The Raiders are in the division so the Broncos have to play them twice a year so you can't blame the schedule. My only beef is that I question the NFL showing this game in primetime as it only serves to prop up the Broncos and embaress the Raiders. You have a team loaded to win the Superbowl with a HOF QB vs a team that was $23 million over the cap and already short on talent that had to futher cut a handful of starting players (DHB, Seymour, Kelly, Huff) couldn't resign players they wanted to keep in Shaughnessy, Wheeler, Lechler, had to trade Palmer, etc. It's a complete scorched earth rebuild and I'm not making excuses because Al Davis put the team in position but is that really a team you want to showcase on Monday night against a stacked team like the Broncos?
