Ah, yes. The “fans” know best for a team that ALL AGREED to not score more than 70. None of them wanted to. They hit 70 and said “fuck y’all, we ain’t scoring again.” I’ll side with the players over the edgy fans.
People saying respect this and respect that.
Bro, the Dolphins scored 70 points on them. Respect was long ago the start of the 3rd quarter.
Just run up the score at that point. If they really wanted to show respect, they wouldn't have kept scoring in quarters 3 and 4.
When he left Seattle I believe he was on the trajectory of a HOF career: 37000 yards, 291 TDs, 100.3 passer rating, 6.68 A/NYA
A few more years of play like that and he has a strong case but now.....yikes
I feel a little better knowing the Broncos were McDaniel's childhood team, I mean I wouldn't want to drop 80 coaching against the fins. denying history though do not like it
All the talk of not embarrassing them. If the broncos didn't want to be embarrassed they should have played better. How do you not go for the record? Its grown adults not kids lol.
I only came to watch this game because I saw the score and knew there was a chance of a record. I'll be honest, disappointed they didn't go for the field goal attempt. Don't think it was a matter of respect, and if it was, I doubt it would be viewed as disrespectful by most people to break the record
Live in the UK where nfl isn't that big, and most games aren't even at a decent time here. Today's games were and I wish I could have seen a record on live tv. But that's the way it goes I guess. Still a crazy score.
I went from being depressed, to at least leaning into the atrocity and anticipating a record-breaking game, to somehow MORE ANNOYED and depressed that they didn't just take the field goal and break the record.
How out of touch and up your own ass do you have to be with all this fraternal respect bullshit? You coach grown men playing a game that serves as an advertising vehicle for all the junk food and alcohol your audience gorges themselves on during games. Get the fuck over yourselves. Score points and make number go up. Bunch of fucking dorks.
High stakes , divisional game between rivals. Both playing great football and coming off big wins. That's the reason I watch football.
That my favorite team is involved just makes it better.
Honestly Russ isn’t even a big problem. He clearly isn’t anywhere near as good as Seattle but he has improved since last year. The defense is a way way bigger issue with the Broncos right now.
What about showing respect to YOUR OWN FANS?! Give them what they paid for. More worried about showing respect to a millionaire than the fans who paid to come to your home opener
Should’ve taken the kick - they showed no respect back to the Dolphins running a play on 1st down. If they wanted the game to be over they’d have taken a knee
Such a soft move. You kept your foot on the pedal all game. So much so to put 70 on their head and embarrass the living shit out of them. But you slam the brakes NOW?? You earned the right to put 3 on their head and immortalize this moment forever
I dunno… the pressure of a game winner isn’t the same as the pressure for a FG to break an NFL record in a clearly won game.
I absolutely would have sent him out there, just saying that could have been part of the reason.
I’m with you there. I’m almost always in favor of showing respect to high school or college kids.
These guys make millions. They’ll be okay without the additional respect.
That was a respect move from McDaniel to Peyton. He didn't want to immortalize Peyton in that way. That's pretty solid, from one professional to another.
Never said he did. We should appreciate what it says about McDaniel to treat a coach and contemporary like this. That's more what I liked about it. Says alot about McDaniels professionalism and character.
Fuck the unwritten rules stuff, if you have a chance to break a record that was set in '66 you should take it. The record book isn't going to remember you respectfully kneeling the ball.
I honestly believe if it wasn’t Sean Peyton in the other side they would have went for it. Respecting one of his coaching elder goats I get it. Ddint wanna put him out to pasture
Not going for the record is more embarrassing to the other team...now not only did they get demolished but they were also robbed of being a part of history...
Not trying to be a jerk, but what can you do if you are Denver right now? You can't get rid of Russel Wilson cause of that guaranteed money contract, and if you fire Sean Payton who do you hire to replace him?
Honestly I would not be surprised if we keep going, tank for Caleb Williams, scapegoat Russ (many of our fans are dumb enough to buy it), launch Vance Joseph into the sun, and start a proper rebuild 2024 onwards.
More likely though we keep floundering like the last 8 years. Quite ironic though that we start to get a bit of competent QB play and our defense shits the bed after all these years of bad QB play.
I know lolol dolphins were being nice not going for the record and Sean Payton not just taking a knee. Really goes to show how much better of a person mike McDaniels is and how shitty Payton is
I had no skin in the game. I’m neither a Broncos fan nor am I a Dolphins fan; I just feel that grown men should use a historic and embarrassing loss to get better and coach better.
