This has a trickle down effect as the season progresses. Chargers shut your team out later in the year but lost by 3 in the opener. They missed the PO by one game. Cowboys averaged 33 PPG in their following 5 games after scoring only 17 @ Denver.
Denver still has an altitude advantage even late in the season...but it's not as overt.
I stand by my assessment that this is a primary reason the Donks have been a .500 team even when they arent very good. They havent had back to back losing seasons in over 45 years..

Exactly. It's about the effects the altitude has on conditioning and the overwhelming advantage Denver has because of it to start the season. He ALWAYS switches it to an argument that he would rather have a home heavy schedule to end the season. It's his way of diverting from the issue.
Just like last year when he said the Broncos losing was "hardly a collapse."
When he's wrong, he pivits to his safe space of stats, wordsmithing, and diversion.
