DeAngelo Hall looks as bad as Burnt Toast Buchanon out there. good job Al, in a last ditch effort you spend 100 mil on a corner who can't cover and a WR who can't avoid getting his face smashed.
As a Raiders fan, I blame the whole downfall of my team on the freaking New England Patriots! That is why I have no sympathy for them losing Tom Brady with the knee injury! Stupid "tuck" rule cost us everything! We could have had two titles!
Why are y'all playing a zone type defense instead of man to man? Man is D-Halls game not Cover 2 or w/e coverage you guys were playing.
its not really zone, its a man to man, Asomugha shuts down his guy but the other corner (in this case hall) gets raped in his ass by a rookie in his first NFL game. Time for another 2-14 season, a new coach and a #1 pick. yay.
AD is a special player. Even as a rookie (and of course still now), he is the best running back in the NFL. Period. As an all-around player, LT may have the edge but as a pure runner, AD is simply the best. I don't think he's going to last a long time so enjoy him while you can.
Hall is my favorite player and I agree he looked bad out there but the safeties were just as bad. Eddie Royal was a steal for the Broncos though, that offense is going to be tough.
I hope he can last a long time, they need a passing game though. Jackson looked horrible going deep tonight.
The Kornheiser team in the first game was unlistenable. They seem to think you need to argue during the whole football game like they need to argue on their own terrible programs. Just call the freaking action and let the game be the center of attention.
Mike Ditka in the booth. What moron would do that? He could barely find words that fit together to make a coherent sentence.
I'll admit he wasn't the greatest, but are you sure some of this doesn't stem from the fact that he was bluntly pointing out the obvious (that the Raiders are indeed, based on last night only, the worst executing and coached team in the NFL)?
-Even when they are bad, both the Raiders and Broncos have some national pull -Even IF they were having a good year, the Texans have ZERO national pull -Raiders have one of the most anticipated rookies of the year that people want to see, and are starting on of the most anticipated rookies from last year -Would you rather Arizona/SF instead?
Why would I argue with the obvious? I just thought he was repetitive and fumbled for words all night.
