LOL Of course not! You've already got your mind made up about something that even people who closely follow the team have no idea what to expect. Whole new coaching staff, new offensive and defensive schemes, and significant personnel turnover. Go ahead and pencil in a W for Baltimore at Denver before a single preseason game has been played. Oh wait ... you've already done that!

Well, the obvious elephant in the room is how much of the Manning decline is an injury, and how much is age. If 2nd half 2014 Manning is really all they are getting, then yeah, there's some big red flags all of the sudden. I am personally skeptical of that, but I have a tough time believing they'll be worse than 9-7 barring injury. I generally like to wait until some preseason is in to sift out injuries, but in a vacuum, this my guess.

Ravens: W
@ KC (TNF) L
@ DET (SNF) W
Minny W
@ OAK W
@ Browns W
Packers (SNF) L
@ Indy L
KC W
@ CHI W
Pats (SNF) L
@ SD W
Oak W
@ Steelers L
Bengals (MNF) W
SD W

I got 11-5 (5-1; 8-4)

LOT of questions to be answered though when it comes to Denver. We will see.

 

[Wamu]

16-0

 

[DJ]

10-6, maybe 11-5.

The Broncos toughest game of the year is week 6.

Green Bay win

Not seeing the GB win... Ravens game is a coin toss imo at chargers not seein that either..I don't see them beating them twice especially with what I think will be a new running game with Melvin Gordon.

What am I missing with SD? not sure why thats two wins for Denver?

 

[Rex Racer]

Well, the Broncos drew the AFC North so that is 4 easy wins right there. Add in at least 5 wins in 6 games against their own division and they are already at 9 wins. Chicago and Minny are most likely wins and Detroit is a toss up.

Green Bay and NE will beat them easily so I have them with a minimum of 11 wins, possible 12.

Well, the obvious elephant in the room is how much of the Manning decline is an injury, and how much is age.

Maybe, but I actually feel more confident that Manning, even at his advanced age, is capable of staying healthy enough to do his part than I do about some other issues. For example, how well will our offensive line, which could feature up to four guys who have never started an NFL game, play? How effective will our inexperienced NTs play as we transition from a 4-3 to a 3-4 base defense?

Chargers are nothing special. At best they're an 8-8 team.

As for not seeing the Green Bay win, Green Bay is nothing special away from Green Bay. They went 4-4 on the road and could have easily been 3-5 as they barely beat the Dolphins

Not sure why ur butthurt but ok.

I penciled in the Baltimore loss bc I think Baltimore is better. It's bc of all those things plus how Peyton looked in the playoffs that I feel they are at 8-8.

What do u think they finish at?

What am I missing with SD? not sure why thats two wins for Denver?

Lot of things really.

• Depth is going to be an issue in the 2nd half for SD, imo
• Gordon vs one of the top Run D's the past several years? Sell, he's not AP, JC, or Beast Mode.
• I think Denver's strengths on defense match up frighteningly well with SD
• SD's D just isn't good enough to stop them be it Anderson or the passing attack
• Sell, sell, sell on the Chargers hype, but that's just me.

That's fair.

 

[bksballer89]

Green Bay and New England will beat Denver in Denver easily? Wow that's funny.

I actually give New England a better shot because they're actually a good football team.

I honestly have to ask, who the heck is your NT this year? I can't seem to figure it out from a mile away.

Like I posted above, neither I nor anyone can reasonably know what to expect, since Denver will be a very different team from the team its been the past three years. Whole new coaching staff, entirely different offensive and defensive schemes, and significant personnel changes. What you call "butt hurt", in my opinion, is simply attention to relevant facts. LOL
