Yup. I posted the same sentiment on Monday - if we are at all interested, GB winning on Sunday is pretty key.
Sounds like Atlanta might not be willing to wait for Quinn and is possibly moving on Austin.
ALSO, Doug Marrone is an idiot.
Yeah that dude is super wish washy.
I like Quinn too but I'm ok with Kubiak. He's the safe choice. The only thing that pisses me off is that we should have never went away from zone blocking in the first place. Now we're going to have to scrap the OL and probably start a lot of it over.

As an outsider I think Kubiak would be more than just a meh hire. I think he's a very good offensive mind who did a fine job in Houston and could really help keep Peyton's arm fresh for the playoffs.

I don't care about the Broncos' coaching search, but re-treads usually have a pretty good record. Carroll, Coughlin, Belicheck, Dungy, etc. have all been re-tread when they won championships.
I don't know if you guys read the ESPN article, but the whole Broncos situation seems to be taking shape.
Kubiak coming in for interview. Vance Joseph is also coming in for an interview (former CU player and assistant under Kubiak in Houston). Joseph's interview takes care of the Rooney requirement, but it's rumored Vance Joseph is being interviewed for head coach or possibly coming in as defensive coordinator for Kubiak. Kyle Shanahan refused an interview this week with some other team and is rumored to be our offensive coordinator.
The Ravens have began contacting other coaches for their offense because they believe Kubiak is the top candidate for the Broncos job.

Shanny Jr. would make sense as OC here but Dennison does too.
It sure sounds to me that Atlanta has moved on from Quinn and looking at Austin for HC and Gase for OC. Supposedly Blank was very impressed with Gase, just not enough to be HC.
I'm all for Kubiak. But I have a funky feeling about the hire. Sort of like he'd only be taking the job to help out Elway not because he burns to lead a team again. Maybe this interview on Sunday is just Kubiak coming into listen to Elway's pitch and saying thanks but no thanks.
I'd love Quinn but I just can't see Elway waiting another month. And I dunno if Quinn would want to come here with an uncertain QB situation.
If he hadn't been out of the game do long, the idea of Dungy coming out of retirement for one more ride with Peyton would be appealing.

About Quinn - we could have interviewed him already with the Hawks permission. The fact that we haven't yet probably means either the Seahawks won't let us or Quinn isn't on the radar.
I think he's headed to the Falcons. Gase sounds like he'll end up a Raider or a Falcon.
I kind of have come full circle on this and agree with Tiger - let the Falcons roll the dice on Quinn. We'll take the proven Kubiak. If Quinn had ended up in Oakland that would've been disaster.

Shanny Jr is very close to joining the Bears. My guess is Kubiak brings one of his guys in as his OC.

get this idea out of your mind as i believe our only chance to interview Quinn would have been the bye week before the indy game, when we still had a HC
second interviews were allowed the next week, but only if you had already interviewed that person before

Random coordinator? Seattle's defense the past two seasons has been one of the best in NFL history. They have a passion which this team lacks.
Kubiak is "proven" with a sub-.500 record and failing in the playoffs in Houston.

We did the McDaniels rodeo once before, you could say glowing things about his resume too. Maybe Quinn will be fantastic but someone with experience needs to lead this group.

Hey guys, I'll be going to the Lightning game on Feb 22nd. There will probably be around 6 of us (all lightning fans), looking to spend around 50$ a ticket, where do you guys suggest we sit? Will we have any issues with Avs fans if we are wearing lightning gear? I assume not.
Suggestions for stuff to do before and after the game?
Looking forward to visiting your arena.

I haven't looked for this game in particular but look on stubhub for tickets, should be able to get lower bowl in the corner and ends for that price most of the time. Weekend games are more popular so look around.
We don't heckle other fans, just don't be obnoxious
Brooklyn's is steps from the arena. Food isn't anything special but will be packed if you are looking for pre/post game atmosphere. Otherwise, I'd suggest exploring downtown for something to eat. I can be more specific if you have an idea of what you are looking for.

Big thread here and it's just going to be repeating everything:

For tickets most seating is pretty good. I prefer club level and 1st and 2nd rows of the upper deck due to the view.
I usually buy tickets in Denver from Flashseats.com
You bid on them, and sometimes you get a bite really quick of the person just wants to sell them.
http://www.flashseats.com/Default.aspx?pid=18&ec=9000000000009337&ss=0&fss=2096238830
The lower level seats aren't as steep so your view can be more easily obstructed. I've gotten club seats at $40 a pop before and also gotten free parking passes and once and awhile food vouchers to go along with it, this isn't normal though.
For food before the game it really depends on your price range and what kind of food/atmosphere you're looking for.
Personally if i'm looking for Pizza I go to Proto's.

It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the stadium. Good atmosphere usually too. It's on a unique street outside of what you would consider the normal downtown area.
Another good little street to check out pre and post game would be the Larimer Square area. If you're looking for a market/deli type thing for food, actually REALLY good food there is a place there literally called "The Market".
LODO has some cool stuff too, but a bit further walking wise.
For parking I usually park at the theme park in Denver called Elitches. It's $10 instead of $20 if you park at Pepsi Center. All you have to do is walk over a bridge and you're there.
You might get heckled a bit but nothing out of the ordinary. If it were DET or Philly (for whatever reason) it could be a different story.

Seattle also has insane talent to work with. You stick Earl Thomas as the deep man behind a good secondary and a lot of DCs will start looking like geniuses. Not saying they've been badly coached, but when you've got that kind of secondary talent to work with it makes drawing up schemes/plays that'll work much easier.
Kubiak has had to deal with poor talent, first on defense and then at the QB position once Schaub was exposed after AJ slowed down and the OL stopped dominating. He did pretty well with the Texans and his offense should help preserve Peyton a lot, so that come the playoffs his arm isn't worn out again.
Earl Thomas is unbelievably good. I hate that Sherman gets all the press for their secondary. It's Thomas who affords all these other guys to take chances.
The one thing I do like about Seattle though is they seem to have scouting down to a T. Which is something the Broncos have not had in a long time. But if Quinn wanted guys and Elway wanted someone else, I think we all know who is going to get his way in that argument.

I'm surprised It's All Over Fatman hasn't stumped for McDaniels yet. You know it's what they're thinking.
Is this really a question?
DT is 27 and in the prime of his career, Andre Johnson is 33 and is on the decline of his career.
I take DT who is one of the 5 best receivers in the game right now over an aging Johnson 100 times out of 100 even if the price tag is significantly higher than Johnson's. You don't give up players like DT, he will be a lifer barring something strange.
