Predict Denver's Final record

[broncofan7]

Now that we have all gotten a large enough sample of our team's abilities (or lack thereof) this year--let us predict the teams final record and where we believe that will put us in the 2008 draft.

@ DET---Loss: simply too much offense in their dome--we will not be able to keep up--Det 34 Den 21

@ KC--Loss--running game too strong for the cheifs and we lose again by double digits

TEN--loss--TEN controls the clock much as JAX did and manages to control both lines of scrimmage

@ CHI--Loss--Griese's revenge---Chicago puts just enough of an effort together and CHI's ST are the difference in this battle of
underachievers

@ OAK--WIN--Shanahan continues his mastery over Al despite the equality in both teams' abilities

KC--WIN--Denver manages a split with their division rival by forcing turnovers

@ HOU--WIN--shanny's bunch still has too much for kubes and his boys

@ SD--Loss--too much offense for Diego

MIN--loss-another season ending loss for shanny--too much adrian peterson


6-10 which lends itself to a #10-13 pick

[Los Broncos]

6-10

[oubronco]

16 - 0 superbowl baby

oh DAMN

@ HOU--WIN--shanny's bunch still has too much for kubes and his boys

@ SD--Loss--too much offense for Diego

MIN--loss-another season ending loss for shanny--too much adrian peterson


6-10 which lends itself to a #10-13 pick

I think the record is about right...However I think we beat Chicago and lose to the Raiders. We might beat Minnesota too. If we do, we edge out the Raiders for third at 7-9 and if not we end up 4th with a worse afc record at 6-10 (tied).

We also might lose both to KC, and at Houston and end up 4-12.
(top ten draft...woohoo!)

I am predicting 8-8 season...

[CBF1]

I am still on the 6-10 bandwagon

[Atwater His Ass]

6-10

[toad]

7-9 or 8-8....

I still think DET, KC (at least split), OAK, TEN, CHI, and MIN are winnable games.

Our loses are to teams that are 22-6 overall....that's a pretty damn tough schedule. Top that off with the fact we just beat a top-tier AFC team (PIT) and took what appears to be an elite NFC team (GB) to OT (and had every chance to win).

[jmz313]

12-4. Why not? Oh, yeah we ain't good. 7-9.

[eddie mac]

@ DET---Win: Hopefully a fit Bly, Bailey and Lynch Det 13 Den 20

@ KC--Win--Both teams struggle offensively and Elam nets the game winner in OT. KC 10 Den 13

@ TEN--Win--Vince Young is **** and we'll prove it. Cutler toasts Ten's secondary with the returning Walker and Smith. Den 34 Ten 10

@ CHI--Win--A low scoring game turns whn Griese's picked and it's returned to the house by Champ Chi 13 Den 24

@ OAK--WIN--Shanahan continues his mastery over Al despite the equity in both teams' abilities Oak 17 Den 27

KC--WIN--Denver manages a split with their division rival by frocing turnovers
Den 29 KC 21
@ HOU--WIN--shanny's bunch still has too much for kubes and his boys
Hout 13 Den 24
@ SD--Win--Tomlinson misses the game through injury and the Broncos squeak home and land the Division title. SD 23 Den 26

MIN--Win-Shanny rests his starters and Patrick Ramsey shocks us all with 3 TD passes for a comfortable win. Grady Jackson holds Peterson to minus 3 yds. Den 31 Minn 3

12-4

[broncofan7]

I'd love to see grady jackson on the inside--but it AIN't gonna happen.

[bpc]

Probably 8-8. Cutler will be too good down the stretch especially with Walker coming back.

[Breaker]

10 - 6 with the losses coming to San Diego and the Chiefs in Arrowhead.

[Maximus]

5-11

[Maximus]

Probably 8-8. Cutler will be too good down the stretch especially with Walker coming back.

Walker isn't coming back and cutler can't fix the defense

[Crushaholic]

When someone else made a thread such as this, they asked people to predict the final record and put it in their avatar signature. 8-8 is my recorded prediction and I stick by it. I think we're in for both heartaches and good times in the second half of the season...

