1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: We're back into Powerfield at Mile High. There will be

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: a trophy celebration taking place celebrating the AFC champion New

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: England Patriots. Patriots come to Denver. They beat the Broncos

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: ten to seven. The Broncos had a seven to nothing

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: lead after the first quarter. Jared Stidham to Courtland Sutton

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: from six yards out fifty nine yards on the drive

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: in five plays and the Sutton touchdown came with ten

8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: to nineteen left in the first quarter. It was seven

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: to nothing. Really, the Patriots offense could not deal with

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: the Broncos defense at all in the first half, but

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: a costly turnover.

12
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: Just late in the second quarter.

13
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: Again, Jared Stidham, trying to set up a screen pass

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: with blitzers on the way, had tremendous pressure, continued to

15
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: back pedal, had the ball knocked away at the last minute.

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: The Patriots recovered. Although initially it was called an incomplete

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: forward pass. I do think they got that call right.

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: It was a fumble. Patriots starting the twelve and two

19
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: plays later Drake maya quarterback draw scores from six yards

20
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: out and with two ten left in the half, it

21
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: was seven to seven.

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: That's what the score was at halftime.

23
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: Patriots took the second half kickoff and really got into

24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: their power running game. Starting on their thirty one yard line,

25
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: they went sixty four yards, taking sixteen snaps of offense

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: and nine to thirty one off the clock. Again, the

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: Broncos defense stopped them from getting into the end zone

28
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: and Andy Borregalis connected from twenty three yards out, and

29
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: with five point twenty nine left in the third quarter,

30
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: it was ten to seven. The Broncos didn't miss a

31
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 1: field goal in the fourth quarter, which was wide left

32
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: from forty five yards out. That was when it was

33
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: snowing so hard you couldn't see hardly anything on the field.

34
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: The official score said it was tipped at the line

35
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: of skirmmage. Frankly, I could not see that. But Leuts

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: was wide from forty five and that was the only

37
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: significant scoring opportunity for the Broncos in the entire second half.

38
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: Patriots hang on and win it ten to seven. The

39
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: performance of the game goes to Alex Singleton, who had

40
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: twelve tackles today and really.

41
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 2: Just had an outstanding game.

42
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: And frankly, to go through what Alex did this year

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: and be out here playing football and playing at that level,

44
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: I think is a testament to him in so many ways.

45
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: Performance of the game presented by shomp BMW, just like

46

51
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: three first downs combined by two teams in an AFC

52
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: Championship game.

53
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: That's how tough it was today.

54
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: Initially tough with both defenses, and then the second half.

55
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: Tough with the blizzard like conditions.

56
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: Patriots were six of eighteen and third down the Broncos

57
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: four to fourteen. Patriots wind up running the football and

58
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: they got it going in the second half thirty eight

59
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: carries for one hundred and forty one yards Denver twenty

60
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: four carries for seventy nine. Broncos throw for one hundred

61
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: and two yards. Patriots throw for only sixty five. Denver

62
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: fumbled the football once they lost it. They also had

63
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: an interception. Patriots come back after trailing significantly at halftime.

64
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: In the time of possession, they had it thirty three

65
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: minutes and nine seconds for the game to twenty six

66
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: to fifty one for the Broncos. The Broncos in the

67
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: second half had the football about eight minutes total. If

68
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 1: my math is correct, well check that in a couple

69
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: of minutes. Marvin Mims had four catches for the Broncos

70
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: for sixty two yards.

71
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: R J.

72
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: Harvey four for twenty two. Sutton had three catches for seventeen,

73
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: including the only touchdown for the Broncos. Hollins had two

74
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: for fifty one, Digs had five for seventeen, Henry two

75
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: for twelve, so not much there really in the passing game. Jones, Cooper,

76
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson and Roach all had sacks for the Broncos.

77
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: Three sacks by the Patriots. Denver possession time in the

78
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: second half eight minutes and fifty four seconds, which means

79
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots had a twenty one oh six in the

80
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: second half.

81
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 2: Denver.

82
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, obviously I thought dominated the first half, but the

83
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 4: game was close. New England kept it close, but in

84
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 4: the second half, as the weather got worse, the Broncos

85
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 4: had a lot of trouble moving the ball on offense.

86
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 4: Their defense kept them in the game to the very end,

87
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 4: and you mentioned Drake may Dave. He ran for six

88
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: of twelve of New England's first downs. Just incredible. That's

89
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 4: his superpower and he came through for his team here today.

90
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 4: Broncos defense did a really good job today though.

91
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: Keeping them in the game.

92
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 4: It was going to be an uphill climb today with

93
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 4: your backup quarterback bo Knicks out. I thought Jared Stidham

94
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 4: was solid today. Yeah, I don't think this game was

95
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 4: too big for him.

96
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: No, by the end of the game, we just have

97
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: found Out's twelve degrees now in the windshield.

98
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 2: Minus four.

99
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: Whoa, Okay, yeah, it's it's a cold one for sure.

100
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: We can get to the ten lines seven Towne. Did

101
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: Sean Payton not know who's gonna blizzard in the second half?

102
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: Why not take the points and go up ten?

103
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: Nothing?

104
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: I think that is a I think that is a

105
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: fair question. I think it's something that Sean obviously will

106
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: address uh in his post game what turns out to

107
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: be postseason press conference. Yeah, especially the way the Broncos

108
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: defense was playing at that point. I mean, the Patriots

109
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: offense was not doing anything against this Broncos defense.

110
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 2: So I think it's fair just to have sean answer,

111
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: and sometimes.

112
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: As a as a coach, I think at the NFL level,

113
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: you you you have analytics, you have your gut. You

114
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: who knows he's made. He's made a lot of those

115
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: that have worked that one. And if you go back

116
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: and look at it, the Patriots shifted right before the

117
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: Broncos snapped the ball, and then they had a They

118
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: had a free rusher that did not get blocked, did

119
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: not get touched, and Jared Stidham as he started to

120
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: roll out, had that guy White right in his face.

121
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 4: So Stidham seemingly was pressured on just about every pass attempt.

122
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 4: They did a good job rushing.

123
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: Him nine four one seven. Broncos lost the games. Pats

124
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: did not. John in Houston h two to eight, three

125
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: nine zero. Teams seemed to come out strong and then

126
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: went flat seven four six six. Dave as a color

127
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: on in eighty of this team is ahead of schedule,

128
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: lots of love. I think is as tough as today

129
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: will be, and it'll take a while to get over it.

130
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: I do think this season they were I'm not sure

131
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: they would admit this, but I think they were ahead

132
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: of schedule.

133
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: I think at least a year ahead It's really too bad.

134
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 4: What happened to bow Knicks who he took the team

135
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 4: this far and then couldn't have finished the deal. Honestly,

136
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 4: having a healthy bow Knicks here today could have made

137
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 4: a big difference because of what he can do with

138
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 4: his legs, very similar to what Drake May did. Broncos

139
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 4: had no running game again today, bow had been a

140
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 4: big part of the run game.

141
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: Let's see, New England had sixty four snaps of offense

142
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: for a total of two hundred and six yards. Two

143
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: hundred and six yards of total offense. Seven of those

144
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: snaps went for one hundred and thirty one yards, so

145
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: they again Drake May, to me, was the difference.

146
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: We talked about it.

147
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: We talked about the importance of, you know, keeping him

148
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: in the pocket. I mean, this is this is a

149
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: guy that has unusual speed for one so large, and

150
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: he's he's, uh, you know, he's he's a little bit

151
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen. He's not quite as big as Josh,

152
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: but I think at this stage of his career as

153
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: a as as a compared to Josh at this stage

154
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: of his career, I think Drake May's probably a little

155
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: bit faster.

