Did they forget Hill torching them when he was still in the AFC West? The amount of single coverage he drew was absurd.

Wilson's completion percentage looked good because the vast majority of his passes went to the flat. In the second half the Raiders adjusted, and also Dulcich was injured so they were throwing to plodding blocking tight ends. He was getting the ball out quickly in the first half but it was back to old habits in the second.

It was also a game with a very very low number of possessions. Both teams played ball control. But every team will take away the flats from here on out so Russ will have to figure out how to throw something else. It was very discouraging. It honestly makes me think that Payton doesn't trust him.

On the plus side, the Broncos didn't play a smarmy Toby Keith song right before the national anthem.

It’s baffling especially since last season when they met he was doubled like every passing play except for the 60 yard touchdown he scored, and was unremarkable outside of that play

Oof.

In positive news, the Broncos went from scoring 16 points in their Week 1 road loss in 2022 to scoring 16 points in the Week 1 home loss in 2023.

Looking good.

Broncos only had 6 possessions the entire game which seems kinda crazy

Raiders are just gonna do grindy ball control offense and I'm gonna hate it but if it gets wins the whatever I guess

I don’t know someone can come away from yesterday’s game thinking Russ didn’t look a thousand times better than last season. More mobile, quicker decision making, protected the ball, threw for a couple of TDs.

Last season the dude just looked lost. Every game.

His stats from yesterday and week 1 last year are very similar so I wouldn't proclaim that he's fixed just yet.

They’re not that similar. He had a 10% higher completion rating, threw for half the yards, threw for almost 3 yards less per attempt, and his longest pass was 21 yards.

I’m not saying those differences are good, some definitely aren’t, but he was playing within the system (probably to a fault) vs whatever the gently caress was going on last year. He also looked more accurate throwing on the move, especially on the two TD passes. If he can mix in the short game chain moving stuff with a little of his old creativity things might work out alright. I think at this point Payton just had him on a really short leash.

I'm going to Sophia post here (:rip:) and note that Kyle Orton had the strongest arm of a Chiefs QB other than Brodie Croyle for like 15 or 20 years there.

Not even trying to re-sign him and going back to Matt Cassel was rough on me.

Bigger issue is having a defense that let the Raiders eat clock with 5 minutes left, no Jeudy, and no kicker.

This to me was the most obvious sign of the front office throwing in the towel for this season. McManus is on a downward trend but there is no way he would have been worse than Replacement Player, who we have now.

didn't they also only get like 5 or 6 drives the whole game bc both teams were going full ball control?

They had six drives. They scored 2 TDs, had 2 FG attempts (missed one) and punted twice. They had two drives that lasted 8+ minutes. Like you said, a very heavy emphasis on ball control and keeping the chains moving on both sides.

Didn’t his contract go through the end of this year, anyway? He’s already being paid this year so what’s the point of a new one year extension for him to leave? These contract holdouts are weird.

They gave him a bunch of bonus incentives for things he's already hit in his career, so he's likely seeing another 4-5 million after the holdout.

Not really. He was down three and a half million just from missing camp and game one. If he gets to 15 sacks he’s a little positive. All he did was add any of those incentives to next years cap if he hits them.

He’s made first team all pro once and he won’t be DPOY. And both of those are dependent on team performance too. He really accomplished… nothing.
