The play call from Hackett is stupid but Russ HAS to catch some heat here. There was literally no point in forcing that ball into the end zone, if it’s not wide open either try to run and pick up the 1st or just throw it out of the back of the end zone and take your FG. He’s a 10+ year veteran and won a super bowl, he has to know better.
@@somethingnooneused Its was 3rd&4 he could have thrown it away. Russ should be catching a lot of heat here as well. A future hall of fame qb needs a better throw and if he cant throw it away and take the points.

I knew this was coming...and boy...as a Broncos fan I am starting to dread watching a game these days because I know something ridiculous is going to happen. As much as I thought it was lame to see fans leaving the stadium at the start of OT, I can relate to their frustration. I never realized how important a head coach was to setting the tone for a team, as Hackett has made the entire team look weak and unsure of themselves. The announcers spent most of the night mocking the game, which was irritating, but accurate. So nice to have a place to come and enjoy the misery, thank you JG9!

I have not watched a second of the NFL in years but as a big Broncos fan most of my life JG9 is keeping me informed that I am not missing a thing with this team.
It takes talent to already be worse than Josh McDaniels in Denver in just 5 games. Despite winning 2 games, i feel like we are 0-5. I can't even judge if Wilson is a washed up QB now or not because Hackett has been so painfully inept.
At least McDaniels was an offensive coach with an inept defense but a pretty good offense, even with Kyle Orton at qb. Hackett is an "offensive genius" with a pro bowl qb and one of the most inept offenses ever.
@@somethingnooneused As a Broncos fan and former coach I can attest that JG9 would've been on solid ground making 4 videos on Hacket so far this year. Cripes, and that's limiting it to once per week.

@@lloydg9383 it's called situational football and apparently Hackett doesn't have any sense of it. 64 yard FG at Seattle or let Wilson cook on 4th and 5? It's really not that hard for anyone versed in football to make it into the coaching level to get a feel for it. Until now.
Nathaniel Hackett and Pete Carrol trusting one of the most mobile QB’s to run: “nope!” Nat Hackett and Pete Carrol making the QB throw in peculiar situation: “oh yes!”
Before the season started this looked like it would be one of the more intriguing primetime matchups on the schedule. Then the first 4 weeks of the season killed off those delusions making the biggest question of the game which head coach would get fired first. Even so the level of ineptness on display from both teams, particularly on offense, surprised me.
So far the Colts have already surpassed the number of wins that came down to defensive stops this year than all of last year combined. Colts only had one game last season that came down to a defensive stand (Week 10 vs Jacksonville W 23-17 on a strip sack). This year you had game won of a Mahomes interception and a Wilson incompletion.
@@KevinT7274 that’s still a question I’m asking myself going back to the 2019 SNF matchup. I don’t know what Jones said to Ryan but the ref heard it and thats what kept us alive.
I thought the Adventures of Nathaniel "Can't" Hackett was cancelled because he's trying to learn from his mistakes. Now I'm wondering how did he ever get to be a position coach if situational football concepts confound him.
I think it would go neck and neck with Titanic for running length. As long as this team is run by Nathaniel Hack Job, the season really is a sinking ship
On this one, some of this goes on Russell Wilson. When he saw the wide receiver wasn't open, he should have just pulled the pass down and run for whatever he could get. However, it was a super bad play call. I wonder if Hackett ever watched Super Bowl XLIX. Also, I would love to get your perspective on Red Right 88, one of the most infamous plays in Cleveland Browns history.
I didn't watch this last night, but I doubt it matched the mastery of the Seahawks/Cardinals 6-6 tie from several years ago. That game fuckin' *ruled* because it was in division, a rivalry game, and it was more good defense than bad offense
When you somehow one-up the one-yard line incident with the Seahawks TWICE in ONE GAME, I don't know how you can keep that as your coach. Man, Hackett might be the worst head coach ever.
I think if the Broncos were 0-4 there would probably be more people calling for his job but unfortunately because of those two ridiculously fluke wins he's gonna keep his job.
I have to agree at least he won games if he hadn't then he probably would had been gone by now. That said, he still should be fired due to making terrible calls like that.
Hackett is the perfect example of a coordinator being just that, a better coordinator than a Head Coach. Over / Under on how long Hackett is employed? Does he somehow last longer than Urban Meyer did?
@@j.a.greene3523 Meyer was more of an off the field issue. Cheating on your wife after games and assaulting your players might get you through college, but it won’t fly in the nfl. I have a feeling the reason he did ok in college is because kids were too scared to stand up to him and he knew it. You can’t do that to professional athletes. There were allegations of him abusing players in college, and if anything his time in the nfl proves these are probably true. Guy was an asshat and didn’t live up to the shit he talked, you know the locker room hated him when even Trevor Lawrence, who has the patience of a saint, even takes a jab during an interview. Thank Christ he’s gone and we have who we should’ve hired, Doug Pederson.
