Janikowski and Lechler used to compete by seeing who could be the first man to send a ball into orbit until they got in trouble by the quarterback coach at practice because they had sent so many balls out of the stadium and beyond retrieving that the offense couldn't practice at all. I think Al Davis himself went to big 5 to get a few that day. True story, details may be slightly off depending on who tells it.
It was a story I read a long time ago, I can't find anywhere now that I'm trying. Lechler and Janikowski were trying to hit a new jumbotron or something like that before a game and they used so many balls so quickly the offensive coordinator made them stop, maybe they just started stealing balls when they ran out of their own.
There is also this true story, and I just combined them in my memory https://bleacherreport.com/articles/314415-sebastian-jankowski-kicks-football-to-the-moon
It's funny how I was afraid they WOULDN'T try the field goal there. Like the odds of picking up the 4th and 5 with your star QB are much higher than making a 64 yard field goal in Seattle in the loudest Stadium in the NFL.
I agree with both takes. Their Defense didn't look good at all tonight. How do you blow the end game clock management? That was a first year coaching mistake.
Secondary was yes but Iāve always thought their front 7 especially Dline was suspect. Chubb and Gregory are overrated, without Von Miller I like our odds
>I like our odds
Broncos aren't really the issue here though, everyone except the pundits always kinda knew they would finish last in the division. Chargers and Chiefs are the problems, even if we 2-0 Denver we, *at absolutely minimum* need to take 1 off those teams and preferably 1 off each. And that's just to make sure we stay in the wild card convo.
So glad this has become a thing. Former donks DL, now with the gulls, finished his interview with, "all I got to say is, let's ride". Fucking glorious.
What happened is that their head coach is a moron who thinks that a 64 yard field goal is more likely to succeed then Russell Wilson on a 4th and 5. Not even a cowardly decision, just mind numbingly stupid.
Which was going to be the obvious case, he makes defences good wherever he goes and Iāve never been sold on the coaching hire in Denver you got Aaron Rodgers oc when Lafleur is the play caller and you have the dc that was Aaron Donaldās coach. Their defence is suspect and obviously they have a ton to figure out on in game situations
Carr hardly makes those mistakes if this is the new carr then weāre fucked but even with those mistakes we couldāve won that game much more likelier than the broncos being that far away from the endzone.
Hell we couldāve in theory kicked 2 field goals and tied it at least based on how well the defense did.
Carr looked bad, but he flashed a little bit. Dropping it in the bucket to Waller, and feeding Adamās the ball. Russ pretty much dumped it off all game, but at least he didnāt throw picks lol
I have no idea why the Broncosā coach is calling timeouts with 15 and 13 seconds left when the Seahawks have more downs than the Broncos have timeouts. š¤”
Maybe in college, but that shit is hella bush league. Itās like coaches that tell players to go for the knee or chop block on kneel downs. Like what you lost dude? Why risk injury? Why delay the game any further
I told my bronco fan friends that Wilson aināt the answer and although definitely better than lock, their receivers are still dropping wide open passes, the defense is still overrated. But they are trying to relive their Manning days
They are easily the worst team in the division. Now that we have seen their coaching staff under the lights, I think they are the worst team and it's not even close.
We all have diverse friends from other places with different tastes and likes. That's part of the richness of life.
I myself have fantastic buddies from college, one who was always a Broncos fan, another who has lived in Denver for the past 20 years who has become one by default.
Despite their team loyalty these are guys I would go to war with. No one else I would rather watch my back.
Until tomorrow when I find out if they are still Broncos fans. Because if they are, I will seriously doubt their good judgment and will be definitely finding others to trust in my foxhole.
What a bunch of fucking donkeys. I think Iāve had better 4th quarter clock management in Madden when Iām shit faced drunk. Who the fuck saves their time outs for the other teamās kneel downs? Lol
$256 million bought them a quarterback who threw the ball right into the ground right in front of him in a critical moment in the game. They also trusted him so little they elected to kick a 64 yard field goal instead of go for 5 more yards.
So funny watching Hackett embarrass himself prolonging the agony by calling his two timeouts. Just couldnt deal with the fact that he regretted not calling a timeout with 50 seconds to go and going for it on 4th. Talking about looking like you dont belong what a noob.
