Raiders no whipping boys anymore demolish Broncos 59-14

Commentary Comments Off
For the past National Football League seasons most teams love to play the Oakland Raiders since they have better chances of winning against them.
The Raiders for the past NFL seasons had been called the favorite whipping boys of most teams in the premier professional football league in the planet.
However, this year such a tag will not hold water anymore as the Raiders are playing inspired and great determination to move into the top of the NFL echelon.
Last Sunday (October 24), the Raiders showed the Denver Broncos they are a far different team in the 2010 NFL season as they demolish the home-team 59-14.
The 59 points scored by the Raiders is considered as the most points in their 51-year history.
Raiders running back Darren McFadden was the gem of the night for the team as he scored four touchdowns and had a stunningly quick start to bring tears to the fans of the Broncos and create smiles to his team and their countless fans all over the globe.
McFadden was simply great in the game as he defy the tough defense put up by the Broncos to put the Raiders to a 3-4 win-loss record and dropped the Broncos to 2-5.
Raiders coach Tom Cable was very happy with their victory and vowed his team will play even harder so that they will get the chance to enter the NFL playoffs and even compete for the Super Bowl this year.
While the Raiders are celebrating, the Broncos are mourning since it is their fourth loss at home without a win.
Broncos coach Josh McDaniels apologized to the franchise and its fans for being win-less at home.
In the game, the Broncos was clearly overplayed as the Raiders pepper them with points that lead to their lopsided loss.
The loss of the Broncos was also partly blamed on the injuries suffered by three of its key defensive player namely emotional leader Brian Dawkins (knee), cornerback Andre’ Goodman (thigh) and linebacker Robert Ayers (foot).
Despite their loss, the Broncos are still very much confident of their chances in the 2010 NFL season.

Tony Brown Back for Titans

Previews Comments Off

After being on the list of the unable-to-perform-list (PUP), the management of the Tennessee Titans removed the defensive tackle Tony Brown leaving only David Thornton (still recovering from shoulder surgery) on the list. Tony Brown will now return to play on their preseason finale with the New Orleans Saints and be able to outdo his past performances as the Titans are set to have their first regular season game against the Oakland Raiders who’ll be visiting their home field, LP Field, on September 12, 2010 at 1:00PM.

Brown was put into the PUP after undergoing surgery on his right knee which led him to missing the last season’s finale. Brown told the reporters that it really feels good to be out of the PUP list and that he is so excited to be back on the game running around pain- and stress-free. He just can’t wait for their preseason finale game between the Saints. Meanwhile, having Tony Brown back just in time to face the Raiders will mean a lot to the Tennessee Titans. Veteran Cornerback Cortland Finnegan will also join the team in facing the Raiders, which will make the team a powerful cast.

Sportsbook and handicappers had set the Titans as the favorite, leaving the Oakland Raiders the underdog. Can this condition boosts their confidence and could hail them victorious against the Raiders? Bettors and fans, watch out!
