Another win in Miami?
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, November 16th, 2008 at 9:43 am in Oakland Raiders.
Note: Didn’t make the Miami trip this week, so no live in-game blogs today. Will post a wrap-up following the game.
Is it really too much to ask to convert a few third down plays and punch the ball into the end zone two or three times?
If the Raiders could manage to do that, it’s not inconceivable they could beat the Miami Dolphins today.
There may be stats and events that serve as signposts to 3-13, but keep in mind the schedule has been brutal since Tom Cable took over for Lane Kiffin.
They got the Saints at home, where they’ve lost only once. Baltimore is now considered a dark horse AFC Super Bowl contender. The New York Jets are 7-3 and atop the AFC East _ and that’s a game the Raiders won.
Most recently, Atlanta is NFC’s turnaround story of the year and Carolina is atop the NFC South at 8-2.
The Dolphins are 5-4 and coming off a 21-19 win over a Seattle team which stands at 2-7, same as the Raiders.
I’m not suggesting there is any sort of remarkable turnaround in the offing, only that every once in awhile teams with bad records do enough right in an afternoon to defeat one with a better record.
If a few things go the Raiders way, today could be one of those days.
For instance:
– A big play by Darren McFadden, preferably for a touchdown. Short of that, McFadden’s presence sets up someone else for a touchdown. Touchdowns are so hard for the Raiders to come by, they could use a quick strike.
– A few first downs from Ronald Curry, who could be back in the starting lineup today with Javon Walker out for the season and Chaz Schilens active but hobbling with an ankle sprain. He’s the only player with a real sense of how to get past the third down stake _ now he’s got to remember how to hold on to the ball.
– A running game that gets 150 to 175 yards rushing after gaining 299 in Miami last year. It would help if a lot of that is straight at Joey Porter, slowing his pass rush. There were some signs against Carolina the Raiders were starting to snap out of their run-funk.
The Raiders can’t afford another sack-fumble from JaMarcus Russell and zero interceptions would be nice. Today’s backup is Marques Tuiasosopo, as Andrew Walter is listed as the third quarterback because of an ankle sprain.
– A big kickoff return or two from newcomer Justin Miller. Sometimes a little juice from a recent acquisition can do wonders. Better kick coverage, the usual 2008 performances from punter Shane Lechler and kicker Sebastian Janikowski. That means making every field goal attempt from 50 yards and in, and maybe a kick or two from beyond.
– A defensive performance which rivals last week. Chad Pennington isn’t going to beat the Raiders deep, so the tackling must be good. Tommy Kelly was as stout in the middle against the Panthers as he has been all season.
The “Keep it simple’’ approached worked well last week.
– A wakeup call. West Coast teams have been coming out in a fog in 10 a.m. starts. Fact is, it’s a problem of bad West Coast teams. It’s an excuse. Don’t use it.
I’ll check in following the game . . .

Thats great Jerry! sheese even jerry cant watch this train wreak anymore

Bill Cower for GM/Coach.

Here’s to DMac showing folks how to Run the WildHog offense.
November 16th, 2008 at 9:49 am
And I hate to say it, because I hate this guy with a passion, but It would not upset me to see Marty Shotenheimer as our coach.
November 16th, 2008 at 9:49 am
Bloody Marry any 1?….
November 16th, 2008 at 9:50 am
No kiddin’, that’s how desparate we are for a real coach, Even Schottenheimer got his teams into the playoffs.
November 16th, 2008 at 9:51 am
408, I’ll take a Bloody Mary, thanks, and make mine a double.
November 16th, 2008 at 9:51 am
Watch the Game on TV Jerry you fukin idiot. Why the hell can’t you comment on the game the same way by watching it on TV?
What a freakin reject!
November 16th, 2008 at 9:51 am
Very nice Mr McDonald. Pointing out the possibility that things could actually go right for a change is refreshing without undermining any journalisitic neutrality you may harbor. Thanks. Hope you have plenty to write about (in the same vein) after the contest.
November 16th, 2008 at 9:52 am
Maybe Fargas is ready to re-live his greatest game ever and pound the fins for 150+ again today.
November 16th, 2008 at 9:53 am

Hey 408, does the KSFO website also carry the game, or only the pregame show?

I dont think it will be as hard to find a coach as everyone thinks. For each head coach in the NFL theres fifteen lean mean hungry wannabees ready to chop a testicle off to be one of 32 big dogs.
______________________________________________________
So true.. the question is, are any of these wannabees any good? if we don’t get a good coach we are just a big mess as we are now..

FASSEL WANTS TO COACH THE RAIDERS
Posted by Mike Florio on November 16, 2008, 12:33 p.m.
The conventional wisdom in NFL circles is that the only persons who’ll want to coach the Raiders are those who have no other options.
And former Giants coach Jim Fassel has fueled that perception by sending a handwritten letter to Raiders owner Al Davis, according to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen.
(Handwritten letter? Did Fassel send it by Pony Express?)
In the letter, Fassel expresses respect and admiration for Davis, and Fassel states his desire to coach the team.
The word on the NFL street regarding Fassel is that he’s generally regarded as a guy who won’t get another head-coaching gig. But in the black hole that is the Oakland Raiders, the normal rules of football physics simply don’t apply.
November 16th, 2008 at 9:58 am
Martyball would be fantastic and beating the yellow pus out of the discharge would be like rainbow stew and free bubbleup.
November 16th, 2008 at 9:59 am
Hell yeah boy, just snaked the secrataries speaker sysyem, I thought I was going to be stuck with the Packers-Bears and Ravens-Giants
November 16th, 2008 at 9:59 am
JT, A lot of people on The Al’s payroll hate him too.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:01 am
What every raider fan should be pulling for and discussing is a GM, not a coach. Any new coach in Oakland is set for failure even before he gets offered the job.
We should be talking about a GM.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:01 am

First play of the game:
False start.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:05 am

November 16th, 2008 at 10:06 am
first possession, J. Russell – 2/2 0 yds.
two completions, 0 yards. Only the Raiders…

November 16th, 2008 at 10:10 am
Stupid penalties.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:10 am
Offense and Defense, one penalty each on their first drives. I think it might just be “one of those days” as Jerry put it, though not how he meant it…lol.
Lets hope not.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:10 am
Idiots.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:10 am
se how i predicted that
November 16th, 2008 at 10:11 am
hahahahahhaa yea the d is great…when it dont count of course…they will play lights out after its 21-0 miami
November 16th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Weak and stupid. That’s what they are. Wonderful combo, that.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Freakin PATHETIC! How many times has Kalimba been offsides this year?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Man, our D really helps the other teams offense stay on the field. And then they complaint that they are on the field for too long.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:12 am
u go from on the doorsteps….2nd and long to 2 1st downs ina row…only da raidahs
November 16th, 2008 at 10:12 am

November 16th, 2008 at 10:12 am
“Legs go dead on contact” seems to be a fitting description of Mc Fadden. Then we blow a chance to bury the Porpoises in their own end and blow it. I am going to surf the other games. Thank God for DirecTV League Pass
November 16th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Fassell sucks up to Al

