Game Thread: Denver Broncos @ Las Vegas Raiders

[Duffman]

Why the hell are we still passing? Just make them use their time outs and run the clock down.

 

[Duffman]

All right that was a long ass way to go to still end up back up by 10 but hopefully if we stop them again that means the game can finally be over and we don’t have to give it right back.

Jesus this defense does not want to let this game end

Not a great game offensively. Threw way too much, tried too hard to get Williams going when he didn’t have it.

Good win, but got some stuff to clean up this week.

We beat the Raiders twice this year..

Enjoy it!!! It was great!!!

Game balls to Brandon Jones and Courtland Sutton.

Marvin Mims made some clutch plays too (Sorry, you knew I had to get that in there)

I fear the Riley Moss news is not good.

It wasn't pretty but a win against the Raiders is always fun. This team is definitely ahead of schedule and Bo has the boys believing in themselves. Fun stuff.

Winning is winning. We have a team that is developing and put up 38 points one week then 29 this week. Good problem to have.

Fun fact: Today was the first time since Maxx Crosby's rookie year(his very first matchup vs Denver) that he didn't record a sack. He was at 10 straight games with a sack.

Note: I would argue the Russell Wilson years shouldn't count since Russ usually sacked himself.

Another fun fact.

The first time we ever beat the Las Vegas Raiders was earlier in the year. The first time we swept the Las Vegas Raiders was today.

Hearing Riley Moss is an MCL injury but Payton apparently didn't think it was serious.

Possibly(?) only miss one game if he could be back three weeks from now with the Browns next week and then our bye.

Hope he is right.

Most likely we would have lost that game last year. We found ways to lose games... This team is finding ways to win those types of games now.

The team feels different now. Nix is making plays and avoiding sacks and turnovers.

Fun fact #2
Nix has been sacked 18 times in 12 games. Russ has been sacked 16 times in 5 games this year and was sacked 45 times last season in 15 games.

Russ loves to get sacked.

For a guy with mobility it is crazy how much he gets sacked. Loves to hang onto the football and step into defenders... But hey, the Steelers are having a good year.

Sounds like Daboll is about to be fired in NY...

Denver Broncos first win in the city of Las Vegas.

That is not counting when Quinton Carter cheated in Vegas in poker and won but got arrested!

Exactly. Last year on 3rd and 1 I expected to see the punting unit come out. This year I feel like we have a chance. That alone is huge for this offense and a big part of why I've said over and over that this unit is light years better than last year's.

This year we play an ugly game and win by 10 and you've got people complaining. Just a year ago we play an ugly game and the score is 70-20. So yeah...Things are different now.

I just finished the game. Glad to get the dub, and see Nix play well with a little luck go his way.

But McMillan I want to punch in the face. Almost every reception for a first down is on him, and I'm sick of it.
