First Round Bye:
As training camp get in to full swing, there are only two things for certain: 1) THE Broncos win the West by 2 or more game, & 2) THE Broncos will get a home playoff game.
With the AFC-West laid down at the feet of THE Broncos, let us see how they get to a first round bye: Week 1: Sep 11 Broncos at Dolphins. Now this one is the deceptive game for the delusional doubters. I actually see THE Broncos loosing this game in week 1 @ Miami. I know, it is the effing Dolphins; however Denver is one of the worst teams when visiting Florida, and even worst when playing an early game on the East coast. However, Shanahan is the best opening day coach in the NFL, so Denver very well could win. Nonetheless, if they win its gravy. Record: 0-1. Week 2: Sep 18 Chargers at Broncos. No brainer, here. Denver trounces this lil team that could. First off, Denver is not going to lose a home opener—it has never been done under Shanny; and secondly it was a fluke that the Sparkerlers wasn’t swept last year. Record: 1-1. Week 3: Sep 26 Chiefs at Broncos. Man, another no brainer here too. Chiefs @ Denver on MNF… same ole same ole Monday/Sunday night embarrassment. Record: 2-1. Week 4: Oct 2 Broncos at Jaguars. Can you say PAAAAYYYYYYBAAAACCCCK? “Q” is not toting the rock in the last 30 seconds this time. I predict a tough defensive battle w/ Denver winning decisively in the 4th Qtr with its depth on defense, and running game. Record: 3-1. Week 5: Oct 9 Redskins at Broncos. Portis returns to his glory. Who cares? This team suks, Portis in NOT a bronco; thus he suks, & a rookie QB will start—hopefully if is still standing by then. Denver trounces this team @ home. No brainier… Record: 4-1. Week 6: Oct 16 Patriots at Broncos. Good game. However I see Denver winning @ Denver. NE is not going to be the same squad; things are starting to unravel there. Two years ago, thanks to Delta Bungle O’Neil, Pasties stole a game from Denver @ Denver on MNF. Of course Denver was starting its 3rd string QB then; but I see a little azz whomping coming to f@gboy Brady and Co. in this game on the national stage. This is the week that Denver starts becoming the media darlings… Record: 5-1. Week 7: Oct 23 Broncos at Giants. No brainer-Azz whomping…it just keeps on rolling… Record: 6-1. Week 8: Oct 30 Eagles at Broncos. Good game. Might be the Super Bowl preview. Eagle could very well come in to Denver and win; however I will give it to THE Broncos simple due to home field advantage. By this time, Mile High should be a rock’n. Record: 7-1. Week 9: Nov 13 Broncos at Raiders . No brainier here. Azz-Whomping is a coming. Walls will open some eyes in this game. Record: 8-1. Week 10: Nov 20 Jets at Broncos. Broncos win. Jets will be leading the AFC-East Division here too. Will be a good game, but I will give home field advantage to Denver. Not a no brainer, but Denver wins nonetheless Record: 9-1. Week 11: Nov 24 Broncos at Cowboys. 1977 Super Bowl revisited here. Broncos loose and embarrassing road game in Dallas on Thanksgiving. Dallas has a great record on Thanksgiving; and I see a little bump in the road here for Denver. Record: 9-2 Week 12: Dec 4 Broncos at Chiefs. Broncos finally hit the skids (momentarily) at this point. The will drops this game to a last place KC team, once again playing for nothing at this point. The only AFC-W game that Denver loses this season will be @ KC. After this game, Denver media will be in a tizzy, doubters will come out of the sewer again. Record: 9-3. Week 13: Dec 11 Ravens at Broncos. A lot of bad Bronco history with this piece of poop. I see a wounded Bronco team rebound right in the middle of Lewis’ face this week. And it is back on the tracks and a rolling again! Record: 10-3. Week 14: Dec 17 Broncos at Bills. Good game, here. Tough to call, not sure where Buffalo will be at this point and it will be cold; However at this point Denver already has its eye on the prize. Record: 11-3. Week 15: Dec 24 Raiders at Broncos. No brainer here. Denver is running away with the division, and possibly the AFC at this time. Shanny stops in to put one more foot in Al’s azz just before he dies! Record: 12-3. Week 16: Dec 31 Broncos at Chargers. This is a tough game to call. Once again, New Years night, and at this point Denver has first round bye probably locked up. Starters will probably sit for this one too. However @ this point the S-a-n—D-ieeee-A-GO SUPER CHARGERS have fallen back down to the pits of the NFL where they belong. Cinderella crap is over, and Rivers will be the starter. Record: 13-3. On to the playoffs… Talk amongst yourselves. |

