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.

You're disregarding the point again. You just told me that only the plays they make at the final moments of the game matter not the entire game(you said you "dont care). Calling the defense 0-2 is disingenuous when they are being put into positions they shouldnt be(not to mention exhausted from an awful 3rd down conversion percentage). The bar is so low in denver as of late we dont just want a QB that can score, we want a QB that can even play to the league average. We have that and we'd pull together some wins. You act like calling a throw on 3rd and 5 is an auto win, its not. How many times have we had those types of downs and failed?
I never said it was an automatic win. If we make it, we are in a way bettter situation to win, and my point about the defense is true they have given up two game winning fg drives. I didnt say it was fair. I was stating a fact on how we have lost two games similar to this one.
Flacco said "what do we have to lose" and he is right, we should have been more aggressive. Flacco rarely speaks out the fact he did shows how conservative the play calling must have been.
I understand nothing I say will make you change your mind. Lets just hope when Lock is Qb and all we need is 5 yards for a first down were not still running the ball so we can run clock and punt.
Guy should be cut for his post game comments if not for his performance. Hasn't thrown a TD in 3 games and hass the gall to call out the coaches. Shouldn't even be allowed on the plane. Just cut him on the tarmac.
Haha going in on ol Flacco but I agree with you. We're not aggressive because you have no chance converting I mean we got one of the worst 3rd down percentages and with how he performed today I dont blame the coach. His hands is tied with Flacco's anemic skill set
Our offense put up 13 pts which is pathetic, the Chiefs put up that same amount at home vs the Colts ( they are a good team).
I never said I didn’t want a Qb who scored, that’s exactly what i want!
I also never asked for, traded for, or chose to start Flacco. This coaching staff is running him out there.
And regardless of who they go with I want us to go for a 3rd and 5 to seal the game, not run clock and hope our defense who is 0-2 on preventing go ahead fg drives.

Let me ask you, which would you rather have: A QB that puts together an all around solid performance all game long putting up enough points and long enough drives to keep the defense fresh or, a QB that stinks up the entire game except for the last 2 minutes and may or may not score a TD at that point in time?
I never said i was fine running it there, you're missing the point.

The coaches finally got some leadership out of Flacco (that's probably not fair to Flacco) by frustrating him with the playcalling
Who knows, maybe the coaches adjust. After all Flacco is right about that call. And by saying something like he does help his 'leadership factor'. Probably wont amount to a whole lot this season but it's something
Let’s just agree to disagree, your fine with running the ball and running clock and I want them to pass to attempt to put the game away
And no I don’t care what happen the entire game. Ive seen too many QBs put together game clinching drives In my life after Playing bad games. ( Remember I’m a bronco fan Elway/ Tebow both put up stinkers for 4 qrts and then sealed the deal.)
Brissett struggled all day today and pulled it out in the end.

Sorry but I saw the team put up a fight against a team that just beat Watson and Mahomes in consecutive weeks.
I’m happy with a lot of the players effort.
The coaches not playing to win is the only thing that I’m bummed about. We competed.
I’d rather lose throwing punches then trying to dodge punches and hope to make it out of the round.
The coaches playing NOT to win is the problem. We need to play to win the game is what we’re am supposed to do.
And to play NOT to play to LOSE is what usually happens.
And there lays the problem. What are his chances of completing the pass? 50/50 at the very best? 40/60 is more like it.
I’m fine with that. Our defense is 0 for 2 holding late leads this year, while Flacco is 2-2 on late 4th qrt drives.
I understand the point being made a out 3rd down conversions but we had horrible conversion rate vs the bears and still ended up converting in that game.
And like i said, it incomplete we punt and the D has to make a stop anyway.
It was a 3rd and 5 not 3rd and 15.
If the coaches want to keep Flacco as the starter then they need to let him attempt that play.
Agreed on all points. I would add that the best way to definitely determine one way or other whether Flacco was a drag on the team (as the majority believes), or the team a drag on Flacco (as some still claim); is by starting someone else at QB.
dont go off of what he has done late in games, go off of what he has done the ENTIRE game, it will give you a better picture of his quality.

Joe Flacco needs to be Benched. Joe is just another Case Keenum Kyle Orton 2.0. Joe is no more than a Back Up QB and to be honest I am not even sure of that Status. Once again just like last last year The Denver Broncos are a Team without a QB !!
I’m not living off of those plays. That’s all I can go on. What has he done late in games.
If our coaching staff wants to say Lock isn’t ready, and don’t want to bench Flacco for Allen.
Then they need to make Flacco make a play at the end of the game.
