Raiders Bully Broncos, Win 23-20

PrintWelcome to 1-0 Raider Nation. We haven't been able to say that since 2002. This game wasn't pretty, and the Raiders made a season's worth of stupid mistakes, but they won. And they won on the road against a division opponent. That is a good thing, no matter how ugly it looked.
Check out the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarter updates by clicking on the links.
Consider this the 4th quarter update. We'll have a more comprehensive look later. The 4th quarter started off grim. The Broncos were driving and appeared poised to at least tie this game. Then Kyle Orton went to throw a pass and forgot to take the ball with him. Lamarr Houston recovered the ball and the momentum was seized back by the Raiders.
The Raiders ground game took over from there. Darren McFadden busted off a 47-yard and was tackled on the one. Jason Campbell piled home the sneak on the next play.
This gave the Raiders a 23-13 lead. The Raiders defensive line did their thing on the next possession and forced a punt by Denver as the Bronco fans loudly booed Orton.
After a three and out by the Raiders, Orton shut the fans up. The Broncos O-line finally gave Orton time and he marched the Broncos on a TD scoring drive with just under 3:30 left on the clock. Things were getting a little tight. Another three and out, and the Broncos appeared poised to steal a victory.
The Raiders offensive line wasn't having it. They opened up big holes for Michael Bush, and Jason Campbell hit a nice second down pass throw to DHB to pickup a first down. The Raiders ended this game in the victory formation.

Raiders run d played very well.
Pass D played well in man but they went to zone on 3rd downs and gave up big yards.
I hope HUE tares their asses apart for those STUPID penalties.
The O needs to get on the same page. Mcfadden played well but it seemed like they couldnt get the pass game going.
Im really happy DHB played well and SEBASS IS THE MAN!!
Boyd and Gordiano? also played really well! but
That PI on Routt I didnt see anything
That PI on Routt was apsolut Bull S**t

ah
and we need to stay in our lanes on ST
But oh man what a game, Im so happy we got the W, VERY HAPPY that football is back!
According to ESPN
Broncos won the last 11 opening season games while the Raiders lost the last 7. Good to see that we snapped both of those streaks.

and Sebass 63 yrd

Cool to see a lot of history made today
though I listened on the radio to the call on Jano’s 63-yarder—which was also totally epic as
Flores and Greg P both yelled out at the same time cheering for about 30 seconds.
yeah
Giordano and Boyd stood out, it looks Woodson is paying off big

Mr. Giordano was excellent
solid tackling as he stopped some potential game breakers a couple of times, was everywhere the ball was, forced one fumble, great interception;
Mr. Boyd had a good solid game on defense (savea PR for a TD), he was picked on alot, but never gave up any big plays, although he & Mr. Routt looked foolish on that one missed tackle together;
Mr. Grove was a beast solid tackles and forced the first turnover for the Raiders defense.
Raiders Defensive Line once again proved they are one the NFL’s best.
Yes Groves played MUCH better tonight and must be commended after a rough preseason
Equal leader in tackles and had one for a loss as well

And he also forced the fumble n the 2nd

Excellent Game. Now....
The Bills have a very good passing defense, and seem to have an above average pass rush.
We need to run it against them (yesss).
Offensively, watch out for their RBs Fred Jacksona nd CJ spiller. Both are solid #1 and 2. Stevie Johnson is a great WR, and Ryan Fitzpatrick is like a refined Bruce gradkowski, with the same swagger.
Carefull with the bills. They WILL surprise you.

Their rushing defense is still very suspect. KC had to go pass happy because they went down quickly in points.

West comes East
Better not take the Bills lightly, they are always tough at home. Teams travelling east do not have a great record against eastern teams. I enjoyed the game , I think the Orton fumble was the turning point but I was worried. I saw some improvement in the passing game DHB had a very nice 3rd conversion,but I cant help feeling that the passing game was lacking.I would not have Hagen inactive and be keeping Miller watching the ball sail over his head into the endzone that is for sure. BALANCE will be key especially with the good teams. Good win though need to cut penalties I think the D can be dominant if they want to. Great start…now lets improve and get ready for Buff

That was nerve racking towards the end, but I was impressed overall besides a few minor things and the penalties
We did a great job of running the ball, the defense looked very good besides the penalties, and our secondary looked solid. I like that we are playing a lot more zone defense. DHB had a very nice game as well. He’s getting better.
This game shouldn't have been this close
Decker’s punt return was bullshit. Even Dilfer, who obviously hates the Raiders, said they got away with a block in the back. Their only offense was bullshit PI penalties…
I don’t really hate to say it, but DHB looked tough. Our OL and DL dominated the game. DOMINATED.
It was sloppy at some points, and we won’t beat the Jets playing that sloppy

