The Raiders then got a ridiculous amount of penalties hurled at them, which were culminated by the tuck rule call.Jeez, Dave, it was the right call! Tsk, tsk, I thought we covered this two years ago. I don't like either, but the NFL has several rules to disallow what they call cheap fumbles and touchdowns. Case in point: the muffed punt rule. Personally, I think you should be able to advance a turned over muffed punt. So what if it's cheap. It's a fumble. Similarly if the qb decides not to throw the ball, I think he's got posession even if he's still has his arm extended. The NFL unfortunately didn't ask me in either case (bastards). Besides, Giants fans have the bigger beef if you ask me. That was a bad call that kicked them out of the playoffs last year. And besides, even if the Raiders had beaten the Pats, the Bucs showed last year what the Rams would have done to them the year before, right? How many more weeks till the Broncos play the Raiders?

Similarly if the qb decides not to throw the ball, I think he's got posession even if he's still has his arm extended.That call could have gone either way. It was entirely a judgment call. I maintain that the Raiders got hosed. Hey, it happens all the time in pro sports - it's part of the game. Doesn't make it any easier to swallow. Besides, Giants fans have the bigger beef if you ask me. That was a bad call that kicked them out of the playoffs last year.I actually agree with you. I think they were paying the price for Shockey being such an asshole. And besides, even if the Raiders had beaten the Pats, the Bucs showed last year what the Rams would have done to them the year before, right? Wrong; and, that may be the silliest thing I've heard you say yet, brother Postman. A) The Rams ain't the Bucs B) The Raiders former head coach/guy who wrote their playbook) wasn't coaching them C) The Raiders night not have had to deal with their center going meshuggah (although, maybe they would've), and D) The Raiders were a year younger. How many more weeks till the Broncos play the Raiders?Only a few, my brother.

The only thing that will turn them into Patsies this year is if Belichick fails to establish a strong running game a la the 2001 campaign. Last year he screwed the whole thing up when he played the back-by-committee game instead of giving Antoine his due - and Antoine responded in kind, by generating no yards. I'm feeling a lot better about the Pats' run defense this year - no more 250yd rushing games! A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends.

The Thrashole Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Nope, I grew up in westminster colorado among other places. I like plummer being there because Shanahan really likes to toss the deep ball from time to time. The running game is most likely going to be solid but everyone in the AFC west can run. I'm actually hoping for the DB's and linebackers to improve. They have speed and youth so they are just going to get better. The O is almost as old as the raiders with smith, and Mccaffery etc. I will concede that I want Jerry rice and tim brown to have a good year though. Just not against the Broncos.

SFOracle Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Well, I'm not sure what to think of the 49ers this year. Changes from last year: Coach Marriucci - it is never good when a successful coach is fired not because of performance issues, but because the owner doesn't like him. The biggest critism of Mooch was that he was not agressive enough. Maybe so, but he was successful and he got far more out of his teams than the talent level would have indicated. Coach Erickson will be a fine coach. He definitely has a different style than Mooch. He likes to throw the ball downfield, but he is not a big fan of split back formations. I'm not sure how he is going to utilizes one of this teams strengths - a very talented backfield with Hearst, Barlow, Beasley, Smith and Jackson. J.J. Stokes is now gone - I've always been a big supporter of Stokes, but Tai Streets has made him expendable. DE Chike Okeafor - coming off a breakout year with 6 sacks was signed as a free agent by Seattle. Good pickup for Seattle. Big loss for us. John Engleberger will move up to start. He is expected to be challenged by 3rd round draft pick Andrew Williams. Both are decent base ends, but expect to see a lot of Julian Peterson in the "elephant" position on 3rd downs. DT Dana Stubblefield - released and signed by the Raiders (they seem to like our cast offs). His replacement was slated to be Jim Flanigan, but injuries in camp have side lined him and created a chance for 2nd round draft pick DT Anthony Adams or last years draft pick, DT Josh Shaw. With Bryant Young's skills (at least as a pass rusher) eroding and Stubby gone, once again we are not going to get a lot of pressure up the middle - which is crucial against St. Louis. OT Kwami Harris, first round draft pick out of Stanford will not start, but will definitely get some playing time at RT in place of Fiori. A nagging injury to probowl center Jeremey Newberry and the offseason release of backup center Ben Lynch has created a bit of a hole at center that is currently being filled by Dwayne Ledford (converted from backup Guard). Newberry is expected to play with nagging pain throughout the season. Our secondary, linebackers and offensive backfield are pretty much intact from last year. Biggest question mark in the backfield is how Erickson will use Barlow and Hearst. All in all, it looks like another year of rookie learning curves - this time on our Offensive and Defensive lines. Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance. It is also owed to justice and to humanity. Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong: James Bryce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llarion Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 who will be replacing Lee Flowers I just hope he had a good time last year watching the "paper champions" walk away with the whole shebang. Whatta loser. The Fins are gonna be scary this year; the D is shored up nicely with Seau. If their QB situation pans out, they could conceivably go all the way. Atlanta is just a step or two from the brink of greatness, they still need more speed on D and another weapon for the passing game to balance Price. And the Bengals are going to be better than people think. I bet the Cards go winless. Ya think? Cheers! Phil "Llarion: The Jazzinator" Traynor www.llarion.com Smooth Jazz - QUESTION AUTHORITY.

Biggus Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 And the Bengals are going to be better than people think. That's like saying, wow, Ishtar really wasn't that bad of a movie, when you think about it. Marvin Lewis is a great coach, don't get me wrong, but the Bengals are, well, the Bungles. How many 1st round quarterback busts do they need (oh Akili, Akili, where are you?) They'll win 5 or 6 games. Ditto the Cards. "You can't enjoy yourself unless you're having fun."

Biggus Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Kordell Stewart as a Bear (wait, that's good, especially for us Steelers fans! ). I predict Rex Grossman will be starting by the 7th or 8th game. Its a shame, because Kordell is an incredible athlete. Just a bad quarterback... "You can't enjoy yourself unless you're having fun."

Postman Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Originally posted by Biggus: Speaking of replacing, who will be replacing Lee Flowers while he serves his 4 game suspension?Good question. If things don't change the Broncos are heading into the season with two rookies and Deltha O'Neal competing for the corner spots. Who ever heard of starting a rookie at corner? Don't you think he'd have to be pretty exceptional? The college game is totally different at that position. As far as Deltha, I don't know why, but I just don't think he's a no. 1 corner. I think he has too many let downs. So, I'm feeling a little trepidation and so is the rest of Denver from what I can tell. A top notch quarterback (like, say, Gannon) is going to eat them alive. My guess is that Shanahan is betting on early season offensive ineptitude to save the season. Hardly encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't get is why everyone's picking the Chargers to challenge this year. If the team's that good, why would Seau have left? Now, the Chiefs, that's a different matter. I think they're going to be tough this year. They really weren't rollovers last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
