Halftime: Raiders 10, Chargers 10
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, September 14th, 2009 at 8:56 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Scoring
SD_LaDainian Tomlinson 1-yard run (Nate Kaeding kicks PAT), 4:45.
Oak_Sebastian Janikowski 37-yard field goal, :40
SD_Kaeding 47-yard field goal, :00
Notes:
– Darren Sproles had his second big return following Janikowski’s field goal, racing 59 yards to the Oakland 41.
Rivers got the Chargers in range for a 47-yard field goal by Kaeding for a somewhat deflating 10-10 tie after Oakland had outgained San Diego 217-74.
– JaMarcus Russell got a classic two-minute opportunity to close out the half, with Oakland starting at the 36 with 2:23 left following a 65-yard Mike Scifres punt and 14-yard return by Johnnie Lee Higgins.
He had key completions to Louis Murphy and Zach Miller, nearly had a pass picked that went directly to Steven Cooper, but fired a bullet to Murphy for a 19-yard TD with 19 seconds left in front of Steve Gregory.
Except the TD was nullified on by the officials on replay, who said Murphy lost possession on the way down. Looked from here like he caught the ball, both feet hit ground, and THEN lost possession. Sebastian Janikowski kicks 37-yard FG with 40 seconds left.
– Shane Lechler’s 55-yard punt, with Trevor Scott dumping Sproles at the 13, gave San Diego the ball with 3:36 to play in the half with 87 yards to go.
– Darrius Heyward-Bey, who had a drop erased by penalty in the first quarter, let one bouncer off his chest and hands in the second quarter. Russell missed Louis Murphy on a third-and-5 slant to force the first Raiders punt at 3:50.
– Raiders open next series with Samson Satele at center, Chris Morris at left guard. PA announcer says return is questionable with back injury.
– San Diego converts turnover for touchdown with help from 24-yard Rivers-to-Gates strike to the 1-yard line. Finishes 45-yard drive in seven plays.
On back-to-back plays, Tyvon Branch flattened Brandon Manumaleuna for a 2-yard loss on a screen and Chris Johnson unloaded on Darren Sproles on the next play for no gain. The crowd was howling, quieted by Rivers’ strike.
– Illegal contact foul on Chargers gives Raiders one first down, Russell hits Miller for 17 yards for another. Drive ends on McFadden fumble _ the Raiders second turnover. They still haven’t punted.
Robert Gallery is injured on play, a concern considering Paul McQuistan is inactive.

MR I seldom say anything to you and only when you deserve it. You are an autustic moron.
September 14th, 2009 at 8:51 pm
man i cant believe we got Seymour. He goes through double team like theres no tomorrow.
September 14th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Murphy didn’t make a football move!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
thats criminal to take that td from murphy
September 14th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
If jerry is questioning the call then it must be a bad one.
September 14th, 2009 at 8:54 pm
this is fixed. we score and its taken away. and other nfl fans wonder why raiders fan cry that nfl is against them? because they are!
we are winning, this game is not tied! pure cheating. we deserve to be ahead. we earned it.
September 14th, 2009 at 8:54 pm
We should be up 14-10, or 14-7.
We need to keep up the pressure.
And Bey needs to hold on to the damn ball.
September 14th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Alright, halftime. I think I’ll make some Kool-Aid and start sipping it.
September 14th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Jerry, I challenge you personally to fix this crap…hate this sight…Winning is gonna be so sweet!!! I do server support and this is ridiculous!
September 14th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Of course the NFL is crooked. WE have to smash the Chargers into the ground in the second half. Don’t leave it up to the refs at all.
Murphy has to do a better job in not bobbling the ball at all in the 2nd half, since we see that the NFL is more crooked than Madoff and his Ponzi scheme.
September 14th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Jano needs to kick the ball out the end zone….
September 14th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Lets hope the Chargers go down and go down hard.
September 14th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Pour me a tall Glass BRO>>>>>>
September 14th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
It IS a NEW DAY!
Mark it….we are baaaaaauuuucccckkkkkk!
We’se back ya beeches~
We are back! The Raiders are home!
September 14th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
Dude, if they keep playing like this, and the officials quit with the bad calls, I may fill up a Super Soaker with Kool-Aid and douse everyone here.
September 14th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
The person I dislike the most right now is Leodis McKelvin. Why in the hell would the guy take the kickoff out of the endzone when all he had to do was kneel the ball down and give the ball to his Bills offense so they could run the clock out and win against the Patriots but no, he had to fumble it. The Patriots are looked over by the Gods or something because they get every freakin call.
September 14th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
UN believable call, just ridicoulus maan wtf was thaaat????
September 14th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
Raiders are competing!!!
Refs are cheating!!!
MR is returning to the fold!!!
THis server is the worst in the world!!!!

