All right we are live gotta let breathe just for a moment everybody’s going like wait what’s going on not only is it Christmas Eve but like the uh sorry I’m having to work around my little mini TV I’ve got in front of the the computer screen here

But we’re live welcome in everybody this is the gut reaction episode on Christmas Eve Mile High huddle podcast I’m your host Chad Jens with me you know him you love him my fellow football priest and partner in crime doing our best to Have a Holly Jolly Christmas Eve Zack

Kelberman Zack Broncos had the worst third quarter I think we’ve seen from him pretty much a stinker game from the get yeah inexplicably they’re two points away from tying this thing it’s looking like it’s a Brandon Johnson touchdown it’s under review what’s been your gut reaction so far my gut reaction was up

Until the last couple minutes the Broncos look like a team that either quit on Shawn pton Shawn pton quit on the team or they just don’t deserve to be in the playoffs I we’ve been saying that for weeks if you can’t beat bayy zap and the corpse of Ezekiel Elliott

Who you know is hurtling people and scoring touchdowns you don’t deserve to make the tournament but we’re in real time now and the Broncos are making a furious comeback so we’ll have to uh judge it accordingly Chad so it’s looking like the touchdown stands I hope I’m not spoiling this we’re doing a

Little watch along Broncos two point conversion they’re in a run formation it’s a play fake and they’ve got it they’ve got it they’ve got it and it’s a tie ball game Zack with two minutes and 53 seconds left to go I tell you what let me give you guys a little play

Byplay all right about 15 minutes ago real time top of the fourth quarter Mims fumbles scoop it up Scott’s like you guys might as well just go live early it’s Christmas Eve just go live like yeah collapse right Zack it’s going to be uh give up the Ghost typ type of

Storyline so we get a rolling we get the stream scheduled I mean we were going to go live at the at the final gun as we always do anyways but in the process it took to get the stream scheduled and get on camera right now Zack this game is

Tied I would not have guessed that seriously I would not have guessed in that time the Broncos would have put you know whatever it is uh two touchdowns and two two-point conversions 16 points on the board to get this thing tied like I’m I’ll I’ll tip my hat at least in

That they’re not going down without a fight they could still win this thing yeah they’ve always they’ve been the cardiac Broncos for much of the year I’m not surprised they’ve turned it on in the fourth quarter it’s and I don’t want to be a wet blanket like usual it’s just

Disheartening Chad that they that they dug themselves that deep of a hole to start the game and after that uh fumble by Mims and the touchdown it looked like it was a game from 2022 it looked like the hybrid of the Colts game from last year and the Rams game from last year

Suffice it to say those weren’t Pleasant uh viewing experiences I mean all the snaap food lose just put him aside for a second right now the fact that pton didn’t take that field goal at the top of this game uh is coming back to haunt them he’s done that a few times this

Season Zack were you scratching your head when he decided to just go for I mean I get the premise that hey we don’t think this offense can do anything uh you know the Patriots offense so we’re just going to go ahead and try and go for the touchdown expecting you to get a

Short field and that’s really how it unfolded they didn’t get it and they got a short field quickly got the ball back short field but still I was like going come on dude in a points at a premium it also looked like Sean pton didn’t have trust in his own offense and

Specifically Russell Wilson with the way he was calling parts of this game and again not surprising to see the Broncos turn it on in the fourth quarter but it’s like where is this Broncos team the first three quarters why does it take such a big deficit for them to wake up

It’s uh maddening this is a possession where I mean you got that early Christmas gift of a takeaway way to open this game on the Patriots first possession that was nice but this is where the defense can really deliver a Christmas miracle not just with a stop

But get a takeaway here get a takeaway get the ball back and let rusco win this thing it’s time for the defense to uh make up for a horrible horrible showing in that third quarter yeah with uh Vance Johnson leading the way as Rich Eisen keeps calling him he also called him

Rich Eisen did Jalil mlin about 40 times not the A+ announcing crew on NFL network but yeah they need the defense to got do what they were doing on the winning streak chat which is creating uh turnovers enforcing chaos you just got a negative play on second down nice play

By Alex Singleton to sniff out that screen so it’s gonna be something like third and 13 what’s up Mike the Ron in the house good to see you my friend merry Christmas to you whether this ends up being a victory or loss guys Merry Christmas uh all keep in mind or if you

Don’t celebrate happy holidays festiv us whatever it is keep in mind the purpose of uh the the the this season’s spirit all right and uh at least that’s what I’m telling myself Z absolutely yeah it’s it’s a game in the end there’s bigger things uh we all do with every

Day one of them being Christmas and we definitely appreciate each and every one of you win or lose starting with you Michael thank you so real quick when we’re grabbing Diamond uh zappy scrambles for a modest gain on Third and long comes nowhere close but there’s a penalty holding offense okay so the

Broncos are about to get the ball back uh diamond rattler my dog so good to see you the uh brainchild behind this rad pendant that I treasure right up here it’s so cool beads I’d show it to you but then I’d have to move a bunch of

Stuff my books might collapse it’d be a it’d be a potential disaster so Diamond love you big dog Merry Christmas he says to Chad and Zack and everyone salute to you both right back at you big dog I’m on that special eggnog so I might not

Make sense hey I don’t blame anyone for turning on the special eggnog uh tonight I mean it’s Christmas Eve a B you needed to kind of kill some pain a little bit and suppress some some probably deep-seated anger disgust embarrassment Zach I don’t I don’t fault anyone for

Any of that no have a good time and uh drink responsibly and hopefully we get to watch the Broncos uh pull this one out Chad be quite the uh the Christmas miracle as it were diamond and anyone else that’s had one or two just make sure you have reliable transportation if

You’re going anywhere else if you need to be uh make make your way home tonight George Fox in the house good to see you big dog says we look like our season was over but here we come not sure we want the playoffs this season mhh for light

Hey bro you always want the playoffs if they’re on the table go get them they’re still on the table Broncos are about to get the ball back Zack and they’re gonna have Russ about two minutes to try and make some hay they are on the table and

If they win this game it goes a long way toward making the postseason fortunately things broke in the Broncos favor today with some of the uh other teams in the AFC losing but again even if they squeak this one out they were a lot of their

Goodwill to me anyway they built up over the course of that winning streak uh was kind of evaporated today they’re going to have to come out the next two games to prove that they’re a playoff team and not just eeking by the worst of the worst because for three and a half

