Denver Broncos’ offense is worst in league in 22 years
Not only do the Denver Broncos have the worst offense in the NFL, but the team has the worst offense the league has seen in 22 years. What you are watching on the field each week is not only the worst offense in the NFL by a wide margin, but it’s the worst the NFL has been in over 20 years.
Let me say that again, the Broncos’ offense is the worst the NFL has seen in over 20 years. Twenty-two years to be exact. Field Yates put out a tweet earlier expressing how bad the Broncos’ offense has been, and it shouldn’t come as a shock to us fans who watch the team.
Denver is averaging 14.2 points per game. They are barely averaging two touchdowns per game. Running back Jamaal Williams of the Detroit Lions has 13 rushing touchdowns on the year, which is nearly as many total touchdowns as Denver has all season.
Now, the true cause of this offensive catastrophe can be debated until we’re blue in the face. Russell Wilson was one of the most accurate and prolific passers in the NFL during his 10 seasons in Seattle.
Now, his first season out of Seattle, and many would say that he simply sucks. Common sense tells me that a quarterback who was excellent at what he did for an entire decade before that simply does not lose that edge.
I don’t think Wilson is the main issue, in fact, I think what he hasn’t done well this season are things he usually has not done well in his career, and Ben Allbright indicates that he is still injured as well, which is something.
Russell Wilson playing hurt along with all of the other issues that the Broncos face do line up with the offense being as bad as it is. To me, if you are trying to pinpoint this to one singular person or thing, you are wrong.
Wilson needs to play better, and Nathaniel Hackett was a disaster of a hire. The offensive line is poorly coached and has been injured, along with several key contributors on offense as well. There is enough blame to go around, and the sad part is that there are still six games left in the season.
