Postgame wrap
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, October 4th, 2009 at 2:59 pm in Oakland Raiders.
News, notes and observations from the Raiders’ 29-6 loss Sunday to the Texans in Houston:
– So you want Tom Cable’s head on a platter. Al Davis, given his track record, is on some level probably considering the same thing.
There goes your head coach, offensive coordinator, play caller, and de facto line coach, gone in an instant, and a new victim served up on the road to the New York Giants.
Now what?
Your suggestions, of course, are welcome and encouraged.
– The Raiders defense made a lot of plays on the other side of the line of scrimmage. They had four sacks with their beloved natural four-man pressure.
Absolve the defense from the blame for Sunday’s loss would be to shrug of offensive yardage on the “explosive plays” Cable talked about following last week’s 23-3 loss to Denver. He describes an explosive play as any run of 11 yards or more and any pass play of 16 yards or more.
In the first half, Houston had runs of 11, 11 and 32 yards from running back Steve Slaton, the last one for a touchdown. Ryan Moats added a 12-yard run. That’s four rushes for 77 yards.
Meanwhile quarterback Matt Schaub had a 62-yard completion to Andre Johnson, 41 yards to Ken Walter, 44 to Owen Daniels, 18 to Slaton (for a touchdown) and 17 yards to Joel Dreessen. That’s five completions for 182 yards.
All told, that’s nine plays totaling 259 yards _ 28.8 yards per snap during a half in which the Texans took command of the game with a 20-6 lead.
All that happened before the Raiders should have been worn out by the offensive struggles, so pay little mind to the “on the field for too many snaps” talk. Most of the damage occurred when they should have been relatively fresh.
Yes, the Raiders held Houston to 47 net yards in the second half. But there was more than a little 2006 in that figure, with the Texans killing the clock and keeping it conservative, secure in the knowledge the Raiders weren’t going to score if they played until Tuesday. With that in mind, Cable’s crediting the defense for the second half performance rings hollow.
Did the Raiders get physically pushed around? No, but they blew enough coverages and assignments to make things far too easy for Houston.
– Justin Miller didn’t get outside the 20-yard line until his third kickoff return. Jacoby Jones returned a booming Shane Lechler free kick 95 yards for a touchdown. The Raiders gave up a first down for having 12 defenders on the field for a Houston punt. Johnnie Lee Higgins returned one punt for a minus-3 yards and then essentially a drop-kicked one to the Texans on his final return.
On the opening kickoff, Sebastian Janikowski’s onsides kick attempt was recovered by Houston, and a later pooch attempt set up the Texans with good field position. Seabass converted two more field goal attempts and hasn’t missed this season, and Shane Lechler punted for a 53.4 average and a 45.9 net, pinning Houston inside the 20 three times. As JaMarcus Russell said earlier this season, sometimes the best play is to throw it out of pounds and turn it over to your all-pro punter.
– These are Russell’s first four games _ 12-for-30, 208 yards, 1 TD; 7-for-24, 109 yards, 0 TDs; 12-for-21, 61 yards, 0 TDs; 12-for-33-128, 0 TDs. He’s got four interceptions. Time for one of those stats services to determine if a quarterback has ever hard four worse games and retained his starting job. He’s throwing it out of bounds and giving it back to Lechler far more than anyone intended.
Russell was 6-for-20 to wide receivers. The Raiders have gone eight quarters without a touchdown.
Pick a maligned Raiders QB of your choice _ Marc Wilson, Todd Marinovich, Donald Hollas, Kerry Collins _ and try and find four worse games played consecutively. Collins looks like Dan Marino about now by comparison.
Since the Raiders dropped by Cable’s count nine balls, it’s not as if Russell got a lot of help. It may have been _ gulp _ his best game. That’s how low the standards are at this point.
– It’s officially open season on the Raiders strategy to go heavy on the passing all through training camp, convinced that their running game would be just fine.
After a nice first half in the season opener against San Diego . . . pffft.
The Raiders bottomed out running the ball against Houston, gaining 45 yards on 22 carries, with 20 of those yards coming on a 20-yard reverse by Darrius Heyward-Bey, who more than doubled his season offensive output on consecutive first half plays when he had an 18-yard catch preceding the run.
Or try it this way _ remove the Heyward-Bey reverse, as well as a 7-yard loss by Louis Murphy on a reverse, and take away the 13 meaningless yards by Justin Fargas to kill the clock in the first half and the Raiders had 18 yards on 18 carries.
Fargas got his most extensive time (his violent running was supposed to be a spark) and he had 24 yards on 10 carries. Michael Bush had 10 yards on three carries and lost a fumble after catching a screen pass. Darren McFadden, who had three fumbles last week, lost three yards on six carries, had no gain longer than four yards, and appeared to have his “lead back” status stripped because of ineffectiveness.
The Raiders were 2-for-15 converting third downs and their possession chart (not including the end of the first half) read punt, punt, field goal, punt, punt, field goal, punt, fumble, safety, punt, punt, downs, fumble, punt.
– Yes, the above statistics are evidence the offensive line had its worst day, with converted tackle left Erik Pears getting the worst of it at Robert Gallery’s left guard spot.
“I don’t think we blocked anybody, we’ve got to say it like it is,” Cable said. “We didn’t play well up front offensively.”
– Even through the frozen pixels and stop-and-start status of my home DirecTV, it was one of the more active games from defensive tackle Tommy Kelly that I can remember. Sure enough, he finished with 13 tackles (nine tackles and four assists).

Great day to be a Raider fan, isn’t it?
October 4th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Don’t worry, Cable thinks we are about to break out baby!!!!
October 4th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Yeh, Dakota, I forgot. Cable can “see it”. We’re just blind, I guess.
Dayum, dude. Niners are looking good. Just saying.

________________________
Oh man, you are right Jerry! I mean, what ever would we do if we didn’t have Cable providing us with no organization as HC, no TDs as OC, no holes as o-line coach!!! Where would we be then?
lmao
yeah, that would be a terrible loss.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
408, Ignore Einstein. He’s talking about Russell’s race to prevent a conversation about Al Davis. Not happening. I’m talking about Al till the blog shuts down.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
MR
you know I love AL but Its his fault this team sucks… agreed… Oh and Jerry keeps hatin on his lil twitter page thingy
October 4th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Man, the Lakers don’t play a pre-season game until Wednesday!
Bummer.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Jerry, I think Rusty Hilger may have been worse!
What to do? So far, Gannon’s had the only realistic solution: blow up the building (presumably with Al, John, and Amy in it) and start over.
Anybody have a better idea? Who thinks next year’s draft or free agent signings will make a difference? Anyone?
October 4th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Cable’s just collecting his money.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Niners are unreal. Willis just picked it off and took it to the house. 21-0.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
The blame for the past 6 1/2 pathetic seasons lies squarely at the feet of Al. He needs to do the honorable thing and move away from the team.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Ohio,
Amy wanted Belechik …
And I doubt she’s coached before, so let the women and children live man!
October 4th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
At least Michigan lost this weekend.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Jhill, I agree…save Amy, down with the resat of them!
October 4th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Kiffin haters:
We had a coach here who wanted to win even if it meant clashing with Al. We replace him with a coach who’s just collecting a check until his next assistant gig. We’re so much better off now, aren’t we?