The asshole is really twisted man, I found this when I went over there and I quote. He brought bad karma to his team.
“What I want is for them to give up. That’s a huge reason why I’ve been fighting over at the Raiders sight all week. Hundreds of comments, litterally. Not because I think I’ll change one of their minds, but so that when I tell them "I told you so", that I now have credibility with them – that they’ll then know that some of the other stuff I said was also likely true. I want them to not only lose the game, but to feel demoralized – to feel that their season is lost.”
“I also enjoy knowing that I went to their house and told them about their team better than them, IMO. Once we win, the ground work is no laid for me to go back and make many of them eat their words. It puts a Bronco fan on a pedestal in their house, and it puts them in a submissive position. They embarrassed us in ours last year, so I’ve spent a lot of time laying the ground work to embarrass their fans this years.”
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!!

The RaiderLaker
Honestly
I expected him to active, and I also expected us to adjust. He’s going to be very good. I knew that when I saw him play for the Aggies the past two years. I was disappointed with where he ended up, just like I was disappointed with where Jamaal Charles being a Chief. Still, that defense has a ways to go, and I knew that, too.
We never got Dawkins out of the box, but we still were effective. I have to wonder if we would have been able to do the same 5 years ago.
Rahim Moore was soft, like I said he would be. How many times did he need help off the field?
Still, VonDoom did shit as far as the sack artists we were told they’d be. Why? Because they put those things on tape, and we max protected. It’s not quantum physics, you see 58 and 92 on the edge, you keep a TE and RB for protection. I was waiting for a screen to DMC that never materialized…
Dumervil ended up being pulled except for obvious passing situations. I’m sure a guy looking a lot like grown Charlie Brown called that last Tuesday, and that guy would be me.
There’s a difference between pretending to know football, and knowing football. I think I proved that to DonkeyRodney A this week. The only problem, is he didn’t see it.

Chiefs fans will at least admit when you own them. Rodney clearly underestimated the level of fan he would meet here. I enjoyed curb stomping his retarded "logic; and “reason.” because it was nonexistent.
Most lazy “analysts” fall back on the stupid crap they read on the mainstream sites. He actually called me the “dumbest person he’s ever had a debate with.” Completely ignoring what an actual debate is. I was a state qualifier in Policy Debate, as well as Lincoln-Douglas debate every year I was in High School. I know how to support my premises. He was grasping at strawman arguments based on complete bullshit, when I called him on it, he was a complete coward.
I’m used to that, because most people don’t respond well to my Pit Bull means of refutation. I promise you, in person, I would make him cry in his piss warm draft beer.

Jackson definitely wanted to play it a little conservatively after the miscues at the beginning g
Next week I expect him to open it up more and have Campbell spread the ball around once DMC and co. get the run game going early.
Ford was definitively rusty
Hue should have eased him in

I admit I was quite tenses when I seen bush in the 4 minute drill
he had previously looked like shit. ran it behind coop and khalif for the daggers too, no?
by lchristmas on Sep 12, 2011 11:31 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
Bush would be a 1300 yd back
if he got 30 carries. He just needs to get in a groove. That’s why he looks so solid when DMC is out. Unfortunately, BOTH he and DMC need to do the same thing. Glad they got Mike some, albeit bad, looks early to spell to DMC. That allowed Mike to be as good as he was in crunch time.

I’m guessing Moore (even though he played a few snaps), Jones, and Hagen will be worked in next week.
Yes. I sure hope so.
Was Hagen out there at all? I saw Schilens briefly when I finally got back home.
Thank You Raiders........
For putting the cherry on top of what was an awesome birthday. Lets keep this going strong.
I'm surprised McClain only got credited with one tackle
It felt like he was making plays all over the field.
He was
Nice pass break ups. But when the opposing team only runs a handful of times, the MLB won’t get many tackles. Also the dline cleaned up too much.

The things that impressed me and not so much...
Impressed me:
The protection provided by the O-line. Campbell was only sacked once.
Jason Campbell—Even though the stats weren’ great, he protected the ball
The defense—The defense pressured Orton all night and stopped the run.
Seabass—kept the broncos from returning the ball on the kick offs, tied an NFL record with that 63 yard field goal. I believe he is the only kicker in NFL history to have two 60+ yard field goals in his career.
Lechler—Punted a 77 yard punt
DHB—Made some great catches
Didn’t impressed me
Penalties—15 for 131
Jacoby Ford—It seemed like he disappeared from the game
Ford's hand was a factor, Hue should have played Hagan

Quick notes with a hoarse voice from yelling tonight
Von Miller’s name was called a couple times early, disappeared after that.
Elvis Dumervil—was he even on the field? I saw a lot of Ayers and Houston on the ends.
DHB had a beautiful game. In the stats column he will be around #40 among NFL receivers after week 1, but he was certainly the key threat on the outside for Oakland. Don’t forget, his blocking is perhaps his best attribute. The guy can seal off his DB for sure. That’s what makes him a starter on this run first team. And today he made big plays with his hands too.
DMC—studly as last year. I was worried after that tweak on the facemask from Ayers. Good to see that huge run (absolutely made it in btw) to prove he was okay.

