Halftime: Chiefs 13, Raiders 10
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, November 15th, 2009 at 2:52 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Scoring
KC_Jamal Charles 44-yard run (Ryan Succop kicks PAT), 12:25
KC_Succop 25-yard field goal, 6:48
Notes:
– JaMarcus Russell throws 15 to Johnnie Lee Higgins, 9 to Zach Miller on first two plays of final drive of half. Higgins can’t hold second down pass _ drop No. 6 for Raiders. Next pass to Fargas broken up by Jovan Belcher.
Raiders get lucky _ Russell fails to get a yard on fourth-and-1 snap nullified by Chiefs time out. Raiders wisely send Lechler out for eighth punt of the first half. Half mercifully ends. Rumor has it Chargers game is already in third quarter _ and it started 10 minutes later.
– Chiefs get ball at own 19 with 1:47 left. Nnamdi Asomugha unloads on Jamal Charles for 5-yard loss on swing pass on first down. Chiefs forced to punt with 1:26 left in the half. Dustin Colquitt hammers one 52 yards, Higgins loses four yards on punt return.
– Raiders get ball back with less than four minutes after forcing Chiefs punt. They start at own 19. McFadden runs three times and has first down, but negated by Mario Henderson hold. Throws short of first down to Johnnie Lee Higgins _ a 9-yard gain on fourth-and-12 _ forcing punt at two-minute warning.
Henderson holds again, but it’s declined.
– Boos escalating as Russell throws higg and outside to Schillens, Fargas runs for short gain, then Russell overthrows Johnnie Lee Higgins for near pick. Punt.
– Dwayne Bowe left uncovered, Cassel finds him for 41-yard gain with only Michael Huff to stop him. Cassell finds wide open Chris Chambers for 23 yards the 7-yard line. Cassel fumbles shotgun snap, then collides with Charles in backfield, then throws out of end zone.
Succop converts 25-yard field goal attempt with 6:48 left in first half.
– Raiders let down Russell on back-to-back plays. Darrius Heyward-Bey drops a post inside the 5 on perfect throw. Russell then pump-fakes and threwos sideline beauty to Louis Murphy to the 5. It comes back because of Robert Gallery tripping penalty.
You won’t see two better throws. Raiders got nothing, end up punting ball away following illegal formation penalty.
–Ultimate lack of respect by Chiefs for Raiders offense. They go for it on fourth-and-1, knowing if they don’t get it, Raiders will have to drive 55 yards or so to score. Charles runs 44 yards for a touchdown _ KC’s first rushing TD in 39 quarters.
– First possession of quarter _ Russell throws to Murphy short of stake on third-and-3. He drops it anyway. Lechler punts 52 yards, Chiefs open at own 34.

November 15th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
An ugly,ugly game.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Ugly… but not out of reach…
November 15th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Why am i still watching this garbage?
November 15th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Make that an ugly painful game.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
This aint so bad, wait till next week. lol
November 15th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
They need to get McFadden on the field as a wideout… Higgins is hearing footsteps every time he goes across the middle…
November 15th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
I thought they had two weeks to fix all the little things?
November 15th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
The Bengals ? That makes me feel even better…..
November 15th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
i swear, they show some signs of improvement at the beginning of the game and fall apart.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
This is all coaching. No way this offense should be this bad. NO WAY!!
And all you dumbasses blaming Russell for the offensive woes need to get a reality check. HOW MANY DAMN DROPPED PASSES MUST WE WATCH!!!!????
And you moron’s boo the QB?
This sht is ridiculous. Game shouldn’t even be this close.
So ridiculous I just couldn’t watch anymore.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Of course its not only the qb, the whole team is BAD…
November 15th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
The only way Cable erupts at Halftime is if an assistant gives him a cell phone with Hanson on the other end trying to tell him about the Chiefs tendencies.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
This sht is disgusting. Drops, Drops, Drops, ooohh the QB has a 40rating …the what the F do you expect?
But hey boo the QB if it makes you feel any better. Highlight his misses and look over all those damn drops!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
Russell is FAR from the problem. FAR from it!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
7 drops TV said
November 15th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
We have a bust line up, JR, Dmac, Dhb, Gallery, bad OL bad wrs bad offensive play calling nothing is good about this offense.
The defense is so dumb, they know it’s 4-1 run play and they give up a TD, we can’t return kicks n punts Cable should be fire and Al Davis needs to retire from the GM position.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
I hate our WRs.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
me too
November 15th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
The game is not over yet, there is still time for a JaMarcus pick and a McFadden fumble
November 15th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
When Russell throws it’s often the sure throw as opposed to other guys open down the field.
