Raiders-Broncos post-game observations
By Steve Corkran
Tuesday, September 13th, 2011 at 12:38 am in Oakland Raiders.
Not sure if the way the Raiders played against the Denver Broncos on Monday night is exactly what coach Hue Jackson had in mind when he said he wants to build a bully, but Jackson no doubt will take the 23-20 victory without hesitation.
The Raiders beat the Broncos despite committing 15 penalties for 131 yards and passing for only 105 yards. Just the same, they rushed for 191 yards, held the Broncos to 38 yards rushing and sacked Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton five times.
Jackson said the process of building a bully started Monday night. It’s evident that the Raiders make significant progress in terms of establishing a physical, pounding rushing attack, as well as relying upon a defensive line rotation that keeps up the pressure from start to finish.
It’s also evident, as Jackson cautioned long ago, that the process of building a bully is going to take longer than one game.
So, count Monday night’s game as a nice start.
*Running back Darren McFadden rushed for a game-high 150 yards in his first game action this season. He missed all four exhibition games because of a fractured orbital bone, as well as Jackson’s reluctance to expose his star back to further injury before the real games started.
Jackson’s hunch that McFadden would be ready for the Broncos game paid off in spades. McFadden ran over, through, around and past Broncos defenders for three quarters before punctuating his night with a 47-yard run to the Broncos 1-yard line that set up the game-clinching touchdown.
After that, Jackson turned to 245-pound backup Michael Bush to throw around his muscular body at a beleaguered Broncos defense.
That strategy worked to perfection, as it has so often in the past. The Broncos wanted nothing to do with Bush plowing straight into the line, and Bush was able to churn out enough yards to help the Raiders run out the clock.
McFadden and Bush combined for 180 yards. It’s mind-boggling to imagine what the Raiders can do once they figure out a way to incorporate rookie running back Taiwan Jones into the mix.
Jones didn’t play Monday night, but he won’t sit idle for very long based on the explosiveness he showed in the exhibition season.
*The Raiders snapped an eight-game losing streak in regular-season openers. They last won a season-opening game in 2002, the season they advanced to the Super Bowl.
The Raiders also won a Monday night game for the first time since 2002, snapping a string of seven straight losses.
Finally, the victory before a national TV audience ended an 11-game losing streak in such games.
*The Raiders made two roster moves after initially reaching the 53-man limit Sept. 3. One of those involved re-signing veteran safety Matt Giordano.
Giordano validated that decision by forcing a fumble, intercepting a pass, forcing Orton into a hurried throw on a third-down play and nearly recovering a fumble.
Giordano and Jerome Boyd played a great deal Monday night and showed that they can be counted upon to make plays in subsequen games.
*Linebacker Darryl Blackstock is another one of the handful of veteran free agents signed before this season started. He, too, made his presence felt right away.
Blackstock blocked a Broncos punt in the first quarter that set up a Raiders score.
*Broncos punt returner Eric Decker returned a punt 90 yards for a touchdown that cut the Raiders lead to 16-10.
Decker had two more opportunities to turn around the game, but both times he was tackled in the open field by special teams standout Rock Cartwright.
That’s the primary reason the Raiders brought back Cartwright for a second season. What he lacks in size, he more than makes up for in experience, knowledge and determination.
*For some reason, Jackson made veteran wide receiver Derek Hagan one of the seven Raiders inactive Monday night.
Jackson said throughout training camp that he would play players based on their performance in practice and exhibition games.
Rookie receiver Denarius Moore is the only other receiver who played at or near Hagan’s level the past six weeks or so. Yet, Hagan wasn’t deemed valuable enough to play Monday.
Still awaiting word from Jackson and Hagan on the thought process that went into the move. Hagan injured his calf in practice early last week, but he was at full strength by the end of the week.
*Third-year wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey had one of the better games of his NFL career. He caught four passes for 44 yards and turned two of those into key first downs.
He also caught a deep pass from quarterback Jason Campbell, but he wasn’t able to stay in bounds. The stats for Heyward-Bey weren’t eye-opening, but he made a significant contribution in the passing game and didn’t drop any passes.
*Kicker Sebastian Janikowski tied an NFL record with a 63-yard field goal just before halftime.
His previous best was 61 yards in 2009, on the road, against the Cleveland Browns. The record-tying field goal proved to be the difference in the game.
That’s what prompted managing general partner Al Davis to use a first-round pick on Janikowski in the 2000 NFL draft.
ESPN showed footage of Janikowski converting a 70-yard field goal in pre-game warm-ups. His deep kick-offs also prevented the Broncos from returning any of his five kicks.
*Veteran offensive lineman Stephon Heyer had a Raiders debut to forget.
He subbed for starter Khalif Barnes at right offensive tackle on a handful of plays and also played the position a handful of times when Barnes was used as an extra blocker.
In one forgettable sequence, Heyer committed false-start penalties on back-to-back snaps. He later whiffed on a block on a play in which Campbell got sacked and fumbled.
*The Raiders finished one sack shy of the league lead last season. They got off to a nice start Monday with a five-spot.
Defensive tackle Richard Seymour recorded two of the five sacks. Tommy Kelly and Matt Shaughnessy added one each. The fifth was credited as a team sack.

Number 1 defense? Whewwww let’s chill out on that SnB
==========================================
Nope….of clear mind and spirit.
If the Raiders make it hard to run the ball….they are really tough to deal with…..as long as the D-Line gets rotated and they use Henderson well
I am going to say it…#1 defense in the league.
When you can’t run the ball…everything else falls apart with a good pass rush.
#1 Defense…..Oakland Raiders
Mix of blitzes, zones, a MLB making calls and adjustments and D-Line that’s abusing people.

September 13th, 2011 at 12:46 am
When Hue was mad last week I think it was, you know it was because AD told him Hagan is not going to play over his pets. There is no other explanation of why he wasn’t active for tonight’s game. A ein is a win and I will take it, however, it goes to show you Al is still meddling with the team. The old man needs to let the best players play, regsrdless of contracts.
September 13th, 2011 at 12:46 am
Dilfer was right to say that the D-Line should be credited when the o-line holds
How many holds?
The D-Line is doing it with a bunch of big guys coming at them and a pro-bowler in the middle.
I am looking forward to seeing Buffalo become a 1-dimensinal team
September 13th, 2011 at 12:47 am
What I saw tonight:
The playcalling was creative in the beginning, but ford had jitters and whiffed on a couple. Hue went to a ground and pound approach. And it worked. Denver looked beat up from the feet after that McFadden (touchdown) run in the fourth.
The D looks viscous up front and, well yes, in coverage. Aside from the end of the game when we were in prevent, they held the Broncos in check. The 30% completion rate wasn’t because Orton and Lloyd(the #1 receiver last year) are awful; it’s because our D was playing that good.
Shonasty’s sack where his helmet flew off was pure perfection. I mean, he hit him so hard his own helmet went flying. Marbles.
DHB came through in the clutch. Nice to see; for his confidence and for this team.
The return TD by Denver should’ve been called back for that block in the back. But the team didn’t let themselves get down.
They also never rescinded the lead once they got it. That right there’s the biggest stat that stands out right now…
September 13th, 2011 at 12:48 am
Im sure we are ranked 1st against the run, lets keep it up
September 13th, 2011 at 12:48 am
Raiders #1 defense, you keep speaking the truth, Silver & Black; and let no man squelch you!

Is it just me or did McFadden really score a TD on the run they spotted at the 1 inch line?
September 13th, 2011 at 12:51 am
I wanna see all the chump nerds who were crying about how our D would be weak hahahahaha, they were the strong point tonight. They played ALOT, the Offense couldn’t do dittly, besides my boy Run DMC. Kudos to the Raider D!
big test in Buffalo this week. They too have a star WR, and while their pass rush sucks, they’re stout against the run. Let’s hope Huff and Ford are ok, although I bet Ford will be out for a while since he’s dealing with a hammy..here’s to relying on Chaz next week! (GULP)1-0 Nation, 1-0

It had to be at least 3-4, that I can remember and those are just the ones the refs called. Raiders sacks would have doubled, the loss of down would have been there as well as the loss of yardage.
September 13th, 2011 at 12:55 am
I think the Raiders chose not to challenge Mr. McFadden’s non called touchdown, as it allowed them to run more time off the clock.

