Halftime: Broncos 13, Raiders 3
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, September 27th, 2009 at 2:39 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Scoring
Oak_Sebastian Janikowski 48-yard field goal, 6:37
Den_Matt Prater 21-yard field goal, 1:09
Notes:
– The Raiders lost a shot at a 61-yard field goal attempt at the end of the half when replay officials ruled (correctly, it appears) that Zach Miller had one foot on the sideline when he caught a 28-yard pass from JaMarcus Russell.
– Denver drove 76 yards but had to settle for Prater’s 21-yard field goal when Michael Huff broke up a thrid-and-goal pass to Eddie Royal at the goal line.
The Broncos had a first down at the 3, but Richard Seymour stuffed Knowshon Moreno for no gain on first down, with Kyle Orton throwing incomplete to Peyton Hills with Tyron Branch in coverage on second down.
Leading up to the stand, the Raiders were far too forgiving in the middle, with Jabar Gaffney catching 15- and 14-yard passes from Orton.
– Russell had completions of 18 yards to Louis Murphy for a first down and a 12-yard pass to Zach Miller on third-and-16 which was enough to set up Janikowski for a 48-yard field goal.
Raiders did some good things with the run, but lost momentum when a McFadden fumble resulted in a six-yard loss, with Miller recovering.
– Jonathan Holland stuffed at his own 14-yard line. Offensive booed as it takes the field.

boooooo
September 27th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
hey Jerry,as a reporter and supposedly neutral observer,why didn’t you mention the illegal contact on DHB on the 2nd int.?
September 27th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
Stop blaming the refs
Acept responsibility for a bad raider team, mostly at the QB position…
They should go back to running the ball, where is the vaunted zone blocking system…
September 27th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
Jamarcus is a bust!
September 27th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
JR sucks, Huff, Murphy, Dmc, Bush, are lookin good, we need Grow or frye in this game otherwise another high pick can I start saying draft coy Mcoy
September 27th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
I know many here are upset but that score should be 3-3 or Raiders up.
The refs really screwed DHB on some calls. And its making both him and JR look bad.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Seriously people … how long can JaMarcus last?
September 27th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Lions get the win despite Campbell throwing for 340 yards and 2 scores. Had a pick as well though.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
dhb and russell look really bad hope japoatroast can step it up.
why are we throwing on 1st down after a couple of good runs that interception should not have been available to denver until 3rd down.
stupid jabigmac
September 27th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
what a joke… Raiders better come out swinging in the 2nd half
September 27th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
I don’t think DHB literally stopped his route at all …he made a leaping attempt at the ball.
But it was clear as day the defender made illegal contact and stopped his momentum coming out the break. I believe its all related. JR already was releasing the ball and DHB couldn’t get to it as a result.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Terrapin:
The refs are making JR look bad?!
He’s been doing that all by himself.
Since the two picks he’s been better but the play calling is limited to what he can do and that hurts us as well.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
ugly..just butt ugly.
Russell is toast. His body language shows it. His play shows it. His demeanor shows it.
Bey? 2 1/2 games, 1 catch. Will have been paid 1,200,000 by manana AM. do the math.
Cable? I have seen tree stumps that have shown more promise, and certainly appear brighter.
Defense is getting shredded to the tune of almost 200 yds by the half.
McFumble? Well…TWO fumbles, lol. And one run for 15 yds..and SIX MORE RUNS FOR SIX YARDS.
Wait. It’s not ALL negative.
Seems to be a smashing day near the bay
September 27th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
The Seahawks jerseys are the ugliest things I have ever seen.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
So I guess we can disect Russell’s FOUR incompletions.
1 drop by Lawton.
1 incompetion to Miller who didn’t get his foot down.
And 2 passes thrown to DHB that were picked.
The first pass that was picked, DHB was clearly bumped and fell to the ground.
The second pass that was picked, DHB came out of the route and sat down. Terrapin argues that DHB was picked. JRuss led him coming out of a cut, and he stopped.
Lefty, you really didn’t come with the are you watching the game cliche, did you?
September 27th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Rusell get ready to be named a bust around all the NFL only not in this raider nation blog, where a lot of fans still suppport Rusell at Qb…
September 27th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Raider75…..you haven’t seen the Newcastle Utd away shirt have you ?
September 27th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
We have to get Mitchell more snaps!!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Jerrys hating on mcfumble on twitter
September 27th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Man, I watched the last quarter of the GB/Niners game.
On the last drive Favre takes ‘em 80 yards with no time outs and that last pass!!

