Worry? No. Would I like to have seen a few series in one of them, yes. If they play no snaps with Wilson, Sutton, Jeudy, KJ, Williams and Gordon in this final game, yes I think it's a mistake. [Reply]

They looked completely out of sorts...that's on the new coaching staff. Doesnt matter if it was just an "evaluation" game...those guys were still playing for a job.
Ruffly 30 or so players from that game will be on their roster...an 10 more on the PS.
There was an honest Donk report from camp saying the starting offense was just kind of meh...not terrible, not great....that it didnt really look much different than previous seasons.
Kind of shaping up like this experiment has a good chance of being a flop...thing is...with Wilson's upcoming contract demands and lack of top picks, this as good as they are going to be for a couple of years...roster-wise. They are going to lose some players next off-season.
Yep. Most reports I've seen indicated that the offense was underwhelming, outside of flashes here and there.
Of course, it hasn't stopped multiple Broncos fans from predicting a Super Bowl victory. :-) [Reply]

Well, there you go. Lots of weird shit said by people on sports forums. Of the 20 or so Broncos' fans that I talk to in real life, most are in line with my expectations. 10 wins, no playoffs... nobody that I know is talking crazy. [Reply]
Also was checking out the Bills subreddit, where I originally saw the article. Lots of Bills fans laughing about Hackett being their coach. They all say that Hackett was horrendous when he was in Buffalo, and they know he will fail as a coach. Plus the blocking scheme he uses is going to take some time to get implemented. Looks like another 2-3 years of losing, and being swept by KC. At least when the Hackett experiment is over, they’ll be back to having first and second round picks…. Unless they trade more away…. :-) [Reply]

10 wins?? Your my boy MHM, but that seems like a high number. [Reply]

Damn, between subreddit and Pasta's janitorial insider... this looks terrible. [Reply]

I get you guys had to get a QB. The Wilson trade was necessary to compete.
But the Broncos just don’t have great depth. I see why Paton drafted Bonitto. Chubb has missed a ton of games and Gregory has had knee and shoulder surgery in a span of 2 years.
But man he’s gonna have to really find great value on day 3 bc the you guys just don’t have the money or draft picks. Russ will get paid and probably one of your other guys will too be it Chubb (probably not), Dre’Mont Jones (I would pay him).
It’s hard for you guys bc the Chargers have their draft picks and the Chiefs have a ton this year and next year + a very generous QB contract with loopholes.

You never know what's going to happen until it plays out. Hell the Chiefs,Chargers and Raiders planes could all crash week 8 and you could potentially finish in 2nd place. [Reply]