Quarters Chad this look like a bottom feeder not a playoff Contender Kendrick and by the way it’s a Touchback on the punt so the Broncos are gonna have to go a goodly distance with under just under two minutes Kendrick my dog so good to see you Merry Christmas brother says uh

Merry Christmas my guys mhh for Life Broncos country hasht of course Denver makes my blood boil lol but I love them I know man and this it’s like my brother and I you know the first half of this game I was watching it from my my family uh Christmas Eve party annual Christmas

Eve thing and he opine man everything just so everything just comes at a dear price nothing’s easy for this offense in particular like you could say that for the team Zach but look at least the defense who had its War the last couple weeks I’m not trying to absolve them of

That but at least this defense for a stretch anyway this season operated at an elite level we’ve not been able to say that about any form of Broncos offensive football since the sheriff was in town yeah a lot of the eliteness though was predicated on takeaways and

Uh other teams kind of crapping their pants against the Broncos not to take anything away from what Vance Joseph did a lot better than week three but the question that I could speak for myself I had is how was this defense it’s going to look when there’s games where the the

Other team doesn’t turn the ball over and against Detroit last week Chad as one example uh they were far from Elite they’ve gotten better I think more near the middle but still a lot of work to do so I missed what the penalty was they’re re kicking it and definitely going to be

Better field position ball just goes out of bounds somewhere around the 30 looks like the 39 is where they’re going to spot it Denver’s 39 so fortuitous all right penalty pushes the Patriots back Broncos don’t start from the 20 they’re getting about 19 yards on that so let’s

Go Russ a minute 42 uh Kendrick again thank you big dog but yes this is you know this is one of those games where you’re you’re going back and forth Zach through all kind of different emotions and and one of them especially is man here we were hoping for the Broncos

Getting out there doing what it takes to secure their what they can control relative to playoff Destiny but they don’t look like they deserve to even be on the field let alone in the playoffs and yet here they are minute 42 Destiny in their hands they can control

This thing at least this game really bizarre night Colby the Triple C good to see you big dog Merry Christmas right back at you says it’s loud at Mile High oh screen and what’s gonna oh loss on the first down uh Colby says bring back Mile High magic where was this team for

Three quarters though I know and that’s another thing Zach is like Shawn Payton’s dogged um I mean tip your cap in one sense like sticking to the run but at times it’s like hey you should have gone into this kind of backyard mode oh tip

Pass on second down a long time ago yeah and you were talking about how The Season’s taken different forms and I think this game perfectly encapsulates the Broncos season completely Jackal and high Chad I mean they can look amazing one week and play byplay game by game

And then look you know craptastic the next play the next game it’s uh Ed of your seat season for the Broncos and can I just point out can we get rid of the screen plays to running backs or anyone in part they just do not work for

Whatever reason we yeah the Broncos have just not been able to get that aspect of the offense going under Shawn pton in fact it’s been again I hate to bring it back all the way to the time of the sheriff but that’s how long it’s been

Since the screen did anything oh nice oh here we go come on baby got it nope incomplete on third and 13 they’re gonna punt they got a punt Matias what’s going on let’s this is rad up all night home in Sweden watching my Bron first time checking you guys live well welcome

Buddy glad we’re able to connect shows that Broncos country that’s right it is not a geographic location you’re Pro living proof of that U Matias Matias Matias it’s a state of being baby it’s wherever you are and this cats in Sweden where many of my ancestors hail from so

Welcome big dog thank you appreciate you making yourself known Scott says what’s better than a midnight game on Christmas Eve an overtime midnight game on Christmas Eve somebody get the ball somebody take the ball away Lawrence play design sucks how is Vance out coaching Shawn yeah I don’t know so much

Of this um Zack you know it’s like chicken or or the egg is it the play design is it the trigger man I think there’s there’s a little uh blame to be shared on both sides but a big part of me I give Russ’s props when the chips

Are down but I’m so tired of this t-bo esque stinking it up through three quarters three and a half quarters whatever it may be and finding a way to conjure miracles your luck runs out good teams don’t allow you to do that as was uh basically

A lesson learned by the TBO Broncos in 2011 when they met this New England Patriots team after stealing one from the defending Champion Steelers in the wild card they get to the divisional round and had reality served up to him on a on a cold platter I don’t think

Anyone’s out coaching anyone the defense they stiffened up so but so is the offense they’ve woken up in the second half but in the first half I mean uh jquan McMillian is probably having his worst game of the season Patrick certan was even getting kind of owned in

Coverage they let bayy zap go right down the field the defense is definitely not perfect if the Broncos go on to lose the defense should not be exonerated everyone kind of like last week and kind of like in 20122 a lot of stink surrounding a lot of people with

Different um culpability in this loss if they do lose this game but you know what if you’re amongst the throngs of of Broncos country in the stadium right now I mean it must be an elating feeling I’ve been there I know what it’s like you know like feeling like oh man we

Totally lost our chance at winning this one and all of a sudden here you are chips are down you got a chance the Broncos need a takeaway right now get a takeaway and win this game someone get the ball stuffed them on second and four

Maybe a yard so it brings up a third and three 47 seconds left Broncos have two timeouts for what it’s worth Zack the Patriots have one I think the Patriots are playing for overtime but the Broncos should get the ball back uh once more and maybe hopefully they don’t press too

Much if they had their pin back deep Russ doesn’t make a mistake he was a little willy-nilly with the football earlier Chad and they can’t afford obviously to uh suffer any turnovers this this late in the game uh scratch that sea just used one of the two

Timeouts to stop the clock at 47 seconds so we shall see how this bad boy uh shakes out it’s third and three how cool it would be to be able to actually have the game on screen for everybody a true true true watch along but we tried that one time and uh got

Locked out of our oh going for a shot and he got it he got it uh back shoulder on certan I’m telling you ceran has not had a good night and frankly he hasn’t had a very good season solid I would give him but he’s tonight they’re they

Haven’t been shy from going at him didn’t I just say I don’t think vj’s out coaching Shan the defense did not have his best performance tonight and it’s that typical VJ red flag Chad when you need them to get a stop in crunch time they let the opposing team March down

The field this kind of reminds me in real time right now of what Jimmy G did in week one to lead that game-winning uh drive when the Broncos lost to the Raiders yeah I’m touching wood as I hear you say that because I’m just thinking to myself well there’s still uh 18

