L 14-24 at 49ers · Oct 4, 2026
Misery Index · Miserable
Broncos fans blaming the turf, the refs, the playcalling, and B.Nix's ankle in roughly that order.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
The M.Mims muffed punt in the third flipped the game before Denver could steady itself, and B.Purdy's 56-yard shovel-and-sprint to G.Kittle in the fourth made the deficit academic. J.Waddle's late touchdown from B.Nix was the kind of garbage-time scoring that papers over an offense that didn't show up until the lights were already off. The playcalling questions aren't going away, and neither is the feeling that a full game of competent football is somehow still too much to ask.
What fans said
“the offense earned and deserved this L and will continue to do so if they don’t figure out how to play a full game of football.”

“Just discovered that the Seahawks game got bounced by CBS here in Alaska for the Broncos 49ers game… WTF? Headed to the local bar. Go Hawks!”

“Our playcalling is abysmal. Zero aggressiveness. Zero run game establishment. Brutal.”

“Seattles defense gave up more points to both Washington and Chargers than 49ers gave up to the rams and broncos COMBINED 😭”

[Kendell] The Broncos’ opponents the first four weeks of the season are a combined 13-3, or 11-1 if you take away the games vs Denver… with that one loss being LAR v SF (so barring tie someone had to lose). About as brutal as we thought it would be when the schedule was announced.
