Broncos messy in ugly loss to Ravens Usually the first loss of the season doesn’t sting this much.Sunday’s Broncos game against the Ravens wasn’t much fun to watch. The defensive secondary is lost. The pass rush isn’t getting there. Injuries aside Courtland Sutton Jersey White , there isn’t the level of enjoyment within the defense that has existed in past seasons. Joe Woods needs to make playing on that side of the ball fun again. Right now it’s work and it’s painful to watch. Case was the Keenum they gave us.Three weeks in, I’m starting to wonder just what the plan with Case Keenum is. It feels like play-calling has been unchanged from Osweiler, to Trevor, to Paxton, and now Case. The checkdown continues to reign supreme in the Mile High City and there is clear reluctance to put air into the ball. If the Broncos don’t start to stretch the field when they don’t absolutely need to, defenses are going to squat on underneath routes and crush momentum just like Baltimore did to Denver on Sunday. The failures of the offense aren’t on the players entirely. Once again, I’m harping on Vance Joseph’s ability to hold players accountable for their play. Does Joseph look at the box score? Emmanuel Sanders, a wide receiver, is listed above Denver’s veteran running back. That’s fine, it happens and all credit to Sanders that he’s due. However, how does the running back who was ejected in the second quarter still have a better day than the Broncos lone veteran running back? The Broncos can’t keep wasting snaps on someone who just isn’t going to get it. It hurts my brain trying to understand why opportunities continue to be wasted on this guy. What more do you need to see?The Broncos can either learn from their mistakes or continue to run the game plans and players that doomed the 2017 season. It’s time for Denver to take stock of what they want out of this season. They can keep doing what isn’t working or they can innovate. With Kansas City coming to town, it’s in the Broncos best interest to open their eyes. Otherwise, it’ll be lights-out on 2018.

Among questions about the bye week, and dealing with offensive line injuries, Logan asked Elway what his expectations were for the last seven games of the season as Denver sits at 3-6 coming out of the bye.“Every time I go into a season and look at the schedule I think that we can win every football game, so that hasn’t changed”, Elway said. “There’s been enough good things to think that if we can put it all together Womens Bradley Chubb Jersey , and have some consistency with it, and take care of the little things that we have a chance to beat anybody.”Elway has a point as Denver has played three games against two of the best teams in the league and lost by 4, 3, and 7 points respectively. Denver also sits at a curious -8 in point differential which is certainly better than all the other 3-6 teams this year, but also better than some 4-5, and 5-4 teams, so it seems there is something to the comments that Denver is better than their record indicates.However, as Vance Joseph has reiterated several times, there are no moral victories in the NFL, and you can claim to be the best 3-6 team in the league all day, but you actually have to win a game at some point. Elway understands that and spoke to the fact that they need to take this one game at a time.They’ll have another big challenge on Sunday, as I believe this upcoming game is the most difficult one left on the schedule. If Denver can come away from Los Angeles with a win against a red hot Chargers team, I think Elway’s point has even more weight. Take a look at the rest of Denver’s schedule:11 Nov 18 DEN @ LAC12 Nov 25 PIT @ DEN13 Dec 02 DEN @ CIN14 Dec 09 DEN @ SF15 Dec 15 CLE @ DEN16 Dec 24 DEN @ OAK17 Dec 30 LAC @ DEN While the case could easily be made for Denver losing out the rest of the way, I think Denver could challenge and beat each of these teams above given the right circumstances.The Broncos have to come out swinging on Sunday to have a chance.
