Sanchez is better now then when he was with the Jets. Sanchez never won a division crown. He made playoffs with Jets as wild cards and never made it to the Superbowl. The Denver Defense last year is better than the Jets Defense was when Rex and Sanchez took Jets to the playoffs many years ago. Assuming the Denver Defense NOW is still better than that old Jets Defense, they should be able to make the playoffs with Sanchez. Theoretically Sanchez should do better in/with Denver than he has done before, but saying he will win the division and or make the Superbowl, let alone win it, is preposterous right now. This why I think they take 5th or more likely 6th playoff seed.

Jets will only get a playoff shot with Fritz at the helm and until the paperwork is signed I won't make that prediction. Can't trust Geno

I didnt say the Broncos will certainly win the SB or the West. What I said was it seems foolish to me to call it a race between Oakland and KC.

I don't see how it's preposterous to suggest they're still preseason favorites to win the West. Defensively, what they lost was replaced adequately. Crick and Nelson replacing Trevathan and Jackson is not the end of the world, and Wolfe was much more important to their defense in 2015 than Jackson was. They return all other defensive starters from 2015. This is a defense that one year ago was perhaps among the greatest of all time, and in large part won the SB single handedly. I'll give that level of dominance the benefit of the doubt any day of the week.

The offense has question marks but in my opinion not enough to dismiss them as contenders and say the West comes down to OAK and KC. I believe Kubiak will get the most out of Sanchez, he's a hell of a coach. Guy got a playoff win out of TJ Yates!

Very well then I suppose preposterous is the wrong word, should have wrote:

Theoretically Sanchez should do better in/with Denver than he has done before, but winning the division, making the Superbowl, and winning the Superbowl, is unlikely in my eyes.

The Denver oline may have some question marks but the rbs and wrs are the same. "Will Sanchez have the right time in the pocket to use those weapons properly" is a good question

What do you guys think about Raiders possibly going to Las Vegas?

[AF 5353]

I personally don't see the pushback from the owners on the idea of a pro team in Vegas. It's not as if there aren't gamblers and bookmakers in every city in the league currently hosting a franchise.

Not enough Raiders fans IN Vegas.

Stadium would be filled with a hodgepodge of fuckos who like other teams, and attendance might be wonky as shit. I actually just don't see it as profitable to move a team to Vegas.

I don't really get it.
