Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Looking ahead just for fun - 2014 Broncos schedule
2008 & 2011, Brady and Peyton missed those years. Otherwise, great rivalry. I don't think the NFL will see another one like it since Brees and Rodgers don't win their divisions consistently in the NFC. Wilson and Kaepernick have potential like Marino and Kelly because they are in the same division. Marino and Kelly played each other 21 times.
So, since Romeo Crennel left that vaunted D, Brady is 4-3 vs Peyton with 5 games at Foxboro (Peyton would have played 6 out of his last 8 vs NE in Foxboro after the 2014 game). Romeo Crennel sure knew a thing or two about limiting Peyton.
If the margin was 10-11 games at Manning's home, and 5 to Brady/NE, im sure the numbers would be a little different.
Brady is 7-2 at home vs Peyton and 3-2 on the road. Which translates to a 0.778 winning % at home and a 0.600 winning % on the road. If the home/away games were reversed and Brady had 9 road games and 5 home and we apply the same winning percentages, Brady would have a 4-1 home record and a 5-4 road record with an overall record of 9-5. However, using the same winning percentage for the road games is somewhat problematic due to small sample size. But even if we give the advantage to Peyton with 5-4 record at home, Brady would still have the better overall record at 8-6. Which would not be bad at all considering the amount of home games Peyton would have at home.
No, it is not. Just look at what you just pasted. Focus on the years 2012-2015, you will get my point
AFC East does not alternate, period, in any set of 2 years that the Broncos do not play the entire AFC East. That is my point and that is a fact with any division the AFC East plays.
I'm not quite clear on what you mean by no it's not. No it's not a formula? No it's not a glitch?
If you look at just the AFC East when the Broncos do not play the whole division.

2012 Away NE
2013 Away NE
2015 Home
2016 Home
2018 Away
2019 Away
2021 Home
If you look at just the AFC South when the Broncos do not play the whole division.
2011 Away TEN
2012 Home HOU
2014 Home IND
2015 Away
2017 Away
2018 Home
2020 Home

2014 Away
2016 Away
2017 Home
2019 Home

It's still a forumla. I'm not going to take the time to chart out other teams, but I'm willing to bet that the pattern is the same in other divisions, where it conveys the same or in a similar fashion.

Whats the number since 06?
2 games at home to in NE every other time, no?
If it was 2 for Brady, and the rest for Manning were home, im sure the results would be different.
Not like the games recently have been blowouts, pretty close games with NE just edging them out.

OK, to make it clear, all I wanted to say was the AFC East formula is also a formula technically but is different than the AFC North and AFC South formulae.
The AFC East formula has the impact of playing 2 consecutive years in the same venue when you don't play the entire AFC East. However, the AFC North and AFC South do not, they alternate home and away. Can you not see that from the above chart? Away, Away, Home, Home for AFC East while it is Away, Home or Home, Away for AFC North and AFC South for the 2 years that you don't play the entire division. Get it?
This results in Away, Away, Away or Home, Home, Home for Broncos vs AFC East teams when you include the 3rd year when you do play the AFC East in its entirety, that is my point. That is all that I am trying to make.

I understood to start with what you were saying, but I think it simply can come down to with a 4 team division concept, with the way that it is set up, that the formula/pattern/repeats itself. Could they have done it better? Maybe/Most likely,
I guess since the same pattern repeats on both home & away for the AFC east they feel that it is fair. It's not perfect but it might be the best that they can come with. At least with when a team plays another division that pattern is set up to a H/A/H/A set up so that the next time the West/South play the whole division the sites are switched.
I cannot wait for the Broncos/Seahawks game next year. Already started saving up money for my tickets, hopefully there will be as much orange and blue in the stands as there was for the preseason game this year.
