]

Would you call that ‘significant’ ?
That stat significantly sucks... and another reason why Williams will be the main guy and Gordon is coming back on a 1 year deal. [Reply]
However, it looks like Russell Wilson really likes Jerry Jeudy. The two looked good together, and Wilson would regularly praise Jeudy for his route or his hands (looked sticky today). #Broncos@1043TheFan
Tim Patrick makes everything look easy - I mean EVERYTHING. As smooth as ever when it comes to routes, hands, etc. Looks good catching passes from Russell Wilson. #Broncos@1043TheFan