Dude, grab a lollipop, and quit drinking the kool aid.
At what point to you face the obvious?
At what point do you cut your losses?
When drafting, you draft what you hope will turn out to be a star.
)
Drafting isn’t a science. Sometimes you get a star, sometimes you get the “black hole” (pun intended
In this case, you got the abyss, looking up at the black hole.
Just wave goodbye. JR’s ship has sailed, and it appears he’s rudderless.

…………
I guess not. I know I’m almost blind from the few clips at the half from Seattle. That and those Russell picks have given me a massive headache. lol
September 27th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
hey yall that int by russell you say dhb tripped? It don’t matter he threw it into double cov. and we should ran it. just disgusting so far and we need a huge revival in the 2nd half.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
1) The defense is the only thing keeping us in the game.
2) JaMarcus sucks, not smart, can’t change a play = to simple of an offense. If we had a pro bowl QB we win AFC west hands down.
Al Davis should beg Rich Gannon out of the booth, I don’t care how mad the old man is. Gannon will be better than Russell when he is 85 years old.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
These LBs suck.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
England…….with less than 2 mins on the clock ! Watched most of it …great game.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:54 pm

they probably will..
strike one..strike two…STRIKE THREE…YOU’RE OUTTA THERE!!.
oh wait..this isn’t baseball.
No wonder JR keeps confusing the “swing away” with “give it away”
September 27th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
Dear Al,
Please put grass on the infield turf, it looks ridicoulous.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
why does every route run by our completely inexperienced receiver corp go beyond 15 years? what happened to outs, slants, button hooks?

September 27th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
thanx judge
September 27th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Raiders come out looking like they have made no adjustments on Defense.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Dear Al,
Please treat great players good aka……
1) Rich Gannon.
2) Marcus Allen.
3) Tim Brown.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
cowher next year and new d coordinator.i don’t care play calling by cable is terrible and irks me and marshall sucks at play calling. they stayin away from aso and c.johnson and attacking the middle. we should be takin advantage but no.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
keep running it…
September 27th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Seymour is now an official Raider.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
screw the Raiders it’s all about the Raiderettes!

Are we up 10,001 excuses for JaMarcus.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
We suck again…….
Common denominator = Al Davis & John Hererra.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
I’m outta here. Still some daylight left. No reason to waste it indoors watching this crap.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Now we cannot stop the run
September 27th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
The play calling is limited to what he can do?
LMFAO!
All JRuss can do is drop back and throw the ball 15-20 yds down the field?
Cable trust him to read a deep route, but not a short crossing or slant route?
Give me a F’n break!
Cable is clueless!
DHB is a long way away!
McFumble is KILLING US! MNF and now again!
This offense is a mess!
September 27th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Farve will be tired out by November. Dude has no stamina left.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Al Davis
You Sir, are done for the year.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
well were done for today
September 27th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
LBs ..where are they?
September 27th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
The Broncos will cover the spread, they went from being a underdog +2, to a favorite -2.
Smart money was on Oakland, so I took the broncos and will now collect my earnings.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Now we cannot stop the run
And Denver has given up zone blocking for power blocking.
You would think Cable would know how to stop that.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
There is one person to blame for the young players issues.
Al Davis, you can’t change coaching staff’s every year.
You need a GM.
You need an offensive Coordinator, not a “passing game” coordinator.
What a joke
September 27th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
gannon is not a raider hater. the truth is the truth….
September 27th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
anybody see dumervil absolutely overpower cornell? cornell really sucks
September 27th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Gannon is being critical because he WANTS to see Oakland do better. There is no doubt. He’s not taking low shots at us!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Jhill,it was a serious question since you didn’t seem to see DHB trip and get hooked on the 2 ints.turn over!!!!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
mcfumble sucks
September 27th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
you can hear in his voice that gannon wants the raiders to be better. Anything he is or has said that is negative is completely accurate anyway.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
This game is just getting disgusting to watch. ZM held – no call.
Its hard to compete when 1 team is allowed to get away with so much.
These are big missed calls.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
the refs are going to job us
he cant recover that fumble
September 27th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
i think we get the ball back…
September 27th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Guys …
It’s not that hard!
McDaniels and Nolan have their team better prepared than Cable and Marshall.
Denver’s plan is to double Miller and make the WRs beat them. On offense, attack the LBs.
Can’t really tell you what the hell Cable and Marhsall are doing.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
bout time!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
PHuck McFadden.he sucks worse than JR.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
fuc
September 27th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Terrapin,
You’ve got to be kidding me with this ref business. I don’t think the refs have anything to do with the LBs getting toasted all day.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
SON OF A GUN!!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
mcfumble strikes again…
*sigh
September 27th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
i dont know i have been watching football my whole life and i feel like i learn of new rules that i never knew existed when i watch raiders games.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Nice play by Mitchell erased by McFumble, typical.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
why dont we use bush more???
September 27th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Wait, how/why was that fumble not overturned?
September 27th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
173 yrds rushing so far for Denver, way to address stopping the run. Maybe we can add another WR/TE/RB in the next draft to help.

