Final: Raiders 13, Chiefs 10
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, September 20th, 2009 at 1:11 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Notes from my living room:
– Hurry up, get on the plane and go home before someone takes this one away.
– Raiders force four-and-out on Chiefs last-ditch drive. Fittingly, it’s Michael Huff which breaks up a fourth-down play.
– Darren McFadden takes pitch to his left for a touchdown, Raiders lead 13-10 with 1:07 to play.
– Russell makes clutch throw _ bullet to Todd Watkins for 28 yards to the 14-yard line. with 1:20 to play.
Third-and-10, Cornell Green, as he is wont to do, tries to get a head start vs. possible KC blitz and gets false start. Third-and-15 from the 42.
– Gallery out, in locker room. Morris to LG, Satele to center
– Raiders get to the KC 37 on screen right from Russell to McFadden. They’ve got a chance to steal one.
– Chiefs miscues keeping Raiders in it _ personal foul for hitting Russell late keeps drive alive.Raiders at Chiefs 48.
– With Nnamdi Asomugha and Hiram Eugene fading with dehydration and cramps from being on the field all game, Matt Cassel predictably hits Dwayne Bowe over Stanford Routt for 29-yard touchdown with 2:45 to play.
– Raiders get a first down _ nothing else. Russell pass batted down. He’s 3-for-17, 15-for-47 for the season.
– Javon Walker muffs punt return attempt, luckily, Mike Mitchell recovers. Hard to be more lucky to be leading than Raiders are with nine minutes to play.
– John Bowie subbed for Asomugha on a third-and-5. Asomugha’s having a terrific game _ if he’s hurt, so are the Raiders.
– Eight possessions, six three-and-outs. Nice.

fix the boards please

Huff= player of the game. That was his best game as a pro!
September 20th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Mark this Dakota …this is the worst comment I have ever read from a “Raider fan” (I never thought you would say something like this).

Still, if we win, this just hurts our draft position.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
240 posts and everytime I submit it goes all over the place, lol
September 20th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Everyone says Todd Watkins should have been cut but the General always wanted him onthis squad. The archives prove it. But a win is a win. Russell stunk it up but did what he had to do in the end to win. Thank god. He cant play like that anymore
September 20th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Yeah Pete and all you Dmac haters……..he sure came up big for us with a big time first down and a TD run.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Absolutely terrible game on offense. All Russell. But in the end he deliver just as he did last week. It was terrible to watch though.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Jhill,we hold them to 10 points and you complain about the def and support JR.you are MUCH better than that.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
Huff gets all the praise! The guy looks eoons ahead of how he looked previously
September 20th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
It was ugly. Really ugly. But they won.
Is Jamarcus the next Rothlisberger? A mediocre QB who somehow finds a way to win?
September 20th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
giving McFadden credit for this win is as bad as giving Russell credit for the win.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
Maybe we should run the 2 min drill from the start of the game.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
That was the crappiest game I’ve ever seen a QB play & still win.
THE RRRAAAIIDDDAAAHHHSSSSS
September 20th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
Ill take it!!!! Huff MVP!!!! Ufck the haters
September 20th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
But really, the Chiefs should just cancel the rest of their season. It’s pretty bad that they lost that game. LOL
September 20th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
MOP GET CUT
September 20th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
RUSSELL GET CUT
September 20th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
The only difference between us & them is we’ve been bad for 6 years. We lucked out this week. We didn’t deserve to win based on our play. Maybe this is payback for last week’s results.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Well, at least we own KC!!!!!
Thank you Huff, Watkins and Huff!
Russell…you are very bad…get your schit together.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Meant Huff, Watkins and McFadden.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
How do you guys like Huff now? YEAH!!! Representing the #24 the right way.
Hey Jamarcus, where were you during the whole game and why can’t you play the game the way you did in the end?
The defense did better than last week in the same exact situation. Thank you.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
Last time Russell was this bad, Kiffin totally mocked him in the post-game interview, and Russell was way better the next week. Think maybe Cable can get all sarcastic this time around?
September 20th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Cable to JR in the locker room: “Here’s the game ball JR. Go home and practice throwing it. As a pro you stink. You are going to get me fired you LOSER”!
September 20th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Go Baltimore! Go Cleveland! We could be tied for 1st in the division.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Terp,
This team sucks, we all know it…
September 20th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
ya know. huff looked like a hall of famer 1st two games .
September 20th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Yes yes yes yes. Who wants to meet the General next week in Oakland. I’ll be there and so will Norco Bob!!!!
September 20th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Wow…Huff and and a W.
I’ll take it.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
i never liked huff,. dont know why we drafted him. but dang. dude ballin.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
1-1 is 1-1 no matter how they got it done. Just get it done.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Sure Huff looked great but what to do about our QB!!!
September 20th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
OMG I think I just got a man crush on Michael Huff…about time he showed up. Maybe he is having one of those Nnamdi and chris johnson late blooming thing.
This was karma for last week.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Its official JR is a bust!!!! Who are the 1st round QBs for next year or better what FA QBs will be available? I really hate being right on this but I called this at draft time years ago.
At least the defense played well on the road although they gave up some yards. Considering how bad the offense played, it was probably really good. Regarding the offense, what a sorry state of things… I mean they spent all preseason working on the passing game for crine out loud.
The moral of the story is you can throw the ball 200 yards on your knees but that does not make you an NFL QB. Maybe things will be better when Shillens gets back. I say start Fry at QB and Pear at RT I mean Green had two “tackles” and several penalties. Probably waiting for Barnes….

