Halftime: Jets 24, Raiders 0
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, October 25th, 2009 at 2:36 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Scoring
NYJ_Shonn Greene 8-yard run (Jay Feely kicks PAT), 5:51
NYJ_FG Feely 39 yards, :03
Notes:
– Feely’s 39-yard field goal capped a 76-yard drive with three seconds left in the half. You can bet the Jets will do nothing but run the ball in the second half _ a good test of the Raiders’ defensive will in a game that looks lost.
– Bruce Gradkowski’s first series went three-and-out. Incomplete down the right sideline to Louis Murphy, incomplete short to Gary Russell (dangerously close to a pick going the other way) and a short gain to Zach Miller short of the first down.
– Greene caps a 93-yard drive with an 8-yard run, one play after racing 26 yards with a pitch to the 8-yard line.
– With Russell still wearing his helmet and Bruce Gradkowski throwing passes and jogging the sideline, getitng loose, the Jets convert a third-and-5 pass to David Clowney (no pressure) for a first down.
– Raiders forced to punt after Russell throws late, over the middle on Jets blitz. If Dwight Lowery hadn’t slipped, it might have been interception No. 3. Raiders actually picked up blitz initially and gave Russell adequate time.
– Following 16-yard run on fake punt, Raiders force again force punt . . . this time he kicks it. Higgins fair catch at the 10-yard line.

This is depressing.
What the hell is so fundamentally wrong with our offensive plan and Russel? 3 turnovers on pass plays in the 1st quarter in a game that should be played as a low scoring game… jesus

raiders suck don key nuts
October 25th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
As I said on another thread, I’m so glad I have NFL Redzone. I am seeing just enough of the blacked out game to make me sick without throwing up.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
I’m out.Got to get up early in the morning…..don’t want to go to work and put pi$$ poor shift in.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
Jamarcus sucks. He gave the Jets 14 points.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
good effort, jamarcus. looks like you really put in the time this week. now let’s watch this defense give up 400 yds rushing. haven’t we seen this before?
October 25th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
The NFL is looking into calling a “TURNOVER” a “JaMarcus”. Shall I continue to watch this “scrimmage”?
Also, by the looks of the crowd (I’m in the Midwest), it looks as though the Raider Fans are trying to make a statement to the team.
Don’t be surprised if Al gets to move again. Without a salary cap, though, if NFL becomes MLB, that may be one of only a handful to which a franchise can compete. Where would you rather have the team? Hate the message and don’t hate the messanger, but you’re giving Al ample ammunition to be heard and have a very legitimate arguement. Does the NFL need 4 California francises? Probably not.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
IF NOT FOR RUSSELL THIS GAME WOULD BE CLOSE OR WE WOULD BE LEADING.
HE GAVE THEM 14 POINTS
ANY OTHER QB WOULD HAVE SCORED AT LEAST TWICE THERE DEFENSE IS BANGED UP BAD.
CABLE IS HORRIBLE ALSO. HE CALLS O.K. PLAY’S BUT FORGETS WHO HIS QB IS. ( I MEAN WAS ).
October 25th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
Al Davis is calling the plays from his wheelchair. That’s why we abandoned the run.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
I got home at 430 needless to say my fear of the game being over before I got to sit down to watch came true. Thanks Jamarcus, hope you like that money bc you didnt earn a cent of it.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
it takes until we’re on the verge of 2-5 for cable to bench russell. dude has 2 tds and 8 ints. wow. AD must REALLY like JR for cable to have stuck with him until the season is on the verge of being lost.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Crazy to think how much $$ that first half just cost the Raiders.
A strong first half leading to a win and we start selling out games. Now it’s back to same ol same ol and 45K games.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Russell’s first play was a fumble leading to a Jets TD.
Russell’s second drive ended in an interception which then led to a Jets TD.
Russell’s third drive led to an interception.
Nation, this guy just sucks the life out of our team.
He just plain doesn’t know what he’s doing.
Gradowski is average? Who the hell cares? Russell can’t reach that level.
The man has no pocket awareness whatever!
He could walk onto a train track see the training coming and STILL not know it’s about to hit him.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Cmon Lefty ….
Now I’m being a smartass?
YOU disagreed with me that Cable should not be calling these passing plays by saying we are not playing HS football.
I simply point out that Ryan is doing the exact same thing with Sanzhez and now I’m being a smartass?