the o-line sucks!2 rookies wr,and a qb that is 12 for 33 and that`s his best game.that why mcfadden,bush and fargas can`t run.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
MR,
Let’s not get carried away here. The 9rs are playing the Lambs.
The one comparison I will make is how Singletary, a defensive stud, has his defense playing well, but Cable, an offensive line stud, has the worse Oline in the league.
That’s crazy!
October 4th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Kiffin haters:
One question,
are we better off now than we were with Kiffin?
October 4th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
F lance… he didn’t wanna be here.. I dont blame him but f him all the same
October 4th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
Yep, we are 24-76 in the last 100 games because of the NFL and the officials. Al Davis’ GM skills and his inept coaching staff have nothing to do with that W-L record lol.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
You can talk all you like about the running game, the OL, the playing calling but they are all handicapped by one thing: Russell.
Houston was putting as many as nine guys in the box because they knew there was no way in hell we were going to have a passing game.
Russell was 7 of 18 at the end of the half and by then it was over.
As Bill Cowher said at half time: “at some point you’ve got to put someone else in”.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
The Baseball Commissioner made Marge Schott sell the Reds for being a racist, using his broad ‘for the good of the league’ clause. Why can’t Goodell come in and either remove Al and force him to sell to someone the league wants? The league is so much better when the Raiders are a good team. I can’t believe the League simply turns a blind eye at the ineptness of Al Davis.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Raider fans won’t have to suffer many more years.it is obvious the NFL is dealing with Davis in its own way.make sure the Raiders lose most games,as if they need the terrible officials help,force the team to draft in the top ten every year so eventually Davis can’t afford to pay the salaries,force the team into bankruptcy and then take it over,and then move it back to la-la land with a league approved owner.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
MR
He was interviewing 4 college jobs while he had a job in the NFL.. Thats how I know.. Kinda faded so its whatever bro..
October 4th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Why aren’t we putting someone else in?
This is crazy. To keep playing this guy when he obviously can’t cut it is crazy.
Play someone else Al. Mediocore would be an improvement.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
We have to do what San Diego did with Ryan Leaf.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
408, what do you mean Kiffin didn’t want to be here? How do you know that?
October 4th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
Einstein,
You are obviously a dipsh!t. You don’t know anything. Go F yourself.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
It doesn’t matter if Al fires Cable tonight, next week, next season or whenever. It doesn’t matter because who the hell else will coach this team besides a third-rate also ran? Look at the names we could legitimately get: Jim Fassel, Herm Edwards, Dennis Green. Are you kidding me? Who among that group could do any better than Cable? Those guys are all weak-spined coaches who just want to have a job and would just be another “yes man” to Davis like Cable is.
The REAL coaches who are available–Holmgren, Cowher, Bilick, Gruden–wouldn’t come within a hundred miles of this franchise. They’re good coaches because they refuse to be puppets and that’s not what Big Al wants.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
EnglandRaider, we’re keeping Russell in because as soon as we pull him, Kiffin’s laughing his arse off.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
No way Gruden comes back. Al hated the fact that Gruden got all the credit when they were actually a good team. Can you imagine how Al would fume if Gruden brought the team back to respectability?
October 4th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
EnglandRaider, don’t you get it? Davis only drafted Russell because Kiffin didn’t want him. They were already clashing, at that point. As soon as Russell is pulled from the lineup, Kiffin wins. That’s why Al will never pull him. Russell’s here for the long haul and Al is never giving up on him. You’re on the internet. You do know how to use Google, right? Search Kiffin/Davis.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
MaddenRaider
Kiffin?……Kiffin? are you serious? Your not a great coach just because you fight with your arch nemesis. He wanted Brady Quinn, how is he working out?? Plus his QB over at Tenn. leads the SEC in INTS. Yeah he’s an offensive Guru. Get a clue. Oh and Al Davis says that no matter what he will never give you the $$ you feel you earned when you were coaching at Oakland.
RealMaddenRaider aka ShannaRat.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
You guys blaming Russell for this loss can keep on kidding yourselves. NINE dropped passes. A few more that were intentionally thrown away because the line collapsed. The defense got gashed left and right in the first half. Special Teams gave up a free-kick punt for a TD.
The line was by far the biggest problem today. Sit back and play ___fill in the blank___ BSPN analyst who didn’t even watch the game and only looks at the stats all you want, but JaMarcus played well today. Everything else around him — except the 2nd half D — was garbage.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
There’s only one person that might be able to turn this around while Al is still in control – JOHN Gruden.
BRING BACK GRUDEN NOW!!
Don’t wait. The handwriting is on the wall. It’s the same as it’s been for the last 6 years. It says LOSER!!!
Gruden knows what it will take to win here. He knows how to deal with AD. He won’t put up with JA’s lack of effort. He’ll either play as he should or it’s back to MickyD’s. CABLE is not a HC and never will be.

GREAT ANALYSIS Lefty12 I agree 100% Now we should do our part,RAIDERNATION if you financially support the Raiders,you are only hurting the team and approving a sub-par product,if,on the other hand,you withold your support,you will be holding the team to a higher standard,a standard worthy of RAIDERNATION,make AL earn the respect,it’s a two-way street. BOYCOTT THE RAIDERS-IT’S FOR THEIR OWN GOOD!!!
October 4th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Raiders 21 Giants 20
Breakout game!
October 4th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
That’s what I get for betting on the Raiders. Never, NEVER, will I do that again. BTW, we might be 20 point underdogs next week if Eli plays.
Darren McFadden flat out sucks. Dime a dozen NFL RB, the first guy to touch him tackled him the last two weeks. I would trade “D-Mac” for Ryan Moats (the Texans backup) in a minute.
Tough to make the case that Fargas isn’t our best back, but the lesser of 3 evils is still evil.
Jamarcus looked pretty damn good the first half, especially considering the many drops and awful protection.
Can we stop throwing passes to Lawton please? Complete waste of a play.
What until you guys see the TD they gave a WR for the Jaguars today. Didn’t have possession of the ball half as long as Murphy did opening night.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Russell hasn’t been benched because Gradkowski and Frye are not better than he is.
DHB has not been benched because Chaz and JLH are hurt, and Watkins is not better than he is.
Murphy hasn’t been benched because Chaz and JLH are hurt and Watkins is not better than he is.
Green got benched for Pears today, but Pears is not better than Green is. (Wow! How about that?!?!)
Pears got benched at LG today for Morris who was a disaster at C.
Satele came in for Morris at C after being the worse Olineman we had all preseason.
Morrison hasn’t been benched because we saw how awful Ricky Brown was in the preseason.
Ricky Brown hasn’t been benched because Jon Alston is much worse.
Stan Routt hasn’t been benched becasue Bowie just went on IR and Miller isn’t ready yet.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
The issue is nothing will happen with the Raiders until they have an actual FOOTBALL PERSON RUNNING THE ORGANIZATION.
Doesn’t Mark Davis have any influence with his Father? He is to blame as well!!!!
The Raiders have to change before the draft in 2010.
It is sad to be the father of a new Raider fan that knows nothing but losing, real sad.
Russell has turned into Akli Smith

————————
Actually Fassel has an NFL Coach of the Year award on his resume, the development of several great QBs, a winning career NFL record and a Super Bowl appearance (separate season from the Coach of the Year one) on his resume.
Cable has something like a 4-20 record at the University of Idaho on his head coaching resume.

9rs LBs
Manny Lawson – Patrick Willis – Takeo Spikes
Like I said …
1st rd – LB

October 4th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Jim Fassel is 10 times the coach Cable could even dream of being.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
Chris of New York.
Of course it isn’t just Russell but he is a BIG part of it.
Houston was putting up to NINE guys in the box and THAT was because they knew there would be no passing game.
Apart from every derogatory thing we can say about Russell’s passing game he JUST CAN’T general a game.
On any other team Russell would be sitting on the bench.
Someone else should play who can do better than 7 of 18 in a half.
Plunkett’s at every game-play him, he can’t possibly do any worse that our own Ryan Leaf.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
DT42, how do you know Kiffin wanted Brady Quinn? Kiffin clashed with Al by virtue of doing the things that had to be done to win, and that Al didn’t like. That’s what I meant. Cable doesn’t care. He’s collecting his paycheck. Divorced with kids. All he cares about is not getting fired. He just has to show up and give lip service, and that’s all he’s doing. He knows he’s an assistant. He’s just collecting money he never would have gotten elsewhere, and when that cash cow stops giving milk, it’s back to the o line sled. Cable has no interest in how well the Raiders do. Making the Raiders better was Kiffin’s top priority, until Al ran him out.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
One thing I will give JR credit for is he at least acted like he got it today. He was visibly pissed when the WRs were dropping balls.
They had a good shot of him of the sideline glaring and them tossing his gatorade cup.
He was getting plastered out there today. Took a lot of big hits and kept on ticking!
That was a plus!
October 4th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Fassel won those titles 10 years ago or more. He’s been turned down for jobs by both the Redskins and Rams since then….not to mention his best friend (Brian Bilick) was forced to throw him out on his ass when he did such a bad job calling plays for the Ravens.
Fassel would be another coaching disaster.

October 4th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
No matter how many times you say there were 9 guys in the box, it still doesn’t make it true.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Anyone who thinks this is a coaching problem is delusional.
Barnes,Carlisle,Green,Pears can not play at the NFL level. I am not sure about Morris.
Warren is a joke. Ellis is OK but at 33 does not have that much left.
NFL teams simply do not release productive players.
All of the names I mentioned are cast offs.
The problem is real obvious.
We must build our lines through the draft in order to win football games.JR DMac and DHB are useless without a line.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
I have been a proponent of our O-line this year, but bring on with the “I told you so’s”.
They were pathetic today. D-line was OK, Kelly and Warren played well, but our LB’s stink. Howard likes celebrating worthless tackles. CJ didn’t show up until the 2nd quarter.
October 4th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
The Raiders will suck until we start drafting offensive tackles in the first round, instead of the guy with the best 40 time.

October 4th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
yes,meant Barnes.on the bright side,Morris looked better at RG than Pears.
October 4th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
we can change the coach qb, oline, dline rb’s Lb’s etc
wont make a diffrence because of the ORGANIZATION …
October 4th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
Thec,
I took the under in the Bucs game, but they were both winners. Should have taken the Bears instead of the Raiders. STUPID STUPID move.
If Eli plays next week, I am calling us as 19 point underdogs.

Thanks for clarifying the Green replacement for me. Sad to say that there was a noticeable drop off at the position once pears came in.
October 4th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
7 straight years of 10+ losses…

No other NFL GM has ever had that bad of a streak. You are so bad you are setting records.

I am starting a motion to picket in front of the Harbor Bay offices one day this week. I need at least 20 volunteers. Heck lets take shifts and get guys out there on their off days. I will contact the media. Long lunch? leave work at 3pm? Lets get this thing going. who’s with me? If I get enough responses I will post a way to contact me so we can organize this thing. lETS TAKE BACK OUR RAIDERS!
October 4th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
If there is anything worse than the way the Raiders are playing it has to be the state of this blog.
This is ridiculous.
Posts appear all over the place and sometimes not at all.
Then there’s that stupid message you get when you know perfectly well you’re not posting too fast.
Then there’s the clock which is in a time zone all of its own.
JERRY YOUR BLOG SUCKS!
Mr I answered you. It just didn’t appear because the moderator didn’t feel like it.
I agree with you that Russell is playing because of Al but I don’t don’t give a rat’s arse about Kiffin.
October 4th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
I did tell you so.
As I recall we could have had Monroe and Brace in the first two rounds last year.
We still could have had Murphy in round four.
Our line play on both sides of the ball needs help.
The addition of Seymour makes the Oline the top priority.
The Oline is the most important unit on a team.

So much for parity in the NFL. The Browns, the Bucs and the Rams could all legit go 0-16 this year. Kansas City could be 1-15. As awful as the Raiders are, I’m predicting a 3-13 finish and a coin flip with the 3-13 Lions to see who drafts fifth or sixth. That’s right a 3-13 team could draft outside of the top 5. The bad are TRULY AWFUL in the NFL.
I think even this joke of team we’re stuck with now can beat the Browns and the Chiefs again.
Wouldn’t that be our luck? Finish 3-13….just one win more than our disastrous 2006 season…and still end up picking 6th.
October 4th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
Bugel, White, Callahan, Turner, Shell…….Cable….No GM = the worst organization in professional sports.
What other team could the Texans beat 29-6 ?
October 4th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Broncs will win afc west. niners will win nfc west… we will win four games if we are lucky. this is on Al.

Lefty:
Your’re right about the loss of Gallery.
We also miss the center we had last year. We should have picked Mack.
On the other hand Russell wasn’t playing that well when Gallery was active.

Fassel won those titles 10 years ago or more. He’s been turned down for jobs by both the Redskins and Rams since then….not to mention his best friend (Brian Bilick) was forced to throw him out on his ass when he did such a bad job calling plays for the Ravens.
Fassel would be another coaching disaster.
————————-
Billick fired “his friend” Fassel to try to cover his own azz. Billick was gone shortly after. Billick was hired because he was supposed to be an offensive guru. The only reason he ever had any success in Baltimore was because of Ray Lewis and the defense. Fassel had no time and only Kyle Boller to work with.
He actually went to the Super Bowl in this decade.

this is a horrible product the organization trots out every season. It will not chnage until the org changes. Move the office out of alameda to emeryville, berk, or concord.

Watching the Broncos play INSPIRED football makes the situation here all the worst!
How is it…that a team with a horrible defense last year…losing its franchise QB can go out and play with class, heart and commitment!
Because Pat Bowlen doesn’t hold his franchise back. He lets his coaches/GM run their team the way they see it!
Meanwhile, we are now the worst team in the NFL and have regressed back to 2006.
I am soooooo sick of this shi…….

Tony Romo looks a lot like Jamarcus Russell today.
Denver’s defense is about to take the Donkeys to 4-0.
October 4th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
JHill says Russell hasn’t been benched because Gradowski and Frye are worse.
How could they possibly be worse?
The man has an arm but he can’t see the field and he can’t general a game.
If all he has is an arm then he should take up coal mining.
Me and my Golden hate Vick but I actually wished for the trade in this the fourth abysmal offensive game.
Of course Grandowski and Frye are not that great. That’s why they’re back-ups.
However, Russell is only playing because Al wants him to and it has nothing to do with either one of them.
October 4th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
DHB on the reverse was a good call. Easy 20 yards.. he’s fast as advertised… murphy is better than DHB though…

The insanity of benching J Walker in favor of DHB is deplorable you moron. Benching DMAC for Fargas while letting JaMeatloaf rack up 3 and outs is disgraceful.
Marshall is a huge upgrade over RR but we will not see the fruits of that anytime soon.

MR
Kiffin’s priority was to use Oakland as a springboard to another job. Before Al took a chance on him he was a nobody WR coach at USC. Sark called all of the plays. He was smart, he made a name for himself by bashing the Raiders AND Al Davis. Doesn’t make him a good coach. He has no excuses now and he is a complete failure. He has a multi million $$ coaching staff, a boss that doesn’t get in his way and one of the best defensive coaches to come around in the last 25 years. And he still stinks. Oh and one of the hold overs of the Kiffin coaching staff is the Raider WR coach Sanjai Lal. How is that working out for us?

Cmon Mista,
You can give a rest for at least one week, can’t you? What, was JRuss throwing the ball too hard today? Maybe he should’ve forced a few more instead of throwing those balls away? I know, stand in there young man in the face of the rush and deliver it anyway?
When JRuss plays bad, call it. But when the game was clearly on the Oline, like it was today, you should call that too.
I mean, can you really imagine Gradkowski or Garcia trying to get anything done behind the Oline we saw today? You’ve GOT to be kidding me!
October 4th, 2009 at 4:23 pm

October 4th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
Can any of you JaMarcus bashers point out a single play he really screwed up in this game. I suppose the fumble in the 2nd half when the game was already out of hand. I’ll give you that. Anything else?
– NINE dropped passes.
– Several more incompletions because he had to throw the ball away.
– About 2-3 seconds to get rid of the ball (when he was lucky) before he had 2 or more defenders smashing him in the face.
– Zero interceptions.
Those are the facts.
I understand people want to pin it all on one guy because they can fool themselves into believing a switch at the QB position and all the problems are solved. But it’s not reality.
JaMarcus deserved a lot of the blame for the other 2 losses. He deserves ZERO blame for this loss. If you watched the game and know ANYTHING about football you know that.

October 4th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
Mista,
JaMeatball took all the media heat this week, all the criticism, and actually came out looking like an NFL QB today. If you can’t acknowledge than, then it is what it is man.
JRuss was on the money with his throws today, but the WRs were clearly dropping the ball. I shouldn’t even have to argue that with you today. The Oline was in the backfield on EVERY running play. Every single one, man. The 3rd downs that JRuss didn’t convert were ALL 3rd and 10 or better it seemed like.
JRuss was prepared today, on time and accurate with his throws, but drops, penalties, and bad oline play had us out of the game before it even got started.

October 4th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
EnglandRaider,
MR is right about Kiffin! It takes a coach willing to try and do his own thing to have ANY success here in Oakland.
This team is as bad as it was in 2006. Kiffin fell out with the Owner after said Owner would not let Kiffin manage his coaching staff or have the type of input into the roster.
That said…its not about Kiffin or Cable.
Its about the worst person in professional sports running the Raiders like a fantasy football team!
October 4th, 2009 at 4:33 pm

I was willing to give Tom Cable the benefit of the doubt, but he’s got to start figuring out a way to win some games. Two blowout losses followed by a win that KC gave to us and another loss that the defense choked away.
Should’ve hired Jim Fassel. He’s proven he can win in the NFL and he wanted the job.
Maybe if Cable gets sent to Folsom Fassel will finally get the call. O-line is Cable’s specialty and this o-line had looked mediocre at best since the first half of the first game … until today, when it looked like one of the worst o-lines in the NFL.
Starting two rookie receivers is another recipe for failure. Not sure who, if anyone, deserves the blame for this since there aren’t many better options. But no team in the NFL starts two rookie WRs. Totally unheard of. Totally screwing up JaMarcus.
October 4th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Jhill, the team has clearly mailed it in 4 weeks into the season.
Question is, why?
I think alot of players realized week 1 against SD that JaMeatball is a loser and some quit right then & there. They dominated SD and because of JaMeatloaf had nothing to show for it….the end
Cable not playing J Walker sends a message to all 53 guys.

