Hedging my bets? Sure. As mentioned before, lots of change with coaches and several new players. They're not going to suck, as BlackTop predicts...

10 wins is where I think they end up. The defense is still top tier and that's going to be the difference.

I just looked at your schedule. 10 wins would be a miracle. 8 wins would be practical, and 6 wins would be a lock.

MHM, you're usually the level headed Donk fan in here. But if you think that the Donks are going to get 10 wins and be in the hunt for the division, then you must be drinking KnowShits Kool aid. The Donks will be closer to 10 losses than 10 wins and will likely be all but eliminated by Thanksgiving.

Well, I don't consume from the same cup of crazy as some. Most want to agree on the safe bet of 8 wins for Denver. I think they will be better than last year which doesn't mean they'll advance, I just don't see the sky falling.

So 2 games is the difference between practical and miracle... interesting.

I hate to side with a Donk fan, but he's right. You should reword that. 8 wins is possible with a few lucky breaks would be a more accurate way to put it. 8 wins isn't really a practical expectation for the Donks this year.

Most likely the hard way.

You might want to rephrase that as the Broncos tore through the elite of the NFL enroute to a SB win. Pitt, Pats, and a 15-1 Pather team.

You can put kc up in the elite cat until they beat an elite team in the playoffs.

The Broncos D limited the Pats to 16 points last year in a year where their HC missed a week due to health, the DC missed a week of prep, young QB, Terrible OL and injuries to the RB corps.

This will be an interesting year. We will find out if the Broncos have turned the corner on their rebuild and if kc is just starting it's rebuild after dumping cap after June 1.

Just like the Broncos the Chiefs don't have a chance this year and you can include the rest of the conference in this too.
The patriots have a super team this year and their offense looks as good as the one they had when they went undefeated.

I have a feeling this is going to lol like the NBA this fall.

It's clear Broncos rookie tackle Garett Bolles is making quality progress as the team continues to take longer looks at him with the starters at times.

The deep passes from Lynch this month are cause for optimism. Consistently leading his WRs instead of making them come back for the ball.

Lynch's best pass today came two snaps after his TD -- he hit TE Austin Traylor in stride past coverage downfield. Well-placed ball.

Such off season winning... Against nobody.

Quesadilla Joe · 06-13-2017, 11:55 AM

Isaiah McKenzie is gonna be a special weapon as a PR. I'd be surprised if he doesn't run at least one back this yr.

Still living in 2015...your team missed the play-offs last season and lost their most important piece...Wade. They also lost their defensive leader in Ware.

JFC how much OTA fluff can possibly come from 1 team?

They're running apace with North Korea. Perhaps we should consider switching them up.

The deep passes from Kim Jong Un this month are cause for optimism. Consistently leading his WRs instead of making them come back for the ball.

Paxton Lynch threatens South Korea with destruction of the highest level after border incident.

Vance Joseph on what he's seen from Garett Bolles: "A lot of progress." #9sports

Garett Bolles got more time at LT with first-team offense today. Said Vance Joseph: "He was drafted in the first round for a reason."

#Broncos HC Joseph on dust ups: "It's been back and forth all spring. Today, it looks to me that the offense responded with a big stick."
