As a Bronco fan, our fanbase is so annoying. We have no patience, and no knowledge when it comes to the deep part of the game. We need to be patient with Bo and let him develop.
Exactly. The amount of comments I’ve read about wanting to fire Payton and the gm is nuts. Seattle has a great defense, he didn’t do terrible and it can’t be all on him. People forget how long it takes to really develop
Denver has the biggest dead cap in NFL history. There are going to be obvious holes in this team. Until they can get rid of that deadcap and draft some skill players and build on their depth, this is what the team will look like. You wanna blame someone? Blame Joe Ellis and George Paton for setting this franchise back a whole decade. Not the kid that was just drafted and went out there and did all he could.
The lack of patience is the most annoying to me. Rich hit it on the head, our receivers got next to no YAC, immediately tackled every time. That's just good defense. And probably good of Payton to not call too many plays down the field in the kid's first game, in one of the 2 loudest stadiums in the league. Get the kid warmed up and acclimated to an NFL defense, limit possible mistakes. It's a long season. Can build his confidence even in a loss. We want this kid for another 15-20 years.
Its not most of the fanbase but the ones that are, are so noisy and try to spill their bs everywhere, i dont think it was like this all the time, but it became like this lately, but i still dont think the majority of our fan base are like that.
0 passing touchdowns and 2 interceptions encouraged you lmao. And those 2 interceptions were about the worst throws he could make, y’all need to be realistic
@@dustinrowley515y’all had about every chance to win that game. All those drives starting with GREAT field position and yet none of them resulted in touchdowns. There’s no way you think that way after a game like that.
As a Broncos fan there's 0 panic. He might've drawn the hardest environment to play your first regular season start and he simply wasn't quite up to task on a bottom 10 roster. Loudest stadium, talented roster, and maybe the most creative defensive coach in football. Bo will be fine and I think he will still have a few trademark rookie games this season. Make no mistake there is a reason why Sean Payton opted for the youth movement with the Broncos this offseason. Obviously the financial constraints made it difficult but he has to see and evaluate all the young talent before they really get deep into building a roster to support Bo in the years to come. Drafting Bo wasn't about winning the Super Bowl this year, it was setting this team up for success for the next 10 years. Not bothered by it all.
No panic here that was a tough assignment but he got thru it. He'll be ok give him a chance. If they had converted those red zone opportunities instead field goals they would be praising him.
stadium was 1/5 full of broncos fans. this was the weakest hawk fan presence in years and years. lots of season ticket holders put their seats on the market. js.
The people claiming Bo Nix is already a failure after one f****** game in one of the hardest places in the NFL to play, when he has nobody to throw to and no running game to speak of, are people you can immediately discount the opinions of.
lol bro we haven’t had WRs in yrs frfr don’t complain about them now he forced to bad plays and left points on the board in a game the defense set him up perfectly the whole first half and he would throw by the ball 4 yards short on third down
@@JLAvenger23 I'm a Lions fan, but I've always liked the Broncos, particularly when the GOAT, Peyton Manning played for them. So I'm rooting for Nix, particularly as the underdog from the draft.
I'm a Seahawk fan and watched the whole game. Those so-called Bronco fans need to relax. Mike Macdonald's defense is legit. My guys were flying around and there wasn't a lot Bo could do. And I didn't even like Nix much coming out of college. But it was his first game and he played a helluva lot better than the other 2 rookies. I think the kid will be alright. Funny how Broncos fans forget how awful Elway was in his first start and think this was bad.
Unfortunately as a 40-year Broncos fan most Broncos fans are truly idiots about the game of football! They have no clue how the actual game functions they don't understand that each and every player on that field has a complicated task. Denver fans are not football gurus which means they think a quarterback is the only person that does anything on the field
Agreed 50 yr. fan here. To be fair tho most fans who also post on Twitter are clueless regardless of team. Elway’s rookie year wasn’t all that swift either. Nix is the best prospect we’ve had in a long while. Let’s give it a season or 2 and see where we’re at.
Broncos fans have gotten really jaded over the years. There are two camps in Denver. Camp one loves Bo and are genuinely looking forward to seeing him grow on this very young team. Camp 2 has had to shut up the last 4 weeks with his excellent performance in preseason and hates it that Denver didn't waste more capital on trying to force their way up for their pick or stick with aging Wilson. Camp 2 took the opportunity post loss to beat their chests and declare him a failure after one close loss. He looks good and this team did him no favors this last weekend with all the drops and the missed opportunities despite a ridiculous 44 pass attempts. He also threw some bone headed rookie passes. He also got beat up. Against one of the premier defenses in the league, he still almost pulled a rabbit out of his hat. Bo nix will be fine. ignore the idiots in Denver who are shooting him down after one game. Fair weather fans aren't worth your time.
@@apelike thats camp one champ. Nobody worth listening to thinks bo nix is going to walk in and win it all. The kid is a rookie. For a rookie he looks fine. Football is a 53 man sport. The team is young. They have a lot of growth ahead of them. The seahawks were a great team to face day one for the rookies. It adds a lot of great tape for them to watch.
@heavymetallabrat someone who gets it... I watched it and wasn't pissed, I just said they have a lot to learn. He had some flashes but made rookie mistakes. But it didn't deserve the overreaction from fans on social media. To the point it's obnoxious with the "I knew it's!" Ugh... at this point, they would have tarred and feathered Josh Allen by now if Elway had selected him.
Since Bo is losing ball games and can't read defenses he needs to ride the bench! You put the QB in that has the best chance of winning, you know winning not losing!!! Let the Rookie watch film, get more coaching, run the practice squad, pay his dues. I would rather see Stidham or Zach out there, at least they have experience and have actually won NFL games. Bo may have fooled the coaches but he isn't fooling any of the defensive backs when he can't throw further than 5 yards (average 3.3 yards per pass) and threw two picks.
I like to assume that most of these hating bronco fans are just fans from SB 50 and have no idea the real history with this franchise. The real fans know it's a process. Trust the process.
I'm a Bronco fan and I agree with Rich. Offensively, Seattle could not get out of their own way during the first half. Denver was actually more organized to start the year. It wasn't good football, but it wasn't sloppy riddled with penalties and clock issues. Nix's pre-snap body language, managing the OL, and reading the defense looked like a 2 year pro, not a wet-behind-the-ears rookie. His mechanics could be called out, but those things can be improved.
Great call Rich! Bo was composed and handled his rough day like a veteran. VERY ENCOURAGED BY HOW HE BATTLED. I PERSONALLY BELIEVE IF HE GETS ONE MORE POSSESSION, DENVER WINS.....the key is his mobility, totally underused all game.
Broncs fan here: I am impressed by Bo. That Seahawk secondary is one shifty group and they played their asses off. I believe he will be obsessed in the film room and come back better.
@@workinprogresslabsshifty bro ready again and y’all weren’t saying this about the Seahawks 3 weeks ago. Now y’all want to protect Bo. He was the worst starter this weekend
I think that every Broncos fan went from thinking the Seahawks secondary was shitty and that they would get an easy win with their new star QB to realizing the Hawks D is talanted and legit.
