Week 3 Raiders @ Bronco's game thread (1 Viewer)

[aardball44]

Gannon and the Raiders have faced too many 4th-and-double-digits tonight. Mike Anderson's in for a busy second half as the Broncos will rest an achin' Clinton Portis. Semper fi!

 

[footballgal]

Lucky me, I have both Gannon and Plummer. Too bad I apparently started the wrong one. This is painful.

 

[Mordred]

that counter screen / option play should be ripped out of the playbook and whoever thought of it should be fired on the spot.

I assume they found it in a fortune cookie.

 

[Capella]

SandBagger, I hate Rich Gannon, the Raiders, and the entire Raider nation right now. Thus, I hate you too, and just have to say:

48-21

 

[Mordred]

Lucky me, I have both Gannon and Plummer. Too bad I apparently started the wrong one. This is painful.

On the plus side, Gannon ought to be slingin' it pretty frequently in the 2nd half.

 

[ttiger72]

Yeah and running for his life too!

 

[aardball44]

Yowch! Rod Smith just punched an umpire square in the face. Is he out of the game now?

 

[Mordred]

That's what I need, Rod. Punch the Ump in the face.

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

Throw Rod out!!!I'm playing him!

 

[Mordred]

He clearly didn't mean to.

 

[footballgal]

Yeah, in addition to benching Plummer for Gannon, I also started Rod Smith.

 

[aardball44]

Smith is gone.

 

[cactus]

can someone summarize what just happened there?I have no sound here.thanks

 

[bagger]

smith is gone and deservedly so.

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

YEAH BABY! AIN'T NO WIN LIKE A HOLLOW WIN!NOW GIVE LELIE AND PORTIS THE DAMN BALL!

 

[drutero235]

Rod Smith Thrown out, inadvertantly punched the umpire

 

[Mordred]

Aw, balls. Well, at least he got me a point first. I think.

 

[shmagu]

I could be wrong here, but you can't punch the officials!!! Idiot!

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

WHERE THE HELL IS THAT CHINA DOLL PORTIS? WHY IS ANDERSON GETTING SECOND QUARTER 2ND DOWN TOUCHES?

 

[Texican]

I think Portis is dinged. He took himself out of the game after his last run. :(

 

[bagger]

can someone summarize what just happened there?I have no sound here.thanks

smith got held up by a couple raiders making the tackle (forward progress stopped), cooper continued to hold him, as the ref went to break the two up smith threw a punch at cooper, hit the ref, smith is out of the game, and barton decided to take off his helmet to ensure that the raiders were in no way in an advantageous spot.

 

[Memphis Foundry]

I wondered if they were getting around to throwing Smith out of the game. . . Otherwise, punching the ump = removing your helmet. . .?

 

[aardball44]

If you get a point for one negative-yard rush (-5) and a catch for seven yards...yup, he got you a point before he sucker-punched an official.

 

[Sister Havana]

Come on, throw to Sharpe some more!

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

PORTIS PECK WILL LINGER ALL YEAR!!!! GOD DOESN'T BLESS HIM!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ahhhhhh]

WHERE THE HELL IS THAT CHINA DOLL PORTIS? WHY IS ANDERSON GETTING SECOND QUARTER 2ND DOWN TOUCHES?

so much for the xtra weight he put on.

 

[Mordred]

That's Plummer rumbling for a lot of yardage, if you need him.

 

[jpp]

What crap. Smith gets thrown out and Plummer has a career game.

 

[footballjunkie]

You know Shanahan is going to keep pouring it on as much as possible on the Raiders. If this wasn't Lelie's breakout game already, it's about to be with Smith now gone.

 

[aardball44]

Hey! The Snake's got some wheels! What'd he just scramble for...forty yards?

 

[Mordred]

If you get a point for one negative-yard rush (-5) and a catch for seven yards...yup, he got you a point before he sucker-punched an official.

Yup, that's good for one.

 

[TenTimes]

I'm ashamed to have been excited about the Titans winning their season opener. The Raiders suck. We need the NFL seniors league where teams like the Jets and Raiders can go to be competitive.

 

[drutero235]

40 indeed, more yards then portis

 

[Strummer]

so much for the xtra weight he put on.

Yep, he should have spent the offseason strengthening his sternum.

 

[Mordred]

Goalline O in......Anderson for zilch.

 

[noneother]

if Clinton were healthy,,,it would be sick...oh well i lost anyway...so get hiom healthy for next week...

 

[Mordred]

More Anderson up the gut.God help the Portis owners if he turns up "questionable" next week. The Shanny nightmare may begin.

 

[Mordred]

Time for a little Elam action.(Good from 20.)

 

[fierce_corgi]

YEAH BABY! AIN'T NO WIN LIKE A HOLLOW WIN!

That's me too -- Smith out wraps up a win for me this week.An ugly win........but still a win

 

[Capella]

Maybe Gannon can throw for 300 yards in the second half and save this wreck for me.

 

[Night Hawks]

Well the Elam FG locked up a win for me in one league. That puts me at 2-1 for this week and looking to hang on with the Portis vs. Sharpe/Garner league. Rod Smith out.

 

[Night Hawks]

Maybe Gannon can throw for 300 yards in the second half and save this wreck for me.

If "Maybe" means "I don't think....." then you may be on to something.

 

[LadyBeBop]

Anyone think Anderson could be the goalline back? Probably wishful thinking, but this Anderson owner has major bye week problems next week.

 

[Varmint]

smith is gone and deservedly so.

Yeah buddy.....a couple dozen more like THAT and the Raiders could make it look respectable!! :rotflmao:

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

Let the "Should I trade Portis " avalanche of threads begin. To think, I thought we'd be talking Moss/Pepper all week. Lots of 26 talk happening around here.

 

[LordHusker]

You know why they call Jake "the Snake" don't you? :rotflmao:

 

[aardball44]

It's been a low-scoring week in fantasy football (at least compared to Weeks One and Two). I'm hoping it stays low through tonight. I've got the league-high score -- good for twenty bucks and seven days' worth of bragging rights -- as long as Gannon stays below 21.1 in total FFL points.

So far, so good...

(Edited to add: 1/10 point every 3 yards passing, 1/10 point for every yard rushing, 4 points for passing TDs, 6 for rushing TDs. If Gannon goes off in the second half for another 220 yards and three TDs in the air...I lose.)

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

This is like I've timewarped back to the late 80s / early 90s and am watching some of the most horrid Raider teams to ever take the field.A complete implosion.The only hope for us Raider fans is that Denver's offence gets really tired from being out on the field for so long.It's obvious that Jerry Rice and Tim Brown just aren't fast enough anymore to get open deep downfield, and there is no need to stack the box because the Raiders run O is virtually non-existent.I have to agree - -at some point, put Tui, Fargas, and Teyo out there and see what they can do, and start retooling for next week.This is going to be a long season....

 

[nerangers]

anyone looking to pickup and/or play Jake as there starter next week. Tasty matchup against Detroit.

 

[Everwars Nerd]

COME ON JAKE WE WANT 50!!!!!!!! :rotflmao: EVERYONE SIT BACK RELAX AND GRAB A BEER THE DRINKS ARE ON ME TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! :beer: :beer: :beer:FRIGGIN HALFTIME SPOILING ALL THE FUN!!!!!!!!
