Whatever happened to Michael Lombardi anyway? He was on TV all the time for a few years (his takes consistently sucked) then I thought some team actually hired him as a GM?

Doing a little research..and besides the crazy 48 to 0 AFCW stat of Denver never starting 3-4 on the road, I found this...
Denver has had back-to-back home games to open the season in 3 consecutive years!! Basically this means they haven't had to play in an opponents stadium for their opener for THREE seasons. Conversely KC has back-to-back home openers on the road this year. Here's the list of teams that had back-to back home games to start the year. 2016 - Broncos,Texans, Cardinals. Redskins 2017 - Broncos, Bengals, Rams 2018 - Broncos, Saints Notice no other team has even had this twice? It would be one thing if the NFL wasn't aware of what conditioning issues arise while playing in high altitude, ESPECIALLY early in the season...but what looks like a deliberate attempt to schedule them to capitalize on this advantage is foul. They went 3-1 last year..and all three wins were at home...then went 2-10. Last edited by BlackOp; 09-14-2018 at 12:49 AM.. |

As far as Carlos Henderson goes... The guy averaged nearly 20 yards per catch and led the NCAA with 19 receiving TD's his junior year. He was compared to Antonio Brown coming out. It's a shame drugs or whatever his issues are derailed him. |

If I want to really maximize that geographical advantage... why wouldn't I want to do it late in the season when it's cold and teams are beat up and tired? I think you've got this whole 'league loves Denver' thing twisted up - they limit the home games late to prevent an even greater home field advantage. 2018: 3 out of 5 road games in December 2017: 3 out of 5 road games in December (4 of final 6 on road) 2016: 3 out of 5 road games in December It's not how teams start, it's how they finish... If the league loved Denver, the HOF would overflow with orange and blue. If the league loved Denver, they wouldn't have had the SB blastings of the late 80s and in 2013. Yeah? If the league loved Denver as so many of you claim... there would be more focus on December home games in Denver. Party on, Wayne. |

Maybe in a sprint, but not in an endurance race. The NFL season is more like an endurance race where finishing strong is what’s important, because that’s how you start your post season run.

So, you want to say that Denver has this early advantage... ok, fine. 2018: 3 out final 4 in KC 2017: 3 out final 4 in KC 2016: 3 out final 4 in KC 2015: 3 out final 4 in KC 2014: 2 out final 4 in KC For the last 4 seasons, KC has enjoyed 75% of their final 4 games in Arrowhead. Cold, chilly, ugly Arrowhead in December. 12 of the 16 end of season games for the last 4 years have been there - not on the road. Are you telling me that this in no way helps KC and is better for KC than starting off with the reverse schedule? I would absolutely love knowing that this year and for each of the last 3 years, Denver plays 75% of their final 4 games - a full quarter of the season at home when it's cold. If you want to talk 5k's and 100 yard dashes, have it ... a 17 week NFL season is not a 'race'. |

Was wondering when someone would bring that up.
I thought it was something like that but too lazy to look it up. |