156
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 4: Now we talked during the game, but it seemed like

157
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 4: he was rattled throwing the ball. Broncos were really getting

158
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 4: after him. He was unsettled most of the game throwing

159
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 4: the ball, but then he'd make a big play.

160
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: With his legs five five, nine, nine seven two.

161
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: We need a better running game play a football dictates

162
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: needing to run the ball. How can we not run

163
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: the ball better with such a great offensive line?

164
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: You know what?

165
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: I think that I think there that's fair, and I

166
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: really do. I think that's something they're going to have

167
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: to figure out. I think not having JK. Dobbins, And

168
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: again when he went out, I said that I thought,

169
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: other than Bo Nicks and maybe certain given what he

170
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: does for the defense, that JK. Dobbins was the least

171
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: in terms of losing a guy, the last guy other

172
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: than those two that you would want to pick on

173
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: the Broncos roster.

174
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 4: Well, think about this, Their two best offensive players didn't

175
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 4: play today, Bo Nicks and JK.

176
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 2: Dobbins.

177
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: Yep, I mean after nine weeks when Dobbins was rolling,

178
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: he was number three in the NFL in ten yard

179
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: or more runs. You lose that, and no disrespect to

180
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: the other guys in the room. But you lose a

181
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: lot when you lose JK. Dobbins uh seven one nine

182
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: seven two two. Drake may looking like and feels like

183
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: Mark Brunell two point zero. Tough to lose Bow, but

184
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: overall a great season.

185
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 2: I agree.

186
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: That's I think that's pretty good comparison. Mark Brunell came

187
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: in here in the season of ninety six in the playoffs,

188
00:10:55,080 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: and you talk about an athlete, just an unbelievable athlete.

189
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: By the way, the two hundred and six yards of

190
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: total offense given up by the Broncos, that's the fewest

191
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: yards allowed by Denver in forty five playoff games three zero, three,

192
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: two five seven ahead of schedule question mark exclamation. Patriots

193
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: are four and thirteen last year. Yeah, I know they were. Yeah,

194
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: Patriots have had a great season, I mean an unbelievable season.

195
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: Four four to three and eight Bowl plays we win easily. Yeah,

196
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: I mean I do think they missed Bow. I think,

197
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: as you said, Rick, I thought Stidy played about as

198
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: well as you can play for not having thrown a

199
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: pass for over seven hundred days in the NFL.

200
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 2: They pressured him a little bit seven nine two four eight.

201
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: Such a magical and brought the city in the Rocky

202
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: Mountain region back to life.

203
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.

204
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 4: And for people listening what you're hearing in the background,

205
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 4: there is a trophy ceremony going on on the field,

206
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 4: and there is quite a few Patriots fans are in

207
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 4: the stadium that I didn't even notice really till the

208
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 4: end of the football game, and they're sticking around for this.

209
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 4: That's what's going on.

210
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: Uh seven nine two three. Great season. Unfortunate not to

211
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: have our best player out there. Keys to the lost

212
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: one cham Payton going forward on fourth and one instead

213
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: of taking the points two are decreated.

214
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: Zero turnovers. Yeah, we were kind.

215
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 4: Of counting on that where Patriots had plus two, right,

216
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 4: Yeah we were. I think both of us were counting

217
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 4: on at least a turnover or hopefully even two in

218
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 4: the game. That last lut field goal attempt was tipped.

219
00:12:58,480 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 4: We couldn't see it from here.

220
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: But let's sit down. Listen to Sean Payton's press conference.

221
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 5: You hurt for every one of those players in that

222
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 5: locker room. You don't know how a game's gonna unfold,

223
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 5: and then how it began to unfold.

224
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 2: I liked early on the way I felt like.

225
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 5: Most of the first half we played on their side

226
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 5: of the field. We didn't We didn't score enough points

227
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 5: offensively or capitalized on that field position. The turnovers heard

228
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 5: us and you know, we had our opportunities, but it

229
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 5: starts with starts with the head coach, the rest of

230
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 5: our staff tip our hats to New England. Uh, it's

231
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 5: the hard fought game. I thought defensively, like you, you.

232
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 2: Don't know.

233
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 5: That it's going to be like this three point game,

234
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 5: but it became apparent that with each possession, a field goal,

235
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 5: that type of thing was going to be real important.

236
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 5: We weren't able to get it done, and that's it's tough,

237
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 5: especially in this game, especially in this game.

238
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 6: Any questions, Sean, you mentioned the field goal.

239
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 5: What was the decision making on the fourth and one

240
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 5: early in the second quarter to go for it? Yeah,

241
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 5: I just felt like, man, we had momentum to get

242
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 5: up fourteen. It felt like we had a good call

243
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 5: and where we at yard line wise there? Yeah, I

244
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 5: think I think the feeling was, man, let's let's be aggressive,

245
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 5: you know, to get up to get up fourteen. I

246
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 5: was just watching the way our defense was playing, and

247
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 5: you know, the only I mean, look the turnover on

248
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 5: our end resulting in a touchdown. And outside of that, man,

249
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 5: I thought we did a good job and containing and

250
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 5: containing them. There'll be a number of things when we

251
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 5: watch the tape I'll look at and and you know,

252
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 5: critique and pay close attention to. But there's a hard

253
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 5: fuck game and we didn't do it enough to win it.

254
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 7: Coach to your left, how much did the weather in

255
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 7: the second half really impact the offensive play calling?

256
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 6: And Jared Stidham, I think it's more.

257
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: Of the ball.

258
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 5: We had a little bit of the breeze, so we

259
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 5: decided in the third quarter they're getting the ball, so

260
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 5: we decided to go into the wind in the third quarter.

261
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: But it picked up.

262
00:15:53,040 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 5: You know, Look, I know we talked a lot about

263
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 5: footing ball security, like you know, as the conditions changed

264
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 5: that that became something that our players had to be,

265
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 5: you know, real mindful of. There were certain throws though

266
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 5: that we weren't going to call, you know, and you know,

267
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 5: we just we just didn't do enough in the run

268
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 5: game or in the past game.

269
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 2: Obviously.

270
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 8: Coach Jared was put in a tough situation to have

271
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 8: to start this on the initial turnover that they turned

272
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 8: into points where did you see and was the last

273
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 8: one that designed play to mems or was that just

274
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 8: him trying to give him a chance to make it.

275
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: I think it was him.

276
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 5: You know he hit memes earlier if you recall, and

277
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 5: so you know you have your backside read, your front

278
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 5: side read on the on the the turnover, I know

279
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 5: it was reviewed. It's always hard from the field level

280
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 5: as a backward passed. Then that that was the frustrating thing,

281
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 5: you know when when you play that back and forth

282
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 5: we were playing well enough defensively where Yeah, you know,

283
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 5: so that that was a that was a big play,

284
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 5: like you know if you said a turning point play and.

285
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,479
Speaker 2: But uh, I couldn't.

286
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 5: I couldn't really tell on the angle of the the

287
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 5: backward pass.

288
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, Sean, Just what did you think of hol Stidham

289
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 9: played today?

290
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 2: Oh?

291
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 5: I thought he fought hard in tough conditions. I think

292
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 5: we're going to look at the film. I know this,

293
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 5: I'm going to look at it and be critical of myself,

294
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 5: and I think there were a number of things that

295
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 5: we just had to do better. You know, we didn't

296
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 5: finish some runs, we dropped some passes. Again, I felt

297
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 5: like that was a problem all year. You know early

298
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 5: when we had the momentum.

299
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: We didn't like.

300
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 5: It felt like, let's just say most of the first half,

301
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 5: and we didn't come away with enough. Having had that

302
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 5: momentum and that field position.

303
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 6: Coach, do you have regrets for not taking the field

304
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 6: goal and going up to nothing?

305
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 5: There's always regrets, you know, Yeah, I mean, look, I

306
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 5: felt like, you know, here we are fourth and one.