@@joejay4646 no not every broncos fan I knew it would be rough and that their secondary is better than our wrs. Ppl crying about no separation. 1: we played a good secondary. 2: our wrs never got separation in the past 5-7 yrs, so why are we crying about it now? Now we play the Steelers and it doesn’t get any easier. Tampa Bay, NYJ, Vegas, Chargers, Saints. You tell me where you see us getting better in the next 5 games? We are underdogs every game until we host the panthers.
Totally agree. Multiple big drops by receivers and no calls on interference on 3rd down, running game wasn't there, playing from behind half the game, against Seattle's DB's, and there was still a feeling that if Denver got the ball back they could win. Well done for the rookie.
The big drops were hard to take, but no one on the offense seemed to be on the same page and Payton's playcalling seemed like he telegraphed every play, especially the dump offs and screens. I'm a little disappointed that the look offs and pro throws Bo made in preseason were no where to be found. Not panicking cause we were just outplayed on Offense that whole game. Once bitten, twice shy.
@@SVanTha I feel you. My comment on the run game might add to your point of view. If that isn't fixed then we have a rookie QB playing defenses that know before the game we have to throw to score. Then add in the rookie telegraphing and receivers that can't get a single yard after catch. Could be a long year. Still optimistic though.
As a Seahawks fan, I thought Bo didn’t do too bad, given the difficult environment he had to play his first game in. I agree with Rich about Bo. I think he showed a lot of resilience in the face of adversity. I was more embarrassed by Seattle’s poor offensive line performance in the first half than I was with Bo’s overall performance. I saw flashes of potential in him. If Broncos fan base will just have a little bit of patience with Nix, I think he really could take you guys to the playoffs repeatedly over the next decade.
I’m a lifelong Broncos fan. I can say without a doubt that over the last decade our fanbase has become toxic in a way that I thought was impossible for a group who had been class acts my entire life. Turns out mediocrity breeds impatience. I can’t believe how much I’ve read people talk about already benching Bo or firing Sean. It’s insane. Like all logical thought about the career progression and learning curve for rookie QBs has just gone completely out the window. And that’s not even mentioning the fact that blowing everything up and firing everybody doesn’t even get the franchise in a better position. In fact it sets it back even more. You have a proven winner at HC who just needs time to turn the ship around and put his own stamp on the franchise but instead you want to blow everything up and hire god knows who and face all the unknowns that come with that? Also, in the NFL the winning organizations are the ones with consistency. How can you be competitive if your roster is having to learn a new scheme from a new coach or coordinator every year when the teams at the top are honing their craft and perfecting every minute detail of their own scheme? It’s illogical, enraging, and embarrassing to read this nonsense by these “fans.” But I at least can understand from a human perspective why they are speaking so foolishly and recklessly. It probably comes from a place of passion and being sick of being mediocre but in order to stop this mediocrity there has to be consistency and the willingness to not fire everybody in the building at the first sign of trouble. Like Peyton Manning says, teams are way too quick to bench rookie QBs these days and he would’ve never turned out to be who he was if he wasn’t given opportunities every week to improve despite breaking the interception record and going 3-13.
Rich Eisen I am a broncos fan and i completely agree with you i thought Bo Nix showed a lot of promise and i know he will get better and this team will get better and really the silver lining is this man played his butt off and even when they were down and out he continued to fight toward the end and almost pulled a win out.
As a Broncos fan (following the trend on here) I'm super optimistic about Bo Nix. People forget that CJ Stroud Week 1 of 2023 had 28/44 Catches/Pass attempts, No TD's and had Defensive pressure from the Ravens, and was sacked 4 times that game. Bo's numbers were 26/42, he scored a touchdown, yes he had 2 interceptions, but he was only sacked 2 times with the pressure Seattle was putting on him. Let the year play out Broncos Nation, I stand behind Bo Nix. You got this Bo!
Rich, you’re absolutely right. Been a Bronco fan since 1963. I can’t wait to see Bo Nix bring this team together. He definitely has what it takes. I have no idea what the negativity is all about. Nix needed the ball one more time at the end of the game. Very exciting player.
All fans have All fans have Fanatics. And I believe many bronco fans expected too much but I saw exactly what you saw, somebody far more composed than a rookie in his first game in a hostile environment. I came away thinking about his supporting cast and with Bo being the last person I worried about. One crazy catch away from getting the ball back and actually having a chance to go down and win the game.. Between the dropped passes and the 0 yards after completion, not to mention the nonexistent run game Bo actually was the highlight in my opinion.
I live in Colorado and cheer the Broncos. 95% of rookies get rattled their first few games, but including most future franchise stars. Bo is a winner and a keeper. He's smart and will adjust to the NFL game.
Considering the circumstances and lack of help from the Broncos "playmakers" I think Bo played well. His body language was awesome. He competed right until the very end and never looked overwhelmed.
40+ year Broncos fan here.... two problems with the majority of the fan base- 1. They smoke too many left-handed stogies, if you catch my drift. 2. They still cling to the glory days of Elway and Manning. Hell, many were ready to anoint Tim Tebow as the chosen one (reference point #1- that probably had a lot to do with it). However, to point #2- the last almost decade has been rough on us, to say the least. To be at least in contention, if not playing for a championship pretty regularly for 30 years, only to go on an 8 year skid without even so much as sniffing a playoff game, losing Pat Bowlen, then the ownership drama- along with the team making some bad choices, drafting poorly, hiring coaches that weren't up to task.... I think that Broncos fans would be more patient, and less critical, had Sean Payton been hired in, say 2017 or 2018. But after eight years of personnel miscues, drama, and overall failure, plus the Chiefs rising to utter dominance (I just gagged a little bit as I typed that), Broncos fans are desperate for their team to return to their winning ways, and overly critical of *anything* (coach, GM, or player) that could possibly delay that. I've said it before, and I'll say it again- what Elway (and later Manning) accomplished in Denver was epic- but it also made it really, really difficult to be a starting QB for the Broncos, especially if you don't immediately start lighting the field on fire right from the jump. People don't remember when Elway was just some goofy rookie who scrambled around all crazy and threw picks (a lot of picks). They never saw Manning in a Broncos uniform when he threw more INTs than TDs. So Broncos fans just need to learn to be patient again. It took Elway a while. Hell, it even took Manning a little bit once he got there. If Bo Nix is allowed to mature in Sean Peyton's system, he will become a very good QB. Be patient, Broncos Country.
Love my Seahawks defense! But I really liked Bo. Ever since I saw him duel against my Huskies, I have liked that kid. I think he’s going to be a good one.
I think you nailed it. Rich! A lot to be hopeful for as a Broncos fan. Bo Nix is a stud and he’s only going to get better. And don’t apologize for your take.
Rich, as a Bronco fan, I agree with you assertation. He is a rookie QB in his first game, on the road and the Broncos had a chance to win. So, our fans just need to be patient.
