The Denver Broncos’ debut game of the season was a disappointing one, and it appears that criticism of the team’s predecessor by new head coach Vic Fangio may have been premature.
Fangio had been critical of the Broncos’ previous head coach Vance Joseph, saying that the team lacked discipline and that Joseph had not done enough to instill a winning culture. However, after the Broncos’ 27-24 loss to the Oakland Raiders, it appears that Fangio’s criticism may have been unjustified.
The Broncos’ offense was lackluster and their defense was unable to contain Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, who threw for 259 yards and three touchdowns. The Broncos’ offense was unable to get going, and their defense was unable to make any big plays. The team was also plagued by costly penalties, which ultimately cost them the game.
It is clear that the Broncos still have a lot of work to do if they are to be successful this season. However, it appears that Fangio’s criticism of Joseph may have been premature. While Joseph may not have been able to get the most out of his players, it is clear that the Broncos still have a long way to go before they can be considered a winning team.
The Broncos will have to improve in all facets of the game if they are to have any chance of success this season. It is clear that Fangio’s criticism of Joseph was premature and that the team still has a lot of work to do if they are to become a winning team.