307
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 5: We felt close enough that and it's and it's also

308
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 5: a call you make based on the team you're playing

309
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 5: and how what you're watching on the other side.

310
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: Of the ball.

311
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 5: So yeah, there'll be there'll always be second thoughts.

312
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 2: Back to fourth and one, you said you like to

313
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: play call. Why did you like that call as opposed to.

314
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 5: A well, we ended up in a six to one front.

315
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 5: They ended up playing like a heavy six one. We

316
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 5: actually there was a clock stoppage, so we had a

317
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 5: nickel run called and then I don't know if there

318
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 5: was a timeout or they called one, but you know,

319
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 5: it's a slipper naked that we've run pretty well. They

320
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 5: played a six to one front with a kind of

321
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 5: a two deep shell, so the run look was going

322
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 5: to be hindsight the sub run. The initial sub run

323
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 5: thought was a better decision.

324
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 8: Sean in the back, you said you might look at

325
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 8: yourself critically after you always Yeah, what specifically do you

326
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 8: think just thinking.

327
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 2: About it right now, that you would be critical of yourself?

328
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 5: Well, like you know, decisions like that, you know, the

329
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 5: tough ones, fourth and one.

330
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: Frustrated.

331
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 5: I felt like we'd be able run the ball more consistently.

332
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 5: I thought that was going to be important. We felt

333
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 5: like we had one of our better run plans going in.

334
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 5: I got to see the film.

335
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 2: We got.

336
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 5: I would say right from the beginning, we got a

337
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 5: good mix of pressure. We hit some big plays, but

338
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 5: I think the big thing was that first half.

339
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 2: Like that first half.

340
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 5: Momentum and field position didn't yield what it needed to yield,

341
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 5: Like we needed more than that. And they'll start there,

342
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 5: all right, Thank you?

343
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: So the comments from Teggo Sean Payton in the Broncos

344
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: locker room as the celebration continues on the field. Here

345
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: Drake may on a trot now heading into the Patriots

346
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: locker room. Ten to seven, New England comes into denmer

347
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: gets the win. A few more texts. Five to two

348
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: oh four hundred, Hi, this is Mike from Arizona. They

349
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: blew it going for and not getting the field goal.

350
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: May had the right idea about running for first downs

351
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: in the blizzard. He won it with his legs. I

352
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: think that was maybe the key part of the success

353
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. May's first carries. First seven carries, he

354
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: picks up sixteen. He picks up six yards on a

355
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: second and four. That was the touchdown. He picks up

356
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: on a first down, excuse me, third and fifteen. He

357
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: picks up sixteen yards on third and fifteen. On a

358
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: third and nine, he runs for twenty eight yards. Got

359
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: one yard on a fourth and one on a second ten,

360
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: he picks up thirteen yards. On a third and six,

361
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: he picks up seven.

362
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, we saw Stidhem make some plays with his legs

363
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 4: two and I don't know if we talked about this

364
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 4: on the ear off, but I thought there were some

365
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 4: opportunities for Stidham to pull the ball down and run

366
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter when he didn't, but he looked

367
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 4: like he was fully capable of doing that in these conditions.

368
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 4: That was about all you could do. Let's head down

369
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 4: to the locker room. Susie Warden standing by with Mike McGlinchey.

370
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 10: All right, thanks Dave. So Mike, you haven't had too

371
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 10: much time to process this, but just I mean, it

372
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 10: was a low scoring game, tough one for the offense.

373
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 10: The weather didn't help in the second half. What are

374
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 10: your thoughts as you look back on this one.

375
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.

376
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 11: I think just makes it hard to play offense with

377
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,479
Speaker 11: the weather like that. Obviously, there's no excuse for that.

378
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 11: They had the same thing. We made mistakes early that

379
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 11: they capitalized on that kind of switched the game and

380
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 11: they were better than we were today.

381
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 10: What'd you think about the play of Jarret's Did him

382
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 10: tough for him to come in? I know you guys

383
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 10: are friends, you do a lot of stuff in the

384
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 10: off season together, but with everything that was going on,

385
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 10: it's a tough position to put him in.

386
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

387
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 11: I think Jarrett did a great job today. I don't

388
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 11: think anything about this is on him. I think you

389
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 11: know everybody else, we all we all made mistakes today.

390
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 11: We all didn't execute the way we needed to and

391
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 11: as a team, we need to play better.

392
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 10: I know this is disappointing. You've said and so so

393
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 10: many others about how tight this locker room is. You're

394
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 10: never going to get this group back again. Is that

395
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 10: the hardest part about losses like this.

396
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 11: I think it's the hardest part about the NFL as

397
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 11: a whole. The revolving door that this league has become,

398
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 11: the turnover that happens roster to roster makes it really

399
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 11: hard for relationships and the things that you develop. And

400
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 11: that's why you got to live in the moment. It's

401
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 11: why you got to be thankful for where your feet are.

402
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 11: And we had a hell of a year, hell of

403
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 11: a team, and there's nothing they can, you know, take

404
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 11: away from us, because it was an unbelievable year. We

405
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 11: just didn't get it done.

406
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 10: Today, give a lot of hope to the Mile High City.

407
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 2: Well hopefully we'll keep coming.

408
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 10: All right, Hey, Mike, I appreciate you. Thanks, Susie, all

409
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 10: right for a good day.

410
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 2: Back up to you, Okay, Susie, thank you.

411
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: The injury report today presented by Common Spirit Healthy, official

412
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: healthcare partner of the Denver Broncos. One name on that list,

413
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: he of course, got banged up last week, Pat Bryant.

414
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: We weren't sure he was going to play. He did,

415
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 1: he started, and then he had a hamstring injury and

416
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: could not continue. So Pat Bryant the only Broncos player

417
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: on today's injury report, we will take a time out,

418
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: come back and wrap things up from in power Field

419
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: at Mile High. The Patriots beat the Broncos ten to

420
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: seven on the KAWA Broncos Radio network.

421
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 12: That's probably some plays you know, we missed in the

422
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 12: beginning to you know, put us in a better position.

423
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 12: But again, give him credit. You know it's a great

424
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 12: team and you know they deserve the win today.

425
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 13: Are you able to feel pride for the performance and

426
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 13: of the team this season even though obviously this wasn't

427
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 13: the outcome he wanted.

428
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a this is a really special group here,

429
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 12: and you know it's never going to be completely the same.

430
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 12: So that's probably what hurts the most, is just you know,

431
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 12: having it go that way. So yeah, it's just it's

432
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 12: a lot to digest right now.

433
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 8: Zach was just talking to.

434
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 14: And you said that DJ said, never forget, never forget

435
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 14: how this feels.

436
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 6: You know, it's hard to look ahead.

437
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 14: But how do you kind of compartmentalize this and turn

438
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 14: this into fuel?

439
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean I think it's too early kind of

440
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 12: to do that right now, So you know, ask me tomorrow.

441
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 7: About that exactions were deteriorating out there. How are you

442
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 7: feeling and did that change at all what you guys

443
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 7: were doing on defense?

444
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 12: Well, yeah, I mean they kept running it more. So yeah,

445
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 12: you know, I think you know, we were stopping the

446
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 12: run and then give them credit, they call it a

447
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 12: good play with the QB kind of like a little

448
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 12: boot action keep action.

449
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 2: So yeah, is that's just kind of.

450
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 13: The differences A couple of plays that May was able

451
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 13: to make with his legs throughout the game, not just

452
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 13: that last one.

453
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 12: I don't know, I mean it's a lot right now,

454
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 12: like to kind of digest. I mean, yeah, Drake made

455
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 12: some great plays. You know, he's a good player, So.

456
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty overall of the pressure he has a generating

457
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 2: in front, I think.