I came away from the game disappointed that our wide receivers continue to fail to generate any form of separation, our running game is lackluster, and Bo played how I expect a rookie to play week 1.
Thank you Rich! I've been a Bronco fan since 1980, and watched Elway when I was a youngin' and he played better than Elway. And our best QB became a Hall of Fame QB. That run at the end showed me the Kid doesn't give up.
A word to describe Broncos fandom: toxic. And they still got a lot to learn, thing that they don't like to do about football. Supporting you, Rich, I Bolieve and In Payton I trust. Ignore those keyboard warriors.
I agree!! And his maturity is off the charts. He sounded like a ten year veteran after the game. I mean look at their roster! Which team has better talent? Also, that running game was so bad they had to drop back 44 times?!! With a rookie?!! In Seattle?!!! Against arguably the best defensive back unit in the NFC or maybe even the NFL. I'm telling you! In three years, this dude is going to be great!! Just give him better offensive lineman and at least another elite receiver!
@@ToddMitchell-zk1fy O-line? Give him some new fans that will appreciate what this kid could do. I watch him while he was in Oregon. There’s a reason why Oregon was ranked high .
Don't understand a lot of these fans.. it really is pathetic. After all Bo went through in the first 3 quarters, he led a nice drive down the field and ran it in himself, (in a very smart and savy way I might add.. that fake!) No, I agree with Rich.. some would say the toughest place to play away, against an unknown, but now known great defence.. no run game, dropped passes and penalties at the wrong time. He's fine. [people don't think well when they're emotional.. especially uneducated fans]
Great call imo. Happened at Auburn, happened during first preseason game, happening now. He starts shaky, adjusts fast, learns fast, and improves. I think this was normal and expected and he is resilient and will bounce back.
As a Broncos fan for almost 30 years, the word for DEN fandom is toxic: toxic and obnoxious, those are two words. That is why I stepped aside from the fan club I myself created here in CR, and better speak with a 0.01% of truly focused fans and eager to learn, not those fairweather bandwagoners who appeared after SB50 or after and don't understand how football works (it is football, not fútbol soccer as many LATAM fans want to compare it with). I Bolieve and I believe in Payton. Football is a marathon,not a 100 mt sprint race.Patience and time,I look at the Lions for example,or the Texans after a dead cap chaos and so other examples. Thank you for your opinion, Rich,really liked it and encouraging for me as a Broncos fan. A MHS to you from Costa Rica. Go Broncos! ¡Vamos Broncos!
Bo nix needs to grow. I was around when we had a rookie quarterback that was thought to ruin the Broncos. I still love to look back at John Elway and watch how he grew into the great quarterback he became. We have to be patient.
Rich has my exact thoughts. Dude made his mistakes, but his team failed him just as much. Add Seattle having a defensive mastermind at HC now and their stadium being easily one of the toughest in the NFL to play in and I can very much be patient with Nix. Dude shined at times and wow is he even faster than I thought.
As a bronco fan I agree with you 100%. The game didn't go well, but the entire offense underperformed. Nix will be fine. Keep your head up and call em as you see em.
I am a broncos fan and appreciate your take. I felt Bo Nix did very well considering the extremely tough environment, it was his first NFL game and start, as well against one of the best defensive head coaches and defensive schemes.
As someone who's been watching Rich Eisen for 12 years now , trust me when I say this man knows what he's talking about. When he says these kinds of things about a player he's right 95% of the time. Real broncos fans trust the process and believe in Bo Nix and this team and this coaching staff
been a fan since there crazy run to sb 50 win I get it there hurt from the qb carousel and I feel the whole Russ situation really dug the dagger in to our hearts but you have to be patient everything that happened from 2016 to now is not Nix’s fault he’s a rookie and unfortunately he got drafted to an inpatient fan base that just keeps looking at it’s bad exes if he went to a more understand team there would probably be some sanity from the fans but I’m personally glad we have BO In 🧡💙 surprise fair take from Rich Eisen
Bo was ready to go win that game with 1:40 left even after getting no help from his offense , I believe he would have took denver down the field and walked out of there with a W had Browning not jumped off sides
In the same vein as other broncos fans, there is a LOT to like about what he DID as well as DIDN'T DO. Seattle is LOUD, It's his first game etc and he took it in stride. Once the game was more on the line at the end, he took ownership and did his best to get within a possession. Some of us Bronco "FANS" have become so impatient and arrogant. Do they want either Wilson or Stidham out there? I doubt it. His teammates are backing him time and time again. The best thing about it that they're ready t run through a wall for Bo. Their opinions are the ONLY ones that matter.
As a lifelong Bronco's fan, I am so tired of some of the other fans. Unless someone walks out and looks like a late career Elway or Manning they think we need to move on. I am excited for Bo and I like some of the things I saw on the field. The run for the end zone and the little pump fake to freeze the guy so he could spin around him into the end zone was a beauty. The Broncos are mostly a young team and I am excited to see them grow together and can't wait to see where they are towards the end of this year and next year. I feel hope for once that we are on the right track and I am ready for the journey,
I saw a lot of potential in Bo Nix. I've been a Broncos fan for 41 years. I'm not used to the amount of losing the team has been going through the last 8 years. But, I believe Bo Nix will be the real deal. We just gotta be patient. I saw the dropped passes, the lack of a running game, no yards after the catch....I saw it all, including Bo's mistakes as well. But, I can see we are on the path of getting back to our winning ways !
Die hard Broncos fan and I agree saw a lot of positives in Bo Nix, receivers weren't separating, run game was MIA so what do you expect Bo to do? It's only one game, every match up is different I think Bo's gonna do fine this year
Thanks to Elway and Manning, our (Denver's) expectations at QB are such that every play must be a glorious touchdown miracle. I think Bo did fine for his first game. He has a bright future.
The Seahawks have a very underrated defense. Macdonald runs very complex schemes that wouldn’t be ideal for a season opener for any QB let alone a rookie QB.
As a Broncos fan, I am 100% behind Nix. Our fanbase can be brutal. They also can have unrealistic expectations. I have been a fan for 50 years and I remember watching Elway struggle mightily in his first game. Imagine if social media existed at that time.
As a lifelong Broncos fan, i saw this game as positive. I saw the good and I saw the bad. But all in all, I thought he did great on what he was given. All so I think it's all the new fans that haven't been a long time, Broncos fan that are giving hate. I remember the time Elway was bad, but we hung in there stuck in there, and we finally got our Super Bowl wins. So I will wait to see how Bo does and wish him the best, and hopefully, he will give us double or triple our Super Bowl winnings.
I'm a lifelong Bronco fan. I thought Seattle's defense played well, Denver couldn't run the ball consistently, and Nix did miss a few throws, and the receivers dropped a few. For crying out loud it's his 1st game as a starting QB and it was in Seattle, one of the hardest places to play. Did anyone think he was going to put up 400 yards with 4 Td's? Let's give him some time.
