Live Game Discussion
The broncos are confused by penalties against them on their home turf, they are not getting away with things they usually get away with & the frustration is showing. Yes absolutely the amount of penalties is crazy but many have been fair calls that other teams are pinged for.
 
It’s the way she goes.
When you are on the back foot and fatigued, your technique and timing drop, you start looking for shortcuts and/or start getting a bit dirty to force possession change over. It’s been happening for 100+ years.
These days with the extra eyes on you the discipline needs to be excellent. At the speed the game has eveloved to, that is impossible.
It's not just physical fatigue it's mental fatigue that causes errors. And if you have no time to catch your breath you are always going to have players in desperation who make poor choices

Yet the refs get a whole lot of back up for their poor choices and errors in the same frantic situation that they facilitate.

It’s not always the refs, it’s mostly the players fault.
Take that try then as an example. Carrigan gives away a stupid six again which results in a try. I’m sure some fans are sulking about the six again being given, but it was warranted.

Interestingly they toyed with the idea of changing the kick off rule in the off-season. I think they saw these blow outs coming. They’ll have to tweak it somehow.

The coaches were against it. But they didn't foresee that their teams wouldn't get the ball for 15 minutes plus.
It needs to come in if this crap continues.

Fatigue mate - he is absolutely stuffed. They have been starved of possession
