@Mizmazzle When it was 3rd and 5 in the 4th quarter and they had an 18 point lead, I’m thinking just run the ball and play defense,but they thought they were slick like the Seahawks against The Patriots in the Super Bowl and decided to throw it. Obviously if he completes the pass etc. but he didn’t and that was the beginning of the end. I looked at Denver’s schedule for the rest of the season and I don’t think there’s a single game that’s not potentially winnable,even the 2 games against The Chiefs. Kind of reminiscent of The Chiefs winning all these really tight games in the fourth quarter last season.

@Mizmazzle as a long time Dart and Nix observer (being an Ole Miss / SEC / college football fan) the difference in Dart and Nix that stands out to me is that Dart correlates with elevated play on both sides of the ball for the Giants (I say “correlates” because it’s uncertain to me how much of the vibe changes across the board are due to him, but it certainly coincides with his starting). If we assume at least some of the turnaround even on D is due to what Dart brought then that is another level of leader for a team. But then again Nix stepped into a team with an elite D so maybe unfair to compare.

My worry about him is staying healthy with the aggression he has always played with.

@Jett129 I’ve thought the same thing about our schedule. Kind of looking forward to the cowboys next week. Feel like they will offer us a legit challenge and be a solid litmus for what we’re capable of in a playoff scenario.

@mclaincausey Dart staying healthy, you mean? I agree. I thought for sure Wilson would have to finish the game yesterday.

@Mizmazzle Being a Chiefs fan,obviously, I’m rooting for The Giants,as that would have helped The Chiefs. While it was a crushing loss for The Giants,they definitely have their quarterback. What a great game nonetheless.

another chiefs fan here. born in raised in KCMO. i live in raider/4whiner country though now.

FTR and FTD!

@Mizmazzle yeah. He and Skattabo are the kind of players who tend to get injured and have short careers. Sure is fun to watch them healthy though.

I’m with you on Nix, maybe 50/50 on him. His style of play and build raise fewer concerns about durability than a Dart though.

I was discussing the real possibility that after Joe Flacco leaves the Bengals and goes to the Steelers then eventually comes here what if he wins the fucking SB here. I’d feel too bad for Lamar to enjoy it.

Ravens looking good

[Choko]

Should be a good game tonight. Steel nation ️

[Mizmazzle]

Broncos firing on all cylinders today!!

[Jett129]

@Mizmazzle Definitely not looking forward to The Chiefs playing you guys in 4 weeks.

[steelworker]

Pats win again

[Oaktavia]

Steelers uniforms tonight hahahah

[Choko]

@Oaktavia lmao they’re throw backs bro!

[Mizmazzle]

@Jett129 that could be one hell of a battle. I really think the next few games could be highly developmental for the Broncos offense.

We’re getting into the part of the season where the “healthy” factor is going to be key. Surtain went out with a shoulder injury at halftime. Hope it’s not too serious.

Speaking of injuries…poor dude Skattebo…kid was on his way to a legendary rookie year. Heart goes out to that kid.

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia haha. Those uniforms are quite hideous.

Nice being back in WI to watch the Pack win tonight.
