The Broncos defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars in game week eight as Wilson returned to the starting lineup after injury. And the QB posted a message for the fans after the game. ‘Let’s Ride baby,’ he tweeted with a video praising the team’s game. The fans were not impressed by the performance though and slammed the QB.
This fan asked Wilson to shut up.
Shut up!! You have a lot more games and teams to deal with that have a much better record than the Jaguars!!!

And this fan wants the Broncos’ QB to calm down.
Wow. 4 point win. 3-5 record. Calm down big boy.

A fan pulled up Wilson’s record this season and asked if the performance is worth the contract money.
This is the performance of $50M per year QB?
Week 8 – 84.3 RYG.
Most employers would terminate employees for similar poor performance. Unacceptable.

This fan had a lot to say.
Give it a rest! You sucked today……. Again….. just cause we won doesn’t excuse your horrendous decision making! Are you stupid or just don’t know how to read defenses? Instead of thinking what to say, learn the playbook! Take your Let’s Ride & shove it up your ass!

A fan said it was just the Jaguars.

The fans want to see the old Wilson, that the Broncos thought they were getting, back. Can he win them back to his corner?
Wilson’s season so far
Russell Wilson joined the Broncos after the 2021 season in a trade deal. But he hasn’t really set the league on fire. The QB has played seven out of the eight games for the team this season. In those games, the Bronco won just thrice. He missed the week seven loss to the New York Jets due to a hamstring injury.

Wilson has a completion rate of 58.8%, completing 134 of the 228 pass attempts. He has thrown just six touchdown passes in seven games. The opposing defenses have intercepted four of his passes.
Even in the 21-17 win against the Jaguars, he completed 18 of his 30 passes. He threw one touchdown and an interception. Denver is third in the AFC West division table. Their hopes were on Wilson to take them to the playoffs. For that, the team will have to improve on their current 3-5 record.