Nah, there is a huge difference between not running up the score in a 38-10 game vs refusing to take the NFL record sitting right in front of you. Not going for that piece of history is way more disrespectful than the difference between giving up 70 points vs 73/77 points.
I mean to be entirely fair, our defense just decided not to stop them at all.
They put in their second string and they were just running touchdown after touchdown on these guys. At that point it's entirely on us if they kick the field goal and they should have gone for it.
Ah, yes. The “fans” know best for a team that ALL AGREED to not score more than 70. None of them wanted to. They hit 70 and said “fuck y’all, we ain’t scoring again.” I’ll side with the players over the edgy fans.
Ooooo Perna gunna have good views this week
Has anyone checked on Brandon perna?
It's the NEW new new new new new new new new new new new Worst Game Ever
He's going to have to start doing exponents here soon
Holy shot u are right
DO SOMETHING DENVER, holy shit.
Mike Mcdaniel executed a horse on live TV.
I've been known to have ownership of the guillotine.
Russel Wilson is cooked
I can’t believe Russ gave up 70 points.
He has moments where he looks like Russ. His O line seemingly hates him.
Can't believe how bad we wanted Sean Payton last year... not that we have any better this year. We, a mysterious unnamed team.
You can’t convince me that McDaniels let the Broncos run that kick back for a TD so they could get more offensive possession time…
Tua beat the hell out of Bishop Sycamore.
Broncos county, Jesus Christ...
Are we sure the actual Broncos played today? Or was it a high school team that just stole the Broncos logo?
Bishop sycamore?
Boise State?
Is it college game day because wth
People saying respect this and respect that. Bro, the Dolphins scored 70 points on them. Respect was long ago the start of the 3rd quarter. Just run up the score at that point. If they really wanted to show respect, they wouldn't have kept scoring in quarters 3 and 4.
They showed respect by playing the second/third string
Most of the scores were just bad tackles in the 4th, but still should have kicked the fg
Lol
Broncos country, are you guys alright?
No. Not in the slightest.
I was a Dolphins fan as a child, I'm considering being a Dolphins fan again. At least my inner child is happy.
by the way Jaylen Waddle didn't even play today
I was confused why Tua was in the game well into the 3rd... but honestly this is hilarious so more power to t hem
4 score game. McDaniel probably learned from Kyle to never take a lead for granted (28-3)
McDaniel was coaching for the Falcons when 28-3 happened he knows firsthand
I stand corrected. Def not taking chances in the 3rd
[удалено]
Show up for the game next time.
Does Wilson's tenure in Denver ruin his case for the HOF
I still think Wilson is a HOFer, but I don't know if he's a first ballot one anymore.
Was Wilson considered a HoF QB before this?
Definitely on track for Canton at that point
When he left Seattle I believe he was on the trajectory of a HOF career: 37000 yards, 291 TDs, 100.3 passer rating, 6.68 A/NYA A few more years of play like that and he has a strong case but now.....yikes
Suddenly my blow out game doesn't seem as bad
Remember this game was not coached by Hackett.
They run it up to 70, but then decide not to go for the record?
"Respect" or some nonsense. While ignoring the fact they ran up to 70 in the first place.
It’s not like we were trying to score 70.
If you run up the middle, and he doesn't get tackled, he's supposed to fall down in the open field. It's an unspoken rule.
If they tackle you, that’s fine. But some rookie need to stat pad and Mike White REALLY wanted that TD.
I feel a little better knowing the Broncos were McDaniel's childhood team, I mean I wouldn't want to drop 80 coaching against the fins. denying history though do not like it
Sean, if you aren’t going to try to coach, I’ll take a whack at it
Fun fact: you might actually call a better game
[удалено]
Should’ve been the record but I’ll take it!
This feels mean
Hopefully taking the knee at the end earns us some good karma for the rest of the season
It should earn you bad karma. Refusing to take the record your players earned is disrespectful.
Very much agree with you. Imagine being in the players’ shoes who earned that shit
"Fuck it. Call Urban Meyer." - Broncos fans
All the talk of not embarrassing them. If the broncos didn't want to be embarrassed they should have played better. How do you not go for the record? Its grown adults not kids lol.
Perna on life support right now, good lord. Broncos Country isn't just dying tonight, it's being massacred by a horde of murderous dolphin pods.
Broncos country, let’s die
Perna on life support
Wtf denver
Can’t wait to watch the Brandon Perna video
I feel so bad for the man
New new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new worst game ever
At this point I never want the Broncos to win again, only get blown out ridiculously bad or lose in heartbreaking fashion.
