**Washington at Denver** (-3.5, 38.5) (1 Viewer)

[Mitchie]

Ref should be fired immediately he's either incompetent or crooked. lf i was that bad at my job i'd be a goner.

 

[Tha Guru]

As a Saints fan, sorry Broncos, Roger HATES Payton. Learn for calls to go against you.

 

[ffmail4me]

Not enough can be said about Sam Howell. All this 5th round QB BS needs to be permanently buried. Kid has heart, played smart, and is a damn good QB. That's only his 3rd start and he wins in a pretty tough environment. I'd say Washington has their franchise QB for sure. 3-0 as a starter too

 

[Ghost Rider]

Just frustrating, The missed face mask call that changed the whole momentum of the game and now this--it is embarrassing for the NFL

As a longtime Broncos fan, what's even more embarrassing is Sean Payton running his mouth this summer about last year's coaching staff and then opening up by coaching the team to home losses to the Raiders and Commanders (two teams who likely won't sniff the playoffs). Nice work, Coach.

That's like...your opinion man. Our QB is 3-0 as a starter and we have a very talented roster of young players. This team will continue to get better and the NFC is pretty wide open compared to the AFC, so no way I'd say they have no shot at the playoffs.

More stellar officiating, clear interference

Hardly….if that’s interference you might as well throw flags every single play.

What?, he was pulling him by his shoulder pads. Did you watch the play

I saw it…barely…it was very weak….great no call to have a game end on a touchy flag.

You barely saw it...but it was a great call

Dude…I meant it was barely DPI. I saw the play.

I have been impressed. Moxie and heart…and smooth. He has a future.

He's the best QB we've had since Cousins for sure. And I think if he continues to improve, he could end up a better QB than Cousins. Definitely more mobile and tougher.

I see pros and cons. That slow release is a problem, but I thought they schemed him a little more time today. Limiting mistakes is key because this D-line can lean on teams.

Dude...stop the below video at 0:02. it wasn't just DPI. It was massively egregious DPI.

Howell needs to improve on getting the ball out sooner on occasions to avoid sacks. However, no one can question his arm talent, mobility, and calm demeaner under fire. He definitely has the potential to be better than Cousins, who is obviously a great QB but who has struggled tamping down turnovers during crunch time, even as a veteran. I think this may be the factor that makes him a more valuable QB than Cousins. But as everyone says, he's only had 3 starts and is a work in progress, so we'll see. But, not bad for your first three pro starts ever...he's got potential.

Left hand grabbing and turning Sutton's shoulder, right hand horse collar

All day today, Denver fans will talk about this supposed DPI. Yet there will be zero talk of the fact that Sutton clearly did not get both feet down on the out route that set up the Hail Mary. Had that play been called correctly, the Hail Mary would have been much more difficult to execute.

This is the problem with fans obsessing on one pay that screws their team and proclaiming, "they definitely should have won." I haven't gone back and looked at every ref call and non-call through the whole game so I don't know if I would say one team got the breaks over the other. But I do know that it wasn't just a matter of "refs took a certain victory away from Denver because of a DPI screwjob at the end." Fans of every team pick out isolated plays and reasons how their teams are screwed every week. Of course Washington fans do this as well.

In the end, it was a hard fought game. Denver looked better early, but Washington really did take control in the second half. I think they deserved to win the game. But for sure it could have gone either way.

ETA: regarding the last play, I thought if anything, it would have been a ticky-tack call to the extreme, which I don't advocate calling in this last second situation. I think it would had to be more aggregious. But fans of both teams are obviously gonna see it differently, but my take was it was very ticky-tack and would have been a matter of refs deciding the game's outcome...but again maybe I'm biased.

Fair enough, but my point was ultimately about the Broncos. I can change it to, "As a longtime Broncos fan, what's even more embarrassing is Sean Payton running his mouth this summer about last year's coaching staff and then opening up by coaching the team to home losses to the Raiders and Commanders (two non-playoff teams from last year)," if that makes you feel better.

Buzz off with your biased homerism accusations. My comment was (and is still) just about the play itself.

CBS rules analyst Gene Steratore saw the game, saw exactly what I saw, and agrees. The referee fraternity doesn't comment on bad referee calls unless they're egregious. We'll leave it at that.

IMO, the contact by the defender significantly impacted the receiver's ability to make a play on the ball - Gene Steratore

 

[Brunell4MVP]

Doesn't matter. Game is over. DEN 0-2. WAS 2-0. Wilson sucks. Howell is the next Fran Tarkenton. Time to unpin this MF'er

Sorry, nothing you or Gene Steratore have said invalidates my comments. There are many calls and non-calls every game that impact the final result. In my opinion, it is not legitimate to say, "we're just take this one call (that I don't like) and ignore all the others. I gave you a specific example of where Sutton was given a catch he should not have got and that significantly impacted the Hail Mary. I don't need to ask Gene Steratore's permission to make that observation. He's not the final arbiter of this disagreement. He also isn't the final word on whether the call was correct or not. Obviously, if you don't like it, that's fine. We can agree to disagree. I'm not going to tell you to "buzz off" because we both have the right to express our opinions here. Thanks in advance for recognizing my right to disagree and debate with you on this.

I'll just be honest with you, I'm probably not going to take the time to do a bunch of web searches to look for different officiating takes on the game. Part of my perspective is not just fixating on that one play, but looking at other calls and no calls that happened earlier. I am just sharing my perspective on football generally...and how fans look at the calls after the fact. If my not posting a bunch of links here allows you to come back and "declare victory," have at it. I don't care. Beyond that, I get it dude. You seem to be really, really upset about the game. I get it. When a call goes against my team I complain as well. So, I totally get it. I'd be just as pissed. Anyway, good luck the rest of the season.

 

[Courtjester]

The bottom line is Denver should have never put themselves in a position to "need" that 2-point conversion. Significant changes need to happen with the defense or this team is going to be 0-5 before you know.

Vance Joseph was before and continues to be a mistake for the Broncos. Sure he loves to blitz and be aggressive, but there needs to be some rhyme or reason to it. Listening to some of the local media this morning, they were questioning his substitutions and why on 3rd down, some of the team's best pass rushers were on the sidelines on key third downs. I get they need to be fresh, but you need your play makers on the field when it counts. The team had a good first quarter and a half, then Washington adjusted, which means he has to be able to adjust to their adjustments, which is something he isn't doing.

In addition, Mathis has to be benched. I don't care if they sign a guy off the street, anyone is better than him. I can only imagine the stat line Waddle and Hill are going to put up next week if he is put out there. I am assuming Denver will be without Jackson next week as well. I usually don't like to root for my fantasy players when they are up against Denver, but I will starting Tua with confidence next week.

I don't need to ask Gene Steratore's permission to make that observation. He's not the final arbiter of this disagreement. He also isn't the final word on whether the call was correct or not. Obviously, if you don't like it, that's fine. We can agree to disagree. I'm not going to tell you to "buzz off" because we both have the right to express our opinions here. Thanks in advance for recognizing my right to disagree and debate with you on this.

You're wrong about the Sutton catch too

Kareen Jackson will not be suspended for his hit on Logan Thomas. Seems kinda lame to me. He was an offender the week prior against Vegas. To me that is the justification for suspension. 2 weeks in a row leading with the helmet. Two weeks in a row concussing the player he hit. Might as well go for the trifecta this week.

Update: Broncos DB Kareem Jackson’s dirty hit on Logan Thomas won’t lead to a suspension

Suspend him
