Remember a few years ago when he collapsed on his way to the locker room at halftime when he was with the Texans? This is serious. His last episode was the result of exhaustion due to him overworking himself. I hope he hasn't done it to himself again.

Well, due in large part to the play calling, the Broncos, with an inexperienced QB, often found themselves in third and long. How much do you make?

Nope, nice try, you're the playcalling critic and you didn't answer the question. Try and remember how this ended every other time, you say he should zig when they actually did zig, then you say zag...sure enough, all kinds of zags.

How about throwing more often on first and second down? The run game was going nowhere. Play calling is just not that difficult and doesn't require an advanced degree.

You really think passing on every single first down would have accomplished that? Really? All that would have accomplished would be getting him sent to the hospital from literally being sacked to death. The offensive execution was the problem today, not the playcalling. It's not like we were slicing them up when we did pass but he didn't call enough pass plays. We were getting totally punked in both the passing and the running game. No playcalling would have changed that.

I think 33 times is about as often as you can ask for.

They had 44 or so passing plays (including sacks and penalties) and 33 of those pass plays were attempted on first or second down.

They passed a ton on first and second down, they just weren't effective.

You're right, it was Del Rio. In general, I don't like pulling a coordinator away from his duties. Pulling a positional coach creates less of a void. Wade is a great coordinator, but was always a pretty mediocre head coach. Studes filled in well when he replaced McD, and would make sense again IMO.

It isn't like he's been doing anything with the RBs the last few weeks.

*rimshot*

Seriously though, Booker shined today. When he recovered that fumble, he redeemed his earlier one. +-0 turnover differential for his career.

Edit: I'm being kinda jokey because I'm worried about Kubiak. I think he's been fantastic here with the culture he has instilled. Most games, his play calling is magic. I love his press conferences and his honesty. I hope he ate some bad green chili.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- After experiencing flu-like symptoms following Sunday’s game, Denver Broncos Head Coach Gary Kubiak underwent several precautionary tests at a local hospital. These included an MRI and CT scan, both of which came back normal.

Kubiak was diagnosed with a complex migraine condition that caused extreme fatigue and body weakness. He received medication and is feeling much better with an expected release from the hospital this afternoon.

I agree, though there's an Elway quote in here somewhere that says all the information they've gotten says that it shouldn't effect his ability to coach going forward. So there's that. I'm actually surprised more coaches don't suffer physical problems on the job - it's a long, constant, stressful job that would wear anyone out.

With a "complex migraine" symptoms can include weakness, loss of vision, or difficulty speaking in addition to a headache – often mimicking a stroke.
In the video below David Dodick, M.D., neurologist, Mayo Clinic in Arizona, explains the symptoms, triggers and treatment for complex migraines. A nationally recognized expert on headaches, Dr. Dodick is the president of the American Headache Society, Editor-in-Chief of Cephalalgia, Director and Founder of the Headache Program and Headache Fellowship Program at Mayo Clinic in Arizona. He is also the Medical Director of the Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Concussion Program.

rest - with video of the doctor speaking - http://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/complex-migraine

With this article stating that the symptoms of a complex migraine often mimicking a stroke, I would imagine that is why Kubes was taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

AND


Elway said Kubiak hadn’t been feeling well before Sunday’s game, and got very lethargic after the game ended.

According to the Broncos, Kubiak underwent precautionary tests while hospitalized, including a magnetic resonance imaging scan and computerized tomography (CT) scan. Both returned normal results, but he is expected to undergo further testing to determine the cause of the migraine and any potential triggers.

“(Doctors) thought the prognosis for him was very, very good,” said Elway, who visited Kubiak in hospital on Sunday and spoke with him against Monday. “He’s going to have this week off. He’s going to be back on Monday, but he’s going to take this week and take care of some of those issues and find out if there are some different triggers or what not. But when it comes down to Gary’s health, everyone’s excited about what the prognosis is.”

My medical knowledge is very limited but according to the link below about complex migraines they are :

"Migraines strong enough to cause arterial spasms can lead to stroke"

http://www.news-medical.net/news/20120516/Dangerous-complex-migraines-linked-to-high-risk-for-stroke.aspx

So if that's correct, then by all means take the whole week off!

