The Broncos don't kick field goals. Though they've had a bye, they've only attempted 8 field goals all season compared to our 15. They've scored 6 more touchdowns than us.
Dan Bailey is a weapon, but we've hurt ourselves, missing out on touchdowns that would have helped seal games much earlier.
The Broncos don't do this, and we're going to need to get on that level.
I'm hoping that this offense becomes even more efficient as the season goes on, and that we start utilizing more of our weapons to facilitate that efficiency.
I honestly think this might be a result of an over reliance on the run. And to head off those who can't understand nuance, I'm not suggesting giving up on the run, rather to shift the balance slightly towards the pass when the situations call for it.
I feel like this offense is only operating at about 65-70 percent efficiency. Not until we get guys like Dunbar, Beasley, and Escobar more involved, will we see this offense really open up completely.
I think we have weapons that Denver doesn't have, that no team has.
We need to start getting the scoring going in the 1st quarter. We're 19th in the NFL in points in the 1st quarter, even though we're 2nd in the nfl in 1st quarter TOP.
We're top 10 in every other quarter.
I think we have things a bit backwards. We're running to set up the pass, when we should be passing to set up the run and closing out games once we have leads. As a result we're in this close games throughout and have to hope the defense closes things out at the end.