You don’t think the team appreciated the TD drive that put them up 7-0 in the 1st qtr?
You don’t think the players appreciated that TD drive that JRuss put together at the half to put the team ahead?
You don’t think the team appreciated the 2 4th qtr scoring drives, including a go ahead TD with 2 minutes to go?
Stuff like that just makes it seem like you are rooting against JRuss no matter what he does.
October 4th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Fossill likely wouldn’t do what AL tells him to do so therefore AL scratched Fassel off the list right quick.
Do you think Fassel would agree to sit a healthy J Walker in favor of DH friggin B ? What kinda message does that send to JaMeatloaf to take the field with Watkins & DHB ?

My team doesn’t prepare, try or have the will to be great. The Owner is busy reliving his past and teh coach is collecting a check.
I am still a fan of the Raiders and spend a ton of money (for me) each year going to 2 or 3 road games a year.,

This ship continues to sink to new levels. To be honest, this is a blessing. I hate to say it, but I hope we continue this lifeless brand of football. Al Davis is not the same great mind he was. We are putting a 1969 camaro up against a 2009 camaro. It just isnt the same.
Play calling is so predictable and not playing javon walker is ludacris. Al Davis is an idiot. Kiffin had it right about Russell. Al will leave Russell in to try and prove his mute point. I mean is there a worst ran franchise in Football?
I understand losing and rebuilding is part of the game, but what we are doing is a fans worst nightmare. I will go to the remaining games because i paid for my tickets, but am not spending another dime on raider anything until Al sees his senile antics are to blame.
Kiffin may not have been the messiah, but he knew what needed to be done.

You can not compete with a pathetic Oline.
It is the heart of the football team and we have not built it through the draft.
Pears,Carlisle,Green,Barnes??????????
NFL teams just do not release productive players.
We will look passable when Gallery comes back and we face a Dline hit by injuries or a team that has overlooked us (not hard to see how that might happen).
That gives the illusion that we have a scheme problem.
We have a LACK OF TALENT especially on the oline.
I assure you, if we face a good well prepared defense we will get crushed.

It was said last year when Cable got the job that he is a Raider Fan and loves and understand what it means to be a Raider.
That last sentence should be the first sentence shown on the overhead projector. While Al is reading the resignation letter he can point out Cable’s loyalty and dedication to getting this thing fixed by someone else.
October 4th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
News flash fellas!!! Tom Cable says don’t worry we wwill stay the course we are gonna have a breakthrough soon………….Cable get you own head out of the toosh budy, you play calling is horrible and your STUPID ASS CONTINUE TO PLAY ROOKIES WHO ONLY DROPS PASSES. YET YOU KEEP YOU PROVEN VET ON THE DAMN BENCH!!!!!!!!! Sorry guys I am totally out! In all my years of absolutely loving this team you got jackasses who makes the dumbest decisions including MR DAVIS, only to run this team in the ground. Instead OF TRYING TO BAN THE MAN THAT WAS THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO THIS ORGANIZATION IN A LOOONG TIME, RICH GANNON WHY DON’T YOU ALL USE YOU ENERGY TO GIVE US WHAT WE PAY OUR HARD DAMN EARNED MONEY FOR…..A WINNING TEAM..ALL THE PETTY BS US FANS DEAL WITH EVERY YEAR ON TOP OF A SUCK ASS TEAM THAT A D1 COLLEGE TEAM COULD BEAT WE WILL NOT TAKE IT ANY MORE DAVIS !!!!!!! And crew you ALL NEED TO GO!!!!!
October 4th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
our o line lost the game today
the running backs had no holes and defenders all over them.
but JaPoatRoast still looked bad
but cable looked worse CABLE IS A HORRIBLE PLAY CALLER AND GAME MANAGER!!!!!!!!!!!!! cable gets outcoached every week C’MON NAPA POLICE WHERE ARE YOU !!!!!!!!!!
nat that it would of made a difference but murphy caught that ball ( he needs to learn the ref’s are never going to guve him a call when he is dressed in silver and black.
October 4th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
Mistabrown,
I expect you to have a good time with this. You didn’t think much of this team from the start. I thought we had a chance. I am deeply disappointed because the team is regressing back to 2006 or worse.
It will never get better until the Owner either changes his ways or steps aside, or the league intervenes.
WHERE’S THE COMMISSIONER?
October 4th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
How did the phenom Sanchez do today? Three picks.
Shut up about skill position busts and coaching changes.
Build the lines through the draft.
Our problem has never been more obvious.
October 4th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
Charlie,
Building through the lines are fundamental. But the Owner believes otherwise. And you can be rest assured that when we draft in the top 5….Taylor Mays, Eric Berry and some running back will be at the top of the list
THe Owner is out of control and has ruined this franchise in a way that might not be fixable.

It was our OL?
McFadden/Bush/Fargas can’t run?
Every team we’ve played is stacking the box.
Houston had NINE EFFING guys in the box.
The whole NFL knows we have NO passing game.
Sure we’re running two rookies and I said that was a mistake before the first game but the big problem is Russell. He has an arm but shows no ability to general a game.
Houston put nine guys up there because of Russell.
Every team we play is going to do the same thing until Al sits Russell down.
As Bill Cowher said at half time: “At some point you’ve got to play someone else”.
And then he laughed.

Gallery is the glue of the O line, and is badly missed.
I wouldn’t say Russell stunk it up today, but was below average at best.
Defense looks dominating for 3-6 plays, then will give up a big play or three..
Penalties, penalties, penalties….Yeah, Murphy got jobbed on that sideline catch. But those two false starts in a row, snuffed a drive that could have had us in the game early.
Play calling, or lack there of. We can NOT get in any type of rhythm with the play calling and personel rotation that’s being used now..
That’s after seeing 3 1/2 quarters.. Couldn’t stand to watch any more…
Giants -22
October 4th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
England
Everything on offense starts with the Oline.
On top of that we have the most inexperienced set of skill psotion starters in the NFL.
Carlisle, Green, Pears, Barnes etc and you think we are going to pass?
Collins and Moss did not do well in Oakalnd because of a poor Oline.
The problem has never been more obvious and continiues to this day.

THE O-LINE LOOKED BAD TODAY BUT HOUSTON BROUGHT THE HOUSE!! NINE IN THE BOX!! TOO MANY GUYS TO BLOCK THEY WERE NOT SCARED OF THE PASSING GAME.

Cable has a huge EGO. There is no way he should be the OC, O-Line, play caller and Head Coach. How in the world does he figure he can do all of that especially with that resume’ of his?
I’m just a cat from the South but I gotta think that the players are thinking the same thing.
October 4th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
I’ve read some bashing and supporters of Russell. I’m kind of mixed right now on him but I will say this:
How much focus does a guy have when he plays with a rock in his ear the size of the one Kobe got his wife when he got home from Vail?
At one point during the game I was thinking this MFer is sucking on purpose because he knows the cameras will follow him on the sidelines for all to see that bling in his ear. The public can’t see it during long drives. Why so many three-and-outs?
October 4th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
EnglandRaider,
19 of the Raiders 22 1st and 2nd round picks since 1999 have all busted out with Oakland. The only three that did anything of note:
Asomugha, Janikowski, Howard
One of the 3 is a kicker.
I do not believe that after wasting 19 highly regarded college prospects that one can blame the player.
There is something very wrong with the organization that Al Davis runs.
Blaming the QB, Coach, RB or anyone is a waste of time.
Al Davis is to blame for all of it. Anything less deflects from the problem at hand.
The league needs to step in and insist on structural changes. But it won’t so we just have to endure

“I’ve talked to several players, and not one of them has any issue with anything I’ve ever said or done in reference to their team,” Gannon, a quarterback-turned-TV analyst, told the Los Angeles Times recently. “But there’s certainly someone who’s not happy. But I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t say that the product on the field has not been up to snuff the last six years or so.”

Russell was 7 of 18 at the half.
Russell was finally 12 of 33.
He can’t general a game. He’s not Plunkett, Snake or Gannon.
All he has is an arm.
He should take up caber tossing.
While he’s at it, he should throw ‘em at Kiffin.
October 4th, 2009 at 5:13 pm
Bath Water,
Cable’s just reading the script. He’s making sure he doesn’t give Al cause to fire him w/o pay. That’s all he cares about. All he has to do is everything Al tells him to do, and he’s getting paid.
Those of you calling for JaMarcus to be benched….Al will never bench him because if he does, Kiffin wins out.
October 4th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
“The Raiders were unable to make much happen against a Texans team that entered the game last in the league against the run and last in overall defense through three games.”

