My instant analysis here is what an absolutely brutal start to the season. Like holy moly! Throwing the Seahawks at them just a few days after playing the Chargers is very rude. That is usually a physical division game, then to take on the champs on a short week? Oooof. The last three games look pretty tough too, but at least those are mostly in Denver.

It is a lot of what-ifs, but its May. May was built for what-if.
