Week 14 - OAKLAND @ Denver - Dec 13th

Keys to the game

Which Oline will hold show up?
Hudson is back! The last 2 games that he has missed haven't been a disaster up front with Bergstrom filling in but it's a huge upgrade and it couldn't come at a better time. The Denver pass rush is constant and deadly and they get DeMarcus Ware back from injury. We need a great game just to keep Carr upright. In week 5 they sacked Carr 4 times and he was hurried a season high 13 time. They didn't even have Ware but Antonio Smith was in the backfield all game. We have a great pass blocking line and they have to prove it today.

Mack!
It's all coming together for the phenom from Buffalo in recent weeks. He has 11 QB hurries, 6 sacks and 15 tackles in the last 4 games. He goes vs Michael Schofield, the Donkey's RT, who has struggled to say the least all year. Expect them to help Mike whenever possible with TE's and Backs. KNJ needs to move Mack around to keep the offense off balance and I would also like to see Mack and Edwards on the same side of the field on a some 3rd downs run combo moves. Could be another big game for Mr. Mack.

Bring back the stickum???
We had 4 drops in critical situations last game. It's not the only reason that we lost the game but I can't be overlooked. The passing game hasn't been in sync in the 2nd and 3rd qtrs especially in the last few games. We all cringe when we see a slant route being run at this point. Hopefully with Hudson back and with solid week of practice, we can maintain a balanced attack and move the sticks all game and not just the first drive and in crunch time.

Denver really bringing the rush, time for some play action

We've taken one shot downfield..

I hate to do it, because its so typical of every fanbase, but its really not hard to know what the Raiders are planning play to play by formation and by where Carr looks. A lot of coachable mistakes out there so far today. I mean how in the hell does Von Miller ever get to the QB untouched? That sure as hell is not by design.

[Twinkie defense]

Lucky to be down only 9-0. -14 yards offense? Ouch.

Credit to the defense for holding the Donkeys to FGs. Not getting any pass rush though, and on offense we're going backwards.

Much better playcalling in the second half so far - airing it out, rolling it out, running around the edges, no smashing their heads against a wall straight up the middle.

Exactly

Denver now honoring the deep shots, especially re: Walford and Rivera. I'd love to see a 2 TE set where we clear the middle and dump it to a RB..

[FNQ]

Ben Heeney is a freaking gem. Excluding people who are currently suspended or who are hybrid DE/OLB.. I think he's our best LB.

C-Wood gonna be a Pro Bowler!

Von Miller faking the injury to allow Denver to challenge the catch.

RFA I think, we get to tender him

Take that back - he might be an ERFA, which is as good as being under contract next year

Mack! Safety!
