Dein erstes Forum » in Denver.After failing for the third straight

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Kevin Durant Jersey . - The Denver Broncos figured theyd be talking about facing Tom Brady this week, not pondering Peyton Mannings future and wondering who will be their next coach.Even with their ailing QB scuffling down the stretch, the Broncos sauntered into the playoffs certain they had found the formula to avenge last years Super Bowl plunge. That mixture featured balance on offence, dominance on defence and solid special teams.Yeah, we definitely had the ingredients, linebacker Steven Johnson said. It just didnt work out our way. So, weve just got to learn from it. Go home and sulk. Eat some ice cream for a couple of days. And then snap out of it and try to go back to work.GM John Elway gets no such break as he searches for a new coach while sifting through the wreckage of another season-ending debacle in which the Broncos lost as heavy favourites.Their lack of fire in Denvers 24-13 loss to Indianapolis on Sunday led to a quick parting with coach John Fox less than 24 hours later.Speculation about who will replace Fox starts with Baltimore offensive co-ordinator Gary Kubiak because of his close ties to Elway, whom Kubiak backed up at quarterback during their playing days together.Elway met with offensive co-ordinator Adam Gase on Wednesday morning. Gase, the hottest young offensive mind in this years crop of head coaching candidates, had a lengthy second interview with the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday in Denver.After failing for the third straight time to parlay the best regular-season record into a Super Bowl title, the Broncos face an off-season of uncertainty unlike anything theyve experienced since closing the chapter on Tebowmania three years ago.Manning, who was bothered by spotty protection all season and a strained right thigh this last month, is pondering retirement.Elway asked him not to make a rash decision — although hell need an answer before the last day of the league year, March 9, when Mannings $19 million salary for 2015 becomes guaranteed.If Manning returns, the Broncos might have to ask him to restructure the final two years of his contract to free up money to bolster the roster, particularly the porous O-line.His protection failed to give him enough time or space to step into his throws. When opponents used the Seahawks Super Bowl template and clogged the crossing routes, Manning had to throw outside the numbers and morphed from one of the all-time greats into a pedestrian passer, one who overthrew his receivers eight times Sunday.Even if he wont have to move on from Manning — whos 2,147 yards, or about a half-seasons worth, shy of Brett Favres career passing yardage record — Elway has a long to-do list this off-season.Among their dozen unrestricted free agents are star receiver Demaryius Thomas, Pro Bowl tight end Julius Thomas and nose tackle and defensive captain Terrance Pot Roast Knighton.Knighton could follow Jack Del Rio to Oakland. Drafted by Del Rio in Jacksonville, Knighton thrived under his tutelage in Denver. He recently told The Associated Press, I want to be wherever Jack is.Cornerback Chris Harris Jr. doesnt want to see Knighton go.I love the way he plays and what he brought to our team every day, Harris said. Im going to send him the same message Im sending Peyton: Come back!Wes Welker, whos coming off his worst statistical season since 2005, said hes not sure he wants to return to Denver, adding, There are a lot of things Ive got to figure out.Same with Elway, who pledged to address his O-line this off-season after fixing his defence last year.Having been a quarterback, he knows that Im going to try to take care of him and that offensive line, Elway said of Manning. We always want to protect the quarterback. I think a change in scenery for those guys might help them also.Starters Orlando Franklin and Will Montgomery are free agents.If Manning retires, backup Brock Osweiler, who served a three-year apprenticeship under the five-time MVP, is ready to roll.Osweiler, who mopped up four games this season and threw his first career touchdown pass three weeks ago, said: I will approach this off-season the same exact way whether he comes back or doesnt come back.Brock has made that progress that you would hope he would make, Elway said. Whats difficult is he hasnt gotten a lot of playing time. When that time comes, well see where he is. (But) the training that hes gotten up to this point is second to none.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Detlef Schrempf Jersey .com) - Coming off a pair of tough losses last week, the Syracuse Orange will try to put an end to their first losing skid of the season when they pay a visit to the Maryland Terrapins at the Comcast Center on Monday night in Atlantic Coast Conference action. Doug McDermott Jersey . Louis Blues are reportedly taking restricted free agent forward Vladimir Sobotka to arbitration. http://www.authenticthunderauthority.com/gary-payton-thunder-jersey-c-11/ . -- Novak Djokovic benefited from an erroneous call and claimed he didnt realize he had broken the rules.Toronto Maple Leafs sniper Phil Kessel wont miss any time this regular season for slashing Buffalo tough guy John Scott. The NHL has suspended Kessel for the final three games of the exhibition season, but the winger will be available when Toronto opens its 2013-14 season against Montreal next Tuesday. As a result of being suspended for only pre-season games, Kessel will also not lose any of his salary. "Hes not going to be able to play anymore, so now hes going to really practice hard," coach Randy Carlyle said after Tuesday nights game against the Ottawa Senators. "So thats an advantage." Kessels clean record and the fact that Scott was not injured determined the suspension, according to NHL vice president of player safety Brendan Shanahan, though in the video announcing the suspension, Shanahan pointed to Kessels slashes against Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Luke Schenn in a previous game as prior evidence of similar behaviour. The incident came during Sundays ugly game between the Leafss and Sabres, longtime division rivals. Oklahoma City Thunder Jerseys. After Buffalos Corey Tropp was injured in a fight with Torontos Jamie Devane, Scott attempted to go after Kessel on the next shift. Kessel slashed Scott twice and gave him a spear and was ejected from the game. "While we acknowledged that Kessels initial motivation was self-defence, he persists and swings his stick again even having escaped the immediate threat from Scott," Shanahan said. The incident sparked a bench-clearing brawl, which resulted in Leafs right-winger David Clarkson being suspended for 10 regular-season games for leaving the bench and Buffalo coach Ron Rolston being fined for "player selection and team conduct." Asked if he thought Kessels three-game, pre-season suspension was fair, Carlyle implied he was done trying to determine such things. "I let the experts make those calls because Ive been fined before for my criticism of what happens at the league, and my wife told me to shut my mouth," he said.
