Denver Broncos Just Got Silver Lining to Brutal Loss...

Oh my goodness, you cannot even make this up the Denver Broncos just lost the most devastating overtime game to Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals that I can remember even more devastating than losing to Justin Herbert when we were Dominating that whole first half and had our playoffs in our future even more devastating and having a 30-yard field goal blocks There still is so much hope and we got to get to the hope first And then we're gonna break down this game quick wellness check to all y'all in Broncos country. How you feeling after that game? I got two kids on the other side of that door. Just wailing crying right now. That was rough I'm not gonna sugarcoat it but truly We are way ahead of our development timeline and the path of the playoffs is still wide wide open I think this game showed us that This team is good and and this team went toe-to-toe at Joe Burrow and had some questionable decision-making there We'll break it all down and more in this video If you're new to the channel Diehard Denver Broncos fan who's sick to a stomach named Ben and helps me out a ton and the YouTube algorithm out if you would like and subscribe so the the good news here is that We need the Dolphins the Colts and the Bengals all the lose one more game and then we're in no matter what happens next week And two of those teams both have benched their starting quarterbacks whether it was because of injury or some weird stuff So really weird stuff happening with Anthony Richardson and the Colts and they are now putting Joe Flacco in Joe Flacco has broken our hearts before it don't need to remind you all of the the Hail Mary when he was a with Baltimore a while ago, but Anthony Richardson is out Which means the Colts are gonna have a much harder time winning their game and then on the other side It was already gonna be a tough game We know how bad the brown the Dolphins are when they play in the cold And now they're gonna be playing without their starting quarterback to a tag tag via Lola And so I think you're looking at two of the teams. We need to lose both are playing without their starting quarterback So that that's fantastic. And then even just looking at this Bengals team they're gonna be without they're running back and playing against the Pittsburgh Steelers team that is gonna have 11 days of rest and are reeling and Desperately need that win and still think they could win the division against the Baltimore Ravens if the Ravens lose So I think there's a real world where the Broncos can make the playoffs even with with just those three things happening and I think when you're without you're starting quarterback for two of those teams and then you're Playing on a long week with Pittsburgh. I think all those teams may not even be favored to to win a game So that's that's the good news Getting into this and then the positive is is also that we heard at the end of that Christmas Day game that the Chiefs are Probably going to be resting at least Pat Mahomes at least Kelsey probably some defenders as well And so we'll be playing against Chiefs backups. We saw what happened the last time the Denver Broncos Rebounded after a devastating loss that blocked field goal we go and rattle off four straight And so this is where we're gonna really see what this team is made of How do they respond can they go and beat a bunch of backups next week? And even if if they are full strength, are they gonna respond like hey We were toe-to-toe with the Chiefs the last time we played them and now our back is against the wall We got a win. Are they gonna do it? So let's dive into to this game Does not get more tough to stomach than that that loss sire, Bettinger predominantly orange and lockdown Broncos said it perfectly here that That game was it's hard to even reflect on that game because there was so much in that game like you're You had the highs of like that Bo Nix drive with a minute 30 left and one timeout the Denver Broncos go down and Bo Nix proved that he's a franchise quarterback like that was wild I had multiple people out of state texting me like hey At least you have your franchise quarterback like when it was a minute and 20 seconds left I don't know a ton of Broncos quarterbacks who would have brought us back and scored a touchdown in that position amazing We see that deep bomb to Marvin Mims was the the longest error throw in the entire season in the NFL So so much for Bo Nix being a check down King because he showed that he has the arm strength there to do that So that was phenomenal. But if you take a look at what really hurt us this game I think our our punting unit as a whole I don't know if we were afraid of the run back or or what there was if it was the wrong cleats because we were prepping for rain or what it was but that was the Worst game we've seen out of Riley Moss as far as his ability to get any depth on any of his kicks We saw a lot of 40 yard kicks 43 yard kicks and like that just didn't do it You gave Joe Burrow way too short of a field It felt like he always was in plus position and it felt like conversely Bo Nix always was on the wrong side of the 20-yard line and that that was tough to stomach there to see that This game totally was this here that we like got our hopes up got let down Started to believe again got our hopes up got