Post here.

1 Sun. Sept. 9 at Buffalo Ralph Wilson Stadium 1 p.m. EDT CBS

Well... I would have rather gone somewhere else but its good to get one of these emotional EAST COAST game out of the way early. Plus it will be nice not having to go to Buffalo in December.

2 Sun. Sept. 16 OAKLAND INVESCO Field at Mile High 2:15 p.m. MDT CBS

Get a crack at Oakland nice and early.

3 Sun. Sept. 23 JACKSONVILLE INVESCO Field at Mile High 2:05 p.m. EDT CBS

Could have playoff implications here. We should be 3-0 by this point in the season.

4 Sun. Sept. 30 at Indianapolis RCA Dome 4:15 p.m. EDT CBS

The road starts getting rocky. Peyton vs. Cutler, round 1. Have to consider this a loss as of right now but Travis Henry, Bill Bates and Jay Cutler could have a huge impact on this outcome. 3-1

5 Sun. Oct. 7 SAN DIEGO INVESCO Field at Mile High 2:15 p.m. MDT CBS

New coaching staff, on the road against Denver where SD usually never plays well. I'll give us the heads up. 4-1

6 BYE (I would rather not have a bye here, but after SD and Indy... might not be bad.)

7 Sun. Oct. 21 PITTSBURGH INVESCO Field at Mile High 6:15 p.m. MDT NBC

Another tough game against an AFC Power. The team will be down a little bit with the loss of both of its leaders from the Super Bowl Championship team two years ago. 5-1

8 Mon. Oct. 29 GREEN BAY INVESCO Field at Mile High 6:30 p.m. MST ESPN

One last time to watch Favre. Bailey and Bly should give him fits. 6-1

9 Sun. Nov. 4 at Detroit Ford Field 1 p.m. EST CBS

Bly's return. 7-1

10 Sun. Nov. 11 at Kansas City Arrowhead Stadium 12 p.m. CST CBS

A little earlier this year but its still KC. 7-2

11 Mon. Nov. 19 TENNESSEE INVESCO Field at Mile High 6:30 p.m. MST ESPN

Travis Henry's revenge. Vince Young is an x-factor similar to Vick a couple years ago on Halloween... doesn't have the same weapons around him though. 8-2

12 Sun. Nov. 25 at Chicago Soldier Field 12 p.m. CST CBS ^

This will be a huge game. I'll give it to the Bears because we will be on the road but I think we match up very well against the Bears across the board. 8-3

13 Sun. Dec. 2 at Oakland McAfee Coliseum 1:05 p.m. PST CBS ^

Round 2 with Oakland. They are going to be bad again this year. 9-3

14 Sun. Dec. 9 KANSAS CITY INVESCO Field at Mile High 2:15 p.m. MST CBS ^

This is the first time we have played them second in the season since the 2004 Clinton Portis game when he went crazy for 5 TD's. 10-3

15 Thu. Dec. 13 at Houston Reliant Stadium 7:15 p.m. MST NFLN

It will be a spirited game but Houston still doesn't have enough talent. 11-3

16 Mon. Dec. 24 at San Diego Qualcomm Stadium 5 p.m. PST ESPN

Will this team break by this point like they did two seasons ago when Denver finished the season beating them in SD? I don't think so. I'll give them this game. 11-4

17 Sun. Dec. 30 MINNESOTA INVESCO Field at Mile High 2:15 p.m. MST FOX ^

Tough to say what the meaning of this game will be. ON paper though, Denver should slice this team up. 12-4.

[KCbroncos]

I don't mind this schedule. Looking at the flip side, only 1 hard road game (@Indy) in the first 8 games. By the 2nd half, Oakland, Houston, and the Vikings will be out of it, so those should all be easy.

Best birthday present I could ask for is a W @ SD on xmas eve.

[Sassy]

Do we really need five threads on the schedule ??

[bpc]

The schedule isn't bad IMO but 6 of 9 on the road to end the season is just stupid. The NFL always pulls this zaney crap with our schedule.

