Bronco was blaming the loss on fans leaving early. However, Bronco was clearly chastising fans for leaving early, in my opinion. There is simply no other reason for him to bring that up and make an issue of it. None.

Bronco is prideful and arrogant. It is what it is

Bronco has his issues. I don't think arrogance is one.

You give Bronco far too little credit for his media skills.

I can only guess for them, but I think the criticism of the fans is overblown...