Is the NFL Crooked?
=================
Very valid question.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Im liken dis. Lets go raiders. Oh and all u haters suck .
September 14th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Yeah, WTF is up with the kickoff coverage? That is very concerning. And unacceptable to happen twice in a row.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
gonna be a interesting 2nd half. Will the team continue to fight or give up like they did last year, aka the game vs the Bills. Running game is working, just gotta find a way to get these rookie wr’s to catch the ball and make some plays.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
24,
but we know they swallow.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
wtf? Guess the Raiders get another apology letter for missed calls this week. Put it on the stack.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Did you notice that the referees did not go to the booth for that last fumble that went the Patriots way? unbelievable. It looked like his knee was down. also, that catch Murphy made within two minutes for the Raiders… a touchdown. even the announcers said it and were shocked if it was overturned. they could not believe how deep the conspiracy is. If that exact same play was Brady to Moss, the refs rule that a touchdown, without a replay.
this is B.S and everyone should sign a write a letter to Goodell over this.
\
September 14th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
well…touchdown called back…jerry says we got HOSED…hmmmm-REALLY? we’re lookin good, but, one can only HOPE the refs realize their ERROR and give us some LEE-way in 2nd half…wishfull thnkn?
September 14th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
You can see why the Raider conspiracies persist with blatant BS calls like Murphy’s TD reception nullified ON REVIEW?! On review it was even more clear: touchdown, Raiders.

September 14th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
Excuse me, but if a reciever catches a ball in the endzone, plants two feet, that is a touchdown, same as if someone cross the line of scrimmmage? DUH? When the ground gives up a loose ball, the play stands! Forfiet this game now, the F’n ref’s are out against Raiders, and what the NFL wants for sanitized football. This aint the WWE, byte me, idiots!
_______________________________________________________
To me it’s no different than if a receiver catches the ball in the end zone comes down with two feet and then goes out of bounds. The problem with the NFL is that it’s not consistent.
The refs make calls however they feel like it. Almost half the analysts and announcers in the league have SD picked to not only win the division but go to the Superbowl as well. How dare the Raiders beat them on opening night.
Goodell won’t allow that without a fight. Pathetic.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
im still heated with that call i cant believe it but i still think the raiders can pull off a win our defense is looking good even with the edition of seymour
September 14th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
we cant leave points on the board…I believe we can win this game..need to stop the chargers on the opening drive!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
Is the NFL Crooked?
September 14th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
That Murphy TD was definitely 7 points
The raiders are hexed
They need to beat the refs too
SD are some lucky bastards, tie game but have been severely outagained????
September 14th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
The only thing missing on that call was the snow!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
He had possession, two feet on the ground, and his but was on the ground. The ground knocked the ball loose. Terrible call!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
I wish McQuistan was available to take Gallery’s place.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
well, Big Seys play is getting us of the field on defense…great impact so far. and looks like he brought with him a lil championship-swagger too
September 14th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
more bush and mcfadden please.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
that call was BULL how was that not a TD
September 14th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
SEYMOUR our boy where are the haters saying he is 30 and old
September 14th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
hopefully raiders come out angry and blow out the chargers in the last 2 quarters.
how can they not after that call.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
No way They thought long and hard on that one then called Goodel. Its suppose to super concl;usive to overturn call on field, just like the tuck.
Same screwing, different ref
September 14th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
Thank god we put Sproles on the ground. Im damn tired of seeing him put up huge returns. Oh and big ups to mitchell for doing it.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:03 pm

September 14th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
we need to come out blazin in the 2nd half and kick th eball deeper. sproles returns and the fumble are the only reasons they scored.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
look at the scoring summary at NFL.com…
still shows murphys TD…
September 14th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
I can see the change in this team. But I can see that some things are the same, especially by the comments in here. I can only hope that choking at the end is not one of those things that hasn’t changed, as well.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Our D is standing up, kinda proud of em…..
September 14th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Terrible terrible terribe call
4 points of the board
How can they not see it was a catch?????
He broke the plane
He caught the ball
2 feet down….
What else do you need???
September 14th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Was the Seymour trade a good move? All who disagree please speak up…
September 14th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Talk about it Q. I had flash backs of that game when they were making up that BS about Murphs TD. Bad Call doesnt even do it justice.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
I don’t think the league has a conspiracy against the Raiders. I think they just like to screw the Raiders on national t.v. because some of the fans are such jerks.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
SEY Frickin MONSTER>>>>>>>
September 14th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
finally we see mike mitchell…this 3rd down is crucial
September 14th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
someone find DHB some “stick em’” gloves for the 2nd half, we need him out there.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
SEY MONSTER>>>>>>>>>>>
MR, they running enough for you???????
Raiders smashin with 8 and 9 in the box……
September 14th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
Seymour seems to panning out.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
Mitchell’s hammy looked good on special teams, put him out there and let him earn that money.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
our defense is doing good they just need to keep it up and i think they can with seymour and ellis fresh for the second half dominating and seymour wooo is it still a bad trade haters???? and the refs man im done with them i cant stand em that was a bs call everyone knows that was a TD ripped murphy from his first official nfl td and the raiders from being up 14-7 to 10-10 this is bs as keyshawn johnson would say…”C’MON MAN!”
September 14th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
MR…you are showing signs of humanity…don’t ruin it.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
Sanitation Officer Albert Bigelow Paine Says:
September 14th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
He had possession, two feet on the ground, and his but was on the ground. The ground knocked the ball loose. Terrible call!
……………………………………
one of WORST CALLS ever! even if the rules didnt state that 2 feet down was a touchdown, if you follow the review, its NOT EVEN CLEAR that he LOST posession when his arm/ball hit…commentary even stated it STILL looked as if he had control…points mute thouhg, shouldnt b a factor…2 feet down+ ball posession=7PTS.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
Please Raiders, make the right adjustments at halftime. This is crucial.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
MITCHELL!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
Man, tyvon can tackle. he looks like an eddie anderson.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
There’s Mitchell!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
MIKE MITCHELL!!!!!!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
There we go. That’s how you stop a KO returner.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
Mitchell !!!!!!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
Mitchell!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
Just because the ball moved a little when it hit the ground doesn’t mean he didn’t have control of it.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
Richard Seymour is a beast!!
Tyvon Branch is laying wood
Murphy was robbed
and Mike Mitchell just lit up Sproles!!
I like what i see so far, no we need to finish off the Dolts!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
um hello mr marshall call a blitz please
September 14th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
Interception, fumble, QB sack!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Seymour!!! 2 sacks!!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
I dont come on here much but I am so upset with how the refs were looking for something. This become just too much I still havent gotten over the tuck gm
September 14th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
Please get off the field on 3rd down
September 14th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
The sad part about Seymour is…hes the only one making plays on the defensive line and hes the one getting double teamed. The thing I have noticed is the linebackers have been free to make the necessary plays just because of him. You’d think Kelly, Warren and Ellis would have an easier time getting to the QB with Seymour on the line but its like they’ve disappeared.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:12 pm

September 14th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Stop Crying Rivers!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
have to actually write a real letter to complain about this sit’es administration…but i’m going to…it’s that bad!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
That’s the second time tonight the NFL Ref’s have screwed a team. The Pats got some non-first downs on their second to last scoring drive (check the video), and now –surprize, surprize — the Raiders get screwed by the refs. That call came directly from NY to the officials booth I bet. What a travesty. Bill King is rolling over in his grave.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Huff!!! INT!!! Huff!!! INT!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Hey, they just showed Merriman with his mohawk, then a Raider fan in the crowd with his. Interesting contrast. One is a millionaire, with a great career. The other lives with his mom.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
why the heck is huff in the game
September 14th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
MR – What does that have to do with anything?
September 14th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
I DON’T CARE THEY TOOK A TD FROM US!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
Man, that was just a good catch. Have to give credit there.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
GET OFF THE DAMN FIELD ON 3RD DOWN
September 14th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
Thec, I was wrong on my run attempts prediction. By a mile. My game prediction is that we would be ahead in the 4th quarter, then choke. Plenty of time for that.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
MR = grasping for straws as Raiders/Cable play well
September 14th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
Seems like the throwback ref uniforms are making them make bad calls just like the throwback days.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:16 pm

Very nice!!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
I hate Rivers but he can put the ball where it needs to go. He frustrates the defense.

24, you just picked one off.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
Well Rivers (as much as I hate to admit it ) is an elite QB.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
MICHAEL HUFF!!! DONT HATE THE #24.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
HUFF!!!!!!!!
THATS 2 – One pick and a fumble recovery!! did we just have a Michael Huff sighting????????
September 14th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
RUN RUN RUN
September 14th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
24, except for that really bad throw he made right before the interception. Threw it into a guy covered by three Raiders. Stupid. Great QBs like Brady don’t do that crap.
I hate Rivers. I am biased.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Jerrymcd NFL official in press box says possession must be maintained all the way down to the ground. Two feet down doesn’t matter . . .
11 minutes ago from web
Jerrymcd Not buying it. That’s a TD at any level.

