When Wilson joined the Broncos, the NFL world expected to see his on-field antics as well as game-winning performances. Wilson, though, disappointed Broncos fans on Thursday against the Colts. Therefore, the Twitteratis displayed every emotion imaginable, from pain to rage to humorously mocking the Broncos quarterback.