458
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 12: So, I mean we have five sacks, so but yeah,

459
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 12: I mean there's you know, probably a couple of ones

460
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 12: we want back that you know, keep them in there,

461
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 12: so we'll get that fixed.

462
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 2: For next year.

463
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 10: Zach, you talked about how special this team is and

464
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 10: how close these guys are. What what did this year

465
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 10: mean to you? And you've been around a few different

466
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 10: locker rooms.

467
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a really special group and uh yeah, I

468
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 12: mean That's just what sucks right now, is you know,

469
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 12: it's never gonna look the exact same, and yeah, it's

470
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 12: just I don't know, it's it's it's a lot to

471
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,200

482
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: the locker room talk with Broncos quarterback Jared Saidham. Jared's

483
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: it's Dave Logan tough one for sure, just having not

484
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,239
Speaker 1: played and having not thrown a ball in whatever it was,

485
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: seven hundred days. I mean, how did how did you

486
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: feel today getting your first action?

487
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 13: I mean, look I felt good out there, honestly, and

488
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 13: I think you know, those first, uh, you know, two

489
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 13: three four drives. I mean we're moving the ball really

490
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 13: well down the field, you know, and so from from

491
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 13: that standpoint, felt good. And uh, you know obviously you know,

492
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 13: left some points out there throughout the throughout the game.

493
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 13: But but yeah.

494
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 2: Just just two more quick questions.

495
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: The uh, the the ball that I thought was what

496
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: I initially called it incomplete pass and then they ruled

497
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: it a fumble. It looked like you were trying to

498
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: set up a screen and you got an initial pressure

499
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: right off the jump.

500
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

501
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 13: No, it was uh, you know, had pressure and I

502
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 13: was trying to uh honestly just trying to throw it away

503
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 13: to the running back, but he was he was kind

504
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 13: of getting held up by a defensive end. So you know,

505
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 13: I can't put the ball in harms way like that,

506
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 13: you know, put our or put our team.

507
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 2: In the bad spot.

508
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 13: So that that was the thought process on the plane,

509
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 13: was just trying to get rid of it.

510
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 2: Into the back.

511
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, Siddy, appreciate the time. Uh I thought you

512
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: played well, really tough conditions. So uh, I appreciate you

513
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: coming on.

514
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 13: Yep, thanks Dave.

515
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: You bet Jared Stidham in the Broncos locker room, and

516
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: there's not a hell of a lot of questions I

517
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: can ask a guy like who goes out and he

518
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: does the best that he can do, And actually I

519
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: thought played well. There are plenty of things to examine

520
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: in this game in terms of why the Patriots were

521
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: able to come in and win ten to seven. Two

522
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: turnovers in the game obviously costly. Your minus two in

523
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: the turnover differential stats in the league say that if

524
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: your minus two, your chances of winning are not very good.

525
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: Just as the Buffalo Bills last week, second half offense

526
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: by the Broncos seventeen snaps of offense thirty two yards total.

527
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: That's one point nine yards per snap. They had seven

528
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: carries for twenty two yards, fourteen passing plays for ten yards.

529
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: They had one first down in the second half. Lowest

530
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: scoring AFC Championship game since nineteen ninety one. Again, I

531
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: mentioned that earlier that was a game that I called

532
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. The Bills beat the Broncos that day ten

533
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: to seven. The Patriots beat the Broncos today here in

534
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: Denver by the same score to seven. We now Look Ahead,

Speaker 4: schedule in the NFL.

555

Speaker 2: Next year. Yep.

556
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: Rick final comments on what you saw today. I thought

557
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: that the defense kept him in the game.

558
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 4: It was the two turnovers as you mentioned, Dave, and

559
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 4: that fumble that really gave the Patriots the touchdown. The

560
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 4: Derretts did them what they call the fumble that was

561
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 4: it right there, and the Broncos just couldn't do anything

562
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 4: on the offensive side of the ball in the second half.

563
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 4: Weather conditions didn't help. But you know, give the Patriots

564
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 4: some credit. What a huge turnaround for them from last

565
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 4: year to this year. We were in the game the

566
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 4: entire way and the way the season has gone, you

567
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 4: never feel like they're out of the game. You always

568

Speaker 4: feel like this team has a chance to win the game.

569
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,280

589
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 6: All right, thank you, Dave.

590
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 7: Tremendous call is always my friend, and I look forward

591
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 7: to breaking it down with you more tomorrow three o'clock.

592
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 7: But yeah, really a special season, and I know that

593
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,479
Speaker 7: that hurts under the circumstances because you lose a game,

594
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 7: especially that close, but you know, you think about the

595
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 7: roller coaster of what everything was. Ultimately, I think that

596
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 7: there's a lot of momentum built here for this team.

597
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 6: Do you agree.

598
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: I think I think you can feel good about what

599
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: they did this year, but I think there are areas

600
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: that they're going to have to they're going to have

601
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: to improve upon.

602
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 2: And this it's not rock and science, right you.

603
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this is pretty pretty obvious in terms of

604
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: things they've got to do. But what I like is,

605
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the defense for the most part was good

606
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: this year. They had some they had some areas where

607
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: they gave up some yards in the ground, especially in

608
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Probably played better in the first part of

609
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: the season first half than they did after the bye week.

610
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,439
Speaker 1: The offense bogged down from time to time, and yet

611
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: had that magic to him that not every team has,

612
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: not every good team has, where you can just find

613
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: ways to win in a very tough and competitive league.

614
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: I think you have found a quarterback, certainly in bow Knicks.

615
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think Broncos fans, when they were able

616
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: to get away from what happened today, we'll look back

617
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: at the twenty twenty five season to say, man, they're

618
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: fourteen to three, number one seed in AFC one AFC West.

619
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: I mean that was a very good season and a

620
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: lot of people are going to be excited to see

621
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: what this team does in the offseason, getting ready for

622
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six.

623
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 6: Perfectly said my friend, I will see you tomorrow three o'clock.

624
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 2: Sounds good.

651
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 7: you think about what was there for you. You lose

652
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 7: a game ten to seven at home. That's gonna be

653
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 7: a frustrating for a lot of Broncos fans. And there's

654
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 7: gonna be some figure pointing. I understand to go in

655
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 7: here for all of it. You know, I do think that,

656
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 7: as I said to Dave moments ago, that multiple things

657
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 7: can be true.

658
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 6: It was a special season.

659
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 7: It was a magical season, but also a frustrating season

660
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 7: to end that way, knowing what was at stake, By

661
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,919
Speaker 7: the way the Seahawks just took a seven to nothing lead.

662
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 7: Kenneth Walker off the right side and they march right

663
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 7: down the field. So I think it was a three

664
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 7: and now for the Rams and then the Seahawks. So

665
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 7: I at this point think we'll win the Super Bowl.

666
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 7: They look like the most complete team. They just go

667
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 7: up early with about ten minutes left in the first quarter.

668
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 7: But we'll take your text We'll take your calls. Three

669
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 7: oh three, seven, one, three, eighty five, eighty five, five, six,

670
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 7: six nine zero ka Common Spirit'll text line. Also, we

671
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 7: are a little bit of a silver lining. I guess

672
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 7: we're saving away fifty dollars gift cars to SAMs Number

673

Speaker 7: cards every week to listeners in Denver Boulders. So maybe

676
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 7: a little bit of silver lining for three of you

677
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 7: out there on a otherwise kind of dreary day for

678
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 7: a lot of Broncos fans. But let's get after it.

679
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 7: We'll take the calls. I'll get to the texts here

680
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 7: in just a second. But first up is Paul an Eagle.

681
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 6: What's up, Paul? How are you.

