Third quarter: Broncos 20, Raiders 3
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, September 27th, 2009 at 3:29 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Scoring
Den_Knowshon Moreno 7-yard run (Matt Prater kicks PAT), 10:57
Notes:
– Denver was at the Oakland 27 following a 23-yard third down pass from Kyle Orton to Brandon Marshall and a 5-yard run by Knowshon Moreno, threatening to put the game out of reach.
The Raiders gave up a first down on a pass interference penalty on Chris Johnson _ with Jabar Gaffney asking for and receiving a late flag.
Denver has rushed for 189 yards in three quarters and and could put both Correll Buckhalter (91 yards) and Knowshon Moreno (89) over 100.
– Gerard Warren stripped Buckhalter with Mike Mitchell recovering to give the Raiders a first-and-goal at the 16 and get off the deck.
McFadden squandered the gift with his third fumble, this one recovered by Brian Dawkins at the 6-yard line.
– The Raiders got as far as the Denver 45 with the help of a fourth-down offsides penalty on the Broncos, but their passing game failed them again.
Russell misfired toward Zach Miller on first down, McFadden was stacked up for no gain on a toss sweep to the right on second down, and Russell as sacked on third-and-10 despite having ample time to throw.
– Moreno capped an 80-yard, eight-play drive with his TD run, a drive in which the Raiders needed to set the tone and instead got pushed around.
Buckhalter had a 23-yard run and the Raiders contributed to their own demise when Richard Seymour drew a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty, pushing Ryan Clady back and then continuing to mix it up well after the whistle.

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 3:25 pm
Has D-mac ever had a run where you said, “That’s why he was the #4 pick”?
Nothing close to that moment.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
McFadden is pathetic.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
It’s official — McFadden is McStinko.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
These LBs are a joke. They are non-existent …doing nada all game! Denver is running all over them.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
terrible
September 27th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
At least Kiff and the Vols won yesterday.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Mcfumble is a wuss
September 27th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
There’s nothing wrong with Russell. Those 2 picks were bad no calls by the refs (at least 1 of them, the pick route on DHB).
DMC’s fumble killed us. Put the nail in the coffin.
The LBs are pathetic. You can’t expect the Dline/Corners/Safeties to make ALL the stops! (Dline has being doing much either though)
September 27th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
How did this team go from the first game of greatness to two weeks of pee wee league style of playing? This team should have easily been 3-0 and caught a luckly star last week to make it 1-2.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
Cable: Resign.
Herrera: Reach for the revolver.
Gannon: Stop laughing.
Kiffin: Please stop laughing.
Davis: Just die, baby.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Man I hate to say it but this is really not a good team, bottom line.
Our offense is terrible. The Lions are playing better than we are this year. At least the lost there first couple of games to respectable teams.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Nice call by Cable in the first quarter. We got the goalline stop, crowd is hyped……..and he calls two straight passes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Tim Tebow? Sam Bradford? anyone?
September 27th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Ok we need 3 td’s… Pfft!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
Man this is a bad Rader team.
They are continuing the legacy all right.
DMAC and Russel are terrible.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
i BROKE A FEW THINGS AND IM STILL PISSED
September 27th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
Russell, D-Mac and DHB
The anti-triplets.
I have more confidence in Russell than the other two.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Ok, Lefty …
I just think a lot of you guys are setting yourselves up for an even bigger disappointment if you simply think that changing the QB makes this team any different.
We still have McFadden fumbling away the MNF game, and this game. We still have a DC isn’t looking much different that Ryan. We still have a rookie WR who you want to give all the excuses in the world for.
Forcing it into double coverage? LOL, there are only 3 receivers out in the pattern. Miller is doubled, and the other 2 guys are rookie WRs!
This is too funny! Bring on Gradkowski!
Heck, let’s go for a high draft pick!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Screw McFadden. What a pathetic player.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
This team is terrible… Russell is a BUST no BS.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Damn these linebackers suck
September 27th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
quit blaming Cable.he coaches a supposedly professional team.are you people saying he shouldn’t call passing plays?he tried to run and your great RB,McFumble,put the ball on the ground 3 times.this isn’t high school were you can just run every down,you have to be able to pass the ball.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
At the #4 pick McFadden is a bust!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Who wants to buy my JR Jersey? It’s new! 1/2 price!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
theyre saying booo-urns. This game/team/coaching staff/owner is an embarassment.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
This team is terrible. Russell is a bust. End of story.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
JerrymcdWoman flings drink at police escorting man from stadium. She’s rewarded with handcuffs. Who throws away 10-dollar beers?