It's unbecoming to share the passion for orange and blue with some of these guys honestly. I get we're tired of losing, but this rookie had a better start than the last two HOFers we had in their 1st games by a long shot. It's asinine to say Bo isn't great or not it after one game. When he's clicking with a system he knows and builds that confidence the same way he did in Oregon, the dude is going to look so dynamic. That stuff does take time. Bo will be so much better by the end of the season. He just had a very tough assignment his very 1st game. And more are up ahead. If Denver can get to the Raiders with a 2-2 record, that's pretty good all things considering. But everyone expects excellence straight out the gate. Bo's fundamentals are leagues above what you'd expect from a rookie. It will get better over time.
As a Seahawks fan, I find it hilarious how everyone it throwing Nix under the bus already... Did any receiver get a single yard after any catch? Most acted like they were afraid of having the ball thrown to them... That pass into triple coverage, as ill advised as that is, why is the receiver just standing there letting 3 Seahawks jump in front of him? Seahawks secondary just dominated that whole game... Blame Nix all you want, I remember Manning doing just as bad some years ago....
I've been pounding the table for Bo since before the draft. Looked great in camp and the pre-season. One thing i know for a fact is that there isnt a bigger critic of the way he played his first game than Bo Nix, himself! Bo is a student of the game and he will correct those things he did wrong, he will settle down and he will be a star in this league! Even if it takes him the whole year to get a grasp on the NFL, im riding with Bo Nix all the way! He wasn't helped by plenty of dropped passes, poor pass protection and an aggressive defense, or the fact that the run game was abandoned early on. I have hope in Bo and i have faith in Sean Payton to correct the growing pains in time. LETS GO BO!
Don't apologize Richy!!! Real die hard Bronco fans love you and respect your opinion. All facts. You've called alot of good games in good years for us and never have a bias. Please excuse our bandwagons. Every team has em. 🙄🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🙏🏾✊🏾 U good in my book OG.
When the schedule popped up, I saw the word "BYE" and the first thing I thought was "GOOD BYE, WE'LL SEE YA NEXT YEAR." I'm sure they will be happy when the draft comes around.
I'm a Broncos fan and i agree with you. There was A LOT of things that didn't go right for us, in that game. Refs screwed us a few times. Nix wasn't perfect and needs a lot of work, but I'm confident that he will improve.
As a lifelong Broncos fan I totally agree with you. I think Bo is the guy I really do. I just think we have had such bad offense for the past decade I think they are frustrated
I may be able to remember this better than some of today's Bronco fans I'm 73 years old but John Elway didn't have a very good first season with the Broncos. I think that we need to allow Bo Nix to develop.
I think Broncos fans had it really good for a long time and now after nine years of sucking we’ve lost our patience. I agree with Rich that I still see great potential in Nix. It was his first game as a rookie. He’s going to struggle at times. It was a good take Rich!
I agree with Rich! The Broncos don’t have any legit #1 receivers, they were unable to run the ball effectively, outside of Bo who was the Broncos leading rusher. He was in a hostile atmosphere and he was under duress most the game. I think he showed poise and competitiveness, and he will only get better each and every week. I am a big Broncos fan and have been since the early seventies. The fans in those days were diehards, and the fans today are simply fair weather fans!
I love the Broncos I have since I was a kid in the 60s. I won the punt pass and kick competition in the region in my little Denver bronco helmet. Good times. We just don’t have the talent right now but we will at some point. I have faith that before I am not on this earth anymore we will win another Super Bowl.
The very casual bronco fans think its panic time and expected Bo Nix to be an instant hall of famer. The ones who know ball arent worried one bit. All things considered, it wasnt a terrible game, and the thing I loved from Bo was he got better as the game went on. Most younger QBs throw a pick or two and they get worse as the game progresses, but Bo did not.
I'm so glad I'm not the only Broncos fan that's not worried. Extremely hard place to play. A good defense. Bo Nix has to have time to develop just like any rookie. Caleb Williams also didn't look very good at all and look at the talent around him. Nix will be fine. We just have to get some better rushing production to help out
As a Bronco fan, our fanbase is so annoying. We have no patience, and no knowledge when it comes to the deep part of the game. We need to be patient with Bo and let him develop.
Exactly. The amount of comments I’ve read about wanting to fire Payton and the gm is nuts. Seattle has a great defense, he didn’t do terrible and it can’t be all on him. People forget how long it takes to really develop
Denver has the biggest dead cap in NFL history. There are going to be obvious holes in this team. Until they can get rid of that deadcap and draft some skill players and build on their depth, this is what the team will look like. You wanna blame someone? Blame Joe Ellis and George Paton for setting this franchise back a whole decade. Not the kid that was just drafted and went out there and did all he could.
The lack of patience is the most annoying to me. Rich hit it on the head, our receivers got next to no YAC, immediately tackled every time. That's just good defense. And probably good of Payton to not call too many plays down the field in the kid's first game, in one of the 2 loudest stadiums in the league. Get the kid warmed up and acclimated to an NFL defense, limit possible mistakes. It's a long season. Can build his confidence even in a loss. We want this kid for another 15-20 years.
Its not most of the fanbase but the ones that are, are so noisy and try to spill their bs everywhere, i dont think it was like this all the time, but it became like this lately, but i still dont think the majority of our fan base are like that.
Gotta say, if our ground game had shown up, Bo wouldn't have been under the gun as much.
As a Broncos fan I appreciate Rich seeing the glass half full.
It's the bandwagon idiots that joined in 2012 that spend all their time whining. I hate that portion of the fanbase.
@@GwaiZairight, they don't know what it was like with Orton and Tebow, even Cutler lol. They were spoiled with Peyton Manning
@@galahad5435 They also missed out on witnessing the glory of Plummer in 2005
Looks half empty to me.
It's game one and I just think about Josh Allen and Jordan Love, they were questionable.
As a Broncos fan I was encouraged
Must not take much these days.
For sure. They don't turn over the ball and score more they win there
@@dustinrowley515Lmao
0 passing touchdowns and 2 interceptions encouraged you lmao. And those 2 interceptions were about the worst throws he could make, y’all need to be realistic
@@dustinrowley515y’all had about every chance to win that game. All those drives starting with GREAT field position and yet none of them resulted in touchdowns. There’s no way you think that way after a game like that.
As a Broncos fan there's 0 panic. He might've drawn the hardest environment to play your first regular season start and he simply wasn't quite up to task on a bottom 10 roster. Loudest stadium, talented roster, and maybe the most creative defensive coach in football. Bo will be fine and I think he will still have a few trademark rookie games this season. Make no mistake there is a reason why Sean Payton opted for the youth movement with the Broncos this offseason. Obviously the financial constraints made it difficult but he has to see and evaluate all the young talent before they really get deep into building a roster to support Bo in the years to come. Drafting Bo wasn't about winning the Super Bowl this year, it was setting this team up for success for the next 10 years. Not bothered by it all.
No panic here that was a tough assignment but he got thru it. He'll be ok give him a chance. If they had converted those red zone opportunities instead field goals they would be praising him.
stadium was 1/5 full of broncos fans. this was the weakest hawk fan presence in years and years. lots of season ticket holders put their seats on the market. js.
