GO!

McClaurin back, but the Denver defense is too much for the commanders to overcome.

Bo Nix starts slow as always and puts them away late.

 

[travdogg]

Well McLaurin and Surtain are both back, and likely to face off a lot. I wouldn't be shocked if that battle went to a draw. I think Denver mostly shuts down the Washington offense, especially the run game. I do want to give credit to Mariota, he's been pretty solid filling in for Daniels, especially when you look at the backup QB around the league. I bring it up, because I think that ends this week.

I think Washington's pass defense might be the worst in the NFL. I think Bo Nix is a sneaky top-5 QB this week, and I think we get a nice bounce back week from Courtland Sutton, and Troy Franklin continues his ascent. I'd be treating them as top-15 and top-25 WRs respectively this week.

This game should have been flexed out Sunday Night. Maybe they thought Daniels would be back this week?

Denver-31
Washington-10

 

[xxxFTWxxx]

please be right! I agree that Nix and Sutton are going to both have a huge bounce back and trounce Washington. I may be biased because I am starting them both in a must win game but I feel weirdly confident today.

Wind chill temps in the 20's
Light wind
50% chance of rain showers during the game
The field has been recently resodded , if it's wet this could cause slippery conditions
If Denver gets an early lead I expect Sean to play keep away in those conditions
But sometimes sloppy conditions act as an equalizer
Maybe..but..

Broncos- 24

Commanders- 13

Let's GO!!!

Why do I feel like WASH is going to make this interesting...

They probably will. Denver’s 3 road wins this season have final scores of 21-17, 13-11, and 18-15.

Denver is the ugliest 9-2 team you'll watch.

Punting? Is this the 90s?

 

[Statorama]

It’s baffling that Sutton is completely frozen out of this offense. It’d be different if they were lighting up the scoreboard…I just don’t understand it.

Payton deserves a lot of credit. Denver has talent deficits and parts that don't fit, but he has held it together and kept the team focused.

The NYG game showed the importance of a coach that knows what he is doing.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Mariota’s tipped pass had all the velocity of Lamar’s limp-weisted throwing style in Revenge of the Nerds.

 

[The Frankman]

1) Washington is goign to hav e to do some play fakes because when Rodriguez is in it's too obvious it's a run play.
2) Washington may want to block the LBs from running upfield unabated.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Every time I see Hufunga I’m more mad the 49ers paid Aiyuk and let him walk. What a monumentally terrible decision.

IDK man, those 70 and 80's Steelers had Jack Lambert

 

[travdogg]

Why would Mariota throw that? That was a Brosmer level decision

 

[zed2283]

Why are these guys emphasizing the "t" in Mariota so much tonight?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Isn’t everyone glad we know about Bill?

Oh Marcus no.

Mario-Ta!

 

[dgreen]

Why would Mariota throw that? That was a Brosmer level decision

He had absolutely no pressure on him and decided to scramble up into pressure and then do a jump pass. It made no sense. He could have stood back there another five seconds without a defender getting near him.

 

[BladeRunner]

Has there been a Courtland Sutton sighting? Everyone's getting passes except him. Is he out?

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

Sutton isn't on my team so he gets no passes

 

[Statorama]

Has there been a Courtland Sutton sighting? Everyone's getting passes except him. Is he out?

He’s been in, but it’s pretty obvious he just isn’t a factor in Payton’s offense.

Sutton’s only chance is if Joe Flacco gets traded to Denver and starts a few games

Hill leads the team in yards, touches, and YPC. Doesn’t sniff the field until the 6 mins left in the 2nd quarter.

MM makes horrific, mind-boggling decisions.

I thought you were kidding, but now I can’t unhear it

Thank you! I thought I was the only one

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

And worth noting, Bill looked great on his 2 touches. He’ll never see the field again.

MarioTa

WTH Mike?

All game. Mike may have lost a bet?

I am vexed. Sean Payton has vexxed me.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Mario-tuh running right into Zack Allen looked like something out of a Warner bros cartoon.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

The ‘failure to report’ penalty is right up there with the elite handful of most bullshitiest NFL penalties.

6-7!

The only time he’s really targeted is if they positively absolutely need a catch. So he’s the guy they trust the most, but throw to the least. Madness.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Denver may be a fraud.

 

[Dez]

I needed those 2 pts for that Cooper tackle taken away damn you Peyton

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Seconded.

[The Frankman]

I can see why the penalty was on Bonitto, but how is there no penalty on the Washington guy who pushed Bonitto afterwards. That's a weird call and the NFL never seems to want to call offsetting on those.

 

[travdogg]

Denver is one of these teams where if you had no idea what their record was, and just watched their games, you'd swear they were like 6-5. They are 9-2, but they arguably aren't a top-10 team in the NFL. They just don't really have that "Top gear" that top teams need to have.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Vintage Mariota in the 1st Half, wily veteran turning back the clock on that last drive

 

[zed2283]

Sutton is one of my most disappointing draft picks (in two leagues). Why don't they throw to him??

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

bo nix is insane

"maybe engram will catch it this time"
