Yeah, Denver is only about 300 miles west of the east/west center of the continental U.S.

Best DT we've ever had. Probably the best DT in the NFL right now.

Take away Bryce's two 4th and short passes and the screen to Chuba and what are you left with on fhe passing game? See how it goes when you selectively eliminate the three best plays? We caught lightning in a bottle yesterday on both sides of the ball. The D was overall not good but had three great plays forcing turnovers taking one back for a TD. The offensive passing game overall was not good but had three big plays resulting in TDs.

We completed two passes over 10 yards all game, both against goalline defensive sets on 4th and short. Bryce made very good throws on both but most of the rest of his completions were right around the LOS. This is what your passing chart has to look like the beat good teams with Bryce at QB: You missed my point about "Run the ball and hope you can force turnovers" being our recipe for success. Of course that's a recipe for success for anyone. It's just that with us it's really our only recipe for success.

Going back to this, this is just such a wacky year of football both at the NFL level and college. Duke in the conference championship game? Vandy legitimately in the playoff conversation? I mean... just insanity. In the NFL, you have the 10-2 Broncos winning 9 games in a row and probably should've lost half of them. The Pats with a crazy turnaround weak schedule or not, they've beat most of the good teams on their schedule. That Panthers over .500. The Bears in the lead in the NFC on the back of an insane +17 turnover differential. It's just a really, REALLY weird year of football.

Yeah, we feel like a bad version of last year's Chiefs. We're winning a ton of close games catching a lot of breaks. That type of winning usually isn't sustainable. It would be fun if it wasn't for the nerve wracking concern of Tepper doing something stupid like signing Bryce long-term.

Yeah, it's been clear for a few weeks now that a wildcard team coming out of the NFCS is highly unlikely.

That lights out D gave up over 400 yards tonight to a three win team playing their backup QB.

Broncos hang on with a batted down pass. Not understanding how anyone thinks the Pats are a sketchier team than the Broncos. They got taken to the absolute limits by a 3-8 team playing their backup QB and having trailed in every game during their 9 game winning streak. That's not sustainable.

The downside of going for two here is you're down to your 5th goalline play after having to go through four of them to get into he endzone.

They score on 4th. And they're going for two.

Oof. You gotta catch that.

Deebo gets Washington to the 1 the very next play. I've made up my mind. I'm 3-8. Fug it, I'm going for 2 if I can get in the endzone.

Holy poo, holding brings back a 30 yard Washington TD. Wild. Huge calls being made but they're correct calls.

Getting ahead here but do you just go for two here if you're the Commanders and you can get in the endzone? I mean, the Broncos scored EASY.