September 13th, 2011 at 12:58 am
Looks like Elvis Dumervil(shoulder) and Champ Bailey (left knee) got injured tonight; along with a couple others… Does that count towards the Bully campaign?
September 13th, 2011 at 12:58 am
I order for that to happen SnB the offense must be very efficient we cannot struggle penalty wise. WE must be able to habe a go to rec’r or two fro 3rd down efficiency. IOW your offense has a lot to say about how good your defense will be. Personnel wise I think we have a top5 defense but again those factors I mentioned must be in order. We also have to have a plus double digit t/o ratio by taking the ball away and the offense keeping it.
September 13th, 2011 at 12:58 am

September 13th, 2011 at 1:03 am
DMC definitely scored on the 47 yarder and what a run that’s the kind of run that will get him compared to OJ Simpson. That is who he’s starting remind of his cutting ability and vision are second to none.
Guys we haven’t even shown our offense yet and it may take until week 4 vs the Pat’s before we do because we were playing with one hand behind our back.
September 13th, 2011 at 1:03 am
Mr. McFadden 22 rushes for 150 yards, 6.8 ave., [once again three carries for over 20 yards];
Mr. Bush 9 carries for 30 yards, 3.0 ave, key gains and a 1st down in the final drive;
Mr. Reece 1 carry for 11 yards, 11.0 ave
Raiders averaged 4.7 yards a carry and that includes the negative yards Mr. Campbell accepted the sacrifice thereof at the end of the game.
Raiders gave up only 1 sack!
Raiders offensive line had an excellent game, it would have been an awesome game, but the 4 false starts (Mr. Wisniewski – 1 ,Mr. Heyer – 2, Mr. Barnes -1); well the Raiders know what they need to focus on.
September 13th, 2011 at 1:04 am
McFadden was clearly in,another bs call against us,but we overcame and it didn’t mean squat.Let them try and screw us-it won’t do any good this year.
September 13th, 2011 at 1:05 am
I thought everything was great with two exceptions.
1) Too much celebration at the end of the 1st half when Jano hit the field goal. You would have thought the game was over.
2) Gatorade bath for coach Jackson, come on it’s one game not the Superbowl!
September 13th, 2011 at 1:15 am
Two things the Raiders need to work on,
penalties (false starts offense & off sides on defense); there were at least 4 of one 2-3 of the other; Raiders even had two penalties on the same play at least twice; key penalties when it was 2nd or 3rd and long, which leads to the other item
Raiders need to shut a team down when they have the opponent 3rd and double digit yards; I swear when we have a team 3rd and short we stop them almost every time, 3rd & 15+ we either give up a big play or commit an illegal contact or pass interference almost every time.
September 13th, 2011 at 1:21 am
HUE deserved the Gatorade shower. 1-0.
September 13th, 2011 at 1:21 am
A win is a win. But the Raiders will not get many more of them unless they take immediate action to correct the penalties. Time and again foolish penalties kept the Broncos in the game.
September 13th, 2011 at 1:23 am
Janokowski tied the FG RECORD! End of half with lead in DEN after Jano nails 63 yarder, they can hug the guy and smile. Let this young squad enjoy the good and iron out the bad.
September 13th, 2011 at 1:24 am
hope seymour’s ok
September 13th, 2011 at 1:24 am
THE BAD: We have up a a td special teams…Porter missed the tackle..what is Myers doing out there..cartwrite got blasted it and boyd took a terrible angle

Someone pat Janitor in the closet for booting a Tom Dempsey tying field goal record! Was it deja vue again or game day jitters. Let’s cut down on the penalties and be the first in league to lead it! This team woll need the coaches to ride their back this season to excelled at all phases of the game! Go RAIDERS!
September 13th, 2011 at 1:33 am
Buffalo in only six days,
I hope the Raiders are eating right, getting plenty of rest [nothing good happens at 2:00 AM], then focus on practice, get ready for the Bills.
Mr. Vehldeer & Co. will have to take on a DL that had a good run defense against Kansas City, but they did only get to their qb once or twice, so we should keep Mr. Jason Campbell upright again.
September 13th, 2011 at 1:34 am
Did Mr. Bruce Campbell or Mr. Barksdale even play tonight or were they both inactive?
September 13th, 2011 at 1:38 am
Should the Raiders sign Tatupu to help shore up their linebacker unit, or another vested veteran, I expect to see Mr. Miller be cut as he was irrelevant tonight, and letting that one punt return that he could have fair caught at the 15 yard line bounce to the 2 yard line, might have just sealed his fate.
September 13th, 2011 at 1:40 am
Oh yeah, DMAC is the league-leading rusher right now…

In the most meaningless games ESPN have showed replays that most NFL fan could care less about but ESPN chooses not to review a highlight reel play.ESPN needs to keep the balance of interest for all NFL fans around the the world and replay pivital plays for all teams and fans to view.
September 13th, 2011 at 1:53 am
Shark, I read a few blog posts on Silver & Black Pride that mentioned something about Mr. Ford being injured as well, nothing concrete, they seemed to be wondering the same.

All these guys at BSPN focus on are the penalties, because they are HATERS! I know for a fact that the Monday night games have way more camera angles than regular Sunday games. Unless it’s the Nationally televised game, which is only 3. 10:00, 1:00, and the Sunday night game.
September 13th, 2011 at 2:08 am
They showed 4different angles of our interception, but only two angles (poor ones at that) of the McFadden run.
September 13th, 2011 at 2:11 am
Would’ve liked to have seen the Raiders smoke Denver, but a win is a win and we are tied for first right now in the AFC West (primary goal is still on track). Run game is a beast, run defense is solid, QB pressure is strong, and I am now convinced that Mario Henderson has put a curse on the number 75!!

September 13th, 2011 at 3:43 am
I can’t remember who said on this forum that Marcel Reese was ineffective for our team, but I think they are eating mass amounts of the crap that they usually spew tonight.
Campbell looked alright tonight. Nothing spectacular, but he kept his composure. The O-Line did their job despite some flaws.
Still waiting for the Taiwan Jones appearance. More than likely, it probably won’t happen for some time. I’m also looking for Denarius Moore to blaze out some routes. I hope we get him on the slants. Props to DHB.
My main concerns with the team are with the coverage and missed tackles on the LBs, S, and CBs. McClain getting exposed, Quentin Groves constantly failing assignment coverage and getting ran around, Chris Johnson was not that effective, Giordano(AWESOME, nice pick up!), Stanford Routt has a little work cut out for him(lots of tests down field). There were a lot of close calls on 3rd down situations and failures on 3rd down.
Bottom line is, if our pass coverage gets exposed every game like this, we’re lucky to see 8 wins this season. BUT with enough pass rushing and blitzing from our safeties, I think we might be ok. The program still looks like a re-hash from last year with a slight possibility of a wild card slot. That’s a boast on my part.
September 13th, 2011 at 4:08 am
good win, but againts a team like the pats,jets, or anybody who is “good” we are going to struggle and get our ass handed to us. if j.c. would quit throwing the fn ball out of bounds on deep throws and quit dumping the ball off on every other play we could win.
September 13th, 2011 at 4:25 am
Ray Lewis set the standard for the Baltimore defense, most particularly the linebackers. Year after year they are at or near the top as a unit. Great linebacker play is tradition with the Ravens.
Between last year and a fantastic start to the current one, our D-line has performed very, very well.
Here’s hoping that Waufle and Big Rich can get a tradition of their own going in Oaktown.
September 13th, 2011 at 4:44 am
Giordano looks like the early MUP…

against a pretty bad Broncos D… Campbells performance leaves plenty of room to worry. It’s not like this is an aberration. This has been the issue that plagued him his whole career.
He can’t make a decision and let it fly!!
Sorry, I enjoy the win… I thought DMAC was electric. I thought our D Line was on beast mode. The secondary help up well for all the scrutiny they have come under. And the OL protected good enough for Jason CANDLE.
But the fact remains, if we played NY or NE and even Buffalo the way we did last night. We would have been served.
Bottom line, our defense is not going to be good enough for Campbell to simply just “not make any mistakes”. So he HAS to play better. Period.

The PI call on Routt late was so BS and ESPN effed up and exposed it too. The flag was thrown before the ball, how can you get pass interference!

Seriously though fellers, it may sound cheezy, but I believe in the powers of me drinking Killians Irish Red when we play Denver.
I’ve sat down and drank that crap (don’t really like it) 4 times in the last 10 years. All 4 times, were when the Raiders played IN Denver.
And all 4 times we have won.

Ford got outplayed by DHB … don’t sugarcoat it
September 13th, 2011 at 6:19 am
JCamp with 2 TD’s and no INT’s
sacked once
105 yards passing
That’s about what I expected. That’s all we’ll need from him to make the playoffs
completed less than 60 % of his passes though. He was completing over 70 % during the preseason …

DHB will get 1000yards this year!!!!

did he get traded to New England?

HOW THE HELL DO 2 RAIDERS FALL ON A FUMBLE AND THE BRONCO STILL GETS THE BALL BACK..
September 13th, 2011 at 6:22 am
Mornin’ a.m. crew!
Sweet smell of victory is in the air, no matter how raggedly achieved.
Some thoughts:
-Willing to give Campbell a pass for now because the conditions were bad, the pass protection spotty, the receivers not getting open and the plan was to run the ball anyway. That said, the key phrase is “for now.” He has GOT to be better than he was last night.
-DMac. John Holmes level stud. ‘Nuff said.
-DHB. Good job not dropping anything. He’s STILL catching everything with his body, though, which limits ability to get yards after catch. Baby steps, I guess.
-Jacoby Ford was either drunk or had a severe case of the jitters last night. Forgettable game.
-Give it up for Marcel Reece who did some good run blocking last night. Speaking of which…
-That offensive line did WONDERS run blocking last night. All 5 of ‘em were just mauling the Denver front 7.
-Pass protection was leaky at times, particularly on the right side, but so much for Dumervil and Miller become stars in front of the world’s eyes last night, huh? Miller had a great first play and was largely invisible after that. Dumervil did squat. Veldheer especially shut them both down (I noticed Miller was being moved to the weakside at times to rush). Guess all that hard work is paying off for Jared.
-That defensive line could be something special if Seymour can stay healthy. I give major props to Chucky B for the way he was using them last night…all 8 were rotating in and out constantly, Houston was alternating between DT and DE, Seymour played some DE, Wimbley was playing with his hand down a good bit…the Broncos O-line had no idea who was coming from where. Applause to Bresnahan. Hope he proves me wrong.
-Deep thought: The best way to improve the run defense is to play with a lead
-Groves had some nice plays in run support but looked a bit lost in pass defense, I thought. Still, not too bad from the weakest link in the front 7. Wimbley was living in the backfield and didn’t look out of place defending the pass. I would’ve liked to have seen more activity from RoMac, but when the front 4 is dominating like that, it’s hard for the MLB to make many plays. He looks 10,000% better defending the pass this year. My favorite thing was that not once did I see the defense running around confused trying to get lined up.
-The secondary was good-not-great. Kudos to Giordano and Boyd for making their big shots count. DVD even had good coverage on one play!
-This game would’ve been an utter massacre if the Raiders had played with the slightest bit of discipline. Anytime you spot the opposing team over 100 yards and still win, you were your own worst enemy. I know it’s Monday night season opener and the Donkeys are horrible p!ssants it’s fun to punch, but teams like the Jets, Pats, Bears and Packers will eat us alive if that schit doesn’t go away immediately. To me, that’s got to be HueJax’s #1 concern.

