I think the real tragedy is that there is no longer going to be a player in Every Madden game any more

Odd quirk about the preseason schedule: the Broncos play against all four of the NFC West teams. I wonder if that's ever happened before, one team taking on an entire division like that.

Also, with the regular season schedule upcoming, the Broncos have quite a few intriguing matchups that should get them plenty of primetime games:

@ NYG (Manning Bowl III)
@ NE (Manning vs. Brady XIV)
@ DAL (Highly likely to be on Thanksgiving)
vs. WAS (Shanahan's return)
@ IND (Manning's return)
@ HOU (Kubiak connection is always fun)
vs. BAL (Playoff revenge--it may also be the very first game of the season)

Then of course, the Dennis Allen/Mike McCoy connections will likely get a rivalry game or two in a good TV spot.

Any interesting games for your teams out there?

The Falcons have a few games that I think could get picked for primetime:

@San Francisco
@Green Bay
SEATTLE
NEW ENGLAND

My guess is 2-3 of the above plus one of the Saints matchups. The Redskins come here but I doubt that will be a national game.
Seems like every presesons is some mix of Jacksonville/Cincinnati/Baltimore/Miami. Of course I get their reasoning. It's tough for those western teams with extra travel time.

NE/ATL should be a really, really good game.

These will all be awesome games.

I would love the Emmanuel Sanders move the Pats are making if they were signing him to a multiyear contract. But why risk losing a 3rd rounder for a player that might leave you after only one season?

Because Sanders is a weapon, they view WR's as disposable, and let's be honest if that 3rd round pick were a receiver, Belicheck would pick someone who would never pan out.

Also, it weakens the Steelers, whom they usually face in the playoffs.

I wanted to make sure that it worked, then I got distracted.

Schedules come out Thursday. They've been released right before the draft the past few seasons.