November 16th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Ok, so how are they gonna F up this third down?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Once it’s 7-0 fins it’s over!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Sunday Ticket…not League Pass
November 16th, 2008 at 10:13 am
mcfaddins nothing at this point, speed is all over this league….
November 16th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Giants just scored on their first possession. Against the Ravens D, none the less.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:14 am
hahahahahaa ryans d is great…not there fault…what a joke
November 16th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Man, teams must LOVE to play against our defense. Weak, stupid and predictable — what’s NOT to love?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:15 am
yea lack of heart…..ryans d sucks ass
November 16th, 2008 at 10:15 am
game over! Time for the team to quit!!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:15 am
We are the worst team in the history of the NFL. The 76 Bucs could kick our butt.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:16 am
Penalties kill us
November 16th, 2008 at 10:16 am
wow the offensive player of the week……Ginn, the joke called ryan continues
November 16th, 2008 at 10:16 am
92 yard TD drive, good job D!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:16 am
get ready for a 3 and out on offense!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Game is finished.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:17 am
What’s the over-under on the next penalty? I’ve got the kickoff return.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:17 am
we must be the worse in giving up points on opening drives
November 16th, 2008 at 10:17 am
I like aso but he will never ever be as good as charles woodson, he cant tackle like woodson
November 16th, 2008 at 10:18 am
Our best chance to score is on this kickoff
November 16th, 2008 at 10:18 am
here’s we go…..another blow out in the making
November 16th, 2008 at 10:18 am
I don’t know why I get excited to watch this team every week
November 16th, 2008 at 10:19 am
33-0 miami at the half
November 16th, 2008 at 10:19 am
What are the odds on 3 and out again?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:19 am
Miller is doing ok so far though…
November 16th, 2008 at 10:19 am
3 and out time
November 16th, 2008 at 10:20 am
Ok, here we go: let’s run Fargas up the middle! They’ll never expect that!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:20 am
Im gonna need alot more booze for this….be right back
November 16th, 2008 at 10:20 am
i figure if dude doesn’t take it the house on this kickoff, might as well punt
November 16th, 2008 at 10:20 am
like i said, might as well punt now
November 16th, 2008 at 10:21 am
punters by far best weapon we have
November 16th, 2008 at 10:21 am
The one good play we’re probably going to have all day, and that stupid advertisement thing was in the way.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:21 am
Denver’s new no name RB Hillis, just scored a TD. lol… McWHO?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:22 am
I hope Al Davis is watching another fiasco in progress. Two good returns by miller but two defensive penalties sustaining maimi’s drive. They have dmac back and are not using him!! how ready is he really??????????
November 16th, 2008 at 10:22 am
Ron Curry…glad to see you back!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:22 am
Looks like Curry remembered how to catch. For now, at least. Just wait until crunch time.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:22 am
Culpepper 4/4 52 yards 1TD. even he sounds good right now.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:22 am
Curry is actually showing up.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:22 am
terrible long throw, worse drop
November 16th, 2008 at 10:23 am
Curry sucks!!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:23 am
I just watched the replay of the Ginn TD, and he could’ve been tackled like 4 times, and no one could do it. lol…
November 16th, 2008 at 10:24 am
raiders suck!!!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:24 am
One team comes out of the tunnel & ready to execute and play tackle football.
The other team comes out ready to make stupid penalties.
Rob Ryans vaunted defense what happen did the offense leave them on the field too long ?????
No it was the first possession for Miami, oh well
Commitment to Excellence!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:24 am
We still have no receivers who can separate. They should 1st establish a running game. That’s how we beat these guys last year.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:24 am
D-Mac goes in the game and D has to call a TO. Any doubt he is our biggest threat? I don’t think any team has called a TO on D against our offense all year
November 16th, 2008 at 10:24 am
That wasn’t a terrible throw. A good receiver would have come up with the catch, in fact. Curry just waited for it to come to him. That dog won’t hunt in the NFL.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:24 am
booze makes me feel sooo much better…..margaritas rock
November 16th, 2008 at 10:24 am
Yes they do suck
November 16th, 2008 at 10:25 am
jb curry had his guy beat and jambusto underthrew like normal
November 16th, 2008 at 10:25 am
come on guys the curry that caught that pass from collins in showy denver has long left the station!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:25 am
wat about mcfadden put him in let him run
November 16th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Miller actually looks like a football player. AL better find a way to cut this kid ASAP!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Yes! Keep giving it to Fargas. He’s the greatest.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Curry just passed up the production of every receiver in the last 3 games with 2 CATCHES!
He was and still is their best receiver…
Tom Cable and Al Davis are so stupid for benching him when he is the best receiver they have for absolutely no reason.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:26 am
4 down territory????
November 16th, 2008 at 10:26 am
ahhahahahaaa….cant see the rush cant read a blitz….he fking sucks
November 16th, 2008 at 10:26 am
hmm
November 16th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Maybe not
November 16th, 2008 at 10:27 am
shane lechler best person on team
November 16th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Back to our specialty – punting.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:27 am
There’s the punt we knew was comming
November 16th, 2008 at 10:27 am
oh that’s why their are not using dmac! he is have to block for our pathetic o line!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:27 am
fumblitis gonna set in soon
November 16th, 2008 at 10:27 am
I think Fargas has leaped into #1 scholarship status for playing over Bush & DMAC. Probably the dumbest move since benching Marcus Allen.
Commitment to Excellence!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:28 am
not able to see the game, but am following it on yahoo gamechannel…..to those of you are are watching…be descriptive, if you could….
November 16th, 2008 at 10:28 am
well at least we got our first down out of the way for the day.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:28 am
mcfaddins nothing…..speed is nothing in the nfl….are u guys on drugs sheesh
November 16th, 2008 at 10:29 am

November 16th, 2008 at 10:29 am

November 16th, 2008 at 10:29 am
Hey Al a good receiver would of had that pass easily.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:29 am
this is piss poor
November 16th, 2008 at 10:29 am
Seen enough of this garbage,…the Raiders are pure garbage,…Russell is one big stupid wannabe quarterback,…nice day outside, heading to the river, the Raiders are not worth watching.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:29 am
I AM PISSED! I SHOULD HAVE PICKED UP MIAMI’s DEFENSE THIS WEEKEND IN FANTASY FOOTBALL! SHYT SHYT SHYT SHYT!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:29 am
i didnt agree with benching marcus allen, but at that time Bo was way better and marcus acted like a bitch and caused the whole thing
November 16th, 2008 at 10:30 am
wow impressive
November 16th, 2008 at 10:30 am
Mikey D, how descriptive can we be…THEY SUCK
November 16th, 2008 at 10:30 am

November 16th, 2008 at 10:31 am
Yeah, there you go — celebrate your one good play, you effing idiots.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:31 am

November 16th, 2008 at 10:31 am

November 16th, 2008 at 10:31 am
We’ll be seeing the Wildcat plays soon.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:32 am

November 16th, 2008 at 10:32 am
coverage sack.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:32 am
yes he did but good receivers can adjust and make the play, plus he is so slow
November 16th, 2008 at 10:32 am
Pennington just pulled a Jim ‘Chrissie’ Everet. I’ll take it, though.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:32 am

you aint’ telling me nothing.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:33 am
7-0 will be the final score.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:34 am
mickey D I think its actually worse watching the carnage! But the d actually showed up on the last series and we have good field position to hopefully set up for a jano FG! LOL!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:34 am
he outran the coverage….and was underthrown by the STRONG armed idiot…like normal, then 2 defenders were there……….are you that stupid? man u fans need to wake up, dont drink so much koolaide
November 16th, 2008 at 10:34 am
Time for more Cable creative play calling. His whole sheet is designed for 3 & out.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:35 am
run up the middle… didn’t see that coming
November 16th, 2008 at 10:35 am
All right, my favorite play — Fargas up the middle.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:35 am
mcfadins not healthy…something reads that they are lying about his injury
November 16th, 2008 at 10:35 am
thanks vegas raider, but i live in deepest, darkest, discharger country….but im gonna see if espn radio might be carrying it…appreciate you looking out though
November 16th, 2008 at 10:35 am

Fargas has 4 carries for 4 yards. lol… one yard at a time I guess….lol
November 16th, 2008 at 10:35 am
Can we just punt on 2nd down and save some time?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:35 am
Woo — he got five this time. What a joke!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:36 am

November 16th, 2008 at 10:37 am
Do we have any plays designed to get the ball out quickly on a 3rd down blitz??
November 16th, 2008 at 10:37 am
There goes JR. He’s limping out of the game. Who’s next Tui? Now we are really screwed!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:37 am

November 16th, 2008 at 10:40 am
Oh, good. Looks like we’re going from the worst starting quarterback in the league to the worst backup in the league. I’m not sure whether that’s good or bad.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:41 am

Obviously you don’t understand football if you think you need one of those. You need to go long in those situations.
I think we tried to go long, and we saw how that worked. No O-line = quick passes
November 16th, 2008 at 10:41 am
Sam Williams is lost! jeeesh
November 16th, 2008 at 10:41 am
another big run by brown, and whiff tackle by gibril wilson.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:41 am
How come they didn’t celebrate their great play on first down like they usually do?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:42 am
run right, where the hell is williams!?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:42 am
PLEASE LET US HEAR THAT BIG IDIOT JAMARCUS JUST HAD A CAREER ENDING KNEE INJURY!!!….OH MY GOD JAMARCUS IS A BUM…BUST…LOSER….STUPID.

For all of you who can’t see the game on TV because your cheap azzes don’t have Directv, I have a image from the game of Tom Cable.

I wonder what it’s like to root for a team whose offensive linemen give their quarterback time to look downfield…..Must be so much fun.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:43 am
Sorry, didn’t get the sarcasm. Good one
November 16th, 2008 at 10:44 am
14-0 coming up
November 16th, 2008 at 10:44 am
Jamarcus went to the table and they were looking at it. He did get up, so he will be in the game.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:44 am
Good strip. Something right for a change.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:44 am
johnsons the man!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Now let’s run Fargas up the middle two times and get sacked on third down. THAT’S how you capitalize on a turnover.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:45 am
three and out
November 16th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Nice strip!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:45 am
I guess if you can’t bring them down try to strip it
November 16th, 2008 at 10:45 am
I hope the plane goes down on the flight home.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:45 am
did we just get lucky???
November 16th, 2008 at 10:45 am

Skloomsh – you left out the false start
November 16th, 2008 at 10:45 am
what else is knew false start
November 16th, 2008 at 10:45 am
my god this team needs a real coach…
November 16th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Maybe Bill Challhan was right when he said we are the dumbest team in america….
November 16th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Lets punt now !!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:46 am
HAHAHAHA!!!!…RUSSELL OUT!!!!!….HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!….STAY AWAY YOU BIG PUUSSYY.