We are still just a 4-12 to 6-10 team unfortunately. Thankfully KC is almost as bad as us.

WHAT IF CHAZ SCHILLENS COMES BACK READY ?
September 20th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
what a boring and horrible game. i win is a win though
September 20th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
109 yards passing…7 completions and we win…won’t happen very ofter in the NFL…well, we do play the Broncos twice and KC once more…so 4-12…we got a chance!
September 20th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
DA WHOLE DEFENSE IS GOOD. EXCEPT OF COURSE STANFORD ROUTT… SMH.. MAN.. WE NEED A OFFENSIVE GAMEPLAN .
September 20th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
THEY KNOW HOW WE FELT LAST WEEK AT THE COLESIUM
I LEFT THAT GAME WITH MY LITTLE BOY CRYING HES HAPPY NOW I HATE TO BREAK IT TO HIM HOW BAD WE REALLY ARE
September 20th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
Huff Huff Huff!!!!!
September 20th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
IF RAIDERS BEAT DENVER , MAN, IMA BE AT WORK SMILING .
September 20th, 2009 at 1:26 pm

Sad to win a game despite your franchise Qb.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Dakota,the team doesn’t suck,the player who plays the most important position on a team sucks.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
Im so Happy!!!
Now Im posting to fast

True Lefty…
September 20th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
A win is a win. We’ll take it. But there is a lot of work to do. Way to go D!!
September 20th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
you guys are Killing me!! when it mattered JR got it done!!!
September 20th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
Dakota, team dont suck WE get sucked. Russell blows but came up clutch at the end
September 20th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
Lefty,
Just STOP it. I bashed Russell ALL GAME! Was that a nice GAME WINNING drive, or not?
I praised Huff and the defense ALL game, but how many GAME DECIDING third and 12, THIRD AND 12′S are we going to give up?!?!?!
Russell was AWFUL ALL GAME …. EXCEPT WHEN IT MATTERED!
September 20th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
I am officially on the TRADE FOR KEVIN KOLB bandwagon…he is ten times the QB Russell is.
Kolb 29/46 359 2tds 1int
September 20th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
I’m out. I prefer to enjoy a win rather than bicker about a QB having an absolutely terrible day.
I didn’t think the temp was hot but I guess the humidity was high. Lots of Raiders were getting dehydrated and cramped late.
Peace. Its a WIN. And no matter what you say, JR was horrible, but he delivered when it counted most.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
im going to get super drunk tonite! Elbo Room is crackin
September 20th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
Why should JR improve? There’s been no downside. He’s still the starter. Cable needs to pull the trigger on him at the first sign of incompetence for the day. Once they start doing that Jr may figure it out. Probably not though.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
I don’t give a rat’s ass about Russell.
Like Mike Huff just said on the post game show all the defense can do is ask for a chance to get it done. Last week, we didn’t get it done, especially in the secondary. We played too soft.
GREAT defense this time. Corrected the issues that cost us the game last week.
JRuss was AWFUL! Let me say it again, JRuss was AWFUL!
But good job, you POS, for leading the game winning drive.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
One last note: REPLACE GREEN!!!
Absolutely kills drives ..consecutively …when it counts most.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
We didn’t win that game. KC lost it by giving it away.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
Jets beat the Pats !! Ha!!
September 20th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
408
We won in spite of JR not because of him. Try to be a little objective – his QB rating is what 25??? He is the worst starting QB in the leauge right now.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Brien @ least some1 feels me….
Im bout to go to the bar and get chose…
—————————–
F the haTERS!!!!!
September 20th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
As bad as Russel was today, and he was horrible, I said to my self when The Raiders got the ball back for that last drive that what he had done the rest of the day up until then was not nearly as important as what he did on that drive. Good teams find a way to win games and bad teams find ways to loose them. This came against a bad team but finding a way to win was a step forward.
Michael Huff for the pro bowl? It has taken awhile but has he finally gotten it together? His career up until now has been disappointing but he deserves props for the last two weeks, as does Russel for getting it together with the game on the line.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
Kevin Kolb Kevin Kolb Kevin Kolb
ooops, he just threw an INT lol.

