2006 Schedule Now Set - The Orange Mane

DomCasual · 12-25-2005, 01:29 AM

Well, it's kind of set - there are obviously no dates yet. But we know the teams.

Home
Oakland
Kansas City
San Diego
Indianapolis
Baltimore
Cincinnati
San Francisco
Seattle

Away
Oakland
Kansas City
San Diego
New England
Cleveland
Pittsburgh
Arizona
St. Louis

Overall, I'd say it's not too bad. There are some winnable games on the road, and we get the tougher part of the schedule at home.

OrangeShadow · 12-25-2005, 05:28 AM

thats a pretty tough looking schedule

Rausch · 12-25-2005, 05:48 AM

Not an easy schedule...

RMT · 12-25-2005, 05:52 AM

very true, however, the same was said about this year's schedule, too, with the Eagles and Patriots coming to town. This year's schedule was not easy by any means, however, some of the games we expected to be nail-biters - weren't.

Regardless, next year's schedule will provide another series of exciting home games

~Crash~ · 12-25-2005, 05:59 AM

want to bet we get to go to KC late again !

~Crash~ · 12-25-2005, 06:02 AM

that is another brutal schedule well atleast they cannot cook us at the start of the season except Arizona and dry heat is not that hard to play in at all.

Not that the NFL should consider "fairness" in setting the schedule but giving the Chiefs two HOME games against divisional opponents in December is a tremendous advantage for the Chiefs. With a four month schedule and three divisional opponents, it's statistically unlikely that should happen (that they get two home games against divisional opponents in the same month, especially December).

This was two consecutive years going to Arrowhead in December, I believe we will play there first next year and then here for the second game.

BroncoBuff · 12-25-2005, 07:43 AM

Oh, well . . . the Seahawks game is in Denver so I guess I won't be going . . .

Hogan11 · 12-25-2005, 10:20 AM

Well, barring something happening on the homefront or the game set on a tricky day (like Xmas) the home game to attend for me is pretty much the KC game from here on out.

Cleveland looks real good for the away one, being so close and all.....if SD is a great time, a return there wouldn't be out of the question either.

Hey, never too early to start planning and saving for game trips and tailgating

The Big E · 12-25-2005, 10:22 AM

When do they set the dates?

Can't really remember but I believe it's in April.

That's when both my trips were booked anyways and I know we did it straightaway after the schedule came out.

Wow...tough schedule IMO. Seattle, Indy, and Bengals...woof. Three of the best offenses in the league.

New England will be tough as will the Steelers especially away.

I expect so, got to give the cheaps fans their "Superbowl". Otherwise they don't get close to one.

Thanks Hogan. I want to see if the Broncos will be playing at home the same weekend my Sun Devils play at Colorado. If so, I want to start planning early to get there.

You better hope the Broncos open up the new season away then as the Buffs play ASU on September 16th. Can´t see us opening up with 2 straight home or away games.

watermock · 12-25-2005, 11:29 AM

Sheesh...Hannable had an easier schedule. Or Jesus. You can expect a tough schedule with our record, but that's rediculous. We play all 3 divisional AFC winners plus Seattle and Pittsburg. They threw in some dogs, but man.

Well, no surprise we got Pitt and Seattle as we were going to play the NFC West and the AFC North anyway. We could´ve gone 0-16 and we´d have played them. New England and Cincy are the teams we get for winning the division.

Clockwork Orange · 12-25-2005, 11:36 AM

Looks like a pretty standard first place schedule.

TexanBob · 12-25-2005, 11:50 AM

That looks like an 11-5 or 10-6 schedule to me.

BTW, how do you know home and away opponents, particularly since Baltimore and Cleveland still haven't decided their places in the standings?

CBF1 · 12-25-2005, 11:55 AM

Woohoo Arizona road trip for me !

With the amount of Bronco fans that show up in Arizona for those games, that's practically a bonus home game for the Broncos.

Jens1893 · 12-25-2005, 12:01 PM

Don´t the Cardinals move into their new stadium next season?

Rausch · 12-25-2005, 12:03 PM

Where'd you guys find this?

I'd like to check the Chiefs schedule for next year...

Understatement of the year.

Indy, Pitt, New England, Cincy and Seattle are all going to be good teams next year, just like this year.

The only thing is, the division doesn't quite look as tough anymore.

With strife in Jokeland and Vermeil's imminent retirement, coupled with Schotty syndrome, I do not know that the other teams in teh AFC West are going to be doing much next year.

Tell you what, we got some soft games too. Baltimore, Cleveland, Arizona, St. Louis, and San Francisco. Five very winnable games. Add in the sweep of the division next year and guess what, you get at least an 11-5 team.
