The criticism comes from all directions & on all platforms. Everybody blames Russell Wilson. The 2-3 start? His fault. The offense averaging 15 points per game? On him. The red-faced red zone? At his doorstep. It's not true, of course, writes TroyRenck.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The criticism comes from all directions and on all platforms. Everybody blames Russell Wilson. The 2-3 start? His fault. The offense averaging 15 points per game? On him. The red-faced red zone? At his doorstep.
"For me, I can handle it. I am built for it. I'm built for the good times and the tough times. Really, how you get out of it as a team is that we continue to keep building and focusing on today. Nothing else matters. Today has got to be the best day we’ve had so far," said Wilson, who is on pace for a career low 14 touchdown passes."And that will be no matter what our record is. If we were 5-0, which could have had a chance to be that, potentially.
Wilson's experience with adversity has left him prepared for this moment. The issue is that the Broncos don't have the luxury of patience. If they don't win two of their next three games — reaching the bye at 4-4 — it's hard to see a path of a winning record, let alone the first playoff berth since Super Bowl 50 with two contests remaining against the Chiefs and road games at the Titans, Ravens and Rams.
While blaming Wilson is easy, the truth is he played well enough to win in losses to the Seahawks and Raiders. There are problems all around him. The timing of receivers' routes remains inconsistent, if not off, the tight end is often a rumor — will rookie Greg Dulcich be active and contribute? — and the rushing attack has dropped to 19th overall .
