I think its funny that Fox mentions nothing about thanking the fans over the years for support. Most coaches even fired ones thank fans if even tongue in cheek.

Well seeing as we've been talking poo about him over the years and especially this year...

This is the weirdest thing ever that he's still going to coach on Sunday. I've never seen a situation where the owner has made it official that a coach won't be returning, but yet that coach still goes out and coaches another game.

If Fox and his staff didn't coach, we'd have DeAngelo, TD, Otah and all the rest of the injured guys coaching instead.

On second thought, that could be fun.

Although everyone knew it was coming, could the fact that the announcement was made before the final game, as opposed to next week mean we are looking to move quickly on the next coach (fighting SF and Michigan for Harbaugh)?

That would be my best guess as well. I think if JR had his way the new coach would be announced at about midnight on Monday.....:D

And Harbaugh cant select his own coaches because.....

It's not that he can't but does JR trust him that much, willing to give him that much control? I guess it all depends on who picks the new staff. Just seems unlikely to go with a coach who has yet to head coach a single NFL game and let him pick his own staff, not something I would expect from JR.

My point is that it's odd they didn't just save this for Monday since there is still the one game left.

I can't wait to see this game and see if the fired coaches mail it in. I know I would if I was on that staff. What point is there to not to? The players won't mail it in so it will make for a very interesting contrast to watch.

      I don't know about you but I have been a life long Chiefs fan for the past 4 years.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Sure there's a ton of transplants in Colorado now. But as far as Denver in particular goes the Broncos have also been around for 65 years. Someone moving to Denver is going to be far more likely to become a fan of the Broncos and even attend games versus someone moving to Charlotte and the Panthers. Like I said it's not just one single thing with us it's multiple factors.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      He's definitely getting better. It's fun to watch.  I've been getting killed for this take, but with the current state of college football, it just takes more time to develop a quarterback. I don't think it's a plug and play position anymore. I'm really not sure if it ever was. NFL offenses have always been substantially more complex than the college game, and the college game has simplified even more in recent years. Many college teams do not have a physical playbook anymore. That's just not the national football league.  Are there freaks who have success from day 1? Yes, without question. But so many of those guys are runners, and so many of those guys tail off. Is Bryce ever going to be Josh Allen? Probably not.  What I am seeing is a guy with complete command of the offense. He's checking into things at the line, making adjustments, and making timely throws.  He goes to David Moore a ton, because Moore is a consistent route runner. Bryce knows where he is and when he should be open. I think the guy with the "super processor" needs to be comfortable in the offense in order to do the "super processing." He doesn't have elite arm talent, and he is small of stature, but if he makes the smart play consistently, and he's willing to throw the ball downfield and not make mistakes, like he's starting to show, he's going to be a starter for a long time in this league, and it's not a position I'd spend draft capital right now.
