    November might be a looooooooong month.

  • Pat

    Ouch

  • DC

    I see 6 wins max.

  • milehighs

    broncos are screwed this year.should of stuc k with cutler.

  • Matt
  • Matt

    and uhh.. this year is going to be rough with or without Cutler. I actually believe we’ll pull off a stronger season without him.

  • SanDiegoBronco55

    damn tough schedule…but at least we have to go to San Diego in October rather than late December…plus maybe we can get some bad weather for our home game against them around thanksgiving….dude…we gotta have faith…we will rally around Orton…cant wait!!!!

  • robtink242

    hey lets be optimistic we might win 10 games. who knows.

    But realistically Whoa how did we manage this.

  • roshon2411

    Well they could open the season well, with Cincy, Cleveland, and Oakland but could be down hill from there. Don’t see too many road games where they will be favored.

  • Fan from Spain

    I am very optimistic also.. 4-0 start, I think “the teacher” will win the NE game, but if the team has the rite attitude and a decent D… playoffs for sure.

  • dbroncos

    We will probably start off 2-1 or 3-0 and then things will shift dramatically i think. And yea November is going to be a LONG month.

  • http://Broncotalk.net (dee)

    Bengals – WIN
    Browns – WIN
    Raiders – WIN
    Dallas – WIN (this game is at home)
    NE – Loss (I’m realistic)
    SD – Loss (also on road)
    BALT – WIN (they won’t outscore us)
    Pitts – WIN (we’ve beat them the last 2 times we’ve played them)
    Wash – Loss (tough road game)
    SD – WIN (at home we beat them)
    NYG -Loss (maybe a close loss)
    KC – WIN (come on … KC )
    Indy – Loss (road game)
    Oak – WIN
    Philly – WIN (this one is for Dawkins)
    KC – WIN (nothing game, but its at home)

    I have them going 11-5 , now the rationale:

    We’ve beat Pittsburgh the last 2 times we’ve played them (1 time with Cutler, and once with Plummer)

    Baltimore is not going to outscore us, I dont care who plays QB for us.

    The game that might go either way is Dallas…. so even if they lose that game then they’ll finish 10-6.

    Thoughts?

  • NathanH

    very optimistic Dee. Baltimore’s O will be better next year, and their D is filthy, I don’t really see us putting up more then 20 on them, so it’ll be close. KC could split one, so could the Raiders. Pitt isn’t a gimme either. Until i saw the schedule i was hopeful for 10 wins, but now I think even a realistic season for the team would be 9-7.

  • http://Broncotalk.net (dee)

    nathanH

    As I Bronco Fan I hope for the Superbowl every year, I’m not expecting anything else …. for those that are expecting a 5-11 year why even bother watching if you expect them to lose?

  • robtink242

    i totally agree with dee. Your prediction looks nice but i cant predict anything until the preseason. After the draft and all the OTA’s then we’ll see what players we have. then in preseason we’ll see how they play.

  • http://Broncotalk.net (dee)

    One of the other things that I’ve thought of is that everyone (experts, fans, general people on the street) believe that the broncos will have a terrible season because we dont have any real stars or impact players on defensive.

    From McD’s perspective he is coming from NE where they had good players, but the emphasis was always on putting the best TEAM on the field. Too often we talk about being a great TEAM, however focus on individuals. McD knows a thing or two about putting the best TEAM on the field and finding a way to win. I have faith in his ability to win and teach our TEAM how to become winners.

    Another note: How good was the Patriots team that beat St Louis? They didn’t have many superstars , but played the best team game. (Yes I know about the videotapping, but honestly I believe all teams do it , so do even go there)

  • http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3983805 WhidbeyBronco

    Dee!
    Share the kool aid!
    U have us sweeping KC & the Raiders… I’ll take that and a SD split. I’d love to win the Dallas game… I believe we can win some of the others as well. What scares me are the early games we’re SUPPOSED to win… Let’s see how our new system & players gel in camp & preseason…

  • http://Broncotalk.net (dee)

    WB

    We will win, at minimum we’ll be 9-7 I believe. But I think we will win at least 10 games. Believe in the Broncos.