who marched us down the field??? come on man we won.. Just win baby!!!
September 20th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
I’m guessing the fans in KC are arguing about QBs as well. Last week Croyle went 16/24 177 yards and 2 TDs against the Ravens. Today their multi-million dollar knee brace couldn’t get it done and was running into defenders in the open field like he was a running back. I’m sure there are plenty of fans wishing Cassel was still hurt and Croyle had started.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
sorry Jhill.i actually thought you were being sarcastic.i apologize!
September 20th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
Thank you KC….that penalty won us the game…thank you!
Russell will probably go out and celebrate tonight like he won the game or something.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
If JaMarcus had some confidence, some weight loss, some accuracy. We may actually have something.
This come from behind win is a start, I still think the Chiefs gave us the game.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
I called Huff having a big game earlier in the week but i also thought that Russell would show up. Note to Russell, do not go and hang out with former LSU teammates on gumbo night. Congrats on the clutch win now we just have to get Chaz back figure out what’s wrong with JRuss and we can take the next two (Denver and Houston). I have a feeling that Huff will start next week.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:36 pm

I am really starting to doubt that this guy has what it takes to be a great NFL QB.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Dakota….An inexperienced young set of WR’s,a O line with more holes in it than a tramps underwear,a running back who wears rollerskates and a game plan which consists of run the ball,run the ball and then throw the ball 30 yards then punt.
How good do you think JaMarcus is gonna be ?
September 20th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Up to the last drive Russell had 3-THAT’S THREE- completions in the whole game!!!!!
September 20th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Whats the word on Gallery? He played great.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Our defense is improved. Jamarcus is a bum but he’s clutch. He comes through when it matters. Man this game had me on my heels all game. Last week o- play was feasable this game horrific. Lets just hope they show up against the broncos.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
wheres MR!!!! 4eva ur doing well in FF!!! Go 4eva!!!!
September 20th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Chiefs look an awful lot like the Oakland Raiders in past years.
Play good + dumb Penalties + dumb players = heart break.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
The defense was worn out after the first quarter because Russell is Mr three and out.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
yup Gallery has a broken leg. We can’t seem to get it any breaks.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
One of the most depressing wins I have ever seen….sorry, I can’t just pretend everything is fine because we pulled one out of our asses.
If Russell even played like an average NFL QB, we would have won both games by double digits…
Sorry Russell, I have been making excuses for you for two years now…no longer for me…thanks.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
Cripes…maybe Barnes can play LG.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
That makes it even more depressing.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
When we trust the offense (spread the field) I think JaMarcus can be better.
When we line up with max protect just play action, Russell stares at his receiver.
I think the coaching staff does not trust Russell, it came down to the last drive when they have no choice.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
England Raider…….tried to watch it on channelsurfing.net.No good.Someone posted a site on here tonight Elpsite channel 8 and it worked a treat!
September 20th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Dakota- Russel played like ish all game til that last drive but he did come through. We got the win so we can cut em some slack til next game. If we were to lose oh yeah lets rip em to shreds on all blogs but he led us to victory again. We should have won the last to games by large margins but hey… We won! go raiders. No norco for a week.haha

Whichever company’s is running Gamepass this year sucks as much as Russell.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
russell will not be this bad every week. no qb is but will he get much better is the question. if he makes these basic plays we win this game easy. he missed 2 tds today. several 1rts down passes with no pressure. he has to step it up next week. schilenz or no schilenz.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Anyone think the Pats don’t miss Richard Seymour?
They lost 16-7 to the Jets today. I love it!

