Around SBN: Roy Nelson Willing to Pay for His Next Opponent's Drug Test

The Weekly Answer Thread

Oh Nation, our great fortune tellers have rang in with their glimpses of the future and there fortunes aren't very fortunate. Wait, upon further review and last minute email notice, the switch in QB's has been felt in the stars.

Gradkowski's intangibles have become tangible enough to sway the heavens. In what Raiderdamus's assistant first foresaw as a loss has now become a victory!

Before we get to the assistant, however, we must listen to the great master himself. Lady (that would be Spirals) and Gentleman (wait, that's none of us) and crude men, I give you RAIDERDAMUS! ...After a quick PSA.

Give us your prediction to apply for the esteemed post of Assistant. See if you can unseat TAW.

Raiderdamus:

I've done a lot of chart-consulting and pondering about this game. It has all come into focus for me. There are a few things about this game that I do not trust whatsoever:

1. The Raiders ability to win two games consecutively.

2. Derek Anderson.

3. The Cardinals ability to not turn the ball over several times.


Both teams played equally well/poorly against the Rams. We both beat them by a very small margin. Both teams got blown out on the road against vastly superior teams (Titans, Falcons). Every time I think that their defense may be able to bottle up Darren McFadden, I remember that Chris Snelling had three TDs on Sunday. Even though the Falcons' O-line is much better than ours, I do believe we can make any necessary adjustments, whether in scheme or personnel. I predict McFadden will run up and down the field on Arizona. 185 yards and 1 TD for him.

Gradkowski will likely be starting, and that's good. Campbell is a better QB, but obviously is uncomfortable with the offense and/or offensive line at this point. Grad has a better handle on both and he should get the snaps until Campbell shows he can do it. We need his leadership. The Cardinals have a pretty good secondary, but I think Grad will handle it. 210 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT.

Derek Anderson is a puzzle. Fitzgerald will be covered by Nnamdi, which doesn't make him off-limits but will lessen his effectiveness. Breaston vs. Routt is another matter, but Breaston isn't as good as Fitz. Anderson will thus use lots of play-action, short throws to backs, and tight ends. Anderson's line shall be 250 yds, 2 TD, 2 INT.

The Cardinals RBs (Wells if he suits up, Hightower, Stephens-Howling) will have an absolute field day against the Raider run defense. However, they will also fumble at least once. I predict 230 yds rushing 2 TD, 1 fumble lost combined for all AZ backs.

The game is being played in Tempe, which is an advantage for the Cards albeit a small one, as there are probably more Raider fans than Cardinal fans in the area. However, I see the Cards pulling this one out, 24-23..

Damus Jr.:

I am going with Oakland with the upset 20-19 on the road.  The defense plays bend-don’t break and also limits the run game.  They keep the game close and Bruce pulls out a late comeback with a 7 yard TD pass to Murphy in the waning moments of the game spoiling Arizona’s home opener.  Here’s hoping Houston takes out Dallas.  Don’t want to see them after a disappointing loss.

While they disagree on the outcome, one thing is for certain, it is going to be a one point game. Remember, these men are merely messengers of the futures and not creators. So, shall the Raiders happen to lose, we cannot hold them accountable.

24-13 Good guys

Statement game. McFadden continues his impressive running and Michael Bush gets 6 carries as the Raiders end up with 196 yards rushing.

Derek Anderson is going to have to leave the game after Shaughnessy gets his first sack/broken qb and the AZ crowd will go nuts. Then the Raiders will victimize ol’ man Brigham Young’s boy, Max Hall.

and how in the worl do you think that the Cards will rush for 250 on us???? That’s insane. we held Chris Johnson to under that. No way in hell that is going to happen. We’ll keep their rushing yards under a 100, guarantee it! Mark my words :)

Our run defense will not allow that for that to happen! Our defense has a lot of confidence going right now and I think, or at least I hope, they can keep this up!

