Game Thread W3 - Denver V Oakland (1 Viewer)

Terrible play calling there.

Jordan has lost yardage every time he has touched the ball. So you give it to him when you need some. DUMB DUMB DUMB

 
Funny that Buckhalter and Moreno have been running well, but they shift to Hillis and Jordan for the short yardage.

 
Ugh... passing in goal-to-go situations. Josh McDaniels is convinced that Kyle Orton is Ben Roethlisberger. I'd bet that Denver's probably got a 2:1 pass:rush ratio inside the 10 yard line.

I think Jamarcus Russell might do a bit better if the Raiders signed a second WR this week. Wait, what's that? You say they DO have more than 1 WR on their roster? Could have fooled me. So far this season, Louis Murphy has 8 receptions and all other Oakland WRs combined have 1 reception. Ouch.

How is McFadden looking running the ball. From gamestats looks like he had a 15 and a 7 yarder but also a -6. Teams still stacking the line against the run?

No, they are filling the deep secondary with extra defensive backs because they are afraid of Russell's 300 pounds of arm strength and DHB's 40 yard dashes.
 
Is it too early to start calling for Josh McDaniel's head?? LOL. Just kidding obviously. Lookin' good Denver fans.

As I said all offseason, I would never be happier to be spectacularly wrong than I would if McDaniels wound up being an incredible head coach. Obviously it's early, and I'm still really upset about what he's done to the offense, but Mike Nolan's defense has certainly done its part to make me look like a thrilled fool. I'm especially glad that Elvis Dumervil seems to be thriving at OLB, since he was the only guy on the entire defense who had the look of someone you could build around long-term.
 
Broncos - crazy plays - Ed Houchuli

Some things just go together.

Brian Dawkins with a smart play to get back inbounds before touching the McFadden fumble.

Moreno's had a really consistent day so far. Buckhalter's stat line looks awesome because of a couple of big plays, but Knowshon Moreno's averaging 5 yards per carry... with a long of 9. That's an impressive feat.

 
Thats what I get for listening to "experts" on other sites tell me at 12:45 that Moreno was likely to not have an impact and may see no carries because of the pulled groin.

Glad I started James Davis instead.

I havent seen any of your boys yet this year. But clearly the D has stepped up. Which as you say isnt necessarily a direct reflection on McDaniels, but more of a reminder that Nolan can really coach some D. But its a great sign that early on there he's leading that team to wins. It was critical for that to happen because you know the wheels could have fallen off quick and heads could have been rolling early had they gotten off to an 0-3 start. So, Im glad you were wrong about whatever predictions you made as well because I certainly dont want to see the kid fail. That's looking like a fairly winnable division right now. And its probably a tad early, but I'll do it anyway. Denver as this year's Miami?? Who knows?

Bowlen's not really the "heads will roll" type. Even if McDaniels was 0-3, no way he doesn't get at least 3 years.As bad as SD looked against Oakland (and as bad as Oakland is in turn looking against Denver), I think there's definitely the possibility of a surprise division title.Really surprised by how little work Moreno's been getting in the passing game. According to McDaniels, that was a huge draw when drafting Moreno in the first place, and everyone knows what a big staple that was in New England's offense over the years.
 
They showed some Bronco fans in the stands at the game earlier - I hope they have the smarts to get out of there now.

How does JR look?

JR's looked like JR. Got a bit careless with the ball early and let RH and AG get their hands on it. Also got sacked by ED, but everyone gets sacked by ED. The only passes he has been able to hit have been rinky dinky checkdown garbage around the LoS, and he still can't find any receiver other than LM. Thankfully he has ZM, DM, and MB to bail him out or he'd never complete a pass again. AD has to be rolling over in his grave at the thought of DHB throwing up zeros while his team averages 6.5 YPC. Hopefully CS can make some noise when he gets back or that passing offense is doomed.
