First quarter: Raiders 7, Eagles 3
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, October 18th, 2009 at 1:52 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Scoring
Phil_FG David Akers 45, 2:27
Oak_Zach Miller 86-yard touchdown from JaMarcus Russell (Sebastian Janikowski kicks PAT), 2:06
Notes:
– Raiders bid to go up 14-3 taken away when Stanford Routt’s interception and touchdown called back for pass interference. Raiders also get unsportsmanlike conduct on bench area. Eagles at Oakland 43 when quarter ends.
– A routine pass play on first down gets the Raiders a spectacular result _ an 86-yard touchdown play from Russell to Miller. Louis Murphy threw two key blocks, the first on Quinten Mickell, the second on Ellis Hobbs.
– DeSean Jackson stretches out for 51 yard strike from McNabb against Chris Johnson. Eagles get little else, settle for 45-yard Akers field goal. Blitzing Thomas Howard forces third-and-2 incompletion.
– Another possession, no first downs, Russell throws 5-yard gain to Todd Watkins on third-and-6. Shane Lechler punts Eagles back to the 11 _ smart move to punt, given play of Raiders defense so far.
– Raiders turnover doesn’t convert to Eagles points. Eagles can’t get first down, David Akers misses 43-yard field goal attempt. Nnamdi Asomugha not on field when McNabb throws incomplete into end zone. Trainers talking with him behind bench.
– Russell’s first down pass to Louis Murphy off target, it bounces off his hands high in air, Asante Samuel intercepts at the 29-yard line.
– Two series, two Trevor Scott sacks. This one on third-and-12, McNabb forced up in pocket by Greg Ellis, Scott gets him from other side. Raiders survive “explosive” play _ McNabb swing to Bryant Westbrook for 22 yards on first down.
– Second possession another three-and-out for Oakland. A foregone conclusion after Trent Cole sacked Russell on first-and-10, running through attempted block of 215-pound fullback Gary Russell.
– Who says Raiders don’t blitz. Trevor gets his first sack, with Thomas Howard close behind, as Eagles go three-and-out on first possession.
– Raiders first series. Pass to G. Russell, no gain. Pass slightly behind DHB, can’t hold, near pick. Bush runs for four yards. Punt.
– The Raiders ran on the field as a team rather than be introduced individually. Can’t blame ‘em. It’s been a team effort through and through.
– Linebackers Kirk Morrison and Thomas Howard and Kirk Morrison executed “Black Hole” leaps before the Raiders ran on to the field en masse. Neither was impaled by shoulder spikes.

October 18th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
jhill they didnt put my post up cuz i just pointed out how full of bullish jerry is. that pas to murphy was on targert but lardass here says it wasnt. it hit murphy right in the hands. and yes that was the same thing to dhb
October 18th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Y do they always do this to us Jerry!?
October 18th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
I think 21 got a finger in the eye.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Love that spin move!
SHOCK THE WORLD
October 18th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
I can’t believe we are blitzing…and what do you know, it’s working!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Yo Im still on the ship!!!! any 1 got a different link
October 18th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Now just think back to the Denver game when the DB tripped DHB leading to an INT by JRuss. Not quite sure how that play differs from the one we just got a penalty on.
And how the FUGG is that not grounding on McNabb right there?

I just don’t understand why we haven’t seen this defense until now?
Constant pressure sure makes it seem like the team hasn’t quit instead of sitting back in that 70’s BS defense we’ve been playing.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Nice flop, Murph!
JUST WIN, BABY!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
Got jerked AGAIN by the refs!!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
I just can’t get over how accurate Russell looks throwing the ball to Miller.
Hmmmm
Where are Lefty and Mista?
Can’t even give the kid credit?
Sad!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
Aww man, these dudes trying to save Cable’s job. Let’s win but win by luck on a tipped ball or something so Cable stays on the hot seat.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
still.. need more Bush..

October 18th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
How bad was that pass interference against Routt? I can’t see the game, just tracking on Sportsline.com.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
yo thec!!! This could be the day!!! Im gettin all happy and stuff!!!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
When DHB tripped with the DB from Denver and didn’t get the call; Today the same exact thing happened in the Saints game and the Saints WR got the call.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
Only 2 drops on the day are by the rookie WRs, lol!
One leading to a pick!
Nice run by the fat guy, huh? LMFAO!
Go get em big fella!
I sure hear a lot of cheering from the boycott crowd!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
Raiding
it was awful. the guy fell down. worst than dhb falling down vs Denver.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Props to the Oline for showing up!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Wow jruss more swiv than dmac….?
October 18th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
DAMN IT SATELE!!!!!!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Jhill,i’m was trying to watch on some lousy link.Russell is on and we are in the game.that td pass to Miller is what i have been talking about-he hit him in stride-the rec didn’t have to stop or twist to make the play.this game is proving what i have been saying-if our QB plays good we have a chance,if he sucks,we don’t.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Cmon Cable,
That was an AWFUL fugging call man!
DAMN!
A reverse on the 10 yd line?????
October 18th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
thanks I appreciate the link
October 18th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Sorry they gotta put Bush back in there