MR:
Give us a break with this Kiffin stuff.
The guy was a jerk from the beginning who put himself first and the team and the fans last.
……
That’s not what I saw. I saw Kiffin putting the team first until early ‘08, when it was obvious Davis was running him out. In fact, everyone saw it that way, except for Davis loyalists and other Raider fans too stupid to read.
October 4th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
Also, EnglandRaider, I really don’t think Gruden would come back here. It’s likely the Dallas job opens up after this year.
October 4th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Yes it does Charlie.
What does an OL do when the defense knows that it put NINE EFFING guys in the box because the QB has no game?
October 4th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Kiffin had balls to stand up to the old goose in the box. Davis is to blame for this downward spiral.
October 4th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
This team has regressed from awful with a glimmer of hope to awful and hopeless.
October 4th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
What is frustrating and has brought me to this point where I’ve just about given up is that the team shows no progress. No Progress! This entire 6.25 year stretch…the only progress was a couple of wins at the end of last year.
All that was scrapped because Tom Cable is so utterly incompetent. He scrapped the playbook and allowed DAvis to rewrite the Bed and Breakfast.
Again, WHAT THE HELL DO THEY DO IN PRACTICE?
I envy many of you. You are just happy to watch the Silver and Black play regardless of outcome.
Unfortunately, I can’t stand quitters! And this RAider team(s) are a bunch of rank quitters! From the Owner, to the coaches (all of them) to the players (all of them)
They are not deserving of support of any kind because they disrespect you (the fan) by not even f’n being prepared.
THIS IS THE WORST FOOTBALL TEAM IN NFL HISTORY OVER THE LAST 6 yrs.
Congrats to those of you that can happily put up with this utter B.S

October 4th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
I suppose everyone wants Al to hire Jim Harbaugh next?
October 4th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
I’ve loyally followed the Raiders since 1971, the last era I consider the Raiders were a consistent, year in, year out good (and several times great) team was 1985, the Raiders I remember ended after that.
Since that time they have had 11 coaches and 12 QB’s (that’s an avg. of a new coach or QB every 2 years), their record is 167 and 200. Subtract the Gruden years and they are 129 and 174.
Until Davis dies or turns over close to total control to someone else, this team will continue to field some talent, but not a cohesive, competitive, modern, disciplined, tough football team.
Until the Raiders field that type of team again i.e, the Gruden years, I will passively follow them, but will not watch this garbage product anymore, I’ve had it.
October 4th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
Al is a demented old fool and can’t be expected to compete in the NFL.
The entire league knows this. They try to exert pressure on the Davis family to have the man committed, but to no avail.
Soon the franchise will be worthless.
This whole scenario reminds me of a modern rendition of a Shakespeare play.
Sit back and enjoy the drama.
October 4th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
The dumbest team in America continues to shine. Al please just go away already.Please…Seriously.

I give Russell this the recievers dropped passes all day but they were not exactly easy catches but catches you expect an NFL reciever to make. The problem is his timing is off he throws passes when the reciever has been open not when he is getting open. Cable as a play caller horrible….Defense played descent..
October 4th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
SPECIAL ALERT…………SPECIAL ALERT………..
2010 NFL DRAFT:
With the first pick of the NFL draft, Al Davis, “mr commitment to excellence” has taken the “fastest Cornerback” and has pasted up the the “defensive beast” who all experts agree…”should have been the first pick of the draft. Of course, we know that with Al Davis it’s all about the speed and not the ability of the player to perform at his position.
Looks like Al Davis is working toward TEN-YEARS of being the worst team in NFL history. Nice going Al.
October 4th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
People,
This organization is rotten to the core. Has been for years. Nothing will change untill the there is REAL CHANGE. Anyone with half a brain saw this coming from a mile away. This team dznt have an NFL QB, an NFL head coach, or an NFL GM. Period. All that adds up to one thing…… L’s and lots of them. The only thing I must ask is this: Why are any of you surprised??

Terry Bradshaw on the TV program (OT) on Fox Sports, just stated that the Raiders are the worst team in football, as he said it, all the other commentators laughed along with him. Even Howie Long smiled and chuckled at the comment.
CAN’T ARGUE ABOUT THE TRUTH…IT ALL COMES DOWN TO AL DAVIS.
Cable needs to go back to Iowa and Al Davis needs to sell the team or put it in total control of others. His control and influence has lead us to seven (7) years of sucking. Big time sucking at it’s worst.
October 4th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
Pears played right tackle late in the 3rd thru the rest of the game.
http://www.raidernationstation.com/2009_regular_season
Not that it matters but the refs were words I can no longer allude to on here…
Satele palyed center and Morris slid to right guard.
Still sugged.
Who cares?
Oaklands a joke and I’m sick of the losing.
Dead serious about exactly who garcia’s talking about. Wh are the slackers NAME THEM so us fans can torment Davis into ditching them.
I HATE CHECK COLLECTORS!!!
Its Davis’s fault for letting these f’in bums ride. either he’s not involved enough to know better or doesn’t care that we have coasters.
Sick of it.

But the wheels started coming off the wagon in training camp. DHB was dropping balls, Mitchell was hobbled with a hamstring, Schilens got hurt and the run defense exposed….not too mention the weight problems of the QB and the chaos with the coaches/owner.

October 4th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
Please be serious guys. It is time for all of us to realize things for what they truly are . This organization cant win and will never win. Al won’t give it up so we are gonna have to wait another ten years or so. Al Davis was a great football guy who had great success. But those days are gone. It is similar to great music artists who had a long track record of success whose current product is completely garbage
Al needs to take his old ass somewhere and call it a day. I love Al Davis and will be at his funeral or whatever but dammit this has got to stop. The outdated offensive and defensive schemes are not conducive to winning football in 2009. Football players are not valued in Oakland just ass kissers and great 40 time guys.
I’m so damn pissed to see this. Yes the season is lost and yes the team mailed it in after the SD game. Lane Kiffin is a still a loser IMO but he was right that Russell is a POS. Lazy punk who doesnt want to win. You can’t turn it on when you feel like it and expect to win. He finally is figuring out how to be a leader? Bullsh_t! You either have it or you dont and the guy dont have it.
You people who continually make excuses for him are part of the problem. The guy is passing 43 for 108 on the season with 1 luck ass TD and 4 picks. Are you nuts? He played well? When? He is the leader of the team so when the offense stinks he is main culprit.
I won’t bail on my team but they stink and will stay stinking until an old man takes the dirt nap.
October 4th, 2009 at 5:46 pm

