Game of the Week: Raiders @ Dolphins
The big question on everybody's mind is.....actually, there isn't one. Here in the fog of the Basement, the Raiders are on the road, which means: The GAME WILL ACTUALLY BE ON TV. In the land of the Silver and Blacked out, home games are a rumor. Of course, after last Monday's incredible embarrassment festival, perhaps the Silver and Blacked Out are smarter than we think. I almost choked on my Lucky Charms after writing that.
Now that it's been established that the Raiders have Darren McFadden and nothing else, how long will Carson Palmer try to be a game manager and not just start heaving the ball 40 yards downfield into a school of Dolphins? He's going to fall dangerously behind in the Interception King race if he doesn't get on the stick.
The Floppers, however, counter with rookie QB Ryan Tannehill, who racked up 3 interceptions last week in a solid Doormat debut. That will be harder to do against the Raydurzzz because the Raydurzzzzzz fired their ENTIRE defensive backfield shortly before the season began and replaced it with guys that might have trouble making the Colts.
The Flops may be onto something, whereas the Raydurz are just stepping in it.
Advantage: Dead Even. Whoever loses this game is on their way.
If the Duhs can find a long snapper and get their receivers to protect the ball, they might score some points. The Flops will hopefully find a way to embarrass their home crowd and lose with gusto.
