The Broncos have not opened a season at Invesco Field at Mile High since 2004. It’s time for the NFL schedule man to stop sticking it to Bronco fans. (With all due respect, Mr. Katz).

I would LOVE a home opener. I would be sure to go to that game, and monday night against the bears would be so sick!!

Jets vs. Broncos game on Monday Night would be sick, too. Revenge of the Broncos!

Never forget that game against the Jets in Oct. Broncos should have won that game!

Last October, Broncos had it until last minute of 4th quarter. Renaldo Hill got flagged for Pass Interference on the south side and they lost big time. I believe that Broncos can get revenge on Jets and get a big W on Monday Night.

I'd love to see a Monday night home opener, OR a home opener on Sunday against the Bears. Since the Bears are an NFC team, a Chicago game in Denver would be telecast by Fox, so no conflict with the US Open Tennis championship like there always is on CBS.

We'll find out 5 pm Denver Time on Tuesday when the schedule is announced.

I hated it when the NFL moved from a Labor Day weekend start to its season a few years back to the week after Labor Day. Start the season on Labor Day weekend, like the old days, and there is no conflict with US Open Tennis.

I believe our "vaunted' offense is going to sstruggle to see 14+ points a game this year, and that would probably be wittled down to 4 against a defense like the Jets.

I would have to say that right now... Orton is already starting to limp in getting prepared for the beating he will get in THAT game.

OF course his three pick sixes willbe excused as "Give ups" by his recievers...

Oh poor us having to endure 13 years since our last title. I'm sure fans of the Browns, Seahawks, Cardinals, Bills, and teams like that are really weeping for us.

Given the fact that there are 30 NFL teams so statistically you would win 1 title every 30 years, and we've won 2 in the last 15 years, I consider myself very blessed as a football fan.

Exactly. How long was it before the Patriots won their first? Hell, how long was it between SB victories for the Steelers, 30 years? When was the last time the 3 time SB winning, Cowboys, won the Super bowl.. or the 4 time 49ers?

Not sure if that's good or bad, starting off with the team that went 6-0 in the division last year. But anythings better than south florida at that time of year.

Umm, how about no.

Last I checked, as I'm sure some of these guys might get resigned or have been, the Faid could/will be losing:

Robert Gallery
Michael Huff
and biggest of all, their best defensive player, Nnamdi Asomugha.

That's 2 quality starters and a top 3 CB in my book. I'm sure there are several other lower tier players they are losing as well. Bottom line their talent level is actually dropping this season. Asomugha is not going to be easy to replace.

The Faid should still be favored in the opener, but you sir, are incorrect.

SO far they have not lost anyone to FA because there is none. Might not be till after the season is over but then the season may not even start.

If they play football this year they may be FA to the CFL.

Even if they lose them their D is still better than what we will have the early in the season. I recall that Seymor resigned for a long term contract and so far he has owned our OL. IF your QB is flat on his back it is hard to make throws.

Remember we are in our 3rd different scheme in 4 years.

Careful not to be too quick to bash....there's a good possibility we could bust on the #2 pick. We sucked last year and could suck for a long time if we strike out on this draft.
