Oakland Raiders vs. Denver Broncos: Prognostication Pulse

PrintGather 'round friends and fellow followers, I bring news from the great one. I was nervous. I had not heard word from the great one. Then a stray cat dropped off this scroll on my doorstep. Behold, the wisdom of the wise one.
For those of you that need a reminder, or weren't here last year RaiderDamus, also goes by the name RDreamer, and he basically picked every game exactly right last year.
Ahoy, Raider fans.
It's been a long off-season. The lockout lasted so long, all signs pointed to No Football, which would have left you all without the wisdom of RaiderDamus. What a shame that would have been! But now we are back, and RD has a bodacious buffet of bullet points breaking down how the Raiders will blast the Bronco buffoons into bilge-water. Alliteration is your friend, folks. Learn it, live it, love it.
RaiderDamus sees the Vegas lines, and he scoffs. Ha ha! he says. Pish posh. The Broncos are favored by three. Fuff fuff, It matters not. These are largely the same teams as last year, when the Raiders defeated the Broncos by a combined score of 98 to 37. The largest changes have been peripheral, as both teams have new head coaches (in the Raiders' case, simply a coach who has changed jobs), and the Raiders have lost Nnamdi Asomugha (we beat Denver without him anyway) and the Broncos have two different defensive ends than they had when we faced them last year, as Elvis Dumervil has returned from horrible injury and Von Miller now joins the team. However, Brian Dawkins and Champ Bailey were old last year, and now they are REALLY old, and may try to wander off the field in search of their blood pressure medicine. "No, Mr. Dawkins, it isn't time for that yet. You can take your pills and watch the Father Dowling Mysteries when the game is over." Brian Dawkins fucking LOVES Tom Bosley.
How will these changes affect the play of the teams? Probably not all that much. Nnamdi was a REALLY good player, but so is Stanford Routt. The real drop-off here will be in going from Routt as CB#2 to Chris Johnson. That worries me, but Denver's #2 WR is.... umm.... well, I like that Eric Decker kid, and Eddie Royal killed us a few years ago, so they have options. What will NOT happen here is a situation like the Jay Cutler Game where we give up 1,500 yards through the air and embarrass ourselves in front of God and everybody. Not happening.
Do you know why? I do. Rolando McClain. He will be the difference in this game. He will have several key tackles, and possibly an INT. He will also do the world a favor and shave Kyle Orton's neck-beard. Richard Seymour and Tommy Kelly will gobble up so much attention from the Broncos' below-average offensive line, McClain may roam as he pleases. Ryan Clady is a golden god and will probably neutralize Matt Shaughnessy, but our defensive line is vastly superior and will make life easy for our secondary.
Don't get me wrong, this is not a cake walk. Stanford Routt will do a good job on Brandon Lloyd, but Lloyd is very good and so is Kyle Orton, and the two will hook up for one score. Just one. Willis McGahee will score the other Broncos TD. Moreno will be a non-factor, save one long run wherein he will be pushed out of bounds inside the five, leading to the McGahee score. This will be a Walter Payton/Fridge Perry situation, wherein Moreno will get pissed and his fantasy owners will be fucking FURIOUS.
Jason Campbell will have a pretty good day. 230 yards and a TD, possibly a pick, but he will consistently move the ball and extend drives with his mobility and short-yardage accuracy. Jacoby Ford will catch a TD pass, and may return a kickoff for a TD. Chaz Schilens will not get hurt in this game. Maybe. Signs are unclear on that. Chaz Schilens' bones are made of Pocky. That is not a joke, it is a medical fact. Derek Hagan will make several key catches and establish himself as our best possession receiver. DHB will be invisible, and will use this to infiltrate the Bronco cheerleaders' locker room during halftime. He will be joined by Bill Belichick, who is secretly taping the cheerleaders for game-plan purposes and to boost Patriots team morale.
The running game is where the Raiders shall dominate (Note how I use the word "dominate" as a verb and not an adjective. A dominant team shall dominate the competition. Please, folks, learn to use these two words correctly. Only you can prevent forest fires). Darren McFadden, Michael Bush, and Taiwan Jones will carve up a suspect Bronco run defense for well over 200 yards and three TDS. One by McFadden and two short-yardage scores by Bush. Taiwan will break a few big runs, but will not score.
The Raiders will beat the Ass on Monday, 31-20.