Man, we really know how to take advantage of other teams’ mistakes, don’t we? Good god, what a pukey bunch!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:46 am
Lechler deserves to go to the pro bowl, lets start punting on first downs.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:47 am
is that McFadden?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:47 am
THE NFL NEEDS TO CANCEL THIS GAME.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:47 am
Is this a game?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:47 am
Tui the worst QB in the league, even worse than John Beck.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:47 am
I know Jamarcus may turn out to be a big bust, but when he leaves the game, it takes a lot of thunder out of the game for us fans. What else do we have to look forward to?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:47 am
3 & 20.. like cable said, you throw to get the lead and pass to protect it…whaaaat?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:47 am
Bring in Jeff Otis!

November 16th, 2008 at 10:48 am
the fact that they ran it there tells you everything you need to know
November 16th, 2008 at 10:49 am
Regarding his history as a head coach at Idaho and offensive coach at UCLA and Colorado, Cable said…
“Not too many people move the ball like I did in college football, whether it was at Colorado, Idaho or UCLA. So I’m very confident that way, very confident.”
November 16th, 2008 at 10:49 am
FANS WHO SAY THEY WANT TO SEE JAMARCUS PLAY ARE CLEARLY RETARDED.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:49 am
this is suck a joke. anyone not watching the game is better off. Just wait to see the final score and know that the game was much worse than the score. They are terrible. They truely do not look like a NFL team at all
November 16th, 2008 at 10:49 am
lechler: finally some quality football,
November 16th, 2008 at 10:49 am
Just stay the course, keep running Fargas up the middle, everything’s ok. We should be able to get out of here losing by no more than 21 points or so. That IS our goal, right?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:49 am
Here is my view, we get dumb players I.E.
Cornel Greene, Kwame Harris, Javon Walker, DeAngelo Hall(when we had him), Trevor Scott (mr. offsides) and Kalima Edwards (do these guys watch the football?)
it’s a mix of bad managment, bad coaching, and just plain stupid players. that is a recipe for an Al Davis 4-12 season.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:49 am
new picture of booze was needed….man i missed a actual football play….a strip….cut that bastard now al he needs to play on a real team
November 16th, 2008 at 10:49 am
Let DMac play the QB spot. Put M. Bush in there too. Bench Tui. Time for a pu$$y stretcher – our version of the wildcat.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:49 am
so McFadden goes in, gets 8 yards in his first run of the game, and then we go back to Fargas for a -1? He’s been getting that all day. WHy go back to him????
November 16th, 2008 at 10:49 am
Tui is the best !
November 16th, 2008 at 10:50 am
here is our best player shane lechler!! Just like last week, a defensive turnover-followed by a 3 and out!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:50 am
“Not too many people move the ball like I did in college football, whether it was at Colorado, Idaho or UCLA. So… were going backwards frigin cable guy!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:50 am
#217 I am sure you mean 2-14, this team wont win 2 more games.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:51 am
Even #21 is offsides.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:51 am
I guess Nnamdi was feeling left out, what with everyone making stupid mistakes and all.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:51 am
Tui, tui how can u have the worst o-line,wr, qb,dt, depth in the nfl its almost imposible way go big al love how cable has the boys ready to play.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:52 am
YOu know your bad when your corners are sprung for offsides.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:52 am
ryan needs to tell these guys….kill em, pin your ears back and go, they are playing like crap anyways
November 16th, 2008 at 10:52 am
bam! way to go 53!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:52 am
nobody celebrates avg tackles like my man howard
November 16th, 2008 at 10:52 am
Cool — you can always count on Howard celebrating on second down. It’s something of a lost art.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:52 am
Best chance to score is on D or special teams
November 16th, 2008 at 10:53 am
holyroller, i agree, they way they look now –no way we win more games!!!!!!!!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:53 am
morrison acting like they made a play…what a joke these players are….
November 16th, 2008 at 10:53 am
Al Davis needs to get some steroids in house ASAP we have a bunch of women on the offense.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:53 am
Three and out! Three and out! Three and out! I don’t believe it! Now let’s run Fargas up the middle two times and get sacked on third down. Woo hoo!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:53 am
nice series, D…. just blitz williams on every play he doesn’t know where to stand whenin coverage
November 16th, 2008 at 10:54 am
Bubba Gump is back in.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:54 am
JLH couldn’t break wind if his life depended on it.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:54 am
Russsssssssy issssssss baaaaaack!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:55 am
how about the qb just backs up and throws long….even when intercepted it will gain more yards than the offense is
November 16th, 2008 at 10:55 am
defense is good offense sucks
November 16th, 2008 at 10:55 am
JLH is running too tentatively and scared!! He has definitely regressed as well!!!!!!! That return sucked-no burst, no cut, nothing!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:56 am
hes is studdering stepping to much
November 16th, 2008 at 10:56 am
2nd and short…we can fk this up
November 16th, 2008 at 10:56 am
Al Davis needs to go away!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:56 am
run run sack punt… helluva game plan Cable!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:56 am
Jim Fassell do you really want this?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:56 am
Norco Bob is an Idiot!1
November 16th, 2008 at 10:56 am
shut up al davis made this team he is a legend he is a true raider
November 16th, 2008 at 10:56 am
These is NO offense in the offense.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:57 am
long again?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:57 am
hahahahaha….see throw deep we gain more yards
November 16th, 2008 at 10:57 am
First down!!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:57 am
Wow best play of the game PI!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:57 am
That’s our best play
November 16th, 2008 at 10:57 am
Pass interference= our best offensive play
November 16th, 2008 at 10:57 am
Looked like the old Drew Buie pass interference play from the 60’s
November 16th, 2008 at 10:57 am
LOL…even a raiders fan knows that was a bad call…what waffle ball throw!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:57 am
Al Davis did most certainly make this team, thats the friggin problem !!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:57 am
thats how bad we suck, the refs are our offense!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:58 am
hahaha! russel count hit a deep throw foor his life!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:58 am
You go Ashley!!!!!!!!!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:58 am
he OVERTHREW this guy lucky they got a flag…..chubbusto sucks ass
November 16th, 2008 at 10:58 am
Longest gain in weeks
November 16th, 2008 at 10:58 am
JB – Do you mean to say the Offense is Offensive
November 16th, 2008 at 10:58 am
That interference play was our highlight.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:59 am
Good timeout.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:59 am
TD Hot-lanta, Dungver losing
November 16th, 2008 at 10:59 am
Good timeout. This way Fargas can catch his breath and they can give it to him up the middle again.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:59 am
they have to take a timeout because there offensive game plan doesnt have anything for on the other side of the 50 yd line hahahahahahaahahahahah
November 16th, 2008 at 10:59 am
i dress in black
That works. So does “no matter what color you paint a turd, it’s still a turd!”
November 16th, 2008 at 11:00 am
Gotta love that russel was drafted for the long ball, and hasn’t hit a long pass in 2 years time….dam Al is good!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:00 am
272
LOL
November 16th, 2008 at 11:00 am
was damn good play fake and protection right there though…he just cant hit a reciever
November 16th, 2008 at 11:00 am
Just got done raking leaves, fixing doors and doing some other work around the house.
Doesn’t look like I missed much.
Is McFadden hurt again, or is Cable simply not using him?
November 16th, 2008 at 11:00 am
You know what I think. That Al Davis has gotten in touch with Vince McMahon and decided to put a XFL team together just in case the XFL ever makes a come back. Then we will have the best team in the league for sure! lol…
November 16th, 2008 at 11:00 am
Cable is an excellent playcaller……yes excellent…
excellent.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:00 am
272 LOL!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:01 am
wow he hit a play, millers a badass
November 16th, 2008 at 11:01 am
Nice Pass
November 16th, 2008 at 11:01 am
20 mins of football, 20 yards for Jamarcus.
I REALLY think he might blow up and get 100 yards today.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:01 am
Fargas up the middle for a yard — who would have ever predicted that?
November 16th, 2008 at 11:01 am
ok cable man,
since you insist on pounding the rock, use bush, not fargas
November 16th, 2008 at 11:02 am
Where is hell is DMAC or M BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:02 am
Freaking Harris.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:02 am
a penalty.. who would have ever predicted that? On Kwame.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:02 am
Dakota..
28-28.. very exciting =)
November 16th, 2008 at 11:02 am
Kwame !!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:02 am
great sucky harris gets back to his penalties!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:02 am
run run false start, sack, punt… yea, thats about right
November 16th, 2008 at 11:03 am
mcfadins speed in nfl…nada
November 16th, 2008 at 11:03 am
runbyme harris with the penalty
November 16th, 2008 at 11:03 am
hey cable boy,
the red zone is bush country.
what a marroon.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Cable is an excellent playcaller……yes excellent…
excellent.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:03 am
That really fooled a lot of people. They should just kick the FG now, on third down, before something bad happens.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Fargas for one yard.
Fargas for two yards.
Fargas for one yard.
Way to go Cable…at this rate 80 more carries and Fargas will have a 100 yard game!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:03 am
wow our team really sucks, our coachign sucks.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Nothing stupid here, take the 3 points
November 16th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Cable loves Kwami!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Coaching! geez…..
November 16th, 2008 at 11:04 am
Embarressing
November 16th, 2008 at 11:04 am
THROW THE BALL AWAY!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:04 am
no one goes out on an option pass. What a bunch of idiots
November 16th, 2008 at 11:04 am
Cable says before the game, “We need to get back to running the ball”………..?
November 16th, 2008 at 11:04 am
What do you wanna bet they play it safe and run Fargas up the middle here?
November 16th, 2008 at 11:04 am
McFadden is the ONLY weapon we have on offense.
Maybe Al Davis will trade our first 5 draft picks for Mike Vick.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:04 am
# Mikey D Says:
November 16th, 2008 at 11:03 am
hey cable boy,
the red zone is bush country.
what a marroon.
Bush does too much tap dancing at the line…he’s built like short yardage, but he’s not a short yardage back
November 16th, 2008 at 11:04 am
Watch for Russel to throw the endzone pick here.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:05 am
F’k Harris ruined this drive. Cable has got to get this liability off the F field.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:05 am
Serious the last time we looked like and NFL team.
Was the last game Lane Kiffin coached.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:05 am
WOW…tom cable looks like he needs a standing 8 count. He’s looks completely dazed on the sidelines, way to try to get that play off in 3 seconds before the 2 minute warning fat man!!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:05 am
This is hard to watch!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:05 am
Radio guys said no one went out on an option pass. Play came in late and their was a mix up on the call.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:05 am
That was a HB option pass play. Unfortunately nobody told the receivers it was a pass play.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:05 am
The offense get worse every week! how!?
November 16th, 2008 at 11:06 am
bush plays more north and south than mcslow…so hes a better option, bet he woulda thrown that away, naw mcfaddin fking eats the loss…fking STUPID
November 16th, 2008 at 11:06 am
I agree with solly wilcox, JR will develop with time and protection from the o-line. Excellent throw to miller with excell placement etc. Miller is the best route runner and catcher on the team. This fact is why JR can only be so good this season!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:06 am
Gringo … i agree with you on Bush. Everyone talks about him like Jerome Bettis but he is more like Mike Bell from the 80’s and 90’s.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:06 am
harris needs to be cut period
November 16th, 2008 at 11:06 am
BENCH HIM! IMMEDIATELY!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:06 am
GET HARRIS OUT OF THERE.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:06 am
Oh my f’ing gawd!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:06 am
hahahaha! false start, kick it before were outa fg range!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:07 am
WTF is #77 doing in the game still?????
CABLE WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:07 am
runbyme harris on the FS again.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:07 am
how fuccing stupid is our offensive linemen, jesus christ dont fuccing move until the ball is snapped
November 16th, 2008 at 11:07 am
Kick The FG now!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:07 am
Cut that motherf@@@@@!! Harris has no upside….
November 16th, 2008 at 11:07 am
I say go for it. The hell with it.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:07 am
F the 3rd down and just kick the FG before the penalties put us out of fg range!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:07 am
Please kick the FG
November 16th, 2008 at 11:07 am

