Very well deserved. I've said it before- but that stiff arm on the way to the end zone was one of the most entertaining I have ever seen. A great performance.

[FerrariFan87]

That was a no-brainer.... as should Willis winning the FedEx Ground POW.

[vibrantskies]

Congratulations McGahee! It was well earned. That play made me cheer and laugh at the same time.. Poor Raider..

[XxSizzleXx]

Well what can you say about Willis, he saved our season and was absolutely CLUTCH in the last game. I think the big run where he dummies Eugene with his stiff arms is one of the plays of the year for us.

[McBoller]

Im happy for him, but I cant believe Charles didnt get it for KC. 259yds and two tds...

I was thinking the same thing, but Ill take it lol

[Guest I-70WestRaven]

Quality wins out over quanity,Willis' yards were more meaningful and just plain clutch! Jim Rome's final burn yesterday (1/5) was on just how sick that head slap was, he flatout called it the best! If you can find it on ESPN.com it's worth a listen. Congrats Willis, steppin' up big time!

[Shawn`]

Yeah I'm surprised 256 yards didn't cut it.

But whatever, it was the Raiders vs Willis Mcgahee on sunday, and Willis won.

If he had done that in a meaningful game, maybe... but 167 yards, 3 TDs and that stiff arm won me and everyone else over.

It doesnt matter. The broncos are better than the raiders and anytime someone goes over 250yds thats pretty special.

[RoflDogs]

I think that stiff arm alone could have gotten him in

[RavingRaven]

I love Willis. After the way last season ended for him, I truly hope he helps to carry us to Super Bowl victory, the guy deserves it.

Then we can trade him for a legit WR or CB because his stock will be up.

So, do you love him or want to trade him?

Both. If you love something set it free and receive a sweet CB or WR, isn't that how the saying goes?

I'm saying good RBs are a dime a dozen when you have a capable offensive line. Now that his value has risen, let's address our weaknesses.

Far from it. Jamaal Charles ripped off 259 yards and 2 touchdowns in Denver. Not dismissing the efforts of Willis, but it's far from a cakewalk!

Sorry I don't mean to sound like I'm picking on you lol but that performance did extinguish Denver's playoff hopes.