The pass play wasn't a great call, but also you have to remember that the receiver was wide open at first but Russ missed the throw on the slant in regulation. He threw it late and behind, Russ is just as much a problem (7 year 40M salary LOL) as their HC.
Were they trying to win the game or were they trying to throw a td pass? Seems to me that they were trying to throw a td pass over trying to win the game
The 4th and 1 play was actually equally inept and shows a complete lack of preparation or understanding of the game. They hurry to the line on 4th and 1 and from the defensive formation you can see there is a large gap in front ofnthe center between the defensive tackles. For any elite qb and decently coached offense this is an automatic qb sneak read. There is 0 % chance the defense could have stopped that. But instead there is no instant read and the coach calls a timeout and allows the defense to organize. Then he comes out with a pass play that does literally nothing to utilize any of the strengths of your team, the qb, or to capitalize on in game developments. Every coach makes calls fans disagree with, but this guy seems to have absolutely no clue what he's doing.
Nah. He's got a long way to go to match Richie Kotite. He's got two wins already, which is half of what Richie won in 2 SEASONS for the Jets. However, the game on Thurs was probably the most boring game I've ever seen, and I've been a Jets fan since Heidi, so I've seen some bad games. And, OMG, we had to have OT? This is an example of why they invented words like "Yikes!"
I didn't even watch the game; I just saw the teams involved and the final score and thought "there's going to be another Dumb Decisions episode dropping today".
Meyer and Hackett are supreme examples of privilege, Neither had no business ever being hired as HC in the NFL and will be hired again before far more deserving coaches.
Nathaniel Hackett might be the worst coach ever. At least in the case of Urban Meyer, he was a college coach. Hackett's been in the NFL Circles for a while, and he's incredibly incompetent.
I was watching this game thinking that play was destined to be on Dumb Decisions. That’s the second time in five days I’ve had that feeling even though Matt Eberflus’ decision to punt in the fourth quarter against the Giants hasn’t been on Dumb Decisions, not yet anyway
I’m going to wedge an In Defense Of in this Dumb Decisions (TM) video and bring up Russell Wilson’s other noteworthy interception. In Super Bowl 49 the decision to call a pass play was the right decision, based on the time and timeouts left. It’s just that the execution on the part of the Seahawks coaches and players wasn’t good. In the meantime the execution of Patriots Cornerbacks Brandon Browner and Malcolm Butler was great. This…well, I got nothing. I don’t think anybody knew the name Tyree Cleveland before that play, but everyone knew the name Stephon Gilmore.
I don't mind the pass on SB 49 either (we're in the minority), but the fact that they came out with 3 WR's made Malcom Butler come into the game (there's film of the Patriots' coach sending in MB once he saw 3 WR's). There was no attempt to run the ball, therefore, the corners could play tight. Of course Browner knew the play based on the formation, but *any* variation of the play (even a play-action), would've froze the defense, including Malcom Butler. Russell would've seen that Butler jumped the route, rolled out, and either thrown it away to play another down, or a receiver would've broke open late and hit him in the endzone. But the fact there was no attempt to run the ball bothers me. These coaches are constantly trying to outsmart themselves when playing off convention is the best. When a coach, team, or players are expecting you to do one thing (like run the football with Marshawn), play that to your advantage. When the Colts are expecting you to run the football, run a play-action bootleg and get your TE open or have Russ scramble for the first down (worst case, you get tackled for a short loss and run the clock down and kick a FG). But when you make no attempt to even fake a running play in an obvious running situation, that is just stupid football.
We’re really gonna have to rename this series the Nathaniel Hackett Special, aren’t we? Listen, Broncos fans, I love you, but you NEED to keep this guy! For the content. I hope you will understand.
I'm an Iowa fan, and my brother texted me today to tell me that I should be glad that at least Iowa has a better offense than the Broncos. You have to be really bad at coaching to be compared to the worst (well second worst this week, for now) offense in college football.
Oh, you are so right. Hackett has to go. How could he possibly sit there in the pocket, survey the field and make one of the worst decisions to throw that ball I have ever seen. Oh, wait ... That wasn't Hackett making that throw? It was one of the top 10 QBs in the league? Hmmm ... Well, I do recall people screaming, 'Put the ball in Russell's hands. You got him to win games" ...
That situation didn't call for Hackett to dial up a passing play. He should've had one of his HBs run the ball there given the time remaining and that his defense was balling out. The Colts have scored the fewest points per game and have only the 21st-most total offense per game in the NFL.
