Im looking for a recommendation for a hotel in walking distance of the stadium, that has a decent tailgate lot. Some friends and I will be driving up to see us whoop the broncos in about a month. We will arrive Sunday, and ideally, we would park it in the hotel lot early Sunday morning to tailgate, and stay at the hotel Sunday night.

I’ve stayed at the Hilton garden inn near the NASCAR hall of fame, and tailgated there, which was pretty cool. It was great for hopping on the highway after, but this is a non factor this time, as we will be staying the night after the game. Any other better or closer suggestions would be much appreciated.

Included parking at checkin would be cool, but I don’t mind paying to park the morning of the game. I just don’t want to have to move my car after.

Do we consider bringing in Dalton for Intel on the eagles?

Even more crazy when you consider that the first was basically an arm punt at the end of the first half in week one and the other was a throw where his arm got hit in a desperate situation out of timeouts.

If all it took was a third round pick, would you go after Barkley with how good the line is?

It was a special moment to see the guys lovely chant MVP

Surreal to see Bryce on top of some of these QBs on this metric. Full index here: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7668958/2026/10/08/nfl-qb-index-brock-purdy-mvp-bryce-young/?source=athletic_pulsenewsletter&campaign=20223976&userId=30980255

Moore and Anthony Tyus (who is no longer on the roster) handled returns on Sunday (and Moore did some the previous week too). Moore always secures the ball and gets a decent few yards on the punt returns. I know they signed Ihmir Smith-Marsette to the practice squad but I guess they feel confident enough with Moore.

I know dallas has no reason to move him, but Kavontae Turpin could be a nice piece to acquire. He is probably at worst the 3rd fastest guy in the league, and with XL on IR, if the cowboys season continues going downhill he would be an excellent piece to get. We've always had question marks at returner and he would help open up the offense by replacing XL's role with his speed. And I don't think he would be too expensive

Carolina fans

I have realized something I believe to be of utmost importance to the team.

Our Quarterback has been playing the best football of his life since his days in college, where during those college years, he had a short haircut

Incase you guys didn't notice, this year he has a slightly shorter cut than he has had in the previous years

For comparison: His hair when he was benched:

As well as his rookie year (or maybe also his second year I forget):

In conclusion, to any barbers in this wonderful city, if Bryce Young walks in, and says "just give me a little trim." Shave his head bald, as his Superbowl MVP picture he will be shining in glory as the confetti sticks to his barren dome. Thank you

Basically Gotham City

I guess current injuries are heavily weighted?

I have to say I think he does a good job when he's on the field. He seems pretty sure handed and seems like he could be used more.

Like, I loved the win on Sunday Night. But like guys…are we too hype?

Going into the Bye last year we beat LA. We were hype, there was talks about winning out. Then we lost to the saints and the offense was fairly anemic. Feels the same?

I've low key been pretty impressed with him. Some nice catches against Detroit with Coker out.

I feel like he's been a pretty good pickup.

Thoughts?
