No, I don't think it's too early to start pontificating about the schedule. Mostly because there's nothing else to talk about.

Sep 9 @Buffalo 1:00pm
I like it. First off, playing in Buffalo in September is much preferable to playing in Buffalo in December. Second- the Bills really suck. Off the top of my head, I can name 2 Bills- JP Losman and Lee Evans. Oh, and Brian Moorman, so I guess three. Based on a very scientific formula, if 33% of the players I can name on your team are kickers, you can't possibly win more than 5 games.
That's why I used the picture I did, rather than a picture of a fat shirtless guy and an Elvis impersonator. That really might be the Bills locker room- some old laundry from guys who aren't on the team anymore and some blank jerseys just in case some black guy gets lost and ends up near Buffalo. The Bills have wranglers who swoop in, capture them, and make them start at running back. Last year's running back is in Baltimore, the guy before him is in Denver, so if you can run a decent 40 time and are named Hank Your Name, there's a job for you in Buffalo!

I also like the Jay Cutler/ Losman matchup. Both of them were QB's in the south for colleges with better law schools than football teams (Vanderbilt/ Tulane), both of them have big arms and are mobile, and both of them make some mind bogglingly stupid decisions. You know what's a fun word to say? bogglingly. The difference is that Cutler has RatFace coaching him, and Losman has a guy who won a radio call in contest or something. The Bills go through way too many coaches for me to bother memorizing their names.
The mitigating factor, of course, is that the Broncos suck on opening day. I personally think it's because the starters don't play enough in preseason, but that's neither here nor there. nonetheless- there's no excuse to drop a log in Buffalo the way they did in St. Louis and Miami.
