In Manning's last year with the Broncos every one said he was too old. I can't remember how many times people said father time finally caught up to him. For the most part they weren't wrong. It took the Broncos having one of the top 5 defenses of all time to win the Superbowl that year. The only points by a quarterback in Superbowl 50 was a 2 point conversion by Manning. Cam was completely shell shocked that game. Many Panther fans also believe that game also ruined Cams whole career. He's never really been quite the same since then.
I never have and never will understand how exercising one's first amendment rights in a country that supposedly treasures an individual's right to express themselves is so offensive. It is a form of peaceful protest. He is not doing ANYTHING to you, so chill out and maybe take a good look as to why he's doing it.

Yeah even with completely broken down body Manning still was the smartest player on the field, like it's not even close. Manning knew when to just go down, when he was going to have time, when he had to get the pass off quick, etc. The issue with Flacco is that his body is broken, but he can't read the play to save his life.
I think a lot of people were mostly angry about when he did it. His message was supposed to be about corrupt cops, but doing it during the anthem made it seem like he hated the military and the USA in general. It also didn't help that he wore pig cop socks making it look like all cops are evil. Then there was also that Castro shirt....
Blaming Flacco is nice and all but when you allow nine(!) sacks against the Cheifs D, there has to be some serious issues besides the QB.
The first Nuggets road game is on ESPN, and Altitude has bought air time on channel 20 to show the first Nuggets home game on local TV.
They say they will continue to buy air time on a case by case basis for both Nuggets and Avalanche games until Altitude is back on the big cable carriers.

Well our starting right tackel is injured, our starting left tackle is a bust and for some reason Elway and Ellis let our top graded center walk to free agency. Our guard aren't really anything to write home about either. Also in obvious passing situations our coach leaves Lindsay in to block instead of putting in our FB Jano.
Not to mention he takes FOREVER to get rid of the ball.

Real is time to move on. Elway need to go; he just keep trying the same things and hoping to hit a home run like he did with Manning and has been striking out every time. The sooner he’s gone the better so this team can rebuild and get back to the winning way.
Bad offense since the Super Bowl win and nothing has been fix; can’t barely mustard like 16pts a game if lucky. Just bring back Mike and give him another go, all of Elway hiring has been trash anyway.

Shanahan isn't the answer. He was a dinosaur in 2006. He also never accomplished crap without Kubiak.

Or when they traded down to pick Fant instead of drafting Bush.
Rumor has it that Elway was on board to bring back Shanahan, but Joe Ellis hates himand vetoed the idea. I don't know if Elway is the problem or if it's the trust. It seems like the trust might be what's really holding this team back. Elway hates to lose so I don't know why he wouldn't be spending up to the cap on players if it wasn't because some one higher up won't allow him to do so. Either way I think Elways time here is almost at it's end. Hopefully the team turns it around, but the team is being incredibly cheap lately. We have one of, if not the smallest front offices of all the NFL and it shows. Bad drafting, can't keep key players, can't sign big fishes in FA, etc etc.
WE NEED A REAL OWNER AGAIN.
Enough depressing Broncos talk. Pepsi Center teams are all we've got until next depressing baseball season.
Nuggets open up Wednesday night @ Portland, game on ESPN. Mammoth open up on November 29 at home against the Saskatchewan Rush.
Hopefully both teams get off to a similar start to the Avs. All three teams getting out of the first round of the playoffs last year was awesome; even farther this year would be epic.

1000000% agree with this. They completely botched that pick.
Even the guy I completely railed against them drafting (Josh Allen) would have been better too.
Not only is Nelson going to be a better player, but Shaqil Barrett is a legimitate NFL Defensive POY candidate right now. They didn't need Chubb. And he wasn't even the BPA - Nelson was by all draftnik accounts.
Nuggets are returning a league-high 88% of minutes played by players last season, plus adding Porter Jr and Grant.
I expect them to take a big jump. Their previous 5 seasons' win totals:
30
33
40
46
54
Better every year. Sky's the limit this year.

Oh, Ellis is a HUGE part of the problem. I've said this for years. He was instrumental in bringing in McDaniels and giving him managerial control, even though McDaniels himself didn't even want it.
Of course he was a big reason why Elway took over after McDaniels was ousted, and there was that Super Bowl win, but apart from that brief resurgence from 2011-2016 it's been an utter shitshow.
I'm trying to steel my resolve over an eventual Von trade but...that one is gonna hurt like hell. We Denver sports fans for the most part have had fan faves stick around for most of their prime years, if not their entire careers (most of the exceptions are, of course, NBA players...damned Nuggets).
Yeah that's crap. If his tenure proved anything it was McDaniels wouldn't listen to anyone.
You realize the "brief"period is longer than the period has been since.
But yes, Ellis needs to go before anything.

Pretty much Sanders for a 3rd.
Harris will probably bring similar.
Got to start somewhere. They need players all over the field.
Ugh, Broncos and Rockies are too depressing for words.
Thank God basketball season is happening and the Avs are off to a great start.