@@TDC5weakest hawk fan presence in years? Can you back that up with proof? Otherwise gtfo
Well said sir!
@@TDC5the copium is real
As a Broncos fan, you are 100% right
As a Seahawks fan, you are 100% right.
(And this fan grew up w/ the Broncos as division rivals, so I don't *want* to agree)
The people claiming Bo Nix is already a failure after one f****** game in one of the hardest places in the NFL to play, when he has nobody to throw to and no running game to speak of, are people you can immediately discount the opinions of.
Oh, and there are lots of those, especially from other teams. So called experts already calling him a bust of busts. Well said, well said. I Bolieve.
lol bro we haven’t had WRs in yrs frfr don’t complain about them now he forced to bad plays and left points on the board in a game the defense set him up perfectly the whole first half and he would throw by the ball 4 yards short on third down
@@JLAvenger23 I'm a Lions fan, but I've always liked the Broncos, particularly when the GOAT, Peyton Manning played for them. So I'm rooting for Nix, particularly as the underdog from the draft.
He is toast. Make all the excuses you want. 25 year old rookie smh
@@thequinlanshow3326 facts he disappointed me
I'm a Seahawk fan and watched the whole game. Those so-called Bronco fans need to relax. Mike Macdonald's defense is legit. My guys were flying around and there wasn't a lot Bo could do. And I didn't even like Nix much coming out of college. But it was his first game and he played a helluva lot better than the other 2 rookies. I think the kid will be alright. Funny how Broncos fans forget how awful Elway was in his first start and think this was bad.
I think this Seattle D will be a top 5-7 unit by the end of the year.
EXACTLY DUDE, nail on head
I remember I watched that game it was the same thing he suck never going to be any good we saw how that turned out
Its just twitter nerds "fan" that love to overreact. Sadly their crying is such more louder than their sense.
He's a Bronco fan pretending to be a Seahawk fan...I checked it out.
Unfortunately as a 40-year Broncos fan most Broncos fans are truly idiots about the game of football! They have no clue how the actual game functions they don't understand that each and every player on that field has a complicated task. Denver fans are not football gurus which means they think a quarterback is the only person that does anything on the field
Dude, we are literally the worst😅. We have no patience.
I've noticed this, not the worst people, but the most clueless. I'm convinced it's the fans actually IN Denver at high altitude with lower oxygen 🤷♂️
Well said. As an almost 30 year fan of the team, I agree with all those words. Nuff said, 100% agree.
Agreed 50 yr. fan here. To be fair tho most fans who also post on Twitter are clueless regardless of team. Elway’s rookie year wasn’t all that swift either. Nix is the best prospect we’ve had in a long while. Let’s give it a season or 2 and see where we’re at.
It's true
Broncos fans have gotten really jaded over the years. There are two camps in Denver. Camp one loves Bo and are genuinely looking forward to seeing him grow on this very young team. Camp 2 has had to shut up the last 4 weeks with his excellent performance in preseason and hates it that Denver didn't waste more capital on trying to force their way up for their pick or stick with aging Wilson. Camp 2 took the opportunity post loss to beat their chests and declare him a failure after one close loss. He looks good and this team did him no favors this last weekend with all the drops and the missed opportunities despite a ridiculous 44 pass attempts. He also threw some bone headed rookie passes. He also got beat up. Against one of the premier defenses in the league, he still almost pulled a rabbit out of his hat. Bo nix will be fine. ignore the idiots in Denver who are shooting him down after one game. Fair weather fans aren't worth your time.
💯 facts.
There's a third camp in the middle that knows a couple preseason games doesn't make a superstar, and one regular season game doesn't make a loser.
@@apelike thats camp one champ. Nobody worth listening to thinks bo nix is going to walk in and win it all. The kid is a rookie. For a rookie he looks fine. Football is a 53 man sport. The team is young. They have a lot of growth ahead of them. The seahawks were a great team to face day one for the rookies. It adds a lot of great tape for them to watch.
@heavymetallabrat someone who gets it... I watched it and wasn't pissed, I just said they have a lot to learn. He had some flashes but made rookie mistakes. But it didn't deserve the overreaction from fans on social media. To the point it's obnoxious with the "I knew it's!" Ugh... at this point, they would have tarred and feathered Josh Allen by now if Elway had selected him.
Since Bo is losing ball games and can't read defenses he needs to ride the bench! You put the QB in that has the best chance of winning, you know winning not losing!!! Let the Rookie watch film, get more coaching, run the practice squad, pay his dues. I would rather see Stidham or Zach out there, at least they have experience and have actually won NFL games. Bo may have fooled the coaches but he isn't fooling any of the defensive backs when he can't throw further than 5 yards (average 3.3 yards per pass) and threw two picks.
I’m a Broncos fan and I can tell you with certainty that this fan base is terrible they are already giving up after 1 week pathetic
It’s crazy the amount of other bronco fans I’ve seen immediately hating on him
Unfortunately true. My family group chat went from hopeful to the season being over in 3 quarters. I'll never understand it.
@@chipdockers "fans" who are too impatient and soft
They are being realistic. They see the bust developing quickly.
I like to assume that most of these hating bronco fans are just fans from SB 50 and have no idea the real history with this franchise. The real fans know it's a process. Trust the process.
Well when you're on Twitter you're gonna get negativity. We love Bo Nix
Those aren’t broncos fans. We know it’s a process, the real fans will ride.
Same feelings in Chicago - NFL is ruthless. It takes time!
I'm a Bronco fan and I agree with Rich. Offensively, Seattle could not get out of their own way during the first half. Denver was actually more organized to start the year. It wasn't good football, but it wasn't sloppy riddled with penalties and clock issues. Nix's pre-snap body language, managing the OL, and reading the defense looked like a 2 year pro, not a wet-behind-the-ears rookie. His mechanics could be called out, but those things can be improved.
Great call Rich! Bo was composed and handled his rough day like a veteran. VERY ENCOURAGED BY HOW HE BATTLED. I PERSONALLY BELIEVE IF HE GETS ONE MORE POSSESSION, DENVER WINS.....the key is his mobility, totally underused all game.
A couple plays at the end there it looked like they took the training wheels off and we saw him operate.
Broncs fan here: I am impressed by Bo. That Seahawk secondary is one shifty group and they played their asses off. I believe he will be obsessed in the film room and come back better.
The Seahawks secondary is shitty? Friend they might be top of the league. Pro Bowlers: Woolen + Witherspoon + Love
@@workinprogresslabsshifty bro ready again and y’all weren’t saying this about the Seahawks 3 weeks ago. Now y’all want to protect Bo. He was the worst starter this weekend
I think that every Broncos fan went from thinking the Seahawks secondary was shitty and that they would get an easy win with their new star QB to realizing the Hawks D is talanted and legit.
