That Denver game is gonna be absolutely nuts! Wish I could go...we should deff be in the wild card if we don't win the division. Our division of course had to be one of the most competitive....
 
Watson was limited in practice today.

MEJ not with the team in FL. Not a good sign so far...according to Scott Bair

Exclusive: Casino mogul Adelson says no certainty over Las Vegas stadium for NFL's Raiders

Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson said he is prepared to walk away from a deal to build a stadium that would help relocate the National Football League's Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas if terms offered by the team do not improve.
"I negotiated to bring in the Oakland Raiders, an NFL football team from Oakland, because they don't have a stadium there, that I would build a stadium and rent it out to the Oakland Raiders," Adelson said on Wednesday during a travel technology conference in Tel Aviv.
Adelson, who succeeded this month in getting legislation passed to enable the construction of the stadium, said his problems now involve negotiations with the Raiders.
"They want so much," he said. "So I told my people, 'Tell them I could live with the deal, I could live without the deal. Here's the way it's gonna go down. If they don't want it, bye-bye,'" he said.
Adelson's comments signal potential for discord between the billionaire and the team at a time when momentum to build the stadium has been growing.
Nevada's governor, Brian Sandoval, signed a bill last week that would increase hotel taxes to help raise $750 million for a new $1.9 billion, 65,000-seat domed stadium. The legislation drew criticism from taxpayer groups and some labor unions, for providing public money for the stadium.
Adelson did not comment on any of the financial details, and a representative for the tycoon declined to elaborate on the remarks on Wednesday. Adelson, who is chief executive of gambling giant Las Vegas Sands Corp, has pledged up to $650 million toward building the stadium, with the remainder coming from the Raiders and the National Football League.
The Raiders relocation is not certain even if Adelson and the team agree terms. Any move would require approval from three-quarters of NFL franchise owners.
Influential owners including Dallas Cowboys proprietor Jerry Jones have already signaled their support. A decision by the owners is expected early next year.
A spokesman for the Raiders did not return requests for comment. A representative for Governor Sandoval also did not reply to requests for comment.

Been hearing some owners were skeptical about Adelson and what his intentions were...he's gonna ask for a lot because he can...

You would think the fine details or at least the terms would have been agreed to already before finding $750 mil from the state...oh Mark Davis...can't say I'm not surprised :smh: :lol:

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- ABC7 News has exclusive new information on the effort to build a new stadium for the Raiders to keep them in Oakland.

Sources with inside knowledge from top NFL officials told ABC7 News Oakland and Alameda County officials are now reviewing the term sheet submitted last week by Fortress Investment, a key player in the group led by NFL Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott.

ABC7 News sources say the term sheet contains multiple options involving the land on the coliseum site, funding and infrastructure.

They say work still needs to be done, but they believe the details of the term sheet can by finalized before Thanksgiving.

That would put Oakland in a strong position to convince the league to keep the Raiders in Oakland.

It's important to note, NFL relocation rules state if a viable stadium option can be submitted by a local market, the league will not accept an application for relocation. In this case, blocking any potential effort by the Raiders and Mark Davis to move to Las Vegas.

this dude just used Mark for leverage to get his convention center plans approved :lol:
 
Aldon Smith applies for reinstatement.

MEJ eligible the come back next week if healthy. [emoji]128591[/emoji]
 
Broncos CJ Anderson jus went down the year...im amped for that Denver game. We beat Tampa and say Phillip goes off on Denver on Sunday. That Denver game could b a division decider(maybe, lol)...sittin second in the AFC...feelin goooood!
 
Who gets cut for Aldon & Mario?

candidates:
RB Taiwain Jones - injury problems, put him on IR. This is my 2nd or 3rd candidate.
OL Denver Kirkland - he's been playing well as the 6th blocker / TE in jumbo packages. Id leave him on the squad
TE Ryan O'Malley - promoted to take Lee Smith's spot but hasn't had many snaps and probably isn't ready. This would be my number 1 candidate. Would go back to PS.
CB Antonio Hamilton - only active in 1 game this year I believe. Would go back to PS. This would be my 2nd or 3rd candidate.

O' Malley
 
All them dudes hurt except for Jacquizz. He's always been who Devonta Freeman's style reminded me of, he'll probably get a bill from scrimmage on Sunday.
 
No McGee this weekend has me nervous.

Ward is playing better but we're gunna need Dan, Jelly, Denico, Lathan & Jihad to really hold down the middle of the line this weekend. Gotta shut down that running game.

That middle of the line is what really worries me most about our defense at this point, if MEJ comes back healthy we should be straight and I could really see this team going deep.

And Reggie Nelson :smh:

I really wish this team would try switching up their defensive schemes more, I really liked it when they were more hybrid last season and gettin into that 3-4 formation.

They need to dial it up like the Baltimore game. 
 
I think they'll get more creative with the defensive fronts once Mario & Aldon officially come back
 
just got tickets to the Bills game

It's Latham, Autry, and Williams stepping up this weekend. C'mon D!