LOL
September 27th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
MCFADDEN IS A BUST!!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
BOOOOOOO
Russell 10/16 61 yds. 2 int Call me JaAwful.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
How much longer will they go until they pull Russell? You can’t seriously put the season on the line with this crap much longer.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
mcfadden sucks
if this keeps up.. we need a new Qb and Gruden.. shoot bring Gannon out of retirement
September 27th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
I can’t take this anymore….it’s painful
September 27th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
McFadden sux!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
same ol ish!!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
High school offense….
September 27th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Promote Rankin, McFadden to practice squad.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
So you like those 2 running plays Cable called right there Lefty?
Gimme a break!
This guy is clearly a puppet for the vertical offense and 4 man line, man to man, pressure defense. Both Al Davis staples. We do not have the All Pro players to play this way, but Cable be damned if he doesn’t go down trying.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Freakin embarassing

3-13, Well Id say draft bradford but not sure we could afford to and he’d just end up being a bust with 4 coaches in 3 years and a horribly run franchise.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
Nice block Bush…..way to help out
September 27th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
boooooo im out peace
September 27th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
Are they yelling BOOOO or BRUUUCE?
September 27th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Why every first round we have suck? We pick every year in the top-10 and we can’t select a Pro Bowl caliber player.
JaMarcus suck, McFadden is average at best, DHB has 1 catch in 3 games, less than 50 yards receiving in 7 NFL games counting pre-season, Huff average at best, Gallery is a journeyman, Fabe Washington, Derrick Gibson, Napoleon Harris, Janikowski,…
Only Asomugha and he needed 4 years to play well.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Garcia sux BUT HE WAS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
I think I saw mike walsh in the coaches box…
September 27th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Garcia!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Move DMac to WR permanently. He can’t run effectively between the tackles. He goes down at first touch. Let him be our Brandon Stokley – Slot receiver. Our RB should be Bush, Fargas & Rankin, assuming someone else doesn’t claim him off waivers.
JaBeefRoll should be put back on the shelf to age more. He’s definitely been served before his time. Our offense, primarily due to JaBeefRoll’s inability to grasp that many concepts, is plain vanilla and totally predictable. Our running game isn’t because they don’t respect our ability to pass. They just stack the box and put the game in JaBeefRoll’s hands where he promptly throws it away. I feel for the Defense. They ought to take Russell out & give him a blanket party. Maybe he would then give a crap.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
cable is really startin to piss me off even more. how the bleedin hell does bush only get 4 carries in the game while dmc keeps fumblin? and why does he choose to run the ball now when we should’ve been runnin earlier? hes a joke with his terrible playcalling and you can’t be balanced with the passin o non existent and us not runnin the ball. SUPER MAD RITE NOW!!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
That sack of Jamarcus on the raiders 3 yard line was the most hilarious thing I have seen in my life. That Fatso couldn’t even move.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
sup Vegas?………… arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Im so disappointed with this team
September 27th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
Damn glad i didnt go to this game…
September 27th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
3 fumbles on 11 carries, LOL!!!
Over a fumble a game for his career.
Start Bush, Fargas and Rankin as a backup, and D-Mac return KO’s and be a 3rd down back. He is not an everydown back, the sooner Cable realizes it the better.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
El tato, its bc our franchise lacks continuity and our owner undermines coaches. How do you expect young players to develop in an environment like that? These guys aren’t all this bad but they come in they lose they see how things are run and they become jaded and stop caring.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
408,
What’s happening brother!!! This is fun isn’t it??
The D deserves better. That goalline stand was great, and than an int….argghhhhh
September 27th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Russell is a bust..
September 27th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Dakota
ur boy mcfumble blows a$$….
September 27th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
It amazes me that all the top QBs picked in the last 2 years are 10X better than JaMarcus … wow even Stafford won with a crappy team. Sanchez 3-0, Flacco 3-0. At some point JaMarcus has to make something out of nothing and this clown can’t do anything.
PLEASE stop with the Cable bad playcalling … your fricken QB still can’t learn the whole playbook after 3 years.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Less than 4 yards an attempt, lol!!!!
Way to stretch the field, I’m sure DHB did a great job again pulling over the safery, lol
September 27th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Vegas
got smashed in fantasy by RaiderMight and then this BS… Thank goodness 4 Patron…
September 27th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Vegas, Cable is a puppet. He doesn’t make the decisions. Davis drafts the players. Davis signs the FAs. Davis names the starters. Davis calls the plays. Cable is just the sap who takes the abuse. The Raiders will only return to respectability when Davis goes. And I don’t care whether he sells, retires or dies. Just as long as he goes…and soon.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Some of Cables calls are to protect the defense. He has to keep the O on the field longer so you get a few runs. But now it doesn’t matter.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Russell is 10/16 for 65 yards and two picks.
