They did not want to throw and risk an interception, just a game of field position, time and defense.

Oakland's one of the few places left that still have to do that. It can make for some crappy field conditions, but it always makes me feel nostalgia for when I was a kid, when there were a ton of football stadiums like that at the start of the year (Oakland, SD, Shea, Milwaukee when the Pack played there).

The positives: Russel looked good, and Nnamdi played great, we have the best punter in the NFL

The negatives: Hall sucks, our D line sucks, O line sucks, our coaching sucks, our discipline sucks, our owner has old wrinkly skin, and needs to die in hopes of Mark Cuban buying us

Cuban will spend no doubt, but he will not put together a group who can win it all as he has not in the NBA!!!!!! He will spend though, at all costs.

Their O-line sucks dick at pass blocking.

Jamarcus Russell made me happy. I saw for the most part a lot of maturity out of him and he made very few real mistakes. A couple times early in the game he held the ball too long, but it seemed like he started getting rid of it after shaking off the first quarter jitters. His arm is impressive, not only in strength, but he actually can throw it right on the money quite well.

The running game is fantastic. Could easily be the second best running team in the league, behind Minnesota. Fargas is a damn good running back, and McFadden looked very solid as well. Both are smart and are good play makers. Several times the had absolutely no where to go, and when they should have lost a yard or two, they still gained two or three.

Russell seems to like Lelie as a target. As soon as he came into the game, he was throwing to him. Curry pissed me off with that drop though. That was an easy TD too, and as a veteran with a young QB throwing to him, he HAS to catch that to help boost his confidence. Which leads me to another point... Russell does not seem to get rattled easily at all. He always looks extremely calm and poised, and even after a couple sacks early, he seemed completely unaffected by it. I am really liking Russell so far. IMO, he is the most physically gifted QB I have ever seen. Big, strong, tall, rocket arm, good running ability. Lets just see how his ability to read defenses and throw on the money pans out. He seemed to show very mature desicion making though, avoiding mistakes, which is what impressed me probably the most of all. I'm very excited to see him more. Their O-line sucks dick at pass blocking.

They were stopping the run well early, but their secondary was playing terribly, which led to them dropping LBs into more coverage, and then the Broncos were able to run better.

Nnamdi is absolutely incredible though. I think he is the second best corner in the league, without a doubt. Hall and the rest of the secondary looked terrible though. However, I'm wondering whether its because they played so poorly, as opposed to the awful defensive playcalling. Their O-line sucks dick at pass blocking. Why the hell were they playing so much zone? This team is such an athletically gifted team that they need to be playing mostly man defense, especially with a shutdown corner like Nnamdi, and athletes like Hall and Huff.

Their O-line sucks dick at pass blocking.

On the other hand, Denver played the game of their life. I can't see them playing a more perfect game, as I cant see Oakland playing that badly again. I'm just shocked at how bad their defense played, and personally I think a lot of it had to do with awful playcalling. I'm looking forward to seeing this team more in action. Even though they got whooped, I still saw a lot of positives to build off of. Their O-line sucks dick at pass blocking. GO RAIDERS!

hard to tell right now. if mcfadden turns out as good as he is capable of being, then i cant really argue it. he looked solid last night and in preseason.

but this offseason, we gotta get a quality DT.

If Al Davis would just sit back and shut up and just sign the checks, and let Lane Kiffin run the team, the Raiders would be in a lot better position.

Kiffin had some really great offensive plays called, but the team just made mistake after mistake. I think he's a great playcaller and hopefully he can teach them some discipline too. If Davis doesn't fire him for no good reason, he could be a premier coach in the league in another year or two.

And the Texans were ripped for drafting Reggie Bush. Hindsight is 20/20. I just don't see it in this guy.

Did you watch him at Arkansas?

and as great as Mario Williams has been, he's not gonna help a whole lot of anything since they have dick for a running game and no QB.

i can understand that, but i think a big difference between bush and mcfadden is mcfadden is a smart runner. he knows how to follow blocks. he doesnt get by ENTIRELY by athletic ability. Bush is a freak of nature, but has ZERO understanding of football and terrible RB instincts. McFadden is also a hell of an athlete, but knows how to run correctly. instincts go a long way for a RB.

Parker has never averaged less than 4.1 YPC. Last year LJ was hurt, but he also never averaged less than 4.3 YPC.

So you didn't watch him in college, and after one game in which he averaged 5 yards a carry in his NFL debut, you don't see anything. :lmao sorry but that's fucking retarded.
