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.

Dec. '10....Most of my '10 Springtime predictions came true regarding the Chargers. Now I get to gloat.
In Sept. on Yahoo I argued with a bunch of Chargers fans and predicted that the Chargers would not win the division in '10 and not make the playoffs. I was right again. However I will admit I didn't see the Broncos collapse and rise of the Cheifs.
But now I can add some tidbits of how overrated and pathetic the Chargers are...
1. How can a team be in the top-5 in offense and defense and not make the playoffs? Only the Chargers can be ranked that high and figure out how to miss the playoffs--PATHETIC!
2. Chargers have been picked over and over and over all year long to win the AFC-West and go on the same win streak they did last year. Last years' team and this years' Chargers are vastly different. Many players of the '06-'09 teams are gone. How these pundits can think a team with different players will play the same as previous years' players is absurd. I hope the media will now finally get off the Chargers bandwagon. The Chargers have some talent, but don't know how to win when it counts--PATHETIC!
3. How can the Chargers beat the Colts, then lose to the Raiders twice and lose to the Bengals?!! PATHETIC!
4. How can a top-5 ranked O and D team lose so many games on the road--PATHETIC!
5. And for A.J.---This guy never ceases to amaze me with how childish and insulting he is with his own players. He's pretty cheap too...doesn't want to pay for talent, so when a couple key Chargers hold out for more money, he gets his petty revenge by screwing with their contracts. Those players will soon be gone, just like the other good ex-Chargers prospering with other
teams--PATHETIC!
The Chargers will never win a Super Bowl as long as AJ is their GM.
4-11 bro....soon to be 4-12.
How does a coach that managed to bring the only moments of glory to a franchise lose his job when the owner said it was his job for as long as he wanted it. Then hire a 37 year old "offensive genious" and then turn their back on hi after less then 2 years?
And you laugh at us?? Thank you Pat for dooming the Broncos for the next few years to the cellar.

what about your prediction that the donks would have their worst season in over 30 years?
The San Diego Chargers through out their history have shown they can't win playoff games--even when they're favored. In the last 4 years prognosticators like Chris Berman on ESPN and many others pick the Chargers to win a SB, but the Chargers can never play to their potential. The Chargers have talent, but their recent playoff loss to the Jets and their '06 playoff loss are perfect examples of their lack of focus, lack of leadership and inability to be smart on and off the field. A smart athlete doesn't stay out late partying the night before a playoff game, which is what several Chargers seem to like doing and a smart athlete doesn't get called for PF flags during a playoff game.
With LT gone and possibly Sproles gone the Chargers will have no running game. If an injury happens to Rivers, the Chargers' offense is done. Rivers the last few years has been lucky that he's had no injuries to reduce his productivity. I believe his injury-free seasons will soon come to an end. In the NFL, every starter usually has to contend with an injury every few seasons and miss games....Rivers is due. The Chargers as a team are getting old. Injuries will become more frequent...this "talented" Charger team is running out of time.
The Chargers had a mediocre defense last year and were mediocre against the pass--against the run the Chargers ranked 20th. Cro may be on the way out and Merriman has no talent left, only worthless trash-talking.
With their inability to win in the playoffs in recent years, the Chargers as a team are also losing confidence in themselves. Against the Jets, the Charger offense sputtered and had to rely on field-goal attempts. Then Kaeding (an excellent kicker) choked on all his kicks. All examples of a Charger team succumbing to playoff pressure and lack of confidence. The Colts, a supremely talented and confident team, who knows how to win in the playoffs....destroyed the Jets in the 2nd half of their playoff game.
Jackson can't seem to stay out of trouble and other Chargers keep getting in bar-fights and/or brought up on assault charges. All this is the mark on an undiciplined, out-of-control team. It seems San Diego's NFL team is correctly named.....Chargers = charges.
Norv Turner is just a "yes-man" to AJ and has no real power. Turner is the classic docile, "yes-man" coach---he was a "yes-man" to Al Davis and a "yes-man" in Washington. His only years of success were as an OC in Dallas, but a trained monkey could've been a successful OC in Dallas in the '90s, with all the HOF talent the Cowboys had at that time. Before Turner.....Marty had balls and wouldn't blindly go with what AJ wanted....so AJ (the control-freak) fires a fine coach who rebuilt a horrible Charger team into a 14-2 contender. The stupidity of Charger mgmt is beyond description.
AJ has current and former players who hate the way he runs the team and don't like his decisions. Rodney Harrison has gone on record and severely criticised AJ and other players have voiced negative viewpoints about AJ. This is why Eli Manning isn't your QB. AJ's mocking of LT in the media last year is a perfect example of his unprofessionalism.
The Chargers stadium has problems selling-out, because fans are tired of the inconsistency and playoff losses.
The Chargers had 4 seasons with a talented team to get to a SB and failed all four years. Two of those years they finished their seasons with epic playoff chokes.
The Chargers can be summed up with this sentence.....An overrated team with no heart and a team who's recent years of success will be ending, because of injuries and free-agency.
Slam Dunk...windows shut!

You sound happy to have Norv back for another season...congrats

Its going to be hard to sign all these guys:
Legedu Naane
Randy McMichael
Jeromey Clary
Jacques Cesaire
Antwan Applewhite
Kevin Burnett
Eric Weddle
Darren Sproles
Vincent Jackson
Stephen Cooper
Brandon Siler
Paul Oliver
Malcom Floyd
Then next year you have Garay Crayton Hardwick and Scrifes all as FA that have been important to your team.
I know many that I listed arent all that important to the Chargers but they are vital, especially with how badly youve needed them for depth this year. Your GM will have to unclench his wallet if he wants to keep his team in tact.
