Broncos Hit Rock Bottom in 51-23 Humilating Loss to the Eagles, Fall to 3-5

There isn't a lot of positive things to write about after Denver's 51-23 loss to the Eagles in Philly on Sunday. I thought the Broncos might be able keep this game close and give the Eagles and Carson Wentz some trouble but I was dead wrong. There isn't too much to say about the game, but here are my "Five Points" about the latest debacle by the Broncos....

1) The Broncos got blitzkrieged early by the Eagles and they had no answers on defense. Once they got down 17-3, you knew the game was over. I guess it was a matter of time before the defense finally collapsed in a game, and Sunday was that game. They got out-executed and out-coached, and the Eagles offense completely took control of the game and ran away with it.

2) Brock Osweiler wasn't good, but he performed the same way Trevor Siemian would have played anyway. He finished 19-38 for 209 yards 1TD (Garbage time), and 2 INT. I wasn't expecting a big-time performance but I thought he might be able to play smart enough to avoid turnovers and keep the Broncos in the game. His interception when they were down in their own end down 10-3 in the first quarter was a really bad. He looked like his pass was intended for the Eagles defender instead of Demaryius Thomas. It led to a Philly touchdown to make it 17-3 and the game was pretty much over from that standpoint.

3) The Broncos commit so many penalties every week. They hold on offense, they hold or block in the back on special teams returns, they go offside on defense all the time, and it is week after week they make these mistakes. It's pretty bad. That is bad coaching and bad football all around, and it was really embarrassing this week.

4) I don't think the Broncos quit in this game. I think that narrative was being thrown around after the game on Sunday, and I don't think the Broncos quit-even on defense. I think they got out-executed and got flat out beat, but I don't think they quit.

5) This was the first time the Broncos gave up 50 or more points in a game since 2010 when the Raiders dropped 59 on the Broncos in Denver. They game led to the firing of head coach Josh McDaniels. The Broncos have now lost four straight games and this game was the worst of the bunch. The Broncos were simply no match for the Eagles, and they look like they have a lot more problems than just the lack of a QB at this point. At 3-5, it doesn't get any easier for the Broncos as the Patriots are coming into Denver next Sunday night. It is a tough time for the Broncos and the fanbase right now. We haven't been here since the Josh McDaniels-Kyle Orton days. We still have eight games left to turn things around, but it is hard right now to see how the Broncos can get out of this mess and make something of this season.