I point out Cable going deep right off the bat with Gradkowski, and following it up with another pass.
Cable sucks man! I don’t know what else you need to see. The best thing we have beed doing all day is running with Fargas. It was the first quarter man, cmon!
WTF is Cable calling all these pass plays? Why can’t we pound the ball like we did last week? Like the Jets are doing now?
October 25th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
now cable puts gradkowski in, which is pointless because he cant be expected to led the raiders back. Then AD will say see look gradkowski didnt do anything.We’ll be seeing more of russell. Run the ball cable. raiders can’t come back anyway so just pound the ball in the second half
October 25th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
Well let’s see what happens in the second half. Grad can’t do any worse can he???????
October 25th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Russell sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 25th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Time to cut losses, suck it up, and draft a project QB in next year’s draft, round 3-4 in what promises to be a QB-rich draft. JaBlubber does not have the mental capacity to be an NFL QB, period, nor does he have the passion or drive to improve. The only reason why Al would stick with this loser, is because he put it up for the world to see on his circa 1970s overhead projector that “Russell will be a great player”.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
this whole game falls on russell.. he handed the game away by setting up 2 easy touchdowns in the first quarter. IT’s ALL on jamarcuss russell. 100%%%%%%%%

October 25th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
how the hell can you pound the ball,use up clock when you are 21 points down?
—————————————————–
You JRuss hater are hilarious!
Lefty! The first play of the game, we were not down 21 pts. The first play of the game, inside the 10 yd line, we called a pass play.
What part of that don’t you understand. That fumble should have never happened because that play should have never been called!
The 2nd INT should have never happened (WE WERE DOWN 7, NOT 21!). Cable calling a play that has Russell turning his back to that rush was either going to be a sack or a turnover!
All that happened when the score was 0-0, or 7-0 with a defense playing out of it’s mind!
October 25th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
how the hell can you pound the ball,use up clock when you are 21 points down?our QB gave them 14 points in the first half of the 1st Qtr.even if you planned on running the ball,that changes everything.and at some point,you HAVE to pass the ball.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
If Grad isn’t any better I say we put in Frye. Heck, why not. Let’s see if any of this QBs can actually play so we can start planning for next season.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
why would the raiders move? didnt work last time. raider stunk it up in LA. oakland is where they belong.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Our team isn’t as bad as it looks.
Russell just plain sucks the life out of the team.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
Al Davis sucks. The Raiders sucks. Believers are morons.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
im glad the coliseum is half empty who wants to watch the crap al puts on the field?And thomas howard calling ou fans to the game hahah lol sorry bud it takes more than one win to get excited about.Put a string of wins together first.And sapp looks like a genious he called it.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
lol Bradshaw just called JR “Jamarcus canIgetahamburger Russell”.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
Raiders are not playing well today.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:55 pm

Our team isn’t as bad as it looks.
——————————————————
Yes it is!
We made a QB change when it was 14-0 and early in the 2nd qtr. Don’t give me that shyt!
October 25th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
A change of scenery will help? Yeh, like moving to Oakland helped? Johnny, you’re an idiot. It doesn’t matter where Al Davis goes, HE WILL SUCK. Get that through your disabled head.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
lazy QB’s don’t make it in the NFL.
there are no more guys like Stabler who could be at The Pop Inn at 6:00 am and still win.
JR needs to put in some time extra time at work if he wants to ever make it as a player
October 25th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Raiders will move. Maybe change of scenery will help.
October 25th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
I think you guys are wasting your energy and emotions by complaining about our play. It is very clear now that our management is the sole reason why we will NEVER return to greatness. Al, get your sh*t and get out! :0)
October 25th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Honestly? I hope JaMarcus gets plenty of playing time for the rest of the season. If this is the effort he’s going to bring week-in, week-out, if this is the way he’s going to play, the Raiders organization has to know. That way after this season we can move on.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Well Real Madden ….you’re the only one on this blog to lick your own A$$!!!
October 25th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Raiders can suck deez nutz!
October 25th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
I would much rather watch Grad than an overpaid, overweight primadonna like JaBlowme
October 25th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
JHill what the hell is so hard about this?!
Russell’s FIRST play was a fumble leading to a TD.
Russell’s second drive was an interception leading to a Jet’s TD.
Russell’s third drive ended in an interception!
HE SUCKS THE LIFE OUT OF A TALENTED TEAM!!!
October 25th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
fumble-aya!fumble-rooski!