Seconds left now New England just used its last timeout this kicker is obviously unreliable but he may get a chance at Redemption and I hate even contemplating that storyline Lawrence uh it’s plays that have not worked for us all season called multiple times like I’m surprised

Russ is still throwing in the end zone because the backat can’t get three yards it’s the story of our life yeah again like I come back to uh I come back to what it would look like with a a quarterback that was oh selling out oh caught the ball clock’s running

They’re going to try and clock this thing nine eight seven s seconds do they kick it now or do they try and they’ll try one more play no no no they’re trotting them out you got to kick it now yeah what’s the what’s the yardage on this from the 37 or

36 it’s either 53 or 54 it’s not the easiest kick in the world this is uh here we go ding dong all right guys uh he’s one for two on field goals tonight he made 33 Miss 47 miss badley you you must be a little ahead of

Us he missed this kick you’ve already seen it no I they were showing his highlights I said he missed badly okay and it’s good I can tell you right now game it’s good Redemption indeed we’re on a 24 yep business being in the playoffs you lose to bayy zappy last second oh harsh

2024 I tweeted about this earlier Zack that you know in big games you need your best players to make big plays and when they don’t it’s deafening the I mean the the the vacuum that gets created it’s unbelievable we could we could go through and list a number of the Broncos

Best players Zack that failed to really step up tonight but on this particular drive when the chips were down certan burned one-on-one in coverage once again was that Parker I want to say it was Parker again I I was talking while we were watching it so I’m not certain of

That but H harsh pton yep headset off that’s the ball game for you bellich yep eatting into that terrible record that he has against the Broncos uh trying to balance those scales Yep this one’s over gang you can’t put yourself in that hole I don’t care if you’re playing the

Patriots or playing the Chiefs or the Eagles or any team you can’t put yourself in that hole and expect to come out in the fourth quarter it’s just too little too late and they look like they ended the game like they looked to start the game Chad like you made a great

Point the players that you count on your foundational talents did not do enough that includes Russell Wilson that includes Pat San that includes the coaching staff from Shawn Peyton I don’t think they were necessarily ready for this game up for this game that includes DJ for allowing Bailey zappy to go down

The field on multiple occasions again it’s a collective failure and we can now remove the PW playoffs from our vernacular because even if they have a chance next week or the week after they do not deserve to be there period so short kick squib um Chris manherz grabs it takes a

Quick knee so the Broncos get uh 1 second opportunity from what is it there 25ish or was it 30 I I’m not sure on the spot H the Benny Hill theme music so uh yeah Zack you grab your little uh tiny violin I’ll get

Mine and uh oh this was a I’m tired of seeing this team play on Christmas I’ll be honest with you like last year it was a brutal it was the straw that broke the hacket back he was fired after that brutal Christmas game Christmas Day here’s Christmas Eve game you’re supposed to

Win oh harsh man Lawrence well the only thing I’m looking forward to tonight is cookies yeah Lawrence going to uh usurp Santa’s cookies and thank you for the big boy Stars my friend seriously appreciate it appreciate it um Scott say I made eight dozen yesterday hey Scott the baker if he was

An assassin or a gangster that’s what he’d be known as Scott the baker uh Zach I mean the improbability of this going anywhere but they did have one Miracle remember the miracle uh well it was end of half uh the Saints game H Mary no the

The the the Broncos Bears I want to say where Brandon Johnson came down with that hell Mary wasn’t at the end of the game it was not this time end of the half but this one man you’re you’re going to have to get a nice clean throw

And just pray to Santa Claus and every God that you believe in uh to come down with it but yeah they’re not even rushing so Russ is going to get all the all the space he needs and time to throw it here he goes now they’re giving him a

Little pressure two guys sticking around and Russ finally Chucks it got to the 20 incomplete all right let me get this shut off here this ignominy must be cleansed from my Christmas palette and we’ll reset here welcome in everybody it is the gut reaction episode of the mile high huddle

Podcast I’m your host Chad Jensen on this Christmas Eve with me as always my partner in crime you know him you love him Zack Kellman Zach as we see the real time uh people coming in the stats are about to explode on our live stream here

You’re uh you know there’s been a few people that been with us while we did a little bit of a watch along through the last like three and a half minutes but uh since this is going to be the beginning of what people are going to

Hear and whatnot for the uh on demand episode and what and a lot of people probably fast forward to this anyway on YouTube let’s let’s just recapitulate a few of these things we’ve already touched on your gut reaction so far to uh or your gut reaction tonight yeah

We’re on to 2024 officially we should collectively Vanquish the playoff word from our vocabulary because the Broncos are probably not going to get in now that was the final nail on their coffin and they don’t deserve quite frankly to get in anyway you come out on Christmas

Eve prime time game have to have it you’re at home you’re placing you’re playing the Patriots and bayy zappy and you allow him to go down the field kick a game-winning field goal Patrick certan was not good enough Russell Wilson was not good enough VJ was not good enough

Shawn pton was not good enough I said it twice this podcast I’ll say it for the third time like most losses in recent years this was a collective failure it wasn’t one individual the whole team didn’t look like they showed up for three and a half quarters and you can’t

Dig yourself that big of a hole and expect to always climb out doesn’t matter who you’re playing Chad I mean think about it even okay you don’t take the points um on on your first offensive possession you decide to go for on fourth down and you’re stuffed with

Another um easy to I mean just absolutely telegraphed we’re going to run the ball right here and they stuffed against you know one of the best rushing defenses in the league okay take that away oddly enough Broncos still win this game if not for a Marvin Mims fumble now

I don’t want to put this game on Mims he was just a a symptom of how things unraveled but again you the margins are so thin in the NFL and on got to Havoc games this is this is one of those the Patriots were relishing the opportunity

To play spoiler and you know Shawn pyton talked about earlier this week zacko use his word how bellich you know he’ll come in and loot you right and that’s exactly what happened he’s a grinch check the thumbnail of this episode of the mile high hle podcast bich stole Christmas he

Looted the Broncos even though you can argue Zach that they looted themselves they did and it was the same type of self- sabotaging the Broncos have traditionally employed the when the offensive line wasn’t bad Russell Wilson was bad and the running game was slogging along losing courland Sutton

Was a a death Nowell for this offense because it showed that when you take away cland Sutton this offense is very mediocre they don’t have any Star Talent outside of Sutton but again on defense when you had to have it it reminded me we talked about it while we were