@@marcus813 I agree they should have ran (just like they should have ran in the Super Bowl) ... but Hackett did not throw that TERRIBLE pass. AND, if Wilson is one of the top QBs in the NFL, he should have known better than to attempt that pass.
Immediately had this pegged for Dumb Decisions. Confirmed after the Broncos lost. Why is passing an option when you have the lead, the ball, a couple minutes and change to go, field position deep in opposing territory, and your opponent has no timeouts and no proven ability to find the end zone that night? I hate the Broncos and this pisses me off.
As a Seahawks fan it’s interesting to see everyone hating on the broncos coaches. Over the past 4-5 years wilson (while making some magical plays) ultimately struggled to contend in the playoffs. So as we started to see bad offense the hawks moved on from Darrell Bevell and hired Brian Schottenheimer. We were elated and thought a new mind as OC would change the way the offense looked. It didn’t. We continued to have the same issues. After 2 years we move on from Brian and hire current OC Shane Waldron. He had one season with Wilson and the offense continued to struggle and look exactly the same. I feel this lies more on the shoulders of Wilson’s ego and limitations. Look at Geno’s success this season. He is doing the things Russell refused to do. Geno takes the check down he also gets to the line early to survey the D and make checks. Geno utilizes the tight ends, he uses the middle of the field and runs QB sneaks. Is what Geno done sustainable, I don’t know. But he is running the offense the way the OC want him to. I will say this is a result of the HC not laying down the law and the players not respecting him. Which was crippled after the bad decision in the Seahawks game. His comments in post game pressers is also not helping. Ultimately what I’m trying to say is you can fire the head coach, the OC. This is the way Wilson plays and until he decides to play within the offense the Broncos will continue to struggle.
Haha your giving geno too much credit.agin Russell Wilson is not the problem. Yes look geno looked good for two games but one was against the worst defense in the league.
In my mind there's a HUGE chance that Russ either changed this play at the line, or talked Hackett into it. Not letting Hackett off the hook by any means, as a head coach it's his job to make sure that doesn't happen, but .... as a long time Seahawks fan, Russ is gonna do what he's gonna do, structure or playcall be damned. I still think he can be a good QB in this league but he really needs to pair with an experienced head coach who knows how to tell him no and keep him in line. Hackett isn't that guy.
On the last play, the broncos took 2 timeouts. Hackett gave Russ the option of a pass play or a run play and let Russ choose what he wanted to do, and Russ chose to pass.
On 4th and short, a team has four options: run, field goal, try and call offsides, or the Russell Wilson special of heroball. Nate Hackett chose the worst choice. What legends of ineptitude.
Run the ball get 1st down win 4th and short opportunity for a win thrown for a loss still get FG worse case is a fumble or fumble return TD (with time on the clock to score) A pass into the endzone Sack still try FG but harder Sack+ penalty that make a FG very hard strip sack turnover tipped pass int int (pick 6) incompletion (that leave more time and doesn't set up the 4th and short) catch that becomes a fumble turnover TD that leaves time on the clock Completion in field of play (but Russell hates the middle of the field) Russell scramble to win Russell scramble to set up 4th and short The game is in control with the run most likely options are pretty good the pass is a coin flip of scenarios most of which are the same or worse than the run
Thanks for the excellent summary! We've all seen bad games. Low scoring, no scoring and/or field goal contests. But I've never seen a worse game ever. Besides the inept play - there was no energy. Even the crowd was flat. Like something was over the stadium draining it. Hackett is in way over his head. It may have been different with a young QB but he's got an experienced winning QB in Wilson and I think that makes Hackett's problem worse in that he's not built to be a head coach in the NFL.
I don't usually call for 1st-year head coaches to be fired, but I have to make an exception for Hackett. A field goal there wouldn't have guaranteed anything other than forcing the Colts to score a TD, but it would've made things a lot harder for the Colts' offense given that the Broncos' defense was on point.
This is just the worst coaching I think I've ever seen. If the Broncos hadn't spent so much on Russ to make a play I would think the Waltons had sent Hackett out to intentionally lose.
14:12 nah honestly they should be 1-4 instead of possibly 4-1barely beat the 0-3-1 texans in a game where broncos fans were booing the offense the whole game . And that 49ers broncos game was also atrocious they're lucky that Jimmy G pulled a dan orlovsky and made the score 11 -10 instead of 10-9
The Broncos have: Coach who can't manage game situations RB who can't hang on to the football QB who can't throw it in the ocean from a ship deck Aside from all of that they are in great shape
Hackett has a problem with game management and situational things like taking the FG to make it 6-12 instead of going for a TD and not getting it. But if you watch the all-22, a lot of the plays that were called by Hackett got players open, Russ just missed them or didn’t see them. Like the play at 5:55, if Russ throws that with more lift on the ball and toward the back of the endzone, it’s probably a TD. Instead he tried to rifle it in while gillmore is trailing, which is the wrong type of throw to make there. And the play call at the end of the game got KJ Hamler wide open, Russ just refused to look that way and threw it to Sutton who was covered.