October 25th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
Wow that was a horrible fumble by jamarcus. Oh that wasn’t him oops.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
you wanna be OCs make me laugh.in the past when we ALWAYS started the game by running 3 plays and not getting a 1st down,you complained about our lack of imagination on off.now you complain because we try a pass play and blame the coach because the QB has absolutely no awareness of what is happening around him.i never hated Russell until he kept dragging this team down.to bad you can’t see that part.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Yeah Jupe it makes you appreciate Stabler that much more. He is definitely my favorite RAIDER of all time….
October 25th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Turnover machine. Stupid football.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Tried to do too much. Nice effort though, but same stupid mistakes lead to same stupid outcome.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
See? We have to run that west coast stuff to move the chains, even though you Davis a ss lickers don’t like it, and believe our team is built for the vertical game…LOL.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
I’m tired of hearing that this is a talented team. If the Raiders are really as talented as everyone says, there is no way, no matter how bad a QB or scheme, we would get blown out and manhandled so frequently.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Now we’re playing conservative. Funny how they have Russell dropping back and looking deep, yet they’re finally using an effecient gameplan with gradkowski…
October 25th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Nice grad. He avoided the rush and gained some yards. Woooo! A positive play!
October 25th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Crabtree has more than twice as many recptions as DHB in one game.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Way to go Grad!!!!
October 25th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
they need to show the raiderettes more and the raiders less!
October 25th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
Love how patient you guys are with Gradkowski. If this were Russell, you guys would be going nuts. Raider fans are the dumbest people on the planet, bar none!!!
October 25th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Put in Frye!
October 25th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Well that was fun while it lasted. He needs to know there’s a guy coming behind him.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Frye, Frye, we want Frye.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha………………………………
October 25th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Can we forfeit the rest of the games?
October 25th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
The WCO is what got us to our last SB. Al Davis doesn’t like it, that’s why we don’t use it more.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
trmr jamarcus gae the momen tum away. if the raiders would have started this game with gradkowski at qb I guarantee this game would have a tottaly different outlook than what it has now guaranteed.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
At least Grad is playing with energy and emotion.
He will make some mistakes as well, but I hope they leave him in the rest of the season.
I am tired of watching Russell’s big, sloppy azz.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Why don’t we ever try to strip the ball from opposing backs the way they always seem to do to us?
October 25th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
I answered that already England!
Do you agree with passing the ball on the first play of the game from our own 10 yd line?
That 2nd INT was a bad play call and a bad decision by Russell, right? PA fake on 1st down? I just ask WHY?
Tell me how you feel about Watkins vs Revis? Would you call those plays?
I have a problem with the playcalling. You have a problem with the QB. It’s not that hard.
Gradkowski or Frye are not going to make things any better man. That’s all I’ve been saying. Russell looks like the rd youngest QB in the league, yet our playcaller calls plays like we have Manning or Brady.
The one thing I was hoping for with a QB switch was a change in how we attack. All we still see are deep pass plays.
What do you see the other team doing? Run Run, throw it away. Just like we did last week, right?
October 25th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
on his first PR day as a Raider in rookie year at a mall around Fremont/Newark, Russell leaves many kids waiting in line for a autograph because his allotted time was up. it was a good indicator of how he would perform on the field in the future
October 25th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Doesn’t matter what QB we put in. As long as that old vulture is still perched in that box, we will suck.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Gradkowski sucks. 24-0.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Dammit! Why couldn’t Russell have defended that better? Russell couldn’t keep up with him. Russell sucks in pass coverage!!
October 25th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
We have to be a running team just like NY and let the D win the field position. This loss today is on both the Cable and Russell. They destroyed the intensity of the team right off the bat.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
31-0

October 25th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
4 turnovers + uninspired play = another blowout
October 25th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
can Shane Lechler play QB?
October 25th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Real Madden,
I was KIDDING about change of scenery. Jeeez.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Ok, put in Frye now… there’s gotta be some talent at QB somewhere!
October 25th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
oh,well,at least all the negative haters will be happy for another week.they’ll be able to be on here spewing their bs and making those that actually like the Raiders more miserable than they already are from watching this team.have fun anti Raider crowd.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Can we just forfeit the season already and save me some Sundays?!?! I cant wait for Thanksgiving so that Fox or CBS posted the lowest numbers ever for a Thanksgiving football game. I hope Al slips in the tub and dies. Was that too harsh?!?! :0\
October 25th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Alis”God”,
God is down 0-31. Nice screen name, jackass!!!