October 4th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
S’happenin Nation, 1st post! But long time follower!
Compelled to post cuz I’m so friggin sick of this crap, an offensive system that 80% of college teams would laugh!! But we need it because or QB is so unintelligent, doesn’t do his homework and basically does not have a football IQ. Or is it cuz Cable really has no idea outside of power right or power left(always to strong side). QB can’t make the pre-read, cant make the quick decision, can’t even speak proper or structured english. God the J.E.T.S landed a gem, seen Sanchize in an interview? Makes me sick too watch #2, but is #2 really that dumb?this theft on the Raiders would make Bernie Madoff proud, and I think DHB, DMC, Seymour, and (without even trying) Javon Walker are all in on the take too!!
I regretfully watched the Raiders for the 4th time this year, (as I slide the gun barrel out of my mouth to take a drink or ethenol) and I wonder how? In the first game they ran, at will for chunks, but vacated for the pass as dormant as it was. And the same would continue through every preceeding game. But what really pisses me off, they continue to offer playaction plays, WHY? Nobody is fooled, You can’t run all of a sudden. So nobody cares if you fake a run, you would have only gained a yard on anyway. The offense is sooo bad, Nobody can catch, the O-line(Cables baby) is awful to say the least, money for Satele and Barnes….to sit the bench!?! Qb can’t complete a simple screen pass to RB in stride. UGHH.
Then there’s the D, and I can’t say there’s a weekness as far as players go, just coaching scheme. I once heard of Al Davis as a rotary phone in a cell era, and I think that is true of John Marshalls elementary efforts. Man up, no disguise and watch the more clever coordinators laugh us back to the locker room. But honestly they play decent enough 3 outta 4 games to win. So back to the O the blame goes. But I would like to see some pressure, some better coverage schemes, and Routt off the team, what ever happened to McCallister? Not to say he’s the answer but would help.
I’m just soo close to letting go of this team after 20 years!! All that there were some good times, lastly 6 years ago, but this is utter defecation in the face of fans and the league and it is repulsive!! Soon Mt. Davis will be empty, the Black Hole will be empty and davis will sell off more of the franchise until it is all but gone!! Forcing me to choose a new team. (already working subliminally on that!!) I mean at the end of the game, Russell is sitting there, on the bench cracking a smile, not even phased that they just lost another, maybe he’s as ignorant to think “oh we’ll break out soon” just not today. Well, looking down the road, Raiders will not be breaking out until they face chiefs for their 2nd win. BOOOOO!
Also quit lying to us about practice, “good tempo” says cable, “good practice” Boo! You guys got owned the second you stepped off the plane. Get in some real practice, you start on Wed, travel on Friday, no wonder you can’t tackle, or execute on either side of ball.
So it was asked in the aricle to offer suggestions:
1st: General Manager, let it go Al davis
2nd: trade pics for better value, less money look @ Raiders track record in rounds 1-3 Vs. Patriots 3-7(Thanks for fuelling that too in 2011 Pats will get three to 4 pics, we got seymour BOOOOO!!
3rd: Future Raiders Coaches should include: Chris Pederson Boise St. Jim Harbaugh Stanford or of course Bill Cowler, Jon Gruden hell as much as I hate to say it but I’d even happily take Shannahan back. But non of them would even consider coaching for Al davis, Why should they, he is only “Commited to Mediocrity”.
4th: QB Jake Locker Washington
QB Brady Quinn, or D. Anderson
QB Tony Pike Cincy
5th: Worst case scenario, AL DAVIS JUST CROAK BABY!!
So in short I can get back to drinking now that I have that off my chest, and I can assure you I’ll be back to rant some more!! Die Raiders, Die!!
October 4th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
Russell will be at Art’s Crab Shack tonight like he was last week not giving a damn about another pitiful performance for an NFL QB.

Agreed! Vick has the improvisation skills to crank start this antique offense. May not be all that accurate, but at least his threat to run will keep a LB occupied and he has a strong enough arm to get the ball downfield. Plus he loves tight ends….Miller is better than Alge Crumpler.
As long as we run an offense so fatally flawed…get a QB that can play by drawing up plays in the sand! Only a guy like Vick can overcome the Cable/Davis incompetence
Morrison and Howard…I could care less what they do with them.

I supported Russell for a long time but enough is enough. He needs to sit for awhile.

A woman is shopping in the supermarket. She buys some milk, some eggs, a carton of juice, and some bacon.
As she unloads her items at the cash register, a drunk standing behind her in the line watches her unload the items and then says “You must be single”.
The woman looks at her items on the belt and sees nothing at all unusual in in any of them and wonders how he could know.
“That’s right,” she says. “How on earth did you know I’m single?”
Guy says, “Because you’re ugly”.

Russell will be at Art’s Crab Shack tonight like he was last week not giving a damn about another pitiful performance for an NFL QB.
Funny thing is, Russell gets to collects millions for a sub par job but you and I screw up on a job we are damn near fired immediately!
=====================================================
But its good ole Al Davis that allows an atmosphere of failure and laziness to persist. Russell has nothing but losers around him…so he becomes a loser too.
The whole team is a bunch of quitters AND NOT DESERVING OF ANY SUPPORT! From the top / down!

I’m out here in Vegas. As you all know.. we got a UFL team (Locomotives) with Jim Fassel as our head coach and J.P. Losman as QB.
I really believe if the Raiders were to have a game against the Locos, the Locos would win!
October 4th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
As usual, I went to Event’s Sport bar in Riverside, to have my morning breakrfast while I watched the game. There was no one there. There much have been 25 to 30 people at the most and that’s including kids and wifes wearing their Raider shirts. The die-hard loyalist.
Last week there were probably 80 to 100 people. In the past you needed to get there early for a good seat in front of the big giant screen. There could be 150 to 200 people in the place. WALL TO WALL PEOPLE.
ALL GOES TO SHOW THAT OUR PATIENCE IS WEARING THIN.
OBVIOUSLY ALL OF OUR HOME GAMES FOR THE REST OF THIS YEAR WILL ALL BE BLACKED-OUT. DAVIS MIGHT HAVE TO START GIVING TICKETS AWAY JUST TO HAVE A FEW FANS IN THE STANDS.
WHAT A WASTE…BEYOND ANYONE’S IMAGINATION.
AL, YOU NEED TO FALL INTO A LONG COMA, ONE THAT WILL LAST FOR TEN YEARS, OR JUST CHECK OUT AND GO TO THE PROMISE LAST.

This is not about the players, the coach, the schedule, the refs, and what ever excuse you guys want to throw out there….this is about Al Davis this is his culture, his team, his way, period. Do you really think that Cable wants to keep Russell in the game…of course not, he can’t pull him because of AD, period, do you really think he wants to start DHB, of course not, don’t you think he would like to run an attacking defense that blitz’s, of course he would like to but AL says no, he can’t change this pathetic culture, he can’t make roster changes, and of course he has no chance at being a good coach because of AL, this is not Cable’s fault, remember he fired Norv and he is doing pretty good in SD isn’t he, why because of the culture in SD a winning culture a team owner that cares and allows people in the organization to do their jobs, can anyone name the owner of the Chargers?

The commissioner couldn’t do anything even if he wanted to. AD only owns a minority of the team stock. What he does have, which the commissioner has ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER is a iron-clad lock tight lifetime controlling management contract between the corporate Oakland Raiders entity and AD Football, Inc. Believe me when I say, the actual owners of the Raiders would like to get rid of AD if they could but they can’t. It’s their money that AD has been spending. I’m sure they are pissed too but like us, they can’t do a damned thing about it.
October 4th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
Brien,
No, can’t do it. My post is my insignificant way to protest and highlight the real problem.
Someone drafted Russell. Who? Or that bust of a running back McFAdden…or that wide receiver Heyward-Bey…or that safety Huff…or that LT Gallery, or the MLB Harris, or the DBs Washington, Buchanon et al….or that DE Brayton, or tackle Walker, or Gibson or Tui, Stinchcomb and Bryant

Imagine if you bought a jar of peanut butter and you opened it to find it was only half full. You aren’t happy about it but you eat it, nonetheless. Now imagine you buy another jar of the same brand of pb and once again the jar is half full. You continue to buy the same brand for six or seven years and the jar is always only half full. The peanut butter manufacturer is making twice the money for an inferior product and they will not change because a bunch of fools keep buying their inferior product.
Now, imagine you are a raiders fan. As long as people keep rewarding Al Davis for fielding consistently lousy teams, he will continul to repeat the same behaviors. If people stop buying tickets to watch the Raiders get the snot kicked out of them every week, then Al Davis will realize he has to change something or his beloved franchise will go belly-up. I would love to see about 5000 fans at the Raiders home games until they can win at least 2 in a row.

We have just focused on the skill positions first.
I would have focused on the line with our day one picks after getting JR.
Anyway, after this mess we will be using our high picks on Olineman.

Doriangray,
We need Michael Vick. A QB that can improvise on the fly and use his legs to move the chains. Especially behind this duct taped offensive line filled with backup players. A standard QB will fail here like all 20 of them have over the years.
At least Vick would give one a reason to watch

October 4th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
RaiderDuck: Are you kidding? DMAC is the problem? Did you see Fargas getting blasted in the end zone? Did you see Bush and JRussell both lose fumbles. McFadden got 6 total carries, and never did he get consecutive touches. He was met in the backfield three times resulting in no chance to advance. Fargas’ lone 13-yard run came on the last play of the first half when Houston was playing to prevent the long pass. Bush had 3 carries for 10 yards — all of his carries came on delayed draws and his long run of 5 yards came on a 1st and 20 when the Texans were playing to stop the pass. DMAC was never on the field when Oakland started drives with its best field position, which is insane. He’s your starter and clearly the best player you have on offense.
Anyway, nobody for Oakland ran the ball for squat. Even Houston struggled. Take away Slaton’s long TD run of 30-plus yards, and he averaged less than 1.5 yards per carry on 20 attempts. The point is, DMAC needs the ball more to be a game-changer.
Oakland is a complete mess, and it starts with JRussell and the coaching staff on offense. The )-line is less than average, and everybody is now stacking 9 in the box to stop the run. Adrian peterson would have had the same stats as DMAC today on those 6 carries because the defense knew what the Raiders were running and they blew it all up all day long.

