The overall execution was just bad
Wilson just didn’t look completely comfortable in this game, perhaps a bit jittery due to his return to Seattle, and unfriendly welcome by his former fans.
But some of his throws were way off, including one just before halftime that was an interception that the Seahawks dropped in the end zone which was as bad of a throw that you’ll see him make.
But watching the game, Russ had the play clock running down to zero on many offensive snaps. He was called for delay of game twice and at least one other time, it should have been a penalty.
The Broncos also fumbled the ball twice at the goal line, once by Melvin Gordon and once by Javonte Williams. Speaking of which, lining up in shotgun when you are on the 1-yard line is something that just needs to come out of the playbook. It’s bad football, even if it has become a trend around the league.
In general, the execution offensively was just not up to par. Wilson is a legendary quarterback and he needs to be better as does the entire unit. He still played a good game, but there were way too many mistakes and though it seemed like a good move at the time, not playing any of the starters in the preseason can certainly be called into question.
The Broncos are going to have to be much, much better than this if they want to find a lot of success this season.
