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 think Denver pulls out the upset and this game propells Denver forward. Surprisingly, Denver is one of the best in the league against the run. I think they are 6th or 7th in rushing yards?? Forcing Cam to beat you with his arm historically hasn't worked out well for him. The team is getting healthier on both sides of the ball and hopefully ready to gain some steam
It's getting to the point that if the NFL wants to see the season through to its end, the games will have to continue with only those that are currently CovID positive staying away.
The title is a bit confusing, given the new covid cases. Appears the game is still on for tomorrow.
Should be:
"Pats game originally scheduled for the late afternoon window last Sunday (11th October); rescheduled to MNF (12th October); and again to the early afternoon window the following Sunday (18th October)."
"Pats game originally scheduled for the late afternoon window last Sunday (11th October); rescheduled to MNF (12th October); and again to the early afternoon window the following Sunday (18th October)."
If the game can't be played tomorrow, it should be awarded to us. I know it's not the Pats' fault, but there is only so many postponements that can be made without throwing the whole competition into disrepute. Several games have already been rescheduled due to the first two postponements of the fixture. It's manifestly unfair on the others affected teams to rejig their fixtures a second time.

I will not go that far myself, but at some point, teams who keep getting negative tests, causing delays/postponements, need to penalized. Fines are the usual route, but there should be an escalation plan of violations, clearly drawn up, so there's no confusion. Perhaps draft picks. But of course teams should not be penalized if an opponent caused any of the positive tests.
I do want to give full credit to The Broncs for their first win in Foxboro after 13 straight losses. With the injuries and the slow start, it was a big win. And ironically I believe the covid delays helped us in the end. Not saying it is why we won, but many here were concerned about the delays that seemed to favour The Pats. But we got Lock back, some of the boys healed, and Newton (and maybe other Pats) were out of sync. Not enough practice for some.
But such is life. Level playing field, given the rules as we understand them, even if some may feel we got a deal with the handling of the situation. Silver linings....
