    7-9, 8-8, probably miss the playoffs.

    That's what I see, but I didn't want my fan card scrutinized. Brave man.

    Lots of injuries on defense, questions about the offensive line and below average quarterback play. Could it all come together? Sure, but right now, I think that's a fair, if not positive, assessment of where Denver is right now.

    Yeah, but if you were a real Bronco fan you could have just as easily said 9-7 instead of 7-9.

    It's a tough schedule, but I can't bring myself to say "we'll lose to __________". Can't.

    Injuries on defense has me worried, assuming Wolf, Crick and Walker aren't long term injuries, then I think something like this:

    W - Week 1 - vs Chargers MNF late game
    W - Week 2 - vs Cowboys
    W - Week 3 - at Bills (11:00 MT)
    L - Week 4 - vs Raiders
    Week 5 - Bye
    W - Week 6 - vs Giants SNF
    L - Week 7 - at Chargers
    L - Week 8 - at Chiefs MNF
    W - Week 9 - at Eagles (11:00 MT)
    W - Week 10 - vs Patriots SNF
    W - Week 11 -vs Bengals
    L - Week 12 - at Raiders
    W - Week 13 - at Dolphins (11:00 MT)
    W - Week 14 - vs Jets
    L - Week 15 - at Colts TNF
    W - Week 16 - at Redskins (11:00 MT)
    W - Week 17 - vs Chiefs

    11-5, but could easily swing anywhere from 9-7 to 12-4. I put the likelihood of worse than 9 wins or better than 12 as pretty unlikely. So, I'l call the 9-12 win range as 80% confidence and more like 65% confidence level in the 11 wins.

    I need to see the 3rd pre-season game to know for sure. Bump this thread after that game. Then I can assess. For now Lose to the Giants, Chiefs, Pats, Bengals, Colts. 11-5
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    It's easy if you hate the Broncos, like MO.

    You really think we'll be swept by the Raiders and split with the Chargers? I think we split with the Raiders, sweep the Chargers and potentially Chiefs (probably a split though with the Chiefs).

    Yep. That's it.

    FTR, the Giants-Raiders stretch is a bitch.

    Yeah, it's gonna be a long year.

    How's the 2018 QB class looking?

    Basically this.

    I think however, that there's no point in being pessimistic at this point in the pre-season. You know fans are going to be buzzing around like a swarm of angry bees after someone hit their nest - after a couple of losses in which Trevor does not play like Aaron Rogers.

    So, there's no point worrying about it now.

    Right now, I saw some signs of improvement in the run game. The run defense should be better based on the personnel they've acquired, although if they keep suffering injuries to their front 7 that's problematic.

    Garrett Bolles, much against most expert NFL commentary, looks to be solid at the LT spot. For now. Right tackle seems more of a problem than left. They have a glut of good running backs, although no star RB like Dallas' Elliot. So much so that it's conceivable that Jamal Charles might not make the 53 man roster (although I think he will).

    As for the passing game, we've gone round and round on Trevor and Paxton. No point rehashing that.

    The biggest question is whether the pass defense will hold up. Right now every pass-rushing threat outside of Von Miller has been negated. They lost Malik Jackson as a penetrating DE pressure player and never replaced him. DeMarcus Ware retired. They tried to sign Calais Campbell during the offseason but failed. And Shane Ray and Shaqil Barrett have varying injuries. Right now the Broncos pass-rush is Von, and teams will double or triple team him every play until Denver proves they have a serious pass-rushing threat on the other side of the line.

    Potentially Lamar Jackson (Louisville), Sam Darnold (USC), Josh Rosen (UCLA), Jake Browning (Washington) and J.T. Barrett (Ohio State) are among the top quarterbacks in college. Not sure how they transfer to the NFL. Darnold is a sophomore, not sure if he's eligible to come out this year or not. Rosen and Browning are juniors, but could potentially come out of college this year.
