Like what wwharton said we come here because it's not like other sports message boards. Ya there can be some opinionated banter but for the most part it's civil and if people get out of line there is swift action. Have you ever tried to look at espn comments or others? It's just dumb **** over and over.

So anyways the Broncos played a very good game. It was very irritating as a fan watching because the Chargers were trying so hard but they just couldn't keep up or stop them. But I'm very optimistic. We were very depleted. Especially on defense. We had some calls go against us that hurt. So only losing by 2 tds isn't that bad. Fully healthy I think we can run with them. Looking forward to the rematch.

Sent from my Galaxy s4 so deal with the short hand

Sorry, I have a thick skin and don't care much about that nonsense and I didn't see anything negative about the Broncos here, just the refereeing.

Maybe I missed something but really not a big deal that needs someone who "has the guts" to stand up to it.

There wasn't a single post that could be construed as negative towards Denver. That team is great why be overly sensitive?

As a Broncos fan, there was a time when I absolutely couldn't stand Rivers and his antics. He was a Charger, he owned the Broncos before Manning came to town, and he and Cutler had this 'rivalry' thing. I just didn't care for him. I have to say now that I have totally done a 180 on him. I love watching that guy play just because of the way he competes. To me, his antics have become entertaining and I appreciate where he's coming from because he's just a good guy having fun playing ball.

I'd take Rivers in a heartbeat to lead the Broncos....if Manning weren't around, that is.

I'll be honest, I never got Bronco fans hatred of Rivers, Cutler was 3 times the AHOLE Rivers was.

I do kinda miss that rivalry though, but that just may be because we could actually beat Denver then. It's not as fun losing to them every time now.

It's easy to develop an issue with a guy that has the flair that Rivers does when he is constantly beating your team.

You're dead on with Cutler. Every pick, sack-fumble, and loss that that guy endures now brings a smile to my face.
