Halftime: Raiders 10, Eagles 6
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, October 18th, 2009 at 2:45 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Scoring
Oak_Sebastian Janikowski 29-yard field goal, 7:50
Phil_David Akers, 43-yard field goal, :06
Notes:
– Half ends, Raiders are cheered with four-point lead and administering a physical beating to Eagles.
– Zach Miller ended first half with four catches for 125 yards, the latter a career high.
– Donovan McNabb drives Eagles to the 15 with 27 seconds to playfollowing turnover. Eagles get delay of game to the 20. Wanted to call time, didn’t have one left. Richard Seymour gets the gets his second sack and Raiders fourth, Eagles settle for 43-yard field goal by Akers.
– JaMarcus Russell completes 7-yard first down pass to Tony Stewart for first down, but then telegraphs lob to Zach Miller at 2-minute warning for his second interception. Eagles return to the 40-yard line with 1:53 left in the half.
– Raiders survive another big play (the pass to Westbrook) because defensive line is overpowering Eagles. Richard Seymour sacks McNabb for 8-yard loss to force punt intead of field goal attempt. Eagles punt into end zone.
– Under big pressure, Donovan McNabb gets big yards with dumpoff to Brian Westbrook. Eagles get 43 yards to the 27-yard line.
– Raiders open at 13 yards line and drive deep into Eagles territory, two passes to Zach Miller, two first-down runs by Justin Fargas. Louis Murphy draws an unnecessary roughness penalty on Asante Samuel, shoving him, with official catching Samuels’ retaliation.
Third-and-9 reverse to Darrius Heyward-Bey fails to gain a yard. Janikowski’s 29-yard field goal attempt is good. Raiders lead 10-3.
– Raiders force Eagles punt with 14:51 left in quarter. Giving up points or TD following Routt penalty would have been huge.
Another blitz pays off _ Tyvon Branch forces McNabb incompletion on third-and-10.

October 18th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
russell is playing great and we are winning.amazing what having decent play from your main player can do for you.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
October 18th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
SEYMOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Hate to bust you guys bubble but Bush is not a physical runner. He’s just a big dude but not physical like Fargas. Bush does run hard like the team wants when he is pissed. Maybe he’s not pissed enough for Cable’s liking.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
that iraqtv site has the seahawks game on it. I tried th othe other channels, but nothing was coming on. thanks anyway.
Anybody else has any other ideas?
October 18th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Why does cable refuse to hand off to bush?
October 18th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Found the game here:

Game ball for Seymour!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
D fense is working it hard. We HAVE TO keep the pressure up. 4 first half sacks!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
What the hell happened to Russell?! He’s playing like he wants it!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Who says Blitzing works?
October 18th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
We’ve seen dropped passes by the WRs, bad passes by the QB, shotty oline play in this first qtr, and we are STILL winning.
Amazing what some pressure on the opposing offense can do. Let’s hope that Marshall keeps the pressure coming!
Oh, and they cover the RB out of the backfield!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
I wish CBS would switch off the pats game. I mean as much as I love watching them play 38-0…
October 18th, 2009 at 2:54 pm

October 18th, 2009 at 2:54 pm

October 18th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
Must have been the Mcnabb pep talks
October 18th, 2009 at 2:56 pm

I can just see the posts coming now ..
Defense gave up a Russell threw the INT, lol!
That’s why they came out after halftime and gave up a go ahead TD.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:57 pm

you can thank me later WHEN we win….hopefully…
October 18th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Great, our defense is dying.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Russell’s pass to Stewart for a first down as he’s going down was great!
Too bad his next pass was an interception.
The man played a good first half.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Tonio
I dont know what it was.. Dont really care either, so long as they keep it up….
1,2,3 Finish!!!!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
we miss #21
October 18th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
The Raiders still look ugly. But an ugly win is still a win.
I predicted the Eagles would put up 40 on the ra-ra coach, but so far the defense has bailed him out.
Where was this defense when I saw them in Houston?
October 18th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
howard!!!

October 18th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
First lead at the half this year for the Raiders.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
There’s a gruesome crime scene going on in New England right now.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Way to go, D!

