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.

Its funny but its no coincidence that when you are watching a really good game and enjoying it there are very few flags thrown and the refs are letting them play, the game flows better and teams have to truly earn yards and points by making plays rather then getting bail out calls.
I liked the fact that Brady tweeted out the other week that he was turning the TNF game off as it was unwatchable with all the flags thrown, that is how fans feel a lot of the time.
To me it is simple and always has been, ONLY throw a flag if it is a blatant and clear foul. Too often there are ticky tack flags and the refs are told to throw them if there is ANY contact. IMO that is completely wrong, if it is close then don't throw it and let the game flow. I think fans would enjoy the games far more if this was the case.
I have never understood how the NFL don't see that all the rules and flags they bring into the game are only harming it as a spectacle, I know people over here in the UK who enjoy the sport but have been turned off by the numerous rules and flags, its just not something we get with our sport over here, the game flows properly whether its football, cricket, rugby, etc.......... and refs don't decide games.
I could be wrong but it doesn’t seem like QB injuries are related to flags they throw to supposedly prevent injuries. They throw a lot of flags but we still see quarterbacks injured.
The holding/non-holding calls on the offensive line or PI are just ridiculous. No consistency whatsoever.
The Pats are always a good team. But this year they're not as good as stats say imho. Their record is so easy. Come playoffs they'll be challenged
Hope you're right. Just that they seem to adapt better than everyone else. O is off, D steps up. Run game is so so, pass game works. Brady sucks, they find other ways to win.....I've been through this plot too many times.
It bothers me that 31 other teams have not found many ways to beat them, other than our Broncos of course!
Ravens and Washington on local network. It’s ridiculous, although not a surprise to see Washington stick with Keenum instead of Haskins. They spent what, the #15 pick on Haskins? It’s a poor decision to not evaluate Haskins. They had 11 games going into today and should be seeing what they have to work with.
