Bro looks nice out there.

(Forgot to post the past couple days lol) while the offense may have been struggling, the defense has not! (I’m 2-0 at Broncos games!)

Hi Bronco family!

What is the best bronco fan bar in the Denver area, or elsewhere..

I love hanging with friendly bronco fans especially during games.. Some of us cant afford to go to the game..

Thanks

Bo Nix has not played well to say the least. But thought it was worth adding perspective on just how bad other QBs have played against our common opponents.

Notably:

- Played better than Darnold and Stafford against the 49ers

- Played significantly better than Drake Maye against the Seahawks and Jags

- Isn't ranked dead last against any of these opponents.

Our first 6 games have been a gauntlet. We've played 5 Playoff Caliber Teams (Chiefs, 49ers, Rams, Seahawks, Jags) that will more than likely compete for the Super Bowl. We also did so with no byes, and 2 short weeks (MNF/TNF). All of the teams we've played have been highly rated defenses based on ESPN's FPI (Which takes relative performance and the fact that our offense is bad into account). Look at our schedule release thread and the number of people claiming that 3-3 would be a success: https://www.reddit.com/r/DenverBroncos/comments/1tdfa8h/2026_schedule/

Also worth noting that Bo started really slow last year as well, against juggernauts like the Jets, Titans, Bengals etc.

Yes, Bo needs to step it up and he'll get the opportunity to do so against arguably the worst defense in the NFL on a mini-bye. If he still sucks there, then maybe start ringing the alarm bells. But for now, just chill and enjoy the victory!

Some commenters were talking about the Broncos only gaining ~40 yards total on their last 9 drives. Others waived that away by saying Seattle's defense is 'elite' as if this excuses it.

Seahawks defense has been legitimately elite this year, but the Broncos’ performance against them still stands out as uniquely bad.

Looking at drive charts from PFR for every team Seattle has faced, I summed the worst 9 drives by each opponent (net yards). Here’s where the Broncos rank: Opponent Worst 9 drives sum Broncos ~30 49ers 85 Chargers ~90–110 Commanders 122 Cardinals 167 Patriots 300+

No other team even got close. The 49ers (next-worst) still more than doubled the Broncos’ total. Seattle’s defense is good — it’s not “hold everyone to 30 yards on their worst 9 drives” good.

Denver’s offense has real problems right now, and the Seahawks game is Exhibit A, not just “they played a good defense.”

Thats’s all. He is putting the offense on his back right now and people are quick to throw him under the bus when things are going wrong. 2nd string secondary across the board last night and they held their own.

The show is JCW Lunacy Episode 103. Love when my 2 favorite things cross over.

I feel like this is getting missed.

Drake Maye (last years MVP runner up) - 178 yards, 1 TD, 3 INTs

Jacoby Brissett - 97 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

Marcus Mariota - 183, 3 TDs

Justin Herbert - 189 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

Brock Purdy, the September MVP - 189 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT

Bo Nix - 107 yards, 0 TDs, 0 INTs

Now, am I saying he played well? Absolutely not. He’s clearly skittish and doesn’t trust his ankle, which is causing him to play extremely safe. But Yall are all out here crying that the sky is falling, but it’s not Bo’s fault that Sean Payton gets wildly conservative as soon as he gets a lead or Dobbins averaged 2.4 a carry on 17 attempts. Is it possible that the team just knew they were playing the #1 passing defense in the league that had forced 6 interceptions in 5 games?

Please feel free to roast me in the comments