My observations of the game…
1. LBs can not cover across the middle of the field.
2. LBs are consistently out of position or miss assignments.
3. This is the most horrible O-line (outside of KC and the Rams maybe) in the NFL
4. THIS TEAM IS VERY BAD! They are slow getting off the ball, RBs don’t trust their blockers, and they play with no urgency.

However, at least we agree that Davis is the problem and that our team is headed for another losing season.
October 4th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
Brien,
My reasons for the anti-South / Big 12 is for different reasons. I don’t think anyone is stupid or anything.
Here is my reasoning:
College football down there is at the same level as the NFL. The coaches get paid uber dollars to win. Not to teach football or develop players. The name of the game is to outrecruit and then “Al Davis” the opponent with superior talent. You know…everyone beat their man….what B.S by the way!
When surrounded by superior talent, you don’t have to worry too much about reading defenses, dealing with pressure from defenses, or playing from behind. and when things get tight….just toss it up to your stud receivers going up against overmatched J.V types.
You only have to play 2 or 3 competitive games. And remember, the coaches are not going to spend time on your game.
SEC/Big12 football is like And-1 Mix Tape to the NBA.
So…say NO to:
Tim “Hotsaurce” Tebow
or Colt McCoy aka Major Applewhite
or Sam Bradford….who stayed in college because he knows what waits him in the pros!
The south takes college football way too seriously!

You must be a Kings fan and you probably go to their games with a “cow-bell.” Typical country hick. Sorry you can’s enjoy the NBA season, but that’s your problem.
Lakers…proven winners with many Championships and a good chance to repeat this year. I love being a Lakers fan and couldn’t care less what you think.
However, at least we agree that Davis is the problem and that our team is headed for another losing season.
******************************
Idiot I dont live in Sac. My team is the Raiders you get it? What city are they from? Where is there home? Thank you now shut up.
Yeah of course you love being a Laker fan. All you bandwagoners love them when they are winning. Of course you love being a Laker fan, you can finally come out of the closet. Of course you love being a Laker fan, you wanna see how ‘Magic’ the Johnson truly is.

Brien,
My reasons for the anti-South / Big 12 is for different reasons. I don’t think anyone is stupid or anything.
Here is my reasoning:
College football down there is at the same level as the NFL. The coaches get paid uber dollars to win. Not to teach football or develop players. The name of the game is to outrecruit and then “Al Davis” the opponent with superior talent. You know…everyone beat their man….what B.S by the way!
When surrounded by superior talent, you don’t have to worry too much about reading defenses, dealing with pressure from defenses, or playing from behind. and when things get tight….just toss it up to your stud receivers going up against overmatched J.V types.
You only have to play 2 or 3 competitive games. And remember, the coaches are not going to spend time on your game.
SEC/Big12 football is like And-1 Mix Tape to the NBA.
So…say NO to:
Tim “Hotsaurce” Tebow
or Colt McCoy aka Major Applewhite
or Sam Bradford….who stayed in college because he knows what waits him in the pros!
The south takes college football way too seriously!
***********************
I agree with your post but yes the guys are stupid down there. Tragically stupid guys.

AD doesn’t own the Raiders. He’s a MINORITY owner. I believe he’s down in the 25% region. Mark is NOT going to inherit anything other than the value of that stock and whatever AD stashed in the bank. The management contract between The Oakland Raiders & AD Football, Inc, a football operational management contract most likely ceases when AD does. Mark Davis will never rule the Raiders. Of course AD is never going to die either so it’s all moot.
We the fans think we are getting screwed. Just think what the real owners of the Raiders are thinking. It’s their money that AD has been so wisely spending. They are in a position worse than investing with Bernie Madeoff. They are REALLY SCREWED!

October 4th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
JB and the rest.
Impossible to judge offensive skill talent w/o an Oline. The Oline dictates scheme, play calling everything.
As I said earlier, Moss and Collins failed here but revived there careers elsewhere when they got Oline support.
We have not had a decent Oline since 2002 and have only invested two first/second round picks on it since 2002. No where near enough focus.
You can get RB’s and WR in the later rounds. You are not getting a Ryan Clady in round six.
A good Oline keeps the D off the field. Until the Oline gets some high picks invested in it we will continue to die.

=======================
Great idea… Just like the billions of ideas we’ve had on this blog and all other Raider Blogs… Point is that the fans are tired of whats happening with our team and Al Davis will not listen to any of us! Al Davis has a different vision for his football team, something that we are forced to agree with i.e. DHB pick. I just wish we had someone in the building that would make better decisions for this team.
Trust me, just like many of us here, I am a season ticket holder in a time were attending football games are a luxury and a gamble when budgeting. Buying into a product for the mere joy of wining. Then it all backfires and Im looking for a refund because I feel that we as fans put a lot at stake here not only financially but emotionally as well. And now I am spent on both aspects.

Mr Davis got Seymour because he was told that our Dline could not compete. We at least are respectable on the Dline. (Warren will be gone next year as will his $5mill a year salary. What a joke).
Without Gallery our Oline can not compete.
We draft Oilne help in 2010. The problem is we need to go through another didaster of a season.
Gallery and Schillens returning will help but Carlisle, Green, Pears and Barnes were all available at no charge for a reason.
Way too many holes which slows the development of JR DHB and Dmac.

Not sure I understand your question. No one in their right mind would want to deal with AD. Unfortunately there are a lot of politicians out there with different agendas who are more than willing to spend money that isn’t theirs. That’s how we got the Raiders back in Oakland. The city and taxpayers took a real screwing on that deal. And, look what we got for it. a team that has no hope with the current team leadership. a team that we used to be proud of, before the exodus to LA, but now the joke of the league.

Totally agree. That and senility set in and there you have it an organization controlled by a 5150.
There’s a merchandising idea. A Silver & Black jersey with Al Davis on the back with the number 5150. That would look great on TV. That WOULD send a message across the network on how we feel. Kind of like the Saint’s Aint’s paper bag hats. A memorable approach.

We have used high draft picks on the line many times and most recently in 2004.
We will do it again in 2010.

My point about CJ and Ginn was that they could not help their teams win games.
DMac,DHB and JR are in the same situation.

We have used high draft picks on the line many times and most recently in 2004.
We will do it again in 2010.
Guaranteed.
My point about CJ and Ginn was that they could not help their teams win games.
DMac,DHB and JR are in the same situation.
NO Oline-No Offense.
*****************************
First off Norv Turner convinced Al to get a OL in 2004. Al wanted Roy Williams that year. We should have got Sean Taylor.
Russell sucks man. DHB and Dmac suffer because of Russell sucking.
We aint drafting an olineman. We will draft Terrence Cody before an OL

Charlie,
Not sure if they will draft lineman next year but I know for sure they have to address it and cannot ignore any longer. During our 2002 run, we had one of the best Oline in the league. It’s time we find gems like Lincoln Kennedy again. This game is all about the lines.
The steelers is making mendenhall look great because he got huge holes to run to. Our Oline today was embarrassing. I have a hunch we see henderson, Morris, Satele, Carlisle and Green next week. Pears was awful.

*******************
So what you are saying is more of the same schit. Morris, Satelle, Carlisle and Green were also awful. Pears just set the standard. Why is he even on the team? You mean we can’t find better talent than this anywhere in the US? It’s time to hold some public tryouts at the Collesium on Monday. We can probably find better prospects on the streets of Oakland.
October 4th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
I think its time Cable gives up playcalling to Hackett or Tollner. Cable can better save his time for motivating the team throughout the game. I like Cable but I am not a big believer in his playcalling. I’ve been calling for a DHB reverese since day 1 aqnd it took him 4 games to get one in. Sure enough dHB gets 20.

The Raiders have never recovered from what LA did to them.

Now that is the funniest LA reference you have come up with to date!
LMFAO!
I think I’ve heard it all now. Al, JRuss, and now the city of Los Angeles.
*****************************
Sorry Jhill but those are the facts. I know you are from SoCal and you dont want to accept it but its the truth. Raiders lost their identity in that smogged out fake plastic society. Al went even crazier down there and thus led to wild schit and drafting a simpleton QB with limited brain power named Jamarcus Russell. It is a long line of things that have happened. Al is main guy responsible but Russell does suck man. Stop excusing Russell.
October 4th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
This team needs a lot of help. The offense is bad at every position except TE. So tired of watching Green get a false start every game! Always on a 2 minute pressure drill ALWAYS! Who can fix that O not cable. He needs so go back to the line. His play calling is awful. Beyond Awful… Is this going to be another 1-15 season?
October 4th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
Oh and i forgot fir the 80 year old X’s and O’s guy, stuck in a time warp……

This team is being built along the lines of the Cowboys in the late 80’s.
Aikman was 1-15 his rookie year and looked bad doing it. There Oline was worse than the Raiders.
They had Smith, Aikman and Irvin but did not start winning until they drafted DT Russell Maryland in round one.
Unfortunately this is year three of a five year project that started with drafting JR.