October 25th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Gradkowski and his Jeff Garcis act is not the answer!
That last TD that Sanchez threw was another classic example of how far we have to go! That ball was underthrown but the 4th string WR made a play on the ball.
Made a play on the ball …. made a play on the ball … made a play on the ball!
October 25th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
There’s somebody commenting here right now with the screen name, “AlisGod”. I’m not joking. Scroll up. He’s not even embarrassed! Unbelievable. What’s this world coming to?
October 25th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
If Lechler can play QB he can’t possibly be any worse than Russell.
The guy just sucks the life out of the team.
It doesn’t matter who plays QB now because the team gave up.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
Guys,
Come on. Let’s not get all pissed off and discouraged. Those of us who have been die hard fan for the past 30 years know that this game is no surprise. Al has ruined this team and this is just another example of bad coaching, bad talent, horrible organization. Last week was a fluke. This week is a true indicator of what our team is; We’re terrible. We had a week to prepare, so did they and look at the result. Yes, Russell isn’t a very good quarterback but teams don’t get blown out week after (every other) week when the team doesn’t suck all around.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
Alis”god”(LOL, CAN’T EVEN SAY IT W/O LAUGHING), I never bought a Russell jersey. I was exaggerating. Sue me. But your name is Alis”god”, which makes you a first grade retard. Just so you know. Are you watching this game?
October 25th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Mrs. good thing is you still worship him….how is that JR jersey you bought doing bro?
October 25th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
news flash cable just made some changes jrussell new starting right tackle and janikowski starting running back and randy hanson qb lets go raiders hope the changes work.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
wow they are back to playing man to man, LOL a joke i tell you, AL figure that hes man to man will stop the jets. game was over after russell turnovers, wow AL sure loves to lose
October 25th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
they should put the raiders on furlough days every other sunday
October 25th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Lefty:
Screw the haters.
Mr GFY.
This team IS better than it looks.
They just quit playing every time because Russell’s amazingly bad play sucks the life out of them.
What are they playing for? They’re just waiting for Russell to screw it up.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Exactly Aloha!
You and RaiderNationPA are EXACTLY right!
You guys should post in here WAY more often.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
at least we dont have to hear about Gradkowski anymore.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
C’mon. I’ll bet that even if the Jets told the Raiders exactly what play they were gonna run, Raiders STILL couldn’t stop them.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
We should have Lechler punt the ball to our receivers instead of forward passes. Talk about the vertical game! We couldn’t be doing that much worse, seriously.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
Sapp was right all along. He said the Raiders were done after week one. This organization is done as long as Al is in charge. Doesn’t matter who the coaches are, who the players are, who the janitors are or who the freakin parking attendants are. It is the same old crap because its the same old fart running it. Right now I would love to take Al’s dirty diaper and shove it down his dumba&& throat. As for you idiots who continue to go to the games and continue to give Al your hard earned money, you are part of the problem. Things will NEVER change or get better as long as Al is alive. Keep on drinking the koolaid boys & keep on losing. This team is not all bad, but it is run so horribly that success is impossible.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Does anyone know what the number for the Oakland Police Department is? I want to report a $32mil robbery by JaMarcus Russell!
October 25th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Time to sit back and observe the greatness of Bruce Gradkowski.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
Ok guys, we’ve been punked! Ashton Kutcher just tweeted it. These Raiders are actually paid actors! True story.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Last week the Raiders got just plain lucky. They managed to cover up the stench that is really the Raiders. Don’t be at all surprised if they don’t get lucky again this year. We now can look forward to watching Al choose whoever is the fastest, strongest or biggest arm. May as well just choose something from the zoo cuz it will be a lot cheaper.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
someone should get ANTONIO PIERCE on the line and have him talk crap to this high school team again, WOW LOl J e t s JETS JETS JETS , gotta love it lol
October 25th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
What the hell happened to the run defense???
This is so pathetic it’s unbelievable.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
If they don’t score it will be the worst home shutout loss in Raiders history. Perfect for the 50th season anniversary. I encourage everyone to call into the KSFO post game show and express your feelings because this organization is robbing every Raider fan. The players quit today yet still get their ridiculous paychecks.
October 25th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
Heywood-Gay just dropped TD RIGHT IN HIS BREAD BASKET!!!
