Regular season thread

[idahoraiderfan33]

You seem to have forgotten to congratulate the AFC Defensive player of the week in Bradley Roby!

And no I don't think I am tripping. That Tampa Bay team has been pretty bad here for a while. Yeah they got a nice win week 1 against the Falcons. Since then though other than a couple of wins against terrible teams like the 49ers they haven't really done anything. So yeah I think plenty of teams could overcome that many penalties depending on the penalties. Like I said the Raiders got a lot of the 5-yard type penalties. While they are annoying they don't destroy drives. If those were all pass interference type penalties then yes I don't think any team is winning with 23 of those types of penalties.

And like I said the Raiders when watching many of those penalties are not even subjective. I mean when you receiver runs right at the defender then shoves them back 5 yards to get open for a touchdown that isn't even close to being a subjective discussion. That is Offensive Pass Interference to the very definition. Or all the 12 men on the field...unless the officials can't count to 12 then all those penalties again are legit. I'm sure there were some subjective ones along the way but if you actually go back and watch that game objectively you can see the Raiders are just not a very disciplined team. I've watched every single game they have played this year to get ready for my article this week and that is one of their biggest weaknesses and it is going to cost them big time down the road. Can't be making those stupid mistakes against good teams. They will make you pay for giving them easy first downs when they could have been punting.

I really don't care what Roby did cd, just like you don't care what Carr did.. And ya ya cd, everybody you guys play is a good team and everybody the RAIDERS play is no good.. That's just how you roll.. Anyways I gotta split dude.. And as always I will reply.. CYa!!

And see this is where you would be wrong. I see you after every win for the Raiders saying "that was a good team we just beat." Not every team in the league is a good team. Tampa Bay is not a good team. They have been about as inconsistent of a team as there is in the league. I would say that stems from their QB being all over the board from week to week and having a down right terrible defense.

So far for the Broncos they have played some what I would consider average teams...

Panthers are better than their record but I would still at best consider them middle of the pack.
Colts fall into that same category. They have an MVP type QB but not much else and have lost a lot of close games.
Bengals again are better than their record and maybe the 2nd best win on the Broncos schedule. Still not a top-10 type team though.
Falcons beat us fair and square and are a good team.
Chargers again are better than their record and we have split with them.
Texans are an above average team in my opinion. Not quite top-10 but in that next group.

So far the Broncos really haven't played that tough of a schedule but really in the league right now there are a few elite teams, a big chunk sitting in the middle, then a few down right terrible teams. So there won't be many match ups against good teams. Now I will say this game for both the Broncos and Raiders is against a good team in the league. So whoever wins can count this as a quality win.

Im right cd.. And you now why?? Cuz any team can be good on any Sunday.. Respect all, but fear no one!! That's my game..

Now, as for those teams you guys beat, most of them are having a down year..
I mean, you pretty much said it up there on how good those teams are.. Bad QB play, depleted rosters, age, OL issues, etc, etc.. Just to many pieces missing to pullout the big win..

The thing here dude is, you can only play who they put in front of you.. Whether that team is good or bad, it don't matter.. You win or lose those games and move on!!
Now we have a matchup of two pretty good 6-2 teams, that's what matters..

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

With the declining NFL ratings the RAIDERS are exactly what the NFL needs imo!!

Here we have a legendary team full of great young talent playing in dramatic games weekly so it seems..
It's a team full of Christians and young players of great faith!! They ain't out talking trash and acting like some little drama queen punks like you see across the league.. They just go to work and play the game..
Ya know, like most normal people do..

Could you imagine this RAIDER team vs Pats in the playoffs?! Ratings breaker!!
The bad news is, the league wants to hurt the RAIDERS.. They are hurting what could be their own cash cow..

