Broncos schedule
The Broncos could beat Oakland twice. They also could lose to Oakland twice. The pass defense is untested - and you recall how Rich Gannon had a field day against last year's pass "defense." The last two games of the year, at Indianapolis and Green Bay, won't be easy (the "frozen tundra" four days before New Years' - gulp). On the other hand, "Chucky" figured out how to beat Oakland's offense to win the Super Bowl and the quarterback position has been upgraded.
No undefeated season. Barring injuries and the usual caveats, I stand by 11-5. If at least one of the wins is against Oakland, the Broncos win the division.
I wish I could share your optimism. But I go back to the early days of Frank Tripucka at quarterback, Bears Stadium, and the Chiefs beating the Broncos 56-7 at least once or twice a year. Memories of Hank Stram ordering the onside kick in the 1966 56-10 loss at Bears Stadium still sick in my craw. In fact, sometimes I enjoy it more when they beat the Chiefs than when they beat the Raiders.airgator said:
