Nathaniel Hackett reflects on preseason loss to Bills: ‘We’ve got to tackle better’ – FANTASY FOOTBALL FAN SITE
Kaden Hensley

Sucks for some of the bubble guys who couldn’t show anything today because the whole offensive and defensive front was getting blown off the ball. Hopefully the intensity picks up in coming weeks. May need some better depth in the defensive middle and at corner.

    You think it was bad today? Wait til we play the chargers

    Milo DeMars

    @Donald Trumpp the bills are better then the chargers

    Donald Trumpp

    @Milo DeMars yeah bro totally

    Funny Instagram lives

    @Donald Trumpp the bills are the best team in the league this year

Antelope Sports

We better get the rush game on both sides figured out

Gotta flush this one and move on to Minnesota. It wasn’t our starters at all. No reflection on our main squad at all. But depth could be a concern.

People worried because our 3rd string can’t beat one of the best teams in the NFL lol. Go find another team y’all not too bright.

    Tommy

    It really level sets our expectations, huh?

    oakstgorillas

    maybe Buffalo or Tennessee?

Jamie Wiesner

I trust Coach Hackett. I think he knows what he’s doing.

    Kendell Ellington

    Why?

    Tim B

    Got to trust them to all to learn, adapt and improve. I do. We’ve played 2 preseason games with a heck of a lot of massive changes since last season. It will sort itself out. I think we’ll be ok. Keep expectations realistic FFS

    Divine Comedy

    @Kendell Ellington lol exactly

    A J

    If he drafted Chubb … then oops

Jose Gonzalez

I saw this coming, Buffalo Bills starters are way too strong for Broncos’ 2nd stringers

    B Lijerent

    We didn’t even use our 2nd stringers😆

    TooTrillJay

    Facts josh only played a drive tho without our ones we still would have won

    David Burwell

    None of our starting secondary played yesterday, except maybe Elam

    X P

    Bills starters only played the first 6 plays

SAW

This is why we have preseason to work on getting ready for regular season….GO Broncos 👏👏👏

This has been the problem going back 5 years. The broncos line is weak. They get physically dominated on both sides of the ball.

DryAssBiscuit

We blew every team out last preseason and still ended up with a losing record and the Rams lost all of theirs and they won the SB. I am not panicking however CB depth looks horrendous

    Austin H

    @A J almost all teams would love to have a QB like josh Allen he’s a special talent, but then again I’ve seen my team win a super bowl. Not every team makes the right decisions all the time.

    B Lijerent

    They used all their starters denver used no starters

    Sam Cetron

    @A J yeah just like you guys blew it when you didn’t draft Tom Brady n then had to be his lap dog for two decades everyone’s a draft expert 4 years later

    aaron ohara

    The one thing I’d take away from this is the broncos didn’t even seem like they showed up. To me that’s a coaching thing. The bills came and just rolled them. Only played there starters for two series(Josh Allen 1) and then it was just backups vs backups. The broncos players getting hurt and blown up in the trenches that’s all intensity. If I where they’re coaching staff I’d play at least some starters the last game you can’t go into the regular season with this lack of focus, professionalism and effort.

    Erik Edmund

    Lol stop

Mile High

Don’t hit the panic button just yet! Rookie coaching staff got exposed and lack of depth on the roster showed for sure today! Thank goodness for preseason that’s where we need to make adjustments

Brian Veatch

This game boiled down to depth of talent. The Bills simply have a much deeper team. That is often the difference between a rising team and a team at the top. Losing 2 first round and 2 second round picks will be a challenge for GM Paton. Still, thrilled to have Wilson.

    B Lijerent

    Bills also used all their starters.. Denver used none

Micah 321

Broncos fan here, I’m glad Denver got to see the competition they’re gonna have to go through to get to February, losing to teams like Buffalo in the preseason is a gift in disguise!

Most teams don’t get to learn this kind of information about themselves and about a team like Buffalo without suffering a regular season loss.

Denver got invaluable information for free.

And this is where most Broncos fans are not understanding how this is a huge gain for us.

    Robert Wartenbe

    @lewboski the dude yup no debt with a Walmart owner lol

    lewboski the dude

    @Robert Wartenbe it sucks being a fan of the broncos since Lyle Alzado and Randy Gradishier era

    Markel Washington Jr

    Exactly like not gone invest anything into preseason however one thing they can take away is that we need better depth

    lewboski the dude

    @Markel Washington Jr I agree better dept is needed nobody that played for the Broncos stood out and better coaching

    Jack Marcotte

    You’re totally right

Dammien Woolsey

I know it’s nothing to worry about but the only d-lineman I saw get push was Matt Henningsen and the only other player I saw read gaps and tackle properly was wade barrington the o-line was just simply out matched as they got bullied because there not aggressive most of our players aren’t aggressive and you need some of that grit to compete, but overall this shows the coaches and players things they need to work on and players that simply don’t have it for us.

Tommy

The defense looked AWFUL, they were cooked at the half. Those dudes straight up looked like they gave up! If any of the one’s go down we are in trouble. How can Buffalo have three units that looked so dominant and our three units looked so lost? The Fan is going to be unlistenable this week!

    Dex M

    You are right our depth ends with the ones, and we have yet to see if they are any good together. My confidence is shaken by getting beat this bad even though this is preseason.

    X P

    Don’t beat yourselves up too bad, Beane and McDermott have been building a monster here in Buffalo and they’ve been doing it for 6 years now, there’s gonna be a lot of teams that are feeling embarrassed after they play us this year

MeechiDogg

Coach is right great way to evaluate and keep the best of our best!!!

Adam Wright

Do yall not realize 1/2 if not more of the broncos players on the field today won’t even be on a team come regular season? Pre season is to get starters and coaches back in to the rhythm of the game, and to decide which rookies to add to the depth chart.

Michael Peck

My take. Hackett has that optimism, catalytic attitude, intelligent and encouraging mainframe. It is a wonderful thing but I am worried we need more of a Belicheck strict formal vibe this year. It feels too loose and I think our sharpness as opposed to jovial nature is needed.

    Michael Peck

    Nate if you hear this, be you. Never change. Your strength is that optimism and that can also win a championship.

jonathan zamora

Doesn’t bother me bills put there starters against our backups if they want to show there fans the players they expect when attending the game a little show that’s great it’s a good opportunity for broncos backups to learn there mistakes & prove their skills when the real deal emerges cuz anything could happen a starter gets hurt or need to catch a break. A lot need to change if guys want to be here! Go Broncos Country Let’s Ride 🐎

    Sal

    team looked dead dont care what unit played what unit

Lorin Wiese

Hackett hired a defensive analyst as a coordinator that is what we witnessed. And hope he figures out that hugging players in practice is what make them play like they did today.

David Burwell

Yes the Bills we’re playing against a bunch of 2nd stringers to start, but man, even the bills 2nd and 3rd string looked dominant against Denver. Teams are gonna be feasting on the waiver wire when Buffalo has to make cuts
