Week 2: RAIDERS @ Broncos 2nd Half Open Thread


2nd half open thread of the Raiders' Week 2 divisional road matchup vs. the Broncos. As usual, leave a comment below and share your thoughts on the game.

Q4

OAK 19 DEN 20

You can put this one in the books. When the defense had to be depended on to win the game, that's a lot to ask for. I'm gonna look back at that missed XP by Nugent at the first half. That was gonna bite eventually. And it looked that way. 0-2 and that Khalil Mack trade is making Gruden and the Raiders look like big time losers week-by-week. If the defense needed to step up, for sure Mack would've answered with the way he owned Denver the last few games. Stay tuned for the full recap.

Q3

OAK 19 DEN 10

The Raiders let the Broncos score this quarter. Going back to that catch though on the last Broncos' drive. I thought that was a sure touchdown because it looked like his foot never hit the white chalk. The Raiders get a big break there and maintain the 9-point lead. Derek Carr first TD of the season to Seth Roberts. We needed to see that. He looks much better this game than he did the last game and that's a very encouraging sign. AC/DC is tuning up too. Coop is having a really solid game and converting on key thir downs.
