Is this guy Lechler the best ever at the position?

Not even in the Raiders franchise. But he's getting close.

I was too young to watch much of Guy. But it's hard for me to believe he was better than this.

Really Tim? I had you pegged for late30s/early 40s...guess not.

Actually I'm 46, but I didn't watch much football as either a kid or a teenager and rarely watched the Raiders.

I'm with Tim on this one. Lechler was the first punter in NFL history to have a net average over 40 yards in a season. And he's done it quite a few times now.

Rams vs. Giants next week on MNF??? :X

Were the Seahawks and Browns unavailable?

 

[Dr. Gobbler]

Punting.

I wish I could get over this, but I hold my breath and actually EXPECT McFadden to be hurt at the end of every run.

Punting.

McFadden being stopped by his own linemen. Pretty much only by his own linemen.

 

[Scooter71]

Holy cow. DMC bringing a load. Go out a bounds? Never!

 

[jurb26]

McFadden is punishing the Den D when he finishes every run. I think it's going to be a long 2nd half for Den.

Strat-O-Matic and Avalon Hill was the early makings of my FF World.

Grove, were you watching when Guy was playing? You didn't have to be a Raider fan to know how good this guy was.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Denver crowd was really intense at the kickoff. It's like a library now.

 

[eakfootball]

What's up with 0 tackles for McClain?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

More yellow laundry

 

[GroveDiesel]

DHB could have caught that ball in bounds...scratch that...many other NFL WRs could have made that catch.

Easy to pile on DHB all the time. The throw led him out of bounds.

there isn't a WR alive that catches that ball in bounds.

Maybe I need to see it a few more times, but I'm pretty sure the ball would have landed in bounds if nobody was there. The ball was definitely a touch underthrown. But that's an easy adjustment for a WR to make. All he had to do was chop his steps just a touch as it comes down and the ball would have landed in his hands right over his shoulder.But instead of chopping his steps or slowing slightly before the ball got there, he kept going full speed and then had to do a weird hop in order to slow himself immediately to make the adjustment. When he did that, he hopped sideways too and ended up out of bounds. Receivers make that adjustment all the time. It's not necessarily easy, but it's done quite a bit. He managed to make it look even more awkward and difficult than it needed to be.

And then the horsecollar.....

 

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

DMC is fun to watch. I never got to see Payton but I think I'm seeing a bit of him tonight. He just paid for it right there.

 

[AmosMoses]

Reggie Roby.

 

[Keys Myaths]

I think I'm going to dream about giant lemon pies being thrown at my face.

It's always something.

 

[jurb26]

McFadden almost got his head ripped off.

 

[renesauz]

tackle attempts like that deserve a fine...ridiculous.

 

[rascal]

mcFadden just got lit up on a facemask

Deserved that time. Nasty play.

Doesnt help when the D does stuff like that.

 

[MSULions]

what happened to that whole "get jacoby ford the ball" strategy?

 

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

By the way, correct me if I'm wrong but The Raidas have not shown a 3 WR set?

 

[jamil]

Wow from the patriots game to this. ...

 

[joffer]

oh look, a penalty

You need to watch it again.

Agreed. No dog in this fight, don't own McFadden, but that b.s. pisses me off

 

[Keys Myaths]

Where was the flag on that? Easy call.

The Giants could go 2-14 this year and would still get 3 SNF/MNF games.

No, he's before my time. But I think he's a guy whose legend is bigger than his actual performance. He was a great punter, but I think he's more myth than reality at this point.

 

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

There is the multi WR set.

 

[Keys Myaths]

Flags combined with awesome analysis: "Raiders trying to score the maximum number of points possible".

 

[Ministry of Pain]

13 penalties to this point.

 

[tud_duke]

Does anyone think either of these teams care about this game?

At half time maybe they should just let them have a giant melee and get this sorted out. And afterwords maybe they can attach dog collars that will shock them if they false start...

 

[We Tigers]

McFadden almost got his head ripped off.

That was awful. Ayers definitely deserves a fine for that one.

This is what your kids are going to say about Michael Jordan.Grove, were you watching when Guy was playing? You didn't have to be a Raider fan to know how good this guy was.

No, he's before my time. But I think he's a guy whose legend is bigger than his actual performance. He was a great punter, but I think he's more myth than reality at this point.

 

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

Good freaking grief. Terrible.

 

[cj*]

this is hard to watch

 

[Scooter71]

Went to a fight and a Broncos-Raiders game broke out.

 

[MSULions]

oh look, a penalty

LOL @ "myth"...

 

[Keys Myaths]

Should've been picked.

 

[Dr. Awesome]

Dilfer: "they know they only need a little bit of yards"

They needed only a little bit more of yards to maximize the most points scored on that drive.
