  1. I made a bold prediction in the preseason that Humphrey would lead the team in receiving. It was dumb and had no chance, but if he got more opportunities to play this year I think he could’ve.

  2. Humphrey and Brandon Johnson are solid WRs especially since neither of them are physically gifted, take both over Jeudy.

  3. He just seems like a goofy nice dog so I will only refer to Stidham as Goldendoodle going forward

  4. Wait, Broncos QBs are allowed to step UP into the pocket and throw? Where was the flag on that play?

  5. My favorite part so far:

    Beginning of the game – “Stidham is a stud, he was awesome in High School. So much potential. Blah blah blah.”

    Quarter Two: “I am not sure this is the pacing SP wants. Longest completion was 10 yards.”

    The duality of NFL Announcing I guess.

  6. Confidence builder right there. Stepped up in the pocket and hit a guy in stride. What a play!

  7. Here’s what happens in the 2nd half.

    Stidham sustains an injury and Wilson is forced to play.

    Wilson intentionally dislocates his knee in the middle of a play; promptly tearing his acl and mcl.

    Broncos are forced to pay him the extra money for not being able to pass a physical in March.

  8. The chargers defense is bad but they are throwing because they want to knock KC out of the playoffs obviously lol

  9. Steps up into pocket, looks like he’s gonna run but keeps his eyes downfield for the completion. Didn’t see that from Russ once this season, too much panicking with pressure.

  10. Playoffs or not, if we could just finish with a winning season for the first time in six years that would be nice.

  11. Stidham’s taking us AT LEAST to the AFC championship💪🏻
    (I’m in depression after this season so I’m outrageously delusional)

  12. For everyone wanting to say that Stidham is doing the exact same thing Wilson has been doing all year.

    THAT is what Wilson hasn’t been doing (and no I’m not talking about the score itself) Wilson would have panicked, spun a 360 and took a sack. Stidham stepped up into the pocket, extended the play and found the WR downfield for the TD.

    YES, Stidham’s accuracy is rough, a lot of that can be attributed to the fact that he and his WR’s have no chemistry yet. That comes from reps together and it is going to get better.

    Stidham has had some nice poise in the pocket, he isn’t seeing Ghosts and freaking out over everything like Russ has been this season.

    That’s why I say I like what I am seeing so far. I know he’s still playing rough, I am seeing potential there. It’s more than just the immediate results, what can happen with a little more practice and chemistry. And remember he’s playing with a bunch of practice squad WR’s currently.
