I’m not usually a doomer, but Bo Nix’s lack of accuracy this season crept up again yesterday. He missed Mims in the end zone when he was wide open. Missed Mims on the flea flicker when he was all by himself with nothing but empty field and the end zone in front of him. Missed a wide open Sutton in the 4th quarter on 3rd down which would’ve at least kept us on the field, but probably would’ve been a TD. Who knows how the game would’ve played out if he hit either one of the throws to Mims earlier in the game. But the miss to Sutton on 3rd down in 4th quarter brought the chargers right back onto the field after they just tied the game 20-20. Broncos and Nix have a lot of work to do. I’m not sure what Bo’s issue is this year, does he have bad mechanics? Is he too amped up? He does seem a bit frantic at times. Hopefully Broncos get settled in soon

  2. He started slow last year too. I think he will get it together soon. He’s still flashing big time talent imo. I just wish he’d use his legs more like he did last year.

  3. First drive of the game. Missed a wide open TE for a first down. Pass was what.. 6-7 yards? Missed him.

  4. He needs to get his mechanics more consistent.

    It’s almost like he’s a sophomore QB under a ton of pressure in the pocket.

  5. I said this yesterday, but if you’re a wr in the nfl and the ball hits any part of your hand you should catch it. The throws weren’t perfect but if you get paid millions to catch it and it hits your hands…

  6. When we drafted him, one of the problems scouts noted was he didn’t have a long ball. This is the kind of thing they had probably seen in other games. I’m no expert but this seems to be fixable. He probably has too much going on in his head and throws a little too hard. I expect to see improvement as the season goes on.

  7. I think a big problem is Payton and his packages

    He spends 3 games and training camp trying out different combinations of players for his various concepts and then regular season starts and guys aren’t on the same page yet

  9. He’s a second year QB being asked to do more against good squads while having one true receiving threat at his disposal. Should we expect more? Sure. But the context is important.

    I feel the time to panic is if he were to show zero improvement the rest of this year and/or not have these things tightened up by year 3.

    Close losses in winnable games are absolutely frustrating, but remember we’re still not even fully out of Russ cap hell at this point.

  10. The first two were bad yeah but I swear the throw in the fourth quarter to Sutton wasn’t bad Sutton was just moving really slow for some reason

  11. Yes, but why people doesn’t shit on Sean? What was that offensive plays he called? Why tf we use only one receiver in one game? Why Troy Franklin had three drops? Why our TEs generate only negative yards? Why O-Line fails to make gaps on run plays? Where is Pat Bryant? Why don’t we use him from the slot when we don’t have our best receiver TE?

  12. Glad he has enough of a downfield arm and can put some arch on those throws. That was an issue for him coming out of college. He just needs to set his feet a bit more. He’s got happy feet in the pocket like last year.

  13. That flea flicker hit Mims square in the hands. It was a touch catch but he had two hands on it.

  14. First and foremost: He had a back injury that has clearly impacted his mobility.

    Secondly: he refuses to set his damn feet. He keeps trying the Pat Mahomes twinkle toes method where he hops or throws off his back foot.