Not as dumb as the one in the super bowl; not only Seattle ended their dynasty before it began but it allowed the NFL’s golden boy to begin winning rings on a near annual basis again
... and then we havent even mentioned going for it on fourth in overtime and trying an endzone pass on 4th & 1 where an incompletion automatically loses you the game...
theres a theory that Russel Wilson wanted to throw the ball so he can be the hero in that situation to close out the game, the same way he went for 4th down in OT and Nathaniel Hackett is calling the right plays but Wilson shot calls, audibles and reads are ABSOLUTE GARBAGE or BLOCKED by an ego that he cant being a shot caller
Very few offenses in college and pro these days have a true identity. They’ve over thought themselves so much that they aren’t good at anyone aspect of moving the ball and can’t fall back on 6 or 7 plays they run really well. They think an incomplete pass on first down in the redZone followed by a running into a pile of humanity on 2-10 like it doesn’t mean anything.
Life of a coach. Get flamed for not putting the ball in the hands of Wilson in week 1, then put the ball in the hands of Wilson to convert a 3rd and 4, still gets flamed.
But that's the thing about football, it's very much based on the situation. The situation in Week 1 was very different than this game. I'll try to explain a little bit: When you're behind, you want to give yourself the best chance to extend the game if attempting to win the game is too difficult. You want to extend it until you have a better opportunity to win it. When you're ahead, you want to milk the clock and chew up yards (first downs) as much as possible. Scoring is a bonus, especially if the game is close (like it was). In Week 1, going for 4th and 5 has a better chance of extending the game and giving yourself a better chance of winning later once you make it (because they were behind). Kicking a 64-yard FG will most likely make you lose the game then and there if he misses (which has a 98% probability). In this game, passing the ball in the endzone does not milk the clock, nor does it chew up yards, therefore, it's pointless. If they run the ball and only gain a yard, the offense has done its job by running the clock down and getting as much yards as possible, then handing the game to their defense (because that's why you *have* a defense). The Broncos *chose* to give Indy more time AND didn't cushion the lead (dropping back to pass has a much higher chance of turnover than any routine running play). Obviously, everything changes in OT, and while I don't have a problem of the Broncos going for it on 4th and short, there was no attempt to run the ball, which means the corners can play press and disrupt the routes of the receivers, especially the fact that it's already congested that close to the endzone, it's hard to see anyone (even a wide-open receiver). Football, like most sports, has its subtly when it comes to strategy. Just like how you don't throw to home on a bunt with 2 outs with no force-out... you don't throw the ball under 2 minutes left when you have the lead and the other team can't stop the clock. You just don't.
"the Broncos should be 4-1 right now" lol What? I can agree with you on most of this video, But if you think the donkeys are a top tier team that you expected to have a 13-4 or 12-5 record, I'm gonna need some of that Colorado weed for that.
Well, if you think about it: Week 1 - They probably win if they convert that 4th and 5. Week 2 - Win Week 3 - SF was the better team. Week 4 - You lost to the Raiders??? Week 5 - This game that they should've won. 4-1. All things considered, Broncos had a pretty easy schedule at this point. They haven't played a team with a winning record. But wait until they play the Chiefs and Rams. They're going to get massacred. Also, never forget that Josh McDaniels as the coach for the Broncos started 6-0 and missed the playoffs that year. A 4-1 record means shit when you have a bad coach.
I was SO glad they signed Russ. I was like 'Cool another round on the QB carousel'. Then I saw the contract they signed him for and was like "wait what? they think he is still a good quarterback too?" Dis gon be guud!
This game is a perfect example of a close game not being a good game

His dad was a coach in the NFL
The NFL is a who you know league
You should make a montage at the end of the season of all of Nathaniel Hackett's dumb decisions. It would be an hour long.
I think it would go neck and neck with Titanic for running length. As long as this team is run by Nathaniel Hack Job, the season really is a sinking ship
On this one, some of this goes on Russell Wilson. When he saw the wide receiver wasn't open, he should have just pulled the pass down and run for whatever he could get. However, it was a super bad play call. I wonder if Hackett ever watched Super Bowl XLIX.
Also, I would love to get your perspective on Red Right 88, one of the most infamous plays in Cleveland Browns history.