682
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, Ryan, thanks, thanks for the year. Regarding the

683
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 3: Sean's decision to go for it on three, I guess

684
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 3: I was thinking about it two ways. If you know,

685
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 3: certainly they got people who are telling them what's going

686
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 3: on with the weather. So on one end, if you

687
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 3: know lousy weathers coming, you want to get all the

688
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 3: points she can, so you kick your field goal. And

689
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 3: on the other hand, if you know lousy weathers coming,

690
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 3: you want to try to put the the game out

691
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 3: of hand and score a touchdown.

692
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 7: I don't think you're wrong, man, I mean, I mean,

693
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 7: maybe you didn't think it was going to be as

694
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 7: bad as it was, but also you're right if you

695
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 7: know lousy weather. I mean, I like Shawn's explanation. I'll

696
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 7: let you go just one second. I like Shawn's explanation

697
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 7: after the game because you're thinking, in that moment, boy,

698
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 7: if we're up by fourteen, this our defense is playing outstanding,

699
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 7: And you get a sense of that as the game starts,

700
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 7: like you don't know until you get into it and

701
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 7: you're like, wow, our defense is really locked in here.

702
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 7: So then you're thinking, Okay, even if we don't get it,

703
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 7: I trust the defense to be able to force a punt,

704
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 7: which by the way, they did. But also again you know,

705
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 7: in retrospect, to lose the game ten to seven and

706
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 7: you had what would have been a really makeable field

707
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 7: goal for Will Lutz to go up ten to nothing. Again,

708
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 7: I understand it, but I understand also where Sean was

709
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 7: coming from at the.

710
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 3: Time, and then just flicking ahead. We have a quarterback

711
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 3: who can win the Super Bowl. We have an offensive

712
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 3: line that can win the Super Bowl. We definitely have

713
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 3: a defensive backfield that can win the Super Bowl. I'd

714
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 3: like to see the Broncos get improved over the middle.

715
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 3: I thought throughout the year, even though their record didn't

716
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 3: show it, but they showed it in the Buffalo game

717
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 3: and then in the Indianapolis game, that they're a little

718
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 3: weak covering the middle. I think we're vulnerable for tight end.

719
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 3: And then the running game. I thought the Broncos, even

720
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 3: though again there was only two games all year, but

721
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 3: you know, I felt when we talked about the game

722
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 3: last week, you know, we had to get all those

723
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 3: turnovers to win, and Buffalo really just ran ran the

724
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 3: ball over us and didn't punt. So I think if

725
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 3: they make a couple of good moves. Although our schedule

726
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 3: is a lot tougher next year, so it's going to

727
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 3: be a lot tougher games, but I definitely like, I

728
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 3: like our chances.

729
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 7: All right, Paul, thanks for the call, man, I appreciate it.

730
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 7: Three all, three, five, five, six, six nine zero. The

731
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 7: text line feels like they should have, could have, would

732
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 7: have game a well, good season, Let's get back next year.

733
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 7: The Cidem fumble was the only score by New England

734
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 7: points for a premium in this type of game.

735
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 6: We certainly proved that way, didn't it.

736
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 7: And it felt like at that moment that I mean,

737
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,959
Speaker 7: it's easy to know it in the moment, you saw

738
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 7: that that was going to be a significant play, obviously,

739
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 7: and then Drake May scrambles in from.

740
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 6: Six yards out.

741
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 7: But it also felt like, okay, it's early enough in

742
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,439
Speaker 7: this thing that you know the Broncos still have everything

743
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,919
Speaker 7: in front of them, especially the home field. But then,

744
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 7: as it turns out, you only scored seven, which was

745
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 7: on the second drive of the game, and overall the

746
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 7: Broncos possessed the ball twenty six fifty one, but they

747
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 7: barely had it in the second half, which is part

748
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 7: of the reason why we ended up tilting this thing.

749
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 7: But the Patriots had twelve first downs to the Broncos eleven.

750
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 7: The uh you know, both teams struggled on third down.

751
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 7: I mean Broncos were four for fourteen, Patriots were six

752
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 7: of eighteen.

753
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 9: You know.

754
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 7: The biggest difference that the Broncos did not convert that

755
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 7: fourth down where the Patriots did on theirs, which I

756
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 7: thought was a little bit questionable, you know, but whatever,

757
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 7: it's It's just a moment in the game when there

758
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 7: were many moments. Back to the phones and to Sean Pittsburgh,

759
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 7: what's up to Sean?

760
00:40:59,320 --> 00:40:59,440

766
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 16: I also want to think, you know, the team and

767
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 16: they worked hard and we got when we got a

768
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 16: top two roster in the NFL. Ryan, I've seen today.

769
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 16: The guys was playing hard. We shut down Drake may

772
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 16: the competition he played against but seeing him play against US,

773
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 16: I'm like, this is what everyone was like talking about,

774
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 16: this is what people was talking up Ryan. I don't

775
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 16: know if you've seen his eyes. You couldn't watch the

776
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 16: telecanser Yo, he looked scared, bro Like he was looking shook.

777
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 16: He looked shoking, and he wasn't ready for US. I

778
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 16: want to thank George Peyton. I want to think, Sean Payton,

781
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 16: We're gonna make some moves in free agency, y'all. We're

782
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 16: gonna be right back to this.

783
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 2: I like it.

784
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 6: I like it.

785
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 7: Thank you man, appreciate it. Yeah, I mean that's I

786
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 7: think you perfectly said. And it felt like, I mean,

787
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 7: I felt really confident going to this game, man.

788
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 6: I'll tell you, I.

789
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,280
Speaker 7: Really thought the Broncos were gonna win, and I didn't

790
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 7: expect the storm to be as significant.

791
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 6: But you know that's neither here nor there.

792
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 7: I felt like that the Broncos were doing everything they

793
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 7: wanted to do early on in this game, and they

794
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 7: just could not quite get And maybe that is part

795
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 7: of the team this year is they just couldn't quite

796
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 7: get over the hump. And me, even in games where

797
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 7: you felt like they were dominating, they couldn't pull ahead

798
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 7: by a lot on the scoreboard. And you know, you

799
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 7: go back to that Chiefs game right on Thursday Night football,

800
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 7: where by every metric they dominated that game, but it

801
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 7: was a close game by wreck by score.

802
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 6: And so because of that.

803
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 7: That's gonna put yourself in a position where where teams

804
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 7: are gonna come back and find a way to beat you.

805
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 6: Alex, you have Nick Juren Broncos react. What's up, Alex?

806
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 14: What's up?

807
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 9: Brian?

808
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 14: I mean a tough loss, i'd say for this Broncos team,

809
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 14: But you know, I say thank you for taking my

810
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 14: calls this year, and thank you'd probably become a better

811
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,919
Speaker 14: sports reporter. I did my local high school football team

812
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 14: for reporting on them, and I just feel like that

813
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 14: we were just one step away from winning. I would

814
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 14: say maybe two plays, would say that I stin on

815
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 14: fumble that probably hurt us, but again we didn't know

816
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 14: what the outcome was. I would say the Patriots on that,

817
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 14: I don't know, I don't know. I's not many people

818
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 14: noticed on that forty six years of that let's missed.

819
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 14: But I got tipped by a Patriot, and I would

820
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 14: say Patriots got lucky there. And if that was a

821
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 14: tip that, I feel like LUTs would have made that

822
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 14: kick right there. I think it'll give me lined lined

823
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 14: up down the middle. But I would say this was

824
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 14: a good year for the Broncos.

825
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 15: Stared him.

826
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 14: I feel like he I had confidence in s did him.

827
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 14: I feel like, you know, at this point, one thing

828
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 14: I think just is messing me up is I feel

829
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 14: like if Payton to go four on fourth down, you

830
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 14: took the points there. I think points in that those

831
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 14: games matter and I like how Tony Romo said it

832
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 14: probably should have taken the field because points mattering these rivalries.

833
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 14: If you scored the most points in this game, you're.

834
00:43:58,760 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 16: Gonna win it.

