Again, I think Guy was great, but I also think that there is zero appreciation for how good Lechler is. Ray Guy was in the NFL for 14 seasons and lead the league in punting 3 times. His longest gross average was 45.3 yards (and he wasn't first in the league that year). His career average of 42.4 yards is good for 73rd all time.
Lechler has lead the league in punting average 5 times in 11 years. His longest gross average is 51.1 yards, the only guy in NFL history to go over 50 yards. Lechler's 2nd LOWEST average is 45.7 which means Guy had a higher best average than just ONE of Lechler's years. His career average of 47.3 yards per punt is good for first all time. It's almost an entire yard higher than the #2 guy and almost 2 yards higher than the #3 guy.
20 years from now, Raiders fans will be pushing for Lechler for the HOF as the greatest punter of all time and Guy will be a nice after thought.

I liked seeing Campbell blocking there.

It's kind of concerning to me that the Raiders seem to believe that the best way to get the ball to WRs Ford and Moore is to hand it off to them.

A Denarius Moore sighting.

Again, I'm not a Raiders fan at all(Packer backer all the way), but I watched Guy play and it's about way more than averages. His hang-time was insane and his ability to trap teams inside the 10 was second to none. He was a big time weapon for the Raiders.It's absolutely criminal that he's not in the HOF, but he's the only punter whose name is ever mentioned when the voting begins.

It would be cool if you didn't make things up. Nobody disrespected Lechler. He is amazing.I simply took issue with your comment that Guy was a myth. It's an especially laughable comment since you admit you never saw him play.

Jason Campbell doing the same thing that pissed off everyone in Wash. Running the playclock to :01 every single snap. This guy is just so deliberate...

I was hoping that was by design.

18 penalties to this point. 4 more would tie the record.

Another thing to consider is the Raiders were actually a great team back then, so it wasn't just about cutting it loose. If Guy was kicking for the Raiders for the last several years, my guess is that he would have much higher averages.

He's got 18 carries for 96 yards and we're barely halfway through the 3rd QTR. People will complain about anything...........

Agreed, a gallup to the end zone would put nice cap on it.

Nice discipline.
And we were getting to Orton WAAAAY too frequently in the 1H with the blitz. Good thing we stopped that.

Hard to complete passes when your receivers drop them consistently.

Dear god, what has happened to this place? I am concerned since he nearly had his head twisted off and has taken two to three big shots on his last few carries.

That throw to Fells was just awful, hard to call that one a drop. He's running full speed to the right sideline and he has to reach back and to his shoestrings for it.

Fells has done OK, but I'm really surprised we haven't seen a contribution from Julius Thomas in this game.

Sorry my comment was in reference to the second part of your post. He has 18 carries already so I hardly think he's "taking himself ouf almost every other play". Every stud rb takes their share of hits. He'll be fine.

Dilfer with an actual good correction of Nessler there

And through all this mess Richard Seymour still showing he is one of the best in the business.

We're in Denver here. Essentially the ball is filled with helium. In fact, on an equivalent scale Dempsey's FG would be right at about 70 in Denver yards.yeah that will be the "live ball" era and they will inflate the footballs with helium.Guys will be kicking 70 yard FGs regularly in a couple of decades. No big deal.

It's very taxing being a fan of this team. If I suddenly stop posting it's because my heart finally gave out.

Its called a contact sport for a reason, this is football after all not badminton. If your not willing to take and give big hits then you should be playing chess not football.