———-
I call it intensity. Lack of week for the past 4 weeks. Pierce fired them up.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Lets go JRUSS!!! You are looking great!! Its like a whole new offense right now!! I think I just saw a pump fake?!?!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
why the hell does cable take bush out the game when we get to the redzone? this is what we all biotch about?
October 18th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
why would u call that play right there now? yeah but jerry says play calling is overrated. what a joke.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
poor call.. poor call
October 18th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
totally agree,Armond
October 18th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
3rd and goal lets do this!!!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
I didnt like that play call at all
October 18th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
I think Cable rotates Bush and Fargas per possesion so when Bush and co. go 3 and out then Fargas gets his chance. Bush also got the first 3 or 4 possesions.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
ok ok thanx Jano….
October 18th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
lets go D!!!!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
xfactor thats the problem stick with one guy as the lead but dummie refuses to do it. then he wonders why his offense satlls so much.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
That channel surfing link is like somebody sending this feed form a bar somewhere.
Begars can’t be choosers I guess. Thanks for the link.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
It’s only a couple of minutes into the 2nd, and Russell already has more passing yards than the entire offense had last week. WTF?
October 18th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Lefty,
PUH-LEEZE!
We are in this game because the defense is playing like they did week 1. Heck better than they did week 1. We had the same 3 and outs to start the game as we have the past 3 weeks and we are not down double digits to start the 2nd qtr.
JRuss is as accurate as he’s always been to Miller. The difference is the EFFORT by him and Murphy to get in the end zone. Same drops by the WRs, man!
What you’ve been saying?
LMFAO! OK!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
did al davis give the green light on the Blitz…such a different team !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
0-3 on third down! GO D
October 18th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Did Al Davis give the green light on the Blitz..??
October 18th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk they made it
October 18th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
Gotta love playing the team with no pads…
October 18th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
If we could ever learn to cover the back out of the backfield, we might be dangerous.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
Cable slams headset at ref. He needs to show fire like that on players who makes mistakes. He’s always picking on little guys.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
awww isht here we go again… come on D do this ish…
October 18th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
they gave dj too good of a spot but what else is new. they need beaware of these damn cutbacks. and that was grounding.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
Wow, that’s real disrespect to the Raiders defense to go for it on 4th, deep in your own territory, only down by 7, early in the game.
And it worked. LOL
October 18th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
damn it!!!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
3-2-PHI 39 (5:16) D.McNabb pass short middle to B.Westbrook to PHI 27 for -12 yards (T.Branch). Penalty on OAK-C.Johnson, Illegal Contact, declined.
———————————————
What the hell? They lost 12 yards, then declined the penalty? How did it become 1st down if they declined? What really happened?
October 18th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
fuggg
October 18th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
SeeeeeeeeeMoooooooooooooooe butts
October 18th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
Just showed Madden at the game. Couldn’t tell if he was in Al’s booth!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
LOL!
Tell me Lawton would not have dropped that.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Call me crazy, but Fargas is looking good!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
A couple of weeks ago somebody posted a link to a site called “IraqTV” or something like that where the game was being streamed live and it was easy to get. To that person, if you are out there, what was that site again?! I want to see dam it!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
D—frkin Fense
October 18th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
Awwww Damn !!!!!!!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
I agree with you Armond, they need to feed one guy and let him in a groove. OMG Jamrcuss just made a play!! Then threw a pick, standard!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
Jhill,i’ve given you credit for knowing football better than that.sure the D is playing good,but they haven’t been on the field for most of the half.the off has been getting first downs and have actually scored points in the 1st half.come on,man,you are better than that.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
OK Cable,
Now slam the headset down to the ground at Russell when he comes your way.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
yeah jhill we cant cover backs at all man. this drive is lasting too long because of it. he refuses to keep bush in the game still.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
McNabb confused about anything with the word “time” in it. Overtime, Timeout, etc.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
cable should also ask himself why he gets greedy throwing the ball. lest get bush involved int the game. russell soft tossed that ball cuz he didnt see the safety help. he gotta see that but i wish cable would stick to ruuning with bush now. he gets too comfortable when jmac makes some plays. he aint ready to do everything yet. also notice how hes not going to his wrs still?
October 18th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
DAMN RUSSELL
October 18th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
Ok Russell!
Enough of the passes to Miller. I know the WRs aren’t doing anything but you HAVE to throw the ball they’re way. Even if it mean incompletions! They are sitting on Miller now!
Bad pass!

IM WATCHING IT ON DIREC TV BUT THAT WAS THE SITE
October 18th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
We have the worst receiving corps in the league. I don’t blame Russell for not going to them, but you’re right.

October 18th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
what was the point of that run play to end the half?
October 18th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
we should have 17 if not for the refs. well what we need to do is establish bush and the wrs in the second half and dont let up on defense.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
Nice pass Russell…
October 18th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
Great half for the D, JR looks decent, WR’s still can’t catch, and Raiders get hosed again by the refs!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Don’t worry. Raiders can’t handle success. They’ll find a way to f it up.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
I hope not..but if recent history serves…
October 18th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
Holding to a FG would be a good victory.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Im so stressed
October 18th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
..79.
your not used to this. None of us are.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
Winning against a good team????
What??????????
October 18th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
YES!!!
October 18th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
So far we are getting the breaks we need to win this game, LETS GO RAIDERS!!!!!
