Yeah the schedule looks pretty good for us. I like the Thursday night roadie game early in the year, just wish it wasn't a divisional game but oh well, the chiefs aren't that much to worry about. I never look past the Charger games, I always call it a win if we can at least split with them. I am happy that week 17 game against the Chargers is a home game, that one could effect our divisional standings and playoff seeding. Our record against NE at home in recent years had been good, just doesn't happen all that often. Green Bay will be tough as you mentioned but again, it's at home so that helps.We will know more or less what to expect when we go to Chicago where Fox is now. Not sure how the away game at Pittsburgh will go, just have to wait and see how they are playing. We don't seem to do well against Indy, I don't really see this year being much different unless we change the game plan and run more, as long as that's working. Overall I think we could go 13-3 this year. That is losses at Indy, NE, and 1 slop.

I'll form my opinion on the Chargers this year after I see Rivers starting Week 1, until then I'm reserving judgement. They are a mess right now with the awful ownership. Can't even return Eric Weddles phone calls. SAD. If only SD could rid the Chargers of the Spanos family things may be so much different, but I'm starting to believe that under that family ownership winning will never be a priority. Rivers loses a good reliable receiving target after every season is seems. And with the unsettled future location of the team, what will the "San Deigo" Chargers be playing for. I sincerely see a 15-1 type of possible record for the Broncos this year, if we are able to stay healthy at key positions. I'll probably be wrong but at first glance of that schedule in April, I see 15 wins as a strong possibility.

the Chargers are a good team that is held back by their owners. I never underestimate their ability to take a game from a well known opponent. 15 wins is pretty lofty, stuff happens and it's easy to say that if nobody gets hurt we can win that many, but players always get hurt and some team almost always steals one from you that you weren't expecting. I think 12-13 wins and the AFC West crown is pretty likely.