Crazy talk.
DHB is bad because, well, he’s just not good. See, it’s not that hard. Just as easy to say if Russell hit him with a few more passes, he’s have a few more drops. I counted 3 drops today from that guy alone.
DMac has nowhere to run when his C and G are 2 yds BEHIND the LOS. It also doesn’t help that he only got the ball 3 or 4 times. Of course, Cable might have a bit more confidence in him if he held on to the ball. I will say that McFadden has run the ball well when holes are there for him to hit. But he’s GOT to hold on to the rock, and gawd damn a few less shoe string tackles would be nice.

Russell didn’t lose this game for us today. That honor goes to the O-line. Russell on the other hand didn’t do anything to win the game either. He needs to be benched, to at least the end of the bye week. He needs to study the complete playbook and learn it – not to play again until he knows it cold. For now use one of the back up QB’s and implement the dink & dunk offense to open up the running game. Hold open auditions for O-linemen. WE need a new C, RG & RT NOW. I don’t know where they are to come from but until that’s done we are not winning another game this year. OK, maybe we can slip by KC but that game is still a toss up. I predict a 2-14 year. That means top 3 pick in next year’s draft. We need to upgrade both lines and find a real MLB while we are at it. Keep Super Mario & Gallery and trash the rest.
To think, over the past years, we could have had Adrian Petersen, Calvin Johnson,Cedrick Ellis, Glenn Dorsey, Ryan Clady, Eugene Monroe,B.J. Ragi. Brian Cushing, Alex Mack, Percy Harvin, Michael Oher, Jerod Mayo, Joe Flacco, Chris Johnson, Joe Thomas, Levi Brown, Patrick Willis, Jay Cutler, Haioti Ngata and the list goes on & on & on. How did our scouting staff miss all these playmakers? Our ability to draft quality people is in serious question – especially in the first round. No wonder our team is not worth a schit. WE CAN”T DRAFT TALENT. WE CAN ONLY DRAFT FAST! Therein lies a big piece of the problem.

Ok, if YOU say so, it must be so.
I thought after what I saw the last 2 weeks, Cable and Russell were much better than they have been. Russell was accurate and confident, and Cable had some good plays going there.
I know your rage for Russell the person has you on a course that is what it is. Today’s game was lost becasue Murphy and DHB couldn’t hold on to the ball, and the Oline couldn’t block anyone.
Next weeks game is already over. Pears, Morris, Carlisle and Satele vs the Giants Dline? We won’t even get to talk shyt about Russell, DHB, or Fargas. I guarantee you our line gets worked over just like they did today.

Agreed. Most normal NFL QBs don’t have the Raiders Oline and rookie WRs.
I just wonder how long Murphy is going to continue to get a pass while DHB catches hell. Murphy has been playing like shyt ever since the preseason game against NO.
October 4th, 2009 at 8:19 pm

the reason murphy get’s a pass is because as a rookie you expect some of those growing pains but he show’s his talent and potential it seems like you can tell he is going to be a good player he just makes some rookie mistakes

Any football fan who’s capable of assesing this mess, knows tha if the running game isn’t wrking with the HB’s we have and the QB’s under considerable pressure SHOULD know that it starts up front. The last 3 games it has been very obvious that our Oline is very subpar.
An astute football fan would look at the Oline and start with the center. When you can’t run simple A-gap an off tackle plays you look at the center position and work outward. Our center is getting hammered.
I argued long and hard about the criticism of Grove when he was here and everyone especially Brien said hews the worse center in the league, well he’s performing very well for the fish. And we don’t have a running game. Now it was very unfortunate when he left but if he were our center we would at lest have running game.
When you can’t run in this league you better have a superstar at QB and very talented WR’s an we have neither. Now everybody wants to blame a very young QB with rookie WR’s lol now there’s an astute football fan for ya’. NINE drops and not one single big play ad it’s the QB?? pure genius!!!
Peyton Manning would have atough time Qbing this team. Anyone wit half a brain could see that, let alone a young QB struggling to learn the game.
Cable has been blind at best in establishing the a running game as an anchor for this offense. Until they biuld this offense around MBush they will not get this offense off the ground……….period.
Start Mbush and run him 30 times a game with Fargas DMC in the slot and he can occasionally help at HB. It’s no ones fault but TOM CABLE who doesn’t know his own team and I’m not saying we would’ve won any of these games I’m just saying at least you’d have something that resembles an offense.
October 4th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
We need to draft 5 POWER Olinemen and a run-stuffing MLB.
Then we will be fine.
TD’s for DMAC and Bush, INT’s for Nnamdi, CJ, and Huff.

Sorry Charlie, this team is being built along the lines of the Raiders since 1986 (except for the Gruden years) a garbage, uncompetitive team that will continue to be beaten like a rug until AD leaves the scene period.
October 4th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Al needs to stay away from the NFL Scouting Combine or having his minions give him the 40 times produced there. You know that he’s going to take Taylor Mays or some other athletic freak who runs fast but doesn’t have football insticts (Fabian Washington, Stanford Routt, Darious Heyward-Bey, to name a few). Winning teams are built on the lines and Al is squandering all of these top picks. So frustrating. With a quality O-Line Russell and McFadden might actually be able to live up to their draft status.
October 5th, 2009 at 12:04 am
“He was getting plastered out there today. Took a lot of big hits and kept on ticking!
That was a plus!”
No, a plus would be if he never got up from one of those hits.
Let’s not forget that this lazy, good for nothing, country hack had the audacity to actually hold out for weeks when the Raiders offered him one of the biggest contracts in NFL history. He has a tattoo that says: “Chosen one”, and guess what? he will NEVER be offered a big contract by ANYBODY EVER AGAIN. He is a total and complete (redundant I know) FAILURE in every sense of the word. The guy is so dumb he can’t even form two coherent sentences together. Have u read his comments from Friday? Oh my god! Watch the games. He had Louis Murphy WIDE OPEN in the first half on a sideline route that wold have gone for six. Let’s not forget the fumble he had and the myriad overthrows. Oh, I guess that was Al’s fault right?
Jasuckas$ is the worst and dumbest QB in NFL history. He makes Terry Bradshaw look like a mensa candidate.
We have NO CHANCE of winning with him and I guarantee you that you will NEVER see him QB’ing in the NFL again after Al finally get’s rid of him. Actually Al will wait till he get’s injured so he doesn’t have to admit Jadorkass is not the “great playuh” he touted him as. Al told Lance to “get over it”? It’s time for Al and everyone else to “get over it” and admit Jadoofass may be the worst ever. Actually I think statistically he already is. Oh, but it’s all Al’s fault….hahaha, pleeeeeze.
October 5th, 2009 at 4:04 am
AT THIS POINT, ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS I NOW AGREE WITH WARREN SAPP ON HIS RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION “HOW DO YOU THINK CABLE WILL DO LEADING THE RAIDERS?” WARREN SAPPS RESPONSE WAS “TOM CABLE COULDN’T LEAD THE RAIDERS TO A BARBECUE IN HIS OWN BACK YARD” DUMP THE COACH AND BENCH THE KID. AT THIS POINT THOSE MOVES COULDN’T MAKE US ANY WORSE… NO MORE SEASON TICKETS FOR US… AL “SENILE” DAVIS HAD WORDS WITH SOME OF THE FANS AT THE DENVER DEBACLE SAYING “IF YOU BOOH OR TALK BAD ABOUT THE RAIDERS, YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT YOURSELVES…” UH JUST A LIL’ FRIGGIN’ HINT AL, NO, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT YOUR LOST IN TIME ASS BECAUSE YOU AL ARE THE PROBLEM… WE NEED A GOOD HARD NOSED COACH LIKE BILL COWHER TO GET BACK TO RAIDERS BALL. BECAUSE YOU DICTATE WHAT YOUR COACHES ARE GOING TO DO, NO QUALITY COACH WILL EVER WORK FOR YOU… YOU WERE QUOTED IN SAYING “YOU WANT NOT 1 BUT 3 MORE SUPER BOWL WINS BEFORE YOU STEP DOWN” WELL I’M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT AIN’T GONNA’ HAPPEN, YOU WILL DIE FIRST AND THE SOONER YOU DO, THE SOONER WE CAN RETURN TO THE GREATNESS OF THE RAIDAZ…