[TailgateNut]

At least the Christmas Eve game is out of town. Having a home game on Christmas eve sucks ass!

[Sassy]

So much for Diego in December again...I can't do a Christmas game.

[dbfan21]

BPC,

I agree. I think 12-4 is very realistic. If we come out of this schedule 11-5 or better, it will be a good season (considering it will be Cutler's first full season).

My buddy (a Packer fan) and I will be flying in from FL to attend the Green Bay game on Monday night. It should be amazing!!

Go Broncos!!

[defenseman]

At least the Christmas Eve game is out of town. Having a home game on Christmas eve sucks ass!

I would agree with you on that one..dman

*Santa will have difficulty negotiating the presents to be distributed when he's half in the bag, smelling like hot chocolate and schnapps, just done battling the traffic home from invesco.

[cutthemdown]

It looks like Broncos are going to be plastered all over prime time baby!!!! It's harder to play those games but for Denver I think they need to start going off more when nation watches. They seem to fall flat sometimes which leads IMO to not being ready for big time games. I think all these tough games vs teams like Indy/Chi who won superbowl and NFC are great. To be the best you have to beat the best. Let's get it on baby!!!!!!!!!!

quick guess after a glance but honestly anywhere from 11-5 to 13-3 is possible

[CBF1]

3 Monday night football games !!!

[TailgateNut]

*Santa will have difficulty negotiating the presents to be distributed when he's half in the bag, smelling like hot chocolate and schnapps, just done battling the traffic home from invesco.

It's having to prep for a tailgater a day before, spending the whole day and evening at the stadium and then dealing with the "mess" after the game which makes it so difficult.

BTW: Snaps is not consumed at "my pad". Scotch and maybe some hot buttered rum on the cold days!;D

[Turf Shaman]

By the 2nd half, Oakland, Houston, and the Vikings will be out of it, so those should all be easy.

Way too early to tell who will be out of it (except for Oakland of course). Every year there's a surprise team that figures out how to win and makes the playoffs. New Orleans and the Jets last year for example.

[CBF1]

Christmas eve in San Diego is doable :)

Looks like we will have a pretty small group this year.

[bpc]

1 Sun. Sept. 9 at Buffalo L(we always lose opening week)

17 Sun. Dec. 30 MINNESOTA W

Funny statement however i understand what you are saying. Early in the Shanahan years we were known a team that jumped out the gates, nobody wanted us on opening weekend even with Griese at the helm. It only changed when Mistake Jake would play poorly out the gate because he couldn't keep his emotions in check throwing picks all over the place.

I find it highly improbable that we lose week 1 against Buffalo even on the road. They have lost so much in terms of offense and defense this offseason, we should be able to take it to them by running the football effectively and exposing their pass defense.

[Dukes]

So 3 monday night games and how many Sunday night games?

[Garcia Bronco]

3 Monday night football games !!!

5 prime time games...plus any flex games

[Garcia Bronco]

So 3 monday night games and how many Sunday night games?

3 MNF
1 SNF
1 Thursday

[RkyMtnThunder]

Anyone know when single game tickets go on sale?

[Crushaholic]

We better take care of business at home early in the season or we'll be in serious trouble this year. At least there's a chance I might be able to make the KC game in Denver. The past two years have fallen on my birthday weekend and I had to sit out.

[smalltowngrll]

Anyone know when single game tickets go on sale?

If memory serves me correct...Mid June.

[Los Broncos]

Got to get my tickets for sd monday night game.

[SportinOne]

Well, seeing as how i live in San Diego i have NO excuse not to be there. I'll go home on Christmas day if i have to, but i'll be at that game. Also, will definitly be at the Green Bay game with my Favre-loving girlfriend. Add in at least one playoff game and it's a pretty good year.

[bpc]

Interesting setup and the more I look at it, the more I like it... a key area in our schedule is in December against Houston on a Thursday night. Our next game after that could be for the division at San Diego on Monday night. There is a 11 day mini-bye to get healthy and prepare for a game that could decide our playoff fate. I like that.

