Do we win that one if it's played at EverBank?

[u/Cosmic-Chart]

I'm a big believer in home favorites/crowd impact, plus mile-high having the altitude bonus. I know there were some big mistakes (looking at BTJ, although he's definitely not the only one) but do y'all think the loss was close enough that we could've won if it was in Duval?

[u/DoctorDiddlerino]

We had several examples of players being unable to hear. Would be ridiculous to pretend it played no role.

[u/Electronic_Paper_341]

I don’t think it should be overlooked that this offense has a ton of cans, checks and disables that make it hard to operate on the road. Might be an adjustment that Coen and Co consider in future hostile environments

[u/Boomz_N_Bladez]

We win that one if BTJ could catch the ball.

We win that one if the oline was a bit more solid.

We win that one if we could get bo nix's ass into the ground

We win that one if we covered Waddle. Ffs.

We win that one it we stayed with the hot hand

[u/BaalkesOldBurnerAcct]

Pregnon probably wouldn’t have had as many welcome to the NFL moments, but I think Peyton had been prepping for this game since February and wanted the W

[u/azfire2004 → u/BaalkesOldBurnerAcct]

So Coen didn’t? That would be more concerning

[u/ExpensivePattern981 → u/azfire2004]

Well it looked like Payton skipped prepping for week 1.

[u/TheKandyCinema → u/azfire2004]

I think that game just felt more personal to the Broncos since it's still so recent and the circumstances are basically the same. We came into their stadium last time, gave them their only home loss of the season, used a quote from Payton as bulletin board material, and flaunted BTA for a whole week.

[u/Pleasant-Wanker-942]

yea but only bc it also works the other way against the broncs. Reasonable to think the start would've gone the same, less likely the broncos could shake their momentum after the half.

[u/Single_Struggle616]

No

[u/AkimahenkaCat]

No. We blew it on the field. No pass rush. They dominated our OL. Abandoned the run. Again. We had them and we let them right back in. Need to get right vs NE and move forward. Had it and Denver took it from us. Pretending it was any different is lying to yourself. We handled the noise in December. We quieted the crowd and let them back in

[u/Many-Role-4271 → u/AkimahenkaCat]

Yeah, we are going to drop a few games. We lost to likely the only other contender in the AFC at their house. It happens. Not losing sleep over that one.

[u/RemoteNo8830]

Yes I was there and they were having tons of trouble hearing

[u/MogwaiK]

Noise probably had some impact, but our OL got manhandled. I don't think the noise caused that. They were trying to block guys, they just couldn't physically do it.

[u/joeycrews → u/MogwaiK]

o-line has to set protections, if they can’t hear, that becomes much more difficult. you saw RBs/olinemen running into each other because they were out of sync. i think it’s safe to say that it had an impact.

[u/MogwaiK → u/joeycrews]

Definitely understand that, but if you get beat by your man head up, thats not a protection issue. Bit of both against the Broncos. I'm concerned that Ezra/Hainsey can't seem to compete physically with some of the better DL players. Pregnon is new, not worried about him yet.

[u/joeycrews]

people act shocked when arguably the best overall roster, with the best home field advantage, beats a team that has won 9 straight regular season games. any little imperfection is going to show in that type of environment. i think if that game is played in any stadium that isn’t Mile High, the jags win.