Neilb-have you been watching.our line has been giving our QB plenty of time.the rookie WRs are getting wide open,and i don’t know where this run,run,30yd pass,punt comes from!
September 20th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Damn about Gallery.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:47 pm

I ended up listening to KSFO where Greg Pappa was pulling out his own hair with Russell’s incompletions.
September 20th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
The ugliest game. Nobody deserved to win this one. Thank God luck was on the Raiders side, and thank God the defense kept them in it. But against a better team, it would have been a rout. If the offense doesn’t start to do something, and SOON, this is going to be a terrible season.

Mr. Huff playing pro-bowl caliber football: 3 ints in 2 games, PD to solidify the win, tackled when it counted.
Mr. Asomugha is the best tackling cornerback in the NFL, 2 noticable big hits: one before the half cost KC a FG attempt & one on KC’s final drive to put them in a second and long.
Michael Huff playing great as nickel back in the NFL; he just might have discovered his best perfeposition in the defensive backfield.
Mr. Ellis two clutch sacks (Mr. Seymour paying dividends).
Defense was tired, on the field ALL DAY LONG & on only SIX DAYS REST from the MNF.
Game Ball must go to Mr. Huff and the rest of the defense!

Two bad throws from their qb, who hasn’t practiced all week, and two easy picks their D dropped..and you state “no matter”?

About Gamepass-
It’s real bad this year. Last two years Yahoo ran it for the NFL now they’ve got some yahoo running it.
They gave a rebate for last week and it looks like another rebate for this week.

Ugliest QB play I hve seen in a long time but good teams find a way to win! THANKS HUFF,D-Mac, and the refs. Have a good Sunday Nation!
===========
Don’t you mean a really bad team playing another really bad team means it’s a coinflip on which team makes more mistakes? You know KC fell on their face just one more time than the Raiders fell on their face.
difference is Raider fans predicted this..nay..GUARANTEED THIS WOULD BE A SLAP DOWN of kc..that McFumble and Bush would run over KC, that Russell was going to erase last weeks horrible outing.
Hard to imagine Russell could look worse than last year..but he did
And against KC??
Yep..going to be a fun season
September 20th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
We need an O line
September 20th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
THE RAIDERS MANAGED TO MAKE THE KC CHIEFS, WHO HAVE LOST 24 OF THEIR LAST 26, COME ACROSS AS SOMEWHAT DECENT..and they aren’t.
Two bad throws from their qb, who hasn’t practiced all week, and two easy picks their D dropped..and you state “no matter”?
—————————-
Richochet you do have to take into account the fact that this was a rivalry game where teams are very familiar with eachother, thats why you see teams such as the pats losing to the jets, and houston beating tennese. Last week the raiders looked better and everyone was singing a different tune. You also have to look at the fact that we were on the road. Pats raider teams would have never came through in a game like this. So im optimistic and believe we’ll play better next game. Once jamarcus find himself this team is going places.

Hey LMN:
Long time no see!
Glad to see you, how you doing?
September 20th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Lefty12, you’re right If Russell can’t get it going to ge the defense off the running game we’re in trouble. An effort likethis jus ca’t happe gain he should e much further along than this. He’s late on his processions and needs to speed up his reads.
He’s playing with very little confidence in himself and the rest of his teamates to get the job done. I thought Cable should’ve pulled him. They are woring ver hard to get him to throw the ball on time and he just wont do it.
And it makes him look very inaccurate when he just needs to play faster. I’m not sure if or how long it will take him to understand that. ut there is no way you can hold this team back if he wont perform.
This is inexcusable and he’s a better player than that. He just is doing what Huff was doing at his position he’s being too careful with the football.

