McFadden is the best player on the Raiders offense when healthy. So you're strategy is correct, but not to save embarrassment, but to win. Teams can run the ball down teams throats and still embarrass their opponent. I don't expect McFadden to own you like he did in the past but if he did, I wouldn't be too shocked. We all expect the Raiders to run and run some more to keep the ball out of Manning's hands, since he is the Raiders best offensive player and Pryor is a desperate option. The key is turning those clock consuming drives into scores, otherwise it's a blowout. It's smart football, I'm sure you know this though.

You'll be surprised that running the ball effectively and using up the clock is great strategy against every team, especially the passing teams. Some teams even run to ice the game, unlike Ronnie Hillman who, if he ran the ball effectively for those final minutes, would have avoided the embarrassment that came afterwards for your Broncos. That's why you laugh at our Superbowl loss yet we laugh at your mere divisional round loss.

besides, IIRC volek threw 4 short passes in that game compared to rivers' monster game he had. you donk fans that use that angle just to talk smack, nothing more.
volek did his job as the back up but that was rivers' win.

But your right Rivers got the credit for Sproles and Voleks work.

I have no problem with smack talk based on fact... even if its hypothetical, as long as its believable! Rivers is not believable right now! Even if he wins tomorrow. Hes starting to be in the same category as Tony Romo. You never know what you have on any given sunday.
