    And its off!

    I got Oakland in this game. I like Cutler a lot but he doesn't have Marshall. You guys?

    Asoughma with the tackle. Love how he plays.

    I dont like either team, both will be sub .500 I think. Not a fan of Cutler, or Shannahan or the Broncos in general. The raiders are the raiders, not much else to say.

    Wish we had Nnamdi for sure though heh.

    Cutler didn't have many tools at Vanderbilt and still did fine. Wouldn't be surprised if the Broncos won, but it's hard to bet against the Raiders in this one.

    Looking for Fargas to keep doing well and for JaManboob to establish himself.

    Also, I can't stand Mike Greenberg in the booth. He's intolerable on that morning show, let alone calling a football game.

    I expect dumpoffs with Russell as we saw in pre-season. He could have shots downfield though.

    I'm a fan of the Cutler. Why aren't you?

    Lol at Asoughma in his introduction. "Please throw the ball to me." Can't say I blame him after he saw only 30 passes last year.

    I like the Raiders uniforms and Mike Greenberg is not a good play by play man borderline bad IMO.

    In the phins nfl pickem contest... i went with Denver in this one. I like cutler. I think he's going to have a great year now that he has his health situation sorted out. I think it'll be a faily competitive and close game, but I believe Cutler and Denver will pull it out.

    Jaws more than makes up for Kornheiser.

    Greenberg and Golic are horrible at this, though. Ditka is contributing, but he's not exactly John Madden either.

    Awful booth for this game. Greeny just doesn't cut it as a play by play guy and Golic isn't very good.

    I don't believe so. I know he got the exclusive tag and that's it from what I heard.

    Cutler to Royal, TD.

    I wish we could get that kind of quarterback play here. That was an effortless and precise throw.

    He's going to command DeAngelo Hall money. I don't see us paying that to him but I do agree with you that we need him here. Him and Allen would be a great combination.

    Your right I was mistaken. They put the exclusive franchise tag on him this off-season

    Nice return by Higgins. Prater is pretty fast for a Kicker. I liked Prater in pre-season for the Broncos. I think he was here battling for a spot with Mare a couple years ago.

    IMO Hall is lucky to make a top 10, As. is top 3-5 maybe.

    Why are you all drooling over that TD? It was nice but the guy was wide open, coverage mixup looked like. I would have had a decent shot to hit that lol. Penny had some nice throws once he got going.

    Fargas looking good. If he keeps it up all game the Raiders are set.

    Nice to see they went for it. Teams should be more aggressive, go out and win the game, dont wait for it to come to you.

    The Broncos have some offense but I really wonder about their defense. They don't have a rush defense and their secondary is weak. Bailey is still back there but so is Bly. Bly had a very high completion rate against him last year (70%). I expect Bly to be benched come mid-season if he struggles in coverage again this year. Paymah, who the team really likes, would replace him. They're Safeties are average with Marquand Manuel and I can't recall the other one. You take away Dumvervil from this team and they're very bad if they aren't already. Dumveril is playing with a cast I believe.

    They sacked Russell but that offensive line is no good in Oakland.

    Neither is great, but I would. Green is washed up totally and on the outs with the Texans. Rhodes might at least get 5-6 carries a week during Addais weekly injury timeout.
