Halftime: Chargers 21, Raiders 10
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, November 1st, 2009 at 3:39 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Notes and observations from the second quarter of the Raiders’ game against the Chargers in San Diego:
– Raiders finally get a decent kick return _ Jonathan Holland for 60 yards. Caught by kicker Nate Kaeding, however.
JaMarcus Russell finds DHB, who can’t get out of bounds but gets 10 yards and first down. Raiders must use time out. Shawne Merriman sacks Russell. Raiders call time with 20 seconds left. One of few whiffs by Mario Henderson this season.
It’s Merriman’s first sack of the season.
Russell short-hops Louis Murphy on second-and-13. Seabass comes out with 15 seconds left in the half. Janikowski nails it. He’s 10-for-10 this season.
– Chargers go 80 yards in eight plays as the collapse appears to be underway. Darren Sproles for 15, LT for 10 and the touchdown to finish it off. Chargers have gained 254 yards with 54 seconds left in the quarter. Philip Rivers 12-fro-15, 189 yards.
– Play in secondary a fiasco _ Raiders decide not to cover Antonio Gates, who gains 30 gift yards on pass from Rivers. Rivers could pass for 400.
– Third-and-4 Raiders go shotgun, Russell has time, rolls right, can’t find receiver, incomplete. Three-and-o
ut.
– Chargers follow Raiders score with 78-yard, 12-play drive _ immediately putting a stop to Raiders momentum. Rivers killing them on third-and-long passes. They might want to cover Jackson at some point. He’s wide open, uncovered in end zone, despite being Rivers’ favorite target.
– Raiders convert Johnson turnvoer to points with the hard running of Fargas. He scores on 3-yard run _ his first in 115 carries dating back to last season and a 1-yard run in a 20-13 loss to the Chiefs. Four carries, 19 yards in 27-yard drive.
Can tough yards in red zone jump-start Raiders?

It was 3rd down Cable!
Gawd Damn!
You can send 4 verticles from our own endzone but won’t even go for the endzone on 3rd down with 15 seconds left?
AMAZING!

The JRuss bashing party started weeks ago!
November 1st, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Naw Thec!
It’s pretty obvious Cable has WAY too much faith in the QB.
I’m not buying that one at all!
November 1st, 2009 at 3:40 pm
JRUSS has ZERO touch… F@K him too….
November 1st, 2009 at 3:40 pm

November 1st, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Jhill,we all,including you,knew this team wouldn’t be great this year.our main goal was to be competitive,win the ones we should,and steal a couple more.all some of us,actually most now,are saying is the main reason we can’t be competitive is our QB.he plays the position that will get most of the blame,just as he would get most of the credit if we were doing better.you keep pointing out he has rookie WRS,the line hasn’t been great,etc.and while that is true,when the QB has had open WRS,has had time,has had a decent Def.,etc,he has still been terrible.thats all.

November 1st, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Lefty,
We USED to be able to talk football. I’ve been saying to you all along that #2 is not playing well, BUT we should be running the ball instead of calling vertical routes.
The FIRST TIME all season Cable does that, we get a TD. Sorry that today was my first opportunity to point out that it doesn’t only work against HS teams.
Now here you go with the BS about making excuses for #2. If I’m saying DON”T let him throw, but instead give the ball to the RBs, how the fugg is that making excuses for #2.
Do something else, don’t let him throw deep = making excuses for him?
Talking about how bad our defense is = making excuses for the QB?
Talking about how Cable sucks = making excuse for #2?
Puh-leeze!
Excusing everyone else and blaming #2 for THEIR fugg ups = making excuses in my book!

November 1st, 2009 at 4:00 pm
Jhill,i hope you read my comment above(#14).i don’t necessarily agree with some of your assessments though.should we run more-sure.but it is difficult to stick with the run when you are at least 2 tds behind.will we see what we have at QB or will he learn if you dumb down the play calling so much?it bothers me that everyone is so down on DHB after 7 games when he can’t really be judged because of the terrible play by his QB.

God, JaMadoff may be THE WORST play-action QB of all time. His movements are so clunky. He’s not fooling anybody.

November 1st, 2009 at 4:09 pm
JR takes the dump off pass to Fargas instead of the totally open receiver crossing 12+ yards down field – tunnel vision. JR is a LONG term project – much the same as Sam Williams. We don’t have the luxury to wait for him. Fouts pointed out that his basics, footwork, are all wrong. That’s the main reason he can’t hit schit.

Gotta laugh a little about this. But at least they have been “competitive” so far.

DHB can go deep but JR can’t get it to him. He’s looking to the dump route as his 1st choice pattern. Doesn’t make any difference what any receiver can do or not do when the QB can’t get the ball to them on time or target.