Watching the game week one with Jimmy G when you have to have that stop where was the defense where was that that clutch takeaway even a sack something to impact the game they were Mia just like the rest of the team I am very disappointed and I’ll say I don’t think

It’s a hot take this loss stings more and is more embarrassing than week three yeah it’s uh open heart perjury indeed diamond rattler thank you for Super Chat number two tonight and the bridge of the Gap reference the feeling is uh despondence the feeling is tragedy it’s desperation for a moment there

Tonight Broncos made some hay too little too late it was a nice 16-point surge Zach but as you said too little too late Diamond thank you my friend appreciate you as we talked about uh Taylor real quick though jumping in saying one thing to say eight in a row very disappointing

Meaning eight seasons in a row with no playoffs indeed thank you for the super big dog Merry Christmas to everybody I know that might sound like I’m being uh you know I’m being a little cute I’m not I’m not be trying to be ironic I still hope everybody has a good Christmas Eve

Or finish to their Christmas Eve and a good Christmas tomorrow try and keep your mind on the on the reason for the the season whether it’s you’re celebrating Christmas happy holidays festive whatever it is keep your eye on that prize the Broncos are not going to

Be making the playoffs again Zack for as Taylor just pointed out the eighth straight season however uh if they don’t win another game you got a two game improvement Zack over last year’s finish with Shawn Payton and a quarterback named Russell Wilson making the kind of

Money he is not good enough I was I was expecting a four was like the floor of what I expected this to be Improvement wise over last season’s win total which was five five victories so I was expecting like nine is the floor and that’s still on the table you can go in

And beat the Chargers and the Raiders it’ll it’s very unlikely to Avail you relative to the playoffs but there’s still a chance you could finish plus 500 cold comfort Chad says so Russ is benched the rest of the year thank you for the Super Chat Chad appreciate you

Big dog what do you think Zach uh your answer for Mr Campbell here I I don’t think they’re gonna bench Russell Wilson they’ve sunk too much money into him and uh they’re gonna see what they can do last couple games make it work uh it

Would be it would create more Pro in my opinion create more problems than it’s worth putting in s him this close to The Season’s end with the Broncos still technically in the playoff hunt if they win their last two they could get in uh

Not to cut you off but let me posture it this way do you bench Russell Wilson knowing the playoffs are basically all but a very slim slim possibility I mean the to protect him from injury guarant that would guarantee his 2025 salary do you think their mind is on getting out

Of his situation because that’s the only reason you would do it is if you were already of a mind as a team Zach to move on from Russ I I could see the case for it but there’s been no inkling that they’ve even are thinking of of going

That route if they were considering that maybe again my opinion they would have benched Russ for a series or had s them warm up on the sideline there would be a little more uh breadcrumbs to follow if they were planning to go that route but Anything Could Happen Chad I’ll agree

With my partner here Chad Anything could happen it’s the NFL all bets are off nothing would surprise me in the league but uh um I don’t expect Russ to get B uh benched in order to protect him from his 2025 salary becoming guaranteed Patriot Tex in the house what’s up

Brother thank you says George pton the GM gotta go I won’t bag on Russ tonight but he is not the answer has mhh for lifee look Zack it was a nice uh little reprieve and it did rekindle some hope that I had lost in Russ the five-game

Win streak and winning six out of seven but I told you guys you know when I come off of something it’s for a good reason and I was holding on to Russ being the short-term answer for this team you know he’s already 35 so it’s not like you can

Expect him to be there for another 10 or 15 years but a guy that you could Zack count on to kind of Usher in the first three four years of the Shawn pyton era and then pass the torch and I came off of that after the week five loss to the

Jets which was one of several very humiliating losses I mean a loss sucks it hurts sometimes hyperbole sneaks in and people make more about it or of it than than it is or was in that case it was an utterly humiliating loss Russ was a big reason for it all the smack talk

From Shawn pyton that he failed to back up and then you look at how the Jets season unfolded and it only adds insult to injury but I’m I’m sorry like I still even that short streak notwithstanding the five wins Etc I just don’t see how Russ moves this team forward it feels

Like even though he has a pension for making plays Zack when the chips are down late in the game overcoming obstacles overcoming big um you know gaps and and score uh deficiencies Etc I just feel like it’s kind of holding the team back one way or another and you

Gota I just think this if if I think that as a guy who covers the team and talks about it every day and writes about it every day what do the guys that are dealing with him every day think I mean it’s got to be sometimes there’s

That too close to see thing but not guys who are making you know this is what they are getting paid to decide and recognize and understand and plan for and hedge against Etc so I don’t I seeing this outcome tonight I’m a little bit more open to the possibility of them

Maybe choosing not to bring him back next year but again the penalty for moving on from him is so extreme they might not have a choice especially Zack for team that’s already over the cap in 2024 yeah Russ wasn’t the answer tonight he hasn’t been the answer in some of the

Broncos losses um personel speaking though Chad you know Jonathan Harris isn’t the starter at or the answer at defensive end Josie Jewel or Singleton they’re not the answer at inside linebacker I mean what’s going on at tight end what’s going on at right tackle there are major Personnel

Deficiencies and I do believe George Payton if they kind of te Peter out to end the season he’s going to fall on the sword but then again George Payton not to ex honor him but he’s not the one on the sideline making those calls he’s not the one with questionable um tactics to

Get the team ready for a game there’s a lot that we can criticize Shawn pyton for Chad he’s certainly not blameless in these defeats I mean the team is looks so much more competent um even amid some of these just terrible outcomes compared to any of the recent I mean compared to

Any coach since kubak um but it still hasn’t been enough and I think some of the limitations we’re seeing they are real and I do think the quarterback situation is a part of that Deanna the lady d jumping in with a very very generous Super Chat tonight love you

Appreciate you so much Deanna all that you do for us here and we wish you a Merry Christmas despite tonight’s disappointment she says so sad on a game we should have won Merry Christmas Chad Zack and also to your families give our best to your family as well lady dmh for

Get the full amount Zach on a on a Christmas Eve uh that helps the football priest that goes a long way my dog thank you Chris love you big dog seriously I was going to say thank you Xander and thank you Chris for your generosity that’s before we saw uh that level of

Generosity you’re unbelievable Chris one of the OG’s and we hold you in in such high esteem high regard the merriest of Christmas is the happiest ofid H with you and your family thank you so so much yeah I’ll send you we’ll send you a little care package a post Christmas