  • NathanH

    “for those that are expecting a 5-11 year why even bother watching if you expect them to lose?”

    Because I’m a Broncos fan. I’m sorry, but I don’t “hope” or “faith” in things that aren’t realistic.

    I’ll still watch every minute of every game whether we finish 14-2 or 2-14. Why? To McD’s callin plays, see how the young guys are developing, see the new defensive scheme and if its worth it for us, see Dawkins and Champ play together, and most of all, to judge if they were “5-11” because McD or the team sucked(making the season a failure), or if it was a “5-11” season where the young guys really grew up, the QB took to the system, but we just played a rough schedule and weren’t as bad as our record suggests.

    I said I’m looking for a 9-7 year at best, that is optomistic to me, and if its not for you, then you either don’t watch the other teams we play, or you are one of those blind hopeful types.

    Thats great that you expect a Superbowl every year, so do I, but there is also such a thing as reality. And the reality is that we have NO ONE, besides DJ Williams that we can really expect to transition well in the front 7, and especially on the D-Line.

    That mixed with a QB switch(even if he does well), an all new secondary besides Champ, a near overhaul on the coaching staff and FO, and the unpredictablity of injury, and we’re looking at maybe 10 wins if we play out of our minds.

  • http://Broncotalk.net (dee)

    NathanH

    I dont think its just blind faith, I think my rationale speaks for itself. But hey we dont have to agree.

  • http://Broncotalk.net (dee)

    NathanH

    I’m sorry you must be a bigger fan than me and be able to predict the future, I apologize for my faith.

  • stav

    I watch every game, every minute, regardless of score. And then regardless of the outcome, since its tivo’d, I either torture or enjoy myself once more during the week with a replay. But who cares really, I think we’re all fans here, lets not do the bs scale of fan garbage. Anyway, I see 6-9 wins realistically. 6, 7 is if they don’t buy into McD and we’re flip-flopping between Simms/Orton. 8, 9 is if they buy into McD and have his back, we draft smartly, and we actually learn how to wrap and tackle. I don’t think I’m dreaming when I say that I think out of Dallas, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington (and I’m serious when I say this), at least two of those four maybe three of four. Why is Dallas so good? I agree, Baltimore isn’t going to put up alot of points. You never know what you’re going to get with Philly, and Washington is just Washington another question mark team. I think people are just going to sleep on us and that’s the biggest mistake you can make, treating a team like an after-thought. Here we go:

    Bengals – W
    Browns – W
    Raiders – W
    Dallas – L, four straight? come on guys, that’s a little much, no?
    New England – L
    The Dolts – L
    Baltimore – W, Flacco just doesn’t do it for me
    Pitt – L
    Skins – W
    The Dolts – L, sorry I think they sweep us this year
    G-Men – L
    Chiefs – W
    Colts – L, but not as ugly as the past
    Raiders – W, we sweep this year
    Eagles – W
    Chiefs – L, they get us back for one

    8-8, and I think this is realistic. Throw in one upset for a 9th win? Holy shit, I consider the 2009-2010 season a huge success (as long as the Bears go 7-9 or worse so we can have another top 12 pick).

  • NathanH

    Dee…WHAT THE HELL IS FAITH??????????

    It certainly is not cause for rationale. People boggle my mind. Its the 21st century and people still want to cling on things like “faith”!?. I hate to ruin this for ya Dee, but your “faith” in Santa, the tooth fairy, jesus or the Broncos doesn’t mean crap and certainly isn’t justification for a realistically thinking the team will have a better season.

  • http://mrherculesrockefeller.blogspot.com hercules rockefeller

    I’m sorry, but this thing is brutal. Look at weeks 4-12. That’s a potential 7 game losing streak right there. Maybe we take dallas and washington. maybe.

    Best case is 9-7. Probably closer to 6-10.

  • http://mrherculesrockefeller.blogspot.com hercules rockefeller

    Best case is very unlikely. And what’s with all of the 11am starts? Six? What the hell?