Yeah. If your QB was competent everyone would be praising the decision. Plus it was an RPO
I didn't watch this last night, but I doubt it matched the mastery of the Seahawks/Cardinals 6-6 tie from several years ago. That game fuckin' *ruled* because it was in division, a rivalry game, and it was more good defense than bad offense
And awful kicking which made it more funny
And the fact that kickers couldn't even hit the net in that game made it even more spectacular!
When you somehow one-up the one-yard line incident with the Seahawks TWICE in ONE GAME, I don't know how you can keep that as your coach. Man, Hackett might be the worst head coach ever.
I think if the Broncos were 0-4 there would probably be more people calling for his job but unfortunately because of those two ridiculously fluke wins he's gonna keep his job.
I have to agree at least he won games if he hadn't then he probably would had been gone by now. That said, he still should be fired due to making terrible calls like that.
Literally the second after the game was over, I thought “JG9 is going to talk about this.”
Hackett is the perfect example of a coordinator being just that, a better coordinator than a Head Coach. Over / Under on how long Hackett is employed? Does he somehow last longer than Urban Meyer did?
Crazy part is, Hackett is far more inept as a head coach as Urban Meyer is. At least Meyer won Championships in college.
@@j.a.greene3523 Meyer was more of an off the field issue. Cheating on your wife after games and assaulting your players might get you through college, but it won’t fly in the nfl. I have a feeling the reason he did ok in college is because kids were too scared to stand up to him and he knew it. You can’t do that to professional athletes. There were allegations of him abusing players in college, and if anything his time in the nfl proves these are probably true. Guy was an asshat and didn’t live up to the shit he talked, you know the locker room hated him when even Trevor Lawrence, who has the patience of a saint, even takes a jab during an interview. Thank Christ he’s gone and we have who we should’ve hired, Doug Pederson.
He gets fired ONE SECOND after Elway gets canned
While watching this game, I was like JaguarGator9 has to make a video on this. You didn't disappoint!
The pass play wasn't a great call, but also you have to remember that the receiver was wide open at first but Russ missed the throw on the slant in regulation. He threw it late and behind, Russ is just as much a problem (7 year 40M salary LOL) as their HC.
Your not wrong but the situation says run the ball. Like the video says it almost a garunteed win.
If they were down 3 I think it's not a bad call.
Were they trying to win the game or were they trying to throw a td pass? Seems to me that they were trying to throw a td pass over trying to win the game
Colts have the worst offence in football.
Denver: Hold my beer.
The 4th and 1 play was actually equally inept and shows a complete lack of preparation or understanding of the game. They hurry to the line on 4th and 1 and from the defensive formation you can see there is a large gap in front ofnthe center between the defensive tackles. For any elite qb and decently coached offense this is an automatic qb sneak read. There is 0 % chance the defense could have stopped that. But instead there is no instant read and the coach calls a timeout and allows the defense to organize. Then he comes out with a pass play that does literally nothing to utilize any of the strengths of your team, the qb, or to capitalize on in game developments. Every coach makes calls fans disagree with, but this guy seems to have absolutely no clue what he's doing.
Nah. He's got a long way to go to match Richie Kotite. He's got two wins already, which is half of what Richie won in 2 SEASONS for the Jets. However, the game on Thurs was probably the most boring game I've ever seen, and I've been a Jets fan since Heidi, so I've seen some bad games. And, OMG, we had to have OT? This is an example of why they invented words like "Yikes!"
I didn't even watch the game; I just saw the teams involved and the final score and thought "there's going to be another Dumb Decisions episode dropping today".
Meyer and Hackett are supreme examples of privilege, Neither had no business ever being hired as HC in the NFL and will be hired again before far more deserving coaches.
Except Hackett said Russ was given the choice to decide at the line what play he wanted to run.
Fantasy football scoring:
Colts kicker: 17 pts
Russell Wilson: 9.16 pts
So how do you really feel about Hackett? Great cooking analogy at about the 13 minute mark
Honestly, I fault Russel Wilson more than Hackett. He threw a terrible pass.
Russell is washed up
Nathaniel Hackett might be the worst coach ever. At least in the case of Urban Meyer, he was a college coach. Hackett's been in the NFL Circles for a while, and he's incredibly incompetent.
Urban's issues were more off the field distractions.
@@andrewgrove1691 That too. This is on the field issues, and he's looking like he might be on par with Richie Kotite for worst HC in history.
3 times in 5 weeks..this is incredible. Hackett is having an epic season..
Epically bad!
Cripes, there's an argument that you could've made 6 of these dumb decisions vids on Hacket in those 5 games.
I was watching this game thinking that play was destined to be on Dumb Decisions. That’s the second time in five days I’ve had that feeling even though Matt Eberflus’ decision to punt in the fourth quarter against the Giants hasn’t been on Dumb Decisions, not yet anyway
I totally looked at my wife and said “this is going to be on dumb decisions tomorrow!”