Whether or not a "complex migraine" constitutes a stroke isn't my #1 concern right now, its confirmation that Kubes is doing it to himself again. Too much work and not enough rest is, according to my mom, going to kill him if he keeps doing this. She said that the best thing the Broncos could do is fire him in order to save his life. Unfortunately, if the Broncos did, we would be quickly hired by another team.

Bottom line, Kubes needs to make better choices when it comes to his physical health.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- After experiencing flu-like symptoms following Sunday’s game, Denver Broncos Head Coach Gary Kubiak underwent several precautionary tests at a local hospital. These included an MRI and CT scan, both of which came back normal.

Kubiak was diagnosed with a complex migraine condition that caused extreme fatigue and body weakness. He received medication and is feeling much better with an expected release from the hospital this afternoon.

"confirmed" Yes, it was confirmed what most everyone was speculating since news broke, it was confirmed that his condition was cause by exhaustion, just like before. According to your own post, whether or not it was a stroke, it was caused by exhaustion. That was the bottom line speculation as to why he fell ill, and it was confirmed that it was in deed that it was the cause.

"we should fire him to save his life" Yes, that is what my retired LPN mom said. My response to her, “if the Broncos did, he would be quickly hired by another team.” At the end, we agreed that, “Kubes needs to make better choices when it comes to his physical health.”

This conclusion is based on him going to the hospital for the 2nd time in 4 years for conditions that were caused by exhaustion. At least a half a dozen member have come to this same conclusion.

I have no idea what Kubiak's Dr told him.

Here's how I understand it, his transient stroke could have been triggered by this kind of migraine, the brain starts to spasm and it could lead to that. "It's plausible". But 99 times out of a 100 a stroke is a blood vessel.

It's far more likely that this migraine mimicked the symptoms of a stroke.

But here's the thing, however unlikely all these things are on the table, and with Kubiak's history There's a likelihood that whatever this was it isn't a one-off incident. I'm sure he's over-worked, I'm sure he's stressed, I'm sure he's lacking sleep, I'm sure his diet suffers. He's probably got high blood pressure. I'm sure it's plausible that this could lead to more migraines and even more than just a migraine, as if the migraine he just suffered wasn't reason enough to consider a lifestyle change.

Even if all these Dr's feel good about their diagnosis Kubiak and his family may have some decisions to make.

This is the best I could do trying to keep up with three nurses going through about 80 years of combined mental Rolodex.

Take it for what it's worth...or mock it. Who cares?

However, when understand that migraines are a symptom, not a cause, than you go on to look at what causes migraines. When you do, you find something on the list that Kubes has a track record of that still leads you to at least be concerned that he’s still doing the same thing that he did in Houston.

As far as him being fired, as I stated before, that was my mom’s opinion. You might call it an occupational hazard of those who are healthcare professionals.

It's impossible to make a differential diagnoses based on a few press clippings. I'm sure your mother is a very good nurse, but what she is doing is taking a wild ass guess as to what his issues are, the causes are, and what steps he needs to do to reduce his risk.

Also, while I think people have been throwing stroke around left and right in terms of what happened in Texas, as I recall it was a TIA. In the case of both TIA's and this complex or complicated migraine, they are diagnosed more by what they aren't, along with the symptoms, then what they are.

So, if he really did suffer from a severe migraine that had a stroke like symptoms on Sunday, it's very possible that what he suffered a few years ago in Texas was the same. In the same way that if he really suffered a TIA in Texas, you have to wonder if he really had another TIA this past Sunday.

Neither the migraine or TIA is going to show up on a MRI or CAT, because they don't actually damage the brain or leave any damage that lasts.

If they were migraine episodes, it's possible something other then stress and exhaustion is the trigger. Headaches, migraine and otherwise, often have triggers (scents, light, foods, stress, etc.) that initiate the episode. What's been reported is that they are doing some tests this week to see if they can identify triggers. Now, that could be complete horse pucky and a lie to throw the media off the scent, but if they really are trying to determine triggers, that "indicates" a belief that it really was a migraine and that they don't know what actually triggered/caused it.

All of that said, just to reiterate, that none of us, nor a nurse at home or doctor at home, reading a couple press clippings, can make a proper diagnoses as to what his health issues are and what they are caused by.
