Week 3 is rolling the dice and serving up some touchdowns on a silver platter, with the Buffalo Bills and the Dallas Cowboys gearing up for a hat trick of wins. Well, another hat trick has been brewing too. The Denver Broncos are currently stuck in a three-game fumble at a score of 0-3 after a brutal 70-20 beatdown. It’s like déjà vu, as this marks the third unsuccessful match in what was supposed to be the Broncos’ starting QB Russell Wilson’s comeback season. 

And let’s consider that the former Broncos athlete Shannon Sharpe is not happy. No, sir. In fact, the ‘First Take’ host, is incredibly embarrassed by the Broncos’ performance against the Miami Dolphins today.

Was it bad gameplay choices or a case of bad coordination? Say what you will about Nathaniel Hackett, at least he waited until Week 16 to submit a total dud. It took Payton three weeks.

Dilly dilly, to the pit of misery.

Denver’s day defies any and all explanation. It’s like the Broncos went from tragedy to comedy to absurdity. If defensive coordinator Vance Joseph continues to be part of the team, Payton’s coaching cred with the team and the NFL might take a major hit. The Broncos have lost 122 points in eight quarters on Joseph’s watch. Through just three games. They say practice makes perfect, but it can work the other way too. Keep repeating those losses, and it becomes a habit. The Broncos seem stuck in this endless loop like they’re caught in a Madden glitch.

With their fourth coaching staff in seven seasons, it’s becoming crystal clear that it doesn’t matter who’s calling the shots – the Broncos just can’t seem to find their winning groove. The Broncos played what could easily pass as one of their worst games ever. Bad gameplay choices or Bad coordination? Whatever it was. It cost the Broncos a big loss. However, unlike the previous two matches this match was not lost because of  Russell Wilson. In fact, the QB played one of his best plays of the season.
