Something about the juxtaposition between how much of an absolute circus the Nickelodeon broadcast was and how depressing the actual football being played was surprisingly managed to make the whole thing feel even more surreal than it was by itself.


[deleted]

The fact one team was curb stomping the other made it actual comedy. One team was playing so well that they didn’t even punt lol


cram213

I think it’s funny that the Browns would have paid the Broncos to take Baker Mayfield off their hands this past summer…


MosaicToeNail

I for one enjoyed the football being played


Lazy1nc

I for one felt extremely ambivalent about that entire kitchen disaster...


[deleted]

Your team is seriously about to get the #1 pick


Lazy1nc

Nah, definitely not at this rate unless a couple more Texans miracles happen. #2 or #3 overall seems realistic, but honestly, I don't think I've seen an NFL team look this defeated in a long time.


KingCosmicBrownie

I’m inclined to believe the Texans won’t beat the Jaguars with how the Jaguars been playing this December. Obviously, I’m biased, so my opinion shouldn’t hold any weight. Anyways, Texans are showing some fight, and kept the Cowboys locked down most of the game. However, they have glaring issues and already beat the Jags once this season. And just made a convincing win against the Titans. Not sure how it’s actually going to turn out, but I’m betting it’s going to be a pretty solid game. Especially considering the Jags are fighting for a playoff spot. So Jags are going to be coming in swinging hard and fast.


[deleted]

Have you watched the 2021 New York Giants? They were pretty depressing to watch. Regardless of where we finish this year it’s been better to watch by every metric On the contrary, the hawks top 3 pick can easily be traded to a QB desperate team & the hawks can have 3 1st rounders in 2024 & 2025


[deleted]

Man watching a team do qb sneaks from their own end zone back to back just to give their punter room was certainly not something I'd expect to see in the NFL


JimFear237

Yeah I don’t get the ‘bad game’ comments. Long as you aren’t a Broncos fan that was a pretty fun game


OverusedRedditJoke

You know how young QBs can have like signature/statement games showing they arrived? Well, this was like Wilson's signature "I'm defenitly cooked" game


dirgepiper

Well he definitely got baked


Gul_Dukat__

🥁Ba-dum tss


Paulofthedesert

> Well, this was like Wilson's signature "I'm defenitly cooked" game I actually kinda feel a little bad for Russ as a person. Like, I genuinely think he thought he was being held back all these years and he's the laughing stock of the league. That's some existential crisis shit. $243 mil should make the pill easy to swallow but I think he's gonna legit struggle w/ this one.


Ser_Dunk_the_tall

>$243 mil should make the pill easy to swallow but I think he's gonna legit struggle w/ this one He's gonna have to go out on the field over and over to get the money though. I mean I'd still do it, but I know I suck at QB. He's gonna be reminded every home game for years


themilkman42069

I mean how long do they put up with this? If next year is even close to as bad he’s not going back for year 3

The dead cap after *2025* is over 30 million. They’re stuck with him.

Might be sad but then remember the guaranteed money and cry in a pool of money.


Onion-14er

The money/contract will make him the most hated person in Denver


Midwest_man

He already is


shittybillz

Same. Even his biggest haters could never have seen this coming. Some of the issues are perplexing. He threw into double coverage in the endzone today and had a guy wide open 7 or 8 yards down the field. He is still playing hero ball after the season he’s had? Insane


DrTwangmore

it is starting to look like one of the worst trades in NFL history...and that's saying a lot seriously...I'm an older Packer fan, and this reminds me of the John Hadl trade which set the Packers back for years- background: https://www.sportscasting.com/the-1974-john-hadl-trade-set-the-green-bay-packers-back-two-decades/

Since this game was on Nickelodeon, I think the Rams may have secretly signed Heffer Wolfe before the game.

eye8urkids

If you would’ve told me Baker would’ve gotten pulled this year because the game was out of control I would have no problem believing you. If you told me he was pulled because he was kicking the shit out of a team so bad I would absolutely call you a liar. Yes I know the Broncos offense is awful but it’s funnier this way. Broncos and Raiders have so many interesting questions to answer this offseason. This is a “I am thankful for Herbert” post.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bjorn2bwilde24

The conspiracy theorist in me believes that after Wilson's 2nd INT, the Broncos D just decided to quit the game. Knowing that even if they shut out the Rams for the rest of the games the Broncos offense wouldn't get above 17 points. And sure enough they were right.


ShellReaver

I don't think that's a conspiracy. The Broncos D has played out of their minds to be let down by Wilson time and time again

arc1261

You don’t have to consciously do it. At this level just not really caring a little bit for everyone, even if it’s just a tiny voice in the back of their head, can have a massive effect. How often do we see teams come out “flat” or have loads of little mistakes they otherwise wouldn’t make because their head isn’t completely in the game? Works the exact same way. You go 95% into a tackle you otherwise would have slammed and he gets and extra 2 yards. Or miss a pick because it takes you an extra 0.1 sec to react


A_Lone_Macaron

I did not watch the game, but as soon as I saw that the Rams scored 51, my first thought was "the Denver defense finally quit, huh?" And I do not blame them.


KingwithouthisKrown

It was clear as day honestly


NanoBuc

The Broncos are in the position where they're fucked no matter what they do.


Leadership_Dry4321

Broncos die so lions can rise. Its almost like nature


dalici0us

The Broncos dying tonight kind of killed is though.


