Thread: MMQB season predictions

    Default MMQB season predictions

    https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/06/07/nf...tions-analysis

    DENVER BRONCOS: 4–12
    The Broncos never figured out their quarterback situation last year, and even the third-ranked scoring defense couldn’t help them muster more than five wins and a dead-last finish in the AFC West. What was telling in Vance Joseph’s first season was the eight-game losing streak in the middle of the season after starting 3-1. (Also telling was Denver getting just one road win, against the hapless Colts in Week 15.) Case Keenum is coming off a season no one saw coming, and I’m not sure I anticipate it happening again for the 30-year-old quarterback.


    I dont see us this bad, but pushing .500 is more likely. 7-9 to 9-7 at best.

    Way to early to tell at this point, but its at least a talking point this far from anything that matters.

    Ouch. I don't think my optimism can accept this.

    So we got better in basically every area and we're supposed to finish worse this year?

    I guess it's possible...I mean, we on paper got better in every area last year and went from 9-7 to 5-11...

    Hooray for Vance Joseph!

    I still don't see us finishing worse than 9-7. I think we're hit 12-4 and playoffs personally. We have an easy schedule.

    I really believe we'll be improved, but man our coaching makes me so nervous.

    Yea, that's the biggest issue.

    Our position coaches and coordinators are great and I trust all of them (well...woods...meh) If we had a solid head coach, this would be a contender, but VJ...guy is an idiot.

    Well....perhaps Vance Joseph has improved as a HC.

    I get the concern because last year he looked lost. I am hoping he has improved.

    4-12 is certainly in the range of possible outcomes for this team, but it's a stretch to say that's our predicted outcome. I'd agree around .500 seems more likely, but with VJ I wouldn't totally rule out the bottom falling out either.

    Perhaps, and perhaps my skill at picking lottery numbers will make me rich.

    Pretty early to try to predict, but I could see a similar record to last season. Not sure they’ll get worse, though.

    It’s a joke, Nomad. No one in the NFL purposefully tanks.

    Besides, we can get Jake at 10.

    There is always hope, Frey.

    I know. I was being facetious, because I would get wound up last year when folks would mention it.