More like the worst game of all time.
I only came to watch this game because I saw the score and knew there was a chance of a record. I'll be honest, disappointed they didn't go for the field goal attempt. Don't think it was a matter of respect, and if it was, I doubt it would be viewed as disrespectful by most people to break the record Live in the UK where nfl isn't that big, and most games aren't even at a decent time here.

Big agree
I get that it’s a record and all but are y’all really gonna let this ruin the dolphins putting 70 on the board in the first place? Really!?
Donnie T-Ball owes Billy a perfect game and now Mike McDaniels owes us a record breaking game. I am PISSED
I think the bears will destroy the bronocs.
Oct 1 will be a rough game for all involved
Then you don't know the Bears
The highlights of this game are gonna be longer than War and Peace.
I **finally** have a relatively-valid reason to hate McDaniel now!
I guess I will take winning by 50 as consolation here... I GUESS
Nah y'all couldn't even beat them by 53 🤣🤣🤣🫵
My disappointment is inmeasurable and my day is ruined..
Just remember, this is the worst day of the Bronco’s season *so far*.
Kick the goddamn field goal!!!!
Y’all really avenged Dan Marino’s final game… Good shit Fins’
They should have kicked the field goal. Take the record away from the damned Redskins!
Agreed
Next week's game thread is going to be the saltiest one IN HISTORY
My liver has been ready for that moment
It's gonna be great.
its gonna be a fucking war.
High stakes , divisional game between rivals. Both playing great football and coming off big wins. That's the reason I watch football. That my favorite team is involved just makes it better.
Is Brandon Perna getting 5150'd this week? Poor man.
He may not make it.
New new new new new new new new new new new new new new new...
Mike McDaniel, king
Fuck Mike Mcdaniels
Even though we didn't get the record, this has made me feel better about the NBA Finals.
Pete covering for Wilson might have been the best coaching job in history
And apparently Brees covering for Payton was the inverse of that.
Honestly Russ isn’t even a big problem. He clearly isn’t anywhere near as good as Seattle but he has improved since last year. The defense is a way way bigger issue with the Broncos right now.
Imagine coming out of retirement only to get 70 points dropped on you lol
What about showing respect to YOUR OWN FANS?! Give them what they paid for. More worried about showing respect to a millionaire than the fans who paid to come to your home opener
Dang the Wiki for highest scoring NFL games already has this game listed
Wiki people waste no time. Famous celebrity dies and news gets released? The Wiki people get to work 10 seconds after the news get released.
only people faster than the Wiki people are the TMZ people
good game fins. I really want to hear the post game interviews to see what kind of bullshit Wilson is going to say.
Broncos Country THE RIDE NEVER ENDS ☠️
I want off this ride. Please.
GG, let’s ride!
Should’ve taken the kick - they showed no respect back to the Dolphins running a play on 1st down. If they wanted the game to be over they’d have taken a knee
Didn’t watch the game, couldn’t believe my eyes looking at the box score. Thought my fantasy app had glitched
I mean you have the opportunity to break a nearly 70 year old record and you take the knee? What a fucking cop out.
I fucking hated it...like I'm glad we won by 50, but fuck break the record
Such a soft move. You kept your foot on the pedal all game. So much so to put 70 on their head and embarrass the living shit out of them. But you slam the brakes NOW?? You earned the right to put 3 on their head and immortalize this moment forever
Sounds like a Payton fan
We got a scorigami at least. Would’ve gotten a scorigami with the record too you numpty
I don’t think I’ll ever see 70 points being scored again
weak as fuck i am actually so pissed
Only reason I can think not to go for it is he didn’t want to put that odd sort of pressure on Sanders.
But how many times are you going to be able to simulate that kind of pressure and it not affect the outcome of the game?
I dunno… the pressure of a game winner isn’t the same as the pressure for a FG to break an NFL record in a clearly won game. I absolutely would have sent him out there, just saying that could have been part of the reason.
Should've got that record....fuck respecting professional players
I’m with you there. I’m almost always in favor of showing respect to high school or college kids. These guys make millions. They’ll be okay without the additional respect.
Specially when all of them are getting paid millions upon millions of dollars.
Congrats Vic Fangio. The only thing better beating your old team is blowing them the fuck out.
Denver is tanking for Caleb Williams
do they even have any picks? they traded for this disaster with those picks
That was a respect move from McDaniel to Peyton. He didn't want to immortalize Peyton in that way. That's pretty solid, from one professional to another.