Oakland 20

Bruce manages the game and throws for 230+ with 1 TD. If Bush plays, I see 70+ yds for him and Darren. If not, Darren barely breaks 100, but, is more of a force in the passing game. Zach Miller also has a huge game.

Derek Anderson doesn’t play all that bad. Their running game keeps them in it up until the 4th when Derek throws a costly pick.

Gradkowski's Raiders put the NFL on notice. 34-14 romp; Raiders. (although it's just the Cards, not the Colts or Saints)

The D gets pumped, sacks Andy 5 times, we pic him off 2 times. Grads then proceeds to give his stat line of 300 yards passing 3 TD’s and 1 int.. McFadden and Bush take care of the rest. (My non-fantasy prediction 24-20, Raiders)

Our D feeds off our O and our O is stoked by DMC and Bruce. I'm hopeful for Bruce making a definitive statement in his

1st start – 3 TDs (Zach, Darius and Murph) with DMC rushing for another. 31 to 20 Raiders.

I do agree that Dubzfan is a bit of a downer, but he is not a troll.

The whole Gradkowski 180 yards and a TD is obviously “downing” Grads and shows that he is not convinced. I foresee at least 240 yards and 2 TD’s realistically from Grads. (1 pic though)

I can vouch for this...

While I have noticed the off-putting nature of some of Sons’ opinions, I have always been one to appreciate it. I can also tell you that once given the opportunity to meet him, you’d understand completely.

While we all express our thoughts about this team we love so much in so many different ways, that can oft be misconstrued so grossly that we come to conclusions about one another that are simply unfounded. I can assure you, no one wants this team to win more than SOB, and that he will never change or adjust the way in which he expresses that desire to accommodate the feelings of those who disagree, and for that, we should all appreciate him.

I think that most folks who actually believe they truly hate some of the others here, would feel quite differently given the opportunity to watch our beloved Raiders together.

We should also be grateful that we do not mire our thoughts in niceties for fear of offending one another, and shoot from the hip in matters Raiders.

The one thing I will agree with, is that the word “troll” is way overused of late, and rarely where appropriate. Rather than resort to calling your fellow Raider fans convenient titles, why not posit a well-formed and thought out opinion that breaks down the foundation of that with which you disagree, instead of resorting to namecalling? I venture to say that most of you same folks would come to appreciate many of the folks you believe you can’t stand here, if you were to see what the site would be were we to lose the contributions of any single poster.

Everything ever and then some has been created and on Wiki
Brax is a two-player abstract strategy board game. It was invented in 1889 (or shortly before) in America. The board design is unique. There are several marked paths on the board where a player moves their pieces. A piece can move one or two spaces in a turn depending upon the color of the path. Players attempt to capture each other’s pieces.

Brax was featured in the book by Klutz Press “The Book of Classic Board Games” (1991) which ranked it among the top 15 board games in history.

I’m predicting 2 sacks for Warden Wimbley and one each for Houston, Scott, and Shaugnessy. Maybe Tommy K knifes in for one, too. Duece Lutui is really fat and slow right now, and Levi Brown is having real problems adjusting to LT. I can see a couple safety blitzes like last week, too. Marshall has to attack on defense, he HAS to. Anderson will throw at least on pick, maybe two. I say Huff and Routt benefit from his lack of touch and accuracy. He is just dumb enough to try to force one to Fitz with Aso covering, though. I’m really looking forward to that matchup.

Grad will chuck 2 TDs, McFadden will run for one, and Bush will run for one. It should be 28-10 in 4th with the Cards scoring a garbage time TD to make the game look closer than it was.

This game will also highlight both teams defensive flaws.

Derek has no answer for this D, and our pressure from the front creates lots of turnovers for this team. Another stellar perfomance from DMac, with Bush coming in late with a cleanup TD like the one against TB to keep them out of the playoff hunt two years ago.