DHB looked pretty good last night. I have to give him his props. Even on that ball that led him out of bounds. If he could have taken some choppy steps at the end, he may have gotten it, but that was a circus catch just to get it. And it exposes Jason Campbell’s inacurate deep ball.
I will look forward to eating more DHB crow next Sunday at Buffalo.

Steve, you called Darryl Blackstock being a surprise bubble player to make the team and he justified it with the blocked punt. Nice!
September 13th, 2011 at 6:30 am
I thought that deep pass would have been perfect if DHB tried to catch the ball at eye level with his hands.
I rewound it, and when he caught it, it was with his forearms at his hip, yet he still had a little hop to catch the ball and his feet weren’t under him.
Soup could have thrown a better ball, but the priority on sideline balls is not catching the ball it is having your feet in.
September 13th, 2011 at 6:33 am
Routt basically wore #21 last night. Orton couldn’t tell the difference

Loved that pass breakup when he read the receiver’s (Lloyd?) eyes and got his hand in there at the exact right moment. Don’t agree with people who think he got away with PI; I thought it was a spectacular, clean play

On that 4th and one, when Campbell made it on the sneak, look at the O-linemen all getting low, generating leverage. That was a win across the line. Manhandled the Broncos. Good stuff!
September 13th, 2011 at 6:46 am
Quick thoughts:
McFadden: The best player on the field, not even close.
Giordano: Exactly what we need. MM34 who?
Shaunessy: A Pro. Is Seymore tutoring him? this kid is for real.
WRs: Really missed Hagan & Boss. DHB would be so much better if he had a possesion receiver to play with.
September 13th, 2011 at 6:46 am
I was disappointed in the 3rd quarter ‘lull’. The intensity dropped off, and the 4 man rush wasn’t nearly as effective as in the first half. Chucky B finally dialed up the blitzes in the 4th. But against better teams, we can’t afford to let them back into games. Not when JCamp is throwing for 100 yards.
September 13th, 2011 at 6:48 am
No lie. Ford was a major disappointment last night.
***********************
Jacoby is too young a player to try and be productive early missing most of camp. He will be alright. I wonder if that hand injury played into that fumble early.
September 13th, 2011 at 6:48 am
Why didn’t they get Denarius Moore going? All he had was an end around that was nullified by the flag. He should have been used more.
September 13th, 2011 at 6:50 am
Wasn’t the o/u for the game 42? It’s weird how Vegas always knows these things.
September 13th, 2011 at 6:50 am
Giordano: Exactly what we need. MM34 who?
**********************
Giordano was outstanding playing the single high safety, wish the rest of secondary would take some ques from him on breaking on the ball.
Ill tell you where we missed MM34, covering TEs. Daniel Fells had a much better game than he should have.
September 13th, 2011 at 6:52 am
In afterthought. I am surprised the game was so close. Oak looked the better team at all times, yet couldnt chalk it in the scoreboard. The passing game is in urgent need of a possesion WR
September 13th, 2011 at 6:52 am
Raiiidders! Sloppy but we lose that game few years ago. This year we win, love it. Up next taking down ivy league boy
September 13th, 2011 at 6:54 am
Truth be told, good teams find a way to win road games despite adversity. If we clean up the penalties and keep that defensive intensity up we could be poised for a playoff run.

Another thing. Get Jacoby in punt and kickoff returns. the kid is a monster in space, get him going in special teams.
September 13th, 2011 at 6:57 am
I think Hagan was inactive from missing time last week, I dont think that happens next week. Conditions in Buffalo are forecast for 70 and sunny, so I hope to see our passing game improve, also Buffalos #1 cb is out for the game.

Truth is, the league is always looking to penalize the Raiders. We got to accept that as a ‘handicap’ and don’t let it get us down. I loved the front 7 substitutions that kept our guys fresh. That was what sustained the intensity. That front defensive 7 and backup depth is going to win a lot of games.
Said it for years. FIX-THE-LINES.
Last night, the Raider lines owned the Broncos.

September 13th, 2011 at 7:01 am
I think of our 15 penalties only 2 were questionable. False starts are false starts and they will get called every single time. What did we have, 6 of them?
September 13th, 2011 at 7:02 am
Best stat of the night… 38 rushing yards allowed.
September 13th, 2011 at 7:02 am
Gotta give Brian Dawkins love. That is why people love NFL, players like Dawkins going all out all the time, would trade Branch for Dawkins in a heartbeat.
September 13th, 2011 at 7:05 am
Yeah, the penalities. I agree, perhaps 2 pass interference calls were BS. So many O-line false starts are ridiculous.
September 13th, 2011 at 7:06 am
What sucks about the false starts is that they practiced at night with piped in noise to replicate the game conditions, and still jumped offsides. No excuse for that.

The Raiders physically beat up the Broncos on Monday night, a problem that could last well into this week for Denver.
Four key Broncos starters need MRIs Tuesday according to Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post. Defensive end Elvis Dumervil (shoulder), cornerback Champ Bailey (hamstring), Brandon Lloyd (groin), and Knowshon Moreno (hamstring) all suffered injuries.
September 13th, 2011 at 7:14 am
“t the Raiders make significant progress in terms of establishing a physical, pounding rushing attack, as well as relying upon a defensive line rotation that keeps up the pressure from start to finish.”
This is going to be the key..until the face the Pats, where they will simply have to throw the ball to keep up. that’s going to be a track meet. They give constant match up problems with Woodhead underneath and Wes Welker in the slot. OchoCinco is an after thought in that offense. The Jet game will be a ground and pound test to be sure, too.
September 13th, 2011 at 7:15 am
The Raiders are still the dumbest team in football. Drawing two unnecessary roughness penalties on 3rd and 10 is just ridiculous. If someone shoves you after the whistle, the smart thing to do is wave your arms in the air and fall down so the refs call the foul on the other team. And Rolando McClain is an idiot. He can’t make a tackle, but he acts all tough after the play is over.
September 13th, 2011 at 7:23 am
Raiders should beat up on Buffalo next week if the D-line brings the same effort as last night because their offensive line is a horror show. Even in their 41-7 beatdown of KC they looked shaky at times and gave up a sack to Tamba Hali. I attribute that score more to KC’s ineptness than I do Buffalo’s skill.
That said, a coast-to-coast travel on a short week could lead to a major letdown

