I CANT EVEN IMMAGINE THE BRONCOS GOING TO BUFFALO ONLY TO GET BLUDGENED BY 40 OR MORE POINTS..

[@viralbull8085]

As the good book says... Worry not for the troubles of tomorrow, tomorrow brings it's own blessings. Worry about making the playoffs today

[@UncleRicosRevenge5280]

I’m calling in sick tomorrow. Broncos broke my heart and nuggets lost to Portland on buzzer beater 😥😭💔

[@NikeMonkey64]

I'm as mad as anybody, but to call Barton and Strnad trash is just unfair. Are they both Fred Warner? Hell no. But they both have played quite well this season since Singleton went down, and have contributed to our defensive success. I also really like Drew Sanders, but if you remember back to that Miami game last year, he had something like 10 missed tackles, and it was an issue that persisted throughout last season. To say he could outplay the other two LBs, especially after being fresh off of an Achilles surgery just sounds unlikely at this point in the season. I can't think of a single defensive player that didn't miss a tackle tonight, just a bad game for almost all of em, but doesn't make any of them "trash".

[@CraigintonBennett]

Yeah but just to add lol Cody Barton got ankles took by a 300+ pound lineman

[@CarlosPena0991]

3 bad calls against us didn’t help but it was the play calling that killed us. Offensively not aggressive enough until the end smh. So many screens and Bo not scrambling enough. When Sean realizes Bo isn’t Brees and uses his running skills they’ll be elite.

[@PeakMemeFuel]

Strnad is the worst starting ILB I've seen in quite some time. Tough loss, gotta keep the hope up. 💯

[@joseortiz7828]

The ball was underthrown and Mims wasnt even going back to the ball.. tough call fs but it wasnt that egregious

[@preston1111]

Not a bad ass last eeek cuz we faced an actual good team !!!🤣👍

[@travistarbox7316]

Morning priests watching after the fact early morning and all . Beyond pissed at the second half and how terrible the play calling and how bad our defense was.

[@dylangoff2113]

We ran the ball 7 times on the opening drive. There were 10 called run plays THE REST OF THE GAME. Not counting Nix scrambles, which were called pass plays. No excuse for Payton going away from the run game in a game 1) it was WORKING and 2)You were ahead for longer than 3/4 of the game. Unnacceptable.

[@goofycomputer1234]

Is called putting 8 in the box or sometimes 9 in the box.. that means you have no choice but to pass

[@Opethianaut]

Penalties are one thing but the coaching let us down too. Why move away from the run game that was working well in the first half?! Damn defense the imploded and it was tough to stomach. Time to lock and reload and get ready for the Bengals.

[@mplage11]

It is becoming painfully obvious that Bo Nix can't throw the long ball. He has to fix that.

[@rickross3279]

This is why it’s hard to Bolieve in this team….. looks like harbaugh is our new daddy

[@travistarbox7316]

I don't understand why we didn't come out in the second half and put this game away. We were cramming it down there throat in the first half. I'm always DB4LIFE just disappointed.

[@abelatencio5192]

HEY GUYS, FACE IT, PLAYERS ARE AT FAULT OK.. 7 CRITICAL PENALTIES BY PLAYERS WHO SCREWED UP..AND THAT CHANGED THE MOMENTUM.. BRONCOS STILL HAVENT BEAT A TEAM WITH A WINNING RECORD NO PASS RUSH NO RECEIVERS ,ETC. ETC.. I HOPE THEY DONT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS..

[@dylangoff2113]

We completely abandoned the running game after the first drive. You guys blame Javante for the running game EVERY WEEK. He played well tonight. I remember Estime getting stopped for a loss and 1 yard multiple times in the 2nd half, not Javante. Stop with the scapegoating.

[@G4LIFE74]

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️same old And we got Cincy and KC next ?… Not good at all

[@PutTheLimeInTheCoconut]

Blaming the game on VJ is unfair. He's been doing very good as the Broncos DC and has made this a top 5 defense. Zack is speaking out of emotion and not logic tonight..