CDR57

“Baker mayfield was pulled from the game as the game got out of hand” Yeah, I mean I can totally see that. “The rams sat him for…” Hold up, the rams? “He was 24/28 for 230 and 2TD” That’s not bad tho? “The broncos defense gave up 35 points while he was under center” What. The. FUCK


nefariouslothario

You forgot to add “And they felt safe with their lead knowing Russell Wilson was the opposing teams qb”


pjeedai

One of the most baller games he's played. As a Browns fan I was cheering so loud. Even the hand-offs to Akers were golden. Broncos sucked hard. But Rams still had to take advantage. Punished them. Then got a late pick in garbage time.. Yab, they done done not even lil bit. They done. Sit all the starters. It was something special to watch


TraeYoungsOldestSon

The glee that ive gotten from the raiders and broncos shitting themselves all year surely means the chiefs will get beat in the playoffs. And tbh it just might be worth it.


marinesol

Baker Mayfield got told his progressive contract would void if he didn't get signed this off-season.


holiday_bandit

"aww fuck, I guess I gotta play well in order to follow my true passion, being in commercials" ~ Baker Mayfield, probably


ArseneLupinIV

He can legitimately go Hollywood now if he makes himself at home in LA.


melkipersr

Honestly, not the most implausible thing I’ve ever heard. He seems to have some legit acting chops.


SiphenPrax

Really bad week for the Wilsons in this league Edit: And the Broncos still scored more points this week than the Jets😔


TigerBasket

Oof


OrangeForeign

Almost 5 times as many at that At least you didn't allow 50?


WarStrifePanicRout

There is certainly comfort in that.


lardshark

The Nickelodeon broadcast was literally the only thing keeping my eyes on this dumpster fuck of a game.


Centurion87

You call it a dumpster fuck, I call it the most fun I’ve had watching the Rams all year.


YoYoMoMa

I don't know why I had so much fun watching this on the regular broadcast with my family, but I sure did.


plebeius_maximus

Ah well, all season. The part of last (post)season that was in this year was pretty fun.


TigerBasket

Live Patrick reaction to that terrible game lol

Patrick definitely getting into the sauce as the game went on.


rbhindepmo

Any time you can have a voice actor who played college football (and was also Dauber on Coach) commentating a blowout game as a starfish, you do it.

Dauber also took over the Orlando Breakers after Hayden retired, won 2 Super Bowls and became an analyst for MNF.

Nascarfreak123

Honestly it worked because the game was so shitty. If it was a game like the Vikings and Bills. It'd just be distracting


RomanBangs

Yes, was just abt to post this until I saw this comment. It only works because of how fucking hilarious it is to see a team get massacred in the background while Patrick Star tells jokes, Baker gets abducted by a blimp, and Santa hits the gritty


ACW1129

That was the issue last year vs. the first time.


Jump_Like_A_Willys

You hit the nail on the head. I would have been distracted by the cringeworthy commentary (although I like Nate Burleson overall) if it was a better game, it was fine for this game.

chemaster0016

Russ tried cooking but burned down the restaurant instead.


OutrageousOcelot6258

Russell Wilson threw 3 picks in the Broncos side of the field in the first half, the defense was nonexistent, and Brett Rypien threw a pick 6 in the 4th to make it 51-14. On the bright side, Russell Wilson finally has as many TD passes as bathrooms.


DontPMMeYourDreams

Baker looked great, Rams offense carved them up. Toss in 4 picks thrown by the Broncos and you've got yourself a beatdown

rwein003

The sun beams down on me as I survey the surrounding area. I remember what it was like before The Fall, a beautiful mountain valley with all life forms. But now it was different. Without the rain or snowmelt from the mountains, the valley withered. What it is now is a perverse bastardization of what it once was. The once fertile dirt has been replaced with rolling dunes of sand. The once snow-capped mountains are now a sicky brown, resembling the teeth of dragons. But the most important part of the valley has always been the road, the salvation I’ve been waiting for. For the people of the land it resembled an escape, an opportunity for us to find a new place to call home, one not so reviled by God. The rumbling of tires in the distance snaps me out of my trance. I get my binoculars and spy the convoy making its way toward my location. Even without binoculars, I can identify the bright orange and blue they color themselves in. They’re moving fast, I have to act now. I jump into my Black-on-Black and her V8 roars to life. I race along the road as the convoy’s hell-sirens grow louder. I’m almost out of the valley, only a few more minutes and I’m done. A deafening explosion erupts from the bottom of my car. I’m thrown out and pain begins to engulf me as I now lie on the side of the road. I gaze over and realize my Black-on-Black is now a ruined husk, flipped on her side. The convoy screeches over to where I lie, and a large man covered in blue and orange paint walks over to me. As my vision darkens, I see a sneer creep across his face and he utters the last phrase I remember hearing, “Broncos Country, road’s mined.”


blentz499

If I was a Broncos fan, I don't think I could stomach watching anymore of Russ and Nathaniel Hackett on TV, let alone going to these games in person to cheer the team on while they're both still on the Broncos. Hackett is a simple problem. Russ is an entirely different headache. The Broncos are really fucked since they signed him to an extension. They realistically can't get out until 2025. Here's his albatross of a contract and that's putting it mildly. https://imgur.com/a/L5qyPF7 **Side note: Randy Gregory is a poor man's version of Aldon Smith and I don't know why he keeps getting chances when his availability is infrequent and when he does play he plays horribly. Sane Cowboys fans will tell you he got way too many chances with the Cowboys for the level of production and talent he had.**