@@joejay4646 no not every broncos fan I knew it would be rough and that their secondary is better than our wrs. Ppl crying about no separation. 1: we played a good secondary. 2: our wrs never got separation in the past 5-7 yrs, so why are we crying about it now? Now we play the Steelers and it doesn’t get any easier. Tampa Bay, NYJ, Vegas, Chargers, Saints. You tell me where you see us getting better in the next 5 games? We are underdogs every game until we host the panthers.
Totally agree. Multiple big drops by receivers and no calls on interference on 3rd down, running game wasn't there, playing from behind half the game, against Seattle's DB's, and there was still a feeling that if Denver got the ball back they could win. Well done for the rookie.
The big drops were hard to take, but no one on the offense seemed to be on the same page and Payton's playcalling seemed like he telegraphed every play, especially the dump offs and screens. I'm a little disappointed that the look offs and pro throws Bo made in preseason were no where to be found. Not panicking cause we were just outplayed on Offense that whole game. Once bitten, twice shy.
@@SVanTha I feel you. My comment on the run game might add to your point of view. If that isn't fixed then we have a rookie QB playing defenses that know before the game we have to throw to score. Then add in the rookie telegraphing and receivers that can't get a single yard after catch. Could be a long year. Still optimistic though.
As a Seahawks fan, I thought Bo didn’t do too bad, given the difficult environment he had to play his first game in. I agree with Rich about Bo. I think he showed a lot of resilience in the face of adversity. I was more embarrassed by Seattle’s poor offensive line performance in the first half than I was with Bo’s overall performance. I saw flashes of potential in him. If Broncos fan base will just have a little bit of patience with Nix, I think he really could take you guys to the playoffs repeatedly over the next decade.
I agree, Bo has a bright future and I can't wait for it to click. And it will!!!!
I’m a lifelong Broncos fan. I can say without a doubt that over the last decade our fanbase has become toxic in a way that I thought was impossible for a group who had been class acts my entire life. Turns out mediocrity breeds impatience. I can’t believe how much I’ve read people talk about already benching Bo or firing Sean. It’s insane. Like all logical thought about the career progression and learning curve for rookie QBs has just gone completely out the window. And that’s not even mentioning the fact that blowing everything up and firing everybody doesn’t even get the franchise in a better position. In fact it sets it back even more.
You have a proven winner at HC who just needs time to turn the ship around and put his own stamp on the franchise but instead you want to blow everything up and hire god knows who and face all the unknowns that come with that? Also, in the NFL the winning organizations are the ones with consistency. How can you be competitive if your roster is having to learn a new scheme from a new coach or coordinator every year when the teams at the top are honing their craft and perfecting every minute detail of their own scheme? It’s illogical, enraging, and embarrassing to read this nonsense by these “fans.” But I at least can understand from a human perspective why they are speaking so foolishly and recklessly. It probably comes from a place of passion and being sick of being mediocre but in order to stop this mediocrity there has to be consistency and the willingness to not fire everybody in the building at the first sign of trouble. Like Peyton Manning says, teams are way too quick to bench rookie QBs these days and he would’ve never turned out to be who he was if he wasn’t given opportunities every week to improve despite breaking the interception record and going 3-13.
Rich Eisen I am a broncos fan and i completely agree with you i thought Bo Nix showed a lot of promise and i know he will get better and this team will get better and really the silver lining is this man played his butt off and even when they were down and out he continued to fight toward the end and almost pulled a win out.
As a Bronco fan, that game was still progress over the last two years.
As a Broncos fan (following the trend on here) I'm super optimistic about Bo Nix. People forget that CJ Stroud Week 1 of 2023 had 28/44 Catches/Pass attempts, No TD's and had Defensive pressure from the Ravens, and was sacked 4 times that game. Bo's numbers were 26/42, he scored a touchdown, yes he had 2 interceptions, but he was only sacked 2 times with the pressure Seattle was putting on him. Let the year play out Broncos Nation, I stand behind Bo Nix. You got this Bo!
Rich, you’re absolutely right. Been a Bronco fan since 1963. I can’t wait to see Bo Nix bring this team together. He definitely has what it takes. I have no idea what the negativity is all about. Nix needed the ball one more time at the end of the game. Very exciting player.
Broncos fan 🙋♂️… not disappointed… still a Bo-liever… goof take Rich 👏
It's ok, you can be disappointed and still believe in Bo.
Goof take? 😂
All fans have All fans have Fanatics. And I believe many bronco fans expected too much but I saw exactly what you saw, somebody far more composed than a rookie in his first game in a hostile environment. I came away thinking about his supporting cast and with Bo being the last person I worried about. One crazy catch away from getting the ball back and actually having a chance to go down and win the game.. Between the dropped passes and the 0 yards after completion, not to mention the nonexistent run game Bo actually was the highlight in my opinion.
I live in Colorado and cheer the Broncos. 95% of rookies get rattled their first few games, but including most future franchise stars. Bo is a winner and a keeper. He's smart and will adjust to the NFL game.
As a Broncos fan, I love Bo Nix and I'm excited to watch him develop
Those were the crazy fans we were the majority still believe, and we know that the process is going to be long
Seattle did what they should do vs a rookie QB which is sit in a disguised zone with disguised blitzes all game. Tough spot for any rookie
Considering the circumstances and lack of help from the Broncos "playmakers" I think Bo played well. His body language was awesome. He competed right until the very end and never looked overwhelmed.
As a French Broncos Fan, I think that the best is yet to come. Go Broncos !
40+ year Broncos fan here.... two problems with the majority of the fan base- 1. They smoke too many left-handed stogies, if you catch my drift. 2. They still cling to the glory days of Elway and Manning. Hell, many were ready to anoint Tim Tebow as the chosen one (reference point #1- that probably had a lot to do with it). However, to point #2- the last almost decade has been rough on us, to say the least. To be at least in contention, if not playing for a championship pretty regularly for 30 years, only to go on an 8 year skid without even so much as sniffing a playoff game, losing Pat Bowlen, then the ownership drama- along with the team making some bad choices, drafting poorly, hiring coaches that weren't up to task.... I think that Broncos fans would be more patient, and less critical, had Sean Payton been hired in, say 2017 or 2018. But after eight years of personnel miscues, drama, and overall failure, plus the Chiefs rising to utter dominance (I just gagged a little bit as I typed that), Broncos fans are desperate for their team to return to their winning ways, and overly critical of *anything* (coach, GM, or player) that could possibly delay that. I've said it before, and I'll say it again- what Elway (and later Manning) accomplished in Denver was epic- but it also made it really, really difficult to be a starting QB for the Broncos, especially if you don't immediately start lighting the field on fire right from the jump. People don't remember when Elway was just some goofy rookie who scrambled around all crazy and threw picks (a lot of picks). They never saw Manning in a Broncos uniform when he threw more INTs than TDs. So Broncos fans just need to learn to be patient again. It took Elway a while. Hell, it even took Manning a little bit once he got there. If Bo Nix is allowed to mature in Sean Peyton's system, he will become a very good QB. Be patient, Broncos Country.
Love my Seahawks defense! But I really liked Bo. Ever since I saw him duel against my Huskies, I have liked that kid. I think he’s going to be a good one.
