After a brutal start to the season, the Denver Broncos are looking to right the ship in Week 2 at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not going to be easy to do as these same Jaguars were the only team last season that beat the Broncos soundly and they did in Denver\u2019s backyard. However, after being totally embarrassed on national television last week, I would expect the Broncos to come out with plenty of fire and passion for this game.<\/p>\n

Collectively, our Mile High Report staff is predicting a Jaguars 24-19 win over the Broncos. The doomers overcame the bounce-back believers on staff today. Here\u2019s who to disagree (or agree) with in the comments:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s doom and gloom in Broncos Country after one bad game and they may very well lose this one too given Sean Payton\u2019s track record in September. That said, I think maybe they might be a little pissed off by the way things went down on MNF to open the season and they\u2019ll come out here and punch the Jaguars in the mouth on Sunday giving all the doomers a week to think about how silly their overreactions were after one game. – Tim Lynch<\/p>\n

The Broncos defense is lost. They are facing a Jaguar team that is a far more complete opponent than who they faced last week. The offense looks disjointed and in need of a few weeks to get online. I think I\u2019ll be optimistic and call the Broncos only losing by 2 scores. – Sadaraine<\/p>\n

I usually try to be optimistic about the Broncos. Alas, after their brutal loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football, I am not sure they are going to be able to rebound on a short week. They seemingly have way too many issues to fix. Jacksonville is a good team. Trevor Lawrence is playing well, and they have an opportunistic defense that is great at stopping the run. All things considered, I believe the Jaguars will find a way to topple the Broncos in Week 2. I hope I\u2019m wrong. – Chris Hart<\/p>\n

The week 1 loss to the Chiefs has most of us really struggling with the identity of this team. I would like to think that Week 1 is still just a glorified preseason game, but that was ugly. Jacksonville could present another difficult task, and beat up on a well prepared Broncos team last year. It\u2019s hard to feel confident in this team right now, so I won\u2019t try and be Johnny Sunshine here. It\u2019s gonna get worse before it gets better. – Adam Malnati<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trevor Lawrence has been on fire recently. Since week 10 of last year, he\u2019s scored four more total touchdowns than any other QB, is first in passer rating and 3rd in yards per attempt.<\/p>\n

Last week he picked up where he left off and continued looking dominant, so Denver\u2019s defense has their work cut out for them. Ordinarily, I\u2019d say after a performance like last week, the Broncos will have a bounce back get right game after going from a top unit last season to being embarrassed in primetime.<\/p>\n

However, I don\u2019t think this is the QB or game to get right and I think the panic continues for at least another week as the offense continues to sputter and the defense can\u2019t overcome the hot Jaguars. – Jeff Essary<\/p>\n

If not just for saving this thread, but this is a week to week league. Yes, the Broncos were embarrassed in KC. Even more motivation is Denver was embarrassed by the Jags at home last season. Every issue Denver faces is correctable. This isn\u2019t rocket science. And tackling is not connected to talent, it\u2019s about effort. I have no doubt that Payton and the leaders had their come to Jesus meeting on Tuesday. As Nix said after the game, the Chiefs loss was a nasty wake up call. The Broncos got the alert and will respond on Sunday. The defense will look like the defense that was atop the league last season, and Nix and the offense will play with way more consistency, execute better, and run the ball. – Ian St. Clair<\/p>\n
