NFL Playoff Picture After Broncos vs. Bengals Loss: Bo Nix & Defense Come Up Short | NFL Week 17

22 comments

1. Will the Broncos make the playoffs? Yes or No

2. I was at the game. We wasn’t aggressive with the play calling against the Bengals. Riley Moss was getting smoked by Higgins. Pat couldn’t catch a break. (Bonehead penalties cost us too!).

   No matter who Pat was on, Burrow was attacking Riley and the other CB. Cincinnati WR’s literally has 2 top number WR’s

   Although, seeing Bo play for the first time. Bo is a stud!!!

   Tough loss. But I’m not giving up.

   (Javonte was suited up but only got in for 2-3 plays the entire game. What’s up with that?)

3. Jaleel should have ran the ball in OT on 2nd and long, the screen pass was terrible in that situation when all we needed was one first down.

4. Our defense is overrated and im so tired of hearing how good we are

5. I keep telling ppl sean payton is overrated. Garbage play calling…Jaleel McLaughlin was averaging 6.7 a carry and only 10 touches

6. I will never understand all those negative comments of these bar chair analysts in here. We saw a team with a rookie qb which everybody had on their list for not more than 5 W‘s…and lightyears away from playoffs. We saw a young team build out of the finacial desaster with that cooking guy. And we saw them playing against a qb playing his best football on MVP level with lots of senior highclass weapons…playing together for years. And then we fell short…in overtime…and all you do is give up and throw this team and their coaches under the bus??? Before criticizing the same players, coaches and calls you love to death when they win, you maybe better take a second and think about why they are on the field or at the sideline on gameday while all you hold up is a pitcher of beer in a bar that shows the game. It ain‘t over til the fat lady sings…and the Broncos can still make it to the playoffs this season…which would be way more than awesome. But…if they do, can all you so called masterminds of american football do me a huge favor? Please go and watch Jeopardy, Voice of America or some other crap from next week on.

7. Joe Burrow had short field the whole game. Can't give Burrow short field.

8. We win next week whether KC plays starters or not. Sean Payton cannot call plays or manage the game at all. This ain't the saints so quit doing check downs every other game or Mims on bubble screens that never work. Also go for two points instead of the tie. Why not? We had all the momentum but Payton wanted to play for the tie. You can only stop Joe Burrow so many times. I was at the game and Broncos 3 and 6 play on last poss. In overtime Nix had a running lane but chose to go deep to Troy Franklin who once again over threw him. They should've never punted the ball back, instead they should have went for it bc at that point there was 2:29 left in overtime and no timeouts for the Bengals. Pick up the first and Payton gets his tie he was playing for. He makes me sick and he is to blame. Trust in Bo to get 6 yards. They could've kneeled pretty much the rest of the game. Also Riley Dixon could not punt to save his life last night. He gave them great field possession every punt and return. I am not a huge fan of him anyways. But you have to win on all 3 levels and they didn't last night. It's ok we are going to the playoffs and watch out in the playoffs. Anything can happen.

9. SP needs to go, the owners needs to see our comments on here

10. You can't go 3 and out at turning points of the game. You also have to defend the pass which did not happen. Too many long drives for the Bengals!!

11. The chiefs might only rest second half. 😞😞

12. We should of went for 2… I was screaming when we didn’t

13. As a Chiefs fan I think you should extend Payton's contract!! Terrible coach

14. The defense has regressed this month, since Sept-Nov we were ranked top 5 and in December we're 31st in total defense. Since the Browns game we have given up almost 500 yards total. VJ and the defense has a major problem.

15. Sean blew bafk to back games.. he needs to stop calling plays. And we had all the opportunities to win it…. esp3cually after the fueld goal..

16. Next year we need a slot wr.. a solid #2 wr..use mims at slot.. and we need 2 pro bowl tight ends.. and a lethal rb!!! Williams will be gone.. df side we need solid #2 corner.. moss isnt it.. he more depth… and we need another safty!!! And 1 linebacker who can cover tight ends.. thats what is killing us..tight ends.. and 1 more pass rusher!!!

17. Riley Moss got roasted the entire game

18. Bills fan here I understand heartbreak but you guys aren't winning the Superbowl be happy you got your QB your going to the playoffs if u don't can't beat the chiefs without there starters then maybe not ur time but positive side you got ur QB be appreciated of this time doesn't happen often this is learning experience for you guys also Joe burrow with those wrs are so good they are build for passing tbh if they got in I think they win it all Bengals for some reason are build to beat buffalo my team KC but bad against poor teams matchups matter

19. Also can nix and Franklin complete one pass – Franklin is a bust at this point

20. No

21. Tightends killed us.. when are we getting a tightend..

22. The interception hurt…get the 2 points for the win!!
