What’s wrong with planning ahead?
Nothing, especially if what you’re planning ahead for is a given…
Say the upcoming NFL playoffs and the 2013 schedule.
Chronologically, let’s talk playoffs first, where the AFC West champion Denver Broncos are fighting for the conference’s No. 1 seed. If the Broncos win Sunday at home against the Kansas City Chiefs, Denver is guaranteed a first-round bye, even if the Houston Texans hold onto the No. 1 seed.
While getting to the playoffs is one thing, making a deep run is another. The Broncos are equipped to go very, very far…but still have things to work on, including improved play on special teams. One turnover can make the difference between playing another week or heading home.
As for the 2013 regular season, we now know all of Denver’s opponents.