Most opening games look like last nights game. It’s basically shaking off the rust. It amazed me that our biggest concern,, the defense turned out to be the biggest asset. The rush defense 38yds?? Wow! Stan Routt,, not surprised at all. His real test will come against Tom Brady,,I predicted 3 sacks and 1 pick and DMAC running all over Denver so I with the 5 sacks I was pretty close. With the rain and a wet ball I didn’t expect the passing game to be much of a factor, so I’m not mad at JC. What concerns me are the penalties,, we had almost as many penalty yards as DMAC had rushing yards. Decades have passed and we still commit the same stupid penalties,,,that’s how Denver was even able to score on us aside from the punt return. DMAC can easily capture the rushing title this year, oh and like it or not we gota give props to Quinten Groves,,he held his own out there with the rest of ‘em. We gota lil’ ways to go but to start off the season with a win, which we haven’t done it what,,8yrs? That could give this young team hella confidence and that can take a team to a 10 win season and a playoff birth. Now let’s not fall asleep on the Bills.
Raiders-30 Bills-23
September 13th, 2011 at 7:34 am
The bomb to DHB would have been 6 if not underthrown and out of bounds. Complaining about how DHB catches the ball is like complaining that Janos 63 yd FG wasn’t right down the middle.
September 13th, 2011 at 7:38 am
anyone miss Cable? LMAO.. Huejack is the real deal. loved the way he handled himself last night. he kept his poise throughout and called an excellent game. My only concern is way we always go shotgun inside the 10, it takes away the pitch to dmac and we seem to always get stuck when we are between the 5 and 10yd line. Otherwise, i thought it was a special night. DMAC is the best all around running back in the league, so impressed on how he blows up blitzers. I really thought JC was very poised throughout the game and although his stats werent awesome but he did what was necessary to win. although i was surprised at DHB contribution, i had high hopes for our WRs to contribute more. Big props to our DL who made our LBs and CBs lives so much better.
September 13th, 2011 at 7:43 am
Props to the D. Postpone the “Fire ChukyB” for later…Rod Woodson looked like he was ready to strap a helmet and get in there…We need a Rod Woodson at WR coach, that Sanjay Lal is a piece of garbage.
Dline looked awesome. Props to Grooves, he was flying around. Hope Mclain gets it sooner rather than later, still looks slow out there.
September 13th, 2011 at 7:50 am
Quick question:
Has Nick Miller been FIRED yet? For not fair catching that punt at the 20….Idiot…
September 13th, 2011 at 7:50 am
Willing to stay the execution of ChuckyB. The 3rd and longs were well defended and they allowed them just enough garbage yardage, but never enough. Kept the play in front of them and defensive backfield assignments were disciplined.
September 13th, 2011 at 7:51 am
Jason threw a lot of bad passes. I won’t defend him. But DHB could have caught that inbounds. He doesn’t display good awareness of where he is like a 1st round receiver should. Even Giordano knows how to do it. LOL
September 13th, 2011 at 7:51 am
I have said all preseason long that Hue Jackson has the same problems other Raiders coaches had….PENALTIES and giving up big plays on 3rd down.
I have said all Summer long in this very Blog that Hue Jackson will be judged according to how he handles those issues.
We saw a good team battle hard last night only to commit penalty after penalty.
If we are going to beat the better teams in the league this year we will need to fix this problem NOW!
September 13th, 2011 at 7:52 am
Last night was the first time I can really ever remember us effectively running zone coverage. I was REALLY impressed with our Defense.
September 13th, 2011 at 7:55 am
“Jason threw a lot of bad passes.”
Sure he did but he also did the little things very well last night. He ran for a first down, he didn’t throw any interceptions, he made some real good reads at the LOS and the QB sneak was great.
I thought DHB played well we just need Campbell to be more accurate with his deep throws.
September 13th, 2011 at 7:55 am
Nick Miller is just keeping Pryor’s roster spot warm.
September 13th, 2011 at 7:56 am
1. The Pirate is back! From now on though no blows to the head and no late hits, too easy to call personal foul, below the neck hits encouraged
2. We all need to stop hating on DHB Groves Satele and Carlisle and start supporting
3. The weak link is Campbell. He has time know your receivers tendencies and when he’s one on one let him try to make a play
4. NMiller should not touch the field
5. Dline rotation is better than advertised
September 13th, 2011 at 7:59 am
DMAC was damn near perfect out there, but I just have one problem with him,,,,,, the turf tape on the back of his arms,,lol,,ever time I see him wearing it I get those nasty flashbacks of LaMont Jordan (biting the towel). DMAC please ,please take off the turf tape! Oh and Rolando McClain,,,,get a linebackers facemask will ya? (Just nitpicking)
September 13th, 2011 at 8:02 am
Silver, to be clear, I’m not piling on Jason. As mediocre as his numbers were, he didn’t turn it over. I’m grateful for that. He’s without question the best QB on the team right now.
The bigger concern for the Raiders is the penalties. The procedural or miscue penalties can be expected in week 1. But the personal fouls have got to fkn stop.
Funny that the refs missed that illegal block on the punt return TD. They didn’t miss anything else.
The game should not have even been that close.
September 13th, 2011 at 8:03 am
How about M. Bush tearing up the hole for 10 yard gashes up the middle when we needed to salt the game away. Bush came up huge. Those runs were all him.

Positive thing for Campbell:
Think of last year’s slide short of the first down marker in the Tennessee opener.
Now think of him crashing into two Broncos defenders converging on him last night.

It looks like AL has thrown in the towell and gave Bres the green to run his D as he see’s fit. Those blitzes were a welcome sight, we rushed Orton a half dozen times with pressure.
Didn’t miss #21 at all just like I said would happen.

When Hue was mad last week I think it was, you know it was because AD told him Hagan is not going to play over his pets. There is no other explanation of why he wasn’t active for tonight’s game. A ein is a win and I will take it, however, it goes to show you Al is still meddling with the team. The old man needs to let the best players play, regsrdless of contracts.
Jmeds makin a good point, even if it was not that, we have to assume that it has something to do with uncle al’s meddling, I clearly see no reason to have set Hagan unless he was injured…on a side note Campbell had D.Moore wide open on a couple of plays, sometimes he plays like he doesnt want to make a mistake,but we will need him to take more chances against teams like the packers,chargers,lions,patriots that are on our schedule.

Blustering in from sea
With a rollicking song he sweeps along

His face is weather beaten
He wears a hooded sash
With his silver hat about his head
And a bristly black moustache
He growls as he storms the country
A villain big and bold
And the trees all shake and quiver and quake
As he robs them of their gold
The Autumn wind is a Raider
Pillaging just for fun
He’ll knock you ’round and upside down
And laugh when he’s conquered and won.

The key to beating NE is keeping Welker and the TEs under control while generating some pressure up the middle.
We seem to be strong up the middle (football IQ wise) in zone coverage with RoMac and this new guy Gio.
I like Branch and Huff matching up with their TEs and Welker.
I can’t see them getting anywhere near 500 yds passing on us.

I was crying about the penalties.
Specifically the RT position.
And you can count on me crying about that next week too if 3rd and 2 keeps turning into 3rd and 7 and then 3rd and 12.
We keep getting personal fouls on 3rd downs where we stopped the team, I’ll be right here crying.
++++++++++
Jhill, the crying comments were not directed at you. We had a lot of guys last night posting doom, gloom, and negative stuff.
Your comments were not the “dumbest team in america” or “we are folding” stuff got old yesterday…
September 13th, 2011 at 8:52 am
Thank goodness we got through this game pretty much injury free.
September 13th, 2011 at 8:53 am
Yall get off JC….he is 8-5 as starter in Oakland….and everyone’s beloved Rich Gannon was 8-8 his first year then first game of 2000 season he struggled mightily all game and pulled out a win in the end….I was hearing people say Sanchez and other Qbs win ugly…blah blah…JC won…he made pass to DHB that led to sealing game…..all good baby
September 13th, 2011 at 8:54 am
I know Thec …
But I was whining, or should I say super duper pissed about the constant penalties. I really thought for a second there in the 4th qtr that it was going to cost us the game.
Those personal fouls when we were stopping them was just unbelievable.
Somebody better still be running right now!

September 13th, 2011 at 8:58 am
RaiderKen…When they wouldn’t show the replay in the end zone, I knew for sure that it was a TD by McFadden.
And, ya your observations on Veldeer our spot on. The kid is awesome, but he’s getting better because he’s the hardest working player we have. Always the last to get off the field during practice.
Here’s a small take from Yahoo Sports:
Janikowski’s kick on the final play of the first half tied the NFL mark set by Tom Dempsey in 1970 and matched by Denver’s Jason Elam(notes) in 1998 at the old Mile High Stadium.
“I wanted to be 10 years in the league, break the record or tie the record and I want to win a Super Bowl,” Janikowski said. “Those are my three goals. I’ve got two out of three.”
Janikowski’s teammate, punter Shane Lechler(notes), added a 77-yard punt in the fourth quarter, tying a team record set by Wayne Crow a half century ago.
“It’s phenomenal, both of them,” Jackson said. “What Sebastian did was unheard of. I think we have two of the best kickers in the league. I trust those guys, believe in them. What a kick. Obviously, a lot of people think that was the difference in the game.”
September 13th, 2011 at 8:58 am
As soon as you get off Kelly, I’ll get off Glo.
109 yds passing with the running game we have is beyond pathetic.
Only McNabb’s 40 yd performance was worse.
September 13th, 2011 at 8:59 am
Glad to win the kind of ugly game that had been losses for us in past seasons…
Nick Miller has got to get off of Punt return team, too many bad judgements inside the 20, goes back to last year, and last night was no different…
Great to see our D Line DOMINATE, anytime, and catching a shot of big rich talking to the D at the end of the 3rd qtr was exactly what we need from our D Captain…
September 13th, 2011 at 8:59 am
Bresh was mixing it…Liked we started the game with Hendu in a 5 man front, Hen Dog lined over center….
September 13th, 2011 at 9:00 am
Well, well, well I always thought that I would make most people in here eat crow and now I can. Where are all you DHB haters now!!!! He was one of the main contributors to the win last night, period!!!! his catch at the end of the game help seal the victory, and if Campbell throws that bomb to the inside DHB is gone and he would of had over 100 yards receiving. The only negative was the penalties which a handful were total BS. 1-0 and Buffalo is next to get run on by DMC!!! RAIDERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

“Yall get off JC”
He did a great job of managing the game making calls at the LOS and his QB sneak was huge. he also had a nice 5 yard run at the goal line to move the chains.
So yes he did enough to win but this is Denver and when the Jets and Pats come to town he is going to have to step it up a notch with his throws down field.
DHB was wide open and JC threw the ball out of bounds, for doing so many things right yesterday he still has some things to work on if we want to compete with the big boys in this league.

1-0 feels reeeeeaaaaal good.
Capped off a long vacation at the beach with a week one Raider victory over the Donks in Denver. Fantastic.
Thec, CJ coughed up a bit of blood but went back out there after a few plays off. Don’t think he left a second time.
Seymour was banged up a few times. I see him being rotated out more this year than the last two.
Think Huff finished game. Ford, not so lucky.

