But I am sure it was not his fault

There was definitely some miscommunication there between Teddy making the call and executing the play,” the Broncos head coach said. “Teddy gets under center a lot before he moves back to the gun. And then when it became obvious that he wasn’t going to do that, you know, it was kind of too late for me to run down there and call the timeout. That’s what happened.”

So the veteran quarterback ran the wrong play. He was under center when he was supposed to be in shotgun. And no one thought to call a timeout.

Not the head coach. Not the offensive coordinator. Not a player on the field. No one.

It’s almost difficult to believe that this could happen on an NFL team. On the 20th play of a drive, facing a fourth down that would likely make or break the night, the Broncos couldn’t execute correctly. And no one was paying attention close enough to prevent it from happening.

Shame on Teddy Bridgewater for not running the play correctly. Shame on Pat Shurmur for not getting the call in correctly. Shame on Vic Fangio for not being alert enough to call a timeout. And shame on the 11 players on the field for not recognizing the confusion.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