I’m going to wedge an In Defense Of in this Dumb Decisions (TM) video and bring up Russell Wilson’s other noteworthy interception.
In Super Bowl 49 the decision to call a pass play was the right decision, based on the time and timeouts left. It’s just that the execution on the part of the Seahawks coaches and players wasn’t good. In the meantime the execution of Patriots Cornerbacks Brandon Browner and Malcolm Butler was great.
This…well, I got nothing. I don’t think anybody knew the name Tyree Cleveland before that play, but everyone knew the name Stephon Gilmore.
I don't mind the pass on SB 49 either (we're in the minority), but the fact that they came out with 3 WR's made Malcom Butler come into the game (there's film of the Patriots' coach sending in MB once he saw 3 WR's). There was no attempt to run the ball, therefore, the corners could play tight. Of course Browner knew the play based on the formation, but *any* variation of the play (even a play-action), would've froze the defense, including Malcom Butler. Russell would've seen that Butler jumped the route, rolled out, and either thrown it away to play another down, or a receiver would've broke open late and hit him in the endzone. But the fact there was no attempt to run the ball bothers me.
These coaches are constantly trying to outsmart themselves when playing off convention is the best. When a coach, team, or players are expecting you to do one thing (like run the football with Marshawn), play that to your advantage. When the Colts are expecting you to run the football, run a play-action bootleg and get your TE open or have Russ scramble for the first down (worst case, you get tackled for a short loss and run the clock down and kick a FG). But when you make no attempt to even fake a running play in an obvious running situation, that is just stupid football.
We’re really gonna have to rename this series the Nathaniel Hackett Special, aren’t we? Listen, Broncos fans, I love you, but you NEED to keep this guy! For the content. I hope you will understand.
I'm an Iowa fan, and my brother texted me today to tell me that I should be glad that at least Iowa has a better offense than the Broncos. You have to be really bad at coaching to be compared to the worst (well second worst this week, for now) offense in college football.
Adam Gase: I am the worst NFL head coach in history.
Nathaniel Hackett: Hold my beer.
Hue Jackson and Freddie Kitchens : hold our beers.
Also Urban Meyer was probably worse than Hackett.
Oh, you are so right. Hackett has to go. How could he possibly sit there in the pocket, survey the field and make one of the worst decisions to throw that ball I have ever seen. Oh, wait ... That wasn't Hackett making that throw? It was one of the top 10 QBs in the league? Hmmm ... Well, I do recall people screaming, 'Put the ball in Russell's hands. You got him to win games" ...
That situation didn't call for Hackett to dial up a passing play. He should've had one of his HBs run the ball there given the time remaining and that his defense was balling out. The Colts have scored the fewest points per game and have only the 21st-most total offense per game in the NFL.
@@marcus813 I agree they should have ran (just like they should have ran in the Super Bowl) ... but Hackett did not throw that TERRIBLE pass. AND, if Wilson is one of the top QBs in the NFL, he should have known better than to attempt that pass.
Love your channel. And your rants are great. This may be one of your best. Cheers!
The Broncos are a better version of the 77 Falcons
This horrible game also gifted us the most phony postgame presser in Broncos history from Russell Wilson, when he whispered “let’s ride”☠️
Immediately had this pegged for Dumb Decisions. Confirmed after the Broncos lost.
Why is passing an option when you have the lead, the ball, a couple minutes and change to go, field position deep in opposing territory, and your opponent has no timeouts and no proven ability to find the end zone that night? I hate the Broncos and this pisses me off.
As a Seahawks fan it’s interesting to see everyone hating on the broncos coaches. Over the past 4-5 years wilson (while making some magical plays) ultimately struggled to contend in the playoffs. So as we started to see bad offense the hawks moved on from Darrell Bevell and hired Brian Schottenheimer. We were elated and thought a new mind as OC would change the way the offense looked. It didn’t. We continued to have the same issues. After 2 years we move on from Brian and hire current OC Shane Waldron. He had one season with Wilson and the offense continued to struggle and look exactly the same. I feel this lies more on the shoulders of Wilson’s ego and limitations.
Look at Geno’s success this season. He is doing the things Russell refused to do. Geno takes the check down he also gets to the line early to survey the D and make checks. Geno utilizes the tight ends, he uses the middle of the field and runs QB sneaks. Is what Geno done sustainable, I don’t know. But he is running the offense the way the OC want him to.
I will say this is a result of the HC not laying down the law and the players not respecting him. Which was crippled after the bad decision in the Seahawks game. His comments in post game pressers is also not helping.
Ultimately what I’m trying to say is you can fire the head coach, the OC. This is the way Wilson plays and until he decides to play within the offense the Broncos will continue to struggle.
