Look in the mirror, Broncos fans. The home portion of the 2008 schedule is all about you.
“The opinion of our season-ticket holders regarding home night games — that less is better — was loud and clear,” said Joe Ellis, who heads the Broncos’ business operations. “We relayed their message, and we’re pleased the league heard our fans’ wishes by giving us all afternoon games at home.”
The Broncos play three prime-time road games — the season-opener, Monday, Sept. 8, at Oakland; Monday, Oct. 20, against the (gulp!) New England Patriots; and Thursday, Nov. 6, at Cleveland.
NBC’s flex TV schedule could move one of the following Sunday games in Denver to prime time: Oakland, Week 12; Kansas City, Week 14 or Buffalo, Week 16.
A quick guess on the Broncos’ record based on their schedule: 9-7. They’ll need a good draft to get one more win for a playoff berth.
