That guy can move for a huge dude!

 

[ShamrockPride]

VIDALLLLLL

 

[John123]

Already some embarrassing officiating, basically gave Denver a TD

Because of one call?

Would have been 4th and 3 and a likely FG attempt otherwise.

People really complaining about the helmet to helmet? The initial contact was 100% helmet on helmet. Idk, seems odd to complain about it.

Even the on air official said that’s not a penalty

It would have been 2nd and 2 without that penalty.

You made me back up and check. It was 1st and 15.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Anyone else’s picture getting all glitchy?

 

[travdogg]

This team is so dangerous when the pass game gets going, which should be more often as Herbert is a top-10 NFL QB.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Great 2nd drive and answer by the Bolts
TD!

 

[ShamrockPride]

Nice effort.

 

[JoeJoe88]

Not feeling great about my Ladd start tonight…

 

[SengerCJ]

Had tickets to the Browns/Bengals game tonight :( took a pretty big hit selling them after it got flexed

 

[Desert_Power]

Prime is always the worst app, can't really even watch any of it so far tonight.

I’ve never had trouble before tonight

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Not feeling great about my Ladd start tonight…

Looks like a high scoring game and Herbert has only thrown 4x, completed all of them
I understand how you feel Joe, but pop a cold one and relax for a bit

Great out route by Vele there. He's been a real nice find.

How good is Bo Nix?
I was skeptical like many, didn't give him a lot of credit for their early success and getting out there as a Playoff team in '24
Yet Denver is here already

How many franchise QBs can there possibly be in 1 Draft?

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Impossible to play any Denver RB when they are running 4 guys out there on 1 drive

I think I saw Olandis Gary putting his helmet on.

I'm not ready to call Nix a franchise QB yet. He looks solid, but the Broncos turnaround has been mostly about their defense going from 30th to 1st.

Right now, Daniels is the only rookie QB, I'm calling a Franchise guy.

 

[SoBeDad]

I drafted Courtland Sutton as the WR 39, my 3rd WR. Dropped him mid October after a 0 target game in a win. Bad move.

 

[travdogg]

Absolutely hate jumbo sets. Just don't see the point, you close lanes up, and basically telegraph your play. You'll have more success running the same run play but having Johnston and McConkey out there to at least make the defense worry about a pass. I think Harbaugh is doing a very good job fixing a team that had fallen apart under Staley, but he does still do things like that more than I'd like to see.

I was skeptical of Nix but he looks like the real deal to me.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Mims with a total game changer
Bubble screen he breaks off for 60+ yds?
1st and Goal!

 

[JoeJoe88]

Jesus I know they are a bit banged up but the Chargers D looks awful

 

[IvanKaramazov]

It's been a while since I saw somebody get taken down by his t-shirt. That's some grip strength.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Nix had Javonte wide open in the flat, kind of overthrew and threw it too hard, bet he would like that back

 

[ShamrockPride]

Wow, the entire defense just completely forgot Williams existed right there.

Franchise QBs are often paired with franchise o-coordinators or franchise head coaches. Nix is doing better than Wilson. OTOH, we thought Mac Jones was a franchise QB. Nix has wheels, I think he and Payton will do well in 2025, the trajectory is up. I'd rate him higher than Caleb.

 

[SengerCJ]

Can’t believe everyone was yapping about the Under

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Vele TD!
-Denver now 3 for 3 with TDs capping all 3 drives to start the game

 

[The_Man]

I think Nix is legit. Gives me some Brad Johnson vibes

 

[renesauz]

I think Nix is legit. Gives me some Brad Johnson vibes

Really regret going with consensus over him in one league last spring

 

[Jppaul]

90% on here and other fantasy discussion sites and radio expecting a defensive slog. Which means each team will score 50 and everyone will be pissed for benching X, Y, and Z headed into the weekend.

Lol good call

 

[travdogg]

Chargers really getting screwed on some big calls. I mean, they aren't stopping Denver anyway, but the refs are helping.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Broncos have their #2 WR in Vele. Gotta find a TE now and a small slot/gadget guy. Keep feeding Nix with new toys.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Denver gets away with an ineligible man down the field on the TD
The Booth says so, The fake Ref says so, Harbaugh said it was bogus

The replay sure looks like #77 was almost running into the end zone when Nix finally released the football

 

[Insein]

The illegal man down field rule is so dumb but they clearly committed it there. Surprised they picked it up.

I’m a Bo Nix starter, and I approve this message.

 

[The General]

see it makes no difference if some 300 lb dude wants to run around a few yards down field!

 

[Insein]

Bad pass by Herbert. If he puts it on Palmer in stride, easy catch.

I think that's got some truth to it but is also tricky. I'd rather have Caleb than Nix in a vacuum, but I'd also MUCH rather have Payton than the Eberflus/Waldon/Brown poopshow. Nix went to the best situation in my opinion.

There is a part of me that thinks JJ McCarthy could be the 2nd best QB from this draft, simply based on O'Connell and JJ/Hock/Addison.

Tatum Bell says, "here, hold my cell phone."

 

[Ministry of Pain]

5:00 left, can Denver add to their already impressive lead?
They also get the ball 1st in the 2nd Half
Up 21-10, can they go score-Half-score?

It’s a weird hypothetical thinking about what would be happening with McCarthy if he didn’t get injured.

With the Vikings trajectory with Darnold, I doubt he’d be starting at this point.

Of course, he wasn't supposed to start this year at all anyway.

Not to get in too deep a rabbit hole, but I wonder if Darnold is playing at the level he has, if he's been looking over his shoulder this whole time.

 

[travdogg]

Big drive here for LA. Can't go 3 and out but also need to make this a 1 score game.

ETA: Feels like McConkey time.

 

[The_Man]

With the way every rule is geared to help the offense these days, I’m not sure why ineligible man downfield is still a penalty

What’s the logic behind making it illegal? Just let O Lineman run wherever they want, they still couldn’t block a pass defender before the ball is thrown or it would be offensive pass interference

Of course, he wasn't supposed to start this year at all anyway.

There was a ton of chatter that McCarthy would likely come in after 6-7 games. But that was under the assumption that the Vikings and Darnold wouldn’t be very good.

And nothing but chatter without knowing anything so doesn’t mean much.

But there was expectations that he’d likely take over this year… and I think Darnold one year deal backs that up as evidence.

People really complaining about the helmet to helmet? The initial contact was 100% helmet on helmet. Idk, seems odd to complain about it.

It was shoulder to shoulder. The helmets hit too, but the initial contact was fine. Even the rules guy agreed.

Yep. Incidental.

 

[travdogg]

That was a pretty bad force by Herbert. Had Johnston on a short crosser and should have taken it.

 

[dickey moe]

The Dak Prescott of the AFC.

No.