I think you nailed it. Rich! A lot to be hopeful for as a Broncos fan. Bo Nix is a stud and he’s only going to get better.
And don’t apologize for your take.
All good Rich. Real Broncos fans know what they have in Bo. We are happy to have him.
Rich, as a Bronco fan, I agree with you assertation. He is a rookie QB in his first game, on the road and the Broncos had a chance to win. So, our fans just need to be patient.
I came away from the game disappointed that our wide receivers continue to fail to generate any form of separation, our running game is lackluster, and Bo played how I expect a rookie to play week 1.
Thank you Rich! I've been a Bronco fan since 1980, and watched Elway when I was a youngin' and he played better than Elway. And our best QB became a Hall of Fame QB. That run at the end showed me the Kid doesn't give up.
Bo Nix isn't the problem. If you can't win with that guy, you're in trouble.
A word to describe Broncos fandom: toxic. And they still got a lot to learn, thing that they don't like to do about football. Supporting you, Rich, I Bolieve and In Payton I trust. Ignore those keyboard warriors.
As a bronco fan I don’t read the negative sky is falling other fans. I also agree with you it was his first game and this is a learning season
I agree!! And his maturity is off the charts. He sounded like a ten year veteran after the game. I mean look at their roster! Which team has better talent? Also, that running game was so bad they had to drop back 44 times?!! With a rookie?!! In Seattle?!!! Against arguably the best defensive back unit in the NFC or maybe even the NFL. I'm telling you! In three years, this dude is going to be great!! Just give him better offensive lineman and at least another elite receiver!
@@ToddMitchell-zk1fy O-line? Give him some new fans that will appreciate what this kid could do. I watch him while he was in Oregon. There’s a reason why Oregon was ranked high .
Don't understand a lot of these fans.. it really is pathetic. After all Bo went through in the first 3 quarters, he led a nice drive down the field and ran it in himself, (in a very smart and savy way I might add.. that fake!) No, I agree with Rich.. some would say the toughest place to play away, against an unknown, but now known great defence.. no run game, dropped passes and penalties at the wrong time. He's fine. [people don't think well when they're emotional.. especially uneducated fans]
Great call imo. Happened at Auburn, happened during first preseason game, happening now. He starts shaky, adjusts fast, learns fast, and improves. I think this was normal and expected and he is resilient and will bounce back.
As a Broncos fan for almost 30 years, the word for DEN fandom is toxic: toxic and obnoxious, those are two words. That is why I stepped aside from the fan club I myself created here in CR, and better speak with a 0.01% of truly focused fans and eager to learn, not those fairweather bandwagoners who appeared after SB50 or after and don't understand how football works (it is football, not fútbol soccer as many LATAM fans want to compare it with). I Bolieve and I believe in Payton. Football is a marathon,not a 100 mt sprint race.Patience and time,I look at the Lions for example,or the Texans after a dead cap chaos and so other examples. Thank you for your opinion, Rich,really liked it and encouraging for me as a Broncos fan. A MHS to you from Costa Rica. Go Broncos! ¡Vamos Broncos!
Completely agree Rich.
As a Broncos Fan; I support this message.
I was at the game, it was too loud to hear myself think. Bo put in a solid effort and I am excited to have him as our QB, I am a BOliever!
I was at the game with my adult son. I agree with your assessment.
Thank you Rich. You know ball.
Bo nix needs to grow. I was around when we had a rookie quarterback that was thought to ruin the Broncos. I still love to look back at John Elway and watch how he grew into the great quarterback he became. We have to be patient.
Rich has my exact thoughts. Dude made his mistakes, but his team failed him just as much. Add Seattle having a defensive mastermind at HC now and their stadium being easily one of the toughest in the NFL to play in and I can very much be patient with Nix. Dude shined at times and wow is he even faster than I thought.
As a bronco fan I agree with you 100%. The game didn't go well, but the entire offense underperformed. Nix will be fine. Keep your head up and call em as you see em.
Watching Bo Nix is fun ! He's a special athlete with tons of talent.
I am a broncos fan and appreciate your take. I felt Bo Nix did very well considering the extremely tough environment, it was his first NFL game and start, as well against one of the best defensive head coaches and defensive schemes.
As someone who's been watching Rich Eisen for 12 years now , trust me when I say this man knows what he's talking about. When he says these kinds of things about a player he's right 95% of the time. Real broncos fans trust the process and believe in Bo Nix and this team and this coaching staff
been a fan since there crazy run to sb 50 win I get it there hurt from the qb carousel and I feel the whole Russ situation really dug the dagger in to our hearts but you have to be patient everything that happened from 2016 to now is not Nix’s fault he’s a rookie and unfortunately he got drafted to an inpatient fan base that just keeps looking at it’s bad exes if he went to a more understand team there would probably be some sanity from the fans but I’m personally glad we have BO In 🧡💙 surprise fair take from Rich Eisen
Bo was ready to go win that game with 1:40 left even after getting no help from his offense , I believe he would have took denver down the field and walked out of there with a W had Browning not jumped off sides
Thank you Rich
Coming from a Broncos fan, this fanbase needs to learn one word: patience.
Ctfu patience is dealing with the QBs we’ve dealt with since the Super Bowl. He needs to be better asap
@@brandonjackson6323 This is exactly what I’m talking about
@@crisantechris lol ok he was the worst qb this weekend maybe he can be second worst next week that’s a step in the right direction
@@brandonjackson6323 He was?
@@crisantechris name someone who did worse than him? Don’t say Caleb he didn’t turn the ball over
In the same vein as other broncos fans, there is a LOT to like about what he DID as well as DIDN'T DO. Seattle is LOUD, It's his first game etc and he took it in stride. Once the game was more on the line at the end, he took ownership and did his best to get within a possession. Some of us Bronco "FANS" have become so impatient and arrogant. Do they want either Wilson or Stidham out there? I doubt it. His teammates are backing him time and time again. The best thing about it that they're ready t run through a wall for Bo. Their opinions are the ONLY ones that matter.
As a lifelong Bronco's fan, I am so tired of some of the other fans. Unless someone walks out and looks like a late career Elway or Manning they think we need to move on. I am excited for Bo and I like some of the things I saw on the field. The run for the end zone and the little pump fake to freeze the guy so he could spin around him into the end zone was a beauty. The Broncos are mostly a young team and I am excited to see them grow together and can't wait to see where they are towards the end of this year and next year. I feel hope for once that we are on the right track and I am ready for the journey,
Nix will be a stud. He has an absolute winning attitude. You’re 💯 % right! Don’t doubt yourself.
Spot on Rich! Go Broncos!
I saw a lot of potential in Bo Nix. I've been a Broncos fan for 41 years. I'm not used to the amount of losing the team has been going through the last 8 years. But, I believe Bo Nix will be the real deal. We just gotta be patient. I saw the dropped passes, the lack of a running game, no yards after the catch....I saw it all, including Bo's mistakes as well. But, I can see we are on the path of getting back to our winning ways !
