Horse's Mouth

The guys discuss the hiring of new Head Coach Nathaniel Hackett and whether or not the Broncos got the right guy. Plus, a review of the insane 2021 season we just experienced, and more of everyone’s favorite topic – Quarterbacks!

The 21-22 season is nearing an end, and the Broncos have left themselves with no shot at the playoffs heading into Week 18. In this episode, we reflect on the two recent losses and all of the shortcomings throughout the year. When turning our focus forward, it naturally led to a lot of early QB and coach chatter and what moves could potentially be made at those positions ahead of the 22-23 season. So many possibilities, and very little room for error for GM George Paton!

Following a season-defining loss that essentially put an end to the Broncos playoff hopes, can they at least get revenge against a struggling Raiders team before turning the page to the 2022 season? Drew Lock will get his first opportunity to start, and although it is intriguing, could it be to the detriment of the team?

Other highlights for this episode include:

-Expectations for Pat Shurmur and Vic Fangio as the season comes to an end
-Would Derek Carr be an appreciable upgrade over Teddy Bridgewater?
-The disappointing performance from the Special Teams units
-Current Super Bowl and MVP predictions

The guys pay respect to Denver Broncos legend Demaryius Thomas following his tragic death.

After failing to claim the division against the Chiefs, the Broncos beat the Lions convincingly and still find themselves in playoff contention heading into week 15. They’ll have to rally these last 4 weeks and play their best ball of the year. However, simply starting this stretch 1-0 is pretty much a must. A win would essentially eliminate one opponent from the race. A loss, on the other hand, would likely leave the Broncos as the ones on the outside looking in when the dust settles…

Preston and Logan discuss the past couple performances and what can be expected in the weeks to come. Does this seem like a team trending toward making a run at the Lombardi? Or will this train get derailed before it even leaves the station? First up is an intimidating opponent seeking redemption, and with an abundance of offensive weapons at that. Yikes…

It’s week 13 in the NFL, and the Denver Broncos are 6-5 with an opportunity to usurp the Kansas City Chiefs atop the AFC West. Who would’ve thought? This young, unproven team has a stage on primetime television to show the world they have arrived. But what team gets off the plane? The one that beat the Chargers and Cowboys? Or the one that was embarrassed by the Eagles and a Case Keenum-led Browns team? Highlights for this episode include:

-Is the interior of our O-line prepared for Chris Jones?
-Who is going to guard Kelce and Hill?
-Is the Chiefs defense good now?
-Is there any advantage in having a lot of new faces that the Chiefs haven’t encountered yet?
-& more!

Much to our surprise, the Broncos were able to rise to the occasion and pull off an all-around dominant victory against the Chargers in week 12. Highlights for this episode include:

-Should Rypien be promoted to backup QB?
-PS2’s Defensive Player of the Week performance & the rejuvenated defensive unit
-Teddy Two Gloves fights back
-Is Javonte Williams our best offensive weapon?
-and more!

In a season of must-win games that the Broncos have … well, not won … Can they come away with a victory against their divisional foe in week 12 and keep the hopes alive? At this point, Justin Herbert is almost certainly the real deal. And apparently he can run too? How will the Broncos keep him in check and the game within reach? The Chargers are beatable, but will the Broncos show up with enough tenacity following the bye to get the job done? Tune in for Preston’s and Logan’s breakdown of the upcoming game and more!

The rollercoaster season continues as the Broncos find themselves back in the L column after their week 10 game vs the Eagles. With mostly divisional games left, they still control their destiny, but do we have any hope that they can seize the opportunity? Tune in to hear us break down the good and bad from the game, and what the loss could mean for the future of the team. Stick around for our opinions on what impact Pat Shurmur’s absence had on the game, Vic Fangio’s future, whether or not Drew Lock should see some playing time this year, and more!

Preview of what should be a competitive game against an unfamiliar, yet intriguing, opponent. Is Hurts’ success legit or is it garbage-time glory? How do we keep DeVonta Smith in check? Can Teddy feast on this susceptible secondary? Are the injuries going to prove to be too much to overcome this year? Tim Patrick or Courtland Sutton? And more!

So much to like from such a strong win by the Broncos against a legit contender. How good is the duo of Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon? Was going for it on 4th down multiple times a sign of disrespect by the Cowboys? Has the defense rediscovered their identity for the post-Von Miller era? With the AFC still wide open and for the taking, can the Broncos seize the opportunity? And more!
