Is it just me or does it take the NFL a little longer with every passing year to get the schedule published?
Wow. Someone in scheduling really doesn't want Denver to return to the playoffs..... That's a HORRIBLE schedule to put on a football team.
Your right Walker but it`s a rough schedule for a whole bunch of teams. There`s quite a few teams that have early bye wks and then a brutal 12-13 straight games and alot of road games to boot. Its going to come down to how many are left standing, how beat up they are and what they got left in the tank at end of this yr because there is going to be some major smash mouth football going on and I for one am excited to see how Denver weathers the storm and how competitive they will be vs the big boy teams. You just might see alot more 10-6 and 9-7 teams make playoffs this yr with 11-5 being possible best all around this yr I`am guessing. Can`t wait.
I wouldn't be surprised if Denver's schedule is rated to be in the top 5 toughest.
Well we already knew going into this season that this schedule was going to be tough. Then again we had like the 3rd toughest schedule in the NFL Peyton's first year and then it ended up being a cake walk so you just never know. We just can't account for the injuries and bad bounces that happen every year. Some key player will go down from some major playoff team and next thing you know they go from tough game to easy one. I mean look at last year with Seattle in they were relatively healthy most of the year. At least compared to all other playoff teams. I could see that reverse this year and next thing you know they are down 2-3 All-Pro players just like we were last year.
I agree with most on here that 11-5 would be pretty darn good for this schedule though. Won't have a better guess until after the Draft but right now that is about where I would have us.
