What ****ing idiot thinks the Broncos go 6-6?

I will assume that you meant to type 6-10 and respond to that. I am one of the ones who believe will be the records. Kansas City has the best offense they've had since Vermeil was here, and the D, while not as good as last year is still formidable. I have high expectations for this team. The Broncos have a very good defense no doubt, but the quarterback situation will doom them. 6-10 is the ceiling. But speaking of being disappointed, let's hear what you're expecting the records of our respective teams to be.

About a month ago, I posted that KC would win 11 with Denver and Oak having 9 wins, while SD has 6.

That's fair. Can't disagree much with that take.

We sometimes have our disagreements, but you're cool (for a Broncos fan) in my book.

Don't buy into my passive aggressiveness though, once you think it's safe... BAM, I apparently just unload with an incredible cyber kick to the nuts. It's all part of my act.

Yeah, I remember that. I was asking Vailpass for his take. After seeing Sanchez flounder so badly, do you still think Denver pulls out 9 wins? I just don't see it. This is a quarterbaxk driven league. How do you win more than you lose with arguably the worst quarterback situation in the league?

Yeah, and Manning was washed up by week 9.

For me this is an especially hard year to make predictions. 3rd pre-season game is supposed to be a dress rehearsal for the 1st teamers but this year for Denver it's still a QB try-out. That is really not good at this point in the preseason.
But Denver has built a solid championship foundation on both sides of the ball to the point they can win through without an elite QB. 6-10 as the ceiling for the SB champs? I predict they will have a better record than that.

For KC, I admire the strides they've made over the last few years. They have a nice offense that is efficient if not prolific. After Maclin and Kelce there is nothing proven at either position though.
11 wins to close the year last year speaks for itself yet it can't be argued they played some 2nd string QBs and won't have that break this year. Nor will they have any CBs besides Peters.I just don't see KC's D as being good enough this year to keep them in low scoring games and I still don't see their O as being able to stand toe-to-toe in a scoring battle.
12-4? I predict they will have a worse record than that.
So, we'll see.

Should be 10 wins pretty easily. I could see 11 unless they play the Broncos six times.

You're right. if we play the Broncos 6 times, that number should be higher.

And I'm the ****ing homer?

Good grief. You have a great WR duo and it ends there.

You probably think your offense is as good as, or close to, ours.

Far be it from me to argue against that one win y'all have since the 2011 season.

Back to 2011 a lot has changed. Look at how KC dominated Denver last year. I see no reason to think that trend won't continue this year.

I imagine it's been very frustrating for you.
