Official Game Day Thread: 2016: Week 17: Raiders vs Broncos

The two reasons don't have to be mutually exclusive. It was reported that his family expressed concerns to him about continuing. When combined with the reports that Elway would force coaching changes, it might have made his decision easier.

If the report is true, I highly suspect this is exactly why.

has it been confirmed yet?

has it been confirmed yet?

Multiple sources have "confirmed" it. If you're asking if the Broncos have officially reported it, no they havent. Several players have said Kubiak told them he is retiring, and he is having a conference tomorrow. I think it's a close to official as it can get and not be lol.

Not that I've seen. Common sense says his family would express concerns - he had a TIA in Houston then the issue earlier this season.

Even though we missed the playoffs and have some issues, I'm still proud of my team! They played a lot better today and with some heart! We'll be back in it with Elway piloting this ship!

Agree! It was rough to lose those three games but this team was in contention for a good part of the season. Given Manning's retirement, some losses on defense, young QBs and guys like CJ on IR - they beat the Raiders to close the season!

Nothing makes me happy than seeing the Raiders having to play a playoff game on the road..

McGloin (or Cook) Vs Savage (or Oz) is sure to be quite the thriller to open up the playoffs
