I still don't buy into it as this major advantage. I think the altitude is what it is in August or December. I would MUCH rather have more at home later in the year. I'll never change that. We'll just agree to disagree... rather than debate that into eternity.

Deal is, he and I have literally been having this discussion for over a decade - and every year, when they get gifted an early season home heavy schedule, he loses ground... Yet comes back stronger than ever the following year as to why it doesn't matter.

Of course you won't change your opinion, especially if you haven't after these past few seasons. I've accepted that. Its just fun to point it out to you EVERY year...which I will certainly also do into eternity.

They were something like 20-1 the first two weeks at home...and it doesn't matter. Ohhhkay. Some VERY bad Broncos teams in that mix too, especially the last two years.

And, go back to 2010 ... looking at all those early season home games in the first few weeks, they certainly didn't win them all. So, that doesn't help the 'inflated wins' theory right? 2010 - first 2 of 3 at home, went 1-1 at home 2011 - first 2 at home, went 1-1 losing the opener 2012 - first 2 of 3 at home, went 1-1 at home 2013 - first 3 of 4 at home, won 'em all on way to 13 wins 2014 - first 3 of 4 at home, won 'em all on way to 12 wins 2015 - first 2 of 6 at home (wk 1 and 4), won both on way to 12 wins 2016 - first 2 of 4 at home, won both 2017 - first 4 of 5 at home, won 3 2018 - first 3 of 4 at home, won 2 2015 - 2 home / 4 road and 2017 - 4 home / 1 road are the two real extremes. In 2015, the good team fought through it and won. In 2017, they weren't a good team and failed. I'm still perplexed as to why there would be a focused effort to give Denver early home games on purpose. In the end, I think it evens out - the downside to that schedule is they are playing on the road late when they are beaten up and chasing playoff aspirations. This idea that it artificially inflates wins is bogus to me... look at 2010, 2011, 2012.. 2013-2015, those were very good teams. I guess if you want to argue that the last two seasons, Denver would be a win or 2 less and still just suck outright with sub .500 records. Sure, go for it - they either suck with 3 wins or 5 wins in those years. I just don't see where the advantage was in the other years.

Ok, going back to my pit of misery and sincerely... I hope Denver has 3 of 4 on the road to start in 2019.

But... but...but....they get no advantage getting off to a good start, with a front loaded home schedule, playing at high altitude.

Going back to 2010 - are you agreeing there's merit to my dismissiveness on the topic or no?

Denver is like 20-1 the first two weeks at home, so his data isn't adding up
