The Denver Broncos lead by Bo Nix await to come out of the tunnel top play the New York Jets at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey Sunday, Sept. 29, 2024. Thanks for getting us going this week, Ed. I hadn’t thought about it in those overall terms so far. Let’s say in the B- or C+ range. Looking at the first four games, I’d have guessed 1-3 before the season. In fact, I think I did for The Post’s preview magazine.
Nothing’s a finished product, of course. The defense has to show it can withstand early-season injuries over more than just a couple of weeks. The offense has seen its engine, the offensive line, start to find a rhythm after a really poor start. The biggest single question is whether Bo Nix starts to find a sustainable groove. If the rookie does, this team can be dangerous.
Also, bad weather games are going to happen. They’re not always going to be pretty and maybe the rain really was that bad at MetLife, but you’re going to have to figure out a way to throw the ball some in adverse conditions going forward. Hey Parker, the refs’ botched fumble call late in the game nearly cost us the win. If handled properly the Broncos would have returned the fumble to the house and iced the game. Additionally, we see every week teams rushing to the line of scrimmage to try and run a play and prevent their opponent from having the time to see if a challenge is warranted.
What exactly happened to Tyler Badie? I’ve never seen someone feel the effects of an injury so much later.Hey Vince, thanks for writing in. As I’m writing this, we don’t know exactly what happened to Badie. As he walked off the field it appeared he was hurting from the hit itself in the lower back/side area. But his face mask also dragged on the ground after the hit and pulled his head forward.