I think we CAN beat Miami in Week 1. Ronnie Brown is behind the curve because of his holdout and Shanahan has a fantastic record winning the first game of the season. I agree that we usually have trouble in Florida, but I'm still looking at this game as a win. We'll probably lose a game we weren't supposed to lose, like usual. That would still make our record 13-3.

We'll see how it goes. The key to the season is to get started off right (1st 4 games). Lose two or more and the wheels might never get rolling. Hope your'e right.  |

I was worried that I'd jinx us, but now no one can blame it on me.

I've already had enough of this bullshat about the f'n Cowboys on T-Day.
I'm on record right now for Denver winning in Dallas on T-Day. Mark it down and remember it. I don't care what the Cowboys record on T-Day is...that means nothing and I'm sick of hearing about it....Denver will be the better team at that point and they will win by 10. I don't even have to bring out Criswell to make such a prediction, I believe in it that much. |

Well, at least we're getting the first of blush of rampant homerism out in the open.
 Seriously though, I'm not real confident in the O yet, but if the D turns out to be as good as my initial gut reactions tell me it's going to be, there may be some very nice surprises in our future. Not to mention STs. |

Miami will suck nuts and fold....
I think we will split the divisional games and road games if we are lucky.... 9 wins minimum... 12 wins if everyone is healthy and we get some special teams.... |

Denver will do no better than 11-5, and that will be good enough to win the division. And THAT'S full blown homer mode. It's all going to boil down to 4 crucial home games. Philly, New England, Baltimore and SD.

I still think SD was a total fluke last year and at this point, I've seen nothing to change that perception yet. |

Speaking about the Jets....I have them against Mock's Hornheads on TV tonight!
Finally, I get something other than a CFL game at work! |

I missed the first half. I'm still seething about passing on Mike Williams.

Is it me or does Phil Simms seem to be in a bad mood tonight or something?
Bonnie Bernstein said he looked femine tonight because he was wearing a pink shirt and tie, maybe that ticked him off some  |

why exactly WOULDNT you have confidence in the offense? just look at what we have. we were a top five offense last year. coming into this year, we have the EXACT same line except carlisle replaces dan neil. no difference to me. neil was a walking holding call and overrated in my book. we have the same qb who threw for over 4k yards and 27 td's. difference this year is that its his third year in the system (even elway said it took him going into his third season to feel 100% confident in shanny's offense), and its HIGHLY unlikely that he'll have ELEVEN tipped ball int's again. we have tatum bell returning, and we have mike anderson back from injury. quentin and reuben or bell and anderson? i agree, bell and anderson is a better pair  also, kyle johnson goes into his second year in the offense. at receiver, we have rod. okay, enough said there. we have lelie, who was very good last year in the deep routes, but didnt do as much in the short game. we've heard him, shanny, and jake all talk about it this offseason. ash will be more involved, and thus we will be improved. watts is in his second year and if he can get some confidence back he DEFINATELY has the ability to get open. in the redzone, we have rice, who has lost ALOT of steps, but will still almost always catch the ball when its thrown to him. at tight end, we have putz returning, but we also have alexander who should make an impact. bottom line is that the offense is better than it was a year ago, and a year ago it finished fifth in total yards. jake |

13-3? Every ball would have to bounce our way.
I think 10-6/9-7 is a better guess.