And then he either overthrows or throws too hard or whatever.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
They need to get McFadden on the field as a wideout… Higgins is hearing footsteps every time he goes across the middle…
———————–
McFadden – the same guy who drops into a fetal position or drops the ball anytime a defender comes near him
November 15th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
The genius of Al Davis to draft DH-Gay. Man does he suck. It’s important that a WR (first rounder, 7th pick in the draft mind you)be able to CATCH THE FREAKING BALL!!!
Russell is missing a lot of receivers too so don’t exonerate his lame a$$.
The coaching staff does NOTHING to get these guys to play better, so Cable is much to blame for this crap.
It’s a POS team all the way around.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
dont forget a gallery penalty that brings back a good play…
November 15th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
The WR’s are just a bunch of scared pu$$ies.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Commentator: “They are not a come back from behind team”
Blinding glimpses of the obvious
November 15th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Yeah, but it’s the best damn team every April!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
If our offensive scheme protects Russell as well as our defensive scheme protects Nnamdi, Russell would be a pro bowler.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Quit celebrating Howard…You still suck.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Not looking good fellas
November 15th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
at least our kickers name isn’t suck up
November 15th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Well, how about that? Succup Sucked! Phew!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Yeah, but it’s the best damn team every April!
…………………………………….
That’s for sure!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
JR needs to sit next year and a vet come in. we should be blowing this team out. KC is way worse than we are. if only we had cassel huh.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Rumor has it Chargers game is already in third quarter _ and it started 10 minutes later.
—————–
That’s because of all the BS penalties like holding on Mario when he just pushed the guy outta the way.

#poundthebush #poundthebush #poundthebush #poundthebush #poundthebush #poundthebush
November 15th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Still think Bush is our best back…
November 15th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Cable looks like a cashier at McDonald’s who doesn’t feel like being at work.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Raiders will run until KC stops it then JaLoser will throw int. as usual.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Schilens comes off…Heyward-Bey on..
November 15th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Way to waste a timeout dumba$$. Probably forgot what the play should be.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Where’s McBust
November 15th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
0 of 9 3rd down conversions says it all… about to be 0 fo 10 – and bring on Seabass… At least Al has the sense to overpay his best guys…
November 15th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
He overpays his worst ones too. Where is Javon Walker?
November 15th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Look, a 15 yard gain erased by a penalty. Huzzah.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
THis team su
November 15th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
What a time to miss it a fg.
God this team is so bad it hurts.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
It’s like watching the Keystone Kops… disgusting…
November 15th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
I can see why the Raiders held a major press conference when Schilens (almost) came back from his injury. He’s really making a huge difference out there.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
ofcourse jano would miss for the first time right NOW
November 15th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
penalty, FG miss,…
November 15th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
This is so lame it’s like someone at the Raiders is trying to throw this game… I can’t believe what I am watching…
November 15th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Now Jano is sucking …oh boy …this is just embarrassing even if we are so close to winning.
All you dummies ….i don’t know what to tell you …any novice fan can put 1 and 1 together and figure out if the WRs RBs are dropping the passes there’s nothin the QB can do….but yet you continue to blame Russell for their woes. Just ridiculous.
This is bad coaching ..bad prep …nothing else to say about it.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
yeah, this team is just bad. However, they are competing…and like I said before, that’s all you can ask from an undermanned team.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
SeaBass really pissed about that miss and won’t let it go. If only Russell had that fire……………….WTF???????????????????????
We can’t recover a fumble. WTF have we been doing the last two weeks? Cable’s gone for cause. Cause this team can’t do sh!t.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
OH MY GOD …I CANT STAND THIS $HIT. HOW MANY GUYS HAD A CHANCE AT THAT??????ARRRGHHHHHHHHHHHH
November 15th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
&*%$£!*****
November 15th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
raiders’ ball
November 15th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
Raiders are so dam stupid!
1. Arguing that they made an interception when
they have stopped the Chiefs on 4th done already.
And if they did say it was an interception then
we would have lost 5 yards.
2. I can’t believe no Raider just fell on that
fumble.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
This is like watching a couple of monkeys trying to race broken tricycles.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Lets hand the ball to Bush for 50 yards then
automatically switch to Fargas for negative yards.
Brilliant plan.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
How come every Raider always drops those stupid
drop off passes that Russell throws.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
This team isn’t undermanned …its the Chiefs who are outmanned!!! Cheifs don’t hvae nearly the same talent …not even close!!!
