So many people to blame for the Broncos' latest loss, but two lead the list.
That mark seemed in danger early on, when Denver put up ten points in the first quarter, including a touchdown to new tight end Greg Dulcich during a drive when Wilson actually left the pocket and rolled out — a strength that he's generally avoided exercising with Denver, for inexplicable reasons. He also managed to complete a crazy second-quarter fling to KJ Hamler that set up a field goal, producing a 13-10 halftime lead.
But that was pretty much it for firepower. During the second half, Hackett returned to what has become his trademark play-calling pattern: frequently ineffective and totally unimaginative runs on first and second down, setting up a third-and-long situation that allows the defense to tee off on Wilson, generally resulting in either a sack or an incompletion.
Wilson was hardly an innocent victim in this sequence of events. While Chargers QB Justin Herbert, who was mostly held in check by an overworked but stellar Broncos defense, was able to get rid of the ball quickly while under pressure, thereby keeping the chains moving and eating clock, Wilson generally held onto the rock even when he had open receivers in front of him, effectively squandering one opportunity after another.
On Twitter, fans reacted with a blend of anguish, resignation and confusion about how badly things have gone. Here are twenty examples, with the final tweet expressing loyalty if not faith that the situation is going to improve anytime soon.I see our prolific offense has gone totally to hell ever since Peyton Retired. No excuse. This current offense totally sucks... Would Peyton want to be the Broncos OC? He would do a hell of a better job than Hackett is doing.
