Bull's Thoughts, Opinions & Analysis on Denver BRONCOS' Historic Win New York Giants
I don't feel like I have a grip on what I witnessed that day when I saw the dumbest achievement I've seen in all my years of watching NFL football.
Broncos vs Giants: The No Bull Review
No bull thoughts, opinions and analysis on the Broncos' historic upset over the New York Giants
Keeping it real, I have to admit that I brought the Broncos in the fourth quarter.
I don't know, maybe I've been traveling in the desert for years and forgot the mileage trick.We shake the time review I will go 4 30 fourth to enjoy its magnetism and we all often find it bad.
Once I'm done, I'll put my polka dot hat back and take a closer look at the game review.
If you are someone who just wants to hear hype, then please just read this first episode.When we get to the review, it may not be like most.You have been warned.
Mile High Magic
I grew up writing, watching the career of Demaryius Thomas.I've always loved him as an actor because he seems like such a kind-hearted guy.At the weekend he got a well-deserved place in the ring of fame.I think in a way he was both smiling at the game and having a bit of fun with us.
Because comebacks like this are not possible.
I have chosen ten years of football, with one of the best players of the game in Johngan, in his prime.
I heard about Peyton Manning Epince about it, but right before he was wearing the right color cheese, I didn't come out.
I'm on the verge of a magical season with a jacket in jadarback and the amazing team he brought during his unreserved victory.
A return like this is not possible.
Let's start by giving some serious love to Justin Strnad for his interception.I had the same note about that game as almost everyone involved in the game: it was the key to the game.To me it looked like he read the play.He knew what the route was and where.Good for him and the team for doing their homework.
Also, a lot of love for Bo Nix, who just hit a pass and turned in a spirit breaker in the 4th quarter.He put up 4 TDS (2 in the ground) and will haunt the imagination of his huge fans for years to come.His takedown in the 4th quarter was musical.
No matter how much Sean Payton tries to force the ball to Troy Franklin, all Marvin Mims Jr. He is the unsung hero of this story, makes so many critical plays late in the game.He caught three big passes downfield with defenders next to him in the 4th quarter.
Talking about unknown heroes, to give credit to the work of Tyler Badie, will ultimately cover all the best games.For a third-string back, he will show his worth when the team needs to be honest and reliable as a receiver in NIX and this offense.He also got his work back in the 4th quarter.
I hate to throw shade at the opponent, but I also take my hat off to Shane Bowen for taking a leaf out of Dick LeBeau's playoff strategy playbook in 2011 and doing the stupidest thing possible at a key moment in the game.For some reason, Bowen thought putting his team in the end zone was a good idea, considering the Broncos needed chunks of yardage to score the game-winning field goal.When you have a quarterback like Bo Nix, you need guys to confuse him, not guys to punch holes in your defense.
Finally, I think Wil Lutz is one of the most popular players in Denver right now.I don't think this fan base can afford to miss a field goal and Lutz made it look easy (take notes, McAtamney).
This entire team showed courage, determination and complete faith.They never give up.They never stop appearing on the field.This Denver Broncos team is an opponent that has no one to play with.
Let's go, hell Broncos!5-2 and on top of the afc west!
I was very relieved to hear Sean Payton say at the press conference,
"... it's important that we don't overshadow the euphoria of so much victory tomorrow on the things that need to be cleaned up. So they will enjoy it tonight, but we still have a lot of things to do, especially a lot of things that are bothering me and will fix it."
He is 100% on the field.This offense really needs to start working on cleaning up its play execution issues.Drops, penalties and errant throws have all been consistent in the Broncos offense this season.
The one thing that really needs to be addressed in my opinion, however, is Sean Payton's game-profession.I wonder truly whether it is even aware of this problem, because of his hybris.
Sean Payton was so predictable early in the game that the Giants consistently outnumbered the Broncos' calls in the third quarter of the game. Flashy throws, screens all over the place and deep passes on third down.
Of course he gets credit for the offensive design.Every game they play is because of him.The play call in the 4th quarter goes when they are down.That's not what they did earlier in the game.Maybe, just maybe, he should try to call some of these plays early in the game to shake things up a bit and get this offense going.
I will say that a lot of credit has to be given to New York's dirty front.There are absolute weapons in the trenches, especially with the task below.
On the plus side, Bo Nix is a clutch gene.We in Broncos country know it when we see it.Craig Morton, John Elway and Peyton Manning are also people who had it.When the chips are down and the team has a few games to play, the Knicks take their game up a notch or three.
Riding 2 TEARDWOW's, passing 2 tencelfowns, and dropping the affected field in Season 4 was a sight to behold.
Now let's talk about the other 3 quarters.
The Knicks desperately need to hear that his inaccuracies are costing this team money.A lot of his plays at ¾ are drive killers because he can't get the ball to receivers.Needs to work on consistent throws from his platform and how to use passes properly.He had a touch on Garrett Bowles, who was wide open in the end zone in what I would consider a pass, and overthrew him.
Decision making is also required.Twice on third down in this game, he fell in love with the deep pass when he had targets within 5-10 yards to throw to.This could be a problem with play calling.If that's the case, he needs to give Payton feedback that he wants to play with better percentage options.
