Game Thread: Las Vegas Raiders at Denver Broncos

[fightinredantz]

This is shaping up to be must win for both teams. They both started at 3-0 but have lost their last 2 games. A struggling Broncos defense will have to be better against a pretty good Raiders offense. I would think Darby will be active next week. The Broncos offense will get to try to rebound with against an average defense. The Broncons will have to decide to activate Boone, or I believe he will revert to IR and his season will be over.

The Broncos need to improve on 3rd down on both defense and offense. The offense is among the worst in te leauge at 29%, and the defense is allowing 45% conversion rate on 3rd down. Neither is good enough.

One of these two teams will be on the brink of colapse at 3-3 after this game.

Not expecting great things. Defense looks lost without Jewel, offense looks lost without Jeudy or Hamler. If we can get the W, great. I ain’t holding my breath though.

Gruden has lost the locker room. We win.

Bigger for us heading to Clev on Thursday night. Denver needs to go 2-1 in next 3 to have any playoff hopes.

RAIDERS SUCK!!!!

 

[CEH]

no more Gruden

 

[megalodon30]

With Gruden resigning, I’m glad I didn’t make the Raiders my pick in survivor. Eesh, what a dumpster fire game that’s setting up to be.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Buh bye Gruden, pretty sickening! Hope to never see him on tv or coaching again.

Well with the Gruden news if the Broncos can't beat the Raiders now I wouldn't let the Fangio or Shurmur make it to Monday. We can make Munchak the interim head coach and ask Madden can call the offensive plays.

I’m honestly still not confident. Though I do put the odds in the Broncos favor now. Hoping for a very big wit, yet won’t be surprised if we lose.

Wow, who would have thought Gruden is a racist, misogynistic, homophobe? To be that way for years and years in e mails. It makes you wonder who were all the people he was saying these things to and what are their roles.

Its funny how these situations can either galvanize a team or crush them. Hears hoping the Raiders don't come out with a lot of fire. Still not confident in this game in how the Broncos have played the last two weeks. The sooner Fangio is gone the better IMO. Guy just isn't head coach material.

On Gruden, the guy is and has always been garbage with his nonsense Chucky persona. Not surprised that guy who likes to yell a lot and gets upset over the smallest things makes derogatory statements. What an idiot to put that in writing. When you speak it is often off the cuff, but when you write there is time to understand what you are writing which makes it way worse IMO.

The Raiders without Gruden - still suck - in case anyone thinks the Raiders can be rehabilitated by shedding a Gruden!

The "e" in email - always stands for evidence.

You never know. Sometimes these events are catalysts. That’s why they play the games, right?

Agree 100% Pump they dropped everything against the Bears. Heck I heard all last week Ben was old their running game sucked OL was terrible look what happened. I expect LV to catch everything on Sunday and play better without cloud over them. At the end of the day its more about US vs them anyways. If we lose Sunday things will get louder and uglier for Fangio and company.

There is no doubt about the eventual howling if we lose, nflBRO! ….and rightfully so! I had all sorts of excuses for the team last year. Short of injuries, they are flat out of excuses.
