Week 8 Discussion

Broncos vs Chargers Friday should be one of the few good friday games

i dunno.

i reckon itll be a good win by the Broncos. Your receivers with their size will be a tough match up given our corners size...
Pretty sure we have some injuries there too. but every team has injuries.

we need to put manning on the ground. early, often and hold the ball. Oliver is going ok. Losing Ingram is annoying.
hoping Freeney has a big game.

i just dont think the defence we have is good enough yet. its improved on last year but last week was a slip.
That said is the broncos running game good enough. who knows. manning is.

I would expect the Broncos to cover but itll be a good game. i was more confident of beating em in the thursday game last year.


The lions should win at Wembly.
I am aslo backing the Ravens. i like em. Joe Flacco has the best deep ball in the land. Bengals. blah


Hope the Jags and the Browns win again

our 3rd down D has been terrible, no matter how far a team has to go they almost always convert via the pass, saw it again in the 49ers game has to be improved on or rivers will make them pay

Our run d is again excellent though one of the best in the league & it looks like miller/ware are starting to hit top form hopefully it continues friday

Really excited to see Detroit play Falcons at Wembley, especially because I'll get to see them play live, which rarely happens.

It's at 12:30am Monday morning on 7mate for those who are interested.

I'm not, we are going to get stomped. Impossible to watch us at the moment. If we get close it'll only be because the lions play bad. We have no confidence in offense and that's our strength

0-16 is really hard to do. So outright stink so badly for 16 straight games, that's tough.
But yeah, there isnt much hope in that schedule... Rams? Bills?

I agree that 0-16 is tough to do... But that draw is really rough...

I'm probably bias... But I actually don't think we are the worst team in the league... I think we would beat Jags if we played them... And even the Bucs.

But then again... that's probably homer talk... :lol:

Getting number 1 will be good for you, trade down get a Rams like bounty of picks for Whoever wants Mariotta, pick up the Better QB in Winston at 4-5, and hopefully some other pieces.

Mariota is the consensus number 1... But I think Derek Carr is our guy...

So a trade down would be on the cards you would think...

A pass rusher, a stud tackle or a WR would be what we will be looking at Id say...

in a very bad side Carr has looked really good

and or a decent corner would be good

Speaking of the number 1 pick...

Check out this crazy mock trade ESPN were talking about...

Eagles trade running back LeSean McCoy, linebacker Brandon Graham and 2015 second-round and fifth-round picks to the Oakland Raiders for their (potential No. 1 overall) 2015 first-round pick

For the record I think that would be a terrible trade for the Raiders... McCoy is great... But I don't think an upgrade at RB is going to change much...

I'd throw the kitchen sink at Suh this offseason... And trade down and grab the best pass rusher on the board...

Could even see if Houston would be willing to trade Clowney for the golden ticket to Mariota or Winston.

I know it's not exactly getting Carr the weapons he needs... But I think getting Carr on the field more often will help also...

That's interesting. Presumably we'd be giving up on this year with that deal, which at 5-1 and having not played near our best, seems crazy

That said, we could move McCoys large salary, we end up with 2 first rounders, Mariota and maybe Melvin Gordon? Then i guess we move Nick Foles to a QB needy team for some pass rush/corner help or picks to aquire that help

Interesting potential deal, I dont know who says no

why would ya do that if you are the raiders?

so they are gunna come last, maybe 3 wins at best.

come last, get first, trade down get more picks etc. they need talent.
