Broncos news megathread (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=285643)

Baltimore was in every single game they lost, and two of their losses came against 3-0 teams.

Both of the Chiefs losses came against 3-0 teams.

Detroit was probably our weakest win but they aren't a bad team and got to play us for their home opener.

If we hadn't dicked around in our under the center offense for half the game it wouldn't have been close.

You still struggled on offense after Peyton went to shotgun.

Your team really had 2 drives the entire game. We had at least 3. Statistically, Denver has one of the worst offenses in the NFL. It's worse than ours LMAO

2 winless teams (before last night against Michael Vick) and us.

Think about that for a second, the teams you have played are a combined 2-8 this season. Not only that, but every game you played has been close.

That is similar to what we did in 2013 when we started 9-0. We all knew how that turned out; disappointment.

That's some trash talk there. You know you suck because we are the best team you've beaten. How does it feel to be reduced to that level?

Greg Cosell's Look Ahead: The Denver Broncos' dominant defense

It’s tough to figure out how to beat the Denver Broncos defense.

Start with the fact that they have three excellent corners who can all play man-to-man coverage. When you begin with that, it gives you so many options as a defensive coordinator. Then add in the fact that Denver has two high-level pass rushers on each side, Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware.

Once you think about that foundation, you can easily understand how difficult it is to play against them.

In Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens we saw how devastating the combination of coverage and pressure can be. The Broncos ran a combination stunt/blitz at Joe Flacco. Aqib Talib is maybe the best cornerback in the league at playing to pressure and reading and anticipating the quarterback. He ran this route for Steve Smith.

So what do you do to slow down Denver's pass rush? You keep extra guys in to block. That affects everything else you’re trying to do though, and for the Detroit Lions last week it caused one of their biggest mistakes of the game – although you’d need to pay close attention to see how the Broncos’ defense was able to make the play.

In the fourth quarter the Broncos were in dime defense playing “Cover 3” zone with safety David Bruton essentially playing middle linebacker. The key to the entire play was that the Lions needed running back Ameer Abdullah to chip block Ware. Abdullah couldn’t release immediately, which would have controlled Bruton. Bruton dropped and read Stafford, who thought he could beat him with a skinny post to Calvin Johnson.

Instead of Bruton being occupied by Abdullah, the Lions had Abdullah chip block because of the fear of Denver’s pass rush, and that freed up Bruton to make a huge interception.

Also, this is the difference between dime and nickel defense. A linebacker doesn’t make the play that Bruton, a safety, did. Although the Broncos were in zone on this play, they play a lot of man coverage because of their personnel. Bruton has become one of the best dime linebacker/safeties in the NFL. Chris Harris is tremendous and can play the slot in nickel or dime. Safety T.J. Ward plays very well in the box so he can support against the run. Bradley Roby is a really good outside cornerback.

Against the Lions, the Broncos mostly matched up the bigger Talib on Calvin Johnson, the quick Harris on Golden Tate and had Roby on Lance Moore. The Lions couldn’t exploit any of those one-on-one matchups. The Lions had just 290 yards of offense. This week, the Minnesota Vikings are going to have to find a matchup in the passing game they can win, and it won’t be easy to do.

Hard to brag about the defense when you can't stop the run. Jamaal ran all over that d, even with a shit line.

Yeah, you guys look real tough playing a schedule with a W/L record of 2-8 and winning each game by 6, 7, and 12 points.

We'll see when you start playing some legit teams.

Broncos fighting & Danny Trevathan out 6-8 weeks

Oh, Golden Tate exploited the hell out of that matchup.

I think half of the Broncos' D's jocks are still out on the field from that nasty cut he made.

It's strange how things change so rapidly. At the Beginning of the season IIRC, the Broncos had one of the tougher schedules to overcome. But now, nope, it's all cakey-cake walk.

Don't kid yourself, beating KC was a fantastic feat of overwhelming luck. I mean, kc alone made the first part of the Bronco's schedule ridiculously hard.

Von Miller fined for thrusting.

Quote:

Broncos linebacker Von Miller avoided a fine after being penalized for roughing the passer against the Lions last Sunday night, but he did hear from the league this week.

The NFL has confirmed that Miller was fined $11,567 for unsportsmanlike conduct due to the moves he showed off after the Broncos dropped Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford during the 24-12 victory. Miller performed a couple of pelvic thrusts that will be familiar to fans of Key and Peele (or, for those of an older vintage, reminiscent of Ravishing Rick Rude).