Care package bro seriously thank you my dog love you uh especially for someone who’s got such roots with us uh goes all the way back to year one of us doing this as a live stream I mean Zack and I have been stream podcasting together since

2018 um but the live stream thing began September of 19 and I don’t remember I remember you being there in Year One dude you’ve been there from the beginning you’ve made it out even though you don’t live in Denver you made it out to the a meet and greet we got to meet

Your wife so cool and you’re part of this the fabric of this community my brother and we love you a big part of the fabric Chris thank you so so much again man sometimes that you know people want us to just jump right back into football but that level of just support

And generosity and passion like we have to not have to like we want to recognize it that’s what we do here love you Chris n jumping in also very generous Super Chat another one of our great um figure heads of the community says hey brothers devastating lots of fault to go around

But losing to that team at home in a must-win this is the worst loss in years all we can hope for now is a winning season I don’t know what Payton does this off season but this is soul crushing it is soul crushing Zach and it

Could be a pivot point you know it’s like you were saying we haven’t seen any indic unless you want to really go down the uh paranoia Rabbit Hole of sha kind of sideline breakdown last week in Detroit I think that was just heat of the moment but we have seen no

Indication leading into tonight and including tonight that the Broncos are not thinking Russ 2024 and Beyond but this is the type of game that changes things that could change things anyway is what I’m getting at um and if the Broncos weren’t already Zach so over the

Cap for 20 24 I mean they’re already looking at having to cut a lot of fat and change a lot of things up and you know cut people ask for restructures that’s with or without Russell Wilson so you would further be handicapping the team so to speak if you move on from him

What is it Scott 85 dead over the next two I want to say combined something like that if you move on from him so if it weren’t for that Zack I would I would probably be thinking that you know what Shawn Payton wants his own guy Russ is

Showing you the limitations Etc but that still is a very mitigating factor it’s one thing to lose to Detroit or Houston or Miami it’s another thing to lose like this in in this fashion it reminds me Chad of 2017 I think it was 2017 that they were facing the Broncos were of the

Giants who were winless on prime time at home in a game they pretty much had to have and they came out in no- show this was the same exact result but in terms of Russell Wilson I just can’t see Shawn B on him when you’re not technically eliminated yet the Broncos still could

Get in if miracles happen and I don’t know the message that that would send would be a positive one if hey if you’re highly paid and at the first moment of adversity Shawn Payton’s gonna pull you regardless and play your backup I just can’t I I don’t think he can make that

Move yet not with the Broncos still technically in in it I mean it would take a season ending injury to Rob them of you know the whole salary guaranteed for 2025 in case of injury thing but they’re already on that hook anyway for so much of his salary so it’s like they

Don’t really have much to lose besides just continuing to play him seriously like they don’t really have that much to lose because that contract really is an albatross around this team’s neck uh Grover jumping in brother good to see you he says ho ho oh no ugly Krampus

Just gutted us on Christmas Eve but I hope tomorrow brings more joy to y’all much love and Merry Christmas MH for Life same to you big dog and that’s to everybody I still hope everybody has a merry Christmas and I think you will once you burn out the hormones from

Tonight’s col I mean just colossal disappointment Sam bam brother thank you buddy says oh Merry Christmas guys I know harsh man harsh it’s also about complexion of how you lose a game Zach uh Brandon thank you on Facebook Merry Christmas thanks for being on tonight thanks for being

With us man seriously um it’s also the complexion of how you lose a game everyone’s fingerprints are on this one you know you what was it the phrase you brought up again about Shawn pton uh the stinks on everyone’s fingers right something he said well let us let us

Count the number of fingers that you can detect that stink on tonight coaches the offense obviously the defense obviously special teams long field goal but you gota you gota hope to make a I mean you gotta expect make a 57 yard field goal reigning AFC uh special teams player of

The month uh the defense and more ways than one I mean that horrible third quarter then you allow him to go down and get that last Drive the offense I mean everyone stunk tonight and the expression is dirt on everyone’s hands or everyone’s fingers I

Don’t know why I keep saying stay no no no there is a there whole topic was regular for Shawn Payton up until the game started about last season and how many people share complicity because the questions were always about Russ it always started with hey how much of is Russ savable right

Can you fix Russ and he would uh reject the premise of Russ needing saving and saying hey no everyone shares complicity I promise you there is a quote of him saying stink on everyone’s fingers I think it was the Jarrett Bell I think it was the Jarrett Bell uh USA Today you

Know the whole hacket thing all I know is every time I say that I feel like my intrusive thoughts are winning and it shouldn’t be aired on this podcast CH but anyway yeah I mean we knew that the defense would kind of be back to Mid the

Offense is unreliable as ever but when the Special Teams which we complement on the breakdowns each and every week when Marvin Mims implodes it’s one of those games but you can stomic when one of those games happens like last week against Detroit or a few weeks ago against Houston those are Bonafide legit

Contenders the Patriots this iteration of the Patriots they are not contenders they are one of the worst teams in the NFL and you come out on prime time at home and look like that unacceptable it was embarrassing it really was uh James thank you buddy

Merry Christmas T says Russ has to go 84 yards through three quarters I know I tweeted about that I don’t care pardon me about the last two drives reminded me of TBO also we won’t make the playoffs because we lost to the Raiders Jets and commanders sad I know right um that

First frame that first quarter it’s one of the things that still annoys me about going to 17 is you can’t technically call it a you can’t break it down by quarter uh it’s not even anymore but still your point yes the the Broncos we knew just by looking at the schedule

Before things started Zack hey you got to make hay on that first that first frame we’ll call it uh which included as James points out here the Raiders uh the commanders jets in week five you crap the bed on Christmas Eve uh you know you you double crap the bed Patriot text

Merry Christmas guys hopefully Santa brings us a playoff team next year yeah it’s going to be interesting to see what kind of where we go from here decisions are made in this front office because I just think that I mean again we’re talking about Shawn pyton here Zack like we’ve seen

The kind of hay quarterbacks make with Shawn pyton not I mean obviously Drew Brees yeah future Hall of Famer that’s going to be a thing but like the record he had with Teddy the record he had with jamus Winston the record he had with the I always forget this kid’s name dude the

White kid quarterback from BYU Hill thank you I always botch that thank you both Scott as well um and then Russ you get stretches of Brilliance but never consistency I don’t think Russ has had a full 60 game solid performance this season I mean he’s had when you look at

