You know, you could have drafted a quarterback last year instead of Surtain, then got a good corner like McDuffie with your pick this year. But keep telling us that drafting Surtain and trading the farm for Wilson was the right decision. [Reply]

They could've at least had Micah Parsons, who's way more capable of having an impact every single play/game. [Reply]

Denver has only had a QB throw for 300 yards four times in the past two years, Russ did it in his very first game against a team who knew him better than anyone. What do you think he's going to do against the rest of the league?
I think he could struggle even more. You think teams won’t copy that formula looking at the tape? Seahawks personnel is not that great on defense.

When you looked at stats that “should’ve” happened, did you also go through all of the stats that did happen and decide which ones aren’t likely to happen consistently?
Or does this only work one way? If so, why? [Reply]

Looks like a blueprint was set
That under-thrown TD was on a rookie CB...in his first game. Jeudy actually caught it...so there's that.
It looked like a large chunk of the Donks offense were outlet passes to the RB...I'm not sure who was responsible for containing those but if that gets taken away...
Dont forget about the gimme INT that the Seahwaks dropped in the endzone...that pass was a duck. [Reply]
Both tackles, pass rusher, 2 corners. All rookies that got significant snaps.
And Denver still lost.
I mean holy shit man their OL was 2 rookies, an old Gabe Jackson, some guy named Phil Haynes that I’ve never heard of and Austin Blythe. And Geno still had time.
We nearly outgained them 2-to-1 and only punted once.
I came away from this game extremely encouraged.
Who cares about yards. Your team lost to a Geno Smith led Seahawks team that will probably end up picking in the top 10. If your team can’t beat them, how in the heck are they beating KC or even the LAC? [Reply]

The first two weeks are our preseason. We're going to keep getting better as the season goes on.

As a Chiefs fan/Donk hater Week 1 set the bar pretty damn high. Not sure how you top this until the playoffs (for donk fans, the playoffs are games at the end of the season that your team plays in if they don't suck balls). :-) [Reply]