4th and goal from the 2.
GO FOR IT!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:08 am
kick it!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:08 am
KICK IT!!!!!!!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:08 am
thats it go for it and get 0 points, fuccing Cable is worthless also…take the fuccing points
November 16th, 2008 at 11:08 am
Great here we go, lose all momentum going into the half by running it for no gain
November 16th, 2008 at 11:08 am
wow We are aweful no way in the world we can get 2 yards
November 16th, 2008 at 11:08 am
What do we have to lose, go for it. We probably will not be in Miami territory again this game, so why the hell not.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:08 am
we should take the points.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:08 am
Where is ZACK CROCKETT?
November 16th, 2008 at 11:09 am
Cable, don’t do it, you’ll just draw Kwame offsides again
November 16th, 2008 at 11:09 am
These guys need something.
GO FOR IT!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:09 am
What a joke
November 16th, 2008 at 11:09 am
K Rock if you go for and dont get it then the game is over…period
November 16th, 2008 at 11:09 am
if you go for it, gotta go for the 2 pt conversion, its our only chance to win da game
November 16th, 2008 at 11:09 am
Play action pass. please use your imagination.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:09 am
Cable makes Art Shell look like Lombardi…Davis should go for the record for most HC firings in one season….
November 16th, 2008 at 11:09 am
Go for it, cable
November 16th, 2008 at 11:09 am
watch for a false start here
November 16th, 2008 at 11:09 am
finally a smart move by cable
November 16th, 2008 at 11:09 am
3
November 16th, 2008 at 11:09 am
BRILLIANT. It takes a TO in order for Cable to do the obvious.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:09 am
Damn. The guys upstairs must have been reading this blog and saw that the sentiment was to kick it.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:10 am

November 16th, 2008 at 11:10 am

November 16th, 2008 at 11:11 am

November 16th, 2008 at 11:11 am
Watch the onside kick coming up…
November 16th, 2008 at 11:11 am
TD packers !!!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:11 am
Yes take the guarantee points with the FG, we do not have the o line to go for it in the red zone espec. the 3yd line!! Now watch pennington run a hurry up series down the field with the 1min left on the clock!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:12 am

Mikey are you a fuccing troll or just someone that has no fuccing sense???? If they go away with 0 at half there’s no way they get back into the game. A bad as they have played they are still in this game….make sense???????
November 16th, 2008 at 11:12 am

Looks like all of my FF players suck this week. oh well…

i would agree with you if we were a playoff caliber team.
but we aren’t.
hence, you go for it on 4th down on the goal line.
establishes momentum. builds confidence. puts fear in the miami d.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:14 am
It’s honorable of Cable to support and encourage Kwame Harris, but at this point enough is enough. The guy simply cannot perform at an NFL level.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:15 am
525,
Does it really matter at this point? You know how this is going to end, FG or no FG. We are pretenders, and only luck or stupidity on the other team’s side will win us a game…we certainly can’t go out and win a game ourselves.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:15 am
GOOD IDE?A – Let’s have Tom Cable call the plays. The same guy that says Harris has potential at OLT.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:15 am
hey were on pace for that 33-3 asswhooping i predicted, miami do your part damn

Vote:
Worst move of the offseason:
A) Trade for Hall
B) Signing Walker
c) Signing Harris
Tough call, but I think the loss of the picks put the Hall move over the top for me.

