Denver Broncos: Player frustration isn’t a bad thing
There was some frustration by the Denver Broncos during and after their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Tempers can flare when things go wrong in every sport there is. That’s exactly what happened during the matchup between the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs.
Shelby Harris was seen pushing head coach Vic Fangio during the game. It is not known what exactly was said at that time, but it is understandable when the team is losing. It’s fine.
Harris took to Twitter to address the sideline argument.
Obviously in the game of football there is a lot of emotion involved. Vic and I spoke and we are on great terms. Families argue but we work it out after. All we both want is to win!

Everybody there is an adult. They deal with problems that come up and then move on. That is ultimately an area of their game that is stressed quite a lot.
Onto the next play. Onto the next game.
It’s never a good situation when you get blown out by a division opponent. It puts a bitter taste in your mouth. Unfortunately, that’s the nature of the game. It happens. It can happen any given game day.
The Broncos are not the only team that this happens to.
There were some definite offensive miscues against the Chiefs. It’s not all on one player, while some people will still put most of the blame on quarterback Drew Lock.
Noah Fant, on the defense being frustrated with the offense: “There were definitely words said in the locker room after the game … they have every right to be frustrated, upset.” Fant declined to get into the details of those words, saying that it will stay in the locker room.

It is fair for the defense to be frustrated because they expect some big things from the offense. The reality is that it’s still a young offense trying to find its identity. They’re trying to figure out who they are. What they are is a team missing their top wide receiver in Courtland Sutton. What they are is young.
The defense still allowed a touchdown from Patrick Mahomes to Tyreek Hill, as well as a rushing touchdown. The special teams allowed a kickoff return for a touchdown.
To be completely honest, not many people reasonably would have expected the Broncos to win this game. Sure, nobody would have expected this sort of beatdown, but coming out with a win seemed very unreasonable.
I strongly believe that the sideline argument by Shelby Harris and Vic Fangio was an all-around frustration thing. This team has not won a whole lot of games since their Super Bowl 50 victory.

While there aren’t a whole lot of players left on the team from that year, that remains a fact and it is very frustrating for everybody involved.
