Wow I had no idea it was the pick they got from us that had the gambling suspension.

Brett Favre "there's a reason Seattle got rid of him (Wilson)" Jason Whitlock having the convo we all have been having for 5 years on here.... Wilson's brand and image obsession killing his on-field career.

The Broncos traded for Wilson last year for him to be a superstar, not a game manager. Wilson did fine in the game manager role on Sunday but it wasn't enough. At home, against a Las Vegas Raiders team that isn't expected to be great this season, Denver put up just 16 points and lost 17-16.

Wilson playing for Payton was different, but it's hard to say it was much better. Wilson was 27 of 34 for 177 yards. It's hard to win when your quarterback averages 6.6 yards per completion.

Wilson was content to check it down most of the game and that did keep the chains moving and avoided turnovers. But he's supposed to be more than that for the Broncos. The first glimpse of him this season wasn't entirely promising.

Got a good chuckle out of this. For a guy that loved the deep ball, it always blew me away that Russ would throw a bomb on third and two, but check down on third and 9!

But Denver went three-and-out, with Wilson hitting tight end Adam Trautman well short of the sticks on a third-and-11. The Broncos punted and never saw the ball again.

Will RW go 4 - 11 again this season? Probably not, but it is starting to look as though the Broncos will have another losing season.

For your amusement, Payton is simplifying how the plays are called

Preseason was smooth, and then Week 1 was smooth,” he said. “We probably had too much with some of these plays. Looking back on it, that’s something we can correct on our end and be quicker. There’s that happy balance of getting it in fast, but also getting it called to the line. I’m sure we were a little bit heavy relative to the length of some of the plays.”

Many interpreted Payton’s comments to reflect a not-so-subtle dig at Wilson’s ability to hear the play call and to communicate it quickly. During Payton’s time with the Saints and Drew brees, that was never an issue.

Others viewed the situation as partial vindication of one-and-done coach Nathaniel Hackett, given that getting the plays communicated from the sideline to the quarterback to the rest of the offense was an issue throughout the season.

Here’s the biggest difference. Last year, it lingered. This year, Payton is trying to nip it in the bud.

Maybe it wasn't Haskell either? They had the same issues last year.