The Big Question and still left unanswered,
What kind of O-line will we have? This is the key to the game!! If Cambell is scrambling, then we will be in a huge pile of steaming doo. But THANK GOD FOR FOOTBALL!!! RAIDER NATION BACK BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see it a bit differently
Veld and Wiz will be roadgraders on the left, the rest of the line will preform adequately on the run, all will struggle with the pass rush, however that will not be much of a factor as a healthy dose of DMAC and the Mack-truck esque MBush will gash the JackAsses deep and often, rarely putting the Radiers in an obvious passing situation, and not allowing Dumberville and/or Von to pin their ears back. JCampbell will do a good job of recognizing the blitz and throw quick slants to the vacated area, getting the ball to Ausberry, Ford, and dare I say Shilenz? Dmac breaks 2 long runs, tallies 165 and 2 scores, MBush is punishing, 90 yds and 2 tds, Campbell gets 1 to DMoore or Hagan.
Defensivly we give up 2 tds and a 3 fgs, the front 4 will stuff the run for the most part, save for 3-4 big runs of 15+, but eventually giving up 160 and 1 td on the ground, but a fierce enough pass rush to keep KO off balance and hurried, resulting in a pick each for routt and huff, CJ gets toasted for 120 and a score by royal, but makes some stellar plays as well, but their passing game does enough to move them into FG range 3 times, just cannot finish the drives.
Special teams will provide favorable field position throughout the game, with lechler doing his thing and Seabass with a chance at a 63 yarder and 1st half end, which he makes. Also antother chip shot from 35 on a drive stalled by KBarnes holding and false start penalties.
Raiders 41-23
But then again, I’m drinking the Kool-Aid :-)
NO MERCY!
44-12 Raiders

Concerns about Campbell under significant pass rush. If he survives the 1st half, with the adjustments made at halftime
Jason will lead the Raiders a a huge 2nd Half.

27-17 raiders
Everything Raiderdamus said, I virtually agree with. lol
I’ll take 11 players with heart on the field over 11 guys with just talent. Talent is fleeting, it goes away over time. Heart is what drives you to be better. To push yourself beyond what you think your capabilities are. To show us that when you strive, all things are possible.- SMP
27-10 raiders
Seabass spends the game sending kickoffs through uprights just to warm up and break the league record for longest fieldgoal in the mile high air.
The lower the score, the more I like our chances
As this will favor us gashing them with our running game. 27-24 Raiders is my hope, with a game winning Seabass kick. But not having seen our team put together even a really strong quarter of football in the preseason, I have concerns about them being on the road, on Monday night, and in the national spotlight, where we have not performed well in recent history.
@WorldBLee
Look at what the Donks are saying at MHR:
Let’s be sure not to run up the score
Once we get to 100 points we should let Tebow handle the final 3 quarters

After readin Hue Jackson’s press conference you could tell right away he isn’t the brightest bulb in the dark black hole…
Dim-witted responses to questions will bring even more heat on him if he isn’t successful. I want the Broncos to treat this game in particular as a playoff game. No let up, no prisoners. Lay some Helter Skelter on the ugly people…They deserve any bashing they get…
"Bad is Back, thanks be to the Antichrist" - George Atkinson
I think part of what he tries to do in his press conference is sound like he's not the brightest bulb
Like he said at the beginning of the press conference, he doesn’t want to give up his strategy. The best way to do that is by not saying much of anything or anything interesting at all. Leave that stuff for game time. No reason to give up info to the media and give your opponent a potential advantage. They are known for keeping it very vanilla with the media.

A tight one in Denver for the first quarter
By the late 3rd quarter the Raiders push it out of reach and the Bronco leave wondering what happened… 43 -16 RAIDERS RAIDERS RAIDERS… Denver will feel the Black Plague choking them Donkos…. The Donkos die a miserable painful death in Pile High and look to the calendar in fear of Black Sunday in the rematch!