[@dylangoff2113]

Hey Zach....Javante Williams averaged more per carry than Estime or any other broncos running back. We get that u hate the guy. But u blame the problems in the run game on him every week. The real problem this game is that Payton must have lost that big piece of paper that said "Run the ball" on it. We led for MORE than 3/4 of the game and barely attempted to run when it was clearly working

[@joseortiz7828]

Broncos got away with clear illegal man downfield on the TD. Refs sucked sure. But the Broncos had help too. Broncos kept jumping offsides.

[@viralbull8085]

Man down field 😂😂 come on, one shit on second and goal off sets the literal 10 point hand over. Sure the broncos kept jumping off side and the bolts kept holding and face masking and not a single call. Nah, doesn't pass the sniff test

[@joseortiz7828]

@viralbull8085 you're making excuses. Broncos were up by 11. The refs didn't score for the Chargers. Herbert was carving that zone defense up. The missed PI call was an under throw. Holding? Lol both teams were holding. I promise.

[@joffyjoffa]

​@@viralbull8085You must've missed the holding call on that screen and the other PI that wasn't called vs the Chargers. You team got smashed in the second half when it counted TRY again 🥱

[@joseortiz7828]

Herbert is throwing to bums dude lol

[@newmexicomike]

I think Peyton should get next year and if we can't get to to the playoffs and win he should be gone. I'm not seeing this "great coach" that everyone says he is.

[@newmexicomike]

Sean Peyton trying to be cute at times. Needs to stop that crap. Also, when something's working why does he stop doing it? Makes no sense. Hey the run game's working so let's go away from that. Peyton has made a ton of questionable calls since he's been here imo.

[@MrGreasyJ]

We are who I thought we are 📚✍🏾💡 we not ready when it come to our roster 🔑this is again why I refuse to watch the broncos we are winners like I want us to be 😂😂😂 yall depressed but I seen this coming 😂I seen that it said we lost 5 minutes out on Twitter like hold up it’s still 5 minutes left in the game strange to me but yeah that seemed very fishes 😂I don’t know about the nfl anymore like how and why would they post that and we was only down by 3 points 😎 I will tune in after draft season 😅

[@joseramos4320]

Got robbed 10 free points

[@joffyjoffa]

Got beat 10 points SO SAVE IT 😭

[@maximomedrano3143]

WHY DO NFL COACHES GET CUTE WHEN THE RUNNING GAME IS WORKING? It’s infuriating.

[@slightlyaboveaverage2235]

Outside of the full-fledged collapse, it's a different game without that PI no call and 3 straight finnicky penalties they called on denver before that.

[@immenseofperspectives8295]

- Herbert was clearly face-masking the guy that got called for the horse-collar. Should've been off-setting penalties. - Broncos D offsides on a chargers screen...Chargers lineman clearly does a block/push to the back. Another off-setting penalties not called. - PI on Mims puts them in or near the RedZone. 3 extremely visible penalties, 1 being far bigger than the others. Also....might be a Chargers holding on the Herbert scramble from the endzone.

[@slightlyaboveaverage2235]

@immenseofperspectives8295 Oh yes, plenty of BS to call out, and in general, I don't like blaming the refs, but this was too big to ignore. It's going to be hard to let this loss go with all that.

[@viralbull8085]

How is that touch to the knee on Herbert's slide a personal foul? They're literally moving on each other, unless a QB can only get 5 yards on the run how the fuck are they supposed to stop them. Someone has to touch them. The refs literally threw the game for the bolts tonight

[@joseortiz7828]

​@immenseofperspectives8295 Broncos got a TD with an illegal man downfield call ignored on a 3rd down. Let's not act like the Broncos didn't have an 11 pt lead.. Herbert was balling give the Chargers credit.

[@viralbull8085]

@joseortiz7828 It was second and goal from the 5 yard and it wasn't that clear cut, like Herbert's hand to the mask that was called personal foul for him on a 3rd down sack

[@3318kk]

The Bo Nix glazing by Chad is crazy, he was trash this game

[@aldootaegui8061]

Look I still believe but I will say just like I said last year if we want it then we want it but this year is different and we own our own faith this year and all we had to do and still is win one just one but we let a guy with a bum ankle run on us and no real playmakers smoke us and our three position lead and we where a ghost in the second half terrible terrible we shall see

[@PeakMemeFuel]

Definitely not enough weapons. Unacceptable choke job. Ladd is definitely legit already as a rook, he was questionable though...