Anyone know if Seymour will play? Not that we’ll need him, but I’d venture to say his presence will change the outcome by another 7 points in our favor, be it from more three and outs, a turnover caused by him, or because he’s on the field, or just big Dick kicking his guys asses so often that his cohorts have big sack and hurry games too.

Expect at least two ints by the youth, one coming on a big play by the d backs working in unison against Fitz, having watch plenty of tape to know when and where Mr. Anderson struggles.

muph and DHB cant afford to make

mistakes in order for the raiders to have a winning chance… they dont have to have the biggest games of their lives but have to be consistent. Cause I notice AZ’s Defense wont give up anything past 10 yards. ATL was able to play inside the chains and kept it moving with Turner and Snelling and hopefully DMC and Bush can do the same with Zmiller making some plays.

speaking of Miller, anyone notice he’s dropping a few easy ones the last two games?

by gogomaplata on Sep 24, 2010 9:58 AM PDT reply actions  

ATL was missing Mike Jenkins

so AZ could double up Roddy White and limit their shots down the field. I would imagine we’ll start off running with quck hitches and slants, then try some double moves after their safeties start flying to the flats to take that away. Look for a sluggo seam to Murph for a big play in the second quarter. Rhodes and Wilson are very good safeties, but they play Wilson too close to the LoS sometimes and can be beat over the top. We’ll need to put the slot/TE on the side opposite Rogers-Cromartie to get single coverage on their no. 2 CB, and that should be easy pickens all day long. We may also have some shots at some RB wheel routes to the weak side of the formation either to Reece, DMC, or Bush. I like Reece on these, though, because I don’t think there are many LBs that can cover him. Darryl Washington, their rookie LB from TCU is the real deal, though.

This is similar to how we’ll have to play KC’s defense, though I think DRC is better than Flowers.

Not even close: Raiders 28 Cardinals 12

Toler is the weak link at corner, he needs all the help he can get, while we don’t have superior receivers, yet [in a couple years development], they def got speed, which is Toler’s downfall, he’ll probably be on DHB, his speed will prove damning for Toler to cover, Kerry Rhodes will have to gamble in this game. Grad will take advantage. Also look for a couple of play action/sluggo plays for Zach. He will eat up the LB’s, the Cards hurt w/o Dansby and Hayes.

they might be a little worse...if that's believeable!

Seymour and Kelley

should have their way inside, and Levi Brown can’t keep up with Scott and Wimbley…we should get about 6 sacks.

we never retreat we always ATTACK!!!

Raiders, 20-7

Failure builds character; success reveals it

The game is being played in Tempe...

Umm, no it’s not. It’s being played in Glendale. If Raiderdamus…or Raiderdumba**… doesn’t even know what city the game’s being played in…what kinda prophet do we have here? Not a prophet at all. I’ll be at University of Phoenix stadium in about 40 hours to witness a 30-13 thrashing.

I've heard that sometimes the visions can be a little vague

and it is wise for seers to code their messages to keep the powers that be from growing weary of their black magic and consequently chopping off their heads.

What kind of weather

can we expect? It’s actually unseasonably warm out here in the Sierra foot hills.

My crystal ball says

27-23

I went off my all-madden game.

Bruce throws two picks in the fist half and we fall behind. But he redeems himself big in the second half

I also went off my all-madden game. 900-3 raiders

I played as the Cardinals..

Our best chance of winning this game is

playing 50/50 run pass. The Cards are a better team than the Rams that we just barely beat. We can forget about throwing on one side of the field. I believe they are going to press our WR’s and make Bruce throw down the field. I see a problem if we don’t allow Nnamdi to follow Fish but in order to do that we must stop the run and put them in 3rd and long.

Interesting. You're like the opposite of RaiderDamus with this one:
Jano turns back into his solid self 4/4 long of 57

How ’bout predicting Bruce Greatkowski throws four pick sixes against the Texans? Pretty please?
