As I said, TNF against the Jets very early on (which are the NFLN-only games, not simulcast on Fox/Amazon Prime) and the MNF week one undercard barely count as prime time games. We’re in agreement overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Mid-market franchise that hasn’t been to the playoffs in five years. Not sure what the expectation should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsthomp2007 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Really like the Raider match up. Pour some sugar on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan- not sure what we can realistically complain about or Ellis could expect. Denver just got off another losing season, and hasn't been in the playoffs since the SB win. That we have 3 primetime games says more to me than anything, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncos67 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I personally don't find the schedule to be too awful, mainly because I think some of the teams won't be as good as advertised, but you never know. The Titans are one of those teams. I am happy to have that game to start the season. @PIT is tough on a short week. The TB game I can go either way with. Brady is historically bad in Denver, and TB ain't NE. Back half of the schedule is also very favorable and the bye comes at a nice time. On a personal note, I love the schedule. A lot of games I can reasonably go to on the East Coast- NYJ, NE, PIT are all within 5 hours of me driving. CAR I am going to with a buddy, and probably going to try and hit the Saints game in DEN or the Raiders game in LV for my birthday. The bummer for me is the London game. Wife asked me out of the blue if I wanted to go over to London for the game and obviously that was a yes. Could have met up with George. Guess it will have to wait for next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomaxgrUK Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Still pains me looking at this, as I was nailed on for box tickets for our London game. My sister is Head of HR for the steel company that built Tottenham's stadium and had already sorted it with her bosses 😭😭😭 I prefer less primetime games as I can't watch them live due to the fact they start at 1.30am over here.

champ11 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 seems pretty tough but I always feel like schedule release vs how it actually goes in the NFL is always a tough call. so much variance in this league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and hey, guess who gets the biggest advantage 🙄 Looking through this a little more in-depth, ugh. Week 7 at home to KC, maybe a chance for a statement win before the bye! Well, KC plays TNF the week before, so they get the extra long week to prep. Week 11, at home to LAC, probably a game that will have playoff implications: Chargers coming off the bye. Week 14, coming off what will probably be losses to NO and KC, we’ve got a winnable game in CAR: Panthers coming off the bye. Week 16 at LAC, probably crunch time for both teams, gotta get that W: LAC plays TNF the week before. Three divisional games with significantly fewer rest days than the opponent is BRUTAL. Like, we’re not even just talking the short week after MNF, this is after byes and TNF. Schedule makers did us zero favours here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullsandBroncos Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I'm either going to watch us against NE or NYJ. Not sure which one. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
