00:00Now, if we flip things over to the Denver side, what we saw from them, obviously.
00:05A clear step back with Stidham at QB compared to when we saw Bo Nix.
00:09The offense.
00:10Wasn't efficient.
00:10They did score early, and I thought they were going to hang in the game for the majority of it, which they did.
00:15They missed a couple field goals.
00:16They passed on a field goal.
00:17They went forward on fourth.
00:19They didn't take the field goal.
00:20You know, really, I think that the Broncos have a ton of pieces, and with Bo Nix back.
00:25Next year, potentially with Dobbins back next year, they still have enough on the table.
00:30And with Peyton as the head coach, they'll be right in the mix next year.
00:32So I don't view this as a bad loss.
00:35For the Broncos, I just see it as they played a good team, and circumstantially, they were always going to be a step behind.
00:40And they got exposed, right?
00:42In that matchup, that's where maybe Jared Stidham.
00:45Exposed the team because he wasn't as mobile, let's just say, as Bo Nix.
00:50And again, they were up against it, against a very overactive defense that was able to force.
00:55Turnovers and put their team in a position to win.
00:57So you're absolutely right.
00:59I think when you look at it.
01:00Sean Payton in Denver, big picture, they have young playmakers there.
01:03Pap Ryan.
01:05That got hurt in that matchup again with a hamstring injury.
01:07Went out Troy Franklin.
01:09That didn't.
01:10Play will be back.
01:11Obviously, if they keep Marvin Mims, he's an explosive playmaker.
01:15And obviously, Court and Sutton, they have the playmakers in the passing.
01:20Attack to potentially challenge for an AFC West championship.
01:23And as long as R.J. Harvey.
01:25is healthy, they have a dynamic potential one-two punch at running back.
01:29So I.
01:30I think they'll be there.
01:31I just think, again, when you look at that matchup for Denver.
01:35With the backup quarterback, right, you have to take points.
01:39I know you want to be.
01:40Aggressive and you're up seven-nothing.
01:41But when you're in field goal range, you kick the field goal to go up.
01:4510-nothing and then really put the pressure on Drake May.
01:48That was going from one.
01:50Score to two scores where you still have the advantage of being able to.
01:55Make mistakes and that's where Sean Payton failed his team in that matchup.
02:00Right.
02:00When it's all said and done, Denver didn't play a perfect game.
02:03The chips were kind of stacked.
02:05Against them.
02:05But the future is bright to your point.
02:07Knicks and the rest of the receivers will be back.
02:09They have a.
02:10Great offensive line.
02:11They have a great defense.
02:12To me, this is just about fine-tuning things with Denver.
02:15And the future will be up and up from here.
