They could play all 8 home games to start a season... go 8-0, doesn't mean they'll do any better in the final 8 road games.

Sure, they can get an early cushion, but the schedule evens out. I still believe the greater advantage would be Denver hosting more late season home games when it's cold and teams are dealing with injuries. Playing in Denver early when the weather is nice, I would suggest that makes it better for the visiting team.

Dealing with the elevation is really the same no matter when you play there... teams are not as beat up early on. That's been my only position.

Your race analogy doesn't really compare unless we're going to race 16 times and we flip who gets the head start. But, carry on.

I realize we'll never agree on this one and that's fine. I would still prefer them to have more late home games. I'm not going to worry much about it until someone decides to waste a day thumbing through league wide comparisions to see how many other teams have seen a similar flow to their schedules.
You have plenty of nothing to say as usual... Carry on.