Phantom post.
…continued…
Dline was absolutely beautiful. O would say Raiders are a good 7-8 men deep on the line. Kelly and Seymour rocked the middle. Both look eve better than last year.
The secondary… WOW! Yes, the guys gave up a few plays, but way to step up with Nnamdi gone. The secondary was played in a totally new way. I saw 3 and 4 safeties out there frequently. We were prepared to see Huff up on a WR, but Branch played corner too. Giordano and Boyd just beasted it! I was so ticked to see either of these on the team, but both made huge plays all game long—blitzes, interceptions, pass break ups and stopping guys short of the marker. Way to step up. I was wrong about these two. And of course I was impressed with Routt. Locking it down. Not just a track star from Houston.

Safeties
The safety play was really good for who was out there. Boyd was tearing it up out there. And that pick by Giordano was awesome. The interception and Shaughnessy’s sack on Orton where he knocked his own helmet off were my favorite D plays of the night.

I think that interception he made in the preseason is one of those plays that will stick with my for my life. That was an incredible play from a defensive lineman. How many dlinemen can go out there and make that INT?

Up yours experts!!!
I couldn’t believe how many people picked the Broncos. A straight slap to the Nations face is what it was. Positives, SeeBass is the shizz, Lechlar clearly has a horseshoe in his cleat, McFadden was an animal, and how about DHB (he just kept showing up, love it). Negatives, we will not win a championship with penalties, our receivers didn’t look as good as I thought they would (didn’t know Hagen wasn’t going to play), and it should not have been that close of a game. The Broncos are not better than the Raiders, there was no reason for this game to be so damn close. In the end, good win, time for win number two now. Loved the 63 yarder, the incredible pick, and the 47 yd McFadden run. Go Raiders!!!

Breshnahan did a solid job with the defense this week
I like that they ran a lot more zone defense. I can’t remember the last time we played so much zone coverage in a game. The stupid penalties need to stop though, from both sides of the ball. Yes it was a scrappy division game, but they have to play smarter.

Best Players
DHB – what can i say? made catches when we needed em, just amazing
Myers & Gordon – Beautiful blocking
BARNES – has changed, and he looks awesome so all of shouldn’t hate on him. HE’s A BULLY and he showed everyone what he can do.
O-Tackles – played perfectly, who’s DOOM or VON?
biggest improvement was BOYD, he is a great tackler and played so well this game,

“Boys and no girls Hide yo Kids, betta hide yo wives. This shit is going down. Our Broncos are the superior team. We will win this game. I only weight 160, but send me their kicker or maybe a RB/WR and I bet I whoop his ass! They dogged us in our own pad, boys. Cliche? Sure. Still true, though. They disrespected our players. They disrespected our stadium. They disrespected our city. You don’t run the score up that high without purpose. Oh no. They had purpose. Yet, they won that battle and they embarrassed our players and our fans. I don’t want just a win. I want payback. And my guess is that I’m not alone –some of the players have to remember those dirty dirts running that score up last year. I want a broken bone and I don’t care who tells me that I should never wish for that. I want a broken bone on their team. I want blood. This game is in our MF House. And I predict we take it back!

1. I would like to thank DHB for coming through in the clutch and being our number 1 and not making me look like an idiot for supporting him.
2. I think how great DMc was is being a little over looked, he was an absolute BEAST tonight and in my opinion clearly the best player on the field.
3. The Run D was awesome and the defence in general was pretty good.
4. We are lucky all those penalties didnt cost s the game especially that one on Shaugnessy on third down. Love the aggression but just stupid really.

Our Run Defense
was unseen, i haven’t seen us stop the run since back in 2002 with Gannon. Everyone played well even Groves with that FF. He played well as well, Man Wimbley is so fast i don’t know but, this guys is gonna have the most sacks on this defense. Every snap i see him coming off the edge, its either a holding penalty or he just brings so much havoc. But damn our defensive line proved we can stop the run today, now its on to fred jackson and the bills.