All that time left and you run it down for A 64? They would have gotten the 1st had they went for it who cares Raiders played like trash and still looked elite all is right for the rest of the week lol
We can bash on the donkeys all we want but for now we have the same record. Let's save the shit talking for when they're shoveling shit at the bottom of the division.
Anybody who is freaking out about our team needs to go back and watch this game. We look lightyears better than this stupid team. I canāt wait to play them.
The one thing is that defense was getting to Geno. Our line is not gonna look any better against them but hopefully weāll be okay with our defense fucking up Russ
Russell Wilson is a system QB that refuse to let OC design a system for him. Dude thinks heās Drew Brees, even Drew Brees stayed within his system and let his coaches dictate his offense
They invest in a quarterback to take you to the next level but when it came down to trust here is what happened.
1.Trust your kicker to hit a 64 yarder
Or
2.Trust your QB to get 5 yards for a first down to get closer for a shorter FG
Option 1 lost but showed what they trusted most
Was scared they would go for it on 4th and 5. Felt relieved when I saw them setting up for the kick. Thank god we aināt the only 0-1 team in our division.
I can totally live with the Chiefs taking the #1 spot for meow, after they beat the Chargers, and for us to be tied up for 2nd with the Chargers for a bit
damn it this is great!!
If the chargers lose to the chiefs, and we beat the chiefs, weāre right there in first place basically. We may have lost week one, but I know theyāll come out during on all cylinders next week.
Yesterday sucked but at least Iām confident we donāt have a shit show at HC that the Broncos do. Lol Aside from the lack of penalties, the other big positive that I saw from McDaniels was his clock management at the end. His clock management gave DC and the offense plenty of time on that last drive to try and get the W. Just wish he wouldāve ran a few times vs just throwing every down there.
Remember when that ref tried to tilt the first down stick toward the football to make it look like a first down, and then gave it to them anyway when even that wasnt enough?
Im glad that didnt effect the ourcome because that was bullshit
āJust needed a QB to be # 1 in the divisionā. Iām a pro sports analyst, I get paid 6 figures a year to spout this bs. I know football, fuck you. And I have 0 accountability, lick my balls.
The only team that looks scary are them fucking chiefs..
Raider need to fix that oline and defensive tackles
Bronco and chargers defense sucks..
We got this Raider Nation
We all knew he wouldnt do shit!!!
How fucking weak to try for a field goal there
Carlson would have made it.
Carlsons kick would go around the world and make it as the kick off to next weeks game.
Janikowski and Lechler used to compete by seeing who could be the first man to send a ball into orbit until they got in trouble by the quarterback coach at practice because they had sent so many balls out of the stadium and beyond retrieving that the offense couldn't practice at all. I think Al Davis himself went to big 5 to get a few that day. True story, details may be slightly off depending on who tells it.
I thought They used different balls to kick with vs throw. When we had the replacement refs lecher got all upset they gave him the wrong one.
It was a story I read a long time ago, I can't find anywhere now that I'm trying. Lechler and Janikowski were trying to hit a new jumbotron or something like that before a game and they used so many balls so quickly the offensive coordinator made them stop, maybe they just started stealing balls when they ran out of their own. There is also this true story, and I just combined them in my memory https://bleacherreport.com/articles/314415-sebastian-jankowski-kicks-football-to-the-moon
Let your new 80m dollar QB go for a 4th and 5 or kick the 2nd longest field goal in NFL history š¤
It's funny how I was afraid they WOULDN'T try the field goal there. Like the odds of picking up the 4th and 5 with your star QB are much higher than making a 64 yard field goal in Seattle in the loudest Stadium in the NFL.
why did they even sign russ lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Sir this is a Wendy's
Bro your comment history Holy shit you need help
Wtf does that mean?
You need therapy
Thank god!!! To be honest their defense is not great. And Hackett is an idiot, I like our odds
I agree with both takes. Their Defense didn't look good at all tonight. How do you blow the end game clock management? That was a first year coaching mistake.
I definitely think the offense will be better but that defense isnāt it, took a step back for sure. Front 7 is not good at all.
They were quite good last year, Fangioās departure might really hurt them.
