Broncos Opponents 2012

[redrum52]

I cant wait to see Tebow mania halted next year when they have a real schedule. Their play the AFC North and NFC South, with the two others being the Patriots and Texans. I had initially said Tebow wouldn't make it halfway through the season before being benched, but now I hope they let him play out the season so people can see what he he can/can't do(throw the the football). The teams in their division I feel will be much better, KC getting their players back, Palmer with another year in the system and Norv knowing this is his last shot(and hopefully players remaining healthy). This is a pretty tough schedule even for a good team and I can't wait for Suggs to finally get his shot at the "Chosen One".

Off topic our schedule is brutal next year but wouldn't have it any oher way. The last time we faced this schedule we had our worst year under Harbaugh making the post season at 9-7 but I still see the team being able to finish 12-4. Can't wait til the draftm

Seems to me Tebow threw the ball pretty well against the last AFC North team he played.

I will admit he made some good passes but that slant wasn't one of em. That was terrible defense that the Steelers had been playing all game. That was made because of Thomas' athleticism. Lebeau pulled a Cam and refused to adjust to what was beating him. Also, something was off with Pitt that year after we Big Ben'd em at the bank.

I thought we went 9-7 when we had to play the NFC North? I also think the Broncos may only win 4 games with that schedule. The NFC South could sweep them if Tampa can step up.

I dont know why people hate him so much lol. And judging by his work ethic, he'll be even better next year. Cant wait for Tebow Time.
I hate how tough his schedule is because I'm keeping him in fantasy lol. Only benching him twice next year. Vs the Ravens and when he's on his bye.

You're right, it was the Afc West and Nfc North. I thought it was weird they spent no money with the cap room they had and probably didn't want to get in a hole especially if they didn't think Morris would be coming back.

I don't hate him and actually thought he could do well if he got to sit behind a vet for a few years. I do however highly dislike Skip and the media hyping him up to be so great when he isn't. An example of this is Jeremy Lin can play and is contributing without the team having to change its philosophy to fit just one player. The team is being operated around Tebow on offense, but what happens if he's injured? I know the same can be said about other qb driven teams but this is different. Anyway, I don't see them winning more than 6 games with him as their starter.

The last time we faced the AFC West, we also played the NFC North (2009). We swept the West and went 2-2 against the North, ultimately finishing 9-7. Now we play the AFC West again, but the NFC East instead of the North.

The coverage is a little crazy I'll admit it. It doesnt bother me though because I'm a fan of his. But he has been great. When looking at the numbers that matter (wins) he has delivered. No other young QB has ever been this criticized in the NFL ever. His rookie year at the very end came in and won a few games. Then there was a lock-out. He couldnt get help from his coaches to improve his arm. But he still took a 1-5 team to the playoffs and beat the #1 defense defending afc champions in the wild card round. I think he's done great so far.

This schedule we had back in 2008, Harbaugh's first year. We went 11-5 including an impressive 3-1 against the NFC East, and well ironically the Giants were the defending Champs back then and now here we are again facing them as the defending champions.

Regarding Tebow, Tebow is going to improve in the off-season. Remember Tebow didn't have an off-season due to the lockout so now that he'll have time to improve I think he is going to be a better player. Right now I have Denver winning the division at 9-7 or 10-6 and the only reason I say that is because the Chargers kept Norv, KC is ok but not good enough to win the division and Oakland is the only team who can win the division other than Denver.

Tebow might have a better completion percentage next season but he will never be a 'better' thrower. He has had that throwing motion since back in high school & when it comes to being able to throw the football or not... you usually have it or you don't. He might be able to improve in certain areas and I think he'll be able to produce some big plays from time to time. But from every snap stand point I don't think he is the answer. He is a great athlete and I admire his fight though.
