1. All Bo needs to do is score a few points because this Defense is going to win a Superbowl ❤.

2. dude said deez nuts crossing the goal line…typical Sean Payton team.

3. John Elway was Bo Nix once. I see a lot of Elway in Bo Nix. A future Superbowl winner.

4. I don't know Mark. I'm not a fan of Nix but I have seen him throw some lasers. No, nobody is in Josh Allen's league with arm talent, maybe Mahomes is close and prime Rodgers, but as you say, ain't nobody throwing 70 yards anyway, but what that arm talent does give you is completions in tight windows and it keeps the secondary from cheating and creeping up to cover underneath.

5. The knock on the last 3 Oregon QBs is that they are "System" players. So you have one of the best system coaches ever take a guy who completely fits i to that system and they succeed. Bo is a lot better than most people gave him credit for. Sco Ducks!

6. Nobody ever talks about how bad Denver's run game is. Imagine how much more open the WRS would be if the other team actually thought we were gonna run the ball?

7. Broncos might make the playoffs but they're no playoff team. Can they beat anyone, had the chiefs beat, took a miracle block FG to lose that one, but the playoffs are different. They still have a few holes but at least there is hope now.

8. The biggest takeaway from this that Denver is free agency destination once again

9. Can’t even explain how bad Denver’s run game is. If they get that going then they would really be scary.

10. See what it will take to move up for Jeanty! (wishful thinking) This team doesn't have one and its clear as day it's hindering the offense in a big way. Go Broncos!

11. Mark…ya didn’t tell me! Been looking at my phone for weeks…no calls, no texts, no nothing! …thought we were friends?

12. Mark rockin the Vandals vest. There's a coaching vacancy now, Mark. Trying to tell us something?

13. And Rich took the Colts over the Broncos…. Hahahaha… Hope he didn't bet any money on that.

14. If stink says arm size doesnt matter, arm size doesnt matter

15. Word !

16. Are there any running backs sitting at home we could get

17. Love that he is wearing an Idaho Vandals hoodie. GO VANDALS!

18. It's so weird having a QB we drafted I can believe in lol. Last time was Cutler and that's almost 20 years ago. Is this what Packers fans feel all the time lol?

19. Good point but I think we really do need a TE to open up the middle off the field it also helps Bo nix have a better opportunity to run it if we do not have that play again with a TE I believe we can spread the the field more and have better options

20. First off bo doesn't even have a real number one receiver or a decent RB. He wins with less.

21. I've enjoyed listenling to Mark Shlereth for some time, starting with the time he and Elway found themselves face down on the ground, side by side just inside the end zone in Elway's last Super Bowl versus Atlanta. Mark looked at John and said, "Hey, how ya doin?" His insights and anecdotes on Bo Nix are great.

22. FIRST, I said this before the combine bo ranked 2nd in every single stat as far as the deep ball is concerned andvpff said he had a 128qbr under a blitz in a unclean pocket where he only was sacked 4% of the time . That was light years ahead of everyone caleb williams had 112qbr sacked 24% of the time at the time i said that this stat always seems to follow qbs and would yiu look at that williams is getting sacked ton. Ntm nix was 19-0 when tds to ints while in the redzone facing pressure nobody was even close to that exept drake maye as far as arm talent i dont get what people are saying . His arm velicity is in the 95th percentile he has beat a ton of mvp and great nfl qbs as far as velocity and i believe hes tied with mahomes or 1mph slowe at combine and equal at his proday.

    There are only 12 quarterbacks out of the last 300 invited to the NFL Combine with a faster ball velocity than his, so I’m not sure how anyone could say his arm is weak. He threw 4 mph faster than Justin Herbert at the Combine, and in 2023, he threw 1 mph faster than his Combine performance—without even taking a step. In terms of Combine speeds since 2000, that would put him behind only about three guys.

    He was only 3 mph slower in velocity than Josh Allen, the record holder, and just 2 mph slower if you factor in his Pro Day performance in 2023. Oregon also has some of the most accurate technology in the world for taking readings. At one point, they had one of only two systems globally that were more precise for measuring 40-yard dash times. So I trust that 60 mph reading, and the fact that he threw just 1 mph slower with no step at the Combine pretty much confirms it.

23. The broncos don’t need to win any of these awards for people to see they are legit. 9-5 with a rookie qb and a roster many labeled as the “worst” in the preseason. This franchise is back, and they are hungry

24. All i know is i am thinking that i hope they have a shot at that TE at Penn state dude is an animal

25. Unbelievable, how far can they go? It is possible they could lose the next three games if luck was winning for them.
