The Denver Broncos continue their losing streak as they get embarrassed at home against the divisional rival Las Vegas Raiders, 34-24.

The offense didn’t look prepared at all during the whole game. Teddy Bridgewater played his worst game this season and it didn’t help with bad offensive line play and more.

The defense underperformed once again and allowed 34 points to a team that lost their head coach/play-caller on Monday. The unit as a whole did not look great at all and once again did not look prepared.

After watching the Broncos lose their third consecutive game of the season, dropping them to .500, it is evident that Vic Fangio is not the answer at head coach for the Denver Broncos.

Vic Fangio needs to be let go after embarrassing loss at home.

The Denver Broncos had a perfect chance to be first in the division at the end of today after the Chargers loss to the Ravens. All they had to do was take care of business at home.

The team as a whole did not look well-coached and prepared at all today and that falls under one guy.

Vic Fangio.

George Paton has to take action and fire Fangio after what he did for him in the offseason. Paton drafted players that fit Fangio’s scheme and got players that he wanted on this football team. Since then, he has not put out any evidence of him being a great coach with the talent that is on this roster.

Fangio was simply outcoached to a sideline that didn’t have a head coach. Rich Bisaccia, who is the interim head coach now for the Raiders, had his team more prepared to win a very important game.

It looked like Bisaccia had his team play like the season was on the line.

Fangio looked like he had his team play like the season was not on the line and over.

Fangio had TWO horrendous challenge calls during the game as well that cost the Broncos two timeouts in the second half. It was clear that on both plays that the ruling was correct, but Fangio thought otherwise.

Being known as a defensive guy doesn’t help the case either. Fangio had his defense allow 34 points in a crucial divisional game. Plus, the Raiders did not have their head coach who was also the play caller on offense, and they still gave up that many points.

Even former Broncos players are coming out and are questioning what is happening with the defense.

There is no more excuses left for Fangio. This team came out flat once again and was not prepared on both sides of the field.

The Fangio era has to be over.

The Denver Broncos take on the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football this week coming up and if Fangio is not let go by then, his seat will be extremely hot if they fall below .500.
