End 3rd qtr: Dolphins 23, Raiders 14
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, November 28th, 2010 at 3:23 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Third quarter notebook
– Miami picked on Walter McFadden one last time in the quarter on a 19-yard slant to Roberto Wallace, putting Miami at the Oakland 41 to open the fourth quarter.
Nnamdi Asomugha was doubled over on the sideline with an unspecified injury or condition.
– Bruce Gradkowski was late to see Jacoby Ford and then underthrew him at the goal line on a deep attempt, with Chris Clemons getting an interception in the end zone and giving Miami the ball at the 20.
— A second three and out for Raiders offense, drawing “boos’’ not “Bruuuce.’’ McFadden dumped for another loss. That’s six carries, minus-8 yards. Medium deep Gradkowski-to-Murphy play doesn’t connect.
To make matters worse, Davone Bess 47-yard punt return following a 48-yard punt sets up Miami again deep in Oakland territory.
They got no points when Dan Carpenter’s 50-yard field goal attempt was short.
— Miami has had great field position all day, and got it again to set up a 45-yard Carpenter field goal to go up 23-14. The Dolphins opened at the Oakland 44 after the Raiders punted out of their own end zone and Bess returned it to the 44.
– Raiders first possession _ three-and-out, and Gradkowski is lucky a second-and-10 forced throw to Darren McFadden was intercepted by linebacker Koa Misi.
— Bad start to second half _ Walter McFadden plays a routine out pattern to Marlon Moore into a 57-yard touchdown pass from Chad Henne. It’s a 72-yard drive in five plays and gives Dolphins a 20-14 lead.

We Will Win!!
November 28th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
KC may lose.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
3rd and 9 blitz…….for 19
Again. For about the tenth time today.
It’s not fkn working Marshall!!!!
November 28th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
Grads finally lost me.
WTF!
Mcfadden single handedly losing game for our D.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
Mcfadden might have potential but he’s killing us! first real game and he’s getting abused… and by Henne!!!
November 28th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
Yo, Nation. Be back with more thoughts tomorrow, I just wanted to get the drop on saying this: I haven’t changed my opinion on Campbell, but I have on Gradkowski. I’d acknowledged neither guy was “the guy” so to speak, but I thought Grads was the better option. I realize now there IS no good option. Both these guys suck. Flip a coin and take your pick how you want to lose, they each do it in different ways, but that’s the end result you’ll get against any half decent team.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
I dont root against any Raider, but anyone who thinks Grads is better than JC is smoking crack! That throw was late, and should’ve never been thrown. I’ll take a careful, efficient qb thanks.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
30:48 to 14:12 Not good. But the end score remains to be seen.

Where is Aig? Oh that’s right, he is a coward. F*ck you Aig.
————————–
I “wish” Aig had been right. I still wanted the team to win even with Bruce out there. I’m not a tool like him wanting the team to lose to prove my point.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
sorry it looks like season over again-they just dont have IT

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I think he thinks the only chance they have is to sack Henne, so they have to go all out and blitz.
So much for our dominant Dline, by the way. Two weeks in a row they’ve been completely out to lunch.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
“Grad gives us the best chance to win!!!” jkdfhvjkldfhkjrg
lmfaoooooooooooooooooo
hahahahahahhaha
OMG – there is NO WORDS to describe how horrible Gradkowski is!!!! he is TERRIBLE….
Hey Grad C*ck Riders….. CAMPBELL WOULD HAVE MADE THAT FORD TD…… EASILY!!!! lmaooooooooooo
omg WOW..!!!
Well, at least the Grad lovefest is ENDED
November 28th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
Could be a real boring 4th quarter if we don’t stop the run
November 28th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
Miami’s QB is playing better than ours!!!
Miami’s defense is playing better than ours!!!
Miami’s coaches are coaching better than ours!!!!
But overall I will say that this is the WORST performance I have seen from Grads since he has been a Raider!
November 28th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
I dont understand why he didnt throw it right away
no excuse
November 28th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
No blitz……sack
LOL
November 28th, 2010 at 3:27 pm
play calling not exactly pk either
November 28th, 2010 at 3:27 pm
No blitz on 3rd and look waht happens
November 28th, 2010 at 3:27 pm
Points here or its pretty much over. The phins are giving us a lot of chances missing FGs and getting penalties
November 28th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
Jason Campbell and Bruce Gradkowski both may be fighting for the same job again next year…….with the Las Vegas Loco’s

