I think that is a very hard schedule... I dont know if would be too easy get 12-4

[Tony]

carolina and houston could cause some fits.

Maybe you crawled under a rock last season, if your calling the falcons a pushover you should start smoking weed and move into ricky's old house down here in FL. Nothing is easy when you have a QB that run's a 4.20 and a cannon for an arm will be a good matchup.Cincinnati is no longer a grantueed W on people schedule anymore they are tough, along with the tampa bay bucs they aren't exactly a push over either. Tennesse is still tough as well they lost some people, but really bulked up their D-line to compenstate for the lost of kearse. I'm looking for the broncos to be at least 10-6 anything below that I will be serevely disappointed.

You must be suffering from some form of retardatiion if you think that schedule is easy. You could very easily lose 4 games in the division let alone the whole season.

LOL - so could any1. kc have to come to denvers house for week 1 - they will get punked.

btw - tough schedule. the only poor teams in the NFL are san diego, giants (maybe) and maybe the cards.

According to Sporting news the Broncos have the second easiest schedule!

Re: Broncos Weak Schedule?

Sep.12 KANSAS CITY (Tough)
Sep.19 at Jacksonville (Better team than last year, could be tough)
Sep.26 SAN DIEGO (Hopefully easy)
Oct. 3 at Tampa Bay (Better team than last year, will be tough)
Oct.10 CAROLINA (NFC Champs, tough)
Oct.17 at Oakland (Better team than last year, could be tough)
Oct.25 at Cincinnati (A team on the rise, will be tough)
Oct.31 ATLANTA (Better team than last year, could be tough)
Nov. 7 HOUSTON (Better team than last year, could be tough)
Nov.21 at New Orleans (Always hard to predict, generally tough)
Nov.28 OAKLAND (Better team than last year, could be tough)
Dec. 5 at San Diego (Hopefully easy)
Dec.12 MIAMI (No Williams) (But a good defense, still tough)
Dec.19 at Kansas City (Tough)
Dec.25 at Tennessee (Very tough)
Jan. 2 INDIANAPOLIS (Very tough)

I don't see how that's an easy schedule. If our team jells, sure we could have a great season. But I think San Diego is the only team that should be easy, and they're a division opponent and can always surprise the unwary division opponent.

I actually think The schedule is tough. Playing the entire NFC south may really suck. 2 teams have played in the last 2 super bowls (TB, CAR), Atlanta's got VICK ('nuff said) and the saints are DUE...


The Miami game just got easier (w/ Williams gone).

The Texans and Colts should be tough.

I hope people don't take OAKLAND lightly (w/ SHANAHAN, at least we wont!).

All the other teams We should handle soundly.

I really see a 12-4 record for us, and hosting BALTIMORE in the AFC championship game. (barring injuries or a certain drug trial)

I thought that it was a pretty tough schedule when I first saw it too. Vick and the falcons aren't gonna be fun, but I'm looking foward to some of the games this year, like Carolina and Miami, both will be strong defensive matchups, and New Orlenas will be interesting too, strong O versus strong D, but we'll roll over their defense. Titans are no push overs either... And of course that's not even saying anything about the two teams that don't sign players to win championships, but sign players to try and beat the Broncos

12-4 is optimistic, and I hope it happens. I'm pretty sure we'll make the playoffs though, and that's all I need...we did win our first Super Bowl last time by being the wild card team...

Keeping in mind that this is based on LAST year's records, here is NFL's strength of schedule:

Fantasy Football Index

SCHEDULETRON -- WINNING PERCENTAGE
Strength of schedule for the 2004 season, based on the combined wins and losses for each team’s opponents. Numbers are based on how teams played last year. Dallas and Philadelphia project to play the easiest schedules; the Cardinals and Dolphins project to play the hardest. W L Pct.
120 136 .469 Dallas
121 135 .473 Philadelphia
122 134 .477 Pittsburgh
123 133 .480 NY Giants
124 132 .484 Cleveland
124 132 .484 Tampa Bay
124 132 .484 Tennessee
125 131 .488 Atlanta
125 131 .488 Denver
125 131 .488 Kansas City
126 130 .492 Carolina
126 130 .492 Detroit
126 130 .492 Washington
127 129 .496 Chicago
127 129 .496 Minnesota
129 127 .504 New Orleans
130 126 .508 Baltimore

131 125 .512 NY Jets
131 125 .512 Oakland
131 125 .512 San Francisco
131 125 .512 St. Louis
132 124 .516 Jacksonville
132 124 .516 Seattle
134 122 .523 Arizona
136 120 .531 Miami

Again, last year's records mean very little. Many of the teams we play with bad records last year are going to much tougher this year, in my opinion.

Re: Re: Broncos Weak Schedule?

TB better than last year? They dont have Lynch, Sapp, and lost Darrell Jackson Super Bowl MVP 2 years ago? Better than last year? whatta does everyone else think?

[twotone]

TB is gonna suck this year, just like last. They weren't good last year and signed a boat load of players. They're either gonna be young guys playing, or new guys, and it will take them awhile to click...

I'm not alone in that assessment. Here's one:

Wise spending makes Tampa Bay the champion of the offseason

[bronx_2003]

u dont honestly believe this is an easy schedule do you?