835
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 14: And that's what happened Peyton Manning and Toalm Brady and

836
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 14: those all those matchups that they happened. And I would

837
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 14: say the Patriots and the Super Bowl problemly took because

838
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 14: I think Drake May. I think what we did to

839
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 14: show what Drake May was. I think Drake May there's

840
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 14: a lot of week this is that have been shown.

841
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 14: I think he's a system quarterback of Josh McDaniels, But

842
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 14: I would say that's a good play called by McDaniels.

843
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 14: But overall, I think this I think eighty five to

844
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 14: eighty percent of this team's going to come back for

845
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 14: next year. It's a young team, and I think we're

846
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 14: gonna come back and make another run again. And there's

847
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 14: a good linebacker draft class, so if we need to

848
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 14: look at them more linebackers, there's a lot of good

849
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 14: linebackers out there. There's a lot of good receivers out there.

850
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,760
Speaker 14: And if we need a draft offensive line, all running backs,

851
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 14: I mean not many. I think we can hit out

852
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 14: a running back in free agency. And we have a

853
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,720
Speaker 14: lot of money. I mean, Bownick is going on your three,

854
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 14: so we still have a lot of cast spaces. But

855
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 14: I think this is a good team, will be good

856
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 14: next year, even if it's a tough schedule. I think

857
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 14: this is going to still be a dominant team for

858
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 14: next year.

859
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 7: All right, dig it, Alex, Thanks for the call, man,

860
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 7: and thanks for the calls all season, and you have

861
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 7: best of luck to you man, and you're a young

862
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 7: broadcast career. You're look forward to following you man, Kyle

863
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 7: san Antonio're up next. Year on Broncos reaction to Brian

864
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 7: Edwards was up, Kyle.

865
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 14: What's up?

866
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 3: Ryan?

867
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 17: I you know, disappointing, disappointing season, but like kind of

868
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 17: echoing what Deshaun and Alex said, man like shouts out

869
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 17: to you, shouts out to Dave, shouts out to Rick,

870
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 17: shouts out to mcgiver, shouts out to the blanket. You know,

871
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 17: for just the year round coverage. That is what keeps

872
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 17: me and other Broncos fans just completely entertained and absolutely

873
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 17: locked in for every season that comes up. And I

874
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 17: wanted to, you.

875
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 3: Know, give a big round up applause for the Broncos.

876
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 17: You know, just y'all did amazing things, and you gave

877
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 17: a Broncos fan like me and everybody else hope that

878
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,439
Speaker 17: there's this team's gonna be good, This team's gonna be great.

879
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 17: I truly believe as a Broncos fan with hoping him

880
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 17: completely in my veins and pumpkin spice lattes and wool socks.

881
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 17: And I'm rocking with you on the flannel. I'm probably

882
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 17: gonna get some.

883
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 3: More Broncos flannel.

884
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 17: H what a season? Seasons like this don't come around,

885
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 17: you know, a long time so whall, Yeah, it's just criticisms.

886
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:10,479
Speaker 17: I think my only biggest criticism is Sean Payton. Please

887
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 17: stop giving teams bulletin board material. I know if it

888
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 17: plays a lot of effect, but I don't, you know,

889
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 17: please just maybe put a sock in it every now

890
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 17: and then or juicy.

891
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 3: Fruit whatever it is.

892
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 9: But man, this team's gonna be great.

893
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 17: This team drafts so well, this team has a great ownership,

894
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 17: this team's got great chemistry. I really hope that this

895
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 17: most of his team comes back feeling that there is

896
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 17: a lot left on the table. You have bow Nicks,

897
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 17: you win this game, and you have a shot. Bo

898
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 17: Nicks has proven that he's a quarterback that you win

899
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 17: because of, not just win with. And that gives me

900
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 17: so much hope. So you know, I have every Broncos

901
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 17: game recorded, probably gonna watch them every Sunday moving forward

902
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 17: and just react as if it's live. And you know,

903
00:46:56,040 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 17: can't wait for next season, can't wait for everything that has, everything.

904
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:01,959
Speaker 3: That's in the store.

905
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 17: So have a good night, Ryan, and can't wait to

906
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 17: talk to you next year.

907
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 6: It sounds good, Kyle, Thank you, man, I appreciate it.

908
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 7: A couple of texts here who wins, and I is

909
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 7: going to win the Super Bowl, either Seattle or the Rams.

910
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 7: I mean I picked Seattle. Now, actually I take that back.

911
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 7: On Friday, I picked the Rams. So I feel like

912
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 7: the Rams are going to find a way. But boy,

913
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 7: the Seattle offense went right down the field on Los Angeles.

914
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 6: Now they battled back.

915
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 7: It was a forty four yard completion to Puku Nakula

916
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 7: that ended up setting up a field goal. So that's

917
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 7: seven to three with eight fifteen remaining in the first quarter.

918
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 7: What are you talking about, idiot? We came back from

919
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 7: seven behind games, so you don't know what you're talking about.

920
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 7: As usual, you're such a nit with Okay, well, I

921
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 7: don't know you're specifically addressing, but I'm glad to see

922
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:54,720
Speaker 7: that you can spell so many big words. Not making

923
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 7: to the AFC Championship Game again under Shawn and bow

924
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 7: that was a fun season though. Okay, listen to be

925
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 7: pessimistic if you want to. I mean, I don't know,

926
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,959
Speaker 7: you know, you we said it going into the game.

927
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 7: That like much like the Detroit Lions, for example, or

928
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 7: even Washington this last year, there's nothing guarantee going into

929
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 7: the gear after you make it, so I'm not guaranteeing

930
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 7: anything like that. I do think that there's still a

931
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,439
Speaker 7: playoff team. I think you make some ads you're gonna

932
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 7: have the Russell Wilson dead cap money come on off.

933
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 7: You know, you feel like you added an extra draft

934
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 7: pick in the trade with New Orleans.

935
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 6: So I don't know.

936
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 7: I'm gonna view this team as a playoff team until

937
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 7: proven otherwise, even with a tougher schedule, I actually think

938
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 7: the Broncos were go to total toe with good teams.

939
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 6: You know, I don't.

940
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 7: That doesn't scare me at all. In fact, I think

941
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 7: it's better for him anyways. Great season, I think we're

942
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 7: ahead of schedule. What is your opinion on the future

943
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 7: without Russell Wilson's dead money. Yeah, that's the thing is.

944
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 7: I feel like that the Broncos are well positioned here.

945
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 7: I mean, they're gonna have a late pick here in

946
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 7: the first round, obviously, but they have their full complimented

947
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 7: draft picks, They've got money to spend if they want to,

948
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 7: and they've been able to sign back a lot of

949
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 7: their core.

950
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,359
Speaker 6: Their offensive line is intact. I mean, you might make.

951
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 7: A move there left guard, but otherwise the offensive line

952
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 7: is in pretty good shape. Your defensive line. You've also

953
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 7: invested heavily in a lot of these guys are coming back.

954
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 7: Your secondary is also in really good shape. Maybe we

955
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 7: can move a linebacker, but otherwise a lot of these

956
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 7: positions are coming back next year. So a lot of

957
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 7: the team is the same team going into the next season.

958
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 7: But that's where I sit down and somebody asked about Evaningram. Yeah,

959
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 7: I mean he's under contract, so you can make a

960
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 7: decision there. But otherwise I think you're going to want

961
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 7: to upgrade there with the pass catchers, both tight in end,

962
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 7: wide receiver, obviously upgrade at the running back.

963
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 6: And it's not to say I didn't like what RJ.

964
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 6: Harvey did.

965
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 7: I did, but by the end of that game, you've

966
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 7: really felt missing a strong running game, especially in a

967
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 7: snow game like that. If you had had some power

968
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,479
Speaker 7: running game like you had earlier in the year with JK. Dobbins,

969
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 7: I think that would have been fantastic for the team.