This is like the Arizona game. The other team is doing everything possible to lose the game and the Raiders can’t take advantage of it.
At least in that game we were in position to win with a last second field goal. All it takes is one TD and this game isn’t just a loss, it’s a blowout.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
“Grad makes better decisions!!!”

November 28th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
FORD FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ford working his magic again!

November 28th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
What a throw!!!
(just kidding)
November 28th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
HTF did he get that?
November 28th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
FYI
Grad underthrew that again.
Thank God for FORDS EFFORT!!!!
November 28th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
Ford is freaking amazing!
November 28th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
get miller involved now
November 28th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
Grads is gonna get Ford killed
November 28th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
at least they stayed relevant for more than a month
November 28th, 2010 at 3:31 pm
I’m pretty sure DHB will never do anything close to that
November 28th, 2010 at 3:31 pm
Lol @ Just Fire!
November 28th, 2010 at 3:31 pm
ok he’s back
November 28th, 2010 at 3:31 pm
Gotta love Ford
November 28th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
Hey…. did Ford BAIL GRAD OUT???
November 28th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
If we could clone Jacoby and have 5 of him to use at WR/return team, we’d be good to go.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
DHB is in and they dont even throw to him…
November 28th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
There is still hope, thanks to Jacoby Ford.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
Ford needs to talk to the whole team about effort and giving it your all. This kids never quits brings it every play. A solid lesson for the Raiders today.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
Ford is bailing Grads out like a bailbondsman. How many circus catches does he have to make?
November 28th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
Grad knows Ford can make him look good…
November 28th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
should just shut ford down for the year and save him for when we have a real qb. was dhb active today? can grads underthrow every pass. his arm is a joke
November 28th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
Jacoby Ford is a one man wrecking crew.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
Suprised DHB doesn’t want the game ball for that 2 yd. gain.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
Ford = Rudy
November 28th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
Amazingly we are still in this game
November 28th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
i stand corrected. he overthrew that one
November 28th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
We needed 6 there but i’ll take 3
November 28th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
Ford deserves better than this team.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
ok….time for our defense to step it up!!!
November 28th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
We need those 24 points everyone keeps talking about.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
WTF was Bruce throwing to there? There wasn’t a Raiders receiver anywhere near there.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
we need aqb thatcan reach ford…cantbell underthrows him too…
November 28th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
Bruce is killing us, but Ford is a Beast!
November 28th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
If we get a stop, Grads needs to nickle and dime them down the field and run out the clock. We need Mcfadden to get invovled more.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
BOLLER!BOLLER!BOLLER!BOLLER!
November 28th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
This QB performance is worse than Campbell or Russel.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
What if the Raiders manage to pull this game out somehow…then what does Cable do about a starting QB?
Meh. I just hope he has that problem on his hands.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
grad is hurting the team, everytime he drops back im excited/scared
November 28th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
Gradkz should not play another game.
What kind of play calling was that? Is that all HueJac and Cable can come up with?
November 28th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
I always try and support whoever is on the field, but Grad is making it very hard for me…
November 28th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
Now we need a turnover
Come on defense!
November 28th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
Need to stick to sandlot football. Our guy against theirs, no more pressure. Straight up our players are better (I use that term loosely).
November 28th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
ford is ridiculous
November 28th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
The amount of space Ford is getting.. no reason he shouldn’t have 4 TDs right now.. Campbell could make these deep throws.. grads is getting protection too.. We don’t need grads with protection
November 28th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
We need a stop
November 28th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
I wouldn’t get mad at Cable if Boller played the next series
November 28th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
Why are we only calling long passing plays? Isn’t there anything in our playbook designed to get us to 3rd and short?
November 28th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
when cantbell drops back im just scared…
November 28th, 2010 at 3:37 pm
WTF was Bruce throwing to there? There wasn’t a Raiders receiver anywhere near there.
Looked like Reece missed his route.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:37 pm
KC is not going to lose.