Die hard Broncos fan and I agree saw a lot of positives in Bo Nix, receivers weren't separating, run game was MIA so what do you expect Bo to do? It's only one game, every match up is different I think Bo's gonna do fine this year
Thanks to Elway and Manning, our (Denver's) expectations at QB are such that every play must be a glorious touchdown miracle. I think Bo did fine for his first game. He has a bright future.
The Seahawks have a very underrated defense. Macdonald runs very complex schemes that wouldn’t be ideal for a season opener for any QB let alone a rookie QB.
As a Broncos fan, I am 100% behind Nix. Our fanbase can be brutal. They also can have unrealistic expectations. I have been a fan for 50 years and I remember watching Elway struggle mightily in his first game. Imagine if social media existed at that time.
As a lifelong Broncos fan, i saw this game as positive. I saw the good and I saw the bad. But all in all, I thought he did great on what he was given. All so I think it's all the new fans that haven't been a long time, Broncos fan that are giving hate. I remember the time Elway was bad, but we hung in there stuck in there, and we finally got our Super Bowl wins. So I will wait to see how Bo does and wish him the best, and hopefully, he will give us double or triple our Super Bowl winnings.
I agree with Rich. Bo Nix looked unflappable. He's got a lot of learning to do, but he's the man!
Bo looked great. Best performance of any of the rookie QBs
3 pro bowl db's and one of the best defensive lines in the league, and bronco fans expected him to light it up in his very first NFL game.
I'm a lifelong Bronco fan. I thought Seattle's defense played well, Denver couldn't run the ball consistently, and Nix did miss a few throws, and the receivers dropped a few. For crying out loud it's his 1st game as a starting QB and it was in Seattle, one of the hardest places to play. Did anyone think he was going to put up 400 yards with 4 Td's? Let's give him some time.
It's unbecoming to share the passion for orange and blue with some of these guys honestly. I get we're tired of losing, but this rookie had a better start than the last two HOFers we had in their 1st games by a long shot. It's asinine to say Bo isn't great or not it after one game. When he's clicking with a system he knows and builds that confidence the same way he did in Oregon, the dude is going to look so dynamic. That stuff does take time. Bo will be so much better by the end of the season. He just had a very tough assignment his very 1st game. And more are up ahead. If Denver can get to the Raiders with a 2-2 record, that's pretty good all things considering. But everyone expects excellence straight out the gate. Bo's fundamentals are leagues above what you'd expect from a rookie. It will get better over time.
As a broncos fan I was impressed with Bo performance.
I’m a bronco fan. I’m here in Denver majority of us love and believe in Bo!! We Bolieve!!
Those are not real broncos fans ready to hate Bo and you after 1 week. The vast majority of rookies will not be CJ Stroud
As a Seahawks fan, I find it hilarious how everyone it throwing Nix under the bus already... Did any receiver get a single yard after any catch? Most acted like they were afraid of having the ball thrown to them... That pass into triple coverage, as ill advised as that is, why is the receiver just standing there letting 3 Seahawks jump in front of him? Seahawks secondary just dominated that whole game... Blame Nix all you want, I remember Manning doing just as bad some years ago....
1 0 0 %. This was a huge problem for us all game. We had almost 0 Y.A.C. That defense came ready to play.
Better have a plan for TJ watt.
I've been pounding the table for Bo since before the draft. Looked great in camp and the pre-season. One thing i know for a fact is that there isnt a bigger critic of the way he played his first game than Bo Nix, himself! Bo is a student of the game and he will correct those things he did wrong, he will settle down and he will be a star in this league! Even if it takes him the whole year to get a grasp on the NFL, im riding with Bo Nix all the way! He wasn't helped by plenty of dropped passes, poor pass protection and an aggressive defense, or the fact that the run game was abandoned early on. I have hope in Bo and i have faith in Sean Payton to correct the growing pains in time. LETS GO BO!
Nix showed promise during the game. He’s great.
Don't apologize Richy!!! Real die hard Bronco fans love you and respect your opinion. All facts. You've called alot of good games in good years for us and never have a bias. Please excuse our bandwagons. Every team has em. 🙄🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🙏🏾✊🏾 U good in my book OG.
As a Broncos fan, I'm dwelling on the positive after the game. I can agree that most of the fan base, unfortunately, just doesn't think that way.
When the schedule popped up, I saw the word "BYE" and the first thing I thought was "GOOD BYE, WE'LL SEE YA NEXT YEAR." I'm sure they will be happy when the draft comes around.
Rich, I’m a Bronco Fan! I agree with what you saw! Give the kid a chance! One game!!!
I'm a Broncos fan and i agree with you. There was A LOT of things that didn't go right for us, in that game. Refs screwed us a few times. Nix wasn't perfect and needs a lot of work, but I'm confident that he will improve.
As a lifelong Broncos fan I totally agree with you. I think Bo is the guy I really do. I just think we have had such bad offense for the past decade I think they are frustrated
He's got more potential than any of the quarterbacks since Manning. Let him grow while Payton builds a team around him.
I may be able to remember this better than some of today's Bronco fans I'm 73 years old but John Elway didn't have a very good first season with the Broncos. I think that we need to allow Bo Nix to develop.
I think Broncos fans had it really good for a long time and now after nine years of sucking we’ve lost our patience. I agree with Rich that I still see great potential in Nix. It was his first game as a rookie. He’s going to struggle at times. It was a good take Rich!
I'M WITH YOU RICH,,,
I agree with Rich! The Broncos don’t have any legit #1 receivers, they were unable to run the ball effectively, outside of Bo who was the Broncos leading rusher. He was in a hostile atmosphere and he was under duress most the game. I think he showed poise and competitiveness, and he will only get better each and every week. I am a big Broncos fan and have been since the early seventies. The fans in those days were diehards, and the fans today are simply fair weather fans!
100% agree with everything said in this video. But the next 6 defences all have elite pass rushers. I liked what I saw.
I love the Broncos I have since I was a kid in the 60s. I won the punt pass and kick competition in the region in my little Denver bronco helmet. Good times. We just don’t have the talent right now but we will at some point. I have faith that before I am not on this earth anymore we will win another Super Bowl.
Amen! Bronco Country, RELAX! GO BO!!!
The very casual bronco fans think its panic time and expected Bo Nix to be an instant hall of famer. The ones who know ball arent worried one bit. All things considered, it wasnt a terrible game, and the thing I loved from Bo was he got better as the game went on. Most younger QBs throw a pick or two and they get worse as the game progresses, but Bo did not.
I'm so glad I'm not the only Broncos fan that's not worried. Extremely hard place to play. A good defense. Bo Nix has to have time to develop just like any rookie. Caleb Williams also didn't look very good at all and look at the talent around him. Nix will be fine. We just have to get some better rushing production to help out
Bo Nix was not the problem yesterday.
Go Broncos 🐴
I agree completely with Rich, he made some rookie mistakes but he stood tall throughout with very little help from the run game. Bo will be just fine.
