I call 10-6

Wow....5 Primetimes

No home game on Monday Night. What a bummer. I love Monday Night Football in Denver.

I think we lose to @NE, @Bal, @ KC, NO, Hous, @Atl

10-6

10-6

open v pittsburgh...fun, fun, fun

Travel-wise, this is a very favorable schedule. Our two coast-to-coast weeks: New England to San Diego has an extra day built in followed by the bye; and Oakland to Baltimore has a 10-day gap followed up by a home game. And our only September road game is in a dome. No hot and humid trips to Florida to start the season...

Only thing that bums me out is there will be no option for flex games at the end of the season.

I assume you mean just the Cleveland and KC games, because the San Diego and Baltimore games are flex candidates in my opinion.

82-0

Nah I mean we have five primetime games and a team can have no more than five. So flexing any game is not an option.

I'm stunned that Manning/Brady wasn't one of the games chosen for primetime and wasn't even scheduled for a day that it could be flexed. If there was one game I would've bet on to be NTL it was that one.

Minutes after the schedule was released, Head Coach John Fox went on NFL Network and Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway spoke with 850 KOA about the Broncos’ slate of games.

Below are the transcripts from those interviews.

HEAD COACH JOHN FOX:
On the schedule
“We just saw the schedule about 20 minutes ago. We were able to look at it just a little bit, then we’re still in the middle of grading defensive backs.”

It's an option for week 17 because the league HAS TO put whatever game has the most definite playoff implications in that slot. But I definitely hope we have the division wrapped up before that.
