Peyton's Schedule As A Bronco

[chad72]

Home: Chargers, Chiefs, Raiders, Ravens, Bengals, Falcons, Panthers, Texans

Road: Chargers, Chiefs, Raider, Browns, Steelers, Saints, Bucs, Patriots

Only 7 PLAYOFF TEAMS from last year .

If he makes the playoffs with this schedule, props to him.

Ironic that the teams he would have faced in the 2011 Colts’ season is who he is facing in 2012 as a Bronco, 8 in particular – AFC North and NFC South with the NFC South teams playing at home and on the road identical to the Colts 2011 season .

I guess playing 7 playoff teams doesn’t matter that much when you only have to be the best in your own division, none of whom had winning records last year.

[CCH]

Peyton is scheduled to come back to Indy in 2013, should be interesting to say the least

[MAC]

Looks tough based on last year, but you never know what the teams will like until the year gets going. Just consider the Saints problems, and the Chargers losing Jackson, and the Texans losing Williams. If Peyton is himself (and it doesn't take "too" long to get the offense up to speed), he could be right back to 12 wins.

[Happy2BeHere]

He is in one of the weakest divisions in football...and I am sure that had a lot to do with his decision.

[hawkeyes]

9-7 at best ... sorry PM - with the 49ers you would have been at least 12-4 without seeing their schedule.

[colts_mp]

Only 1 dome game and that's at NO.. Gonna be a change of pace.

[Fx Stryker]

5-1 in the division. I think the Chargers are their only problem. 3-1 in the NFC South. Saints pose the only threat, unless they don't get things worked out. 2-2/3-1/4- in the AFC North. Ravens maybe hard, but Peyton always lights them up. Steelers possibly if they get their act straight. 1-1 against Pats and Texans. I see a good season for the Broncos. 13-3, 12-4, 11-5 is the least I see them doing.

[Moncrief]

Oh Peyton why couldn't you have just signed with the 9ers.

That O-line could have gotten him killed, IMO, not the best pass blocking O-line. He is not as mobile as Alex Smith is.

Yes, from a running game and D point of view, but not from the passing game point of view. His chance for a SB appearance is greater in the weaker AFC.

[supremecoltsfan300]

Yea really tough schedule but I expect at least 10 wins. AFC West is now the 4-5th best Division. The worst three are the NFC West, AFC South, and AFC East looking at it for just next year.

Our O-line has been subpar for a few years, but Peyton's quick release has helped

Stop drinking and posting.

AFC East is going to be competitive.

The Bills look great

The Pats will look good as always.

The Jets will improve.

Have to disagree. Pats are good but that's it. Dolphins arent even going to have a qb or a reciever to throw too. Jets still have sanchez, a defense that will be older and just not as good, and the bills just got mario, they're still pretty bad.

[Andy]

I said it before, the Broncos have arguably the toughest schedule in the league, so I saw that as a reason for PM to not join them. Guess he's not scared of them.

And ironically the other Manning has the other hardest schedule in the league.

[FairleySuhper]

They won't even win their own division. I think they win four games tops.

Well Peyton can win four games in his sleep so I think they will win more than that.

Ouch if that happened. Major ouch.

[Vance]

He won 2 games in 2011 telepathically, but you're right one Rex Grossman is equal to about four sleepQBing Peyton Mannings.

I would actually rather take the sleeping Peyton. At least he won't throw picks like there's no tomorrow

Wait...crap, I meant four Rexes equal one Pey...ahhh it's ruined now.

That schedule is pretty brutal. Even a bad team like Cleveland has an excellent secondary. And the Chiefs

will be back at full strength, and the Raiders will be better, too. And you can never discount the Chargers.

And they have to play really tough out of conference teams. Seriously, that schedule is brutal.

[Susie Q]

Ouch if that happened. Major ouch.

O come on Jules you would be laughing and you know it. JT

[Bryan Bolesta]

he should of gone to the 49ers. denver had nothing compared to what the 49ers had to offer....except money...so i believe thats what made the decision. no way the eli factor had to do with it. 49ers are to good for him to say no just cuz his brother is in the conference. Only other reason is maybe the 49ers werent willing to let him ahve full control of the offense. i doubt it though because they wouldnt go after him if that was the case. shows you that even the players you think arent about the money are just fakers....

[21isSuperman]

that's alright. I've probably made more mistakes in posting than anyone else on the forums

To bad lost a WR & blocking Huge TE ( to pats ), hopefully take wallace, Saturday, Clark, he wishes he had wayne

This is all u will here from me , situation worse at home, bye-- no time to respond really & wont be around too

Excellent point!! I have continuously said 85% of Peyton Manning is still better than 90-95% of the NFL QBs, The mastery of the line of scrimmage and as you say "his quick release" keep him safe.

[Peyton and Eli fan]

He's planning to play at least 4 more years. You can't base your decision based on 1 year's schedule

[Superman]

Preseason strength of schedule never holds up. There's usually at least four teams a year that take a huge step back, and another four teams that come out of nowhere to contend for a playoff spot. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bengals, Texans and Falcons miss the playoffs next season.

Oh WHAT THE...I don't even...GUHH...pff....??!

Who is winning the AFCS then?!

By that time we should be a MUCH better team. We will be able to go out and get some stud Free Agents in 2013 offseason, and we will have more high draft picks to load up. Plus Andrew Luck will be one year better. I predict a win!

[Jules]

O come on Jules you would be laughing and you know it. JT

Depends on the circumstances. I do love though when teams with high offseason expectations fall short. The not so dreamy dream teams.
