If healthy, Manning will make these fringe players better. Hell, Demaryius Thomas racked up 300 yards in two playoff games with Tebow throwing him the ball. It'll be interesting to watch, that's for sure. |

Denver played a mediocre schedule last year.
Offenses played conservative, since Denver's offense was shit. Against Manning the other teams are going to attack again. I see them going 8-8 again. |

The played the exact same "difficult" schedule we did - save two games. And their two extra opponents combined for an 18-14 record, while ours combined for a 14-18 record. |

You don't just plug in Manning, do a training camp and some preseason games, and then go.
That's a complicated offense they'll be running, and a lot of the direction is going to have to come from Manning himself. Mike McCoy, while a fantastic offensive coordinator, is unfamiliar with this playbook and can only do so much. I'm disappointed we don't have any early games against the Broncos, because I think they'll be weak and vulnerable to start the season. As the year progresses, however, they'll finally start to click if Manning is at full strength. Time will tell if they can click into an offensive groove and be what the Colts were come the playoffs. It may very well take two seasons to see the full potential of that team. |

McGahee and Knowshon are average backs. Well, McGahee is an average back. Knowshon is terrible.

Denver is a much better franchise overall then KC, though.
In time they will eventually go back to SB's while the Chiefs are left with their dicks in hand. |

If calling the 4th leading rusher in the AFC "average" makes you feel better about him playing for a rival, so be it. |

Denver is probably going to be better then us because they have the one component that matters. If he is healthy, they will be tough to beat. Teams will play them differently, though. The opposition will attack knowing that they have to keep up. The defense will take a step back IMO. Let's not forget the "Peyton" factor, which is the fact that the officials will bend over backwards to protect him, and Denver will probably get a lot of ticky-tack defensive holding and PI calls to go their way. |

The Ravens have been wrong about RBs plenty of times before, so it's possible they were just idiots, I guess. |

PFF gave the Donks run blocking a shitty grade last year.
It's entirely possible, without the option threat, their running game goes to shit.

The same board that claimed before the season 7-9 would be a success with that schedule?
