That’s not the same thing as their political platform. A horrible president can have a great platform, and vice versa. Many good Presidents have ignored their stated platforms, either willfully or because of circumstances.

Right.

LOL! First election?

Or maybe they would love to improve their lives but know that they have to get elected in order to even try to do so, hence the tendency towards centrism.

How is it wrong in any sense? What’s the problem here?

Magic, obviously.

The “content of these emails” appears to be a bunch of staffers discussing policy proposals during a campaign. What exactly are we supposed to be mad about? Please, I’m legitimately asking you, where is the smoking gun?

Wow. That’s... wow.

Harumph Harumph Harumph!

Of course even if there was he would just deny it.

If by “once hot” you mean “eeked out a couple close wins, low scoring wins against poor competition” then yes, they were “once hot”. They were shutout because they are a poor offensive team who had no faith in the $72 million dollar savior of a QB they just signed. Belichick saw them coming a mile away, and Thursday…

I haven’t seen anything damning yet. Mostly it seems like boring internal campaign stuff.

So did they actually make some or all of the proposals they were suggesting? Seems if they did they they overcame this fear of potential backlash (which was only actually expressed by one line in one email by one staffer).

So if you ignore the part where the Broncos succeeded by cheating and were caught then they almost won. If by winning you mean still having to convert a 2 point conversion, get the ball back, and then drive again to kick a FG just to tie the game.

They held them to 4.5 yards per play (4.2 yards per pass), and that was with a big influx of garbage time yardage, most of which was when the Chargers were happily trading time for yards. It took Denver 11 plays and 4 minutes to score from midfield in a hurry up offense.

Martyball 101. Run run run punt. Rinse repeat. They figured (correctly) that Denver couldn’t score fast enough to mount a successful comeback, and the only thing that could really give the game away was allowing Von Miller and that incredible defense to make a game changing play like a strip sack or INT. Better to…

I mean, they did invest a 1st round pick in Lynch, so maybe there’s some hope there? Though the early returns are not promising.

New England won their Thursday night game.

The Pats pitched a shutout on TNF. They were shutout at home on regular Sunday football.

Can’t advance a muffed punt.