September 27th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Jhill – I questioned the LBs above too ….said “LBs…where are they”
BTW refs were just about to give the ball to the Donkeys again on the fumble when the player was clearly out of bounds.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
MC FUMMMMMMMMMMMBLE….right on cue
September 27th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Denver isn’t saddled with chumps like Russell and McFadden.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
sht…they actually got that call right
September 27th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
mcdaddy needs to take the rest of today off…
run with bush the rest of the way…
September 27th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Moreno looks like what we were expecting from McFumbles, without the quickness.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
LBS ARE NO WHERE IN THIS GAME!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Cmon Lefty …
In one breath you’re saying that DHB got tripped on one INT and hooked on the other, and you still are bashing JRuss?
Makes no sense!
If you question those two plays, he should have been 13/13 in the first half.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
whatever happened to the rule that if a player was out of bounds he couldnt be the 1st to touch the football?
September 27th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Mike Mitchell will have a better career than D-Mac and Russell.
D-Mac sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has he ever broke more than one tackle on a run? And he is now averaging more than 1 fumble per game.
I’d rather have Fargas.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
let’s cut Fargas so McFadden can carry the team.isn’t that what all the experts on here kept saying.stick to whatever jobs you have!!!!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
McFumble sucks
Give Mike Bush the ball, he is the better runner
September 27th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
Ok, how about we offer 6 million a year for Cowher to unretire. We HAVE to bring in an experienced and successful coach. No more young guys, no more unproven guys
September 27th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
Raider Fan In NYC
Yes, you are right, what was I thinking? We are doomed
September 27th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Can’t everyone be a CONTROL PASSER like you, mr Gannon.
Jeez
September 27th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
How the heck is that pass interference not called?
September 27th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
All kidding aside. These LBs are ghost. You wouldn’t even know they are on the damn field. They are doing sht
September 27th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
Judge, bc no intelligent experienced successful coach would come here and be undermined by Al Davis.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
This team is awful. We looked so good in week 1 and we lost and the air just came out of the balloon. The coaches are awful, the play calling is a joke its SO predictable there are no change of direction plays, our defense has been non-existent since the 3rd quarter of week 1 showing the same bad vanilla defense as last year. We had a chance to play a rival that isn’t that good in our building with the division lead up for grabs and this is what we get.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
suck 1 troll
September 27th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
yes i am bashing him-he sucks.i’m getting sick of this crap that he has showed he can do it.start doing it you fat ass.quit throwing into double coverage.quit staring down your WRs.start looking like a professional QB like all the other young QBs who have come into the league the last couple of years.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Ok, I can’t watch anymore. Should be a long season
September 27th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
If I were a Jr. top prospect in college Id stay the extra year knowing the Raiders don’t have a 1st round pick in 2011.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
Seymour loses his cool and gets the Personal Foul
September 27th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
I am glad I went fishing and missed that debacle.
We cant run the ball
We cant stop the run
We cant pass the ball
We cant stop the pass.
Pretty simple stuff to me.
The players suck
September 27th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
Dam Faith Hill is sexy
Maybe she could play linebacker or QB for the Raiders.
