OT: Raiders vs Denver

[scout]

Got to be the all-time worst announcers in the history of MNF. Who's idea was it to put fingers down the chalkboard voice calling the plays on prime time? Not sure what's worse, the commentary or the voice. Anyone else watching (muting) this game?

raider may possibly be worse than the 07 dolphins

 

[Deus Irae]

Russell really sucks right now.

 

[Box_O_Rocks]

I miss Tirico and Kornhole.

 

[jbb9s]

Are you talking about Mike, Mike & Mike?

Well Mike and Mike are talking over each other half the time. Also, how many times is Ditka going to say "the raiders on their heels because of Shannahan's play calling"

 

[jbb9s]

raider may possibly be worse than the 07 dolphins

Negative on that. Although Russell isn't "ready" yet, they have two solid running backs that will at least win them 3 or 4 games.

As a side note, how good is Asumugha? Damn - and he can tackle too (on running plays - obviously the guy that he is covering doesn't require tackling since he never has the ball).

cutler and royal are on fire. these rookie WRś desean jackson of the eagles and eddie royal are really good. wish we had picked up one of these in the drafts
and shanahan is really playing with the raiders.

This is terrible. This is the best ESPN can do? Ditka is atrocious.

I absolutely despite that douchebag Mike Greenberg, he is such a little worm. After being forced to listen to these dip****s every morning for a while I swore I would never listen to their tired act again. Once spygate hit I would almost drive off the road every morning listening to these 2.

They suck as announcers, the network would be better off broadcasting dead air than these morons who never STFU.

 

[JoePats]

I think Greenberg just called Selvin Young an undrafted rookie out of Texas and in the next sentence gave his stats from last year.

Raiders are truly the most pathetic franchise and organization. They have so much talent but they need a total make over with their front office and coaching staff. If the Raiders got someone like Parcells to take over like Miami, he could turn them into a 7-9 win team right off the bat just with the talent and getting the right coaches. It's truly embarrising how bad this team is. I'm embarresed just to think of non-football fans that are watching this game and seeing this team completely melt down. They're bad coaching rubs off on the players. They're making so many penaltys, and they have absolutely no discipline what so ever. Deangelo Hall is truly garbage, everytime someone catches a pass he'll get an unnesecary roughness call.

Seeing this makes me appreciate the pats organization so much more. Anyways thats my rant. I never thought i'd get this mad watching another team haha

 

[Deus Irae]

Just an FYI.....

Denver is running up the score and the men in the booth are defending it.

 

[pheenix11]

Hey Doucheberg, come up for air once in a while. He never stops with the constant stupid chatter.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Gee . . . I don't know . . . couldn't the ending of this game be called running up the score?

 

[SVN]

ditka isa true hypcrite. says broncos are not running up the score and if they want raiders should stop them . same with golic . no sympathy.

where the f**k where these guys last yr ?

 

[Scouse Patriot]

Can we get a bit of perspective on the Patriots organisation now after watching a team like the Raiders? For the knee jerkers amongst us who think our season is down the pan, that is a poor team. Sure it's the first game but you can just tell theres no fire there, lack of leadership and a total clusterf*ck.

Cutler plays his balls off and I thought Russell showed glimpses of talent. Royal looks a good kid too.

 

[TealSox]

Wow....

Mike/Mike/Mike were horrible, but when you consider the game their were working, they looked great. Clearly ESPN didn't want to waste valuable resources on the Raiders.

Thoughts...

McFadden is ONLY a running back. He doesn't do anything amazing and if he is capable of it, the offensive line will have to block up front against that weak Denver D-line. Everyone thinks McFadden is the next game breaking offensive player, but I think Brandon Jacobs would do better back there. Not to mention he gets hurt in his first game.

Russell can launch missles off that arm of his. There was a pass to Lelie that was the fastest moving football I've ever seen. And the veteran Ronald Curry will have to step up or hit the road. He couldn't get to the ball despite the fact that Russell put it in a perfect location for Curry to get it and run.

D'Angelo "Wheres Eddie Royal" Hall officially earned the most overrated corner award, beating Al Harris because he let a rookie run him all over the place. Shout out to Royal for making Hall look like a 36 yr old nickel corner.

Al Davis needs to worry about building a team with depth of talent and not questionable talent. The entire offensive line an go, he overpaid for Javon "inactive" Walker, may be regretting the Hall trade tonight and did very little to stop the run in 08.

Raiders.... sorry fans, your team sucks and I don't think it is because Denver is good, because I don't think they are.

Raiders will go 2-14 this year, tops.

Denver will win the AFC west - Book it.

that's crack talking

denver can't even score a td on the chargers

 

[SVN]

denver will be the sleeper team this yr. their offense always seems fast to me with so many different plays and moving parts and cutler is very good.