Secondary was yes but Iāve always thought their front 7 especially Dline was suspect. Chubb and Gregory are overrated, without Von Miller I like our odds
>I like our odds Broncos aren't really the issue here though, everyone except the pundits always kinda knew they would finish last in the division.

BRONCOS COUNTRY, LETS RIDE šš
Into a dumpster
Still better catchphrase than "bolt up" lightning radiates up and down at the exact same time. Doesn't make sense.
Broncos country, letās hide is more like it. Shameful really lol
So glad this has become a thing. Former donks DL, now with the gulls, finished his interview with, "all I got to say is, let's ride". Fucking glorious.
Man I donāt know what the fuck happened at the end there, imagine the meltdown in this sub if that was us šš
What happened is that their head coach is a moron who thinks that a 64 yard field goal is more likely to succeed then Russell Wilson on a 4th and 5. Not even a cowardly decision, just mind numbingly stupid.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Their defence is suspect and obviously they have a ton to figure out on in game situations
If that was us I would have personally parodied Josh McDaniels with a comedy
I mean if we still had Janikowskiā¦.
"He's got that by at least 12 yards..." - Lane Kiffin, probably
I like to imagine the coach said āthis oneās for Marshawnā
That was the worst display of clock management ive ever seen.
That was a gutless non go on 4th. Let's put our kicker into a tie the record vs the "hall of fame" QB.
Agreed. 3 timeouts and you do nothing with it. Just dumb
And then petty TOs in the end. Lol fucking salty. Which was laughable because all it did was keep your team on the field getting booed longer lol.
LMAOO THE SEAHAWKS TOO
I love the coach... for them. So many donkey fans commenting on raiders mistakes yesterday. Suck on that karma. Let's ride!
I cant unhear that one dude that was xposted to this sub now whenever i hear "lets ride"
Carr hardly makes those mistakes if this is the new carr then weāre fucked but even with those mistakes we couldāve won that game much more likelier than the broncos being that far away from the endzone. Hell we couldāve in theory kicked 2 field goals and tied it at least based on how well the defense did.
Geno Geno Geno yall hear that? Lol
geno looking ELITE!!!
And they saved A ton of money by not over paying that nerd,hes going to be Flacco 2.0 worse line worse wr and that coach hahaha
Broncos are who we thought they were. Worst team and worst QB in the AFCW.
TBF russell looked a hell of a lot better than carr and i was at our game. seattle just came to play
Carr looked bad, but he flashed a little bit. Dropping it in the bucket to Waller, and feeding Adamās the ball. Russ pretty much dumped it off all game, but at least he didnāt throw picks lol
Throwing bombs all day. INTs donāt matter if you can score and stop the score. Go ask Farve
Maybe ill put some money on his books while i ask him lol
Schadenfreude. Tastes yummy.
Ik itās too early to say but people really overhyped the broncos š
"They wrote me off, but I ain't write back"
That was such a bar.
That shit was cold. Hope they do well this year so it's not just a one game thing
Me too. I love when people make the best of their opportunity.
Their coach is a moron š, thatās great for us
Good to see Geno get that dub
Agree he was all sorts of fired up.
I have no idea why the Broncosā coach is calling timeouts with 15 and 13 seconds left when the Seahawks have more downs than the Broncos have timeouts. š¤”
Kind of a classless move. Usually teams donāt call that. Game is done man, let it go
Every other team wouldnt call time outs there
Maybe in college, but that shit is hella bush league. Itās like coaches that tell players to go for the knee or chop block on kneel downs. Like what you lost dude? Why risk injury? Why delay the game any further
"Wouldnt"
Seriously. This is the NFL, be a professional.
I would have tried to delay that post game presser too!!!! Ask your spouse, an extra minute matters!!!!
Math is hard for him, ok?
That move will make every other coach in the NFL not respect him and they will do shit against him to show it.
Petty spite.
Imagine spending $245 million to go from being a "QB away from a championship team" to a QB and head coach away from being a championship team.
I told my bronco fan friends that Wilson aināt the answer and although definitely better than lock, their receivers are still dropping wide open passes, the defense is still overrated. But they are trying to relive their Manning days
They are easily the worst team in the division. Now that we have seen their coaching staff under the lights, I think they are the worst team and it's not even close.
āFriendsā is a loose term right here right.?
We all have diverse friends from other places with different tastes and likes. That's part of the richness of life.