We can’t be giving up punt returns to 3rd string Ed McCaffrey clones.
We can’t have our QB barely cracking 100 yds passing.
And we HAVE to raise the IQ level of our RTs.
September 13th, 2011 at 9:21 am
J,
on the film study tip, what you think of Huff in the slot with Giordanno back there?
September 13th, 2011 at 9:22 am
*Third-year wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey had one of the better games of his NFL career. He caught four passes for 44 yards and turned two of those into key first downs.
He also caught a deep pass from quarterback Jason Campbell, but he wasn’t able to stay in bounds.
=============================================
Cork, I realize you don’t like DHB – but try to be fair and accurate in your reporting.
There’s almost no chance DHB could have caught that pass and stayed in bounds. It was a very poor throw.
Not only was it out of bounds (something we repeatedly see on JaJason’s deep ball), but it was also LATE.
When JaJason looks left and sees DHB streaking with single coverage and no deep help, that ball has got to come out when DHB is even with the defender. Bcz if DHB is even – he’s leaving. That half second delay in not seeing, recognizing, and anticipating that DHB will get separation — results in having to throw the pass an additional 10 yards or so and increases the difficulty of being on target and hitting DHB in-stride.
You can nitpick and say DHB allowed the defender to ‘chuck’ him too close to the sideline. You can complain he caught it with his forearms or left his feet. Bottom line – the throw was late and off target.
Not DHB’S fault.
Very mediocre game from JaJason overall. Some of that could be due to the game plan, but Raids took very few shots downfield.
In JaJason’s defense, he came up huge on his final throw to DHB to ice the game. Perfectly timed and thrown.
This was a win in which the Raids had nearly 200 yards rushing, limited the opposition to less than 40 yards rushing, got a 63 yard FG – and still only won by 3 points.
JaJason and the Raids have got to step up the passing game.
September 13th, 2011 at 9:23 am
Right before the 2008 draft, many of us were hoping Darren McFadden would be picked up by us with our 4th round pick, (Dakota for one). He sure started slow and in 2009 many of us had our doubts, including myself. In 2009 DMAC played in 12 games, had 104 attempts for 357 yards and a 3.4 average. He would slip and trip and lose his balance without cause. During the “off-season” Darren took it upon himself to straighten things out and he worked hard with some others (can’t remember who?) and came back a running, basher, slicing, locomotive who “inflicts-pain” to opposing players who try and bring him down.
In 2010, in 13 games and 223 attempts, DMAC ran for (1157) yards and was the first Raiders running back since 2007 to run for more than 1000 yards. We all saw what he did last night, and if he can stay healthy, the sky is the limit. Nice going Darren! No, that’s wrong, there was nothing “nice” about your performance last night, it was awesome!
September 13th, 2011 at 9:24 am

++++++++++
Other than stupid penalties, these are the 3 big problems to come out of last night’s game.
I’m least concerned about Campbell right now. If he has another sub-150 yards passing next week, then I’ll worry.
But the others are huge. Special teams has to tighten up, the penalties have to be controlled (they’ll never stop; this is the Raiders) and Barnes/Heyer have to raise their level of play about a dozen notches.
I said it before the season started and I’ll say it again: It won’t surprise me in the least if Barksdale or BCampbell starts at RT coming off the bye week.

Trent Dilfer (who was shockingly good as a color commentator last night, by the by) had a good point that some of us semi-pros have raised: DHB should be used for hitches, bubble screens and slants almost exclusively. These deep routes to him never work. Part of that is Campbell’s spotty deep accuracy but part of it is also his inability to adjust to the ball. Did you see that double move he tried to put on the Donk corner? LMAO. He looked dumb as schit. Like an awkward high school freshman trying to dance.
DHB should never catch a pass more than 15 yards down the field.

Raiders at 1-0…damn that sounds good!
- See how much preseason means? The front 7 were the bullies and the secondary did enough to keep Denver out of the endzone until the end. Props to all the Dline, Gio, and Routt
- DMac is the man. He is our difference maker. Bush struggled to find room most of the game, but was awesome as the closer. Reece is the most unique FB in he NFL.
- Hue seemed to recognize the only way we would lose to Denver was if the pass rush got off. We used a lot of max protect and heavy sets to neutralize Elvis/Miller. Love the game plan. Did not make for a great passing day, but against Buff we may be able to open it up a bit. I love all the shifts and motion keeping the D on their toes.
- DHB made impact plays for once, props. JC was steady and ran the game plan. I expect him to look better in Buff.
- Hue has to get on the team about the penalties. Too much crap after the whistle. The Broncos were just as bad, but the RAIDERS have to show more control. Because they are RAIDERS…nothing slips by the refs.
- Division win on the road. Enjoy it Nation and concentrate on the positives. There is definitely room for improvement, but that is what good teams do…get better every game.

September 13th, 2011 at 9:35 am
As I’ve said many times, our TE rotation should be Boss, Ausberry, and Gordon. Cut Nick Miller, we could have used Hagan on some of those 3rd downs

September 13th, 2011 at 9:36 am
I will say this right now after what I saw last night and I know Orton threw for over 300 yards. This secondary has a chance to be very good. CJ is covering about a swell as he ever has and Routt to the dismay of all his naysayers who ripped Mr D for giving him the money. Routt is one of the top 10 corners in this league he is just a blanket and has outstanding technigue. If DVD can step his game up this secondary will be secind to none even better than the one Nnamdi plays on.
Out front7 is going to dominate a lot of games. All the McClain naysayers who continuously blasted him for no instincts Yeah I’m talking about you JFB. All you ever do is talk down the players on this team ripping the secondary and every player who has a one iota of a questionable game or just one play.

Listen man DHB can catch I keep tellin’ you guys that is not his issue it’s finishing plays which he has gotten much better at. The reason he seems more effective with the intermediate stuff is that is what JC excels at his deep ball is suffering. If he throws the deep ball better DHB will make plays. JC needs to get on the same page with him and you’ll see DHB bust out bigtime……you guys have a bad habit of erroneously putting jackets on players they don’t deserve. First he catch a cold now he can only catch short passes…………get over yourselves!!!
September 13th, 2011 at 9:42 am
I expected Ausberry and either Hagan or Schilens to be inactive.
There is little reason to activate more than 5 WRs on game day. Miller is going to be the 5th because he’s the punt returner. There are more NFL teams carrying 5 WRs than 7. So that’s 2 inactive WRs on a normal week for us with the roster the way it is. That’s why I said Schilens or Hagan could be cut (as well as Miller). Hagan was only supposed to be a camp body but he played himself onto a roster spot. We’ll see if they still have 7 WRs on the roster if they are all healthy and Pryor is allowed to practice.

He was a monster last night. Stuffed the run to the point that the Donks abandoned it early on and shoved JD Walton around like a little schoolgirl everytime he was out there.
September 13th, 2011 at 9:45 am
Hendu the whole night when ever he was in game boy did he make a difference….in run and pass game…..Jhill and BHP any more questions?
September 13th, 2011 at 9:46 am
And how about ShoNasty? Ryan Clady is a damn good left tackle and Shaughnessy was owning him for most of the night.
September 13th, 2011 at 9:47 am
Shaughnessy looked like one mean mthfuka
September 13th, 2011 at 9:49 am
John Henderson being healthy is going to be a BIG deal for our DT rotation.
39yds rushing for the Donkeys???
Outstanding job by the front 7.
Big Props to Branch and Groves!
September 13th, 2011 at 9:49 am
Raiders haven’t lost in Mile High since 2007 and even then the Broncos escaped by a hair.
Pat Bowlen should send Al the deed to Mile High since the Raiders own it now.

The conversion to seal the deal at the 2 minute warning was huge. I don’t see the Raiders of the past 8 years closing that out. I see them either running the ball, and eventually punting with a minute or so on the clock, or taking some stupid gamble down field. Hue’s definitely an upgrade where play calling, and the execution of key plays are concerned.
September 13th, 2011 at 9:51 am
I don’t think there was ONE person on this blog who said Henderson was a non factor.
Quite the opposite, in fact.
Priest and I were just wise enough to recognize that Tommy Kelly and Seymour were NOT part of the run defense problems.
Last night you saw Houston, ShoNasty, Wimbley, and Groves handle their muthafuhhggin bizness last night.

#21 didnt make a difference last time we played NE and our def was shredded the entire time he was here.

DHB catches 4 balls and its a coming out party.
Sad…
September 13th, 2011 at 9:57 am
My take:
I really didn’t like all the stupid penalties for lining up offsides and personal fouls.
I used my DVR to confirm DMAC didn’t get the TD, as bad as I wanted him to get it for my FFL team, his knee was down. As it turned out, I didn’t need the TD points thanks to that last 3 yard run that got him to 150.
It was great to finally get Seabass that record.
Grove and DHB had really good games.
Nick made some costly mistakes. It may have cost him his job.
It was nice to get the win, but I have a feeling Denver is a really bad team. I’m a little worried how good Buffalo looks. I hope it’s just KC is really, really bad.