Well they are the most realistic out of the 3
They did win the division last year even though we beat them twice. They won’t talk crap if they suck. The Donkeys on the other hand will and the Chargers just think they are Super Bowl champs. Of course there will be trash talk, but the Chiefs were actually good last year unlike the Donkeys who are already acting like they are all that. So yes, out of the 3 I think the Chiefs fans are the most respectable.

Sounds like you're good at predicting your team...
I am, too.
For the Broncos at Mile High Report. Unofficially. But on record.
Will you accept a challenge? Or do I first need to give quotes of posts I’ve previously written to show that I’m worthy?
My judgement is sound.
I’ll take any bet you offer, within reason. The Broncos will beat you.
I currently have two posts on the ‘rec’ board at MHR. I’ll spend time writing one talking about how great the Raiders are… from a Broncos fan… I f you win.
You do the same?
The Raiders defense will move days backwards this year. I’ll make any bet on that. To you. ??
When you talk loud and proud about your team before the season, you might end up eating your words. But so what? That would mean you have a bad team, so life sucks anyway. 1-0 'till we aint!!
A challenger appears!
John Fox uses ‘Bench Tebow’! It’s not very effective…
If the Broncos should inexplicably defeat the Raiders tomorrow night, I shall of course sing their praises, as they will be halfway to their win total from last year and well on their way to mediocrity, which is a step up from abject failure where they were last year.
Now, I have to interject here. I am possibly the world’s largest Tim Tebow fan. I was heartbroken when he was drafted by Denver, because I am a Raider fan and the twain shall not meet. I also like Ryan Clady and Syd’Quan Thompson and Brandon Lloyd. I don’t hate most of the Broncos players, I just hate that shithead John Elway. Writing a puff piece on your crappy team won’t be an issue for me. I will post it here, as I don’t have an MHR account, and you can post it on MHR like some kind of gay horse trophy.
However, if the Raiders win I will expect at least 3000 words on why the Raiders are the greatest team since the 1986 Bears, so please consult your nearest thesaurus. I know how the schools are in Colorado.
These are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others. -Groucho Marx
Alright clever guy
1500 words, though, let’s not go nuts. Pretty easy to get an MHR account. Don’t know the waiting period, but I’m willing to wait. Let’s send the same post up on both boards.
There’s no way I can try to legal-mind this into getting like a fool proof deal here, so instead, let me just take you at your word…. no dirty handedness, no passive aggressiveness, no sarcasm. You’ve got to make my Broncos look good.
Also, I’ll leave it to the loser to decide how and what he writes about, so long as it’s current and that it describes how and why this current team is essentially the shit. In other words, much rope I’m giving and much trust. The only requirement is that when either of us are done with it, we need to be able to say that it’s a post we’d really be proud of if we supported that team.
I agree to all of this. You have my word. You in?
When you talk loud and proud about your team before the season, you might end up eating your words. But so what? That would mean you have a bad team, so life sucks anyway. 1-0 'till we aint!!
And it has to tie into the other team, of course
As in…. You can’t just talk about why the Broncos are good, yu have to describe why the Raiders are bad.
Or vice versa, of couse.
When you talk loud and proud about your team before the season, you might end up eating your words. But so what? That would mean you have a bad team, so life sucks anyway. 1-0 'till we aint!!
If the Raiders lose
I will have plenty of ammo to describe why they are bad, I assure you. I am in.
These are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others. -Groucho Marx
I'll jump in here
and predict Raiders 31-21.
The feeling over at MHR is that they’re weak against the interior run, but I think we’ll have more success running at their ends, Power O, maybe a zone stretch or two, with some counter work in tossed in. McFadden was better between the tackles this past season, but his jaw dropping runs were off tackle. If McFadden approaches 200 yards from scrimmage, I’ll feel really good about the game plan.
Last year, our DTs feasted on their young interior lineman and harassed Orton, while I expect their Guards and Center to be better, This matchup clearly favors us, and could isolated either Houston or Shaugnessy on thier tackles. I expect a very good game from Houston.
we never retreat we always ATTACK!!!
That was my pick last week
Staying with it, but you got it in here first…
