1. The Denver Broncos have been hilariously bad all season. They’re 2-6, have lost 4 games by a single score, and somehow weren’t really in some of those games.
2. New coach Vic Fangio is a walking aneurysm. The man finally gets to be a head coach after decades of assistant coaching and this is his reward. He’s one more bad game away from being the guy in Scanners. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnp1jfLhtck
3. The QB situation is a mess. Joe Flacco hasn’t worked out. Well I’m sure he worked out and lifted weights at some point, but Flacco has not been the success that people hoped for.
4. The O-line is a mess. Flacco has been sacked 26 times in 8 games, which isn’t surprising as to why Flacco’s body is banged up.
5. The New QB situation is a mess. Brandon Allen will get the starting job now that Flacco is out 4-6 weeks, but the backup situation is a disaster. Rookie Drew Lock appears to be the Bronco QB of the future, but the Broncos are unsure as to whether or not they’ll let him backup Allen this weekend. Lock’s thumb was injured, but he claims it’s healthy, the team does not. Excellent situation.
6. The backup. Brett Rypien, both former and current Bronco, is likely to get the backup spot. Rypien, an undrafted free agent, has never taken a snap in an NFL game.
7. This weekend. Brandon Allen hasn’t taken a snap in an NFL game either so both the starter and backup will be flying blind out there behind one of the league’s worst offensive lines.
8. Be sure to watch Cleveland @ Denver this weekend because the Broncos are likely to put on a classic QB Watch display.