There is also something being taught when the pump comes out.Part of that is that he plays the most of the defenders, but he needs to see if he can make small adjustments and get a few good problems.
I love this guy who plays quarterback for this team.Let's just not forget that he is a young player who is still developing.He wouldn't aim to play like Tim Tebow (for crying out loud, you're better than that).
You know what didn't give us trouble this week?
Left Guard Position
Big love for Alex Palczewski who keeps him at left guard.I won't pretend I looked at every shot he took, but I definitely didn't notice it, unlike Matt Peart's effort last week.
Up until that point, the lines in this game are incredible. Yes, the Giants created offensive hell. Burns was sacked 2 times. I'd call this a pretty solid win in pass blocking.
They are also very popular in the run blocking game.The team averaged 5.9 yards per carry.
J.K.Dobbins finally started to wake up in the 2nd half, breaking through the defense for 32 yards on a huge run.He finished the day with 81 yards on 14 attempts.
One of the biggest changes for the Broncos was cutting running backs like RJ Tipp.Many of their early drives were problematic as they were unable to gain any yards.This is only the second game in a single passage where he's gone 4-and-out (last week's 4 yards) (2 runs for 4 yards).
This week, I can't say enough about Marvin Mims, Jr.'s game.He is our #3 WR on the depth chart and absolutely tore it up in this game with 6 catches for 85 yards, including a back shoulder catch for 31 yards to put the team in field goal range.He was absolute studs and showed the same kind of clutch ability that the Knicks had late in the game.I honestly had him second on the roster.Would recommend moving up as his game is showing more consistency than Franklin right now.
Cortland Sutton led the team with 6 receptions for 87 yards and a touchdown in the 4th quarter.He had a 4th and 2 stop early in the game, which was honestly a bad call in my mind.Sutton is not what you would call a fast player.
Evan GRARZED IN 52 QUSAZE.SESTERS of catches in the 1st under at the end of drives.External block.It was an external block.The fire was .er the outer block .It was the outer block .er the outer block .They were the outer block .er it was the outer football.
Franklin needs to regain some strength.He throws a big game because he can't hang on when he hits.His play was extremely inconsistent, catching just 3 targets for 19 yards.That's a lot of goals for very little production.He had his head lined up on a pass straight into the end zone to help Bronello score in the 4th quarter.we get to the point where we can't force it.There are games to win in a nearby region.
This week was not the week of the defense. Allowing 32 points at home against a team with 2 wins and 4 losses is not what a defense wants.
I honestly felt like this team took the road a few days ago when we couldn't cover the tight end to save our lives.Johnson and Bellinger both had receptions of over 40 yards.He got both touchdowns.
There's a lot that Vance Joseph needs to do with his unit for cleanup duty.Security's understanding of who to monitor and where to maintain influence will be critical, as we lost two points on the day.
Maybe two colliding players are discussed to discuss that both pass the ball.
Justin Strnado won the Golden Ball this week.We've talked about his great play in midfield, but that's not all he did in this game.
Allen Hafoc wrecked today.It had 2 touch bass and some very impressive passes over the middle.He got half sack on the last Giants drive and also had 2 Quarterback hits on the day.
Jonathan Cooper made such a disciplined rush off the edge to get the sack, making sure Dart couldn't get away from it.He got constant pressure on the rim throughout the game and helped keep the Giants' rushing attack in check.
Dreata Tomman's place takes a bright bag on darts, which he admired.He had a party that day and the quarterback also got hit.
Alex Treyton looked completely out of reach in the skateboo tousdown.We need an interior room that can create the center and not let it play like it goes into the red zone.But hey, he jumped on 8 downs in the game and helped get a lot of play calls.¯ \ _ (ツ) _ / ¯
Brandon Jones quietly had a pretty good game for the Broncos.He saved the Giants' 2-point conversion attempt.He was about to intercept a deep pass late in the game (and should have made an interception).
Talanoa Hufunga played brilliantly.He missed a deep route with a tight end to give up a touchdown.He has excellent pass protection in the middle to bat the ball away on a crossing route.On the 3rd touchdown for the Giants, Hufunga chased Gahhost behind the line of scrimmage instead of attacking the ball carrier.Scramble to stop the play.
Jahdae Barron has been pegged in one way or another to play a big role in man coverage.Let's hope his coach lets him know the same.Keep playing it, Barron.You killed it at that game.
Sure, let's love Wil Lutz.In our game, we mostly take our kickers for granted.This game reminded us why we need to appreciate the good.Lutz made every kick he took (4 extra points, 1 field goal), including the game-winning points as time expired.
Shout out to Tyler Bodie who returned 4 kickoffs for an average of 24 yards.Having multiple players who can get tough return yards is a blessing, especially with the new kickoff rule
Did the Broncos play a good 4 quarters and at some point have a better game?That game seems far away at this point.
But I won't complain too much.The team is 5-2 in the AFC West.I really like the look of this young team.There is work to be done in all three aspects of the game, but there is a ton of work to be done this season.
Fortunately, this team has shown us that they will bring it every week until the last second.There is no quitting in this team.That's something all of us in Broncos country can be proud of.
