VS.

Since only one team is going to come out of Week 1 with a victory I thought I would give all you Broncos fans a place to talk about tonite's Raiders V. Chargers game. I'll be around, but since it affects the Broncos and us fans I thought the MHR should provide a place for you to discus...

As for me, I thing L.T. is going to have a big night. I like the Chargers to win reletively easy -- 27-14.

Hmmm

I have a feeling that Oakland could surprise on defense. They've got speed on the outside against a rookie LT. Fabian Washington is a legit corner IMO.

I also don't think Brooks is as bad as he showed in the pre-season. Oakland will have to get the ball to Moss if they want to do anything on offense.

Let's see here...

I'll go 21-17 SD

I need a

big night out of LT to even have a chance of winning in my fantasy league.

But basing it on the Broncos and Rams helmet you used yesterday, the team with the smaller helmet won. So I guess that means the Chargers also win since they have the smaller helmet.

Comic relief

The Oakland Raiders have deactivated WR Jerry Porter for their Week 1 game against the San Diego Chargers.

He'd

look pretty good with a certain horse on his helmet...

Really?

Wouldn't he fall under the category of players Rod Smith talked about a season or two ago that finally got out of Denver?

Vermeil and Jaws are great broadcasters

I'd take this B crew over the Tirico, Theismann, Kornheiser trio any day.

Vermeil...

Was one of the best before he returned to the sidelines, and I'd prefer him to go back to college.

I just don't like the 3-man booth....

I don't care

how many are in the booth as long as it doesn't include Theismann.

Sometimes...

they seem to forget that I AM watching it on TV and don't need a second by second review of every crotch grab and nose pick on the field....just my opinion....

No doubt Theisman has gotten worse and worse over the years...
