That's not a legit argument because you have to take out the wins by the Broncos. It also neglects the fact that the Broncos are the 3/4th best team in the league. And for comparisons sake, the Chiefs play damn near the same schedule.

Which, as many predicted, would be easier than the teams on paper.

Don't get me wrong - I think Denver will be in the final 4 of the AFC - but saying this schedule was brutal isn't accurate...

I think when you compound all the factors its been pretty damn brutal. Really everyone's schedule is brutal after re-alignment, scheduling rules, and the salary cap implementations.

The reason we're in this position is 3 fold: A number 2 pick success, a defense that had to defend for Tim Tebow, and 75% Peyton Manning leadership/presence.

I am really interested in how we perform against the Old Browns. If they best us we're solidly the number 4 team in the AFC and might face Indy. Losing those games to the Pats and Texans was huge. Imagine if they were scheduled now instead? I think the Broncos beat the Texans, but still lose to the Pats and that's the bye week. One game...that's brutal.

Sounds like a Tim Teabag fan to me...