It's about winning and moving on,
next. Who’s up. Having said that, we have a nice little foundation to build on. props to the kicking team – in a word ridiculous. They will win us a couple of games this year. DMAC looked smooth and explosive. DHB proven the nausayers (including me) wrong. The only issue with DHB is where he was picked. 7th picked player has rightly elevated expections, if he were a 7th round pick, we wouldn’t say anything. I’m happy for him and please continue to prove us wrong. Now the conbstructive critism, too many missed tackles from the linebackers and backs, a running team will expose us for big gains; we rushed Ford back from injury and let’s presume that hagan is not 100%. We looked like a team.
They Knew We Wanted To Run But They Couldn't Stop Us...Almost 200yds...
Than late in the game it was undoubtedly on their minds that we would try to run the clock but again they couldn’t stop us…To me this speaks very loud about our "OL"s run blocking and our "RB"s…
What we now know:
We be on top of the AFCW due to being 1-n-0 within our division even if “SD” is also 1-n-0 overall…
The “MadCats” will scratch that “Donkey” giving them an 0-n-2 start…
“Squaws” will fall to the “BigCats”….
“SD” will get punked in “NE”…
Raiders 2-0
Chargers 1-1

+/-
+
Defensive Line- A few sacks, good amount of pressure while rushing 4. Sey had two nice sacks, and that one by Shaughnessy was beast mode. The tackle on that play (I think it was Bryant) dominated the entire left side of the line, center included) which was pretty magical.
DMC- Great game even without that 47 yarder. Looked good between tackles, and great out in space. Reece threw a few nice blocks for him too, and those pitch plays are going to be great for us this year.
Offensive Line- Campbell got pressured at times, but I only remember one sack. They really got nasty on that last drive, opening up huge holes for Bush’s 10+ yard runs to ice the game.
DHB- Put together a solid game. He needs to be a 3+ catch a game player, no excuses. That go route down the sideline could have been caught in bounds if he didn’t jump-catch for whatever reason. Still a solid game with two catches that moved the chains, one in the last 3 minutes.
-
Secondary- The stats don’t look bad, but the Broncos dropped like 5-10 passes. CJ got burned quite a few times, and although questionable, we need to address defensive holding/illegal contact/PI penalties.
Receivers/Passing Offense (Minus DHB)- Looked like more of the same despite having guys who were pretty hyped in preseason. Campbell overthrew a few passes, and we max protected a few times, but there was really nothing going on in the passing game
Penalties!- 15!!! 131 yards!!! That’s absolutely absurd. The chippyness needs to be addressed. Players should be benched for those extra curricular penalties. To let plays like that extend drives really puts pressure on the defense.
/-
Bush- Didn’t really do much in the first 56 minutes. Had two solid runs to essentially ice the game, so it definitely wasn’t a negative performance. DMC was killin it, so its hard to really fault Bush here. I would like to see him used more effectively early in the game.
LBs- Looked really good at times, but struggled with the underneath routes. Groves had a great play forcing that fumble but was pretty ineffective in blitzes and coverage. McClain and Wimbley did the things they were supposed to do.
Special Teams- Jano’s 63 yarder. Going 3/3 despite the rain and wet field. Lechler’s punting average was 50 for the game, and that 77 yarder was absolutely absurd. Never seen a punt travel 77 in the air before. Blocked punt was huge for momentum early in the game. The punt return was really a killer for the game. Really got Denver back into it, and shifted all the momentum. Its early in the season, and it looked like a lot of slipping, so I don’t see this is an issue going forward.
Side note: How weird was that fumble forced by CJ where we had two guys on the ball. They fought each other for it and it squirted out back to Denver. I was so pumped and all the sudden Denver was back at the line on offense.
I want to note
That the LBs didn’t necessarily ‘struggle’ with underneath routes, they were simply not in the area because they were constantly blitzing and getting in Orton’s grill. Imagine that, the Raiders playing zone and blitzing…
These are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others. -Groucho Marx

Ok
Then they struggled to get to Orton. However, I do remember them being in zone/underneath coverage more than a handful of times.
The simple fact that Orton had to pass underneath so much
Shows me that the deep routes were not there, which is a testament to the performance of our secondary. I don’t think Orton completed more than two passes that traveled more than 20 yards in the air.
Also, the Raiders did not give up the Big Run, like last year against Chris Johnson. The runs were almost entirely stuffed within five yards of the LOS.
These are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others. -Groucho Marx
The score doesn't reflect the whipping that Denver took...
The Raiders beat up on Denver, our Defense bascially shut Denver down. Hell they converted some of their biggest first downs off of personal foul penalties against the Raiders…lol Our DB’s did well, of course, had we executed more on Offense we would have scored more, so they will tweak that…I am happy to see us play together, I know when we get a few more playmakers in the O we are going to score. I am pleased with the Raiders progress and a Opening Day WIN on the road!! Go Raiders…
