Thursday May 11.

Schefty highlights some changes this year:



Who do you want the Broncos to face in the season opener??

 

[Orange Crush77]

Thursday night games are an abomination

I'm expecting Jets KC and Raider games on PrimeTime. We'll get an idea tomorrow when leaks start.

Broncos @ Chiefs to open up. It won't happen but that's what I want.

I have been calling this for awhile now. When will it ever happen?

[MileHigh64]

Packers schedule leak has them playing at Denver in week 7.

 

[Mountain Bronco]

Vikings schedule leak has Vikings playing a Sunday night game in Denver week 11. Odd Sunday night football matchup on paper.

Seems like we open against the Raiders a lot over the years. First two games at home should be winnable. Three game road trip in weeks 13-15 could be challenging. I'm surprised that we have 3 prime time games, after last year's debacle. At Foxboro on Christmas Eve is pretty much a 4th prime time game.

Also very happy with a week 9 bye week!

 

[Duffman]

The last several years we’ve played the Chiefs late so I’m not sure how I feel about us playing them early this year.

Also biggest thing I hate is playing the Chiefs on a short week, I know they have a short week too but still I don’t like having such a short time to plan.

I have discovered I just hate playing the Chiefs no matter what. Short week, long week, September, December, night, day, early, drunk... Whatever it is.

I just want to beat them one stinkin time before we hit 10 years.

 

[LGM]

We play Chiefs games within 17 days of each other and the Bills in between?

NFL folks are some assholes.

We play the Bills after the bye, we play GB in between.

I saw this and the first thing I thought of when I saw we play the Chiefs twice in three weeks, is maybe we can rough them up with some high ankle sprains the first game to make the second game more fun,

I actually like this schedule. I was hoping for @ Chiefs in week 1 because that's sort of an "anything can happen" type of week, but putting such a lousy team against the defending champs that week doesn't make for good ratings so I didn't actually expect it.

I'm glad the schedule makers FINALLY discovered there are other months in the season besides December for scheduling Broncos @ Chiefs. I can only imagine that was a discovery on the level of Columbus "discovering" the America. Of course they went and partially offset their exciting new findings by putting Broncos @ Chiefs on a Thursday, where home teams have profound advantage. With that said, this game wouldn't have been one any of us pencilled in for a win anyway.

Honestly as bad as the Broncos were last year I have a hard time identifying any of these games as a win. If it weren't for the VAST improvement we saw out of the offense the last 2 games of the season I would probably write off this season as another 10+ loss season. But we saw what the team could do when actually led by a professional coach, so I do have some hope. I think 8 to 10 wins is doable but in May I do tend to be more optimistic.

I still want to see more from Russell Wilson. I want more proof that last year's historic bad offense was that clown we had masquerading as an NFL coach and not Wilson. I also have some concern about the front end of the defense and the selection we've made at DC. I feel like we had a very good defense last year and expect a significant drop off this year. But the league has determined defense is no longer relevant to their vision for the future of the game so having the defense drop off may not be that bad if the offense brings itself to current NFL standards.

I haven't done a game by game W-L prediction in years so maybe I'll follow up with one today. I know that you fools are now all waiting with baited breath.

I have always wanted the Chiefs week 1 just for something different but not really this year... I don't want the spotlight of playing them the first game which you knew there was ZERO chance they were going to make Broncos/Chiefs the Thursday night opener after the last 7 years we have had but also because I want to play the Chiefs when we have a little more time with Payton around.
