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.

the season isn't over yet but the entire division is a disappointment so far.
The Chiefs always struggle against Indi for some reason. This had trap game written all over it. I might actually win a lot of money this week because of it. The Broncos will get better. Nothing a team quarterbacked by Derek Carr does will ever surprise me. And the Chargers? You tell me, Baph. lol. I wouldn't put too much stock in the offense right now. Defense is concerning. Jags are better, but THAT much better? Goes to show so far that you can't buy a championship in the NFL like you can in baseball. I'm definitely not writing the Chargers off though. I still think they're going to eventually be really good both offensively and defensively. They definitely need to get Allen back, and Herbert goes without saying.

the chiefs are not good, man. they had a lot of help beating us, they should not have won that game either.
the raiders are bad, they have good receivers, and Crosby.....that's about it.
the broncos have a good chance to steal this division if I'm being honest. their issue is almost exclusively coaching and discipline.
the chargers are in an embarrassing state right now. yes, they are beat the hell up about as bad as they have ever been, but besides that, their running game is absolute trash, and offensive play calling is downright offensive.
I feel like they need to make an in-season change at offensive coordinator and until their OL gets healthy herbert shouldn't be playing.
you simply cannot expect the kid to put the team on his back when he's hurt like that with no running game to help take pressure off of him with a beat-up OL.
crap like this makes me want to find a donkey and punch him in the face........where's 58miller? (kidding)

I didn't watch their game, but I'm not crazy about the committee backfield thing they've been doing. I'd say lean on Ekeler a little more, because they have good depth. And Spiller will come along. He should hit his stride late in the season. Ekeler is such a threat as a receiver, you'd think he'd be on the field as much as possible. Plus, they have Horvath now. He adds another dimension to their offense with Ekeler on the field. Again, I didn't see the game, but you'd think there would be more of that with Allen out. At the same time, it's hard to not go heavy receiver sets when you're getting smashed.

AE is really a scat back, he's not an every-down type of guy and they are looking for someone to take the load off of him. that said, it's not working and when he's been in there he hasn't looked good.
I honestly think the main issue is the play calling and scheme. bring back norv turner to call plays!!!!!

Norv Turner was a fine coordinator, IMO. Emphasis on coordinator. But yeah, Ekeler has always been more of a 3rd down back than a 20+ touch guy, but he's always done well in the past with a higher workload. Sure, he gets hurt a lot, but that's why you draft a guy like Spiller. I expected Kelley to be a better power and short yardage runner than he has been so far. They guys they take Ekeler off the field for aren't exactly Chris Carson. They're not even AJ Dillon. Sony Michel is closer to what Ekeler is than that. It might be more of a playcalling thing, like you say though. You'd know better than I would.