November 16th, 2008 at 11:20 am
This Fargas offense is really tearing teams apart, lol. 10 rushes for 16 yards. Man that Fargas is a beast! Well, he had a good 9 games last year! Well so what if he has never scored a touchdown! He is the man, man!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:22 am
We’re looking good. I still think we can run the table this year and win number one is almost in the books. Russell looks like Gannon today. Just in control. I really like what Cable has done. And, to think, people still bash Al Davis. Uh…would we have Tom Cable if it wasn’t for Al Davis? Didn’t think so.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:22 am
yes dakota more bright moves by the great GM/personel man AL DAVIS!!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:22 am
damn dakota … I at least thought our boys were playing tonight. they should play every sunday for the rest of this miserable season.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:23 am
Lol, that is funny MR.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:24 am
Dakota-we’re not competitive enough to be called pretenders.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:24 am
we have 2 other backs and dmac signed for a lot of money–give them more carries to get them in rhythm!! Get the ball to the special/skill players. Need to see mbaush and more dmac!!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:24 am
Kwame Harris is doing fine. If you’ll notice on plays where we have the right side strong, Harris is pivoting on his left foot when turning at a 30% downgrade to the right. Since he’s an aggressive, downhill blocker, this causes him to over compensate for the downgrade and turn at an awkward angle. To avoid this, he likes to get a quick jump start but unfortunately it just comes a little too soon. People who bash Harris don’t know football.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:25 am
How poorly does Kwame the Shame need to play to get benched? Who does he have naked pictures of?
November 16th, 2008 at 11:25 am
True Lefty…can we be called pseudo pretenders? lol
November 16th, 2008 at 11:26 am
Sorry, If he jumps offside 2 or 3 times a half, that’s not Good Football.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:26 am
sorry Mikey you still try and win the game to get the guys back on track and going for it on 4 down doesn’t make sense. They can’t get any yardage when they aren’t up against 4 and goal….doesn’t make sense
November 16th, 2008 at 11:27 am
I’m just so glad Kiffin is gone. If Kiffin were here we’d be winning by 20 right now and the cameras would be one him, and he’d be acting like we won the Super Bowl. Cable is more humble than that. Losing makes him serious, and I like serious coaches. Thank you, Al Davis.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:27 am
#403
people who know football dont give Kwame $16 million.
Fairly certain 31 other teams wouldnt have.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:27 am
How bad is it? Jerry didn’t even post a half time update
November 16th, 2008 at 11:28 am
Yeah….Cable is one hell of an upgrade…..
November 16th, 2008 at 11:28 am
Dakota, yeah I think it does matter or we wouldn’t all be in here right now all pissed off at our team, so yeah I think it does
November 16th, 2008 at 11:28 am
Elway’s teeth, could it be any more obvious you dont’ know football?????????????? Don’t you know what a 30% down grade pivot left foot block is???????????????? Have you ever coached the game????????????????????? But yet, you think it’s ok to pass judgment on Harris when you don’t know what you’re talking about, from your mother’s basement.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:29 am
so harris has concrete blocks on his feet, I thought foot work is an integral part of being a left or right side lineman!! If he does not have the necessary foot work skills he should not be a starter!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:29 am
Cable: kwami is playing a helluva a game, go kwami, go!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:30 am
It Was A Fumble,
You’re making my day!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:30 am
Dakota: B without a doubt, a huge distraction in the offseason, non-existent on game day (remember the opening night opt-out) and will cost us more money than the other two. Your draft pick theory would work for every team, except the Raiders would have blown the 2nd round pick anyway
November 16th, 2008 at 11:30 am
I agree, Elways’ Teeth. Cable is one hell of an upgrade. It’s just that all I see are people still bashing Al. Why not thank him? If it wasn’t for Al, we’d still be stuck with Kiffin and we’d be winning right now. That is NOT Raider football.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:31 am
413, Yup, you’re right, He is by far the best tackle in football, and certainly worth all the money he’s EARNING. I’m sure everyone here agrees with you and bows to your supeior knowledge on all things football. Is he your brother, cousin, or uncle?
November 16th, 2008 at 11:31 am
525,
Of course it matters to us, we are the foolish die-hard fans. I was talking about whether going for it on 4th and goal and the results thereof really matter in the big picture. I don’t thin k it does. We suck and we are going to continue to suck for the rest of the season. Cable is clearly not a HC and I’ve seen better play calling in high school football. It don’t matter bro…
November 16th, 2008 at 11:31 am
I don’t know what a 30% foot block is, but I know what a False Start is.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Way to let your offense know you have NO CONFIDENCE, Cable boy.
2-7 team.
TD’s few and far between.
4th and goal in a game nearing halftime.
You kick a field goal instead of going for it.
And dammed if you (cable boy) didn’t just tell your offense you have no confidence in them to move the ball 2-3 yards.
Marroon.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Sam Williams, he sure lives up to the scholarship!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:33 am
its pretty clear to the world what the needs are, and qb is not one of them. I think in order, we need a gm. let that gm choose his hc. let the hc choose the oc and dc.
LET THOSE GUYS SORT OUT THE ROSTER.
obviously LT is the #1 need. is McQ that guy? dunno, but he belongs somewhere on our line.
RT is next, followed by C cuzz Grove just can’t stay healthy.
nothing else matters until we get our trench work together on both sides!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:33 am
If it wasn’t for Al, we’d still be stuck with Kiffin and we’d be winning right now.
What games did you watch?
How many games did Kiffin win?
November 16th, 2008 at 11:33 am
fellas,were only down 4,we will get 3 more,it will be a nail biter
November 16th, 2008 at 11:33 am

November 16th, 2008 at 11:35 am
Dakota, I agree with you, but that would of been bad if we went for it and didn’t get it….yes I agree we are most likely going to lose this game because we have absolutely no offense and luckily we are playing pretty good defense but we will tire and they will start to run all over us but getting the 3 was still the right call. I didn’t think it should take a timeout to decide it but that’s the Raiders

At least Hall tried to play. Walker was classic Davis. Over pay for a guy who was done physically and mentally. He even tried to give the money back.

I hope I don’t jinx anything, but I have to tip my cap to the defense for not rolling over. Well, if I was wearing one, I’d tip it. Hey — Henderson’s in the game.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:36 am
Russy will do his thing this half!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:37 am
Kiffin didn’t win a lot of games K Rock but he’d certainly be winning this one. That’s why I’m glad he’s gone because the Raiders aren’t about winning.

November 16th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Go for it at the end of half, and don’t get it, this wouldn’t be happening. Took momentum into the half, and it has carried onto the second half
November 16th, 2008 at 11:43 am
I love Lechler never thought i would buy a punters jersey but the guy is the best in the game maybe the best ever.

November 16th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Lets try and throw it deep and get sacked!

November 16th, 2008 at 11:53 am
On 3rd and 4 you call that for dmac?? play action with a quick slant to stewart or dmac is higher percentage. Maimi is tackling too well for that call as we just saw!!!

ZBS in highschool…works for good teams.
ZBS in college…works for good teams.
ZBS in NFL…works for good teams.
ZBS for Raiders…works until our pathetic roster gives up for whatever reason, (losing, coach fired, getting tired, etc) – it just highlights how bad we really are.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
fargas down the middle, what a beaut!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
Its sad that I used to sit up everytime we’d go for a deep pass. Now i dont even flinch its a 10/10 chance its going to fall incomplete.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
ok, who didn’t know we were going to hand the ball off after going deep, so predictable

another 3rd and 11, 3 and out, the game is definitely over
November 16th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
I’m glad to see us throwing the deep ball. If Kiffin was still here, we’d be dinking and dunking the ball and we’d be up by 10. That is NOT Raider football.

Exactly…not only waste him playing injured this season, lets tank 2009 and maybe McFadden’s career while we are at it.
I hate Al Davis and his coaching staff and his team doctor….fuk.

D tired again after halftime? lol
Don’t buy the illusion, our D sucks almost as bad as our O.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
look at sam williams get blocked, atta way to live up to the scholarship ol sammy!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Barack Obama should take over as Raiders GM.
We could use some change.
Then again, scratch that.
Nevermind.
That is all.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Just sell baby………………..and so it is !!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Just like Al Davis says “we have great players and we will win maybe not right away” Right al how about never!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
544, lol! good one!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:09 pm

Way to go D.

awful, defense is tired they get any points its prettyt much over
November 16th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Dakota, they did look pretty good there in the first half except for jumping off sides all the time
November 16th, 2008 at 12:10 pm

Proud owner of 5 SB rings
November 16th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Why is the D tired at this point? Did they do jumping jacks in the locker room at halftime? I am sick of that excuse. Good defenses don’t get tired.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
This is still an eminently winnable game…if we had an offense that could score touchdowns, that is.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
The defense might not be the greatest ever, but only an idiot would blame our current plight on them.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
need to score
November 16th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
was that kelly? wawaiwa!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:14 pm
and yet only allowing 14 points to the 8 offensive team in the league…That D is still playin hard…good job getting off the field !!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
so, run, sack, false start, run, punt?
November 16th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
first downs …let’s make some first downs
November 16th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Someone better check Curry for stickum…
November 16th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
The question is: do we have time to kick three more field goals?
November 16th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Miller is great!!!! what an animal
November 16th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Well, at least Russell is showing some long overdue signs of life.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
MikeyD and Elway’s Teeth shoulda taken a left toin in AlbaKoikie…1st Down!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
142 yards passing! Career high?
November 16th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
McFadden’s gonna break one here soon. Hopefully it won’t be too late when he does.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Nice shot, right in the @ss
November 16th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
That’s almost face guarding….with his butt.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
That’s Ronald Curry, the best receiver on this team for all you chumps who have been dogging him…..he better start for the rest of the year fat man.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Man, can we ever score a TD?
November 16th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Nice pass, Jamarcus. What a crappy player.

And yet, I’m the moron.
How weird is that?
November 16th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
now can our defense stop them? And can we kick 2 more field goals?
November 16th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Atlanta what a run!!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Curry never would have gotten benched in the first place if he hadn’t dropped everything that came his way the first four games. Give it a rest.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
8 points! Well over Cable’s offensive average! We are turning a corner in this game!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
D has to step it up, but probably give up a 50 yard kickoff return
November 16th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
That’s right, we’re about to walk through that proverbial door. Not sure what’s on the other side, though.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
577, I didn’t call you a moron, I’m the only one that got the Maroon quote.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
Okay, defense can’t use the tired excuse after that drive…let’s see what they are made of, lol.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Another losing season is beyond that door…
November 16th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Defense needs to score a TD. It might be our only hope.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Well we got another field goal, Curry who, still think he’s getting a raw deal in oakland, throw the ball to miller and curry you get field goals. haha, i like the way were using mcfadden, wtf. come on defense. one more stop, or one more int. something show some heart raiders.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Wow, this team just cannot catch a break, man!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
it just doesn’t go our way. that should of been a sak or a interception
November 16th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
If that play just doesn’t sum up what it’s like being a Raider fan, I don’t know what does!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
I wish they’d show a shot of Al’s reaction to it.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Oops.
My bad.
That wasn’t for you.
Sorry about that,
November 16th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
What happened?
November 16th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
Go for it, fins. Come on, bring it on.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
Did the D just get off the field in a crucial time?
November 16th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
Good Job CJ!!…right there…nice pressure up front
November 16th, 2008 at 12:29 pm

