With all the COVID stuff and corresponding injuries and a very, very young offense that didn’t have a real offseason, I’m 99% sure the entire staff returns next year and much of the roster. 

Is it the right decision? That’s debatable. But no way a team with very limited budget and without a real owner is going to pay out a bunch of coaches’ contracts when they can sell the fanbase on “2020 just 2020’d us.” 

That all depends on one thing: Elway's desire to return. I don't see Ellis firing him (he would be exposed), but if this season continues like this, Elway may have had enough, especially if Lock continues to struggle.

Jeez we're the bendovers death by field goals lol I'm stealing that

[Broncofan]

Great, now Albert O knee injury.

Sigh.

[Dbrog24]

Looks bad too. Sad cause he's been one of our best players surprisingly

[lomaxgrUK]

Oh boy. White flag time soon.

This is horrible. If I’m Elway I fire everyone tomorrow. 

That was what I said last week in the third quarter - except I included Elway and Ellis in the firing - then we won.

Elway has too much pride and too much invested to just walk away. I also think his contract runs through the 2021 season. No major changes come this January, they’ll use the COVID excuse and much of the fanbase and sycophant media will buy it.  

It’s a year from now when the chips get put down on the table; Ellis cannot survive as a de facto owner sans a massive turnaround. Brittany Bowlen will have next to no support or credibility with the fanbase the longer she remains tied to Ellis/Elway and their losing ways. 

Put bluntly, I think that if, at this time next year, the team isn’t in first place in the AFCW or a very close second, everyone walks away and the team gets sold.

So it appears Elway/Ellis/Fangio completely blew the OC hire. Pretty crushing

Pray that someone comes in and buys the team

Any filthy rich people in Colorado that come to mind?

[jsthomp2007]

I think you keep trying...there are a ton of great pieces on the Broncos, but they need a competent HC and I would tie a QB to him or her...maybe  Trey Lance, and I am going to guess that Jim Harbaugh will be available??

Robert F Smith is the name I keep hearing mentioned as an owner candidate. Jeff Bezos as well but I think Smith is far more likely. P

100% agree.  Another reason we're not drafting a QB in R1 this year.  I expect the staff to return, Lock + a veteran FA (Fitzpatrick, Dalton, Brissett, etc.) and the front office to sell improvement via continuity, growth of young guys, etc.
