Thankfully, this year Denver opens on the road and has 3 of the first 5 on the road. Then, after a week 10 bye, they play 4 of 5 on the road.

You and I have been waiting for such an event to happen. Took FOREVER but it's finally here! I'm betting Denver gets off to its worst start in years - even though many Donx fans think that this year's team will be better than the past two because VJ is gone. Like I said earlier, NOBODY will be mistaking this Denver team for a playoff team this season due to early season success at home.

The Refs helped break the Chargers losing streak to us last year and the Faders the year before- probably be your turn now to keep the parity thing going. I expect you will get very generous calls to keep it close. At least they didn't make us play in Mexico right before you guys. |

I like Scangarello's upside and the fact they were able to lure Munchak over to fix the OL, that's one of their biggest needs of correction. Defensively, we'll see what Donatell and the new staff can do with the defense. Several new key players that look nice. Will they win 10+ games? Likely not, but is there a reasonable expectation to surpass 5 and 6 wins? I think so. Fix that OL... and they have a nice set of young RBs, WRs and TEs that they can do a lot with, so that's promising. Consistency with the younger players will be the challenge. Can Munchak fix Bolles? We shall see and will be nice to see what Risner and James can bring. Lindsay may see a decrease if they changes on offense put Freeman more in a lead or truly dual role and I don't think that's a bad thing. Sutton, Hamilton, Sanders will be a good trio for Flacco and the addition of Fant with a healthy Jake Butt (big question) gives them potentially they're most dynamic set of playmakers in a few years. Defensively, I think they've addressed some key areas and will be improved. We'll see what happens as camps open up. Brutal schedule for sure... @ Raiders, Bears, @ Packers, Jaguars @ Chargers, Titans, Chiefs, @ Colts Browns, BYE, @ Vikings, @ Bills, Chargers @ Texans, @ Chiefs, Lions, Raiders

Wow, I'm having a hard time seeing wins past the bills, lions and a split with the faid. Maybe the bears considering they have to come to you early in the season. Other than that, it looks like it's shaping up to be another looong year in donkeyville

Every other team on that schedule is better than Denver...4 wins might be a reality. If the Donks get a top 3 pick...will they draft another QB? |

@ Raiders, Bears, @ Packers, Jaguars I could see them going 2-2 in this stretch, losing @ Pack and possibly the Bears. Raiders will be tough, but they have a ton of questions as well. Jags - tough place early in the season and they have a new QB. Jags will have played KC, Houston and the Titans in the first 3 weeks.... tough start. @ Chargers, Titans, Chiefs, @ Colts This will be a brutal stretch, I think they lose both road games and believe they can beat TN and they will play KC close in Denver. 2-2, maybe 1-3 Browns, BYE, @ Vikings, @ Bills, Chargers Right now, you have to say CLE is favored - they have a tough start and after the bye, they play @ NE and then travel to DEN. Vikings... tough one, likely a road loss. Bills - coin flip and Chargers at home... they've split the last 3 seasons, could be a win. 2-2 best case, maybe 1-3 reality @ Texans, @ Chiefs, Lions, Raiders Two big road games, I'll chalk this up as 2-2. So, I have 6 wins worst case at this point and think it will be 8-9 overall. At this point, anything can happen and I souldn't be shocked. They won't win more than 8-9 wins though, that's the ceiling.

I think the Donks can field the best defense Joe Flacco has had in years. That alone can win you games in the NFL.
I just wouldn't count on much from that offense, though. The only way the Donks are getting anywhere is if the defense is absolutely stifling. Like, we're talking better than the 2015 Donk defense. |

Flip Oakland and Denver. I actually think Oakland will be somewhere around 7-9 or 8-8, Denver will be last in the division. Oakland does have a relatively "serviceable" Quarterback, even though he did cry that one time. |

That will take them out of the running for a real QB prospect...I think 6-10 is their best case scenario. |

I think the defense will be fine, but it won't be all world 2015 level great.
