"We have to do a better job of explaining that to him

Vic Fangio is just the second of the Denver Broncos‘ 17 head coaches to start his career 0-2, but he believes that should come with an asterisk.Fangio disputed two calls on Chicago's final drive Sunday and helped the Bears escape with a 16-14 win on Eddy Pineiro's field goal as time expired.One was a roughing penalty on Bradley Chubb and the other a decision by rookie referee Adrian Hill to put 1 second back on the clock after Allen Robinson's 20-yard catch at the Denver 35.After Fangio's gutsy call to go for 2 put them up 14-13 with 31 seconds left, Chubb had what looked like a clean hit on quarterback Mitchell Trubisky just as he got a first-down throw off to his tight end in Carlos Henderson Jersey the right flat.Asked about the call, Fangio began his Monday news conference this way:"In regards to officiating, I'm just going to quote Sean Payton, who's a much more senior head coach than I am: ‘We can't control poor officiating or awful calls.'"Of course, the Bears could say the same about the roughing call on Eddie Goldman, who put a clean hit on Joe Flacco earlier in the fourth quarter, tackling the quarterback around the waist.And Fangio had plenty to say about the officials putting time back on the clock after Robinson went to the ground just as the clock ticked to 1 second, then 0, leading the Broncos and their fans celebrating an incredible win while the Bears begged for the crew to put time back Matt Paradis Color Rush Jersey on the clock.The referee quieted the crowd and the Broncos when he said the Bears had called timeout in the nick of time and put 1 second back on the clock."No, I don't think there was," Fangio insisted. "He went down at 0:01 and nothing in life, in the world, happens simultaneously. There is lag time there, and they didn't deem there was lag time there."The Broncos hadn't started a season with consecutive losses in 20 years."I thought we won," Derek Wolfe said. "And then I was like, ‘Wait, how are they kicking a field goal ? The time is out.' And then before that, I thought, ‘How do they call a roughing the passer on Chubb?"WHAT'S WORKINGEmmanuel Sanders has 16 receptions for 184 yards, two https://www.broncosfanstore.com/Andy-Janovich-Jersey TDs and a 2-point conversion so far in his comeback from left Achilles tendon surgery and an operation on his right ankle.WHAT NEEDS HELPFangio was the designer of the NFL's best defense in Chicago and the Bears' hallmarks were takeaways and sacks two things the Broncos haven't managed to collect any of so far.Fangio pointed out that both the Raiders (29-27) and Bears (28-26) ran the ball more than they passed it, "which is unusual these days."Playing from behind negates the threat of Chubb and Von Miller wrecking opponents' game plans.STOCK UPYes, it was a gut-wrenching loss, but Fangio having the guts to go for 2 raised his standing."Coach told us in training camp that he's going to play aggressive, he's going to play to win," Bradley Chubb Jersey Chris Harris Jr. said.He backed it up Sunday.STOCK DOWNLT Garett Bolles‘ four holding flags Sunday gives him an astonishing 34 infractions in 34 career starts and he's somehow regressing under Hall of Famer Mike Munchak he had 10 holding calls his rookie season, nine last year and five already this season.Three of them on Sunday came on runs."I think he suffers from him thinking he's in good position sometimes and dumps the guy at the end where he thinks it's a legal block," Fangio said. "We have to do a better job of explaining that to him. He's got to do a better job of listening to the explaining, but I think he can."After the game, Bolles vowed to improve but accused the officials of picking Max Garcia Color Rush Jersey on him."I've built a reputation for myself in this league of holding. I disagree with it, to be honest," Bolles said. "… That was just unfortunate that they keep coming at me."INJUREDRT Ja'Wuan James (knee) won't be back anytime soon, so with Elijah Wilkinson filling in there, Bolles' starting job is safe. The Broncos are hoping CB Bryce Callahan (foot) and ILB Todd Davis (calf) can return and give their defense a boost next week.KEY NUMBER6 the number of consecutive losses by the Broncos, who have lost 30 of their past 46 games.NEXT STEPSThe Broncos have to figure out how to get a lead so they can put pressure on the passer and force mistakes, and with Packers QB Aaron Rodgers up next, Sunday would be https://www.broncosfanstore.com/Darian-Stewart-Jersey a good time to turn things around.
