This was an awful call. Flipped the game.
NFL Thread 2026-2027
I must say I love the fact that even though this is a general NFL thread, it has basically evolved into a Denver Broncos thread.
Broncos had 24 passes and 4 runs at halftime. The score was 3-3.
JK Dobbins was really mad.
The offense is getting concerning.

Bo Nix had 9 passes of 10+ air yards. Only one of them was a completion (Pat Bryant).
It’s staggering how much worse the offense is despite:
1) adding Jaylen Waddle
2) getting Dobbins back
3) returning everybody from an OLine everyone had #1

Waddle: 185 yards / 26 targets = 7.1
Bryant: 133 yards / 12 targets = 11.1
Sutton: 86 yards / 22 targets: 3.9
Bryant has 9 catches in 12 targets.
Sutton has 9 catches in 22 targets.
Bryant needs to be WR2 at minimum.
ROBBED:
As a border conclusion, this should serve as a lesson to all Illini fans.
In the rare instance you get a favorable call (like Denver did against the Rams), NEVER apologize for it because it might be you getting screwed the very next game.

Broncos need to win convincingly. Chargers are the worst team in the NFL with all those injuries:
I don’t know how true this is, but Payton expected to take back play calling:
None of Bryant, Surtain, Moss are expected to be on IR, but they’re not expected to play against Chargers.
May have escaped avoided worst case scenario, but still a lot to figure out with that offense.

Very stupid league
i watched it unfold live and was simultaneously confused and entertained like ive rarely been during a football game
We need Devon Witherspoon to come back and do a tackling clinic for our players.
Dan Quinn might have outdid his Super Bowl LI choke job with this one.
Witherspoon still self identifying from Pensacola, and not the beloved on SNF.
Sadface.
Sadface.
Has he been back to C-U since he was drafted? I think the coaches went out to Seattle last year, right?

Dan Campbell went full moron late in that game yesterday & got away with it. I understand risk but I'll never understand a coach going for it on 4th & 1 inside his own 30 in last 5 minutes of a tie game. Just pure insanity.

Next Gen stats had it as a toss up decision. If you punt, there’s a chance that you never get the ball back. If you go for it, even if they score, you likely finish the game with the ball in your hands.

They got away with it cause the Green Bay kicker sucked but if I'm weighing options I'd much rather punt & then make green bay drive 50/60 yards to get into field goal range. I realize there is a risk they drain the clock doing that. But at least you've made them do something. The call he made left Green Bay in a spot where a competent kicker would have given them the lead after 3 plays & 2 yards gained. Essentially nothing.
I'd always rather make the other guy do something to beat me. And if he does go shake his hand when it ends than just giving it away. Sometimes the crazy risk works out but the more you make the other team do the harder it is going to be for them to do it.