September 14th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
the refs used a horrible angle fot that td. why did they use the back angle and not the forward angle for the td? just plain stupid. nfl refs and replay guys are dumbest jackazzez in sports.

September 14th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
The Raiders need to establish the running game again. We obviously can’t pass so we need to wear the Chargers down again. If we keep this game close, the Chargers will find a way to win so we need to do what we do best instead of forcing something we’re not good at.

Hate to see the cart out for anyone.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
Bush needs to get the ball again.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
Defense is really inspired tonight. Rivers has made a few good passes, but otherwise not much happening for SD.
Offense has got to get a good series going here now.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
can cables playcalling be more boring. screens dmc bush? dmc in the slot. they dont even have jr dropback just all shotgun. 2 damn predictable, come on man!!! step it up cable.

Rob Ryan’s defense did what it usually does in Cleveland while ours looks 10x better. I credit alot of it to Seymour but Marshall seems to know more of what hes doing.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
See seymour give rivers the karate chop after the play?
September 14th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
We need a TD… Lets go cable mix it up. Put DMAC in the slot…..
September 14th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
I agree…Cable needs to get off of cruise control and start calling some real plays.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
“You could say they (SD) are playing bad but…….I am going to give all the credit in the world to the Raiders!!!”

C’mon JRuss, just settle in and relax, i feel a big play coming.

We know you here, MR. You are not joking.
Al appears lucid at a presser. He makes an awesome trade in an area of need. THe team is playing well.
You are not joking. You are in deep hate.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Sucks having Satele at center. Dude couldn’t open a Coke can, much less a running lane.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Ok…I want Bush to carry the ball but he looks slower in the 2nd half.
GALLERY IS BACK!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
MR…shut up…you add nothing…you are meaningless
September 14th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
HORRIBLE PASS. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE.
RUSSELL SUCKS
September 14th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Raiders need to go wildcat.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
another wasted series and another 3 and out. not looking good, gonna have to ask the D to score some points.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
All Kiffin’s fault. He stunted Russell’s growth…
September 14th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
I don’t like JR. After all these years of playing QB, you’d think he could make an accurate pass. Come on man.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
O line isn’t opening jack crap.
================
September 14th, 2009 at 9:37 pm

The Defense is tired.
The fade might be coming.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
that TD callback was out of controll bad.OMFG
September 14th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
Bo, if I’m a Raider hater, as you say, why would I want Al Davis dead? Al Davis dying means the Raiders would be good again.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
Its hard to see guys like Mark Sanchez come in as a rookie and see him look better than Jamarcus Russell.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
SD is soft……
September 14th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
Jamarcus Russell looks horrible right now.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
24, Russell’s overthrown balls are Kiffin’s fault. Kiffin stunted his growth. Remember?
September 14th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
Russell is killing us. San Diegos offense is not going to go scoreless the rest of the way, they have too much talent. We need to move the damn ball.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
We need to get over the bad call…we’ve had plenty of chances to make up for it but JR can’t complete an accurate pass.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
That was grounding all the way.

The Raiders are in the head of Rivers? I like it.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
Did anyone see Seymour give Rivers the karate chop on the play before rivers got the penalty
September 14th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
I’m giving Russell a pass for this game, no idea why.
We need to get the run game going.
Receivers need to hang on to the ball.
The O Line needs to start mauling some people.
One suggestion I have is that Cable go back to basics with Russell. Get him some nice easy passes, because he is clearly out of sorts right now.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
defensive formula
Raider Defense minus Rob Ryan minus Terdell Sands plus Ellis plus Seymour = Happy Raider Nation.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
rivers is a womans private part
September 14th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Mitchell is in there!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Wow…The Chargers look like the Raiders right now.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
3rd and 50. Bet you they still convert.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
DId SD sign Barry Sims and Kwame Harris?
September 14th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
I’m sorry. Russell sucks.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
It seems strange to watch the other team self destruct.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
did they change uniforms?
September 14th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
This is a Raider style meltdown.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
Honestly, this is where Fargas would come in handy.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
this is flat out strange, its like watching our last 6 seasons in a different uniform, im lovin’ it.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
I’m with you, 24. If Russell can just turn into a Rothlisberger – not spectacular, but big, hard to take down, manage the game well enough, and keeps INTs to a minimum – I’ll be happy. The overthrows aren’t so bad if they don’t turn into pick-6s.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
We are way more physical than the Dischargers right now.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
SCREEN PASS PLEASE!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
Cart him off with rest of ‘em!!! YES!!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
They put Mitchell in for the 3rd and 30 play? A bit scary…
September 14th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
MR has nothing left…we are competing…he can’t
September 14th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
The offense has to capitalize on this drive.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
Thats what I am talking a bout….NASTY MEAN VIOLENT FOOTBALL>>>>> DMAC GOOD HIT BABY……
September 14th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Seymour is the man!!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Russell needs to win his guys back
September 14th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
MAN!!! dfence is lookin GOOD…but, they’ve been on field QUITE a bit…we NEED offense…jmac looks horrible until the miller recep.
this game is SOOOOO in reach, ….
September 14th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
what happened to the run game?
September 14th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Seriously…we won’t win this game because of JR. All the good we have seen tonight has seriously gone out of the window. I hate to see it but Jeff Garcia could have actually helped us win this game.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
Unfortunately Russell has no clue how to play QB. much like this site can’t host sh!t
September 14th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
They need to run some screens or short passes to get Russell in some kind of rhythm
September 14th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
What a great place for that play!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
Bench Russell. Where’s Ronald Curry? haha.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
JR is not good. im sad
September 14th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Bo, I’ll cop to being a Davis hater. Is there anything wrong with that? He’s a disgraceful man, worth spending hatred on. But wishing him death? No way. That man is the gift that keeps on giving for people who hate him. He embarrasses himself in a grand fashion at least once a year.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Who is this team?!? I freaking love it!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
MR is …. who cares?
September 14th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Yeah hes clearly out of sorts.