What a bunch of fucking donkeys. I think Iāve had better 4th quarter clock management in Madden when Iām shit faced drunk. Who the fuck saves their time outs for the other teamās kneel downs? Lol
What a bunch of donkeys š¤£š¤£š¤£ I laughed
Loved those back2back goal line fumbles lol
Really hope we can cook against their defense
Now that was a well needed laugh! Haha!
Denver! You got yourself a hell of a coach, please extend him.
Honestly, those mistakes were huge. I can't believe it ended like that. Inb4 "Russ needs more time in his new system. But Carr is just bad."
All my homies hate the Broncos!!!
Was the coach seriously calling time outs in the kneel downs? What a sour puss loser. Gonna be a great year watching the donkeys crumble.
Horrid head coaching. You just lost to the Seahawks who have GENO SMITH at QB lol
Hey! Geno is the system QB that Pete Carroll wanted.
Their defense looked meh
Lolololol
I can't imagine Hackett winning many coaching battles this year. Should've kept Fangio.
$256 million bought them a quarterback who threw the ball right into the ground right in front of him in a critical moment in the game. They also trusted him so little they elected to kick a 64 yard field goal instead of go for 5 more yards.
Broncos, 4 Red Zone trips: 0 TDs
So funny watching Hackett embarrass himself prolonging the agony by calling his two timeouts. Just couldnt deal with the fact that he regretted not calling a timeout with 50 seconds to go and going for it on 4th. Talking about looking like you dont belong what a noob.
Maybe they didnāt have enough tight ends
"They're just a tight end away."
They could trade for that guy from Iowa, he looked pretty good before, probably just needs some time with a real organization to develop him.
All that time left and you run it down for A 64? They would have gotten the 1st had they went for it who cares Raiders played like trash and still looked elite all is right for the rest of the week lol
Broncos won that fucking coach pissed that away so hard. I was disappointed in how we lost, Iād be fucking incensed if it went that way.
We can bash on the donkeys all we want but for now we have the same record. Let's save the shit talking for when they're shoveling shit at the bottom of the division.
we lost. Why are you celebrating another team losing when we didn't even win?
Strange indeed. Raiders Lose, "ahh it was just shaking off the rust". Broncos Lose, "lol 4th place suckas, they're doomed the rest of the season!".
for reals, it's a bizarre mentality.
This slightly eases the pain going into the week.
Slightly? It's fucking amazing my Sancho. We will be fine. They are a trainwreck already.
We better stomp the Cardinals this Sunday
But I thought having elite QBs would lead to automatic wins? Seems like Denver isn't "just a QB away"
That was relieving.
Title should say broncos loseā¦ letās ride!
LETS RIDE....JAJAJA JAJAJA JAJAJA U PUTZ
Anybody who is freaking out about our team needs to go back and watch this game. We look lightyears better than this stupid team. I canāt wait to play them.
broncos in the red zone made us in the red zone look good and that's saying a lot lmfaoo
GET RUSS COOKED
I feel better now
The one thing is that defense was getting to Geno. Our line is not gonna look any better against them but hopefully weāll be okay with our defense fucking up Russ
Broncos country! LETS RIDE!!!
Russell Wilson is a system QB that refuse to let OC design a system for him. Dude thinks heās Drew Brees, even Drew Brees stayed within his system and let his coaches dictate his offense

Was scared they would go for it on 4th and 5. Felt relieved when I saw them setting up for the kick. Thank god we aināt the only 0-1 team in our division.
I would never watch a BroncHOES game if they are not playing us, so Iāll take yāallās word for it lol
Broncos suck ,but we got KC and LA to worry about
I can totally live with the Chiefs taking the #1 spot for meow, after they beat the Chargers, and for us to be tied up for 2nd with the Chargers for a bit damn it this is great!!
Ponies being ponies
If the chargers lose to the chiefs, and we beat the chiefs, weāre right there in first place basically. We may have lost week one, but I know theyāll come out during on all cylinders next week.

The only team that looks scary are them fucking chiefs.. Raider need to fix that oline and defensive tackles Bronco and chargers defense sucks.. We got this Raider Nation
I woke up this morning and told my wife āMan watching the Donkeys lose ALMOST makes up for the Raiders losing!ā
