Yup. Doesn’t matter. Not passing us up. It’s great seeing Knowmo have no chance but get excited :-) [Reply]

Agreed. But honestly, I was never that concerned. How many coaches have Super Bowls with different teams? Denver is in full panic mode and is looking for a quick fix with a big name. There's way more wrong with that organization than just the head coach. This is exactly what rookie ownership does. You're right in that they would be hiring their own Gruden. I doubt they actually do it. But this IS Denver, so... [Reply]

Quick question.
What one move brought the Chiefs out of the Pioli era doldrums? [Reply]

Quick question.
How many Pro Bowlers were on that Kansas City in 2012 that went 2-14. Answer? Six.
Quick question.
How many Pro Bowlers did Denver have this year?
See the difference?
There was elite talent already on that roster. They just needed a solid stable coach to direct it. That’s not the case in Denver. They have a roster lacking talent and a washed up QB locked into an expensive cap heavy contract. [Reply]
His run first and play ball control game won’t do anything against us. We’ll do exactly what we did to Gruden: go up 2 TD’s and force them to abandon the run.
It’s hilarious that Knowmo thinks that’s the hire to beat us. If you want to beat the Chiefs, using a philosophy from 1990 isn’t gonna give you any shot [Reply]

Justin Simmons, Pat Surtain, Courtland Sutton, Garett Bolles, and Russell Wilson have all made the Pro Bowl.
We also have a nice group of young, future Pro Bowlers with Jerry Jeudy, Greg Dulcich, Quinn Meinerz, and Javonte Williams.
Denver has good players everywhere on the roster, they just need some help at LG, C, and RT. [Reply]

In all seriousness, they brought in a top 2 coach in the league. Then they traded for Alex. You’re stuck with a bad quarterback with declining talent, and an albatross of a contract (that you were ecstatic giving him). Then our new GM/HC started building the roster based off the elite players we had on the team.
You are stuck in purgatory with EmbaRuss, and his “very reasonable contract:-)” a team full of jags, and brokedicks. Haven’t drafted well outside the top 10 in years, and you have Condy helping find a new coach for an utterly clueless ownership group.
KC gonna keep stacking titles, Dungver gonna keep replacing their coaches every other year trying to keep pace! Enjoy! I’m going to be! [Reply]