In order to go 8-8, we'll have to go 5-4 the rest of the way. I think the remainder of the NFC North belongs to us (that's 3 more wins). We will take one from KC and show Houston Shanahan still owns Kubiak. There's your 5 wins.

[TheDave]

8-8... Just seems like a .500 team to me.

[long beach bronco]

The expectations we had for this team, all the money spent in the offseason, the new defensive attack scheme employed by Bates, and with all that said, this team is horrible. No attack, to many stupid penalties, no discipline, no killer instinct, way too many injuries, bad playcalling. Shanny, what is going on? This is a mess!!!! 5-11 at best.

[Mountain Bronco]

6-10 down from my original before the season 8-8 prediction when I criticized all of the Super Bowl hommers. Our Defense is not only limited in talent, it is old, old, old. Lynch and Ferguson are too old to get it done in the secondary, you need speed there and neither of them have it. Offense is to young to support the entire load and Shanny has been doing a terrible job of preparing players the blundering of the timeouts in the first half was terrible along with the goal line calls (throw the f$@%ing ball at the end of the game). I hope this is a lesson to all of the orange lense freaks around here that just because the franchise talks of going to a SB, does not make it a realistic goal.

[Traveler]

Put me with the 6-10 crowd.

[ZachKC]

7-9 or 8-8

[KillerBronco#76]

12-4

[RhymesayersDU]

12-4

!

[cmhargrove]

I'm sticking with 9-7 and just missing the playoffs. I could be persuaded to 8-8, but I think this team will gather momentum. I think the offense will continue to improve as it puts the ball in Cutler's hands even more (especially at the goal line). We left 14 easy points on the field, even with the crappy defense. When our offense works out the little kinks (that should be expected of four new starting linemen), we will start winning.

I'm not even looking at the defense right now, it just hurts too much. We will have an exciting offense, and we will start winning.

[Rock Chalk]

Bunch of freakin crackheads.

Earlier, prior to Pittsburgh, I said 5-11. I am going to stick with that. I still believe we may win 2 more games on the schedule. Maybe as high as 8-8.

[defenseman]

I continue to stick with 7-9. However, considering the coaching staff's approach to "winning" the green bay game, I may be giving them too much credit..dman

*You NEVER, I'll repeat that, NEVER miss an opportunity to step on an opponents neck and choke the life out them. Never miss it, if you do, it will come back and haunt you. Shanahan missed that opportunity last nite, his opponent stepped on his neck, but good when it counted....hats off to the packers.

Very very true regarding the coaching staff and their inability & the opportunity to put the nail in the coffin at the end, only to piss it away with Packers awaiting the QB run. That was a Golden opportunity for a roll out pass/ run option. I still cant get over how many players we didnt have, then did have on defense. How embarrassing for an NFL team.

[MechanicalBull]

I'll be optimistic and say 9-7 or 10-6
@Det-W the lions aren't putting up as many points as they were in the beginning and their D can be scored on.
@KC-L
Tenn.-W (but get ready for the espn vince young love parade.)
@Chi-could go either way on this game.
@Oak-W
KC-W
@Hou-W
@SD-L
Minn-W

Once again another draft pick in the mid teens.

I watched all lions games and they got good receivers and Kevin Jones is a good RB..

I am prediction that we will lose next week's game..

I think we will be 8-8.

[NYBronc]

9-7. I think we lose at KC, SD, and at home to TEN. Close wins at HOU, DET, and CHI. This team's fun to watch at least. I won't be surprised if we finish 11-5. Pass the pipe.

[TallyBronco]

7-9, with two more overtime losses, one loss on missed Jason Elam field goal, and one loss on a Jay Cutler interception returned for a touchdown. And one more loss with Dre Bly getting beat long for a score.

