By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, January 3rd, 2010 at 3:31 pm in Oakland Raiders.

Scoring

Oak_Sebastian Janikowski 39-yard field goal, 4:06.

Notes:

– JaMarcus Russell gets 3 on a keeper, sneaks for a first down, then throws interception to Danell Ellerbe, who returns it to the 24-yard line. Looking for Zach Miller.

Willis McGahee gets 6 yards to the 16-yard line on the last play of the quarter.

– Raiders force another Baltimore punt, with Flacco scrambling and caught by Seymour, Morrison.

– Raiders continue to struggle on kick returns, with Parmalee getting to the 34-yard line on 33-yard return following Janikowski field goal.

– Michael Huff, Mike Mitchell dump Flacco for sack on third-and-8 to force Ravens punt. Low liner caught by Johnnie Lee Higgins on bounce. Russell gets good field position at Raiders 49.

Russell completes 10-yard pass to Louis Murphy, but Cornell Green jumps on a third-and-10, making it third-and-15. Russell throws laser to Chaz Schilens for 17 yards to the 27-yard line.

“Just what I “bleeping” said,” scremaed a voice in the Ravens press box.

Raiders burn first timeout of second half with 5:15 left in the third quarter, with Russell noticing personnel issue.

On third-and-9, Russell throws for 5 yards to Louis Murphy to set up 39-yard field goal attempt for Janikowski. He converts with 4:06 left in third quarter as Raiders close within 14-13.

– Russell’s first pass to Chaz Schilens gains 18 and gets them to the 32, out of shadow of own end zone. Michael Bush dumped for 3-yard loss on third-and-1. Lechler punts 59 yards (avearge to 51.13, record is 51.4). Big return, but holding penalty pushes Ravens to own 20.

– Ravens punt on first possession, Frye on a stationary bike. Cable talks to offense as a whole. Russell will start possession at 10-yard line.

Fans, as you can imagine, are less than excited.

    This one works pretty well.

  10. Raider O Says:

    Lefty,

    KSFO is not working for me. Thank you.

  11. Thec07 Says:

    murphy is badass, is the best WR on this team…

  12. Thec07 Says:

    BRL is garbage…cut his fat ASS after this qtr…

  13. raidermarty Says:

    unfreakinbelievable

  14. Thec07 Says:

    BRL, doesnt want to be in oakland we dont want him so cut him allready….F@CK…..

  15. williamsburg raider Says:

    Speechless. Right after he throws a perfect shot. And I somehow knew he’d fumble, just like I knew he’d throw that int under pressure. Speechless. 7 years of this. And I still spend every Sunday with this team.

  16. raiderzride4free Says:

    the feed im watching cut out. what did jablubber do now?

  17. ColoradoRaiderFan Says:

    I hate the fact that every time we get a little momentum, a little hope, JR absolutely screws us.

    Heartbreaking.

  18. 504 Raider Says:

    Damn, Russell just can’t feel the rush. Mario still gettin beat like a drum.

  19. williamsburg raider Says:

    and we can’t expect the D to keep them in it forever.

  20. Thec07 Says:

    game was over when BRL came in…..

  21. vegas raider Says:

    You can’t sprinkle in a few bad plays with some good plays at the QB position. Just doesn’t work that way.

    Turnovers kill everything. For such a big guy, why does he fumble so much?

  22. VanHeathen Says:

    the JR Trifecta in effect…
    same CRAP different GAME!

  23. Thec07 Says:

    Morrison is garbage, trade him…

  24. mikeyd1963 Says:

    Lack of snaps, my a@@, Sims

  25. raidermarty Says:

    You can tell it just broke everyone’s spirit-

  26. Thec07 Says:

    BRL, is an overweight B!TCH….

  27. vegas raider Says:

    Now the gambling aspect comes in.

    Will they cover 10.5?

  28. El Tato Says:

    He needs to throw faster, our OL is a joke

    Thec07, I would take Schilens as the best WR on the team

  29. 504 Raider Says:

    How does Rick Ross miss that tackle. $52 million, 300+ lbs and can’t tackle a RB that weighs 100 lbs less than himself.

  30. lefty12 Says:

    how can people not see he is the anchor dragging us down-as if we need one with the old man in charge.

  31. 504 Raider Says:

    Of course it’s not our ball. What the hell we gettin worked up for? We are the Raiders.

  32. vegas raider Says:

    504,

    I think we are talking about the same run. Warren missed him, and than Kelly wiffed. Terrible

  33. dave r Says:

    another year another bummer we need help big time on the oline

  34. 504 Raider Says:

    You guys think we have a 2pt conversion play?

  35. raiderzmaverick Says:

    that’s why you don’t want jamarcus. And why I think we wdoul’ve won at least half of our games if we didn’t play this guy.

