wow, what was our divisional record? how did we do against those two teams? did we lose to KC?

 

[Silverback Surfer]

SILVERBACK SURFER leads the D with 7 tackles and 1 for a loss!

Couldn't have done it without my great teammates.

 

[Portis 26]

wow, what was our divisional record? how did we do against those two teams?

We lost to both of them - in the simmed games of course.

 

[Portis 26]

Did the promising rookie CB Tanner Boyle see any action? Dime D? Special Teams?

He's not in on D yet:RAIDERS 4 DBs: Woodson, Buchanon, Surfer, WilliamsRAIDERS 5 DBs: Woodson, Buchanon, Surfer, Williams, Al HarrisRAIDERS 6 DBs: Woodson, Buchanon, Surfer, Williams, Al Harris, Chris CashRAIDERS 7 DBs: Woodson, Buchanon, Surfer, Williams, Al Harris, Chris Cash, Derrick Gibson... but he is somewhat of a demon on special teams, particularly on the kickoff coverage unit.

Very excited to see how the divisional game turns out. How are things progressing in the NFC?

 

[Portis 26]

Here's our Scouting Report for the 13-3 BRONCOS:At QB Plummer is long gone and they feature instead a young game named DIXON (only 74 overall). But he's throwing to a 96-ranked WR in LELIE and they have another great WR, a guy named JEAN, ranked 88. A great line is anchored by TOM NALEN, still a Pro Bowler. At HB the feature back is a grinder named JOHNSON. On D the strength of the team is at S where SAM BRANDON and KENOY KENNEDY are still there and the team has one of the best Ks in the league with JASON ELAM. Former RAIDER NNAMDI ASOMUGHA is a reserve DB!

 

[Portis 26]

Here we go! 13-3 RAIDERS at 13-3 BRONCOS! It's going to be a showdown at INVESCO!

 

[Portis 26]

RAIDERS will receive the ball first.

 

[Portis 26]

RANDALL MAGNUM looks extremely sharp early on, he's completed all his passes so far.

 

[Portis 26]

MAGNUM is 6/6 for 71 yards on the opening drive and the RAIDERS have a first and goal at the DENVER 6!

 

[Portis 26]

TEYO JOHNSON 6 yard TD RECEPTION!MAGNUM fired it in over the middle to the big swift TE!7-0 RAIDERS!

 

[Portis 26]

Solid first drive for DENVER, they now face 4th and inches at the RAIDER 15!

 

[Portis 26]

BRONCOS wimp out and kick the ELAM FG, a 32 yarder, it's 7-3 OAKLAND.

 

[Portis 26]

DELTHA O'NEAL 48 yard INTERCEPTION RETURN!Terrible throw by the great RANDALL MAGNUM and O'NEAL took it to the house!OAKLAND trail 10-7!

 

[Portis 26]

End of the 1st quarter with the RAIDERS driving again.

 

[Portis 26]

MAGNUM fires it in from 14 yards out to D-JAX to cap a determined drive!14-10 as RAIDERS regain the lead!

 

[Portis 26]

A fine AL HARRIS tackle stops LELIE short, BRONCOS go three and out.

 

[Portis 26]

Speedy 3rd WR R.B. FISK drops an easy catch on 3rd down, the RAIDERS will have to punt.

 

[Portis 26]

ASHLEY LELIE 76 yard TD RECEPTION!DIXON heaved it deep and LELIE muscled CHARLES WOODSON out of the way!17-14 BRONCOS lead!

 

[Polish Hammer]

Things are not looking good for the usually dominant Silver and Black.....

 

[Portis 26]

RAIDERS begin their next drive with a D-JAX 31 yard gain on first down, spinning away from tacklers.

 

[Portis 26]

TWO MINUTE WARNING!

 

[Portis 26]

But the RAIDERS will have to punt! They can't capitalise on their opportunity!

 

[Portis 26]

Fine pass D from reserve D DERRICK GIBSON (a former starter before TANK WILLIAMS stole his job) forces the BRONCOS to punt now, there's still time for the RAIDERS to score.

 

[Portis 26]

JERRY PORTER 22 yard TD reception!That thing came smoking out of RANDALL MAGNUM's arm!21-17!

 

[Portis 26]

ELAM misses a 52 yard FG! That would have been a gimme a few years ago!

 

[Portis 26]

With seconds left in the half, MAGNUM hits TEYO JOHNSON for a huge gain over the middle and he's tackled just short of the goal line as time runs out!

 

[Portis 26]

RANDALL MAGNUM finishes the half with 311 yards passing and 3 TDs!If he keeps that up, he'll have more than 600 yards in this shooutout!

 

[Portis 26]

I'll be back with the 2nd half shortly!

 

[Portis 26]

On with the 2nd half! RAIDERS in a tough fight in Denver!

 

[Portis 26]

Great D from the Silver and Black, Denver will have to punt on its opening possession.

 

[Portis 26]

TREVOR PRYCE forces a FUMBLE by RANDALL MAGNUM!BRONCOS RECOVER!!

 

[Portis 26]

Fortunately the RAIDERS D holds the Broncos and they'll have to punt.

 

[Portis 26]

JERRY PORTER 80 yard TD RECEPTION!BADA BING!MAGNUM fired it deep to the monster wideout and he shrugged off tackles en route to paydirt!28-17, RAIDERS beginning to pull away now!

 

[Portis 26]

MAGNUM now has 397 passing yards and we're still in the 3rd quarter!

 

[Portis 26]

Silver and Black blast Denver's O again, they've been going nowhere in the 2nd half, punt forthcoming.

 

[Portis 26]

RANDALL MAGNUM is INJURED!!!DT DARYL GARDENER thumped him!

 

[Portis 26]

With 415 passing yards so far, MAGNUM is out of the game!

 

[Portis 26]

He's replaced by RALPH WHITFIELD, a mobile guy we signed in the off-season. He's only ranked 75 overall (MAGNUM is a lofty 97) but he's an intriguing figure - he was in the same draft class as Magnum and I actually remember considering drafting him then, he's got some good smarts. He was only signed to a single year contract in the off-season, so this is now his chance for glory!

 

[Silverback Surfer]

RANDALL MAGNUM is INJURED!!!

DT DARYL GARDENER thumped him!

Worst news ever.

 

[Portis 26]

WHITFIELD can't get anything going, RAIDERS will have to punt.

 

[Portis 26]

CHARLES WOODSON INTERCEPTION!With the BRONCOS trailing by only 11 points and the RAIDERS down to their backup QB, WOODSON saves the day!

 

[Portis 26]

WHITFIELD's got the RAIDERS O going now, showing a nice touch.

 

[Portis 26]

FRED TAYLOR hammers over for a 1 yard TD plunge!RAIDERS lead 35-17!WHITFIELD leads the RAIDERS to his first scoring drive!

 

[Portis 26]

Into the fourth quarter, the 13-3 RAIDERS leading the favored 13-3 BRONCOS at INVESCO 35-17, Silver and Black All-World QB RANDALL MAGNUM is out of the game!

 

[Portis 26]

BRONCOS HB JOHNSON bowls over for a 3 yard TD run, Broncos on the comeback trail!