November 28th, 2010 at 3:37 pm
Cmon D, you know there just gonna run it.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
Since the 1970s, the object of the game on offense has been to put yourself in a position to convert on 3rd down. You can take shots occasionally, and work the deep ball if they’re giving it to you, but otherwise, the object is to get to 3rd and short. You can’t do that when you’re forcing nothing but 10 plus yard plays.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
Boller should retire tomorrow.If he can’t get on the field with the two bums in front of him he ought to give it up.

Wouldn’t the first time the defense knew the run was coming and was still helpless to stop it. Same thing in the Texans game.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
Billet throws a better deep ball, we need him in now. Ford is obviously getting open.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
u can tell nnamdi is hurt too
November 28th, 2010 at 3:39 pm

Still not worse than cambell tho
November 28th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
Nnamdi is geting burnt by white guys
November 28th, 2010 at 3:39 pm

November 28th, 2010 at 3:39 pm

November 28th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
No matter what happens today, the play calling has to be factored into it. Our play calling is a joke.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
Not gonna defend Grads too much, he’s made some awful decisions, but his yards/attempt is 9.6. That sort of game is not his strength.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
WRAP UP THE G*DDAMN TACKLE.

Who’s bright f-ing idea was it to deactivate Jeremy Ware anyway?
A hobbled Nnamdi is forced to play now and whatever injury he has is only gonna get worse because of it.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:40 pm

Most of that is inflated by YAC. If memory serves me correctly – and I have had a few drinks – that awesome catch by Ford taking away the INT is the only deep completion today.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Roasted.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Needed 7 last time.
That 3rd down incompletion was our death nail

All those highlights of Devon Bess were against Walter McFadden

November 28th, 2010 at 3:43 pm

November 28th, 2010 at 3:43 pm

Ford is playing as a 1 man team, defense can’t stop sh!t!

November 28th, 2010 at 3:43 pm

Over 6 minutes taken off the clock with that drive.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:45 pm
that was a pitiful showing by the D after a score.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:45 pm
They’re thinking about saving time with 4 min in the 4th.. even the time out coordinator is out of sync. we just let them walk 6 mins off the clock.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Kyle Boller gives us the best chance to win.

Yep. I think Cable has changed the culture somewhat and helped these guys believe in themselves, but he’s not an X’s and O’s type and that’s what this relatively young team needs: someone to teach and scheme. Cable is not good at that.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Sucks.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
How bad is Chris Johnson’s injury? Jeremy Ware? anybody have any idea?
November 28th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
Miami is a good team.
Not sure why everyone was so confidant this week.
I will have way more confidence when we play SD next week in a victory.
Miami is the exact type of physical, ball-control, well coached team that has whupped on us for the last decade
November 28th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
Sparano’s excited.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
39:34 to 16:23 Better hope Miami doesn’t touch the ball again.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
“Monkeys in Raider attire” LOL
November 28th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
This would be a completely different posetion if we had a TD instead of a FG on our last posetion.
Thanks Grad.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
All I know is I don’t want to read sh!t about Grads being better then anyone. Our QB’s suck equally. Right now I say Boller gives us the best chance to win, he is far more accurate on deep throws. KC taking command of the west, we once again are back to our old sorry a$$ selves again.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
Any thoughts of a winning season should be over if they don’t rally.
And unless is another Ford kickoff run, I can’t see Gradkz pulling this game.
Maybe Campbell is worst, but that bad, yikes.
Walter McFadden should get the loser game ball, he’s that bad.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
Unless we somehow beat SD, 8-8 is probably the best possible record and will be something to build on through the draft and FA.

We had nothing in our gameplan to put us in 3rd and short situations. Just vertical game. The coaching staff and the players didn’t lose this one. The owner did.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
Grads has stunk it up today. He let the Nation down today BIG TIME!
He and Campbell don’t deserve their paychecks for the last two weeks of pitiful performances on the field.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
After the Pittsburgh game, I said we were finishing 7-9…and I thought the Raiders would win this game.
Now? 6-10. Denver does seem to be worse than us, so there’s that much. And hey, it’s more than 5 wins!
Sigh.