Haha your giving geno too much credit.agin Russell Wilson is not the problem.
Yes look geno looked good for two games but one was against the worst defense in the league.
I laughed so hard, makes you wonder if being a football fan is even worth it
In my mind there's a HUGE chance that Russ either changed this play at the line, or talked Hackett into it.
Not letting Hackett off the hook by any means, as a head coach it's his job to make sure that doesn't happen, but .... as a long time Seahawks fan, Russ is gonna do what he's gonna do, structure or playcall be damned. I still think he can be a good QB in this league but he really needs to pair with an experienced head coach who knows how to tell him no and keep him in line. Hackett isn't that guy.
On the last play, the broncos took 2 timeouts. Hackett gave Russ the option of a pass play or a run play and let Russ choose what he wanted to do, and Russ chose to pass.
On 4th and short, a team has four options: run, field goal, try and call offsides, or the Russell Wilson special of heroball. Nate Hackett chose the worst choice. What legends of ineptitude.
Run the ball
get 1st down win
4th and short opportunity for a win
thrown for a loss still get FG
worse case is a fumble or fumble return TD (with time on the clock to score)
A pass into the endzone
Sack still try FG but harder
Sack+ penalty that make a FG very hard
strip sack turnover
tipped pass int
int (pick 6)
incompletion (that leave more time and doesn't set up the 4th and short)
catch that becomes a fumble turnover
TD that leaves time on the clock
Completion in field of play (but Russell hates the middle of the field)
Russell scramble to win
Russell scramble to set up 4th and short
The game is in control with the run most likely options are pretty good the pass is a coin flip of scenarios most of which are the same or worse than the run
Thanks for the excellent summary! We've all seen bad games. Low scoring, no scoring and/or field goal contests. But I've never seen a worse game ever. Besides the inept play - there was no energy. Even the crowd was flat. Like something was over the stadium draining it. Hackett is in way over his head. It may have been different with a young QB but he's got an experienced winning QB in Wilson and I think that makes Hackett's problem worse in that he's not built to be a head coach in the NFL.
I don't usually call for 1st-year head coaches to be fired, but I have to make an exception for Hackett. A field goal there wouldn't have guaranteed anything other than forcing the Colts to score a TD, but it would've made things a lot harder for the Colts' offense given that the Broncos' defense was on point.
WOW that was the worst game I have ever watched.
I been waiting all night for this
This is just the worst coaching I think I've ever seen. If the Broncos hadn't spent so much on Russ to make a play I would think the Waltons had sent Hackett out to intentionally lose.
Urinating Tree is definitely going to be making a Greatest Game video about this one 🤣
Someone needs to make a cartoon about Colorado's own, Mike the Headless Chicken juxtaposed with Nathaniel Hackett now.
“The kind of game make you wonder if being a football fan is worth it”
🤣🤣🤣
If they were going to pass why not a dink and dunk over the middle?
Well, if they do decide to fire him at some point, Urban Meyer is available.
So is Herm Edwards
I went to sleep before halftime , woke up and won 10bucks
He was trying to build Russes confidence, I guess not😂
Seattle tried that in the Super Bowl, ended the same way as this 😂
This guy makes Matt Patricia look like an elite coach
14:12 nah honestly they should be 1-4 instead of possibly 4-1barely beat the 0-3-1 texans in a game where broncos fans were booing the offense the whole game . And that 49ers broncos game was also atrocious they're lucky that Jimmy G pulled a dan orlovsky and made the score 11 -10 instead of 10-9
Hence Broncos fans acting like it was the 7th Inning Stretch at Chavez Ravine
Can you do a video doing like the top 10 worst coaching decisions in nfl history?
If he lasts the whole year, it tells me Hackett has pictures of management with farm animals.
"The thrill of agony... and the victory of defeat..."
The Broncos have: Coach who can't manage game situations
RB who can't hang on to the football
QB who can't throw it in the ocean from a ship deck
Aside from all of that they are in great shape
Can we talk about how Darrell Bevell and Brian Schottenheimer deserve credit for making ABSOLUTE FRAUD Russell Wilson look like an all-pro?
As a Titans fan, I probably yelled at Nathaniel Hackett at this game more than I have yelled at Vrabel for his entire head coach tenure.
Hackett has a problem with game management and situational things like taking the FG to make it 6-12 instead of going for a TD and not getting it.
But if you watch the all-22, a lot of the plays that were called by Hackett got players open, Russ just missed them or didn’t see them. Like the play at 5:55, if Russ throws that with more lift on the ball and toward the back of the endzone, it’s probably a TD. Instead he tried to rifle it in while gillmore is trailing, which is the wrong type of throw to make there.
