@ 4:24 – McCown’s first throw in this quarter is incomplete.  Can you believe this?  Raiders take a timeout after some sloppy line formation.  Oakland is at their 41-yard line and hoping to get somewhere where Sebastian Janikowski can kick it.  He’s more than decent, with a career long of 55 yards.  3rd and 7, […]

After an interception (and lightning storm)-filled first half, the Broncos lead the Raiders 17-3. The Broncos started their semi-annual bout with the Oakland Raiders with a blast, executing a 29-yard scoring drive after a Champ Bailey interception on the Raiders’ second posession. Shortly after the start of the second quarter, a 30-minute storm delay was […]

@ 2:47 – FG is good, 17-3 Broncos. 18 seconds left in the half. 2:45 – 3rd and 7, and the Broncos fail to convert (barely) after a Selvin Young run. Jason Elam, don’t blow it buddy. 2:42 – Two minute warning after a 21-yard Travis Henry run. The Broncos are threatening at the Oakland […]

@ Raider Week is coming to an end! While Daunte Culpepper is looking to get the start (Josh McCown listed as doubtful), the Broncos are finished preparing for their home opener and are ready to take the field at 2:15 PM Mountain Time. For those who can watch the game live, don’t miss the tribute […]

Head Coach Mike Shanahan announced today that the team has re-signed tight end/tackle Chad Mustard. To make room on the roster, veteran Stephen Alexander was released. I always liked Alexander, and am sad to see him go. But his calf injury has made him useless for now, and the Broncos are lacking depth at tackle […]

I have returned to the U. S. of A. after a full week of meetings and movie-watching up in Toronto. Unfortunately, I was so busy I didn’t even make it over to KMA’s suggested Irish Pub for a pint. And that means I also missed our season opener (in fact, I’ve still not seen the […]

Need a full scouting report on the enemy? Look no further than here. Position by position, I break down the competition’s roster and tell you which team has the edge. QUARTERBACK – JOSH MCCOWN (#12, 6-4, 215) There are conflicting reports out there, but my gut tells me we’ll be facing Josh McCown on Sunday […]

In a big game of “What If?” – Oakland Raiders beat writer Steve Corkran wonders aloud how different the Raiders would be if they had selected Jay Cutler with the 7th overall pick last year. Instead, the team picked safety Michael Huff, who has a lot of upside but hasn’t lived up to his potential […]

I’ve read every other predicter/sportswriter/blogger’s results from their Pick ‘Ems last week. And I’ve come to a simple, definite conclusion. All hail me. I had a great showing in Week 1, picking my way to 13-3 (counting the Colts, whom if you’ve read any of Power Rankings etc. you know I picked). So I praise […]

Andrew Mason reports that rookie defensive end Tim Crowder and third year cornerback Karl Paymah both returned to the practice field on Thursday for the Broncos. Crowder has been out for several weeks with an ankle injury, and Paymah has been sidelined since his concussion in the final preseason match against the Cardinals. His report […]
