Thoughts on the Raider game...

by jimmyray on Nov 23, 2008 9:56 PM MST

What if we just ditched the politically correct kiss-ass talk all week about how they're better than their record, yada-yada... and call it like it is... we should walk all over this pitiful team. That would have kept the pressure to an appropriate level.
If I saw one more deep ball down the right side from Cutler I thought I would scream. I think we were 0 fer 10 or something... like Shanahan was hoping for a different result.
I would like to see Marshall (I have stripped him of his b-marsh nickname until he plays to his level) running some slants like Greg Jennings does in GB.
Tight ends totally ineffective in this horrific game plan. Literally the worst offensive play calling I've seen in a couple years.
Hillis has some promise but I'd like to see him on screens and play action... making the most of his soft hands with some dump-offs over his shoulder.
Shanahan used him a little boringly today... like he had a new toy and needed to alternate that with his deep rights.
The Raiders backup corners are wow good.
I don't want to hear about how strong Prater's leg is. I don't care if he can kick one from 70 yards... let's get the 40 yarders down, then we'll talk. I miss Elam.
Elam is gone because of kickoff strength. Prater is getting a little shaky after a great start... one KO went to the 20. Really bad game for Prater.
I think Philip Rivers is reaping all kinds of negative karma for the trash talking he did against the Broncos in the December game last year. It's something to enjoy... but you know it won't last.
Even though we broke down on D in the 3rd I was impressed with our 1st half effort. So glad I didn't have to watch Calvin Lowry.
I'm pretty sure Champ was ready to go... just wanted to sit one more game after he really thought he could. Jets game for a return made a lot more sense... though Ashlie Lelie might not have.............................

pretty much what im thinking

is this coaching staff ever going to come out with a Gameplan? there has to be some coaching moves made in the off season. We should have destoyed the faiders on our own turf. we looked like we were sleepwalking out there on the field. But hey, we have a two game lead. Maybe this can be the turning point of the year. I think the Broncos can turn it around.

In defense of Prater

Yes he had a bad game, but there were also bad games that Elam had. Wind conditions were not favorable to him and I think that cost him on the kick-offs and FG. I still like him over Elam long term, I will accept the growing pains this year with a great kicker over the next 12 years, versus someone who is consistent from 40 yards in but costs you a roster space because you need a KO specialist and will only be with you for two more years. Prater didn’t lose the game by himself, there is plenty of blame to go around.