So you completely contradict yourself with your statements here so very confused. Teams are having a down year and are not playing good but yet they are good teams? I'm sorry but I'm not going to say every team my team has beat was a good team just because they could have beat us on a bad day. If one of those bad teams beat us I would say something about how it was a bad loss. I wouldn't try to sugar coat it by saying they are a good team. And I've not been one to sugar coat how the Broncos are playing either. They had terrible QB play, terrible OL play, RB's were hit and miss, DT had a case of the drops most of the year. Yeah we overcame that but it doesn't mean everything on our team was perfect. This year for the Bronocs OL has been inconsistent such as rushing for 190 yards 2 weeks ago to struggling to get any run game going against the Chargers. QB play has been very up and down as well. An improvement over last year but still not top of the league. I'm just not like you that everything is great and perfect. I analyze and dissect. Heck right now for my article coming out tomorrow I am watching every defensive snap the Raiders have taken this year to see consistencies in how to attack them...What worked what didn't pretty much. And there are some interesting things I am seeing with formations that the Raiders really struggle with.

Not at all dude.. And I gave you the reason why on how I see teams.. Respect them all but fear no one.. Teams have down years and play bad, but on that Sunday they rise up to the challenge and can beat you.. Anyways dude I gotta get ghost!! I will reply later

You are right that on any given Sunday a team can rise up and win but that doesn't make them all good. The best teams are the consistent teams that most of the time beat the teams they should. Yes they might have one or two let downs where worse teams actually beat them but I can bet they believe it wasn't because that team was actually better than them. Just like last year I don't believe the Jets and Dolphins were better than the Patriots yet they beat them at the end of the year. It does happen sometimes. You play that game 10 times against that same opponent I'm guessing the Patriots win that game 80% of the time. So I would call those bad losses against inferior teams. And that came back to bite them big time because it cost them home field advantage in the playoffs where they had to come to Denver.

It don't matter if those teams were good or not.. Every week is different, and teams matchup differently..
It's a game of matchups.. I don't care what the record or stats say..

Now, the only thing that does matter is the 6-2 RAIDERS vs 6-2 Broncos

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

Some good news on the RAIDER front
Sean Smith back at practice and might play.. That's good, dudes a good player..
Aldon Smith is saying he would be back in two weeks, great news!! Seen some pics of him at a Dubs game, dude LOOKS ripped!!
And MEJ should be coming back here pretty SOON!!
Now that's what im talking about

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

Lol, King on GMFB.. Dude is the best punter in the league, imo!! That guy is a true weapon, and one funny dude..

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

Oakland RAIDERS VS Denver Broncos
Big game!!

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

Oakland RAIDERS VS Denver Broncos
Big game!!

JUST WIN BABY!!

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

So Talib ruled out for the game?! Hmmmmm

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

This is pretty cool?? Carr with the Hat Trick
AFC Offensive player of the week, FedEx Air player of the week, and Clutch player of the week!!
Not bad for a 3rd year player, imo

 

[cdumler7]

So Talib ruled out for the game?! Hmmmmm

He is a tough player to lose especially against a team with a passing attack like the Raiders but the good thing for the Broncos is that the Corner position might be the 2nd deepest on the team only behind OLB. Harris has shut down Cooper in the past as he has averaged under 25 yards a game against the Broncos. On the other side we will have Roby who was just AFC Defensive player of the Week and is considered by many to already be a top-10 Corner in the league even with being the Broncos 3rd Corner. Behind him Lorenzo Doss graded out as actually the best Corner in the NFL last week and Kayvon Webster who has done pretty well in his limited opportunities. So again it hurts to be missing one of the top players in the league in Talib but the Broncos are still equipped to shut down the guys on the outside.

Injury's suck don't they?? Or they don't matter, as any player can step right in for a starter..

And sure, Coop didn't really have a good game, but that was 20 year old rookie Coop.. Now he's in his second year and playing like a beast, along with the rest of the WR core.. The RAIDER WRs are MUCH better this year than last year.. And Carr's going to let that ball fly dude..

It should be a good matchup no doubt..

And we are pretty deep at WR, and RB.. Murray, Washington and Richard are pretty good, and can catch like WRs!!

Add in Walford, Rivera and Olawale as well.. We are going to use everybody..

 

[cdumler7]

Right but in the receiving game those guys haven't actually done much this year. I like the talent of Walford as I wanted the Broncos to draft him but he is averaging around 25 yards a game receiving and only has 1 touchdown this year. Have to go...will give more thoughts on this later