[Arkie]

The next 5 weeks are going to be brutal. The Broncos stay competitive in most of these games, but make too many boneheaded mistakes. The fairweather fans will be long gone by then.
@ Det L
@ KC L
TEN L
@ Chi L
@ Oak L

Denver shows improvement over the last month by blowing out KC and Minnesota and losing a nail-biter at San Diego. The team has a letdown in Houston, but overall shows some promise down the stretch.

KC W
@ Hou L
@ SD L
MIN W

The Broncos have the 5th or 6th pick, but we seem like the best 5-11 team ever.

[MechanicalBull]

If Denver goes 6-10 or 7-9 but by around week 12 or so it looks like the offense and defense are starting to click and we win a couple games without waiting for a last second Elam fg I won't be that upset

We will finish better than 5 - 11.

[eddie mac]

I'd actually put money on Shanahan retiring if we finish around the 5-11 mark. Think he's far too proud to put a losing team out there for a season and come back. It was bad enough for him we missed the playoffs last year after going to the Championship game in 05/06. That would be a total regress.

[Triplelefthook]

10-6

[Arkie]

I think Shanny would be too proud to go out like that (5-11) when the next few seasons have so much more promise.

[broncos love]

Who knows what their final record will be. I just hope they win tommorrow. One game at a time.

[Dr. Broncenstein]

9-6

[Natedogg]

All this bull**** talking about getting high picks is pissing me off. We're not talking about the buccaneers. I could give a **** if we have a high draft pick.

9-7. We win the division and make the playoffs.

If you want cheer on your team for a high draft pick, go to a raiders forum.

[NFLBRONCO]

What I want to see is improvement in all areas and no major injuries the rest of the way. If we lose alot along the way better options in April.

[Arkie]

I'm cheering on the Broncos to win every game. I'm predicting that the Broncos won't have a winning record every year. This is one of those rare years.

[ozomulsion]

We are a 5&11 team.

[Doggcow]

12-4 obviously

[Spider]

12-4 ......... yeah so what I bleed orange and blue , dont really give a damn if people think I am a homer ........

[crazyhorse]

5-11

6-10

[Bronx33]

No the broncos not the cheaps you silly ****.

[telluride]

You know, it doesn't really matter. We won't make the playoffs, which is the only yardstick that matters. Thus another disappointing year with Shanny et al. Pisses me off, frankly.

[theAPAOps5]

8-8 as I pretty much expected after about week 3.

That's what i expected in week #1 and next season will be another dry run (this is what happens when your team is under construction folks) PATIENCE

You mean........rebuilding?

[telluride]

You expected to go to the playoffs this year?

Yeah, I kinda did. At least as a wildcard. I assumed that our defense would be better than the second half of last year, and with Henry and an unleashed Cutler, I was very hopeful about the offense. That this year will be a disaster I attribute in part to injuries -- can't do anything about that -- but mostly to the coaching staff and to Shanny's horrific personnel decisions.

Here's an interesting mind exercise. What do you think our record would be if we had the exact same team, but Belichick and his staff was coaching them?

The same (why: the injuries) you can't get blood out of a turnip plus i really don't know how to gauge bates 1- was he expecting too much from the talent he had at his disposal? or he just stinks as a DC. Will we have to weather another year of him trying to get the players to adjust to his schemes? to tell you the truth to start this season i was looking forward to a new DC and as i suspected being a new DC he would have some growing pains butttttttttt i would also expect to see some gradual improvements (which never happened) hes still a question mark IMO.

[crazyhorse]

Apparently, there's several things the Broncos are doing this season. Rebuilding isn't one of them. Troll

before the season I thought our team was going to be very, very good.

[Bronx33]

Having a rook QB going to the playoffs it extremely rare infact it's been around 20+ years since a rook QB even won a playoff game let alone made it there.

[fontaine]

At the start of the season I thought we could manage 10 wins but given the huge number of injuries I think 7-9 or 8-8 is a more realistic figure.

[Spider]

i would like to change my prediction to 11-5 ;D
