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 saw the thread you're speaking of, & that's honestly the stupidest thing I've heard from a Chargers fan. Like another commenter stated. What about Merriman?, Norv, The D? Rivers is the least of it. He's playing very good, in fact one of the very few playing fine for SD.
With that O-line going the way it has, Rivers may not come out healthy by the time the seasons over.
LO Neal on onside kick: "By not kicking that ball deep, you missed a big play on your special teams by Sproles, you took the ball out of Philip Rivers hands, which would have had a minute and something left, and also you took away an opportunity for Kaeding to redeem himself"
"It was times when we were getting so many penalties that I would look up and I was just like, "Is it not our time?" It was just one of those feelings."- Gates
He is an annoying bastard partially because of his mouth, but also partially because he is really good and USED to beat us regularly. He is really good, I think the Chargers need a new coach before all their talent gets wasted (not that I mind if all that talent gets wasted)
Kyle: Dude! I almost thought those Afghani kids talked you into not liking America. Stan: No, dude. America may have some problems, but it's our home. Our team. And if you don't wanna root for your team, then you should get the hell out of the stadium. Kyle: Yeah. Stan:<salutes the American flag> Go America. Kyle:<salutes> Go America...
Kyle: Go Broncos. Stan: Yeah, go Broncos. Cartman: Yeah.

Good win guys, it looks like the division is probably yours this year.
Philip Rivers has a bad reputation because of his feistiness, but it's mostly a bad rap. He doesn't even curse, but once you get a rep for something either good or bad, it's pretty hard to shake. Rodney harrison used to draw flags for making aggressive but clean hits, because he had the reputation as a cheap shotting head-hunter.
I'm beginning to agree that we may need a new coach, Norv is way to passive most of the time, and the team seems to have taken on that unfortunate personality trait. He's also a wimp at playcalling once we get close to the goal line. I don't discount his 3 playoff wins in 2 seasons with us, but that history won't do us any good if we can't even make the playoffs, and our slow starts are just killing us year after year.
Ron Rivera isn't impressing me either, he's got the reputation as some kind of defensive mastermind but I'm just not seeing it!
I think if there was ever a time to question rivers, it was when they sent Brees packing and rivers was breaking in as a new qb. I still think that SD would have won the SB if they would have kept Brees. Now though, all they have to work with is rivers, and any lesser qb would have had like 4 ints against our D last night. :salute!:

Well, in all fairness you guys are missing a NT, and are hurting for depth at LB.
Additionally, your D really only gave up 20 points. 20 points is not a bad outing for your D. When you remove the special teams scores it was a 4 point win for Denver.
It was a good game.

Thank you to my grandfather jetrazor for being a veteran of the armed forces!
yeah i dislike rivers too and think hes a good QB.those announcers last night said Rivers is as good as Peyton and Favre.LMAO.i smell man crush.but i have to put Tom Brady in the top 3 QB list.Orton is coming around though
I can't stand the guy. But he is easily the best player on that team. At this point, maybe the only one keeping their team afloat. Sproles is a good weapon, but it doesn't seem they are getting their running game going much this year. I love this win more than any other this year, but they always turn their game around towards the middle of the season. His O-line did very little to help him today. Good for us!
I don't ever take our division rivals lightly, no matter how poor they seem to be playing. Did you guys see what the Raiders did to Philly? When their D steps up, they are not that terrible and our rivals always seem to step up against us.
Now that we are leading the division, we should expect our rivals to play us even harder just as they always have.
I'm right there with you. I never take any of our division rivals for granted.
Rivals step up to rivals. Thats why its different than just any other game.
Raiders shocked me in that game. I thought I was in a nightmare.

Jaws was all over Rivers' man-stick in the beginning of the game, saying how good he was. After we sacked him five times and he fumbled two or three times, Jaws shut up real quick. It was great.
I don't like Rivers. He has a big mouth on him, but there's no denying his qualities.
Rivers is not the problem, and to me Norv is not the problem either. They simply allowed 2 touchdowns through special teams. Cover the kick and tackle the guy. Also, they could not keep their QB upright when it mattered the most. Tell the GM to look for OL help next year, I know Michael Oher was avaiable when they drafted Larry English.

You honestly think Norv isn't the problem? That teams been declining over the years when with expectations like that they should have won at least a Super Bowl by now. Imo Norv is the only problem they need to fix asap.

At least they have been constantly in the playoffs and even reached the AFC title game. Look at the Cowboys for example, a team with huge expectations that failed to even win 1 single playoff game. I think Norv is a good offensive mind, his team has a great offense that scored a lot of points. Special teams are also very good there, they just slipped against us Monday. The problem is there is their defense, it was great two years ago but they can't rush the passer anymore. I don't see how they would improve just by getting rid of Norv Turner. It's easier to focus on simply fixing the defense. A new coach could hurt the offensive rhythm and could still fail to improve that defense. Norv is not in total control there like Shanahan was in Denver, they have a GM that used to be pretty good and he needs to make better decisions with personnel.

Actually, no I don't think he's the problem. The problem is our futility on the line of scrimmage, and thats not his fault.

Oher wouldn't have done anything for us. We're fine at the tackle spot, its OG and C that were terrible at.
