If the Eagles don't make the NFCCG or better, I think Sirianni will be shown the door.

Whoever came up with that Tua/ JJ Watt commercial should be waterboarded.

Wilson held the team back last year
The roster is unproven because of the young players, it isn't devoid of talent. Roster does however lack depth due to the Wilson contract eating up a big chunk of the salary cap.

I'm sure you know that Denver plays KC tough and has been a play from winning a handful of games the last few years, only one W though. We always play the Chargers tough and sometimes sweep them, Harbaugh is a stud but Chargers gonna Charger. Raiders have Denvers number though, 8 game losing streak...yikes.

Sean Payton has never won less than 7 games, don't sell him short.

I think they can win 6 games easy and if some of the young talent shapes up they could win 10 and surprise everybody.

I know you're not trying to be a dick, that comes natural to you. Can't wait for the season and the AFC west matchups, we will see how they pan out.

Nix is the first Rookie QB to start for Denver in the season opener since this guy, maybe you remember this guy?

I would bet you $50 that Denver gets at least 6 wins if you are interested.
Do you realize that Reid breaks out the middle school offensive playbook when they play teams that are not very good. He's not trying to put anything good on tape. It's exclusively shit that is basic and already on film.

I thought Bo Nix was black until I saw this pic.

Most people either don't know this or refuse to accept it. That's one reason they almost never cover a spread and why shitty teams hang around more than they should. Andy saves his ammo.

Many of the best coaches do this

If you are using that as an excuse or reason as to why Denver has played KC tough then you are forgetting the games that were close. Playbook was open and the game was just close. Andy Reid isn't the reason a late turnover swings a football game, and that has been the case a few times.

Division games are always close across all divisions. And when one team has been dominant, and the other a doormat, many times the motivation is higher for the struggling team. All of KC's division opponents have been pretty tough outs in at least one matchup per season. Last year the Broncos just completely outplayed the Chiefs in one of the games.

I think most teams try their hardest with scheme and effort in division games, they are very important for obvious reasons. Reid doesn't like the Broncos and gives it his all IMO. He was around when Manning was playing and Denver had their number.

Maybe, Mahomes was a bit sick that game. Broncos were on their little run. Division was kinda close so I don't think Andy was pulling punches.

Couple years earlier Drew Lock was about to put them up two scores with two minutes left and a blown blocking assignment led to another Melvin gordon fumble and Bolton took almost to the house to swing the game. Andy was coaching all out that game IMO, Denver just gave it away.

Either way, looking forward to the rivalry games this year. Nix has a little tiny bit of mahomes in his game IMO, quick release and can throw from all platforms.
