4 Reasons Broncos Fans Shouldn’t Jump to Conclusions After Seattle
Week 1 is in the books, with the Denver Broncos falling short in a 26-20 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The Broncos got great field position several times but the offense didn’t capitalize, while the defense kept them in the game in the first half but had issues in the second.
Many fans were no doubt hoping the Broncos could prove critics wrong from the start, but rookie quarterback Bo Nix showed he has a long way to go with his play and establishing a rapport with his receivers. Also, the Broncos may have lost a key offensive player for at least a few games, with left tackle Garett Bolles exiting the game early with a lower-leg injury.
The Broncos defense did some good things early on but could not keep the pace up in the second half. Denver’s special teams did its job well throughout.
But Week 1 is not the indicator of how things will go for a team the entire season. It’s why football analyst Aaron Schatz calls Week 1 the ‘National Jump to Conclusions Week.’ The single-game sample isn’t enough to reliably judge a team.
We saw this to some degree last season when the Broncos stumbled out of the gates in Week 1 in a close loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Denver then got humiliated by the Miami Dolphins in a historic Week 3 loss. But fortunes turned for the Broncos later on, and they finished 8-9 despite many flaws on the team.
There are going to be growing pains with this team, but that doesn’t mean everything that happened in Seattle will predict what the season will be like. There may be one or two things that are cause for concern, but the key is to see how the Broncos improve throughout the season and continue to do well in the areas in which they did execute.
Here are four things to consider about the Broncos’ Week 1 loss and whether fans should be so quick to jump to conclusions.

There’s no way to sugarcoat it: Nix had a bad regular-season debut. He stared down receivers, his mechanics were a mess, and he tried to force plays.
It’s easy to think after one game that all the pundits who predicted Nix would be a bust are correct. It’s easy to believe that a rookie QB needs to look like CJ Stroud right off the bat to have a future in this league.
However, that’s not always the case. Nix struggled but he did make a few good throws. He has shown he can escape the pocket and either extend the play or gain yards on the ground.
What Nix needs to learn is how to go through his reads at a quicker pace. That will only come with time on task. The question is whether he will figure that out. If he does, he can become a good starting QB, but if not, he won’t have a future with the Broncos.
With that said, it’s just one game. What matters is how Nix grows and learns from this game.
Verdict: Don’t jump to conclusions yet.
The Broncos defense got off to a hot start, pressuring Geno Smith early and forcing an early interception after D.J. Jones hit him as he threw. The Broncos also notched two safeties, one after a pressure led to a holding call in the end zone and another after defensive end Zach Allen tackled Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III in the end zone.
However, the Broncos offense wasn’t able to convert the interception into a touchdown. Neither did the offense score six after a muffed Seahawks punt that the Broncos recovered. That made it a closer game at halftime.
And in the second half, the Seahawks made adjustments on offense and got the ball moving more often. The Seahawks capitalized on Broncos’ defensive mistakes and got two big plays that resulted in touchdowns.
It’s easy to blame the defense here, but while the Broncos had their issues, we knew going in that it’s not a defense that can carry the team. The Broncos defense has the potential to be good, but it won’t be an elite unit.
The Broncos defense will face some better offenses later in the season but that doesn’t mean all is lost. The talent is there for a defense that can keep the Broncos in games. Getting the offense to capitalize when the defense gift-wraps an opportunity will help.
Verdict: Don’t jump to conclusions yet.
For years, it seemed like the Broncos couldn’t get things together on special teams. But the Week 1 game saw plenty of things to like about the unit.
The Broncos were able to recover a muffed punt, and they downed a punt just inches from the goal line. The Seahawks didn’t get a big return on most plays.
Marvin Mims Jr. didn’t get much done in the return game, but he was good in making decisions about when to return the kickoff under the new rules. Perhaps the Pro Bowler can break off a longer return at some point.
While special teams may not be the unit that often decides a game, the battle of field position is important and the third phase plays a big factor. I’m optimistic that we’ll continue to get quality special teams play this season, especially based on the vast improvements the Broncos achieved in this area last year.
Verdict: There is reason for optimism.
The Broncos entered the Week 1 with nobody on the injury report. But during the game, they lost Bolles to an ankle injury.
The Broncos were fortunate last year to not have too many injuries on the offensive line and keep continuity throughout the season. Unfortunately, it took just one game before Denver seems to have lost a key player.
Matt Peart stepped in to relieve Bolles and was okay but he’s not as good as the starter. Losing a key starter up front is a definite cause for concern, especially if Bolles misses a lot of time.
For now, let’s hope that Bolles’ injury isn’t too serious. He has played through minor injuries before, but if this one is more significant and costs him a lot of games, he’ll be difficult to replace.
Verdict: There is cause for concern.

SEATTLE – Western Washington is staying locked into a cool and unsettled weather pattern as we head into the second half of the week.
Showers will continue to rotate through the region over the next several days as a series of weather disturbances move overhead, keeping skies mostly cloudy and temperatures running below average for mid-May.
Thursday will bring a brief break in the action before the next weak system arrives later in the day. Expect scattered showers to redevelop with plenty of cloud cover sticking around. Temperatures will remain cool, with highs near 60 degrees.
It will be cool on Thursday in Western Washington with increasing clouds and showers. (FOX 13 Seattle)
What’s next:
The weather turns a bit more active Friday as the next system swings into the Pacific Northwest. Western Washington will see widespread showers and even the possibility of a few isolated thunderstorms. While not everyone will hear thunder, a few heavier downpours and small hail can’t be ruled out if any storms manage to develop during the afternoon.
Rain showers will push through Western Washington again on Friday afternoon. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Saturday will be cool with scattered showers and another chance for isolated thunderstorms, especially near the Cascades. Afternoon highs will struggle to make it out of the 50s across many lowland Puget Sound area communities.
Mountain travelers should also be prepared for a dramatic change compared to the recent warm spell. Much colder air will filter into the Cascades this weekend, and while significant snow accumulation looks unlikely, higher elevations could still see snow showers and sharply colder conditions. Anyone planning outdoor recreation in the mountains should be ready for winter-like weather at times.
Snow levels will drop to near pass levels in the Washington Cascades Friday through Sunday. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Looking Ahead:
The pattern finally begins to improve late in the weekend and into early next week. High pressure is expected to rebuild over the northeastern Pacific, bringing a return to drier weather and some sunshine. Temperatures should gradually rebound back into the 60s by Monday and Tuesday, although the ridge may remain weak enough to allow for occasional clouds at times.
Temperatures will be cool the next three days with showers in Seattle, but next week will be drier and warmer. (FOX 13 Seattle)
