Denver Broncos (Official Thread)

After beating the Packers, who didn’t play a single starter, 27-2 in the second preseason game, I think we can all agree that the Donkeys should be favored to take it all.

Denver Broncos stadium: Franchise announces plan for new retractable roof home that will open by 2031​

Denver has been in the same open-air stadium since 2001​

The Denver Broncos announced on Tuesday that they plan to build a new retractable roof stadium with Burnham Yard, a historic district of Denver, as the preferred site. The project, which will be privately funded by the Walton-Penner Family Ownership Group, has a targeted completion date that would allow it to open in time for the 2031 season.

Former Bengals fans, come join me. Though I at least live out here.

Wow a successful team/ownership privately funding a stadium. Look at that Ohio.

Broncos QB Bo Nix breaks bone in ankle, out for playoffs​

Roughly an hour after the Denver Broncos had left the field awash in the emotions of one of the franchise's most dramatic playoff wins, coach Sean Payton stepped back into an interview room to confirm what was already swirling in the aftermath as a rumor.

Payton began with "not good news,'' and then said quarterback Bo Nix had fractured his right ankle three plays before Wil Lutz kicked a 23-yard field goal in overtime that gave the Broncos a 33-30 win over the Buffalo Bills in Empower Field at Mile High.

Payton said Nix will have surgery to repair the fracture Tuesday in Birmingham, Ala. It means Nix will miss whatever remains of the Broncos' postseason run and Jarrett Stidham will be the team's starter behind center.

Stidham, who was signed by the Broncos as a free agent in 2023 -- Payton's first season -- has appeared in one game this season. Stidham played four snaps, including a kneel-down to end the game, in the Broncos' 44-24 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8.

Stidham appeared in three games in the 2024 season, Nix's rookie year, but did not attempt a pass. His last significant playing time came in 2023, when he started the final two games of the season after Payton benched Russell Wilson.

Stidham threw two touchdowns to go with an interception combined in those two games, including a 16-9 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17 that season. Sam Ehlinger, who has spent most of the season on the Broncos' practice squad before he was signed to the roster last week, will be the team's backup.

"Stiddy is ready to go,'' Payton said. " ... He's ready, he's ready. I feel like I've got a two who's capable of starting for a number of teams and I know he feels the same way. Watch out, just watch.''

So is he saying "Just wait, you'll see."? Because I feel like I've heard that around the parts, and I still haven't seen.
