Game Thread: Week 4- Denver @ Las Vegas

[CEH]

I'm not optimistic.

wow i was just going to post the same sentiment . i’m not at all interested in Hackett trying to learn in the job.

Well crap! I should have listened to @iknowftbll's gut feeling.

Man believe me I hate being right. Just had a feeling and even though I missed on the actual score the way the game played out was about what I expected. This is a team that just hasn’t put it together yet facing off against a desperate division rival.

Maybe the pieces come together. It’s only 4 games and with the addition of the 17th game, each individual game has less importance than they used to. So maybe we can shrug this one off. I just had a feeling we were going to see this type of game.

I knew I was right when Gordon’s first touch resulted in a score: for the Raiders. If I had any confidence at all after that it vanished when McManus missed the PAT.

Hope we get the pieces together in time to string together 10 wins and a playoff run. Today just wasn’t our day.

Sorry, I am very negative tonight. Just sick of the same ole stuff happening again.

I am beginning to think we are the Cleveland Browns.

Also, tired of us with big early season injuries while the Chiefs sit there healthy year in and year out. Why us?????

We’re never going to be anything with the dog shit offensive line we have. They suck straight across

I am so miserable and depressed about this right now.

I think the last 6/7 years has hit me hard tonight. I feel mentally exhausted that I care so much. I think a big reason is between losing to a division opponent AGAIN! and Javonte Williams being hurt it just feels like another letdown season and we don't even get to pick until rd 3 this year. I will be fine and ready to go in a few days but I am really down right now. Just tired of it. It hit me today. I need some more wins.

Russell Wilson mix offensive line look worse than they actually are

 

[Draft Crazy]

Our OL is not good. Penalty and Pressure prone.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Positive thing is Russell Wilson got going today although vs a bad secondary. Raiders pass rush is dope though.

I hate to sound like a pessimist. And I’m not saying this because of the 11 point performance against the 49ers. But I think the 0-3 Raiders are going to get their first win this week. The Broncos will keep it close but the Raiders pull away and the final will look like a big win in a game that was actually closer.

Broncos 10, Raiders 27

Pretty much nailed it.

Pretty much nailed it.

It was.....

Raiders 32
Broncs 23

What I have said ever since y'all got him. The 1st year will be a transition year with RW. He is learning a new offense and y'all have a rookie HC trying to figure things out. I think the best thing y'all do would be go like 4-13 or 5-12 and fire him and go after Payton. Payton could figure out an offense to suit RW.

 

[DJ]

And I hate saying it because y'all know who I pull for.....Payton would make you guys dangerous, even if RW was on a slight decline.....

Russell needs Hamler. And to stop throwing behind his receivers. A trend I’ve noticed.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Melvin Gordon practically pitched that ball to Robertson. Starting to think this guy is betting against the Broncos.

 

[PumpFake]

Disrespecting the number.

Be fun when we go through a season when everyone isn't pointing all the fingers at the coaching staff.

IIRC, Why wasn't PS2 shadowing Adams on their game winning drive. MdD would motion Adams into the slot and PS2 would stay put. had a 2nd and 13 with 5 minutes to play where Adams caught a 17 yard slant from the slot.

Despite the result I had fun at the game. Raiders fans were all pretty cool and there were a lot of Broncos fans, but also lots of empty seats which was a bit surprising. It is a great stadium and the live house band for timeouts and such was really a cool touch. The only downside is getting out of the stadium with one way to go is not good planning.

What I noticed in person was the awful line play on both sides. Right from the start the Broncos lines just got moved massively on just about every play. Cushenberry needs to get benched as he can't anchor that line with his lack of strength. Just glaring and the Dline wasn't much better with the raiders blowing them off the ball. I don't know what the Raiders averaged per rush but it sure seemed like it was 6+ yards each running play.

Those have been issues for 7 years and no fixes in sight which is so frustrating.

Have you guys been watching the Tim Jenkins videos on Youtube? He breaks plays down from each of our games. Good stuff.
