Crazy Prediction Time! Homers and Realists Welcome!

[MasterShake]

Ok, just over a month to preseason and the time of year I like to predict the future of the Broncos. Instead of the usual "How many wins/losses" I just want when you think our first loss will be and also our final win of the season and what place we finish in.

I KNOW ITS TOO EARLY TO TELL FOR SURE, THIS IS JUST FOR FUN! :D

I'll start:

First loss of the season- vs Patriots Week 5
Final win of the season- vs Chiefs Week 16
Final Standing- 2nd place (Wild Card, What the Hell)

[drewloc]

Great idea Shake! Here is mine.

First Loss - vs Dallas week 4
Final Win - at Philly week 16
Final Standing - 2nd place (miss wild card)

[Northman]

First loss: Vs Cincinnati week 1
Final win: Vs Kansas City week 16
Final Standing: 5-11 3rd place (miss playoffs)

[NameUsedBefore]

First Loss: Cincinnati Week 1.
Final Win: KSC Week 17.
Final Standing: 4-12 in a tie with one of the other teams in the division.

[Lonestar]

First Loss: Cincinnati Week 1.
Final Win: OAK Week 15.
Final Standing: 5-11 in miss playoffs...


this is as we speak....

[SR]

5-12 huh jr? Did they extend the season to 17 games? ;)

First loss: Week one against Cinci
Final win: Week 15 against the Raiders
Final standing: 7-9...third place behind the Chargers and Chiefs

[titan]

First loss: Cincinnati week 1
Final win: Kansas City week 16
Final Standing: 8-8 (2nd place behind chargers, miss playoffs)

I think there's just too many new faces combined with a difficult schedule to expect a playoff team this season.

Ok, records are ok to predict but stick to the rules too. First loss, final win, and final standing. I guess if you want say if we make the playoffs too.

[TXBRONC]

Final record 8-8.

[underrated29]

first loss- Baltimore
final win-KC
10-11 wins- I cant decide if we lose to the pats. I think we do and get 10 W.

We might face some really tough defenses. But we dont face too many teams with really good offenses like, NE, INDY etc. If we had Jay i would say 11 for sure. But i dont know how fast Kyle will grasp this.

We win a playoff game and and then fold.

Wow, that would be cool to be 6-0 going into the bye week! :lol:

I wonder how many in the media would be scrambling to get their story straight, things like, "I told you Denver would be a dark horse team! I knew they made the right decisions!"

[FanInAZ]

19-0 BABY!

WARHORSE,

Please, hand your car keys to the bar tender and call a cab!

First loss of the season- vs Cleveland Week 2
Final win of the season- vs Chiefs Week 16
Final Standing- 2nd place and a Wild Card birth

[T.K.O.]

ok lets see....
crazy prediction....oakland wins 6 games
realistic prediction....broncos go 10-6 and win the division and 1 playoff win !

[Dean]

Ok, records are ok to predict but stick to the rules too. First loss, final win, and final standing. I guess if you want say if we make the playoffs too.

First loss = Cinci

Final win will be immaterial by that time

Final standings = 6 and 10 with yet another poor defensive effort

[Thnikkaman]

First Loss - Patriots
Last Win - Playoffs
Final Standings - 11 - 5 and the devision.

I'm gonna play my homer card, but we are going to surprise like the Rockies in June.

[broncofanatic1987]

First and only loss: Week 10 at Washington
Final win: Week 17 vs Kansas City
Homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.
Super Bowl Champs!!!:elefant::elefant::elefant::elefant:

Super Bowl: San Diego Chargers over Chicago Bears



for the Bronco part that looks about right to me as we speak..

do not think the bolts or bears will see super Bowls lights unless the buy ticket to the game..

[NameUsedBefore]

I think the Bears could be shooting for the SB namely because the NFC doesn't have the firepower of the AFC (Colts, Patriots, Chargers, Steelers, Ravens etc.). Pretty interesting to see where they got the Cardinals pegged, though. Same for Jacksonville; people always got them going places but they never do.