Thanks Englandraider,
I ended up seeing it on adthe.net, did you ever try it?
last week I saw the monday night on espn america, this week I decided to get gamepass but it was disgusting: at first I thought it was a problem on my pc, but I guess it’s a matter of bandwith and users on their site. now that the game is over it works great.
let’s see next week …
September 20th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
Cassell had way too much time all game to pick us appart, look at the numbers, we are still a long way away, they need to clean up their act, soon!
September 20th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
Brien you were correct regarding Mr. Watkins, as I was one that thought Mr. Holland should have made the 53-man roster, but Watkins has made a big play at the end of the game 2 weeks in a row: today clutch reception to set up DMC’s game-winning TD and last week a big tackle on special teams.
September 20th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
im happy no matter how ugly it was we won
but man our lineman oh im soory i mean qb cant even hit someone on the hands in a screen.
September 20th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
JaMarcus was terrible today. There’s no way around it. He’s got to get better because teams won’t let us run much until he does. Schilens needs to get back.
However,
– Two straight weeks where J-Russ has his back to the wall late in the 4th quarter and answers the bell. That’s something to be excited about. You need a QB who can get it done when the game is on the line.
– A win is a win. We arguably should’ve beat the Chargers and should’ve lost today. We’re 1-1, either way you look at it and hopefully will end the day in a 3-way tie atop the AFC West with Denver up next week.
– Michael Huff had a fantastic game. Two nice picks. Two plays where he popped the receiver loose from catching the ball — one on a deep pass play in the first half and another to seal the win. Tremendous game. Could be the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Week. If he keeps this play of the first two weeks up forget about the bust talk. He’ll be going to the Pro Bowl. A long way off but he’s definitely coming around.
– Go Browns
– Go Ravens

Why do we have to read backwards to read this blog??????
September 20th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
Mr. Gradkowski keep watching film and studing that playbook.
Mr. Russell step up or step down, if you need to throw 30 more passes in warmups before the game then do it,to get your accuracy on target early; as your accuracy is where it should be late in the 4th (2 weeks in a row).
No more thinking where you are going to throw, no more targeting (laser lock save for the U.S. jet fighters).

We are 1-1 in the division.
Raiders, be with your families and rest.
Defeat Denver, this game is crucial as this is a divional home game.
Raiders 24 – Denver 6
September 20th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
As Ugly as it was Offensively, We Won.
Next week is a new opponent and a clean slate.
Let’s see what happens.
Jamarcus was terrible…BUT…He got it done on the final drive.
Next week is a new beginning.
Anything is possible.
September 20th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
I can’t believe ANYONE is actually giving JaMarcus credit … “when it counted he came through” … OMFG. This guy is a BUST … check the stats from all the games played today … JR has the worst QB stats BUT is the highest paid player on the team … give me a fricken break. Even Ryan Leaf completed more passes.
September 20th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Good news – I can’t see JaWalrus playing any worse than he did today. LOL.
Oh man…
September 20th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
beat the donkeys!! …khalif barnes, chaz shillens we need you this week!!
September 20th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
The bad thing about Shillens returning is that someone will see less snaps and unfortunately they will start the 1st round WR over the 4th round WR (and clearly the better WR)
September 20th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
so anybody wanna tell me where NorcoBob is?
and what happened to that (i believe) 35-13 chief win he predeicted?
sure russel sucked, but hes not the only guy on the team.
September 20th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Mr. Murphy is proving to be a solid wideout & clutch even, Mr. Schillens is better though and he has a better connection with Jamarcus as well.
My concern is Mr. Gallery and his broken fibula.
September 20th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
Raider Defense is awesome!
September 20th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
post 145,dont see it that way,the DEFENSE won the game,with JRUSS coming thru late in the game,period!Seems this could be a weekly thing,the guy just gels late in games. ps,remember when Snake thru SEVEN INTERCEPTIONS in ONE game in KC,A TOUGH place to play! RAIDERS!!!!
September 20th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
omg that was not a late hit on Rivers. give me a break
September 20th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Hey, Gilbert,
That works only if you’re down by one score. If KC was not as bad as they are, they would have been up by four touchdowns. Try coming back in under two minutes with that one. You can’t expect even a great defense to stay on the field as long as the Raiders did and keep the score down to 10, if they play a good team.
September 20th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
The ‘D’ gets the game ball as well as credit for the win.
JR needs to stop playing rocket man. He needs to think about his actions too.
SeaBass made his check today.
Raider Cool Raider ‘D’

