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.

Maybe I’m delusional or overly optimistic, but I haven’t been that disappointed in this season. I think anyone who thought we would be a playoff team after what happened is the one I would say was delusional.
To come on here and read such negativity with no regard to the reality of the situation, to me, is insane and uneducated.
A) Second year QB with second offensive coordinator
A1) No normal training camps
A2) Lose Franchise Player/Future HOF OLB for season-before season starts
B ) lose #1 WR before season starts
C) lose penciled-in starting RT due to opt out-before season starts
I have made it a point to watch EVERY game this season (paid for the NFL Ticket; gonna get my money’s worth). And do you know what I’ve seen?
Promise. Hope.
Our defense has played, for the most part, outstanding. And that’s without Von Miller, injuries on every level, Covid-19 influences. Tampa and Buffalo are the only real bad ones, and I felt like Lock’s bad game against Tampa made it look worse in the end. The Saints game was a joke, yet they still played very well. Anybody calling for Fangio’s head needs to get real. It’s almost miraculous what this defense has accomplished this far with all that has been against it.
Offensively, I’d like to see Shurmur do more to help Lock, but I felt like these last two games we were able to witness growth. I think it’s starting to click with Lock, and honestly, he is still young. We have at least two more years invested in him; let’s be patient and see what we’ve got. Give him a full season with Sutton, Jeudy, Hamler, and Patrick at WR and Fant at TE and we might see a big jump (sophomore jump for him would more likely happen in year 3 due to missing most of last season and 3 games this season).
The offensive line has improved tremendously, but add a 1st round RT, and the line may finally be fixed. Attack the defense in the rest of the draft/FA to provide depth, and with all these vaccines going out, maybe next offseason we will be back to “normal” and can start making better judgements on these players and coaches.
All I know, playoffs or not, I’ll still be watching these last two games and I’ll be rooting for them to win! Go Broncos!

i am willing to bet Patrick wont be here and will get a big contract not worth matching at all in FA
I’m secretly a Saints and Washington Football Team fan because of all of the Buckeyes on their rosters.
definitely been watching a ton of both and I’m hoping they can make some noise in the Offs

While I both agree and disagree with many posts in this thread I have to lean towards champ on this one. Jay really needs to learn how to manage the game better, and also to learn that you don't have to go for the big play EVERY time on every drive. There is something to be said to check the ball down and live to fight another day. -Great Post Cut the Excuses out please. sigh...
I find myself sort of rooting for the Browns. They’ve been such a dumpster fire for so long, I kind of like seeing them do well.
Well. I love to watch Chubb. That man is inspiring......and as much as I hate....yes, hate is a strong word......hate what Kareem has done in his past.....he is exciting to watch.
But, I'm rooting for the Bills as I wanted Allen at 5 when we had the chance.

I like the Bills, too. I wouldn’t mind if they win the SB. - after all thoseSB losses, it would be cool to see them win one.
As far as Allen, he’s definitely fun to watch and he’s developing into a very good QB. I personally don’t think the Broncos would have developed him as well as the Bills have.
