-JDR is an average coach.
-Carr goes fetal when they play an above average offense.
-they make way too many mistakes and you can't do that against good teams. [Reply]
Does that include or exclude the games where he was suspended for drug use, faking drug tests, having outstanding warrants for criminal activity, and being involved in a mass murder? Because he's missed a fair number of games for drug use, faking drug tests, having outstanding warrants for criminal activity, and being involved in a mass murder. [Reply]

Denver has a middle of the road offense against a bad defense.
Denver has a top rated defense against a top rated offense.
Geography is key, which is why I give the edge to Oakland this week, but it's far from a gimme win for the Raiders.
It depends on how bad Carr shits the bed....he's pretty inaccurate under duress. KC handled them pretty easily in their stadium but the Chiefs have Ware. I think Denver's defense will do what they do against a team that relies solely on the deep pass. Denver cant run the ball...so it's a toss up.

Denver by 6...2 INTs are the difference.
I'm still going to project this as a Denver loss, mainly due to geography and the offense has some issues right now. If OAK can get creative, they can move the ball and if they limit turnovers, they can put 14-17 points on the board.
Question is - can Denver's offense not turn it over and give up points, or terrible field position for the defense. If Siemian can make plays like he did earlier, they can score 24-31 points on this defense. But, it's not a game that gives me great comfort simply because it's divisional and on the road.
Denver lost in Denver last season to OAK in a snoozer. Brock moved the ball well, but they settled for FGs. Denver won in OAK early... another snoozer with a few FGs and a DEF TD. [Reply]

Here MHM. I know that this is what you were meaning, but you just didn't word it right. I fixed it for you. No thanks is required. [Reply]

Thanks, but it doesn't make sense.. by your rationale, Denver should be without loss in Denver and under .500 overall on the road. [Reply]

Very interesting development...Donkos lose and KC beats the Jags, they are sitting in 3rd place.
Roby, Doss, and Kayvon Webster would all start for KC. We're fine at corner. [Reply]

Possibly, but Roby's no slouch and could start for most teams. [Reply]
