Broncos Beat Seahawks Despite Dismal Quarterback Play

Well, I'll tell you, if you wanted to see bad quarterback play last night, Thursday Night Football was your ticket. Seattle and Denver, man, this thing was bad football at the quarterback position. And make no mistake about it, these teams needed this game to move forward to find out who you are. Now, again, I was just told by my producer, Chris, he just said, listen, Seattle still has the same odds to win the Super Bowl as it is to win the NFC West. That shows you how tough the NFC West is with all those packed teams. But last night, man, Mike McDonald, he knows. Dude, no question about it. You got to give credit. But, dude, they got to turn this thing around. Got to give credit to the Broncos. They played a really good game in all three phases. Told the team, we have conflicting emotions. There's no moral victories in the league. You know, it's a bottom line business, production business. But I am proud of our effort. I'm proud of the resolve of the team. I'm proud of our kind of connectedness of our team. However, there's things that we need to get better at quickly, and we know those things. They're within our control, and that's what we do. We find solutions, and we get things figured out. We move forward, and we evolve, and the best teams in this league, they do that. And that's what we want to be. We want to be one of the best teams in the league, as we know, and we believe we can be. So that's where our focus is going to be over the next few days, And then we'll be back at it with the players on Monday. But we've got some work ahead of us, and we'll figure it out. We've got the right people in the building. We've got the right people to do the job. We've got to go to work. So that's where our focus will go. Okay. I just want to thank you, Coach. Appreciate it there. Effort. There's no lane when it comes to one loss. Effort lanes when it comes to the NFL. You make $500,000 a week. You think I need Newt Rockne to sit there in a locker room and thank me for effort? You got to go out and play football, dude. 60 minutes. Let's go. You can't sit around there and have a coach talking about effort. You got to execute, dude. You're 3-3 on the season right now. Need a Newt Rockne speech. And then you get Sam Darnold. I mean, dude, the lost woodsman here. When you look at him and the way he's talking right now, you want to know how you throw picks? This guy's got the market on throwing picks. Yeah, no way to sugarcoat it. That one sucked. You know, can't turn the ball over. you know it's obviously you know the at the forefront of my mind um but there's just a lot you know a lot we can do better um you know obviously we're we're driving we're running the ball and you know we're dropping back and having some things working the drop back game some of the play action stuff is a little iffy tonight but yeah we just got to be better all around and um it starts with me so we just got to you know look at who we are as an offense um look at kind things that we do well things that we don't do well and go from there hey uh sam you know what close only counts in horseshoes and grenades dude you can't be throwing picks at the end of ball games like that i mean you got a championship style football team you got to win yourself some games here my friend let's get on the other side here Sean Payton, you want to see Sean Payton throw his team under a bus and tell everybody what a great coaching effort it's been so far at the beginning of the season this is a coach breaking his arm off patting his coaching staff on the back and most notably Sean Payton as a coach that's never satisfied what gives you the most reason to smile four and two after six um the record i mean meaning i say that the record because coach those wins are hard to get and and so come on coach really i i we just wow we're really a great team and and i feel like we can we can make i mean i feel like we can continue to improve so but being at four and two right at this this little three-day stretch and get ready next week it's okay to pat yourself on the back you're showing faith and again i'm i'm a little bit of a realist to know that four and two could easily be two and four yeah okay coach thanks a lot there for breaking your arm off patting yourself on the back there by the way you want to see the worst quarterback in pro football on one of the best teams in pro football here's your here's your dude i thought i saw the field um really well especially you know early when we were given opportunities to sort of be aggressive and then um you know as the game went on it you know felt like a little bit like um you know just third downs were the key um and then you know every once in a while um you know we had an opportunity to throw it deep again and then they We were in a, you know, soft cover two shell, covering it deep, and we had outlets for, you know, a 10-yard to space. And so it was just, you know, I don't understand why, you know, we can't really push the ball vertically right now, but defenses are just, you know. You don't understand why? It's because you suck. We're going to keep running the football. We just hopefully are going to find ways to get more out of it. Self-reflection. Look in the mirror. You suck, okay? I mean, why can't I throw the ball deep down the field? Well, you suck. 107 yards. Who's this guy playing for, Army? That's like an Army quarterback. Oh, that's right. He can't run.
