About halfway down the page, which includes a table.
Apparently Denver has the 2nd hardest schedule this year vs run Ds. Although we have the fortune of playing the 25th hardest pass Ds on avg.
Bodes well for Jake, and poorly for Mike Bell, dear fantasy fans.

Denver can run on any team (Except Ravens), This bodes well for the Broncos and Plummer. I'm liking this more and more!!!!

The pass will open up the run. Same goes for the contrary. If you can successfully do one, the other will succeed.
We ALWAYS run the football. Not the least bit worried.

That's really worthless because it's based on last year...but we aren't playing a year ago...we're playing in 2006

We also have the toughest schedule overall, based on opponent DVOA.

True, but I take pride in knowing that Broncos fans won't use that as an excuse or whine about how far away our road games are like the Chargers did last year. All those excuses and the lame "best team to miss the playoffs" tag got REALLY old. What did they expect? Schottenheimer is their coach...he crushed expectations for Cleveland and KC when coached in those cities, too. Just far enough to expect more...never made it to the big game.

How can we have the 2nd hardest when we play KC twice and Oakland twice?

And once again we have a chance to knock off both the teams that played in the SB last year. Lets go 5 and 0 against them in 2 years.

Your math is a little off there bud.
2 years = 4 potential teams.
3 years = 6 potential teams.
If we have played 5 of the last 6 Superbowl champs (or will play counting this year), then it would have been over 3 years, not two.

Um, alec we played the Defending champion NE patriots TWICE last year ;D
That means we would have played the last Four SB teams 5 times in two years minimum.

Doh, playoffs dont count.
DIdnt we play both SUperbowl participants the year before that too?
Seems like every year we have to play the bastards that go to the Superbowl the previous year.

We beat Philly last year once. We beat NE last year in the Reg season. We then beat NE again in the playoffs.
This year we play Seattle and Pitts. If we beat both of them, we will be 5-0 in the last 2 years against SB teams.

We do and I read somewhere our record against former SB teams is actually quite good.