And the play call at the end of the game got KJ Hamler wide open, Russ just refused to look that way and threw it to Sutton who was covered.
Bad game management decisions and Nathaniel Hackett, name a better combination lol.
Not as dumb as the one in the super bowl; not only Seattle ended their dynasty before it began but it allowed the NFL’s golden boy to begin winning rings on a near annual basis again
... and then we havent even mentioned going for it on fourth in overtime and trying an endzone pass on 4th & 1 where an incompletion automatically loses you the game...
At one point the announcers were talking about how a game can be so bad that it's good and that this was not one of those games.
theres a theory that Russel Wilson wanted to throw the ball so he can be the hero in that situation to close out the game, the same way he went for 4th down in OT and Nathaniel Hackett is calling the right plays but Wilson shot calls, audibles and reads are ABSOLUTE GARBAGE or BLOCKED by an ego that he cant being a shot caller
“GUESS WHAT NATHANIEL HACKETT DECIDES TO DO?!”
To be fair, Hackett called a run play and a pass play to Russ, and gave him the option to choose what he wanted to do, and Russ chose the pass play.
Very few offenses in college and pro these days have a true identity. They’ve over thought themselves so much that they aren’t good at anyone aspect of moving the ball and can’t fall back on 6 or 7 plays they run really well. They think an incomplete pass on first down in the redZone followed by a running into a pile of humanity on 2-10 like it doesn’t mean anything.
Life of a coach. Get flamed for not putting the ball in the hands of Wilson in week 1, then put the ball in the hands of Wilson to convert a 3rd and 4, still gets flamed.
I mean it was the wrong decision both times
But that's the thing about football, it's very much based on the situation. The situation in Week 1 was very different than this game. I'll try to explain a little bit:
When you're behind, you want to give yourself the best chance to extend the game if attempting to win the game is too difficult. You want to extend it until you have a better opportunity to win it. When you're ahead, you want to milk the clock and chew up yards (first downs) as much as possible. Scoring is a bonus, especially if the game is close (like it was).
In Week 1, going for 4th and 5 has a better chance of extending the game and giving yourself a better chance of winning later once you make it (because they were behind). Kicking a 64-yard FG will most likely make you lose the game then and there if he misses (which has a 98% probability). In this game, passing the ball in the endzone does not milk the clock, nor does it chew up yards, therefore, it's pointless. If they run the ball and only gain a yard, the offense has done its job by running the clock down and getting as much yards as possible, then handing the game to their defense (because that's why you *have* a defense). The Broncos *chose* to give Indy more time AND didn't cushion the lead (dropping back to pass has a much higher chance of turnover than any routine running play).
Obviously, everything changes in OT, and while I don't have a problem of the Broncos going for it on 4th and short, there was no attempt to run the ball, which means the corners can play press and disrupt the routes of the receivers, especially the fact that it's already congested that close to the endzone, it's hard to see anyone (even a wide-open receiver).
Football, like most sports, has its subtly when it comes to strategy. Just like how you don't throw to home on a bunt with 2 outs with no force-out... you don't throw the ball under 2 minutes left when you have the lead and the other team can't stop the clock. You just don't.
@@ColtsPacers1 in hindsight, of course.
"the Broncos should be 4-1 right now" lol What?
I can agree with you on most of this video, But if you think the donkeys are a top tier team that you expected to have a 13-4 or 12-5 record, I'm gonna need some of that Colorado weed for that.
Well, if you think about it:
Week 1 - They probably win if they convert that 4th and 5.
Week 2 - Win
Week 3 - SF was the better team.
Week 4 - You lost to the Raiders???
Week 5 - This game that they should've won.
4-1.
All things considered, Broncos had a pretty easy schedule at this point. They haven't played a team with a winning record. But wait until they play the Chiefs and Rams. They're going to get massacred.
Also, never forget that Josh McDaniels as the coach for the Broncos started 6-0 and missed the playoffs that year. A 4-1 record means shit when you have a bad coach.
Russell Wilson have the right nickname too "Dangeruss"
And this was the first time a coach made a dumb decision to have Russell Wilson throw on the goal line lol
I'm so lucky that the one player I had on my fantasy team playing was Brandon McManus (Broncos Kicker)
Hugh Jackson celebrates every week that Hackett isn't fired
Cant wait to see this weeks edition of "Hackett the worst head coach in the history of football."
As a Chiefs fan, I hope they extend Hackett for the next ten years 😁
I was SO glad they signed Russ. I was like 'Cool another round on the QB carousel'. Then I saw the contract they signed him for and was like "wait what? they think he is still a good quarterback too?"
Dis gon be guud!
Especially at his age how is that going to work he'll be really old at the end
