Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

The two bombs weren't exactly anomalous as you seem to think, seeing as they resulted from two conditions that have been constant all season: bad defensive play-calling and poor safety play in coverage. Sorry, but dismissing those two big plays to try and dismiss the fact that the defense isn't very good just doesn't hold water.
That's a valid argument.
I suppose I look at the 95% of the game where we played very well, and that seems like a vast improvement from the beginning of the season where the defense played well maybe 40% of the time at best.
Obviously, we have to stop the big plays. Hopefully, that is coming, but I do see marked improvement from Game 1.
And as for the Green Bay averages 65 yards rushing coming in argument, that's a very valid counterargument as well. And a very tough one to rebut, however, I suppose the best answer is that this was the first game they've used Ryan Grant, and we have to see if he's as good as he looked against us in the next few games against other foes. Obviously, if he rushes for 100+ yards each game, our effort looks much better. Is that likely? We'll see.
