We all suffered through two and a half quarters of “we waited eight months for this?” football! The Denver Broncos first-team offense looked no better than last year, and our starting defense hasn’t looked this bad since Mike Shanahan had us all convinced we were “one player away” from a Super Bowl run.
I’m not being pessimistic on our offense. The Broncos didn’t gameplan for the Vikings at all, and I have to think that the uninventive and putrid play calling and execution was a byproduct of this being preseason game 1 and them being vanilla for vanilla’s sake.