let down and it I mean that game There was a point when you're like, oh my goodness he missed the field goal all we have to do is like run some clock here and then every Broncos will make it to the playoffs on a tie game and Yeah, yeah, that was absolutely tough to stomach there A lot of people out there saying this this loss is on coach Sean Payton and on on coach Vance Joseph I definitely see that I see times where there was you know Why don't we go for two to win the game? But then you saw we had some chances in overtime there to win it and so maybe that wasn't a horrible call What do you think Sean Payton was right to? Kick the field goal there to go it into overtime or did you think we should have gone for two there at the time? I told my wife like man, we have all the momentum Bo Nix wanted to go for two Let's punch this in here. We seem to run the ball at will So do you I mean it felt like man we had to have a nice to play You know one of those two-point conversion plays in our back pocket To do that you look on the other side of the ball I think the worst news is just seeing that Riley Moss did not look like the Riley Moss He did during those first 12 weeks of the season and he was getting Absolutely shredded by whoever he was lined up on and I just don't think he's right physically And then the most concerning thing is probably towards the end of that game You saw Pat Sartain walking with a limp. And so I'm definitely gonna be checking out what happens there Well, we'll cover all of that in in the week to come because we are now our back is up against the wall We're gonna see what what this team does with its back up against the wall here Absolutely gut-wrenching I'm still kind of real in here because you do now you've opened the door now for the Dolphins the Colts and the Bengals all to Feel wide awake and alive and now moving into next week They all have something to play for and the Broncos could really just be like, hey guys sorry, we got you all your hopes up because this team dug deep and Responded like we did after the Kansas City Chiefs blocked field goal and we rattled off four straight You know, I do think like we saw flashes there out of Bo Nix that made you feel extremely excited about the future Like what can this team be when it adds a tight end? Like we just were shredded by tight ends tonight and Bo Nix doesn't have an adequate tight end to throw the ball to so that's a Definitely a position we want to add to this offseason But man, we are to tell it like we went to overtime and we could have won We should have won we could have tied we should have tied Even though we are eating the biggest part of Russ's dead cap, even though we have a rookie quarterback Like that's the other part of this This is the worst Bo Nix will ever look and still we are toe-to-toe With a player who a lot of people are saying should should be getting MVP votes that if if the Bengals are to make the Playoffs which would be gut-wrenching for us. There's a chance that that Joe Burrow could get MVP consideration Obviously like he's been playing out of his mind and Bo Nix went toe-to-toe with him and it went till the last minute of overtime And he beat our rookie quarterback, but you know that Bo Nix is just gonna keep getting better and better Sean Payton is gonna keep adding pieces to this team that are in his image and that he wants like this is You're too for Sean Payton and already has this this team on the verge of the playoffs So it's it's absolutely like I will probably go into the bathroom and throw up five times yet I'm also hopeful because this is the worst Bo Nix will be and we are you know, we're on the right trajectory here We're gonna have more cap space next year. We're we're in in good place there. You also could just you know looking at What why this could be on Vance Joseph like man? It seemed like that anytime we went to zone that wasn't getting it done. You see we we sacked burrow What six times that was fantastic like you see our front up there is great and and that's exciting I think other cool thing to think about was just like in the first half there one of the really encouraging things was that every single yard that we gained in the first quarter of that was and that was a Great drive to start the first quarter off all was a first or second year rookie all brought in by Sean Payton So what's gonna happen when he does that in year two and year three? We're on the verge of the of the class I think if you are the Buffalo Bills and you're watching the heart that the Broncos had to go on the road in a Hostile place like that place was out of control Lit and excited for their bangles and we hung toe-to-toe with them. So let me know how you're all feeling in this Do you think the Broncos are gonna make the playoffs? Do you feel like this if we beat the back if we beat the backup Chiefs next week? Does do you feel like we've backed our way into the playoffs or we've limped in or we've crawled in or do you think like? We should walk in with our heads held high the way we played tonight Going into overtime against this really good Cincinnati Bengals team I think we walk in with our head heads held high, but I want to hear what all y'all think in there Yeah, man a lot lot to think about sorry, this is a the way we start our new year But we still have a ton to bow lead them. Of course. I miss it