The box score Zack hey he’s had games where he doesn’t throw a pick and doesn’t turn it over and they’ve won a game but not you’re not looking at a quarterback that is able to put a team on his back jump out early at at no point ever when the Broncos take the

Field Zack is a fan Under the Sun amongst the throng of Broncos Country the world over ever comfortable that this thing’s in hand I mean it just yeah and not to say that you uh that fans deserve that or that that should be a thing but Russell Wilson has

Not fully realized what I expected potential wise under Peyton his touchdown numbers are there Etc that’s the only thing you can really point to Zack as a as improvement over last year I still think it’s fair to say hacket broke him yeah we have James Moss

Hopping in $20 super thank you so much James he goes Russ is only good when the play breaks down and he’s rolling out that’s not an offense he got lucky in Seattle with that defense people want to blame Shawn Payton for play calling but if Russ can’t run the plays who is

Really to blame my view on it it there’s certain games where Russ looks like not back to Prime Russ but a quarterback that you can definitely win with a quarterback you can succeed with there’s other times like tonight where every part of his game from his pocket presence to his

Mechanics to his his arm they just fall apart and he just Withers Under Pressure he runs laterally he doesn’t move up the offensive line doesn’t help but we’ve all come to the realization and maybe I could speak for you Chad because I know we’re too the bigger Russ guys out there

They have to have another quarterback in 2024 at least on the roster it doesn’t mean you have to cut Russ or uh go out and usurp him from day one but this is a team that’s being held back by who’s under Center the play calling could be

Better the game planning could be better the defense could be better there’s Personnel issues but it all starts with the quarterback and I’m a big Russ guy but in losses like tonight it is glaring when bayy zappy out plays you that you need help in that area can’t disagree Ryan thank you so

Generous my friend appreciate you on Christmas Eve Merry Christmas says what’s up priest in Broncos Country let’s be honest we were getting ourselves up with false hope this team with Russ is too inconsistent and we would not do damage in the playoffs I’ve always had hope and always will here’s

To you guys in 2024 right back at you brother thank you Ryan no no no I don’t think we had I mean it in in hindsight it’s now proven to be a false hope right hope that was at least unrealized but when you battle back to 500 uh Zack

After a one and5 start and literally put yourself in the midst of the playoffs it’s not Beyond The Pale to start thinking playoffs I mean that’s a loser mindset to get to that point and not start putting that into the equation like you have to project it as the team you have to

Project that as not only a possibility but a probability and as guys covering the team when it becomes mathematically possible of course it becomes part of the conversation but it is unfortunate Zack that as Ryan Wes here now in retrospect through the lens of uh the fullness of the season

And actual fact our hopes did turn out to be false but that does not mean they were unfounded no thank you Ryan first of all Merry Christmas very appreciative that you’re tuning in with us tonight I agree with you Chad when the Broncos go back to 500 it was a fresh brand new

Season clean slate and they’ve had major tests major barometer games since getting back to that uh you can again you can stomach the Texans loss that was kind of one that that cracked the dam the Detroit loss okay Detroit’s a really good team this year but tonight that was the death nail

For the Broncos season because you couldn’t afford to have it happen and New England is not anywhere near the same level as the other teams so I don’t think it was false hope but I do believe and I’m guilty of this as well during the winning streak we all um

Romanticized the Broncos a little better than they actually were in reality I think part of that too was um just the magical run that the defense went on relative to takeaways it it really covered so many holes that uh and it was so extreme and how productive it was

That was easy to buy into um but pragmatists like Nick you know Nick Kendall was like hey this is something it’s not going to last forever and of course we knew it wouldn’t last forever but um I think that did kind of inflate people’s view Sherry thank you

We’re going to start rapid fireing here Sherry says on Facebook this was a team loss gaps everywhere but the play calling was boring and conservative why can’t we play explosive from the beginning like we do in the with 10 minutes left in the game Merry Christmas

To us she goes on to saying to think if we won tonight I was driving to Denver next week to go to the game not going to get my um money now saved me a lot of money probably waste my money I was what me you’re saying but well saved your

Trip anyway huh Sher but try and have a Merry Christmas I mean I’m really disappointed for everybody in Broncos Country who was like man just deliver a dub for us here that’s all we can ask for um and really kind of kick your Christmas off right and now two years in

A row you got negative feelings on on Christmas a Christmas Day embarrassment Christmas Eve embarrassment Deuce from New Orleans from n thank you for the super my friend good to see you um yeah it’s just one of those I’m these are the kind of sick feelings you have in the

Pit of your stomach Zach over that become so familiar over the preceding seven years ah Josh Ross Russ isn’t to blame for everything didn’t call he didn’t call those run plays before uh the T touchdown Drive offense slow until needed where is the sense of urgency

That part yes you put on the coach as far as you know how the plays are called Zack but I think he’s he realized a long time ago that you know that whole backyard thing when the chips are down it can work if you try and make the

Backyard let’s be you know run out there and let Russ just kind of fly around and find people streaking open good defense that’s also uh not a recipe for Success just like a quarterback who I have zero memories literally Zack maybe there’s a play someone could dig up and find but

As a Bronco I have zero memories of Russell Wilson ever climbing the pocket when the pressure comes he either stays where he’s at and like you know try or he turns around bails out the back he never tries to climb up to buy that extra second or two that it

Might give him to make the throw and I think I’m only saying that because and then Raj I’m gonna grab you I’m only saying that because I think part of the dogged determination or what is perceived by fans and media of this boring uh stubbornness to stick to a

Certain brand of offense by Shawn pyton I think I think part of that is him just knowing that I he recognizes the limitations of his quarterback yeah it wasn’t all on on Russell I mean I feel like I’ve been saying this in every Broncos lost the

Last two seasons it wasn’t all on Russ but there’s times uh where there’s no other culprit but Russell Wilson it just wasn’t good enough from a schematic standpoint from an execution standpoint but we’ve had more evidence now under two different regimes that kind of point to saying maybe uh the offense would be

Better with a different quarterback and a different skill set under Center that’s a fair argument to make now Raj thank you buddy gentlemen I can’t get past the fact that we didn’t just kick a field goal on the first series thoughts yeah this is something we’ve already I I mean it bothered me

