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.

I agree. As a whole (and I'm not just talking about Bronco games), the officiating this year has got to be the worst I've ever seen in the NFL my whole life.
The calls, and non-calls they make are just ridiculous, and always seem to be one-sided. Sometimes I really consider putting on a tin hat, and start making comparisons to that Donnehy (spelling?) guy from the NBA a few years back...
Roger Goodell's got the refs no knowing what they're doing anymore
I only saw some highlights and I do think we did get alittle homered. Our players did not perform to their fullest potential but when the black and whites dont do their job, it does not help our momentum..I support my team and hope to get a job with them when I can retire in Ohio and finally move to my dream state.
Would sending in some of these things to someone in the NFL media do anything positive?
I'd recommend doing it if it's getting very bad
I get the feeling Fox does send stuff in each week - and maybe it's backfiring. He's been animated in interviews about it although not crossing certain lines
Remember his challenge on Tebow's run for a 1st down on the spot? He tossed it right over the ref's head with attitude. He lost the challenge and I think Fox himself has been frustrated with the refs and that red flag toss was some venting - obviously he was emotional about throwing that flag otherwise he'd have waited to make sure
I think the game is way to officiated now, I would prefer they just let them play except blatant calls, but anways, things need to at least be consistent.
Maybe Fox has irritated the officials and so they were out to mess with him.
When he challenged the spot on the field I figure no way they are going to over turn their own spot.
There was a major hands to the face of Dumervil by a Bills' lineman with a referee looking right at it which also wasn't called.
Why is it okay for a team to tackle our receivers before the ball gets to them, yet, we get called for illegal contact within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage?
I don't mind if they miss a few calls, but it seems like, recently, all those calls have gone against us and the other team does the same things and nothing gets called.