I remember the 08 draft I said I wanted the Ferrari (Darren McFadden) over the Hummer (Ken Dorsey),,,, and it was a nice debate between the two choices. I don’t hear too much about that Hummer these days,,but out Ferrari is tearing it up.
September 13th, 2011 at 10:01 am
Big John Stud played a hell of a game last night in the limited action he saw, but B@uce, man up and say it, Kelly looked pretty good last night too…
September 13th, 2011 at 10:03 am
A few observations
lets not get too carried away on boyd. I thought he played well on special teams but noticed him out of position or missing tackles several times last night that led to 1st downs.
D was looking good. Could have been a blowout it routt and branch each catch the picks that hit them right in their hands. Was surprised Romac wasnt more active. He was all over the place in pre season. I like how much rotation we are getting on the d line and even the secondary.
Im hoping the gameplan was for campbell to play the game manager roll after we knew we could run the ball. Hue seemed to tone down his formations and play calls as the game wore on. The passing game is going to need to step up especially with the jets coming to town in two weeks.
We also wont be so lucky if we cant tone down the penalties.
That being said were 1-0!
September 13th, 2011 at 10:03 am
Early in the game last night, the Game-Cameras focused in on “Rod Woodson” and you would have through he was our “defensive-coordinator.” Had his ear-set on, he was stomping all over the side lines barking out…(who knows what?) and you could clearly see he was into the game and his players. Awesome. He’s not going to be anybodys assistance next year, if he can get those D-backs working together as a team and performing. Maybe he’s our future Defensive Coordinator
Note to Woodson: Good to have you back on our sidelines.

Also does Wauffle handle the D-line rotation by himself?

September 13th, 2011 at 10:08 am
Chucky B was getting a lot of heat in here during the pre-season.
Tell you what, Raid D still looks very susceptible to crossing patterns and delays – but overall, I was impressed with what I saw.
Don’t want to get prematurely excited about stuffing the run – after all, it was the Mules, primarily a passing team and Moreno and McGahee are weak – but 40 yards rushing ? Nice.
Certainly, Chucky put a lot on film for Fitz and the Jills to look at this week.
5 and 6 man fronts. Plenty of delayed safety blitzes. A secondary with a ton of guys swapping positions.
We got our work cut out for us this week too. Fitz can sling it. Spiller is no joke. And the Jill Dline is a lot bigger than it was last year.
CAN’T WAIT !

Ma name is stanky AL, I totally insane, tell ya what, helleva vertical game, 105 yds by ma slug named JC, no matter what, he’ll keep hammering DHB.
There’s finer players, don’t give a whit, slug JC connects without a hitch, Hagan hell no, same as Moore, is DHB who’ll give us big show.
I said so……I stank AL, totally insane, have doo-doo in my shorts, smell so bad wifey keeps me on the porch…..
Now my lil cheerleader, ole bellicose Hue, bald headed bully, one eye hangs low…..forget the hoopla and the passes of the slug, there’s more than enough time to run it up their bung…..

3rd and 3 yards to goal. The Raiders have one of the most potent run attacks and Hue goes to a spread offense. WTF??? That was the only call that pissed me off. Its like they forgot who they were on goalline. That’s not the time to abandon the run
September 13th, 2011 at 10:14 am
RM99,
I can’t see the bearded short guy lining up in a shotgun and having his way with us.
First of all, our offense is going to be on the field a lot more than KC was controlling the clock.
Second, our CBs are going to take Steve Johnson out of the game. Can’t even tell you who their #2 WR is.
Very impressed with the IQ of our Safties last night in zone coverage. Boyd and Porter had some rookie mistakes, but for the most part played pretty solid.
Not quite sure if it was the play calling, Glo, or a combination of both, but our passing game HAS to be better next week.
We need Boss in their to give Glo his security blanket back.
September 13th, 2011 at 10:17 am
Where the hell are MR’s troll azz and Alex troll azz and Deuce Bigelow Male Gigolo troll azz, and all the rest of these suckas now that we WIN a close game!
We told you fools that pre season don’t mean SQUAT!
Yeah it was sloppy, and ugly, and we had lots of penalties, but this is the exact opposite of the Monday Night opener against the Chargers a couple of years ago where we beat the San Diego Trannies to a bloody pulp physically, and still found a way to LOSE THE GAME!
We are 1-0 for the first time in 9 years!
The Jets sure didn’t look pretty in their win, but a win is a win!
Win Lose or Tie Raider til I die!
September 13th, 2011 at 10:17 am
All the anti DHB commentary is what his contributions last night noteworthy.
The guy caught every ball he got his hands on, and made a game clinching play.
Should have had one more catch for a lot of yards and a TD, but the QB is still working out some kinks.
If Glo played a lot faster, DHB would have had a TD on that play at the goaline where the Donkey left him uncovered. Just a split second faster calling for the ball to be hiked Glo!
September 13th, 2011 at 10:20 am
Observations:
1. D-line would should have had 7 sacks. Donkey line was holding all game.
2. Routt played well and is raising my comfort level as he is rising to the responsibility of being #1.
3. Zone looks increased defensive effectiveness.
4. Best safety play I have seen in a while, probably aided by d-line but Giordano play was refreshing(see Huff).
5.Left side of O-line played well, right needs to be shored up quickly.
6. Run yards allowed is impressive for a Raiders team in Week 1, regardless of the attacking team.
7. Raiders (collectively) spent the 3rd quarter keeping Denver in the game and giving them points. Instead of pulling away, we pulled them in. A better team would have beat us.
8. Didn’t hear Dumervil or Miller’s name too much after the initial fumble by Ford.
9. I am starting to believe that part of the red zone failures to score TD’s, instead of FG’s, has as much to do with Campbell as any defenseive scheme or our WR’s.
10. The flight home should have been full of video of the correlation between screwing around in 3rd quarter and jeopardizing wins. If you wanna slap the opponent around, build a 3 TD lead first!
September 13th, 2011 at 10:20 am
Arm Chair, I was here last night after game, admitting I was wrong about my prediction.
I left a comment earlier this morning, as well, giving Hue props for the conversion at the 2 minute warning. I think that’s a stark difference between this team and recent Raider teams.

================================================
There’s a big difference between having a potent running attack and having a power running attack at the goal line or in short yardage situations.
You bet, with DMAC we’re potent and explosive – but with Wiz, Satelle, and Carlisle manning the middle of the OLine – we’re not exactly a power team or bully in tight.
Has to be consideration given to coming up with an improved ‘elephant’ package and a sledgehammer lead blocker for goal line and short yardage situations down the line.
I’m sure Hue’s gonna cook something up.
September 13th, 2011 at 10:25 am
Here’s my thought on McClain and they are no different than what I said before we drafted the kid. His instincts are incredible, he’s extremely physical and athletic. He’s probably bigger tyhan any MLB in the game at 6′4″ 260, name someone bigger?
He is showing in the passing game and in space that he has great ability and yet he can blow up the run. Now you name another MLB with that skillset. There isn’t one…….not even Ray Lewis is has the size and speed ratio this kid has. Now we cannot at all compare him to Ray in terms of impact. But as far as what he brings to the table skillset wise just a matter of time before they will talk in terms of him being in the top 5. Just wait and watch………………….they don’t call me the “Priest of the Blackhole” for nothing.
September 13th, 2011 at 10:25 am
Very impressive game(besides penalties)
Liked some of the offensive formations and personell combos we used this game. I liked Houston at Dt on 3rd downs. Also liked Gordon at Fb in some goal line situations. Liked SOME of the things DHB did but you can’t help but notice on all of his catches that ball hit his chest…..use your hands man. Whole line played good(Besides Heyer for the most part)Id like to see Barksdale or Campbell at Rt at some point
Overall the game showed the coaches know what they are doing, even without Boss/Taiwan/Murphy/Mitchell playing there is too much upside for this squad

++++++++++++++++++
Didn’t Lamarr Houston play some goalline FB at Texas? Or am I thinking of something else? Beast Campbell could be an option too.
I swear I saw Gordon come in at FB last night in a goalline situation too.
And give credit to Wiz, Satele & Carlisle–they shoved around the Denver interior most of the night. Granted, the Denver DTs mostly suck, but still.

You saw BIG Gordon lined up at FB at the goal line for a second there. Denver called a TO, and Hue came back with Reece and we proceeded to pass the ball.

Give the ball to DMac and stop playing around the goaline, as Armond would say.

He did a great job of managing the game making calls at the LOS and his QB sneak was huge. he also had a nice 5 yard run at the goal line to move the chains.
So yes he did enough to win but this is Denver and when the Jets and Pats come to town he is going to have to step it up a notch with his throws down field.
DHB was wide open and JC threw the ball out of bounds, for doing so many things right yesterday he still has some things to work on if we want to compete with the big boys in thi

I liked that formation with Reece and a TE lined up in the backfield with DMac.
First play we handed it off to Reece, and the next time we ran it we pitched it to DMac who was one on one with a LB. The LB made the play, but I can see that play working out for us really well.
Need to have BIG Gordon as the TE in the backfield on that play instead of Meyers though.

Quick observations from the game last night with a better analysis later:
Secondary played surprisingly well overall, despite some BS PI calls. Giordano looks like he can play!
Groves stepped it up and play well.
I liked the Huey and Saunders opening the playbook with multiple sets and looks that we have not seen before, to utilize all their weapons on offense. Why didn’t Hagan play?
Huey, Saunders and JC need to shorten the snap count though, especially on the road. It gets too loud and you can’t have your O-Linemen in their stances waiting forever to get the ball hiked. False start penalties are inexcusable, however they need to shorten the damn snap count on the road!
They need to score more TD’s in the red zone. In the red zone….DMC should be the #1 and #2 option as a runner or received to score that damn TD! Everyone else is complimentary.
Penalties need to be reduced of course.
I actually liked some of the blitz calls by Chuck B, but they still need to be executed better.
Houston and Shawny need to get to that QB and Wimbley needs to be unleashed vs Buffalo and get to Fitz!
Huey needs to have this team wake up 3 hours earlier all week long starting tomorrow to help them prepare their bodies and inner time clocks to an early East Coast game in Buffalo on Sunday.
These guys need to be fresh for the first East Coast game of the season. I would like to see them pound the rock with DMC, Bush and Jones and control the clock to keep the Bills passing attack off the field!!

