Hey Sean, remember when you bashed last year’s coaching staff but then started the season 0-3 including giving up 70 points in today’s loss? Bahahaaaa.

Got to be a rough for this team right now. How do they even hold any respect for the HC at this point? Total mess.

whats the contract situation if they want to fire him?

No idea but it's Wal mart money right?

It's not just the money. Denver gave up a 2023 first round pick and a 2nd & 3rd in 2024 to pay this coach all that Walmart money.
But, worry not. These are just growing pains.

Sunk money at this point.
Payton needs to fire VJ ASAP. The offense is looking much better than last year but the D is much much worse, and it's not just today - Miami game magnified the weak spots. This d is terribly managed with awful schemes and no adjustments.
That said, the buck stops at head coach. Payton has to make a move. Firing VJ had to happen. Now.

Wouldn't that have had to be a trade too?

Best insight of any post in this thread today. The defense was supposed to be the strength of this team. The offense is without a doubt better. With the draft picks they’ve given up the past 2 years, I didn’t think they’d be much better than they are. Should have won last week without a doubt.

I thought that might be the case if the Chargers lost today, but he might hang on for a few more weeks.

Yes, he will probably beat what could be the worst team since the 2008 Lions.

Hey now... I thought the Bears could win 6-8 games this year before the season started
It's a popular GOTCHA item right now - but people cannot be seriously comparing Payton and Hackett.

Couldn't be happening to a nicer guy...

That comparison is taking it a bit too far, but Belichick might be a more appropriate comparison and not for anything good. Not that Bill seems to have been humbled post Brady, but Payton is finding out what life is like in a real division without Drew Brees just like Bill found when TB left town. Easy guy to root against at this point. Being an authoritarian **** only works if you're winning.

Payton is certainly a better coach but Hackett didn't get 70 dropped on him either. anyway you cut it it's been a tough time to be a Bronco fan. Wilson was supposed to come in and turn the ship around, then it was Payton, now what?
Caleb Williams?

Right? Hackett was 2-1 with a win over San Francisco after 3 games last year. Not fair to him to compare him to this dumpster fire of a coach.

Well they have a rich owner, I'm told. Very rich. Unlike all the other just sort of rich owners.

Are the Bears good enough to exploit the defense as well as Washington did?

Considering the Bears are one of the best rushing EPA teams in the league...yes. However, one of the worst coached teams in the league, so yeah.
Maybe a few long runs are busted by the Bears. Honestly could be a win for them as well lol

Didn't realize Payton went on the Colin Cowherd show last year and said he would have benched Tua for Teddy Two Gloves. Whooops. Dumb dumb.

Remember when Sean Payton said that Tua Tagovailoa would be benched?
Last year, Sean Payton said that the Dolphins would bench Tua Tagovailoa. After Sunday's 70-20 beatdown, Payton probably wishes they had.

A bad look, but hey, what does it matter as long as Denver keeps cuttin' dem checks!Didn't realize Payton went on the Colin Cowherd show last year and said he would have benched Tua for Teddy Two Gloves. Whooops. Dumb dumb.

always thought of Payton as a punk of a HC. always aware of the camera location while he's roaming the sidelines, the smug arrogance he operates with. glad to see him get his *** handed to him!! I only hope it continues and he loses 56-12 every week from now on.
dude should never have left the broadcast booth. I imagine he steps down mid season or years end, ala Urban Meyer. I think Peyton has lost the team. I think he lost the team the day he ridiculed the previous regime. boy was he mad on the post game presser huh? hey Payton you can't stand the heat get the F outta the kitchen . you sucked, broncos sucked, and we have 14 more games of this comedy show!!!

This. Maybe another comp is Urban Meyer. A winner in college, but when the dynamic completely changes and he has to coach grown a** men and Purdue isn’t on the schedule anymore, he becomes nothing more than a tinhorn dictator

And, then, of course, there was Payton’s scathing comment about former Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett with Payton calling Hackett’s one season in Denver “one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL.”

Broncos did something you want to see from a team that has a chance to turn around... They hit rock bottom - outscored 98-7 over 1.5 games - then came roaring back to score 24 straight and go 1-1 in those two games. They aren't out of the woods, but are showing glimpses of not being a total dumpster fire, especially on offense. And now the Nate Hackett rivarly game is queued up perfectly as a huge fork in their 2023 road.

Watch these guys torch the Jets this weekend. That'll be fitting. Argh. Already dreading it.

Agreed. This week vs. Jets will prove whether 2H Bears was a fluke or beginning of turnaround.
Job #1 was "fixing" Russell Wilson and he is currently T3 in QB rating and T2 in TD passes. So that appears to be tracking.
Special teams has been a dumpster fire last few years but huge turnaround there (Mims leading in both KR and PR avg).
Obviously defense has been horrid. But key players coming back this week including Justin Simmons, Purcell, Frank Clark, plus a few others off IR (e.g. Browning)
Regardless, Sean Payton is obviously much more in command of all the coaching details than any predecessor in last 7-8 years.

The Jets are like when Spinal Tap tries to take the stage in Cleveland.
They're rallying around Hackett. My God.