November 16th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
Johnnie Lee!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
now that’s what we have been waiting for from JLH!!! and no penalties!! priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
Even if we lose, we got to give props to the way the team played today.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Al was right! about everything! Al is god again!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Good point 0525, really wish they had to score a TD to take the lead
November 16th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
4:30 seconds left
The defense can do this.
Intercept that weak armed pennington
November 16th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
over under on ryan’s d holding it now that it matters?
November 16th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
WAY TO BE JOHNNIE LEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
you are right raider0525, that missed FG is huge now!!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
Vegas, the offense still sucks!!!! They did nothing. Even if we lose???? it doesn’t matter, this game is pitiful
November 16th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
touchdown raaaaaaaaaaaaaidas lol nice return johnnie lee. kind of reminds a guy of a young timmy brown in the return game.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
the punter gave JLH a run for his money!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
OMG, How do you respond now. Just a min ago, I figured ah crap, oh well, maybe next week. Now jeez, we might win. No prevent Ryan.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
17 – 15 final…I hate to say it
November 16th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
I bet rob 200 yarder Ryan stops em this time.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
now its time for the ryan prevent!!!!!!!!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
and ryan goes prevent….good night
November 16th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
they are picking us apart
November 16th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
the great ryan defense soon shows what a lead for the other team looks like
November 16th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
just in time for Rob Ryan to flex his defensive muscle!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Nice D, two plays almost FG range
November 16th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Damn, defense. When the chips are down, they always fold.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Curry didn’t drop any more than the rest of the receivers, he was a scapegoat for the sake of change.
He was and still is the best receiver on this team, a few drops in the beginning of the season didn’t change that…sheeple mentality at it’s best.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Ryan’s specialty…blown 4th quarter leads…I lost count at 14…
November 16th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
They HAVE to pressure Pennington. Have to.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
why would he go prevent?????!!!!!! he should be fired for this
November 16th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Bliiiatzzz Biatchhh!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
get the ball D !!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:35 pm

November 16th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Was Warren in coverage?
November 16th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
reality guys, hurry up offense kills us every time and it will today as well! we seem to have no answer for it from ryan, surprise surprise
November 16th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
here is the game…
November 16th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
So what do they do now?
November 16th, 2008 at 12:36 pm

November 16th, 2008 at 12:37 pm

November 16th, 2008 at 12:37 pm

November 16th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
Holy crap, this is big
November 16th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
Dang, we’re so close to pulling off the upset, I can hardly stand it! Come on Raiders. Give all us diehards something to cheer about!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Blitz JLH
Put him in for FG coverage
Let him run the ball, and maybe pass too.
He is apparently the only player with da skizzillz
amirite?

November 16th, 2008 at 12:40 pm

Yep, defense can look good all day but when it really matters, they roll up into the fetal position and cry like babies.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
of course he nails it – while the highest scorer in Raiders history misses what should have been a relative chipshot for him…
November 16th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
how ’bout mcfadden returning a kick here??
November 16th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
Suck is in to break out heart…and in the office so no “meds” to help me get through it
November 16th, 2008 at 12:46 pm

November 16th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
I’ve (kiffin too) been saying this all year long. Rob Ryan is TERRIBLE! Oakland has a good defense, despite their awful coordinator!
This defense could be one of the best in the NFL is they hired a good defensive coordinator..like Monte Kiffin maybe! Fuk Al Davis..we could be a pretty good team. But as long as Al is hear…it will take a miracle!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:48 pm

Russell sure did look good at LSU against a strong SEC. Wierd how he looks so bad
- oh wait – thats right, its the Raider way,…
take great players and make them mediocre at best.
Good show Raiders.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
The dude just doesn’t seem to understand situations ya know?
November 16th, 2008 at 12:49 pm

November 16th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
We might never score another offensive touchdown.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
0525 get a grip…dont let a GAME make u stupid…sheesh…yea im hear as a long time raider fan….and with that i say we cut harris and fire ryan………you guys that support ryan are blind…when in the crunch time his defense lets em score fast every time, when they are behing by 21 they play lights out

way to hurry up and just fall to the ground JR!!! this is just ridiculous. Its all coaching. No sense of urgency, no hurry up. Do they know what that is?? How could they not coach that!!! I have not seen it in years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
J. Fargas 17 57
D. McFadden 3 13
This is one of the reasons we keep losing…Fargas is a backup RB…give the ball to McFadden.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
You guys can’t possibly be shocked? This has been happening for almost 6 years.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:51 pm

DMC is still dinged.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Where is McFadden, someone has to ask Al Davis and Tom Cable why in the hell we are not using this kid. He is our best offensive weapon.
All game long we watch the wild cat and we have the best player for the wild cat in McFadden, and all we do is run the ball up the middle with Fargas.
Poor Poor coaching and poor poor managment.
need someone with some imagination and we will not get that from Cable and Davis. I hope Al is talking to his buddy parcels for some advice.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
well at least it was close
November 16th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
That was just so horribly pathetic. Those last 38 seconds of chaos encapsulate everything this team is about, bumbling incompetence.

This “football” system in Oakland is a joke! Matt Cassel, who probably can’t hold JRussels jock strap, looks like a solid NFL starting QB..why you ask? The system Cassel is in, is created and worked to his strenths and the offense’s strong points.
Any QB in this dysfunctional system would fail! Any QB!
Never mind this defense..This is like the 3rd or fourth game that the Raiders had a 4th quarter lead and lost.
Rob Ryan and Al Davis should quit!

=======================================================
Seems like every time we do something positive, the D lays down. Thats been a Raider trait far too long. Almost predictable.
Ryan’s the man long as Davis likes him and his Dreally only needs a real MLB and a run stuffing DT to be dominant.
Awesome to see we’re better without Hall.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
DC looked pretty good except for the two interceptions. Some things never change.
JR had 0 turnovers in a hostile stadium, cross country trip. He had one drive today that showed whats to come. He will keep improving.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
Take my adive.
Blow up the team and start over with the exception of McFadden Russell Miller and some of the D.
everyone else is backups for other NFL teams.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Average points per game this yr under kiff was 19 points per game and under cable i think 5 or 8. Great moves Al you are a visionary. Denver put up 24 points on atlanta when we did squat!!! Look around the nfl Al we royally suck. When the d plays well they still fold at the end of the game. Is that whats in rob ryan’s game plan. I guess cables point average goes up after this game.

have no illusions, Hendersons gameis incomplete and he does blow asignments, just not as much as Harris. Plus, Henderson actually seems to give a sh&t. Harris is in la la land.

Ryan’s D did its usual collapse at the end ,but you can’t expect to win any game when your off. can’t score a TD.we should hire Fassell NOW.at least he could probably get the off. to score some points.it is pretty obvious the people responsible for us scoring TDs are incompetent.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Rob Ryan’s D blew it on that last drive, but Tom Cable runs way too many 1st down run plays and too many screen passes. Dude needs to throw a 5 yard pass on 1st down. Just get positive yardage. How hard is that?

You know, I just got done steam cleaning my carpet, and this doesn’t surprise me. Actually, after seeing the Raiders had 15 points, I did get a little shocked, but how the game ended didn’t shock me. And I’m taking back what I said earlier about the XFL, I think we would be the worst team in that league too. Sad indeed.

November 16th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Another loss, closer but not really. Opened the game on offense with a false start. Almost as if it was designed that way, because the Raiders wouldn’t make anything easy. Then on Defense, we pin them deep only to take consecutive offsides penalties to jump start the Miami drive. That leads to 7.
More comments… Fargas plays with heart, he’s a good blocker on the pass, and he sacrifices his body, but the field vision just isn’t there, he’s getting stuffed too much, and with the young talents of Bush and McFadden, they need to get the touches.
Am I the only one that thinks Russell is getting fatter as the season wears on? And pulling himself for what looked like a ’soft’ injury. If he’s the future, I am beginning to question the heart of the future, and the commitment.
Nice to see more plays to the wide outs today, but how many sacks did JR take, that looked like he just crumpled when the pressure got close.
As of today, the Raiders are playing for next year. Play the youth on the team, have them gain experience for next season.
I still believe a message needs to be sent to the executive team of the Raiders, and empty the stadium for the KC game.
And it’s time to begin scouting hard and planning the draft, one can probably assume the Raiders will be picking within the top 4.
And maybe we can all count it as a win if the Raiders could actually go a whole game with out a false start call.
It’s hard to see another season go down the drain, but I guess we’ve all known that this was the way the season would go, since the Kiffin-Davis saga began in July. Or even one could look before that to the DeAngelo Hall trade. Actually if one thinks about it, the Hall trade…lose a 2nd rd pick, before that the Moss trade, is still having its ripple effects. The Javon Walker in LV fiasco, we should have took the money back and let him retire. The Kiffin Davis BS, The Burgess Injury (what is the deal with that?? 6 games now!?!) The Mcfadden turf toe.
There are too many factors to continue, but the most important factor is the lack of mental toughness of the Raiders.
Time to build for next year.