    Fumble….interception….

  36. Thec07 Says:

    El Tato, you are entitled to your opinion Bruh, Murphy is waaaay more versatile than chaz…IMHO

  37. raiderzmaverick Says:

    Why is FRYE still out??

  38. vegas raider Says:

    Intentional grounding???

    BS

  39. Thec07 Says:

    Year our 2pt conversion play is run DMAC up the middle…

  40. raiderzmaverick Says:

    Wow – I had to leave for 15 minutes and in that time Russell manages to turn it over twice.

  41. 504 Raider Says:

    Mophandle slips out the bucket yet again.

  42. Thec07 Says:

    Watch Muprhy come thru with a big, play. He is badass…

  43. raiderzmaverick Says:

    this is UGLY

  44. Thec07 Says:

    He hits murphy in stride he still running…

  45. ColoradoRaiderFan Says:

    If Russells going to stare down one receiver, then throw it, maybe he could lock on to the in single coverage, instead of always throwing into double cov.

  46. raiderzmaverick Says:

    GROUNDBALL TO CENTER FIELD BY JAMARCUS

  47. Thec07 Says:

    F
    Mr. Davis
    cable
    walker
    BRL
    DHB

    out

  48. raider91 Says:

    Fu.ck Green he is garbage.

  49. vegas raider Says:

    With that I think Shane gets his record.

    Congrats Mr. Lechler. The best punting season EVER!!

  50. VanHeathen Says:

    jr IS A FREAKIN’ HACK!

  51. 504 Raider Says:

    Ray Lewis:

    6′1” 270, 4.75 (40 time)

    No way we try to get a MLB like that.

  52. mikeyd1963 Says:

    Game over

  53. raidermarty Says:

    Big plays kill us again……..oh yeah and jamarcus too………..

  54. ColoradoRaiderFan Says:

    We know its a run, the announcers know, the 45 people in the stands know, and still our LB’s get swallowed up inside.

    If our draft priority is O line, LB has to be a close second.

  55. vegas raider Says:

    A fitting end to the season.

    2009 in a nutshell.

    I think Cable returns. Not overly excited about it, but we shall see

    Russell didn’t do himself any favors today. Two turnovers a half won’t cut it.

  56. Raider O Says:

    Vegas,

    He didn’t get the record.

  57. lefty12 Says:

    oh well,at least the donkeys(if their score holds up) and the stealers are eliminated after we lose this game.rather see Balt. in instead of either of those teams.

  58. texguy Says:

    Cut jawalrus.

  59. Richochet Says:

    Damn, Russell sucks.
    Guy seems to play like he was just handed a football last week, and given some basics.

    Worst thing that could have happened for JR was to get in today.
    If he would have shined, an offseason of “potential” talk..even from the least supportive…but now?

    Off season of BIGGEST BUST OF ALL TIME talk.

  60. raiderzmaverick Says:

    I CANT WATCH THIS ANYMORE. PEACE OUT.

  61. raiderzmaverick Says:

    AT LEAST KC KICKED DENVER OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS

  62. El Tato Says:

    SEASON OVER

    5-11

  63. 504 Raider Says:

    Ed Reed looks like Vampire in Brooklyn.

  64. texguy Says:

    I wonder if after this game if MR still thinks that jr is better than grads.

  65. vegas raider Says:

    Pick 6, 7 or 8 it looks like. Depending on what happens in the Redskins game.

  66. LT_Raider Says:

    A thought on what Russell does wrong. Basically, he reacts to the play rather than anticipates it.

    The good QBs study the D to know what the will do. They work with their receivers to anticipate where they will be. So when the play starts they already have an idea where the play is going and how the D will react. When they look down the field, they confirm what they thought rather than deciding what to do (at least, most of the time). This makes their reactions a split second faster. It also means they can throw the ball to where the play is developing rather than where it is. But Russell lacks study. That means he needs to decide what is happening before he throws. As a result, he often holds the ball too long trying to make a decision. The O line is not good enough to give him that time. As a result, he often throws off target or gets caught in a collapsing pocket and fumbles.

  67. El Tato Says:

    Please, get some LBs who can actually TACKLE in the offseason

  68. raidermarty Says:

    Well another season in the toilet……
    No question JaMarcus has to go,that performance just sealed his fate….

  69. williamsburg raider Says:

    I’m sorry if i sound liek an a**hole, but seeing the Raiders players smiling and joking makes me want to throw up. And cry.

  70. mikeyd1963 Says:

    Here’s the thing about JR (and Sims touched on this),

    It’s the end of the season and JR IS STILL OUT OF SHAPE!

    CUT JAMARCUS NOW!