Maybe McNabb’s pre-game pep talk with Russell is the difference.
Hire Antonio Pierce: defensive coordinator
Donovan McNabb: consultant/QB coach
October 18th, 2009 at 3:02 pm

damn morrison can overrun gaps even as they develope right in front of him. now we have him cover a wr. oh well…
October 18th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
LMFAO at crash test dummy!
I see you!
October 18th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
OK. Here it goes. Philly analyzed what the Raiders did in the first half, and have adjusted, and will now proceed to dismantle the Raiders in both sides of the ball.
This is where coaching comes into play. Just like the SD game.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Cable Vs. Reed????
No contest!!!
October 18th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Anyone else scared that Routt is our #2 CB?
October 18th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Sneak Russell!
October 18th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Who said blitzing doesnt work….Dial tha SH!T up and get hiz azz….
October 18th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
I cant believe Routt isnt gettin smoked
October 18th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Ha, Akers always misses from outside 40 yards.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Maybe McNabb’s pre-game pep talk with Russell is the difference.
Hire Antonio Pierce: defensive coordinator
Donovan McNabb: consultant/QB coach
October 18th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Timmah,
The only good news is Routt is going against a rookie WR and McNabb is not really an accurate passer
October 18th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
How many times did we blitz against houston. we probable blitz more this game than all the other games combined…
October 18th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
Whhoooaa! That collision was like Rocky I.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
Bush Bangem Bush
October 18th, 2009 at 3:08 pm

October 18th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
See, told you Bush wasn’t physical.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
go 4 it!
October 18th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
LOL at Carlisle litterally getting tossed aside and his man stopping Bush on 3rd and 1.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
Bush is doing well…Cable should take him out asap.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
Louis Murphy has heart…. Likes how he gets in the middle of stuff…..Louis Murphy is a stand up Guy.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Richardson!!!!!!
October 18th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Gotta go for it….
October 18th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Go for it ya pansy Cable!!
October 18th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
AWFUL pass Russell …
Bad decision too. Take the 1st dn bruh by running it or dumping it to Russell.
You know you were due for a 1 hopper!
Fugg!!!!!!!!!!!
October 18th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
One hopper, dammit.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
WTF. RUN THE BALL!
October 18th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Russell could have ran that for the 1st. Bad choice, even if he doesn’t underthrow it.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
c’mon jruss make that pass and its a td
October 18th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
We should trade Nnamdi tomorrow.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
YOU SUCK RUSSELL..geez. easy td…BADLY MISSED.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
THAT WAS ON JAMARCUSS
DAMN CABLE SHOULD KNOW BETTER HE CAN’T THROW ACCURATE
October 18th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Good play call bad throw…. Should have been six….
October 18th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Run the damn ball.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Gerrard Warren IS the leader of this team. Anyone notice him on the sidelines pumping up JRuss these past few weeks and just now!
See him on the sideline firing up the Dline?
Wow!
October 18th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
put in gradkowski!
October 18th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
jamarcus couldve ran for that first down or make a better throw. in that situation id like to see him just run for the first. he may have got a td. nothin but open space in fronof him. this is whats holdinghim back from that next level right now. hell i prefer the dhb reverse.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:15 pm

October 18th, 2009 at 3:15 pm

October 18th, 2009 at 3:16 pm

October 18th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Come on, Bush! Run when you catch the ball. You are a big boy. Punish them.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:23 pm

October 18th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Get Up Big Man
October 18th, 2009 at 3:23 pm

October 18th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
we need some tds and quick. at some point the passing is going to have to take off when its there. cant do checkdowns and miller all the time.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Why the heck is the pats game still on TV?
October 18th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Hell yeah!!!!
October 18th, 2009 at 3:25 pm

October 18th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Bill Belichick is a classless turd. NE up 51-0 in the second half, they’re still throwing. Somebody’s going to shoot him.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:31 pm

October 18th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
I missed this punt return, what happened. Did Higgins f up?
October 18th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
FARGAS!!
Give that man an Ironman award!
October 18th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
Yeah, and they just now switched the game away from the NE game in Atlanta.
WTF?
October 18th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
The fat guy is still in the lead!
You want dumb? Look at McNabb. Jamarcus hasn’t made dumbazz mistakes on clock management.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
All these links blow!
October 18th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
nice we got a 1st, lets put some points up.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
There it is big man!
October 18th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Anyone know of one that actually works?
October 18th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
what’s freaky is… they’re only one score from the lead.. we have to get a td on this …
October 18th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
Our QB can convert short yardage like no other
October 18th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
Why does Russell look like Bubba on Forrest Gump?
October 18th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Go bubba
October 18th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
darth,
he lazily tried to catch the ball, whiffed, and we lost 15 yards on it.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
2 yards from the first. I call run to the outside.
In reality, it will be a deep incompletion to DHB.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Thanks Alisgod.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Let’s see how JaFatass f’s this up.
October 18th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Jerry, this thing is messed up.
What’s your number? I’m a fan of your work. We’ve cleaned it up but the limit on number of posts is really irrritating.
What if this was the SuperBowl? 99% of the comments here would be in:
“You are posting too frequently”
October 18th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Go back and check fellas, but Routt has his best games when Nnamdi is not playing. When Nnamdi is playing, Routt sucks. Go Figure.

You can’t hire programmers to do boys work. Jerry, hire me, move me out to CA, (put me up for two weeks, maybe?)
I’ll write you a better program than this sheeot or show em how ta do it!