970
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 7: We'll go back to the phones and Tammy double in Ireland.

971
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:07,720
Speaker 6: What's up Timmy?

972
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 16: Hey Ryan?

973
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 18: How are you?

974
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 6: I'll doing great man?

975
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 18: Thanks for all on no worries, No worries, Yeah, appreciate

976
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:17,839
Speaker 18: all you guys do you know, for us over here,

977
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 18: we got our own TV coverage and then as soon

978
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,720
Speaker 18: as the game's over, I don't really pop on my phone,

979
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 18: pub on the app, listen to you guys, Dave and

980
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 18: yourself for the reactor after the game. So appreciate all

981
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 18: you do. And yeah, I'm I'm slightly on the pessimistic side,

982
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 18: if I'm being honest. I think a lot of things

983
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,959
Speaker 18: fell favorably this year. You have the one score games,

984
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 18: and I know you got to win them to get

985
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 18: to where you are, and the Broncos did that and

986
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 18: show character, and I just kind of and I will say,

987
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 18: I thought we were a bit ahead of where I

988
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 18: thought it we'd be in year two with bo. I mean,

989
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 18: the defense is obviously so good, but I just kind

990
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 18: of feel like next year, strength of schedule against US

991
00:50:55,040 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 18: and other teams you know that were you know, I'm

992
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 18: not too good this year. I think the likes of

993
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 18: the Bills next year, new coaching, I think the likes

994
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 18: of the Bengals with you know, outside of our division,

995
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 18: but like looking forward to trying to get back to

996
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 18: the championship game again, are going to be better and

997
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 18: the strength of schedule. As I said, it's going to

998
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 18: be tricky for us, and you guys have mentioned already

999
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 18: the cap space and things that we've got going in

1000
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,240
Speaker 18: our favor. But I guess stilling, it's been a great season.

1001
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 18: I'm just slightly concerned that there was maybe an opportunity

1002
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,399
Speaker 18: this year for us to get to the Super Bowl

1003
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 18: that we haven't quite taken for a number of different reasons.

1004
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 18: Obviously the game didn't go away today, the weather and

1005
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 18: so on, But like it's still positive. I'm still positive

1006
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:40,240
Speaker 18: on it next year, but I'm just kind of cautious

1007
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 18: in thinking that we will kick on from where we

1008
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 18: were this year.

1009
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 6: So yeah, man, listen.

1010
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 7: I think that's all great takes, and thanks for listening,

1011
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 7: and man, I really appreciate it.

1012
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 6: I say that's all fair.

1013
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,720
Speaker 7: You know, I've been pretty consistent saying that you probably

1014
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 7: aren't going to be able to win the same way

1015
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 7: that you won this year. Like the formula each and

1016
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 7: every year I think is a little bit different. Perfect

1017
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 7: point in case or case in point, I guess is

1018
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 7: the Chiefs last year won all of those one score games,

1019
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 7: and then it came to this year they just didn't

1020
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 7: have the same luck. The bal didn't bounce their way in.

1021
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 7: They obviously didn't even make the postseason. So if the

1022
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 7: Broncos are coming into this next year saying, well, the

1023
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 7: formula can be the formula from twenty twenty five, well

1024
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 7: that's probably a mistake. But there's still a belief within

1025
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 7: the team that if you are in some of those games,

1026
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 7: you maybe find a way to win them. So it

1027
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 7: doesn't mean you can't win some games that are close,

1028
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:34,240
Speaker 7: but yeah, you're gonna have to find some more tricks

1029
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 7: up your sleeve, and you hope for more growth, not

1030
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 7: only from your quarterback, from the rest of the offense.

1031
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 7: And that's an estimation that we have to put out

1032
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 7: there now. Again, it's all projection until we see otherwise.

1033
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 7: I'm going to ultimately, and I'm frustrated today by the

1034
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 7: way the game played out. I think a lot of

1035
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 7: Broncos fans are too. But I'm ultimately going to land

1036
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 7: on feeling better about this team long term beyond like say,

1037
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 7: the next few days. This one's stings, there's no doubt

1038
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 7: about that, but I think that we can have multiple

1039
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 7: conversations about, Okay, this one stings, and then also how

1040
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 7: does this project for the team into next year. Now

1041
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 7: we got text coming to engineer Ryan. Your optimism is

1042
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 7: not contagious at all. Broncos are a subpar team in

1043
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 7: twenty twenty six, nine to eight at best, right man,

1044
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 7: you can you can certainly have that opinion. And I'm

1045
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 7: not asking you to share in my optimism.

1046
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,439
Speaker 6: Quite frankly, don't. I mean whatever, I don't care.

1047
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 7: But what I'm trying to tell you is this is

1048
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:29,919
Speaker 7: where I'm coming from, and there are the Broncos fans

1049
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 7: that feel that way too. So you, along with your

1050
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 7: wet blanket, can you know, go have a pint of

1051
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 7: whatever with Ben Albright after the show, and I'm sure

1052
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 7: he's going to have a lot of negative takes as

1053
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 7: well at some point.

1054
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:41,839
Speaker 6: Love Ben.

1055
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 7: He actually picked the Broncos to win today, so a

1056
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 7: little bit different. Sindham play was the major reason the

1057
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 7: Broncos loss. Fumble that converted to seven in the interception

1058
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:55,479
Speaker 7: with the time running out. Interesting that play by play

1059
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 7: team or you have not admired that, well, I mean

1060
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 7: it's true, you know the fumble, which by the way,

1061
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:07,280
Speaker 7: was really close to being because it initially got called

1062
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 7: grounding and then they said no, no, it's it's a

1063
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 7: backwards pass that was fumbled, but it did look like

1064
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 7: Ellis got a hand on it, so it should have

1065
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:24,439
Speaker 7: been I don't know, it's really close, and it felt

1066
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:26,359
Speaker 7: like a call that could go either way. And then yeah,

1067
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 7: the interception late, I mean it was sort of tough.

1068
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 7: I mean, you were desperation time at that point. Yeah,

1069
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 7: you had to take some shots and you had to

1070
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 7: take some shots with your backup quarterback at that point.

1071
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 6: That's what that looked like to me.

1072
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 7: So you're right, those plays obviously were the thing that

1073
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 7: changed everything, but also at some level there was an

1074
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 7: acceptance of the limitations that you were going to have

1075
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 7: on offense, and I think we got into that into

1076
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:56,919
Speaker 7: the second half when you saw their inability to move

1077
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 7: the ball effectively. And that's just what happens, right, I mean,

1078
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,800
Speaker 7: I talked myself into and I wonder if the conditions,

1079
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 7: the weather conditions didn't end up being the case they

1080
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 7: were what it would have looked like with Jared Stidham

1081
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 7: over the course of the game. Let's just say it

1082
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:11,760
Speaker 7: was closer to what it was for the first half

1083
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 7: for the entirety of the game.

1084
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 6: Would he have had more success? Also with the Patriots

1085
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 6: have had more success.

1086
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 7: We'll never really know, but it certainly seemed to very

1087
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 7: much impact the Broncos offense. They didn't have the commisser

1088
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 7: at run game to be able to hang with the Patriots,

1089
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:27,839
Speaker 7: and the Patriots were able to kind of bludget them

1090
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 7: for a little while with Ramandre Stevenson and Trevon Henderson

1091
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 7: were both very talented running backs and take some pressure off.

1092
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 6: Plus Drake May has a lot of mobility.

1093
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 7: You feel like if bo Nix was in this game,

1094
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,760
Speaker 7: we would have seen both quarterbacks sort of trading blows

1095
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 7: back and forth with the rushing attack. That's what I

1096
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 7: would have expected to see. Thanks to the Broncos for

1097
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 7: a much better than last year. How much can they

1098
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 7: improve for next? Did I see something right before the game?