  • http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3983805 WhidbeyBronco

    I wish i could offer an argument for how we’ll do this year…
    Way too many variables at this point to even begin. Ridiculous.
    I’ll hold my 2 cents for mini-camp at least!
    Until then… I guess I better side with Dee but I’m going to have to spike my koolaid k?
    Go Broncos

  • roshon2411

    Dee, why not 16-0 then? If McD can get the Broncos to the playoffs with this schedule, give him a lifetime contract and not the Shanny lifetime contract.

  • soxbigdog

    They will be riding high starting the season 3-0, McDaniel will be the new offensive genius… and then …. its all down hill from there !

  • Riverscanbl&wme

    Holy Sh*t! The NFC East is tough but probably not as good as it was last year. I agree 3-0 and a close one with Dallas. I think we can beat New England but won’t. Peyton doesn’t like 3-4 fronts as much as the 4-3 and so we have a better chance slowing him down. McDaniels better have made this team more physical because games against the Ravens, Giants, and Redskins won’t be picnics. I think an 8 and 8 season to a 10 and 6 season is about the right range for this team. But who knows that’s why they play the game.

    Dee – I’m with you all the way. If you don’t think your team can win then why do you watch? Reality? The reality is that any team can win any Sunday and a new regime can equal more wins. Just ask Atlanta, Miami, and Baltimore if you don’t believe.

  • roshon2411

    One more thing on the Bears, they have one of the easiest schedules based on last years records. So much for that being a top 10 pick. Anything is possible but I wouldn’t put money on it.

    Also, what did Cutler do to Dilfer? Sleep with his mom? Watching the show on ESPN and he just predicted the Lions first win against Cutler and the Bears. Ha

  • BroncoinVA9986

    DEE and Nathan H…..there is first amendment right and one of you will be wrong….hopefully we will be 14-2…..Guys we can’t predict wins and losses until we have completed the draft and have season the first depth chart….

    Roshon2411 I agree but think about it a low first rounder can still be a difference maker,………………

  • BroncoinVA9986

    I am incoporating in my prays tonight one that includes aquiring Rashad Johnson

  • Kawike

    Any game can go to either, because the NFL is an extremely competitive league. Anybody remember the Rams kicking the crap out of the Cowboys who were supposed to go to the superbowl based on pre-season predictions?

    LMAO, that one is going up on the links tomorrow alm034.

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Josh Temple

    On a serious note, ouch. I’m going with 7-9 with us taking the first four games. Dallas has lost a bunch and not filled the holes this offseason.

  • RHINO

    I know we have a hard as hell schedule but this is the NFL where anything can happen. Nobody in their right mind had the Dolphins winning the east and going to the playoffs after going 1-15.

  • roshon2411

    WhidbeyBronco,

    Love It! Post 34. If this team wins more than 11 games with this schedule, Super Bowl Champs all the way!!! Cincy on the road opening week, we’ll find out how good this team is right away. A team your expected to beat. Pressure’s on McD!

  • http://broncotalk.net Ian Henson

    11-5, early prediction, let me break it down and I may come up with something else.

  • http://birty.blogspot.com mikebirty

    any given sunday. Any given sunday. 6th seed and who cares what the record is.

    Philly straight after christmas looks likes a nice road trip. They’ll all be tired out after beating up santa.

  • DC

    All you idiot McD fans don’t start hating on him when we go 6-12. That bus is yours to keep.

  • BoulderBronco

    Stav-
    A few comments on your “realistic” prediction…
    -If we split with KC it will be wins for each home team. We are horrible in KC and we will win at home. (we could win both games, Cassel won’t be as good in the KC system as people think)
    -Whats wrong with winning 4 straight? If we win the 1st 3 games then the team will build confidence in McD’s system which could easily let us win a home game against an over-rated Dallas team. (They’ve lost way too much this offseason to be better and they didn’t even make the playoffs last season)
    -SD is tough but division games are always close. We could still split this series.
    That puts us at 10-6 or 11-5 with an upset from your “realistic” prediction. I think we’ll be somewhere between 9-7 and 11-5 which could put us into the playoffs either way.

  • Ryan M.

    I have a sad prediction…the chiefs will sweep us this year:(
