Why The Denver Broncos Coaching Staff Will Hold The Team Back
The Broncos are coming off a 24-17 victory over AFC West rivals Kansas City Chiefs and yet again, it was a game that was closer than it should be. Yet again the Broncos got complacent, and yet again the Broncos almost gave up a lead. There has to come a time where the coaching staff realizes that maybe they’re the problem. How can you have Von Miller, DeMarcus Ware, T.J. Ward, Aqib Talib, and so on and so forth, and let a Jamaal Charles-less Chiefs pick apart your defense?

Then there’s the offense. The run blocking needs work, but yet again, conservative play calling will be the death of this Broncos team. How can you expect to have lazy 3 and outs and beat Seattle in Seattle next week? You won’t. Last year the Broncos would beat the brakes off of teams despite the defense, this year it seems the Broncos are relying too hard on the defense to hold small leads, instead of shooting off to 30 point plus leads.
It’s pretty simple, really. Coach John Fox is known for being conservative, and that will be the death of this team, unless that gets fixed in the short term. This whole get a lead in the second half and then run the clock out from the third quarter has to stop. Montee Ball and C.J. Anderson are good RB’s, but at the end of the day the line blocking isn’t there, and it forces the Broncos into 2nd and long situations, and 3rd and long situations.
If the Broncos play like they have the past two weeks, they aren’t winning the Super Bowl. The defense alone is incredibly undisciplined and the offense tends to be conservative in the second half, and that all comes down to coaching. Fox and Del Rio are great coaches, but at the end of the day a team like the Denver Broncos should be winning these games, and winning these games big. It starts from the top.
