They did a superb job of playing football and exploiting the weaknesses of their opponents.
Hats off to the Detroit Lions, their players, and their coaching staff. No… the Denver Broncos had at least a dozen plays they needed to flip the script on and that just isn’t happening. There’s not just a handful of plays where if we change the outcome, you could see a way that the team could have won. The second reason I don’t like games like this is that they don’t produce a lot of substance for critiquing growth in the team from a positive point of view. But losing 42 - 17 just says you didn’t even show up on the field of play from an effort standpoint or your roster is not good enough to compete. I’ll take a loss by 10 or less any day…at least in those you know the team was close.
The first reason is that it shows our team wasn’t up to the task of competing. Those of you who have read my reviews for a long time will know I’m not a big fan of games like this.