1099
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 7: Stidham had his kids out for a photo op. The

1100
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 7: one about three or four years old, looks like she

1101
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 7: was going to cry and didn't see any of that.

1102
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 7: Can you talk about losing VJ?

1103
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 6: That is huge?

1104
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, Ben, Ben thinks that VJ is going

1105
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 7: to be gone after this year, So we'll see a

1106
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,720
Speaker 7: lot of these jobs are kind of getting cemented. Imagine

1107
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 7: he'll get a couple of interviews this week and you know,

1108
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,479
Speaker 7: so we'll see what happens from there. The good news

1109
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 7: hopefully as far as if you're trying to maybe retain

1110
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 7: Jim Leonard as a potential replacement, both the Packers and

1111
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 7: the Giants defensive coordinator jobs were finalized today, so maybe

1112
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 7: there's a possibility of keeping things rolling on the defensive

1113
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 7: side of the ball with Jim Lyard sliding into that role.

1114
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 7: But we'll see kind of how the interviews go. It

1115
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 7: sounds like Davi's Webb is going to be a target,

1116
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,280
Speaker 7: a pretty significant target over the course of this week,

1117
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 7: and I don't know, there's a lot of momentum building

1118
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:51,439
Speaker 7: to him being a potential head coaching candidate this year,

1119
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,399
Speaker 7: which is pretty remarkable thinking that you know your quarterbacks coach,

1120
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,360
Speaker 7: assistant head coach and then he gets jump all the

1121
00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 7: way to head coach. But he's thought of that highly

1122
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 7: around league circles. Pretty good year overall, Sidham needed more

1123
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 7: actual real game play to get in sync with Sean

1124
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 7: Payton and they should not have used of all the

1125
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 7: time outs. Yeah, I ended up having to use some

1126
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 7: timeouts when you didn't really want to. That's certainly hurt,

1127
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 7: no doubt about that. It's kind of a weird game

1128
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 7: in the second half. You got a backup quarterback in there,

1129
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 7: and maybe some of the play calling decisions were based

1130
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 7: on that. Who knows, but yeah, in frustrating the second half,

1131
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 7: and if you would have gotten maybe another game with

1132
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 7: Sidham before this game again gifts and what, then maybe

1133
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 7: you would have give given him some more opportunity to

1134
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 7: feel more comfortable out there, perhaps say one more call

1135
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 7: before we take a quick break. Spencer in Colora, Springs

1136
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 7: is up next year on Broncos react with Ryan Edwards.

1137
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 6: What's up? Spencer?

1138
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 9: Hey, Ryan, I appreciate you guys all taking my call, Sir.

1139
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 9: I just want to say, like I, as a die,

1140
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 9: die hard Bronco fan, I do not put this game

1141
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 9: on Stidham. I thought he was okay. I thought he

1142
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 9: was okay. That big task Hende, the minims that touched

1143
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 9: down to sudden good stuff, Buddy. I've always been trying

1144
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 9: of a little critical of Sean Payton this whole season

1145
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 9: with his play calling. When I had all my family

1146
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 9: here in the house watching the game, and when they

1147
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 9: did not elect to take the field goal before the half,

1148
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 9: I looked at everybody in the room and I said,

1149
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 9: that's going to come back to buy them, and it did.

1150
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 9: You have to take the points. And it's and here's why.

1151
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 9: It's as much as son. Sean Payton looks at every

1152
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 9: detail for the game, all him and all those guys

1153
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 9: had to know him. The weather was going to get

1154
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 9: bad in the second half. The weather was decent. Your

1155
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 9: defense is kicking their butts. Take the point because if

1156
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 9: you take those points, it forces New England down ten

1157
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 9: to nothing to then play a completely different game. You

1158
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 9: miss it, or excuse me, beginn't miss it. You turn

1159
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 9: the ball over instead. It's still seven to nothing and

1160
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 9: New England is still in it. And it's Sean Payton's

1161
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 9: play calling that has just rubbed me the wrong way

1162
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 9: the whole time. In my opinion, Sean Payton is Dan

1163
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 9: Reeves two point zero. He's a five hundred football coach

1164
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 9: in the playoffs. Dan Reeves currently, if I looked at

1165
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 9: my stats right, he's one game better in the playoffs

1166
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 9: than Sean Payton. That's not overly impressive to me. To me,

1167
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 9: Bo Nicks is the one that drug this team to

1168
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 9: the spot that they're in. Sean Payton also got them

1169
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 9: to this point. He's done good things. I acknowledge that,

1170
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 9: but he also so has to be a better coach

1171
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 9: to get these guys over the hum. With that being said,

1172
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 9: now that Russell Wilson's contract will be out the books

1173
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 9: next year and they have some more money to spend,

1174
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 9: you have got to go out and get yourselves a

1175
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 9: tight end and a receiver. I love Courtland Sutton, but Bro,

1176
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 9: you're not a game changer. When Stidham threw that pass

1177
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 9: to him to put a lad to a first down,

1178
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 9: and who knows what happens after that, Stiven's pass was

1179
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 9: a little off behind on his left hip and he

1180
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 9: dropped it. Courtland Sutton, you're a number one guy. You've

1181
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 9: got to catch that. And where was Evan Ingram in

1182
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 9: this game and all season? That's the guy? And I

1183
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 9: understand they're limited where with the money they can spend

1184
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 9: to go out and get top in guys. I understand

1185
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 9: all that, but something's got to change in that in

1186
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 9: that regard for next season. And I also want Sean

1187
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 9: Payton like, Bro, You're like, you're a good coach, but

1188
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 9: you gotta make better decisions. And I know the goalposts

1189
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 9: move me myself. I was happy that they made the

1190
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 9: playoffs last year. My expectations going into this season was like,

1191
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 9: get to a wild card and win a wildcard game,

1192
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 9: and I'll be happy. They got to a divisional game

1193
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 9: against Josh Allen the Bills. They beat them outstanding. Now

1194
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:30,439
Speaker 9: the goal post move and like, let's go on from here.

1195
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 9: You can beat these guys, the Patriots, And I just

1196
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 9: feel like you all kind of just and I understand

1197
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 9: like with both being out that changes everything. I understand that,

1198
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 9: But I still feel like, Sean Payton, if you go

1199
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 9: for that field goal to go up tend to nothing

1200
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 9: over the Patriots when your defense is kicking their butts,

1201
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 9: it would have changed the way the Patriots played the game.

1202
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 7: Might have done that, might have just done that offense

1203
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:00,919
Speaker 7: for no doubt. Man, all right, thanks for the call.

1204
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 7: Three L three set one three eighty five eighty five

1205

Speaker 7: five six six nine zeros or ka common spirit health

1206

Speaker 7: text line. I kind of some salty Texters here. One

1207
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 7: one real quick one. You're a hypocrite for taking the

1208
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 7: Rams on Friday. Make sure you tell the fan base

1209
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 7: that you never believed in the Broncos. Listen, I mean,

1210
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 7: apparently you're hard of hearing. I'm not exactly sure what

1211
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 7: it is. I said, I picked the Rams to win

1212
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 7: the NFC Championship game on Friday. I picked the Broncos

1213
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 7: to win this game, and it would have been the

1214
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 7: Rams versus the Broncos. Now, I've said all season long,

1215
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 7: I did think that the strength of the NFL was

1216
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 7: in the NFC, So I would have maintained that. But

1217
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 7: you're in a one off game. Who knows what's going

1218
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 7: to happen. But no, I did not. I wouldn't have

1219
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 7: and I didn't pick the Rams to win the Super

1220
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 7: Bowl on Friday. I said they were going to win

1221
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 7: the NFC Championship. But again, you know education levels and

1222
