The Denver Broncos are the epitome of a team not playing up to expectations. I mean, you go out and trade for a guy who is supposed to save your franchise at the quarterback position, you give up a ton of assets, you pay him a large amount of money, and he doesn't start the season well.
Then, you fire the guy that coached this franchise into an abyss, and you fire all of his staff as well. You hire new guys, and a coach that coached Aaron Rodgers, and it almost doesn't even matter.
The team isn't even playing up to expectations, or even right below expectations. Instead, they are playing like there are no expectations. This team is playing worse than it ever has over the last five or six years. And, when I say this team, I mean the offense and the coaching. The defense has been the best it has been in five years, at least.
It's the fact that they are shooting themselves in the foot. It's the fact that they are beating themselves, teams aren't beating them. It's the fact that nothing is changing. I don't think I'm the only one that feels that way too. In fact, I think some Broncos players think that.
"Everyone knows the definition of insanity, and we can't keep doing the same things week in and week out and think things are going to change," star safety Justin Simmons said after the game.
It sounds like the players are absolutely done with what is going on. They are tired of losing, and I would be too. Think about it. This team has been losing consistently for years, and this was supposed to be the year they stop those bad habits.
And guess what, it's even worse. So, I'm not mad at Simmons at all for what he said. I just hope that the locker room is still together. Maybe Simmons is sending a message calling out coaching, or maybe he isn't. Either way, the Broncos players are tired of losing,