Dakota said: “Thank you KC….that penalty won us the game…thank you!”
After seeing a lot of your posts, It doesn’t seem like you are even a fan. They win the game and all you can do is still say how bad Raiders suck.
Objectively, everyone says how much of a ‘joke’ Raiders are, hahahahahahha, but….this is a team that has won 3 of their last 4 regular season NFL games, and it canbe argued that they got robbed on winning their last 4 straight. Regardless if they got robbed they basically dominated the team picked by many “experts”$ to be the AFC Super Bowl reps.
Past six years blah, blah, blah. How does a team that “sucks” and is such a joke win 3 of 4 reg. season games.
You said ‘we’ as if you are a fan, but seeing your posts you are anything but.
September 20th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
If you look back at the Raider glory days of the past, they won more than a few ‘ugly’ games with bad stats etc.
Chiefs offense kicked butt last week against Ravens, and what did they do this week?
Raiders still have not given up a 100 yd. rusher yet.
There is a lot of good to come from today for crying out loud.
September 20th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
That had to be the ugliest win in Raiders history. Now that we’ve got irrefutable evidence that Russell does indeed SUCK it’s time to sit his big butt on the pine and start Gradkowski. The running game was crap (save Mcfadden’s TD), Green was up to his usual tricks AND we lost Gallery… Holy smokes. At least Huff has resurrected his career – just in the nick of time. I have to say, I was disgusted by this mess after getting our hopes up post SD… A win is a win but at this rate we’ll be 1-15… Arrrrgh!
September 20th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
where is realmaddenraider’s sorry ass? MR “predicted” a raider loss, and so did norcobob. couple of fake raider fans.pussies. Norco said oaklands D would choke in the 4th quarter! where are u two pussies at now?
September 20th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Russel was ERRATIC with his throws.. The offense sucked for most of the game.Defense played great. We have the defense to win some games, defense keeps the game close, but JR needs to be able to complete passes to open receivers, at a minimum. Great QBs can hit receivers when they’re Not open.
September 20th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
yup the raiders are superbowl bound!
Jamarcus for president! There’s more scoring at a a soccer game.
The game was as exciting as watching two blind men fight in a boxing match! Raiders and chiefs are both a joke!! lol!!
September 20th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
We are a work in progress..gotta go through these growing pains..we chipping away at something HUGE that’s in store for us..Just be patient and see.
September 20th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
Just got into town and saw game on delay, Im glad we won. Now is it me or does it seem like our running plays take forever to develope as far as Jamarcus getting the ball to the running backs?
Free Dakota

still no RMR? no norco?
hopefully those guys dont come back….
September 20th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
J. Russell didn’t look as good as I think he should at this point in his carrear. He had a bad game, mabe this is just a one time deal, but he missed alot of easy throws for a Pro QB. I really hope he picks it up.
September 20th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Game ball to Huff. Looks like he is turring the corner. He is the guy who won the game, he really stepped up.
September 20th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
as bad a JRUSS was today he came through when we needed him. I really think they should play him in a 2 minute offense with 4 wide to start the first quarter.
September 20th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
WOW … all you JaMarcus lovers are you REALLY Raider fans?
This guy is the WORST starting QB in the NFL … even the 4 rookie QBs drafted in the last 2 years are further ahead then JR.
You guys are clueless … I have never seen so many brainless football fans as I have on this site.
September 21st, 2009 at 12:58 am
J rock, was poor all day.. true.. look at this though, if he comes out on fire.. .and finishes, and our defense doesn’t fall apart, we can have big big leads and win by big margins, he will rise, the good QB always lead their teams under adversity late to win.
September 21st, 2009 at 7:32 am
Raideralex99..i dont think you know what your talkin about….JRUSS numbers last year where right behind Flaco. He has brought us back from behind two weeks in a row. This was his worst game but we won because he stepped up. How many games last year did he have good numbers but we lost? 5 or 6…..
Rivers throws for 400+ and the Dolts lose. So what do you care about Stats or our QB that can have a real bad game on the road but drive the team for the game winner in the last 2 minutes. The only people who are clueless are the ones that call themselves Raider fans but boo JRUSS at home games. I have season tickets at i always tell those people to STFU……JRUSS has to be our QB for the future of the Raiders.
Rothersburger has bad numbers but in close game he is clutch. JRUSS is going down that road. He is clutch in 2009.