Houston will be a tough team as they have many holes but Kubiak is there and he knows us. The good thing it, its going to be a little different with Cutler who he has no experience with. We'll have to grit out a win there and then ice SD the next Monday night.

[ant1999e]

13-3

[Crushaholic]

I'm just glad Madden doesn't do Monday Night games anymore. He would be doing nothing but slobbering over Favre...:loser:

[Inkana7]

He does that on Sundays anyways!

[rovolution]

Javon vs. Farve should be a great storyline.

[g00fyfoot]

I just saw some guy on a message board bragging about how his Champion Colts got 7 nationally televised games on their schedule, 5 in primetime. Upon looking at his source, it seems that one of their non-primetime Nat'l tv games is against the Mighty Broncos, so we have at least 1 non-pt nat'l tv game. Anyone know if there are more?

It really doesn't matter to me (particularly since I'm moving back to Denver next week and will be in the local market), I guess, but I enjoyed telling him that his team isn't that special. We get that kind of thing every year. It's called being a marquee NFL team.

[bpc]

Anybody looking at other teams schedules?

San Diego?

Sep 9 Chicago 4:15pm - Tough first game against defending NFC champions. I'll give SD the nod at home. 1-0
Sep 16 @New England 8:15pm - Rematch of the AFC divisional championship game... should be a good game. I think New England is much improved over last season while SD has had some turmoil. 1-1
Sep 23 @Green Bay 1:00pm - Think the NFL was taking it easy on SD by scheduling two cold weather teams so early in the season? Me too! 2-1
Sep 30 Kansas City 4:15pm - 1st chance at the Chiefs. 3-1
Oct 7 @Denver 4:15pm - Tough opening against Denver in Denver. They usually always struggle except when we let our DL cover LT. 3-2
Oct 14 Oakland 4:15pm - Three AFC West games in a row. 4-2
Week 7 BYE -
Oct 28 Houston 4:05pm - Not enough defense with Houston. 5-2
Nov 4 @Minnesota 1:00pm - Surprisingly tough matchup in midseason against one of the NFL's best run defenses. 6-2
Nov 11 Indianapolis 8:15pm - Tough matchup for both teams. I'm going to choose LT against this defense every time especially in SD. 7-2
Nov 18 @Jacksonville 1:00pm - Another great run defense. Jax plays great against good teams, bad against bad teams. 7-3
Nov 25 Baltimore 4:15pm - A very tough rematch against a retooled Baltimore team. I like the Ravens in this one. 7-4
Dec 2 @Kansas City 1:00pm - KC is just a very good home team, especially in the cold of winter. 7-5
Dec 9 @Tennessee 1:00pm - Watch out for Vince Young. 8-5
Dec 16 Detroit 4:15pm - NOT enough Lions on defense. 9-5
Dec 24 Denver 8:00pm - I'll give SD the nod over us. 10-5
Dec 30 @Oakland 4:15pm - Too little too late. I have us at 12-4... SD will be 11-5 after beating down Oakland in Oakland.

[bpc]

Sep 9 @Houston 1:00pm - Dangerous game for KC right off the bat. 1-0
Sep 16 @Chicago 4:15pm - Chicago is just a better team. 1-1
Sep 23 Minnesota 1:00pm - Best run defense in the league versus one of the best rush offenses. 2-1
Sep 30 @San Diego 4:15pm - SD too much. 2-2
Oct 7 Jacksonville 1:00pm - Another team that has a defense to give KC fits. I think Jacksonville will come in ready to play after losing late to KC last season which cost them a potential playoff birth. 2-3
Oct 14 Cincinnati 1:00pm - Cincinatti walked all over this team last year. 2-4
Oct 21 @Oakland 4:05pm - Oakland is bad but if things go right they could play well against KC. 3-4
Week 8 BYE
Nov 4 Green Bay 1:00pm - Green Bay is susceptable to rush offenses. 4-4
Nov 11 Denver 1:00pm - They own us in KC and until Cutler changes it... 5-4
Nov 18 @Indianapolis 1:00pm - Just like the playoff game... 5-5
Nov 25 Oakland 1:00pm - Oakland gets a win in the division. 5-6
Dec 2 San Diego 1:00pm - 6-6
Dec 9 @Denver 4:15pm - Bad time for a trip to Denver late in the season. Good bye playoffs! 6-7
Dec 16 Tennessee 1:00pm - Beware of Vince! He will steal some games! Unfortunately for Tennessee, they play all three AFC West teams which have very good running games. 7-7
Dec 23 @Detroit 1:00pm Detroit could steal this one late. 8-7
Dec 30 @N.Y. Jets 8:15pm If the playoffs are on the line, I like Thomas Jones. 8-8

