Denver Broncos Potential Yards Gained 2017

Just as with the Buffs, I'm going to go ahead and track the potential yards the Broncos are able to gain.  The Broncos were pretty much all or nothing, either gained more than 90% of their potential yards against the Chargers, or under 25% on all but one drive.

Updated: Denver throttled the Cowboys this week, thanks in large part to the defense stopping the best two cowboys drives on downs and an interception.  On offense the last few drives of the game were a bit of a let down, gaining only 20% of their potential yards just once.

Updated: The Broncos actually moved the ball better than the Bills did, but couldn't finish drives.  That drive with the Miller penalty  was a killer since it flipped from being a 25% yards gained to more than 80%.

Update: Denver really sputtered out on offense this week.  The second half didn't have a drive gain more than 35% of its yards, and only had 3 go over 50%.   Luckily this week the defense did its job and forced Oakland to look even worse.

Update: The offense sputtered again, posting just 4 of 12 drives to gain over 70% of their yards, and  with just another 2 gaining more than 50%.  The defense did its job most of the night, but in short fields they allowed the Giants to drive at least 45% of their yards, leading to 3 field goal attempts.

 Update: Possibly the worst offensive and special teams performance I've ever seen.  The Broncos gained 50% of potential yards just twice.  The Chargers punter kept them pinned back all game, and several failed returns didn't help.

Update: When you think you've hit rock bottom, sometimes you start digging.  The offensive gameplan was to come out and attack the Chiefs on the ground.  It worked for the most part.  But an over-reliance on too many drives for Trevor to throw into tight windows and bad route running killed any chance of a win.   The defense played well for the most part, but lucked out on at least three would be TDs (Stewart Intercepton, Hill overthrown after beating Harris and Marshal/Stewart tipping away a drop in the end zone).

Update: The mistakes from last week hit this week for the defense.   Poor tackling, poor coverage, and an inability to shed blocks.  The offense continued to drag everything down, posting more drives with negative yardage than drives that gain over 50% of potential yards.

Update: Offense bad and defense bad.  Thats about all that can be said here.  Ugh.

Update: The defense showed up for almost all of the game, but got beat on a couple of must have drives and again failed to generate any turnovers.  The offense had one good driving and fantastic field position all day but failed in numerous ways.  Thank goodness Mike Mccoy is gone.  He's a trainwreck that failed to adapt his system to the players we have.

Update: The defense was not particularly sharp, but the offense was brutally bad. Only two TD drives by Trevor redeemed what was probably the worst offensive output of the season.

Update: The Denver offense is a limitless Augur. It just continues to dig deeper and deeper. 2 drives over 50%, one a field goal and one a whatever at the end of the game. The defense did its part for the day, with only 5 drives over 50%.

Update:  A Win!  A dominating win!  The defense held the Jets to just 2 drives of over 40%, everything else was under 10%.  The offense moved the ball efficiently as well, with 5 drives of over 50% yards needed gained.  

Update: Two in a row!  The offense moved the ball well on the first two drives, but Trevor threw a pick and McManus missed another easy field goal.  Brock came in and kept the offense rolling.  The Defense as well tightened up after the first drive

Update: The same woes that plagued this team all year showed up here.  Bad turnovers and defensive miscues doomed any hope of a third win in a row.  One game to go.
