BD Film Broncos copy

The Denver Broncos lost to the Buffalo Bills, 14-40. The Broncos move to 8-7 on the season while the Bills improve to 6-9.

The Denver coaching staff is obviously becoming more confident with their offensive line. Throughout the course of the game, the tight ends and backs were rarely used to help in protecting the quarterback.

Some of that change is pass protection philosophy is no doubt due to Tebow’s ability to avoid defenders…but it appears to also be a vote of confidence in the offensive line.

Chris Kuper ends his day with a 91% and +2 run blocking grade and a 96% and +2 pass assignment grade. He has a solid game a the way around for the second week in a row.

The Denver Broncos lose to the New England Patriots, 23-41. The Broncos are still atop the AFC West by 1 game with an 8-6 record.

If Denver fans didn’t know already, they now know that the Broncos don’t play well when they have to overcome a lot of points. Denver’s offense just isn’t ready for that, yet. Keep the opponents close until the 4th quarter…and the Broncos are dangerous.

As far as AFC West standards, PFS grades all of the AFC West lineman, the Bronco’s offensive line did an average job. No offensive lineman really had a stellar day…but no one really laid an egg, either.

Orlando Franklin ends his day with a 80% run assignment grade, +2 dominance score, and a 85% pass assignment grade.

Those number are a lot more consistent through the course of the game than many past performances.