That makes it hard for the running game.
The plays that Cable is calling are dictated by what Russell can play-until he masters the playbook.
We should live so long.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
this is embarassing… I don’t care how much you pay a man, because at the end of the day you pay these players to win. I say sit russel and start bush. All players on this team earn a check, so if they can help play them. Gradkowski and bush.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
NOBODY LIKES # 2!!!!!!!!!! ITS A FLUSSIE!!!!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
some of you can keep your blinders on,but we have the WORST QB in the NFL.we have a bust at RB,although his fumbling problem can be fixed.the sad part is when they were both drafted,they were considered wise picks.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
How much does Russell make this year? When is his guaranteed money going to run out?
September 27th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
When it comes to our defense in this game, they are worn out-they were last week with Russell’s nine three and outs with five in a row and they are again this week.
The presence of Russell is handicapping the offense and the defense.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Did I hear the fans chanting “Russell Sucks”?
September 27th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Al Davis: Talent Spotter?
2006: Michael Huff – Bust (despite last week)
2007: JaMarcus Russell – Bust
2008: Darren McFadden – Bust
2009: Darrius Heywood-Bey – Certain Bust
Al Davis: The worst GM in NFL history.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
even good teams cant win with 5 turnovers
September 27th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
The quarterbacks on the bench are only average but average would be a freaking relief right now.
Sit him down and let someone else play.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
I give Russell one more chance when Chaz gets back. If Russell can’t step up with his other security blanket, then Russell needs to sit down the rest of the year.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Six Losing Seasons, WORKIN ON 7
September 27th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Yes you heard the fans chanting Russell sucks and I was chanting it right along with ‘em.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Russel doesn’t care – he got 30 million guaranteed money – what does he care about being a decent QB. He’s robbing the Raiders.
We deserve every loss…
September 27th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
man i tried to defend russell but crap us crap….he sux
September 27th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
The ENTIRE offense is a mess!
2 Rookie WRs! DHB is NOT getting it done. Make excuses for him if you want, but Britt, Harvin, and plenty of other rookie WRs are doing WAY more. Heck, even Murphy!
Oline! Henderson and Gallery are probably the 2 guys who could start for another team. Pears, Morris, Carlisle, and Green should all be backups or out of the league.
Scheme! 2 and 3 receiver routes where both WRs go 10 plus yds down the field and th TE is doubled.
QB! No leadership or recognition to AUDIBLE to slant or crossing routes. Just bad play all around!
RB issues! Bush should clearly be starting and getting 20-25 carries a game. McFadden is not getting it done!
The ENTIRE offense is a joke and that is on Cable!
I bet you McDaniels would use McFadden, Bush, and Russell completely different that what we are seeing today.
Outcoached, AGAIN !!!!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
Trade for david carr from the Giants. He is a game manager which is a massive upgrade at this point, he is also relatively young and looked good this preseason.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
2nd half-Russell3for 8 for 1 yd.i hear you Jhill,he isn’t a problem.open your eyes!!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
blow up the house!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
According to the Red Zone commentator “Russell not safe for television viewing. I guess he knows what we know. He’s JaAwfull.
September 27th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
russell and cable lost us the game. don’t care what nobody says.
September 27th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
Get Walter back. He played better that Russell is right now and he had no line, receivers or RB’s. Say what you want about Walter but he did have a strong accurate arm. And, he was bright enough to learn all of the playbook.
Gannon made the observation that Russells audible aren’t they are fake calls. that probably because he’s not allowed yet to call real changes.
JaDumbSchit is a dagger is the a$$ of progress.
September 27th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
Where are all the Russell lovers at?
September 27th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
I hope Al can hear the boos…..
Boooooooooooooo
September 27th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Bring back Andrew Walter, at least he was accurate, lol
September 27th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Damn he got up!
September 27th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
raiders half 29 yards of total offense in the 2nd half. Nice! Thats awesome! Outstanding!
September 27th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Again he got up! Damn
September 27th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
give fargas D-mac carries
September 27th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
how long will we have to put up with clown?who will ever buy a ticket to see the fat blob play?Pathetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
Shane Lechler: 190 NET yards punting.
Jamarcus Russell: 67 TOTAL yards passing.
Jarmarcus needs to be benched.
September 27th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
Russell makes me miss McClown. At least he had heart.
September 27th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
These linebackers look like mamas boys….need some criminals in there
September 27th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
I don’t quit watching Raider games too often but this is one of them. MCFADDEN IS A BUST!
September 27th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
This was painful to watch..living in canada we Raider fans get few Games ..I like the idea of getting ” Chucky” back !