I am telling you Seymour is the BEST pickup in a long time. No practice and he is ALL over the field. Getting after the QB stuffing the run and firing up the crowd.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
you know even if we lose you got to say we way out played them so far.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
JR is playing really bad now!!!
He was booed!!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
Marshall Law is in effect in the Oakland area!! Go D!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
We need a Rod Woodson play. Intercept the ball and run it back for a TD. We must win this game with defense.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
That had six written all over it.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
MR is …. who cares?
September 14th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
you can tell the announcers are speechless.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
WE HAVE AN ELLIS SIGHTING!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
Wow…We’re getting to the QB with a front 4 pressure that we couldn’t do for a very long time. We actually have some players.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Look at this dominant Al Davis defense in action!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Russell has no natural talent…raw tools yes…no talent
September 14th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
McFadden just scored a KO!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
Satelle, or whatever his name is, is horrible. As soon as he came in the run game went in the tank.
Gallery needs to get healthy and stay healthy.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
Who cares if we outplay them and lose? I’m not going to settle for that. With how we’re playing, theres no reason we should accept losing. I WANT TO WIN!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
Russel is only accurate when throwing to Miller!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
Actually, Gallery is back in. Satele is on the bench now.
Yeah Miller! That’s what Russell needed.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
MR..why are you here?
September 14th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
DMC with a great block!!!
We are killing them!!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
It’s official. Russell is our best O lineman.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Just throw to Miller all day. Seriously! They should have activated Myers.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
I like the trickery. I like it.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Put Russell on the O-line. We have found his talent.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Russell took out two for Higgins!!!!!!! what is happening today!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Go JR black em baby
September 14th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Maybe we have found the right way to use Russel, as a lead blocker.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
Block!!!!!!

September 14th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
jr is havin a bad game. but its how u finish not how u start. ask aaron rodgers. and we are absolutely f’in the chargers up. thats like 6 guys we put out. atleast jr can block 2day!

September 14th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Raider fans are loving it…SD fans hate it, and you have no joy from either one of those
September 14th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
we have 2 win this cuz of russell. he will have 2 make some plays here in the 4th to help us win. cable needs to settle him down by check downs screens rollouts and even a bootleg on shortyardage. he off 2nite but cable aint helpin him either.
September 14th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
Russell’s blocking was awesome. Say what you will about him, but he plays hard on the field.
We need that consistency.
September 14th, 2009 at 10:10 pm

September 14th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
why did marshall drop those guys that far on 3rd down? alright yall come back on them like u did tampa last year.
September 14th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
i told yall jr was going to have 2 make a play to help us win!!td!!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
the conspiracy lives on. yeah, I like how the announcers took back their initial diagnosis of the Murphy touchdown… basing it on one angle while deconstructing the original main points… making it all arbitrary and ambiguous… its bull crap. whatever happened to breaking the plain. the ball was down by contact and he had both feet in with ball control. The Raiders were robbed once again.
We need to write John Madden and anybody with influence. This is down right disrespect and unethical.
September 14th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
this is becoming like WWF… fixed and fake. National Fake League.
September 14th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
we should of ran the ball a bit more… some fake runs or draws… like three more runs than three passes that did not complete might have made the difference and busted through for the big gainer