This team is just badly coached. Thats it! The sht you are seeing is just ridiculous …esp coming off a bye.
Defense is playing good but Cable responsibility, the O, is sucking badly.
And Todd Haley is a gawd awful coach.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
That was on the recievers, no ONE’S OPEN.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Nice 3 and out…not Wow Carey is bald as a beaver!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
It was a head but Tasker you blind bat.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Terrapin,
The Raiders are undermanned. They have no receiving corps, no o-line and a sketchy at best QB.
The team is just not talented. Those penalties are the result of either getting beat or having no football awareness.
Its a bad team!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
You know we all have been guilty of doggin Russell for being dumb and not spending enough time at the facility. Actually he may turn out being the smart one for not spending time at work. What in the world do the coaches have the team working on all day over there?
November 15th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Throw the ball down field! Wheres the Snake?
Lets bring him out of retirement. Can’t do
any worse then Russell and that stupid winter
cap with the ball on top in toasty Oakland.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
I am now officially on the CUT JaMarcus bandwagon. He’s just a big dumb animal, ladies and gentlemen.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
crappy punt. Jeezus.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Mario is regressing
November 15th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Cable has brief words for Russell . . . Gradkowski is warming up.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
The Snake was the best!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Russell is SOOOOOOOO bad!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Battle of the crappiest coaches in football. And yes, Cable is the worst.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
Prisoners should be forced to watch this.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
Take a seat, Russell.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
Russell is soooooooooooooooo bad. Words can’t even describe it.
Oh. but HE says he’s doing “pretty good”.
Hope he purchased enough Escalades when he had the chance, cuz he will NOT get another big payday.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
I suddenly have a good vibe coming on.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
If Cable benches Russel then Al should fire his az tomorrow!!!
Anyone with half a damn brain can see that he is not the problem. DAmn near 10 dropped passes!!!! are you kiddin’ me!!!
How the hell can any QB find a rhythm like that!<!<!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
My damn channel went out so I turn it on Red Zone Channel and Louis Rankin is tearing it up for the Hawks.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
Man I hate that stupid hat Russell is wearing.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
The Chiefs are a terrible football team but they have one thing going for them-they don’t have Russell.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
UNFUKINBELIEVABLE !!!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Now lets see how Russell f’s THIS up.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
GRADKOWSKI ARE YOU FUKIN JOKING CABLE????
November 15th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Terrapin can I get some of that stuff you’re on?
November 15th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Can’t do much worse than Russell.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
You’re living a lonely dream, Terrapin. Russell is really bad. And so are a lot of the other players. Not saying that Cable isn’t also bad, but you’re a fool to believe that Russell is worthy of being a starting NFL QB.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
3 and out. No better without Russell.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Russell is such a great team player. Pouting on the bench so Warren has to come over and talk some sense into him.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
FIRE CALBES AZ TOMORROW!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
OK. Gradkowski is a short, stubby, lame a$$. May as well try Frye.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Cable just sealed his fate.
Benching the QB with 10 dropped passes and unlimited drive killing penalties?
Gradkowski better win this game or else Al will WITHOUT question fire this cat.
UNBELIEVEABLE!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Raiders get a turnover and do NOTHING with it. These are the freaking Chiefs for cripes sake!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
Gradkowski sucks too. Leave Russell in, what difference does it make?
Leave Russell in for the rest of the year. If something clicks, then that’s great. If not, then it doesn’t matter anyway.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
I can’t remember the last time I actually wanted a coach fired mid season but Cable is getting his due now. This is the most asinine move I have seen to date. Bench a guy who’s team is failing around him. You bench him!!! I would be pissed as hell too.
This whole team is going to quite now. Cable should be adios. Bring back Kiffin, sht.
And for all you nimwits …NO QB will be 100% accurate. They all throw bad balls. But damn …how many good balls are dropped ….WAAAAAYYY too many …and you bench the QB for that? ????
FIRE CABLE’S AZZZ
November 15th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
RAIDERMARTY!
POST#74!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Higgins sucks. Cut his ass.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
FIRE CABLE, HACKETT AND WHO EVER THAT WR COACH IS …OH TOLLINER! Damn I’ve never seen so many drops.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
Not much has changed.
Still ‘The Dumbest Team in America’.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Man. I just dream of the day we have a REAL QB.
November 15th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Another great moment from the toilet bowl.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Best corner in the league my a$$.
November 15th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
A$$-omugha. Way to go.