I think Armond was the first guy to come up with the Gordon to FB idea, either him or thec07 I’m not sure who to give the credit to but it was a great call I hope they use more in short yardage goaline.
——————————————————
Uh, that was me, my friend.
I said after the first preseason game that I thought we would keep 4 TEs on the roster and BIG Gordon was a BEAST as a blocker.
Was real obvious to see that BIG Gordon is a better blocking option than Tonga would have ever been.

They need to score more TD’s in the red zone. In the red zone….DMC should be the #1 and #2 option as a runner or received to score that damn TD! Everyone else is complimentary.

Tonga still can block better than Reece and you know it

We put that to film review and you suddenly went quiet. Tonga was TERRIBLE in that last Seattle game. Literally got tossed around and missed all type of reads.

For a guy who supposedly takes away half the field with his shut-down cover skills, Eagles cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha didn’t have a particularly impressive debut against the Rams. He was matched up mostly against St. Louis receiver Brandon Gibson, who finished with three catches for a team-high 50 yards. Gibson, who has yet to be called an elite receiver, also drew a 41-yard pass interference call against Asomugha.

Give the ball to DMac and stop playing around the goaline, as Armond would say.
===============================================
Seems like Hue prefers Bush near the goal line. I prefer DMAC bcz of the added dimension of bouncing it outside.
JaJason did manage to score and convert on two sneaks last night, but it wasn’t convincing or overpowering in either case. On the TD sneak, I was almost expecting Bush to cause JC to fumble when he pushed him in.

_______________________________________________________
MR-
if you did that then I’ll give you one kudo of credit for standing up and admitting that you were wrong about last night’s game. But now let’s kept it real honest….
Every single day you come on here and post literally DOZENS and DOZENS of emails about how badly we suck, and how we will never accomplish ANYTHING as long as Al Davis is alive, and Hue Jackson is his puppet, and we will NEVER BLITZ because Al Davis is the Defensive coordinator, and how bad we sucked in the pre season, blah, blah ,blah…..I mean seriously, no one can shut you up on this blog usually…
Now we WIN a Monday Night Fotball opener, in front of the whole country on national TV, and Jano ties the all time record of 63 yards…..and all you have is a mere couple of measly little posts!
Come on White Mike! It is obvious that you get some kind of sick satisfaction out of seeing the Raiders lose, so that you can continue on ranting and raving in your sick obsession with Al Davis!
You would rather see us lose if it means that you can continue to denigrate Al Davis….
It is sad really. And I am not trying to berate you at all man, I’m seriously just calling what I see from you day, after day, year after year…

Who cares? Tonga sucks
——————————————————
I mean REALLY sucks.
The thing about it is most people agree that Reece is “still developing” as a lead blocker.
I think B just gets caught up in this “anyone but Reece” syndrome when he talks about Tonga. There is NO WAY in HELL you can look at what Tonga does on the field and suggest he should be on the 53 man roster.
Reece had some helluva blocks last night, by the way.
September 13th, 2011 at 10:45 am
B,
Reece’s upside in the passing game far out weighs his limitations as a blocker. You know this so go ahead and concede. He is a weapon 31 other teams would love to have him.
Still waiting for T Jones to touch the ball, Hue????
September 13th, 2011 at 10:46 am
Jason was mediocre, but did what needed to be done. The main thing is he didn’t turn the dam ball over (well he got lucky on that one fumble). He’s got to recognize open receivers better, though. Moore was past the corner on the right sideline on one play, but JC threw it incomplete to a well covered Myers.
The bottom line is, this game wouldn’t have been close without the stupid fkn personal fouls and a non-call for illegal block on the Decker punt return. None of that was Jason.

22 passes is pretty much the definition of a game management plan, and we know that was the game plan because Campbell himself SAID it was the plan.
Dont forget it was wet and crappy out, no surprise really that we didnt have much in the passing game, why risk it when we have DMC rushing at 6.8 yards a clip

It was not bad QB or great QB play. JC controlled the game and for the most part did what Hue asked him to do. We ran heavy sets and multiple looks to keep Denver’s edge rushers from beating us on the road in a rainy game. The game plan was not constructed to pass for 300 yards. It was built to beat Denver, mission accomplished. JC had a couple shots he missed on, but helped seal the game with a nice bullet to DHB. Against a team like the Pats we are going to have to score a lot and make plays through the air. Those are the games we need JC to really step up.

The QB play was not bad, we barely threw the ball. Campbell made plays and converted 3rd Downs when we needed them. There were a lot of routes being ran wrong by Moore and Ford from what I can tell, and Myers is as garbage as I told everyone he was. JC got a first down on a scramble, off a sneak, and we got that Bush push ala USC vs ND at the goaline. He took care of the ball, made good decisions, and there was only 2 throws I remember him missing.

I saw that. Actually thought Bush gave him another stinger too.
I hate to say it, but Glo looks like the same guy to me, which is disappointing. I look for the little things. No, he didn’t slide short of the 1st down marker, but the run was, uh, hilarious is the first word that comes to my mind.
Another hilarious play to me was the shot he took at the end of the game playing around with the kneel down.
You take those 3 plays, couple it with Fig Newton’s performance, and I think I’m getting myself ready to see Pryor at QB.
Still hell to the naw on VY though.

Looked to me like he scored. Friggin refs taking away my fantasy points. Was wondering why we didn’t challenge. I guess Hue figured that he’d get it in with 3 tries from the 1 yard line.

the problem isn’t the throws he makes…it’s the throws he DOESN’T make… you only saw 2 bad passes…why? Because he checked down all night. Boss cannot come back quick enough… Campbell is absolutely trash without a TE.
I don’t care what any deluded fan thinks… 109 yards is pathetic. No matter WHAT the “game plan” is. Thank God for Donovan McNabbs tremendous 40 yard passing effort or JC would be in pretty lonely company.

buffalo has a weak offensive line and is going to have a hell of a time keeping Fitz upright against our dline rotation thats for sure. We HAVE to do a better job of covering the TEs over the middle. Thats how buffalo beat KC. I dont expect too much from buffalos run game either. If we play as well as last night defensively, and eliminate the penalties we should be able to finish of Buffalo. They lost their best corner too, so hopefully one of our receivers steps up and exploits that.
September 13th, 2011 at 10:58 am
That’s BS Jhill….Gordon is a TE….not a FB…..just like Hendu would never be a facotr pass rushing….next
——————————————————
I know you said you were super duper faded last night, but Gordon lined up in the backfield near the goal line as a FB while Reece was on the sideline.
If you saw that in week 1, expect to see it more often.
Not even sure what you are trying to argue here.
Are you saying we should keep Reece in as the FB around the goal line or in short yardage situations?
Or are you really trying to tell us that Gordon should be inactive and Tonga should be that guy?

Wondering where my newest minions, nob_raider and plunkforHOFlame are hiding out. Man, that was super easy smacking those two fools into submission last night.
Almost reminded me of the first time I kicked Brian the Genital around the blog. Ahhh, memories …
The thing I really like about my 2 new minions is how they get really upset and cry on each other’s shoulder!
You almost feel sorry for them until you realize how funny it is.
Anyway, dweebs, gonna finish off this marg then take the ladies down to Venice Beach to buy some skunk weed.
What can I say, the babes love to get baked before we hit TGI Fridays.

Let’s be honest..Hue did game plan away from Campbell.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:00 am
I hate to say it, but Glo looks like the same guy to me, which is disappointing. I look for the little things. No, he didn’t slide short of the 1st down marker, but the run was, uh, hilarious is the first word that comes to my mind.
______
Yeah, that was an awkward finish to that run. While I was glad he didn’t slide as that wouldn’t have gotten the 1st, I though he could have protected himself better by diving or falling to the ground after reaching the sticks.
My concern remains with the long ball but I liked that he played mostly mistake free except for the fumble DMAC recovered and even then that was hard to prevent based on how he was hit.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:01 am
If Bruce Crapkowski was QB he would have 3 TDs 500yrds passing and 1 broken NECK !

Looked to me like he scored. Friggin refs taking away my fantasy points. Was wondering why we didn’t challenge. I guess Hue figured that he’d get it in with 3 tries from the 1 yard line. But I would have been ticked if they turned it over or committed a penalty to send them back. They should have challenged IMO.
**********************
He was definitely short. I rewound the dvr a few times to check.
_________
He was? Oh well then. My situation didn’t allow me to go back and look closer and they weren’t replaying it. Should have figured I guess. Hue was money on his challenges.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:04 am
the problem isn’t the throws he makes…it’s the throws he DOESN’T make… you only saw 2 bad passes…why? Because he checked down all night. Boss cannot come back quick enough… Campbell is absolutely trash without a TE.
I don’t care what any deluded fan thinks… 109 yards is pathetic. No matter WHAT the “game plan” is. Thank God for Donovan McNabbs tremendous 40 yard passing effort or JC would be in pretty lonely company.
——————————————————
Agreed!