Coach Cable isn’t giving Campbell enough of a chance to prove himself. It looks like rumors that Cable has a personal preference for Gradkowski is true … probably because they are both blue collar kind of guys and all that. Heck of a reason to choose your starting QB isn’t it?
November 28th, 2010 at 3:49 pm

Now? 6-10. Denver does seem to be worse than us, so there’s that much. And hey, it’s more than 5 wins!

But that extends the NFL record for consecutive double-digit loss seasons. I don’t claim any moral victory over that extra win this season.

For all our speed the WR can’t get away from coverage. This team isn’t anywhere near what we thought it was. I think they are better, but that’s not saying much.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:51 pm
OK MR, I opened my eyes and see it.
This crap is Al Davis’ fault. We get outcoached just about every game and we can’t counter because Al hired the assistants before the Head Coach. He hires coaches without the input of the head guy and that’s our biggest problem. Our coaches barely even know each other.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:51 pm
So, who’s the next coach?
In a happy world: Gruden or Harbaugh.
In actuality? Jim Fassel or Kevin Gilbride.
God help us all.

Uh, because the game was winnable?
We had nothing in our gameplan to put us in 3rd and short situations. Just vertical game. The coaching staff and the players didn’t lose this one. The owner did.

Come on man! Even for you, that is a stretch. You can blame Al signing two crap QBs and drafting DHB, but this game was not lost because of the game plan.

November 28th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
This team doesn’t deserve to play in front of sold out crowds.
We suck and our heads got to big after a win streak. We are not even close at competing at the next level. I’m die hard, wear the shield on my sleeve (tattoo) but I have completely lost faith in this unit. I will always support my team but this is getting ridiculous. No coaching, marginal talent at positions of great need. With the names on this team and draft status we should be way better then we have been showing.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
Campbell 4-2, #5 1-2 going on 1-3

and there is the long play we have all been dredding.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
Myths busted today;
Grads is more accurate-see last pass
Grads moves the chains — see time of possesion
Grads puts points on board – 10
Grads doesn’t get blown out –
The Grads myth has been busted, back to the drawing board.
Cable benching a qb who just went 3-1, bye bye Tom.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
Well, pray for a miracle against Indy or San Diego, because short of that there will be no playoffs this year. Sorry folks.

What can the OC do when the QB can’t throw the ball. This is all on #5
November 28th, 2010 at 3:58 pm
TWo TD’s and two 2 point coversions and we can tie!!!!
(lol)
November 28th, 2010 at 3:58 pm
Well at least Bruce gets another shot to improve his stats on the day. He’s at a 58.8 passer rating so far.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:58 pm
i ve watched every phins game this year. they’re not that good, we just suck @ss. unless not having marshall made them play that much better.

November 28th, 2010 at 3:59 pm
I will say this, I think this pretty effectively cinches Campbell as our QB the rest of the season. Whether that’s a good or bad thing, I leave to you to determine.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:59 pm
Funny, there are still 10 minutes in the other games that started around 1:15… funny
November 28th, 2010 at 3:59 pm
that int in the endzone kind of told the story of the whole game.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:59 pm
Well if there’s anything good about this, Ricky Williams had a good game. I always root for him. He was done wrong by the NFL establishment.
November 28th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
Man this is the most disappointing loss all season hands down. This one miserable performance completely wipes out any positives the RAIDERS had established to date.In 2 games we have managed to completely become unraveled as a team and all the old questions come creeping back.
MAN THIS SUCKS!
November 28th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
I don’t think our season is over.. we do actuall have a chance if SD and KC falter.. but we need JC or Boller.. We need a hard nose Coach next year. like Cowher. unlikely but that’s the kind of coach we need
November 28th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
Gradkowski’s 58.8 QB rating is actually four times better than Campbell’s game in SF and twice that of his in Pittsburgh.
Bruce isn’t any good, but at his worst (today) is nothing like Campbell at his worst.
November 28th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
Oops, forgot the second half of my thought:
That means we’ll at least have stability at the QB position, even if the guy is less than talented.
November 28th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
nice knowing u bruce. have fun in the ufl where u belong… take cable & company with you. losers
November 28th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
The Raiders had a good chance of beating the Dolphins at home because Brandon Marshall is injured. This is a bummer. I think Cable should have started Campbell. THAT could have made a difference. Oh well.
November 28th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
Having the ref to block for Miami helped them too on that play.smh