November 16th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
post 729 is the truth, only i would trade russell for a bag of rocks
November 16th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
I like Russell, he just needs a coach that can actually help him develop (over the course of a few years), a receiver that can get open AND catch, and an o-line that isn’t constantly on it’s heels. But I guarantee Al will draft a CB
November 16th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
rob ryan is still here because he kisses al davis’ rear and tells him his players are great and they will win someday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Fuk it, if Fassel wants to coach, let him start next week, not February…let him evaluate which of these turds deserve to remain on the team.
The we shall see if Hassel is able to convince the might Al Davis which players must go…and coordinators.

now get too it!

Harbaugh? What has Harbaugh done that makes you think he could be a good NFL coach? To me Harbaugh is just another unproven coach that might be a disaster and would have restrictions placed on him just like Kiffin did. Fassel is a proven winner, and he did it in NY, not an easy place to win, maybe Al gives him more say in operations, assist. coaches etc?

Brown81,
I am sick and tired of watching Seabass miss kicks. Sure he made the long one against the Jets in OT. However, had he made that 40 something earlier in that game there would have been no OT.
Again, he misses an easy (for an NFL kicker) 40 yard kick and we lose by 2.
Where’s the Commissioner?
November 16th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Look at the teams that win. they have a coach thats not afraid to punch you in the mouth, or is considered a hard a$$. the only coach i can see is cower, but he is to smart to work for the idiot in the box. so we will be lousy for the next 10 years.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
harbaugh is a cupcake with no frosting.
We wont beat the chefs. we go 2-14 easy.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
S&B, the guy has one of the highest FG percentages in the league. The issue is that we have to kick SO MANY field goals, especially field goals from 40 plus yards. We have no offense. THAT’S the problem, not Seabass
November 16th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
don’t count on that Doomed.KC can score TDs,we can’t.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Hire Jim Fassell as soon as the season is over. Give him unfettered access to the team so that he can start his evaluations now.
Let’s be honest. Fassell is an NFL coach and he is competent. He’s the best we can get because of the owner & gm. Plus he wants the job AND knows what comes with it.
Bring him in and stop the charade.
Where’s the Commissioner?
November 16th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
I can’t believe I am pining for Jim Fassel! Fuk Al, you have really taken your franchise down.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
You know what, think about this. We have gone through 6 or so coaches, about as many QBs, WRs, RBs, and TEs. And nothing has changed. The only things that have been constant have been Al, Ryan, and his D.
So obviously there’s something else wrong with the team and it’s going to take a lot more than simply changing HCs again to fix it.
We shouldn’t just hired a HC because he wants to come here. We have to hire a HC that will bring a 5 year plan to the team. Someone that demands respect from Al, and that has a team of Assistants that makes sense. Kiffin had that team, but didn’t have Al’s respect.
The new HC has to be someone that is brought in along with a new Executive of Football Operations. And it would be wise to let that Exec bring in his own people for HC, and then let that HC bring in his own assistants.
Then let that team worry about bringing in players.
But most importantly, Davis needs to stay out of all of this. And deal directly with the Exec of Football Ops if he has something to say.
Then, Al needs to let this play out for the 5 years. If Al wants a Atlanta or even Miami type of turn around next year, then he needs to look really hard at what other teams are doing. And since this is a “copycat” league, than be a copycat, and do it right.
But whoever the next people in charge are, a lot of thought and careful planning has to go into picking this people. And it all starts with the Exec of Football Ops.
Al needs to first bring in a council of wise football minds, maybe other owners, or ex football people that have good input on how to turn a franchise around, to help him pick this executive. Unfortunately, I’m afraid that Al has too much pride to do such a thing, and he thinks that he knows all that is football. And he will most likely make that decision on his own. And more than likely, another 6 years or so of horrible football will come our way…
The Raiders are my team, they have been from the beginning, I have not had another team ever. And I will continue rooting for them, but I will not spent any money on tickets or special TV packages that show me all the games until they show that they are worth the cash coming out of my skinny wallet.
As always, GO RAIDERS!
November 16th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
It’s real hard to say anything positive about a game where we get 33 yards passing and 24 yards running in the first half. Especially since we had seven penalties and gave up four sacks in the first half.
It’s easy to blame Cable but he’s an interim coach appointed in med season who had to take over the play calling because it sucked. The play calling in this game was-on some drives-a lot better. Right now Cable has too many jobs.
One thing that was improved in this game was that Russell was getting the ball off a whole lot faster. Also, he was really threading the needle with with passes to Zack Miller. He did the same with a three or so passes to Curry. When it comes to long passes it’s pretty much of a Hail Mary every time.
We could have easily won this game. Unfortunately that doesn’t really say much because Miami’s realy not that good.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
a 45 yd FG is not a gimmie.also Papa and Flores mentioned that the wind was really blowing sideways.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
You’re right, WR #11, but nobody can execute a 5 year plan because Al won’t let them. He fires them after 1 season.

Brown81,
I am sick and tired of watching Seabass miss kicks. Sure he made the long one against the Jets in OT. However, had he made that 40 something earlier in that game there would have been no OT.
Again, he misses an easy (for an NFL kicker) 40 yard kick and we lose by 2.
Where’s the Commissioner?
____________________________________________________
LOL, NO seasbass IS the best Kicker to ever play the game, he might miss 98% of his kicks, but if any is going to make that 70kick its him, he is just a good kicker as Chris Carr is a returner.. LOL
right now i’m watchin JAX-Tenn.. and Chris Carr just had a ‘return’.. LOL
November 16th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
maybe
November 16th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Whoever is the next coach needs to have control. Al needs to step back, if anything the last 5+ years prove he`s lost touch. He can still be the owner and talk about the greatness of the raiders, but he has to stay out of football operations.
It was appropriate in today`s game to see Bill Parcells up in the box today…an example of what and who a great director of football operations can be and should do. AD would have been wise to dump all of that D Hall, and J Walker money into an offer for Parcells, regardless, whereever we go from here, the point needs to be clear. AD removes himself from personnel and football decisions.
If he is truly committed to winning, and truly wants the best for the Raiders he needs to remove his ego from this decision, and allow a different perspective take over the reigns.
That is what needs to be done for this team to improve. I hope he can see that.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Dakota..
I would like that philly game to end very soon =)
November 16th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
it will be another decade before this team wins again.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
Well, at least this game is over at 2 pm and now I have some day left to do something productive…or play Call of DUTY!
November 16th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Raiders WR #11,
But Al Davis is the owner. So your suggestion is just plain unrealistic. The team has some talent and the only hope is that we can get a coach in here that can run practices and call a game. Jim Fassell is our only hope. If you can’t accept that then you will be forever frustrated.
Al Davis is the owner & gm and as a result can run the team as he sees fit. Unfortunately, the league doesn’t care about the malpractice that is being conducted in Oakland.
So lets get Fassell in here and HOPE that he can bring some sanity to the football field.
Where’s the Commissioner?
November 16th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
I’m beginning to think that Al is purposely sabotaging this team so that he can move it back to LA. Which might be why the NFL is not doing anything about the joke that the Raiders has become. LA is a bigger market and would generate huge revenue for the league. I bet you guys if this happens, all of a sudden when the Raiders move to LA they will be good. (More money)
What is that, like 2 years away until the lease is up in Oakland Stadium?…
November 16th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Seabass is 15 for 17 on kicks under 50 yds.i quarantee any coach in the NFL would take that.
LMN-why do you exaggerate.nobody called him the best.but he isn’t the worst either.again,you can’t expect to win when your Off. doesn’t score a TD.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
man~~
November 16th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Roch Romanson,
Once again, Al Davis is the owner. He runs the ship in a totally dysfunctional way and refuses to change.
You bring up great ideas. Maybe the Lions will implement them, but its impossible to happen here.
It is what it is. You have to hope that Al hires Jim Fassell and that he can put in a professional NFL level offense and defense.
Where’s the Commissioner?
November 16th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
WR #11, I’ve actually thought about that recently. I wonder if he is playing his way out of oakland. I could see him doing that.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
S&B, I know my suggestion is unrealistic, because Al would never admit that he needs that much help turning this thing around. He thinks or wants to do it all himself so that he can take full credit for the re-birth.
But also, as an owner, if he truly and really wanted to win now, he would look at this past seasons and realize that maybe he does need to step aside and let people that are in touch with today’s football operations take charge.
He can still have final say on all issues, but by having a person in between the HC and the owner, it helps with dealing with this type of stuff.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
McGlockton just threw Steve Wisniewski’s name out there for GM. Not a bad idea. I wonder if Chet is on to something.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
I’ve had enough punishment for one day, I’m off to get drunk.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
I’m really ticked off at Seabass because he didn’t make that 73 yard kick that Kiffin had him do.
Get real with this kick stuff. When did it become true that a kicker is supposed to make it from anywhere?
If the guy is accurate at forty yards and under-he’s ok. Beyond that it’s extra.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:52 pm

