Two questions for y’all! First of all, who pulls off a mullet the best, Zac Stevens or drew Lock or Noah Fant.
Second, trade Kyle fuller for Vander Esch, good deal or no?

I’m so hype you guys are on board with my Lane Kiffin to the Broncos take! I watched Ole Miss beat LSU on Saturday and am that much more dug in on this. In fact, I have now begun only living in a world where Lane Kiffin and Matt Corral are coming to Denver as a package next season. Think about it: WHEN the group fronted by Peyton Manning purchases the Broncos this off-season, Peyton’s gonna get Eli’s opinion on his buddies from Ole Miss. Do you think Eli’s going to sell them just a bit? This needs to get done.
I cannot overstate how much disdain Lane has for the Raiders. Go back and read about that all went down. It got ugly. And Lane didn’t want Jamar us Russell. So yeah give me that guy so that we can’t rub it in raiders fans faces every time Lane sticks it to them. I love this world. It’s so much sunnier over here.

Despite the past 4 weeks still excited to being going to the game and of course DNVR bar and the tailgate this week. Hope to see lots of the community Sunday.
Why can’t Ellis work on a sale of the team during the season? Is it the Bowlens, NFL rules or just tradition and timing?

Gentlemen.
Here’s a depressing question. Who has been the best offensive coordinator over the last 5 years?

Hey guys Long time no comment. Hope all is well. After Yesterday I CANNOT Watch this team anymore. I might have to wear a blindfold on Sunday just to get through the game. The Broncos have had a lot of injuries these past few years. I remember when Kubiak was our coach and he would give guys rest days and give guys more days to recover. Does Vic do anything like this….? I am just wondering why is there double the amount of Injuries then there normally is for this team. If you could shed some light on this topic “why Injuries are up” and can you pin any of that reasoning on the coaches scheme or lack of days off, etc. Thanks.

You didn’t hear it from me, but I’ll be in Englewood Wednesday morning for a tryout. Would’ve been there today but had to spend the night in the Oxford slammer. The mall cop said don’t spit my dip on the floor.. so I bodied the kid off his segway through the glass of applebees..clean hit idiot good game. Hope to see you guy’s at Von’s Halloween party on Saturday

What’s up friends? You gotta tell me about the tailgate party bus.
I’m coming out this weekend and doing the game completely DNVR style. Already have my party bus pass purchased, but what’s the skinny on time to be at the bar? Since it’s Halloween is there a costume party before, during, or after?
Even though we are not a good team, I’m still really looking forward to this. Plus I get to see Manning inducted into the Ring Of Fame.
Go Broncos and Go DNVR!

My Guys!
Everyone talks about the Broncos could have had…..Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Russell Wilson, Dak Prescott, the list goes on.
If they were indeed Broncos, at said time would they have been used and coached here as they are where they are at? I truly don’t think so. I get the hindsight but you’ve also gotta look into everything going on.
Dolphins could’ve had Herbert, he’s not the same in Miami as he is in LA.
Just a thought.

How do we have the “best” offensive line coach in the league and still have the worst offensive line? People want him as the interim coach when Fangio is fired next week, but he can’t even do his current job… might as well make the interim coach Tom McMahan if we’re giving it to *bleep* coaches.
Kendall Hinton, Hall of Famer
Just to clarify, when I said fans were apathetic and apoplectic, I didn’t mean that fans were both at the same time. I really meant that fans are becoming those two things, but in such a large fanbase you have some that are one or the other.
Anyway, Paton needs to turn this around. Warren Buffet said that every day you don’t sell a stock, you’re basically buying that stock again because you could sell it but you’re consciously and intentionally affirming that you still want to hold that stock at the price it is when you could sell it. These losses aren’t just on Vic, they’re Paton’s fault too. He makes personnel decisions which obviously contribute to the team’s success, he looks at Vic’s coaching and decisions and affirms every day that those are the decisions and that’s the level of coaching that he wants for this team. I think while Paton isn’t the person most responsible for the state of the team, he is somewhat responsible, yet he largely escapes fan criticism as fans call to fire Fangio, fire Shurmur, criticize this coach, criticize this player, etc.

