All I'm going to say is this......I have to DVR this freakin' game because it won't start until long after I'm sleeping. That being said.................Broncos O-Line must protect Flacco or theywill pay the piper. Flacco historically slows up measurable after being whacked around. Keep him upright and the Broncs walk away with hardly a sweat broken. Let him get beat up and this will be a horriffic long night and very wello could be an "L".

Just a history lesson from watching the Pats play Flacco and the Ravens year in and Year out.

I’m also on the East Coast and I’ve opted to be a walking zombie at work tomorrow.

I think this game goes along way in determining how Fangio is as a head coach. If the Broncos come out uninspired and overconfident that they’re going to mop the floor with the Raiders because of all the AB distractions it doesn’t bode well for the future.

Fangio does a lot of unique things as a head coach and that’s all fine and well as long as they work and the team is winning, if we go on a slide people are going to wonder if he’s too new and his crazy antics are a bad thing

Callahan being so slight and already injured is a major concern

Boy that was awfully easy. The defense was little deterrent to the Raiders offense. Hope some adjustments can be made.

We need an upgrade over Yiadom. Definitely been the weak point so far. Carr picking on him all night.

That was one of the most forgettable halves of Broncos football ever.

The only bright spot was punt coverage.

The offense is marginally better, but the defense is just lost and reacting to what the Raiders are doing. The Raiders are dictating to the Broncos on offense and defense. The first drive of the second half is huge. Need to put points on the board.
