To those going on Sunday

What time does the tailgating start? Get together Saturday?? Ever been to Viewhouse??

We haven't set up details about tailgate yet. Will let you know once we do. And I've moved back to COS from Monument since last year - so I'm only going to make the one trip up on Sunday.

I hope you are on the case of the Poop and Go jogger (and it is not you in drag).

Crabtree may be out

The Oakland Raiders gashed the Broncos in Oakland last season on the ground to a tune of over 200 yards. While the Raiders still boast one of, if not the best, interior offensive lines in football, Elway made sure to add some major beef to the defensive line in the offseason, specifically Domata Peko. If Peko wins his matchup Sunday, the Broncos' number 1 ranked run defense may be able to atone for last season's disheartening week 9 game.

In my opinion - classically - these Broncos are built to beat this version of the Raiders.

Ah, Terrell Pryor as the Raiders QB. I miss Al Davis.

Crabtree may be out

That is a huge loss especially in the Red Zone. He seems to be the go to guy in those situations. Also means the Broncos can roll coverage to help on Cooper and just match up 1-on-1 the rest of the way across. Cooper is hurt too so going to be interesting how he handles the injury.

Hello Bronco fans. Big Game!!

Hello Bronco fans. Big Game!!

I think it's a bigger game for us than you - being at home. If we lose, we are in trouble in the division. The Raiders can still bounce back and take the home game with the Broncos later.

It’s GAME DAY! I’m expecting a great performance as I make my way to Mile High. Anyone going to the game beside Scott and Chris? If so, pm me and I’ll let you know where we are holding our tailgate.

Well the O is looking better, but still giving up too much pressure in pass pro and not really getting consistent success at run blocking. That was a great catch by Derby but our Red Zone performance is troubling and the O-Line has to do better than this. The D is doing a good job so far...and just as I type that out the Raiders O is coming alive. Blegh.

 

[listopencil]

Nice. Great stop by the D on that 4th down attempt.

 

[Duffman]

Great coverage there Stewart, real top notch.

 

[listopencil]

That was fugly.

 

[listopencil]

They really aren't getting consistent pressure on the QB.

 

[listopencil]

The Broncos lost mojo on Offense going into the 2nd quarter. Just a mistake here and there killing drives.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Good game so far.
