What happened in the waning moments of the fourth quarter, with the Broncos clinging to a 9-6 lead, was such a display of incompetence to be considered a fireable offense. Against Indianapolis, Wilson completed 21 of 39 passes for 274 yards, but his misses were horrendous, including two interceptions that reduced his QB rating to 54.9, a failing grade we thought had left town with Drew Lock. He has turned the Walton’s $245 million investment in Wilson into a quarterback who appears to lack trust in both the voices in his helmet and teammates in the offensive huddle. When Hackett designs a game plan where is the nuance or creativity? Too often it appears the only plan if Wilson doesn’t chuck the ball deep is 1-2-3 kick. The biggest impediment to Denver victory is its coach.
“We wanted to win the game,” Hackett said. Overthinking, Hackett gave a declaration of no confidence in his offensive line and shot himself in the foot. When a QB sneak was in order, the Broncos came out in shotgun. The loss ended in inexplicable fashion, with Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson throwing an incomplete pass on a slow-developing route by Courtland Sutton in the end zone on 4th-and-1 from the five-yard line. Otherwise, this offense is nearly unwatchable inside the 20-yard line. Somebody needs to invent a drinking game for the rare times when the Broncos stumble into the red zone. But that’s chump change to the crazy-rich Waltons and this new ownership group. Yes, the price tag for Payton might be steep. He helped make Drew Brees the quarterback Russell Wilson wants to be during the second half of his career. At age 58, he owns a Super Bowl ring and has won 161 regular season and playoff games in the NFL. Well, I don’t need further video review to know Rob Walton and his family didn’t pay a record $4.65 billion for the Broncos to be embarrassed in prime time by a coach who chokes under pressure in one moment after another that seems too big for Hackett.Ĭall Payton out of retirement. In defeat, he repeatedly cited a need to look at the videotape to figure out why his team is its own worst enemy. “All teams are tested by adversity,” Hackett said. Despite a defense living up to its “Darkside” nickname, the Broncos are stuck with a 2-3 record. Hackett is not only bringing back all those bad vibes of Vance Joseph and Vic Fangio, he clearly is more overmatched than two coaches whose names are mud around here. We know horrendous coaching in Broncos Country. The Broncos lost 12-9 Thursday in overtime to a bad Indianapolis team that won a game without a touchdown, the margin of victory provided by a 48-yard field goal by Chase McLaughlin. With all their billions in the bank, could the crazy-rich Waltons please lure Sean Payton to the Darkside and end our embarrassment in Denver?įive games as the coach in Denver, and Hackett is on the hot seat. This mean-and-ornery Broncos defense would be a terrible thing for coach Nathaniel Hackett to waste.
