toughest schedule?

Dont see us having an easy year!

Does anyone think we have the toughest schedule in the nfl. I personally think we have one of the toughest. With our conference getting a whole lot better this year and the fact that we play most of the teams that were in the playoffs last year,( Steelers, Ravens, Falcons, Cardinals) I see it being a tough season. As much as I want to believe that we can pull it off this year, I dont think its going to be an easy road.

Yes,we have one of the worse schedules in the NFL.Not to be a dick but you forgot the Eagles.Plus we face the Vikings twice,and the,Packers twice.49ers also with should be a good game and the Seahawks never seem to go down ez.I don’t see how everyone is saying (omg there schedule is sooo ez),anybody who knows.Football knows that this isn’t a ez schedule by any means.

For the most part

I have been hearing analysts say that we statistically have one of the easier schedules this year. I agree that isn’t taking into account that Green Bay is going to be a lot better than they were last year and Minnesota might be too.

That said, some teams don’t get to play any NFC West teams much less the Lions twice. Through in the Browns/Bengals and the middle of our schedule looks pretty winnable.

It is nice seeing the NFC North getting back into good form. Like gaclaudy was saying, if the Packers and Viqueens are giving us better competition, then we should benefit from it. Plus more of our games will be exciting to watch.

I think we have one of the hardest schedules bar none, we play the 0-16 Lions twice, which significantly reduces the overall win pct of opponents. however we play all NFC/AFC Championship teams, plus eagles,

With your theory...

wouldn’t Detroit have the toughest schedule? Just saying.

Also, here’s an older piece by Bucky Brooks on this years schedule difficulty rankings.

not bitching

but we do not have the easiest schedule.
Wow, dallas? get in line with the rest of America every year, sucking on the cowboy teet. they suck, accept it.
Indy has peyton manning, and no coaching, they should be beatable. along with the skins, and the eagles. so that would but your un highlighted wins plus three, allowing for up to 11 wins.

so i dont wanna hear about a tough/easy schedule.

lol @ dallas crack

i appreciate the enthusiasm for denver’s schedule. i’m actually in 100% agreement with that bucky brooks article — predicting strength of schedule by last year’s performance is highly unreliable. your division rivals will obviously be harder than anything the AFC West has to offer.

by lolcopter on Sep 8, 2009 11:10 AM CDT up reply actions

(because that is one easy prediction to make — afc west is the worst division in the NFL)

by lolcopter on Sep 8, 2009 11:12 AM CDT up reply actions

on paper anyways

The only three teams i never even accept will have a winning season are:
Packers, Vikings, Patriots… even when they do… they dont.
all the luck to denver in tipped passes and fumble calls in their direction
