I’m leaning towards being thankful to the Patriots organization and players for being so bad at adulting in a post-covid19 world. I was pretty bummed to not have our game this week to watch and cheer about, but honestly I don’t think this kind of thing could happen at a better time.
Even though Vic Fangio is only giving Lock a 50 / 50 chance at playing, I am leaning towards that being coach gamesmanship more than anything.
What do the Broncos have to lose? If Lock’s shoulder is ready why shouldn’t we be trotting him back out there?
On one hand the New England defense is never a joke, but on the other hand if the ship is going down, you may as well get your young QB every bit of experience you can. I’m honestly curious on the pulse of this from all of you out there in Broncos Country. Hit up the poll and drop a comment to let me know your thoughts on to Lock or not to Lock this week.
