Thread: Broncos Gameday Thread: Broncos vs Raiders 10/17/21

It would be nice to get a win for once. Well at least they won't be asleep until halftime since it isn't an east coast game.
Go Broncos!

In!!!
Go Denva!!!

RAIDERS RECH!!
Translation farty faiders
(Gotta keep my 17 year tradition dating back to Mania gameday threads going)

May Fangio finally unleash Von Miller...

If they have Miller covering a TE or some such stupidity from our coaches... Then we will loose another game we should win. Check this out... Teams with no sacks given up win 76% of the time since 1970. Teams with 3 sacks given up win only 23% of the time. Teams that give up 4 sacks only win 16% of the time. Vs the Ravens we gave up 5 sacks and produced 3 sacks. (That is a big difference between Fangios D and Wades D. One attacked and got burned sometimes but got home others. The other bends over and over but doesn't give up big plays. Fangios D is what a team that can get the lead and hold it would use. We are not that team sadly.) And Von Miller was breaking off in coverage instead of trying to get a sack. Sacks early on in a game change the flow. Sacks late change the game too. 2nd down sacks force 3rd and longs. 3rd down sacks end drives.

We have a dinker and a guy that can only read half the field at QB. We need to lean on our talent. Not bend but don't break so the O has to carry us.

Unleash our dogs of war and we will win.

But it's the Raiders... So they might lose do to nothing our coaches or their coaches do at all. Raiders do Raider themselves a lot.

Go Broncos!

Let’s goooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Start fast and beat the shit out of these guys today!

If you can’t outcoach no coach well… let’s say I hope it doesn’t come to that! Give Shannahan a headset on the sidelines and let’s get the win! Go Broncos!

I'm actually nervous about this game.

Hope I'm wrong!

Hopefully wearing our blue tops today will help make a difference!

Win it for shanny!!

Looks like it's a game on Yahoo sports app.
Don't know if they go by region though.

Gruden has had the answer for the Broncos pass rush the last few times we have played him, slowly and methodically preparing short routes before the pass rush could get to Carr. Without Gruden, I don't know what to expect from the Raiders offensively. Probably a lot of Josh Jacobs and Kenyon Drake, but then again the Bears keyed in on it and they were forced to pass in stretches last week.

Here is what I'm looking for this week:
-Coming up with the turnovers. There were at least 4 plays where the defense was ridiculously close to taking away the ball.
-Avoiding penalties. The field goal penalty was the most glaring and changed the outcome of the game (wouldn't have had to take as many deep shots last drive)
-Kyle Fuller NOT giving up the big play. The last few weeks this guy has cost us 7 points.
-Improved blocking. The last few weeks the offensive line has looked completely outmatched for stretches at a time during the game.
-Javonte Williams having his first 100 yard day (of MANY).

I'm quite sure that the Raiders game-plan was ready before Gruden was let go. He won't be calling the plays, but they'll be running his game-plan.

This is just absolutely a must-win game. Some way, somehow, they've just got to scratch and claw and figure out a way to win.

1. Gotta protect Teddy. The o-line needs to play well.

2. Keep their defense honest. We're not very good at running the ball, but we've gotta keep that threat real. The play-action pass game is one of our strengths.

3. Let the defense do their thing. Get to Carr.

If we lose this game I would give serious consideration to bringing Shanny back as interim coach for a bit!

As long as Slowik stays away.
