Too much ice in Buffalo from the Waterworks Bills

Knowmo - remind me, is Elway still planning to make adversity his bitch? Has Elway’s half-wit son tweeted about that lately? You have been failing to keep us informed of these important updates.

McDermott would have saved the Queen if Milano hadn't got it caught in his zipper again. Surely Bronco Big bucks can buy his contact

One QB was 38 years old with 10 Pro Bowls to his name and the other QB was 33 years old with 9 Pro Bowls to his name.

I still think Russ will be Russ once we get a coach who knows what he's doing in place.

So if the donks lose this week, they will have gotten swept by the west. I'm loving it

Good thing they brought in the younger, better option at QB.

Broncos replace entire field for season finale, as new Denver ownership promises to spare no expense (via @JamesPalmerTV)https://t.co/CwyJvoQ3J9 pic.twitter.com/VZGm2TODR8

Spoiler!

Broncos CEO and owner Greg Penner has made it clear again that he's going to do anything necessary to get Denver back to being considered one of the dominant franchises in the NFL.

Last week, the Broncos organization didn't feel the field conditions for Empower Field at Mile High were up to their standards. In light of the weather and the number of events the stadium has hosted, Empower Field, which is a grass playing surface -- not an artificial turf -- was showing signs of wear and tear.

Penner made the decision to have the entire field replaced ahead of Denver's final game of the regular season: Sunday vs. the AFC West rival Chargers.

"To their credit, Greg and our ownership were willing to make the significant investment of a new field for our final game of the season," Broncos president Damani Leech told me Friday. "After our last home game and following a perfect storm of significant activity combined with inclement weather, the field was simply not up to our standards. Our turf crew and stadium management had a window to install it, we took advantage of it and they got it done."

The decision to replace the grass -- at a cost of $400,000, per Penner -- is notable. After all, it's just for one game -- the field will end up being replaced again before the start of the 2023 season -- for a team that's 4-12. It's a telling example of how this group plans to run the organization moving forward.

"We appreciate Broncos ownership replacing our field -- even for just one game -- to give the players a better and safer surface than the previous two games," Broncos kicker and union rep Brandon McManus told me Friday. "It means a lot that Greg and the owners took action after the field didn't play or look up to the standard."
