1) Taysom Hill stays healthy
2) Mitch Matthews and Jamaal Williams do their thing
3) Taysom Hill stays healthy
4) Defensive line performs as expected
5) Linebacker talent makes up for inexperience
6) 4 and 5 give us enough pressure on QB to make up for DBs
7) DBs keep their assignments
8) Healthy Taysom
9) Bronco turns out the kind of defense he has when he coached it before

how it might not:
1) Taysom get's hurt
2) Linebackers miss assignments
3) DBs get burned consistently
4) DBs miss assignments
5) Poor game management/decision-making e.g. TOs to freeze kicker on extra points


If Taysom stays healthy, we have a legitimate shot at winning every game even with defensive problems
If number 8 happens, this could be a special season
