Someone send up a signal flare...last week I saw smoke, this week I see fire. While the fan in me is always going to be proud of effort and fight when your team fights back from a really big deficit to be in the game in the closing moments, this performance was just as ugly as last week to my eyes.
“But Sadaraine, they only lost by 8! Last week they lost by 16!”
Right...but that’s only because the offense came unglued in the 4th quarter with desperation. The problem is those first three pesky quarters where it sure looked to me like Pittsburgh on defense were not surprised by much of anything the Broncos did on offense and on offense were dictating their game plan against Fangio’s constantly being one step ahead.
