Tiny wide receivers should know it's better to just go down. It's hard enough for big TEs and RBs to not fumble the ball when those defenders are swatting at it.
Edit: but also F*** the Raiders.
As much as a lot of people would like to do that you really get no reasonable choices mid-season. Hackett clearly needs to give up play calling duties but he intentionally hired a staff with no one having that skill. The O-coordinator was a TE coach, my goodness how inept can you be in properly staffing an NFL team.
And I don't think Russ had that much fault out there, other than Sutton its a lot of backups who were dropping passes and running bad routes at times. Plus at least 5 incompletions he threw were throwaways because he had a defender in his face and had no way to complete a pass. The play calling is just inept on so many levels and he's not going to overcome that. Where are the rollouts and getting Russ time outside the pocket to make plays? When he did have time he was great. All I know is Teddy and Drew would have been much worse out there.
There are few things I dislike more than a conservative coach. Any bench boss who believes in winning through a war of attrition is usually exposed at some point.
Watching the happy bandwagon Vegas Raiders fans looking dejected made me dance around the room in glee. Seeing McDaniels lose like THAT was the purest and tastiest icing on the cake.
I did not know who Hunter Renfrow was until yesterday, but hoo boy did he not have a good finish to that game. Two fumbles in three plays, including one that literally cost them the game.

Some thoughts -
-We’re obviously working out some kinks which is to be expected, imo, with a new head coach, owner, GM and quarterback.
-The play clock countdown chant was hysterical.
-I like the looks of RW
-Hopefully we can get the kinks worked out before we play a real team.

100% agree. If they play like that all year for sure it's going to be horrible just like if the Avs played like they did last October they would have not made the playoffs, let alone won the Cup. Talent eventually wins out. It's a shame they didn't find a way to pull out the win in Seattle. For two games they were the dominant team but made way too many mistakes for that to translate on the scoreboard.
It’s definitely too bad we lost to Seattle. We didn’t have much room for error to begin with.
I know it’s probably an unpopular opinion, but I like Hackett. Gotta work the kinks out, though.

It was a beautiful thing. I wonder if @Hasbro's Sunday house party has ended yet.
Enjoyed that the Broncos won the game, but they're concerning. What are they going to do when they have to play a legit NFL starting QB?
Loved the fans counting down the play clock though. That was funny.

I'm old, hit the half-century mark earlier this year. I have never seen or heard of this happening at a football game before. I was floored, it truly was one of the best sports crowd reactions I've ever seen.
Regardless of anyone's opinion of the guy, he's gonna get at least one season, and that's fair. I can't imagine he gets the axe unless these current struggles with Clock Management 101 persist throughout the year.

He did the Mack, He did the monster Mack
They didn't want to trade him
Edit: Russ isn't Peyton, but Peyton struggled his first few games for us as well.

Full of guts!!
The Broncos made a lot of bad decisions since Super Bowl 50. Not hiring Kyle Shanahan when they had the chance is going to sting for a long time

I think he forced their hand, and they just tried to make the best of the situation. Regardless, I don't think they made the trade with the belief that he was washed.
He very may well be, but we need to wait and see.
Not gonna write him off yet, but it's definitely not a good first impression.
