This ignores so much.
Denver, in September is a terribly difficult place to win. And to say that this Denver team is just bad ignores that they have won in the high altitude Denver heat with some really shitty teams. Add to that they wereplaying against a great pass rush and a HC that knows the HC and QB better than any other opponent. No one rationally argues that the offense doesn't need to improve, but to say this was the second easiest game on the season schedule is just ludicrous.
This is the home opener for Denver, and they always play well. Denver boasts a 45-13-1 (.771) all-time record in home openers, including a 17-1 mark in its last 18 such games. That’s when Empower Field at Mile High opened in 2001.