Because I this game had all the makings of a rock fight with just how inconsistent the offense for Denver is and how dominant that rushing defense is for the Patriots this had all the makings of a rock fight and in a rock I mean period in the NFL Zack points come

In a premium yada yada but especially in a rock fight game you got to take those points when they’re there and uh so yeah I was shaking my head I was upset about it in the moment Zack and hoped that it wouldn’t come back to haunt him turns out what did they lose

By three points yeah questionable for sure but they never should have been in that position against a pretty bad Patriots team at home in a prime time must-win situation but we have fa coming in $49.99 super thank you so so much fa hope you and your family are having a

Great holiday season Merry Christmas um this one stings fellas but this team has heart PS2 needs to wake up Parker owned him on multiple occasions Russ needs to stop running in a sacks step up in the pocket and launch the ball take a chance like usual Chad we and we tend to agree

With what uh fa’s viewpoints were of the game and those are the big problems because those are your guys that you count on Ross on offense and PS2 on defense those are your leaders uh they’re your captains and they were bad for the majority of the game tonight and

It just proves that that you can have a bad game but you have to have someone to pick that person up and on offense or defense when courland Sutton came out for example if a $245 million quarterback can’t make everyone else around him better or can’t make another

Receiver stand out after losing your one then he’s a little overpaid if PS2 if if there’s no other person in the secondary that can make a play and PS2 gets exposed they’re not as good as we thought they were so fa the realization and the resignation it’s it’s pretty painful

Once again I’m going to say this if in the big games you need your best players to make big plays and when it doesn’t happen it is going to cost you and PS2 he’s kind of been you know you talk about fa needs to wake up he’s kind of

Been sleepwalking through most of this season if I’m being frank and listen if my brother was sitting next to me right now I was at a Christmas party for the first half of the game he would he would confirm this but before things started going sideways for

The Broncos as the game was getting going I expressed this opinion to him he could confirm that Patrick ceran you know he might get lucky Zack and get a pro bowl off of the juice of his name but he’s he’s not making all pro um he’s not had a good season average he’s

Mostly lived off his reputation and the teams that decide to disregard the reputation and have attacked him this year more often than not Zack they’ve eded um yeah and thank you Scott a pro bowl will cost the Broncos almost three million more uh on a pat San fifth year

Option which of course is going to get extended they’re going to pick up his fifth year option when the time comes but PS2 has not had a good year and just again tonight so many of the players Broncos best players failed to step up and make big plays offensively you lost

One of your best players in courland Sutton obviously but Russ too little too late uh where was Jerry Judy he’s a first round pick supposed to be one of your best players javante Williams outside of a couple of runs once again running into contact three yards in a

Cloud of dust I could think of one run tonight scratch that two runs outside of the goal line where he did more than you know the three yards in a clouded dust thing defense PS2 smoked in critical situations where was Justin Simmons I mean Jonathan Cooper made one play that

I can remember he did get a sack but DJ Jones one big player that gave you up big play uh big player in the sense that he’s paid as a big player did give you that one takeaway early Jordan Merry Christmas fellas I’m lost for words it

Seemed we tried to overlook the Patriots and screwed around with bad play calling also PS2 giving up that big pass play was so disappointing yeah and I was thinking about what kind of maybe my point was a little unclear but if if you take away Patrick ceran and that’s why I said If

We R re romanticized the talent level or how good they were playing I mean opposite them jquan McMillian who had a bad game tonight undrafted free agent PJ lock who we all L during the winning streak playing for Kareem Jackson undrafted free agent there’s third and fourth and seventh round picks littering

The defense speaking to them exclusively there’s a talent deficiency issue and my reality my takeaway is Chad this team is not nearly as close as I thought they’d be I was talking maybe 11 and five or or 12 and or I’m sorry 11 and six 12 and

Five to start the season and now like we’re limping to maybe nine and eight it’s again very frustrating reality you just don’t have the front seven Talent defensively um they can Flash occasionally but especially on the dline and your R your rush like every Rush linebacker the Broncos have Zack are

Would be great number twos or solid number twos good number twos to have but when you’re relying on them to be the guys it’s just hasn’t come out in the wash well amongst the many needs this team has has is a true kind of Batman style caliber I should say uh

Edge rusher and Von Miller’s not walking through those doors you know anytime soon I mean like old version Prime version vaugh Michael says uh 5% with the loss against the Patriots the Broncos have 5% chance at the NFL play yeah it’s over I mean it’s over Lady D

Jumping in again love you so much she says Merry Christmas Broncos country like share and subscribe hash mhh for life that’s a great message thank you please uh take heed to what the lady d has to say give us a like at the very least helps us out if you’re on YouTube

Facebook share it out subscribe all that good stuff thank you Dean fa another top rope super like Lady D more than once tonight he says can we stop giving Russ credit for getting out of messes he created this is an interesting point here Zack he creates a lot of his own

Mess take a look at what the Browns are doing with Joe freck and flacko Merry Christmas fellas you two Scott Merry Christmas right back at you big dog and yeah it goes to show you that teams that Zack are willing to kind of play hard and fast with NFL custom you know like

The Browns it’s NFL custom would dictate you don’t even though you signed this guy Joe flacko this busted down it’s over for this guy quarterback you just and you lost your number one you just continue riding with the guys who were there for training camp were there all

That stuff not not stefansky not the Browns they’re shaking things up because you know the mother of of uh invention is necessity Etc all that stuff they kind of were in a situation where it was adapt or die and that coaching staff had the cashews to say no we’re going to try

And evolve here and and it butts up against NFL custom and Convention but we’re going to try to do something most teams don’t do and it’s paying dividends for them and hey look at Joe flaca who in Denver anyway looked like he had nothing left and here he is doing his

Thing I mean 300 yards three touchdowns 300 yards three touchdowns Joe flacko who would have th it yeah I’ve been I’ve been watching some uh Browns games recently because I have aari Cooper in fantasy shout out Johnny not Bravo with Cooper putting up 58.5 today in of the

Semi-finals but it was a situation where Chad that running game is better than the Broncos running game that offensive line as a whole is better than the Broncos offensive line miles Garrett on Cleveland’s defense is light ears better than anyone the Broncos have on defense uh their defensive coordinating and staff is

Better than the Broncos defensive staff and you can argue at times stefansky his play calling and his preparation is on par with Shawn pyton no two no two situations are the same but I have a feeling I could have went in there Chad you could have went in there and