No one has to worry about the Raiders moving to L.A. or any where else as long as Al is alive.
No city on earth wants this disaster.
When Mark Davis inherits the team he will sell and then it will be moved and re-named.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Kwame Harris cost us this game. Once again, you get the team gets inside the 10 and end up kicking a FG from the 20. Kwame Harris had TWO false starts…..TWO!!!
There you have!!! Get Tom Cable out of here and scrap the ZBS…
Where’s the Commissioner?
November 16th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Should have went for the score on 4th and goal from the 2.
When will the Raiders learn to punt the dang ball instead of trying 50 yard FGs?
November 16th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
2Cents, Mark Davis is not going to inherit this team when Al dies. It will be Al’s wife. And even when that happens, Al has instructions as to how to proceed with the team after. If you don’t believe me, go look up the Raiders or Al Davis in w i k i p e d i a.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
Dakota..
okay, now I start believe i will beat ya =) *knock on wood*
November 16th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
How sad is it, that the big headlines and high profile talk about the Raiders involves the punter and the place kicker. I actually heard the commentator today suggest that Shane Lechler would be the Raiders MVP.
I dont want to take anything away from the talent of those two guys, but its pretty sad when the punter and the pk get more press time than your WRs, DEs and QB.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
Once again Rob Ryan cannot call a game in the 4th QTR. Cable should take the defensive playcalling in the 4th QTR. Just like Buffalo and San Diego, he goes and gets ultra-conservative in the 4th QTR. Playing that cheezy zone defense.
The defense has enough talent to be productive. Get a real defensive coordinator and we will be fine.
I like Kalimba Edwards at defensive end.

November 16th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
All the JaMarcus haters need to simmer down too. Imagine if we had a real number 1 receiver? When receivers get open, Russell can hit them. I still don’t understand why Higgins doesn’t get on the field more often.
Russell will be ok. Imagine what he would do if he wasn’t getting sacked 5x a game from a pourous offensive line.
Tom Cable is overrated. That offensive line is terrible again. Can’t run block, pass block and have way too many penalties. How did we end up with Kwame Harris and Cornell Green…Pathetic
Why doesn’t DMAC get more carries. Where the hell was Michael Bush?
We need a professional head coach.

LOL, the chargers are looking as bad as we are against the steelers. LT is getting his just deserved pounding by their d. Boy,if polomolo(?sp)ever became free he would be an excellent pick up he is a beast!!! But he would never leave the steelers!
November 16th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Glad I didint tune in today,..Raiders sure try hard to find ways to lose,…its really pathetic,…was funny for a while,..now just sad.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Raiders WR #11,
You’re right but they will still be sold and moved.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
S-B,…I disagree,…we need to cut ties with jamarcus,…get rid of him…hire that Pats OC and have him bring Cassel with him,…thats a start,…russell is a bust, you and the raiders need to realize that.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Leave Jim Faucet where he’s at, somewhere in la la land. If he want’s to come here, you know his mind isn’t right.
He and kiffy are about equal in my book. He would be another Shell and Gibbs. It’s over for their coaching careers!!
November 16th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Get ris of ENTIRE staff,…dont keep one single coach for Fassel,..let Fassel bring in whoever he wants,…Ryan is awful, I hate that mother f*cker.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
I agree, the new england guy would be an excelent choice. But, he would have to be drugged to come here!! lol
November 16th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
get that little OC from new england,..bring cassel with him,…do everything the Pats are doing,…copy them,..how they scout…draft…great formula.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
crazy Al will need to overpay him, fine by me,..and put in writing he can do whatever he wants,…Al needs to stay home, in the home.

priest is on the Raider flagship,pretty funny stuff
November 16th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
I am beginning to believe that it is not the prevent defense.
Other teams are confident that they can move the ball against us no matter what scheme we are in.
When it comes to crunch time, they pull out all the stops and are usually successful.
On the rare occasions when we get a lead, the other team usually scores on the next possession.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
The Raiders will never win as long as the ass kisser Rob Ryan continues to not blitz in the fourth quarter. He loses every close game by playing a vanilla defense at the end.
Why can’t Al see this???
November 16th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Priest used to go by the name “TJ in mountain View:…on the jt the brick show.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
There were positives from the Miami defeat: JaMarcus played very sensibly and seemed much more in control. Good to see Ronald Curry have his best game for two seasons. Zach Miller remains a great weapon and Justin Miller and JLH are going to do real damage on returns.
But the four biggest problems remain:
1) Penalties are killing this team.
2) The offense stalls in the red zone.
3) Harris and Green are just not pro-standard OTs.
4) This defense cracks under pressure, especially in Q4.
If we can fix these problems, we are half way back to respectability.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
I dont care,I saw Jmac drop the rock on a dime 2day @@ out nfl
November 16th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Im fine with oakland losing all the rest of their games,…and they likely will….get a top 3 pick,..and trade it for multiple picks,..we cant afford another top 3 pick bonus anyway,..thats about 25 million,…russells and mcfaddens together are about 60 million,…and they both suck.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
If the Raiders have a chance to seal a game with a defensive stop, you can almost count on the fact that they won’t make it. About the only one they’ve made in recent memory was against KC which has almost as bad an offense as The Raiders, and then KC was moving the ball until we got the interception.
Jano makes very few clutch kicks. The miss in the third quarter which could have given The Raiders the lead changed the momentum of the game. The Raiders could still have easily lost, but you need to be able to count on your kicker to make those type of kicks, especially when you are struggling.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Russell is a piece of crap,…wont be a raider next year.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
sea bass sucks, always has,…you can count on him to miss pressure kicks,..every time,…the jets winner in ot was a fluke,…he sucks, like the rest of the team…and owner.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Fassel is a lock to be next coach,…should have kept kiffin and let him can ryan,..kiffin is laughing his butt off today,..as he should.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
John Madden said before the draft that we should take an offensive tackle in the first round. Guess what? He was right!
November 16th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Scottish Raider,
I agree. This loss can’t be blamed on the QB, RBs or Receivers.
Memo to Al, build your lines.
It is amazing how good an RB looks when he has a hole to run through.
It makes ordinary DBs look good when you have a pass rush.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Shut the f*ck up Norco Bob. Your a pathetic piece of excrement and a waste of your father’s sperm.
November 16th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
Maybe Russel will become a good QB and maybe not, but I know he would be a much better QB with decent pass protection and good WR’s than without.
November 16th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Play calling was horrible until the one good drive. Everybody knows we run on 1st down and when we ran play action on 1st down it worked. Defense plays good for two games in a row. WOW
November 16th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
dang dude why ya mad at me?…im just keepin it real. dont hate on me man
November 16th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
If you look up false start in the rule book there is a picture of Kwame Harris.

November 16th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Gutless is not the word i would use for Rob Ryan. He’s got plenty of that.
November 16th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
The raider players were gutless on that last drive,…too scared to win a game,…the raiders are truly gutless,…they are afraid to win.
November 16th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
I heard from Chester Mcglockton (the 5th quarter) that Wiesnewski wants a shot at the GM spot.
November 16th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
It was Ryan that set them up for failure the efffort was there on the field.

Norco Bob, we are all tired of your act. Quit it with the juvenile drug fantasies. We all know your a pathetic loser who does nothing more than have a Bud-lite when your mom is away.
November 16th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
I am hoping for Harbaugh as our coach next year with big AL letting him build a staff. I would like to see the Raiders run an offense like the Saints or the Titans run using MBUSH as the primary runner (like McCalister or Lendell White) and McFadden as a speed back / slot receiver (ala RBUSH). If there are any takers trade down for help on both lines. Miami has show with the right coaching and organizational changes a team can change it’s fortunes quickly.
November 16th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
The Raider coaches are so busy trying to prove they’re the next Bill Walsh they fail to instill the basics.
How difficult is it to teach the OL to act as a unit, know the snap count, know their job.
Tom (I love Kwame) Cable called a HB option at a critical time, nobody on offense even knew what their assignment was.
With the exception of Special Teams coach Schneider, this staff is wholly unexceptional.
November 16th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Hopefully Al hires Fassel tomorrow to get a head start on fixing this team. I fully believe he’s the guy to do it. Screw Harbaugh. What has he ever proved as a coach?
Can’t blame anything on the defense today.
Lousy pass-blocking and timid play selection ruins us again. Although it’s hard to rip Cable for not calling more downfield pass plays when his o-line sucks this bad.
November 16th, 2008 at 3:45 pm

November 16th, 2008 at 3:50 pm

November 16th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
The Raiders will suck until Al gives up control.
Al, you probably won’t read this, but if you did, LET YOUR COACHES COACH!!!!!
Kiffin had it right to fire Ryan, it should have been his team to make people accountable for their actions, not Al.
The Coaches get paid way too much money to be allowed to put out absolute crap like this.
I am done with giving them any kind of support or sympathy.
November 16th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Norco Bob,
Do you really think Russell lost this game?
I thought this was his best game as a pro.
November 16th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Chargers are good,..Rivers is great,…Russell needs to go,…get Cassel.
November 16th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
