Wow I'm surprised he is was a great coach. Wouldn't mind seeing him in Green Bay and showing us how to really zone block. I know it will never happen though.

Shanahan? Great coach?

Don't get me wrong, he's not a BAD coach. But Great?

He was great when he had Elway and Davis. Oh, and that DOMINATING offensive line.

Without those? Not so much.

Either way.. I'm somewhat surprised, but when I think about it.. Not really. I know people in Denver were calling for his head last season. Now, the question is.. Who's the Broncos head coach next year?

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

The commentators were saying during the game against San Diego that if he lost this one, he'd probably be done, so I'm not entirely surprised. Shanahan has been on the hot seat among the fans for several years now; he was saved by a slavishly loyal owner. But considering he had GM responsibilities, he made his own bed, so it's hard not to hold him accountable for the downward slide of the Broncos.

Kind of surprised. But come on, the Broncos had SEVEN running backs on IR. Their number one was Tatum Bell-Hop coming into the last game. He was cut by the LIONS.

Still don't get that Bell wasn't picked up earlier, he's pretty good if you ask me.

Didn't see this one coming tbh, the way he can get the running game going without any good RBs at all combined with his O-lines always being pretty good and a QB who's stock is rising fast... He just seems to struggle alot with the defense though, maybe that's the reason?

I'd like to see who the Broncos will hire though, and whether that coach will actually get the team to winning record or just gets them to a 4-12 or so, with that horrible defense.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : Too bad camera's can't spot the ball as well.

Mucky Tundra (1-Apr) : So will the chain gang be gone completely or will they still be around as a backup or whatever?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : The method for measuring first downs in the NFL will switch from chain gangs to camera-based technology in 2025, the league announced.

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : A big step in the right direction. Just put in the college system is very very good.

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : NFL has passed a rule that allows both teams to possess the ball in OT during the regular season

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : Touchbacks on kickoffs will now bring the ball to the 35-yard line.

beast (31-Mar) : It might of gotten more popular recently, but braiding hair (even men) in certain cultures goes back for centuries.

Martha Careful (30-Mar) : Is men braiding their hair a new style thing? Watching the NCAA men's tournament many players have done

Zero2Cool (29-Mar) : Ha. Well, it'd be nice for folks to reset their own password. Via validated email 😏
