Still gave up too many big plays, and Lucas is a hole in the secondary

I know it was late in the game but Wesley subs in and nearly has 2 picks in 2 plays on that side.... made me go hmmmm.

late in the game being the key words.

a pick against a desperate team trying to make desperate plays late in the game is bound to happen, no matter who is covering who.

lucas had a bad game people.

get over it.

lucas hasn't looked very good starting around the arizona game I think, he hasn't looked nearly as good as he used too, he used to be top 5 now he is below average

he needs to step it up soon or he will get picked on for the rest of the season, hopefully he can turn things around

one thing I'm worried about is godfrey blowing his assigments, it's happening alot even for a rookie

Lucas is not starting material...bottom line. He was lost, confused, sluggish, slow, and bit on too many routes. The scary part is...Marshall has been burnt a lot the past 3 weeks as well, so our next option is not that great. Is Godfrey the problem? Lucas is always yelling at him after a big play as if Godfrey was supposed to give over the top help. I was watching ESPN do a film review of a game a couple of weeks ago and it did show Godfrey biting too easily on underneath routes that Beason could take care of.

backfield will be better in upcoming weeks. the front 7 really turned it up and looked incredibly impressive. i have little doubt that we will see a big improvement in the pass D leading into the playoffs. good to see wesley pitching in and playing well. we have solid depth at DB. surprise!

i'm not very worried about lucas and marshall from last night. it will get better. game fi, will show all weaknesses and this is not the team of old who was hesitant to make changes and rock the boat. this is a team that wants to win and will do what it takes to make that happen.

Good point Fiz about us being a team to make changes when needed. That has been a big difference from years past. Fox has given up on being loyal to those he likes as opposed to those who deserve to be on the field. Lets hope it gets straitened out. Denver has one heck of a passing game!

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
