I was up 6 points with McGahee being the only guy left to play for me. Then Wes Welker happened. On the plus side, I no longer have to feel bad about not starting Ben Tate since it still wouldn’t have even been close.

…and now McGahee can get 5 TDs in the second half. Come on! At least he’s doing better than Moreno…

The Raider uniforms are the coolest unis in the NFL. Not the Steelers, not the Cowboys, I can’t think of any team that looks that awesome. And step the fuck back Packer fans, you have green and yellow combined, old school doesn’t equal good to look at just because you have some history.

Is this what we’re reduced to? Talking about the coolest uniforms. My personal favorite is the Panthers.

At this rate, the game is going to be a blow out by the Raiders if the Broncos don’t start mounting some offense soon.

Sixty Three Yard Field Goal!!

That was awesome. Some incredibly impressive football feats on display tonight.

Great kick! Damn.

edit: Maybe Janikowski can finally go to a pro-bowl?

PFT reporting that the Patriots Pro Bowl center broke his ankle.

I’m not a Raider fan, far from it, I’m a Dallas fan. I just think that classic silver/black/white uniform is the best color scheme in pro sports.

The Panthers? Really? There are three high school teams in my mid-sized city with their colors that have better looking uniforms.

I’m not sure who the announcer is for the Raiders/Broncos game, but he’s horrible.

After a penalty: “Your job is to do your job!”

Announcing brought to you by Captain Obvious.

Isn’t Nessler calling the game? Or are you talking about the color commentator? I really like Nessler. He’s normally covers the college game, but NFL Network grabbed him to do their Thursday night games this year.

Zuwadza · 2011-09-12T21:58:05.000Z

Trent Dilfer is the color commentator. He’s awful.

The commentators. Well, one of them anyway.

And the Raiders will be self-destructing shortly. Honestly, if I were Hue Jackson, I’d quit. The team doesn’t care enough about winning ball games. I don’t understand it, but there it is.

Um, well maybe I meant the Broncos will be self destructing. I’ve never seen two teams try so hard to lose a game!!!

Woolen_Horde · 2011-09-12T22:07:05.000Z

Orton pulls a Romo, and now McFadden rips off a huge run. Things are getting fun in this game.

Zuwadza · 2011-09-12T22:10:37.000Z

Denver looks awful, even without Orton’s Romo.

I’m just watching bits and pieces of this, but from what I’ve seen I have no idea how Denver is still even remotely in this game.

Woolen_Horde · 2011-09-12T22:16:03.000Z

Wow, Orton keeps wanting to pull a Romo.

And, holy cow, I’ve never seen a fumble like that. Denver WR drops the ball while falling to the ground, Raider drops on ball and has it completely covered, and yet it squirts straight back to the Denver WR on the ground.

That would be because of the team on the other side of the ball. Hell, if Oakland hadn’t gotten as many penalties this might have been a blowout for them, but you can’t be the Raiders without the penalties.

Are Denver fans chanting TEBOW yet?

edit: There they are.

delirium · 2011-09-12T22:20:48.000Z

Well this performance will certainly light a fire under the local media circus that is Denver’s backup QB situation.

Woolen_Horde · 2011-09-12T22:25:20.000Z

Damn, 63-yard field goal, and now a 77-yard punt. Thin air, sure, but what was in their Wheaties this morning?
