The Myth that Nelson Sucks

[htismaqe]

Nelson (and the whole defensive backfield really) still is near the worst in the league at getting penalties. It's not all wine and roses with this crew.

The offense is averaging at/near 2 false-start penalties per game at home.

Penalties are a problem at every level of this football team.

Absolutely true...

They are throwing flags to keep our games semi close. Some of the bullshit is ridiculous.

Man, it’s really hard not to feel that way.

The Pats and Cardinals game are perfect examples. Opposing team could do no wrong while we get called for ticky tack BS.

We have had our string of breaks from the refs as well. It's just easy as fans to forget those and mentally hold on to the calls against us.

I’m not pretending or forgetting that we’ve had our share of breaks also.

I just don’t see how anybody can feel that it’s anywhere close to a 50/50 deal. We definitely get ****ed more than we get breaks, especially when you’re talking egregious BS. Anybody that disagrees is trying way too hard not to be “that guy” that cries about the refs. I’m not saying it’s a conspiracy, but it is what it is.

Every fan thinks their team gets ****ed more than other teams. My guess is we don’t, unless you or anyone else can provide some sort of proof to the contrary.

Whatever the case, I’ve been pleased with Nelson’s progress and play, especially when you consider the other “talent” around him.

Look I've had my hands in the air like everybody else this year. The reality is though that most people remember the bad more than the good.

Think back at all the horrible calls over the past 5 to 10 years that have screwed us. I bet a few just came to mind. I'm no different. Now think of all the great calls that have helped us. Probably not too many vivid ones coming to mind.

The easy joke here is to say there haven't been any, but objectively that isn't true. Point is that we hold on to the bad calls and forget the breaks. And if great players do get the benefit of the doubt, our complaining better happen now because it's about to end. The Broncos would argue it already happened. So are we an objective fan base and the Broncos fans aren't? Or is a little of both happening?

#11 CB as per PFF.

But don't say that. Fans want to keep saying Dorsey was so poor at drafting and as a GM.

He is not the reason why the offense is historically good but he is the reason why this defense is supposedly terrible. Ok.

And what about that guy earlier in the thread who was saying Nelson has been bad. Ok sure lol.

Quarterbacks haven't been able to pick on him much lately. They were abusing him early on in the season.

Yeah the Patriots being flagged for nothing against our elite skill players ad pass rush SURE is balanced officiating

We have a RB literally tackled in the open field when it appeared a ball could be being thrown to him and no flag came out. Guys were hanging off Kelce on a key play inside the 10 and again - nothing. There were just obviously game-changing non-calls that weren't even close judgment scenarios - they were obvious fouls right in the middle of the field and right in front of officials.

That Patriots game was one of the most unbelievably biased games I have ever seen; we got absolutely cornholed.

And what did we hear afterwards? How the Patriots discipline won them the game. Hell no it didn't - they were no more 'disciplined' than we were, they just got away with friggen murder.
