13 Dec 06 DEN @ KC Arrowhead Stadium 1:00 PM
14 Dec 13 DEN @ IND Lucas Oil Stadium 1:00 PM
15 Dec 20 OAK @ DEN Invesco Field at Mile High 4:05 PM
16 Dec 27 DEN @ PHI Lincoln Financial Field 1:00 PM
17 Jan 03 KC @ DEN Invesco Field at Mile High 4:15 PM

That's a quality cut and paste right there.

Six(!!!) 11am games. I can't believe that. That's almost an unreal number. Six.

Two Monday nighters and the Thanksgiving tilt with the Jints they announced earlier. Three prime-time games is down from years past. You've got former QB, uniform number six to thank for that.

The real problem though, is weeks 4-12. Denver could lose seven of those eight weeks. See if you can spot the week we don't lose.

They'll probably take at least a couple of those games, but that's a pretty tough stretch. Drawing the AFC North and NFC East in the rota doesn't make the rebuild go any smoother.

Best case, 9-7. Worst case, 4-12

11am games mean Im on beer #4 before noon. Thanks, NFL.

You better be on #6 by then to tolerate some of the ass-whippings coming this way.

I see no way we sniff .500.

It's hard to care about the late games when you lose at 11am, though.

And I think we'll be losing at 11am. A lot.