Quarterback the Browns to a few victories but if you watch the games Amari Cooper fights for the passes Elijah Moore fights for the passes David and joku fights for the passes where is that tenacity who wants the ball that much in in Denver except for courland Sutton Brandon Johnson Lucas koll it’s

The scales are too unbalanced Lawrence how many problem children we were how many problem children we were up for grabs this year at the wide receiver position that could have made an immediate impact that we skipped over so how many problem children that were up for grabs this

Year at wide receiver that we passed over because they problems own children that could have made an immediate impact um I don’t know man but you know that’s one of the fair points to make here like we Marvel at what Joe flacko is doing but Zach as you as you uh kind of

Illustrated there he does have Amari Cooper and you go ah well Russ has courland Sutton well not tonight he didn’t um and I mean even just watching that Dallas game earlier before the Broncos I’m thinking to myself once again it’s like hey there was a wide receiver the Broncos could have taken

But decided to take Jerry Judy I mean what I wouldn’t give for that cat right now to be sporting yeah orange and blue I mean seriously CC lamb baller uh Jess thank you bro uh we’ll still be here regardless of the wins and losses appreciate that bro because we will too

  1. Cut Russ, cut Singleton, trade Sutton, trade Simmons, trade Jeudy, trade Patrick, trade Dulcich, trade Javonte, cut McGlinchey, cut Powers, fire Payton, fire Paton, fire VJ, and give Stidham the keys to the kingdom and pray to the football gods that he can be at least average.

    Blow it up and look to 2025 for a chance at the playoffs. Fùck this team. Pissed.

  2. Sutton for Parsons and a 1st round pick, Jeudy for a 80th pick, Patrick for a 200th pick, Dulcich for a 60th pick, Javonte for a 50th, and see if you can Aaron Donald for a third rounder.

    DT, RT, CB, WR, TE, and some depth players.

  3. The refs did everything they could to give the win to the Broncos. Penalty on the Pats punt….the Mims "catch" was the biggest call we got our way. That very well could have gone the other way because the nose of the ball hit the ground first. That call completely changed the momentum to Denver's side. However, the Broncos kept getting in their own way. Russ cannot see the wide open receivers. Holds the ball too long. His stats are extremely misleading.

  4. I'm glad the Broncos playoff talk is over. If they hadn't gone on that crazy win streak, it would have been better. Talent-wise, the Broncos are a .500 team that needs a lot of new players. I'm excited to see the team blown up and rebuilt.

  5. This was a Trap Game. Historically the Broncos have not Won Christmas Week past 8 Years. Enjoy the Offseason, there no way the 5 teams ahead of them loss out. Best Christmas/ Bday Present. Sutton wont be back next 2 games

  6. Russ cooked the Broncos with his contract, and Sean knows that. Aside from that. This team has many flaws, lack of pass rush, below average O-line, and D-line, receivers get no separation, basically we suck and we don’t have the talent to turn it around for many years to come.

  7. This game was "INCOMPLETE." Marvin: "Don't call me Ernest Bynor." Mims didn't help. As Red Auerbach said, the toughest thing about being at the top is staying there. It sure was loud, especially when the BOOS kept up. It would have been tougher if the Bills didn't have 12 men on the field and Putz missed the FG.

  8. Zach is so loyal to Paton it’s bizarre. He built the team and it’s massively void of talent, major issues in the draft and Paton then overpays positions he neglects. You do you Zach. Sheesh

  9. There is no talent on this team other than Sutton and losing him really showed how conservative this team is. Brandon Johnson did well, but other than that…the Broncos truly has no weapons. Sad sad back to back Christmas disappointment. Side note, get rid of the white helmets, we're 0-2

  10. The defense carried this team during the 5 wins. It was unsustainable. This offense did little, now that the d came back to earth, our 1 and 5 is the truth.

  11. Oh man, such a great game. This was just two old school coaches in a battle. Broncos fans should have patience because this team did not give up and scored two 2 point conversions, played with a lot of heart. I think you build on this year, otherwise it could turn into a qb carrousel again.

  12. You could see that Bill Belichick has great respect for Russ. They spoke quite extensively after the game. It made me wonder if Belichick, the legendary coach who called Russ the best QB in the game over the past decade, might want to bring Russ to N.E. Russ deserves better than the h3ll he’s living in in Denver.

  13. LOL…Broncos fans (some) are never satisfied win or lose… seems to me the fans should just play among themselves and not have a team period. They're never satisfied.. NO MATTER WHO COMES AS A QB OR PLAYER, THEY WANT BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR DENVER…ESPECIALLY IF THEY LOSE A FEW GAMES, OR ANY GAMES lol…Real Broncos fans are there win or lose…yes I agree, some criticisms and critiques are needed and warranted, but some of you act as if RUSS PLAYS ALL BY HIMSELF…A 1 MAN TEAM… This team hasn't done anything much in many years BEFORE RUSS, and seems to have been a dumpster fire that SOME OF YOU FEEL AND EXPECT RUSS TO PUT OUT ALL BY HIMSELF…SMH…and stop worrying about what he's paid…he's earned it and well worth it..other qb's are paid just as much , OR MORE, and are not having no better season than Russ and they are YOUNGER ( hence most of you think Russ is old and washed)…and Russ' stats are greater and NUMBERS DON'T LIE…now, a lot of you feel he needs to go and is trash…but his trash is someone else's treasure…I hope he does get away from Denver period…he deserves better than all the hate, vitriol, and disrespect that is given and shown to him…this is just my humble opinion…calm down it'll get better.. this team has come a long way, and they certainly have a ways to go!! Support them!!Go Broncos!! Go Russ

  14. Raider,commanders,Jets, Texans & Pats all wins we should have Won. We have no identity. We can’t run , no passing attack. Defense is inconsistent as well. This off season we need to figure out what kind of team we will be. Can’t be consistent with no Identity.

    Crazy part we won this far with no identity.

  15. Sean Payton sabotaging this team so he can get his QB in there…nothing but run run pass for 3 and a 1/2 quarters then go down score 2 tds and 2 2pt conversions like nothing. Then calling time outs to let the Patriots go down and kick a field goal to win…how many game have they flipped a switch and scored when they had to…that's BS to a fan base that haven't even tasted hope in 7yrs

  16. We also would’ve won the game if we would have kicked a field goal at the beginning of the game… We had two opportunities… That’s on Sean