[Atwater His Ass]

I don't like it. This schedule is set up to give us that typical fast start we get coupled with the late season melt down ( 6 of last 9 on the road). 10-6 out of this will be good, anything else is gravy.

[Crushaholic]

He does that on Sundays anyways!

Yes, but he won't be doing it DURING our Monday Night game with Green Bay...

[jayman_37]

crap I guess I will be at the sports bar watching the opening day game because of the stupid chiefs.

[Rock Chalk]

Going to the Tennessee game I think.

Thats the Denver game I want to try and pull off.

And of course gonna be at the Houston game.

The Schedule seems to favor us a bit this year. 12-4 is my early prediction.

[NFLBRONCO]

One thing I like is we face Indy early we can get a gauge how much we improved or not before midway point of the season.

[TheChamp24]

Man, I was hoping I might be able to go to the Houston game but its impossible now. During Finals Week at school and Thursday game, tough to go there.
I don't like the ending half of our shcedule, but look at the first half. heck, we have 3 home games in a row!

Could be the perfect start for the young gun Cutler.

[spdirty]

Like getting Buffalo in September, like getting @San Diego with 10 days rest. The December road games are warm climates, can't whine about that. Just wish we got the Indy game like, end of the year, so it would be worthless and they would sit Peyton, but oh well. Be one of those measuring stick games.

I know we got @KC as the first of the 2, but its still bs that we have to play em in November. I know those assholes are gonna flex the KC game here too. Be like Seattle, where its 45 all day and then the gameday temp is 12 degrees. Bastards. Oh well, lets go 12-4.

4 fckin early games. Damnit!

[dragondawg]

dam nfl network again against houston on thursday, and back to back games on primetime yah, of course its always san diego at denver first then denver at san diego towards the end of the year, don't really like all the homes games in the beginning of the year then all the road games at the end, don't want to start out fast and fall flat at the end again, i guess after all the sighings denver made this offseason the NFL decide to do 5 primetime games, i would somehow like to go to the game in San Diego on christmas eve

[Sassy]

I do like SD at the end of the year...a warm game for those of us from cold weather states...unfortunately Christmas Eve sucks for a date!

maybe some more primetime games

Six of our games were primetime last year and more than half were nationally televised. Our games were the highest rated of any of the teams in the regular season and a big part of that is that virtually every one of our games went down to the wire and were just good, exciting games:

The Ravens in the cold rain, the snow game against the Bengals, The Chargers comeback against us, the last second loss against the Seahawks, the overtime win over the Chiefs, the big plays of the Steelers game, the last second loss against the Colts, the comeback against the Raiders, you get the point. Virtually every game was close and went down to the wire. We lost and won both. It's not good for Bronco fans, but it was good for TV.

When you consider the offseason acquisitions, we are also looked at as a sexy team with big plays from big players that us usually good. That's why the networks like us.

Contrast this against other teams like the Cardinals and there are few surprises.

Even more interesting is seeing how the networks treated a loser team like the Chiefs, who can't get a primtime game despite making the playoffs. This is because not only are they total failures, but they aren't a team people like or are easy to root for. By and large most fans of football around the nation have disdain for the Chiefs. They never do anything good are looked at as an old team on the decline. With Huard at QB, it's no surprise the networks know to stay away from their garbage team. Hilarious!

Looks like 10-6 is doable. That stinks to go the 2 final months without 2 home games in a row. Ya know, that sched is pretty crappy.

