Denver got Ed Hochuli in the AFCCG, who they also have an undefeated record with.

I'm not a believer of conspiracy theories, but Denver has caught way too many breaks this year - from playing injured opponents, to opponents making boneheaded mistakes in critical moments, to officiating.

Hope your team pounds them from the very beginning and gets out to an enormous lead, so that officiating plays no role in the outcome.

eh, 5 games isn't enough to reasonably raise any eyebrows.  They're in the Super Bowl because they're a good team that won most of their games.  There's surely a few officials that we're undefeated with this year.....  I'm curious if anyone has any legit observations about him.  Has he actually been seen to call games overly in the Bronco's favor?  Is he more of a "let them play" ref or one that likes to over-officiate?  I honestly have never even noticed this guy's name before.

Broncos are 5-0 in the games he's officiated. Guess we get to debunk another streak

He was also the official in Denver's Super Bowl two years ago.

Uh. By my math, they can't be undefeated then when he officiates.

Its the guy that reffed our MNF against the Pats where they picked up the flag against Luke. As long as we don't see some Joey Crawford/Lebron treatment towards Peyton I don't think its a big deal

First off, the Panthers were undefeated with every single NFL officiating crew this year except 1.  So those stats are just dumb when talking about good teams.

And it is really hard to make any observations about Clete Blakeman when it is not his crew that will be doing the Super Bowl.  It will be an all-star crew.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce

      Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
