Good point. Putin can cover the left side of the field. The Kimolester can cover the right.

10-7 with no playoffs was my call before the season started and I will stick with that…

Well this thread took a interesting turn :-)

Honestly, I think the foreigners would win easily. That LB corps is frightening.

I just can't see them winning 10. The schedule gets difficult after the first 3.
Where are the next 7 W's coming from?
Wash, Detroit, Cinn.,I can see, so that puts them at 6 wins and if u split with the West, that's 9. :-)

You knew they would be excited after the first 3...their next two opponents were 3-29 last year...both have a rookie QB and new HC.

Donks could go 14-3 if they just played these 3 teams all season.

It's a strong group. I think the ILBs are a bit undersized, but tough as nails. You don't want to end up under the pile with Genghis Khan and Josef Stalin.

Let’s say they go 3-0 … next stretch is brutal and should temper enthusiasm for the faithful.

WFT, CIN, DET, PHI, DAL are all winnable. I could see two splits in the division, maybe 3 if KC rests everyone in the final game.

Ravens in Denver, week 4… could be a potential upset.

Putin already has a SB ring though. Except it used to belong to Kraft. Probably my favorite and only Putin story.

Denver could lose to any team on that schedule. Teams without a QB or elite defense don't get auto wins assigned to them
[Reply]

Without a doubt…

After this season, I'd offer a late round pick to Denver for Lock. I'd love to see what he could do with the kid and what Lock would pick up from Mahomes.

Based off my understanding, Stalin was on the smallish side. Might be hard to shed blockers. He might be a better fit at Safety ala Mathieu.

The Tasmanian Devil of Looney Toons fame was also smallish. He didn’t have any trouble shedding blockers.

I don’t understand why you would say Denver doesn’t have an elite defense. And they seem to have, at minimum, a very serviceable QB. That leads to a very serviceable offense with the weapons this team has—Sutton, for examples seems to be jumping right back in at a pro bowl level and Fant was already there. The defense by all appearances is good enough not to require a spectacular offense.

Which is not to say Denver should be big favorites, but it seems to be a team that will compete week in and week out.