Keep Gradkowski, use a better offensive gameplan. We were pushing the ball all day. Then, the irony is, when we needed quick points at the end, suddenly then we start using more high percentage passing plays to move the chains. The coaches obviously made a deal with Al that they could start Gradkowski as long as they didn’t ditch the vertical.

Weak, man. You lose the game whether it’s 58.8 or a fraction of that.

And we’ll be 6-10.
November 28th, 2010 at 4:03 pm
Garbagekowski blows big time, we defend him like he has actually done a damn thing. Cambell has a better Win Loss record and Cable dumps him, yet the Garbage man sucks it up and you leave him in to watch the slow dying death.
November 28th, 2010 at 4:03 pm
No way we beat SD. 5-7? We’ll be lucky to go 6-10. Another double digit loss season when we thought we were going to playoffs. Ha. What a joke.
Same old Raiders.
November 28th, 2010 at 4:04 pm
Remember, Jamarucs Russell’s 2008 QB rating was way better than what we have combined this year (and better than Campbell by himself this year).
I hate Jamarucs, but that is a pretty sobering thought.

I love how when Ford bailed Campbell out of a crappy pass against KC, it was “Campbell gave him a chance to make a play and Ford made it!”
But when Ford bails Grads out of a crappy pass today it’s “That proves Bruce sucks, Ford shouldn’t have had to take it away”
Grads haters are just as blind as the lovers.
November 28th, 2010 at 4:05 pm
I’m saying Gradkowski sucks, he obviously proved it today.
But Campbell sucks too. Obviously, because they watched Bruce all year and still chose him, lol
November 28th, 2010 at 4:06 pm
Al sabotaged Gradkowski. Forced the coaches to use the archaic game plan today. I saw nothing on offense all day today to get us to 3rd and short, which is what you have to have in today’s league. We just forced the ball all day. No QB could have pulled it off. Al pulled an old corporate managerial move today. He put an employee he doesn’t want into a position where he was destined to fail, so that he could point to it on his review.
November 28th, 2010 at 4:06 pm
246-Just like he bailed out Campbell.Face it they both suck and neither one should be starting.
November 28th, 2010 at 4:06 pm
this piece of trash “qb” is what “raider nation” supposedly wanted???? cable & whoever else supported bruce needs to go if they think that little guy give them the best chance to win. losing record as starter & thrown more ints than tds.

2)Cable went from coach of the year canidate to on the hot seat again by buying into the hype and yanking Campbell.

November 28th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
What difference does it make if DHB clear out or not. Yea I said he was missed, either way your god Garbagekowski couldn’t throw it that far anyway. So why bother covering deep.
November 28th, 2010 at 4:11 pm

DHB wasnt on the field alot…so stop bashing the guy that didnt even play
intersting notes
1. Hue has to be a better play caller. (DMAc has to be a factor)
2. Grad is not a even an avg QB and he lost us the game.
3. The def was to rattled in the first half
4. walter Mcfadden should be on the practice squad
5. nnamdi was not 100% and it showed
6. where was Z miller at????
7. Ford is gonna be a star in this league( he single handledly contributed to every pt we scored)
8. Oline pass protected very well today, Valdeer is def an answer for us at tackle.
9. Raiders get out coached alot

It’s Al’s fault.
It’s the play calling. I said that last night. Duh!
No QB could’ve won using these calls.
It’s anything but Grad sucks.
How many more excuses do the Grad lovers have?
Grad sucks and he gets hurt all the darn time.
He couldn’t sustain any drives, threw two ints, threw late, etc. Why people want this clown, I don’t know??
