A 2-2 record over that time will have them lined up nicely for the playoffs. A 3-1 or better will have them in the driver's seat with a possible bye. Should be an interesting month.
A good look ahead at the schedule otherwise.
Yeah I tend to agree with you. I suppose a part of that statement comes from Brady just back from surgery as opposed to Brady a half a season back from surgery but November is a brutal month.
A 12 and 4 record would be sweet, but I still fear Pittsburgh more than Indy or Denver.
What's your basis for that? They usually have a hard time against us.

I'd rather have to play a playoff game in Heinz Field or Lucas Oil then have to go to Invesco again. I'm sure the entire team agrees.

Along these lines, I think it's clear that Shanahan was one of the more overrated coaches in the league. Playing in Denver is such a huge advantage--teams simply can't acclimate themselves that quickly to the atmosphere there. That's why Denver got clobbered in so many Super Bowls....teams weren't really all that good, but you could pencil them in for a bunch of wins at home, a bye, and then bam.
I agree we don't have a good history at Denver - but I think we are due for a win there. We lost a very winnable game and I think the team would not allow us to lose there again if the opportunity presented itself. But that why I'm a fan and not an expert...
Are you serious with this statement? From 1986 to 1998 you think altitiude was the number one reason Denver went to 5 SBs and won 2 and averaged 11 wins a year? C'mon...
I think playing in Denver is an ENORMOUS advantage for the team that plays there, that is unmatched in the league. Obviously the teams need talent/coaching, etc., as evidenced by the lackluster Broncos teams of the past few years. But it's a tremendous edge for them, yes.
