Obviously, I'm not going to want to spend too much time to delve into trouble last week for the Broncos lost 20-19 at home against the Raiders JaMarcus Russell in which awoke from the dead and led the Raiders to the winning touchdown. Needless to say, it's same old same old fans for us Broncos, who attended the fall team in December each year.Last year was particularly bad when they left three game division lead get away with three games to play, so forgive us if we Broncos fans are starting to get a little agitated. Despite all this, nobody expected the Broncos to lose a home game in a Raiders team that started Charlie Frye at quarterback. Unfortunately for the Broncos, the following have proved their loss:

- Lack of running game: Knowshon Moreno was held to just 42 rushing yards and the Broncos consistently below 3 and conversions during the short game.

- Red local execution: Twice the Broncos had a first and goal inside the five yard line, once in the first quarter and once in the fourth. Both times he managed investments. It is eight points left panel.

- The last game disc: Russell came in Frye injured and proceeded to carve the Broncos defense in place. Oakland converted a key fourth and 10 along the path and Russell actually showed a spark, perhaps for the first time in his career.

Now, to answer these three points.Regarding the racing game, I'm sick and tired of Broncos fans who are bagging on Moreno. While he struggled to find the holes the last two weeks, but let's not forget he leads all rookies in rushing by a country mile, despite the best seasons of Beanie Wells and LeSean McCoy. It is much more to running the football than just the back. The offensive line did not receive the push forward, especially on 3rd and 1 situations.On some of these pieces, I do not care if Walter Payton is back there, it is not finding a hole to go if the line is not preventing the defense from the get penetration. I wonder why Peyton Hillis is not in the game on some of these short pieces of yardage, but again the offensive line is responsible here too. As for Moreno, I think he has been asked to bear the lion's share of the burden of injury with Correll Buckhalter, and he also hit that proverbial rookie wall. I still think it is due for a big future in the NFL and he has the talent to be a Pro Bowl back....