Not really. We get a cold weather team in September, two hot weather teams in December and finish at home. It's not bad. There are no easy schedules - except for the Colts 2005 schedule. That was a joke.

[Rock Chalk]

I guess Im one of the few that dont think this schedule is bad.

[minibronco]

11-5

[rovolution]

11-5

This is what im thinking as well.

It's pretty good in terms of who and when, but that final 2 months with so much travel during the Holiday season can present some problems.

For a first-place schedule it isn't so bad in terms of who, when, where. Of the six non-Div AFC games, three are at home and are JAX, Pitt, Titans. Those on paper are 3 of the potential AFC playoff teams, so that's good to have them at home.

[lazarus4444]

I guess Im one of the few that dont think this schedule is bad.

I like this schedule too, we came out ahead on this one. Plus, we will be road and battle tested in the 2nd half of the season which IMO is better for the playoffs.

[JPEZ]

I say 12-4

What's up with the 2 on the road 1 at home, 2 on the road 1 at home thing there at the end? ???

[Sassy]

JPEZ...we going to met you this year?

[Atlas]

The schedule isn't bad IMO but 6 of 9 on the road to end the season is just stupid. The NFL always pulls this zaney crap with our schedule.

It's not a horrible schedule. Denver doesn't have 3 road games in a row that is very important. History says teams with three road games in a row often go 1-2 in those games. Denver can jump out to a lead and make everyone else play catchup. I like that. Does Denver have the horses to stay in front. I haven't seen the Chargers schedule yet. Looks like it's going to be a two team race in the AFC West. I think Denver gets a win in KC this year!!

[BlaK-Argentina]

Oh man... screw the NFL Network! I won't get the Houston game!! This sucks!

[epicSocialism4tw]

The road-heavy back end shouldnt be easy, but we have alot of cupcakes on that schedule.

Things never go as planned though. This is not a rebuilding year, it is more of a transitional year. It's hard to tell how things are going to go. There will be new starters and players in new roles all over the place. Cutler, Henry, Scheffler, Graham, Walker, Marshall, a new starting RT, a new starting Guard, a new DT, a new DE or two, possibly a new MLB and LB, a new starting CB in place of one who was tragically killed, and a new defensive coordinator and staff.

This year is going to be alot different.

Will it be better? That's hard to say.

[ludo21]

19-0

[Archie]

At least the Christmas Eve game is out of town. Having a home game on Christmas eve sucks ass!

Yeah - I'm so friggen sick of Christmas Eve games (I think this is four in a row) but at least it is on the road...

[BroncosBeerMan]

Looks like my trips are to GB & TEN - tough to get two Monday Night games, but my father and sister are Packers - and we went to Lambeau in 2002 so this is our trip. My other friend is a Titans fan - good timing for prime time baby.

Orange Force - I'll bring the beer!

[Ugly Duck]

Round 2 with Oakland. They are going to be bad again this year. 9-3

Thats extremely generous of you..... I don't expect that we'll be anywhere near 9-3 at that point in the season.....

[Vegas_Bronco]

Everyone - please stop your personal whine scripts! This is a thing of beauty - the NFL schedule has been released. Please, quit complaining about how it doesn't fit into your personal plans - just ENJOY! We have a great team and I couldn't be more excited - lot's of huge potential with this team!!!

Read KC Star Bob Gretz Schedule reaction. Chiefs are crying big time over this schedule. One TV game (week 17) play first 2 on the road. 3 of last 4 on the road. Two home games are against tough teams coming off the bye week. I think they have officially thrown in the towel on April 11th. Also no home games on National TV. Last years Thanksgiving game didn't count since it was on the NFL channel. Wondering why no one gets to see the Arrowhead experience. Could it be all the mullets in the stands ??:thumbs:

You are right about transitional year. However, I fell that we will do fine because Shanny should be able to do what he likes on Offense and Bates will have the defense more aggressive to a degree.

I expect this season to be more exciting as a Broncos fan; maybe or maybe not a superbowl but definitely more exciting.

[DivineLegion]

SOOOOO many prime time games back to back...
