Is the Broncos' glass half-full or half-empty?
looked about as powerful as a pop gun, leaving even the most die-hard loyalists to wonder if the Broncos' 2-1 record and status as co-leader in the AFC West will turn out to be a short-lived hallucination. three-and-outs over the course of the game, and punter Corliss Waitman booted the ball away ten times, or once every six minutes of game time. Indeed, Waitman's foot was so busy and so effective — his kicks averaged 47.
For his part, Wilson managed just 184 yards passing on twenty completions , and while his receivers dropped a number of balls that hit them in the hands, far too many of his throws were so embarrassingly errant that he should have changed his first name from Russ to Rust for the night.
On the positive side, the Broncos committed just five penalties for thirty yards after attracting 25 yellow flags in the first two match-ups combined, and Hackett, who hired ex-Baltimore Ravens assistant Jerry Rosburg to serve as a game-management consultant, didn't commit the kind of clock errors that had marred weeks one and two.
But even counting that gift of two points, the Broncos registered only eleven in all — fewer than the sixteen apiece during the previous two games. The explosion of points the combination of Hackett and Wilson promised has yet to ignite — hence the frustration that's been exhibited by Broncos Country since the final whistle blew last night.They managed 11 whole points, and 2 came from Garoppolo.