Hi guys,
Take this comment in jest!
Last week i had no interest in watching the browns game, until a certain DNVR person said “I guarantee a win”, that was enough for me, took the day off work, im a contractor, so no work no pay!
So, who shall i send the invoice for lost revenue to, RK? SPANO? Or can i send it to Elway or Paton?
On a serious not, this franchise is YUK! Start Rypien and lose every game, and get a top 3 pick.
Cheers!

My Boys!
It’s been a long while since I’ve commented. But of course I’m always tuning into the pod.
I’m excited to say that I will be making a solo trip out to this Sunday’s game from Utah and of course i’ve already got my party bus & tailgate tickets locked in! I must admit though…buying tickets to the game was a very impulsive purchase as I, like most of us, was tricked into believing that we finally had a competent team that was going to be fun to watch again after the 3-0 start…obviously that hasn’t aged well and thus I sit here feeling very orange & blue balled…I thought about selling my ticket after
the Raiders game but ultimately have decided not to…ONLY because I want to meet y’all and get the full DNVR game day experience!
Anyways…I’ve been thinking about potential HC candidates for the future…what do y’all think about Clint Kubiak? Through 6 games he has the Vikings sitting 5th in total yards, 6th in passing, 8th in rushing, & 14th in scoring(24.5/PPG). Not too shabby for a 1st year play caller. If we do in fact switch gears in coaching philosophy and go with a young offensive mind this time around could y’all see him being a dark horse candidate? The connections are obvious both with the Broncos and with George Paton.

hey guys,
so, i’m seeing a lot of ‘the broncos need to pounce on kyle shanahan if he gets fired’, and even though there’s zero indication he’ll be fired, i just don’t think he’s been very good?
from his questionable personnel decisions, constantly putting guys in his doghouse and refusing to play them and supposedly being an ‘offensive genius’ but having mediocre offenses year in, year out and being carried by his defense constantly, i don’t think i’d want him as a head coach for 2022.
i’d take him as an offensive co-ordinator obviously like 30 other teams, but i’m not sure i’d take him as a HC next year. after a few years maybe, but not right away. what do y’all think?

Greetings all,
Haven’t commented in a while but still listening in regularly. I try to get in on the comments section of the live chat though so I still feel involved.
Don’t want to reiterate any negative comments here because I think all those grievances have already been aired. I do want to mention one thing though. Let’s just call this the year of mase already! Mase’s teams have all been straight fire this year with championships all the way around. The only blemish mase…. Chelsea knocking man city out of the champions league trophy. Womp womp.
Anyways Go dnvr, iceman, avs and nuggets

My boys,
It’s been a rough few weeks. Going to the games in Pittsburgh and Cleveland were brutal. I can’t believe Vic and Pat Shurmur still have jobs. You guys have been the bright spot during this whole season and make my work days better. I didn’t get all the “RK shouldn’t have guaranteed a win” comments – his optimism last Wednesday was a much needed boost!
All that being said, we need to rebuild with a modern offense and a new QB (What do you think the asking price is on Justin Fields?). I have one more game to go to this year – Dallas – and I’m mentally preparing myself to get hurt again.
Much love fellas!

Give me three reasons why the Broncos still make the playoffs. Go!

Sorry I’m late on this but Mase congrats on the braves beating my dodgers !
Mrs. Quill
I think a lot of fans forget Lock did reasonably well in the pre-season. At what point would you make the move, just to see if he’s improved? After the Dallas game if we are 3-6? Thanks y’all.

I tried scrubbing like hell but this damn tattoo just won’t come off. Haha kidding of course I’m ride or die but dang we sure have taken a swan dive since my son and I decided to profess our love for the squad with some ink. Please win a game soon so I don’t few like I have a scarlett letter branded on me.
In all seriousness though this team has big problems. Something is just really off and it’s very obvious to anyone watching. When you watch good teams you can just see that everyone is on the same page. They play as a team. When I watch the Broncos it seems like it’s just 11 guys doing there own thing instead of playing as a cohesive unit, especially on defense. Year 3 in the Fangio system and this is what we get?? No fire, lack of communication, poor tackling, I could go on and on. And on offense there is no identity whatsoever. What are we trying to do on game day? What does the other team have to game plan for? It’s like we go into every game like it’s a preseason game. I just don’t get it. I love this team and always will (I have no choice now with this damn tattoo) but watching them is just not very enjoyable. It’s actually painful but rollin with you guys definitely helps ease the pain.