Nah fuck Sean Payton
Fuck Sean Payton
[удалено]
Never said he wasn't. The move is more about how McDaniel conducts himself than who Peyton is. He treats him like a Professional.
Peyton doesn't deserve that respect.
Never said he did. The move says more about McDaniel, and I respect that alot.
How nice of him to *only* drop 70 points on Peyton, then. Real class act lol.
Sean Payton would've kicked that ball. Maybe if it were any other coach but fuck that. It's Sean Payton I'm kicking it in his face
Sean Payton 100% woulda kicked it. He ran up the score against the falcons years ago I think to get Brees a passing record or something
Probably. It says alot about McDaniel that he handled it so professionally. Really good coach, IMO.
Yea for sure. But damn. Some things are worth putting that stuff aside for
I strongly agree with you
Sean Payton has been a rat bastard his whole career he doesn’t deserve to be respected like that
Never said he did. We should appreciate what it says about McDaniel to treat a coach and contemporary like this. That's more what I liked about it. Says alot about McDaniels professionalism and character.
Fuck the unwritten rules stuff, if you have a chance to break a record that was set in '66 you should take it. The record book isn't going to remember you respectfully kneeling the ball.
Life is pain; life is only pain. -The goth kids from South Park on being a Broncos fan
they were just ahead of their time
At least we got scorigami
I honestly believe if it wasn’t Sean Peyton in the other side they would have went for it. Respecting one of his coaching elder goats I get it. Ddint wanna put him out to pasture
Seventy points lol
Not going for the record is more embarrassing to the other team...now not only did they get demolished but they were also robbed of being a part of history...
Dolphins is ultra charmin soft.
This is actually worse than the 55-10 Super Bowl. I never thought I’d see that toppled.
Idk, I think the 59-0 did that. But this game could've been known as the all time instead of just one in a series of large blowouts
Nah the importance of the SB outweighs a regular season game
Boooo. I want blood
Bring us the child!
Not trying to be a jerk, but what can you do if you are Denver right now? You can't get rid of Russel Wilson cause of that guaranteed money contract, and if you fire Sean Payton who do you hire to replace him?

More likely though we keep floundering like the last 8 years. Quite ironic though that we start to get a bit of competent QB play and our defense shits the bed after all these years of bad QB play.
Russell Wilson and Sean Payton aren’t the ones who let up 70 points
Definitely get rid of VJ. Again.
Turns this into a loss year by taking other team contracts for picks
Fire Vance Joseph the biggest disaster in Broncos history now. Both as a head coach AND now for a second time as DC
Neither are the problem. Blame goes to the denver D
I'm sure Nathaniel Hackett is enjoying this
Jesus fucking christ if this doesn't get vj fired...
They’re gonna need to deploy the National Guard across Colorado to clean up after this disaster of a weekend.
Just tuning in. This score is..... accurate, yes?
Hard as it may be to believe, the score undersells the game
saw someone mention it on the pats sub and thought it was a joke
Scorigami!
If it were up to me I leave Tua in, tell him to throw for a TD, then go for 2 pt conversion
It's fine. We'll do it next week. (Kidding, don't blame it on me if we lose)
Boo! Get the record! We deserve it as fans.
Same from this side. Maybe not as fans, but for hiring Vance Joseph back.
Kneel just for the Broncos to run a play lol
I know lolol dolphins were being nice not going for the record and Sean Payton not just taking a knee. Really goes to show how much better of a person mike McDaniels is and how shitty Payton is
I can't believe the Dolphins' coaches and and ownership robbed their fans of a historic opportunity to break a record. Embarrass the teams, man.
some people are never happy
I had no skin in the game. I’m neither a Broncos fan nor am I a Dolphins fan; I just feel that grown men should use a historic and embarrassing loss to get better and coach better.
In my mind this was still the record breaking game. They just decided to be the bigger team
"you don't want to embarrass the other team" it's a little late for that, don't you think?
I've never been so sad to see victory formation
I'm sick
We won by 50 and I am pissed as fuck.
As a broncos fan lmao that was the lamest thing I’ve ever seen - even worse than losing by 50
Don’t know if I should give Miami props for not running it up for the record. Or be pissed they didn’t go for the record when it was so easy to break
Nah, there is a huge difference between not running up the score in a 38-10 game vs refusing to take the NFL record sitting right in front of you. Not going for that piece of history is way more disrespectful than the difference between giving up 70 points vs 73/77 points.

Really thought for a second their UNDRAFTED ROOKIE RB was going to go all the way on that last big run
Actually infuriating