He’s improved looking much more confident out there throwing some balls into tight coverage the 1st down run would have been a slide last year but he hasn’t improved to the level the rest of the team is ready to play at. When your man is one on one throw it up and let him make a play!
September 13th, 2011 at 11:11 am
LOL!
I saw that. Actually thought Bush gave him another stinger too.
I hate to say it, but Glo looks like the same guy to me, which is disappointing. I look for the little things. No, he didn’t slide short of the 1st down marker, but the run was, uh, hilarious is the first word that comes to my mind.
Another hilarious play to me was the shot he took at the end of the game playing around with the kneel down.
==============================================
Don’t know that I would use ‘hilarious’ as the adjective to describe those plays – but I definitely know what you mean.
On the scramble up the middle for the first down…there wasn’t a slide, and there also wasn’t any lowering of the head and leaning forward either. Seemed to run into the defenders completely upright and his momentum was stopped immediately. Lucky he wasn’t blasted on that. More alert defenders take the kill shot on that one.
Listen, anytime JaJason has to move his feet and make a play it’s time to get nervous. I know some people consider him an ‘athletic’ QB, but honestly, I don’t know why. JC moves in the pocket and scrambles like he has two left feet.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:11 am
Giordano is out of Cal and been in the league 6 yrs! I love that missile blitz up the middle. Bres is good for letting the dogs loose.
Blackstocks block was HUGE!
September 13th, 2011 at 11:12 am
The good and bad from last night:
The good:
The team showed mental toughness by hanging in and winning the type of game we used to collapse and lose.
O-line blocked well and wore down Denver’s d-line, letting us run the clock down at the end.
DMac was awesome. If he stays healthy this year look out!
DHB played well even breaking a tackle to get a key first down. If Campbell threw that deep sideline pass well he would have had 6.
Bush is a beast, especially coming in late to mop up.
Play-calling and game management was very good. They look far more professional than Cable’s squads.
Our d-line rotation is a force to be reckoned with. No one will enjoy having to play against them.
Giordano looked great. We could finally have a playmaker back there. Branch really seems to be coming on as well.
Jano sure looks great so far. Ditto Lechler as always.
McClain played well. He can sure get deep on his pass drops.
Secondary did a good job for the most part and could have had a couple more picks.
Never thought I’d say this but Groves even made some good plays.
Oh yeah…Reece was awesome. Seems he’s learned how to block well too. What a weapon.
Now the bad:
These stupid penalties have to stop. False starts and all of those 15 yarders are lack of discipline plain and simple. Hue needs to jump all over those guys for this. It was good to see Big Rich laying the law down on the sidelines after that nonsense on that one drive.
Campbell has to learn to throw the deep ball. DHB should have had a TD. Just put the thing where the receiver can go get it (inbounds).
Special teams coverage has to tighten up. They made Decker look like Ford or Hester until late in the game.
Miller should not be back there returning kicks. He’s a disaster. He shouldn’t even be taking up a roster spot.
Schilens was invisible. Hope this changes as he gets back into game shape.
Having said all that, it was a hard-fought win; the kind that builds character. Now we just have to build on it in Buffalo. Time to win one of those east coast trips and put another demon to rest.
Go Raiders!
September 13th, 2011 at 11:12 am
Yeah. No way Bruce could have gone out there and handed off the ball to McFadden as good as Campbell did
————————————————
True ! Because of Gradkowski’s Great arm we would have abandoned the run and thrown it 45 times just like the pats and there HOF QB. Why run if you have a great QB like Grads out there , he is Payton Manning 2.0 playing chess with the defense …
September 13th, 2011 at 11:13 am
Brien
My boy Reece balled and you know it, made some nice blocks and scored our first TD. Will never be a dominant blocker, but he is better than average and showed it last night
September 13th, 2011 at 11:14 am
I’m happy we’re 1-0. ‘just win’ and all that but those penalties are troubling. Being a bully is fine and all but use your head.
Where did this Giordano guy come from anyway? Wow. He catches balls better that some of our receivers.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:15 am
keep up the bully mentality against all opponents, we’re the originators the ravens jets etc are just borrowing our style. We got in the bronocs heads and they lost their cool but we gotta restrain from blows to the face much too easy to call a penalty. Suddle Head butts are the only blows to the face we should commit elbows forearms shoving and squeezing below the neck when it beckons
September 13th, 2011 at 11:15 am
Kyle Orton had 300 yard passing Jason Campbell had 105 but Kyle is 0-1 and Jason is 1-0. One week at a time Raider nation.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:18 am
Were we perfect last night? Nope. Good teams find was to WIN on the road in a hostile environment against all odds. We did that. We finished. Lots of positives to build off people
September 13th, 2011 at 11:18 am
It was a good win.. no doubt about that.. and I’m happy for the win… I just hope the passing game is a lot better next week than this week… atleast our qb did not throw interception in I climate weather. . Weather some here like it or not…. j.c. is going to be our qb. . May as well back him.. he’s it for this season anyway…
September 13th, 2011 at 11:20 am
All you pathetic whiners need to take a hike and go root for a different team. It was the first game of the season, a divisional game on the road! And on Monday night FFS! When was the last time that happened? Yeah, thought so.
I’m excited to see this team mature and grow as the season progresses. Get on the train or get the hell off.
You all sound like a bunch of bickering teenage girls.

“You all sound like a bunch of bickering teenage girls.”
Why because we realize that when we play the big boys that crap wont fly.
You can beat lowly Denver with 16 penalties and 109 yards passing but when we play the Jets or Pats not going to fly man.
we were told all off season how Hue was building a bully not a penalty machine.
Yes we won and we are all happy but at the same time we are being realistic we have to step it up to compete with the winning teams in this league.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:25 am
I’ll tell you one thing… I was cursing at the t.v.. because I knew this should have been a blowout .. the game should have been over by halftime. .. I’m just glad we won… but raiders can’t play like this again and expect to win in Buffalo. .. or any other game…

*************************************************
The passing game is going to get better each week. Jason will have a few 300 yard games this year. Kyle Orton had 46 pass attempts last night and Jason only had 22. I think Jason wont through over 30 passes a game this year unless we get behind early.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:28 am
This Plaschkie dork is obviously just a Raider hater but the fact remains that the dumb penalties have to stop. That nonsense let the Donkeys get back into the game when it should have been over.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:31 am
Groves was our best lb yesterday. Al brought in the talent at every position. Our coaching staff will get the most out of our talent and we’ll be a force to be reckoned with.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:31 am
Havent read all the post so if this has been covered sorry.
I for one was worried about the defence coming in. I thought they were great. Cj got picked on a little bit but this is the NFL and teams are going to complete passes. The thing that stood out to me were the 3 or 4 INT’s we should have had. Those who recorded the game and will rewatch it can answer just how many we coulda shoulda had. Not to mention the fumble they punched back to the reciever when he was down. We could of had 8-10 turns overs. That is playin some D.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:31 am
Reggie. .
I’m sure You’re right about Campbell. . He will have better games. .. but when a good team has a chance to stick a dagger Iinto your opponents heart. .. you need to take advantage and follow thru… it should have been a blow out… its early in the season but the raiders have a lot of work ahead. .. atleast if they want to make a run at the playoffs
September 13th, 2011 at 11:33 am
It will be interesting to see how we adjust our game plan for Buffalo. The way they handled the Chefs’ running game, it looks like we’ll have to throw more against them. Hopefully Boss and Hagan will be in and Miller will be wearing civvies.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:33 am
Did anyone else notice when they put together the “Raiders are undisciplined” montage, all of the 1st shots were being thrown by the Broncos?
A good analyst would’ve picked up on that instead of sticking with the storyline handed to him by the producers.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:34 am
Moreno and McGahee averaged 0.57 yards per carry. Lol! Good job by our d-line.

Wow, the impostors are spinning out of control this morning. I love it.
Question, did jason campbell look scared? Did he have the “deer in head lights look”, or was he the headlights on the deer?
Jc showed fire, threw his body around and coolly conducted the offense. he has become the unquestioned leader and he makes his teammates better. Converting a huge drive sustaining first down to kill the clock, was precisely the type of play we couldnt complete over the last 8 years. That play was the nail in the coffin, that broke the donkeys back, and killed the momentum.
You still dont like DHB? Why not? Dont look now but our young draft picks led us to victory last night, and DHB WAS THE NUMBER ONE RECEIVER!!!!!! he did it all last night. He caught it short, he went deep, he caught it in traffic, he ran smooth routes, he was incredible. he was our best receiver last night by far!!!! This kid is growing up right before our eyes, and he is the feel good story for this team.
DHB DMac and JC, are the story of perseverance and they are playing with huge chips on their shoulders. they are sick of the doubters and impostors fans, and they are out for blood!
Our offense is in great hands.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:41 am
I bet huff is thinking damn why didn’t we play zone when I was at fs?
September 13th, 2011 at 11:41 am
It’s a great day to be a Raiders fan! Isn’t it?!
THE KEY to this game:
First offensive play from scrimmage = JFord fumble. For the past 8-years, the team would’ve folded right there…if not in fact, in mind.
Instead…the Defense manned-up, and didn’t let Denver into the end zone. There is a HUGE difference in being down 0-3 after giving the opposition an early gift inside our own 20, and going down 0-7 there.
The Defense remained stout, Denver didn’t punch it in…and in front of a raucous anti-Raiders crowd, the TEAM was able to keep their composure.
So what, it was “only” Denver. It was an impressive win on the road against a division opponent…tough duty for all teams in most circumstances. Surviving mistakes in a hostile environment is what it takes to be successful in this here League, and the Raiders showed heart. Not perfect…but they didn’t need to be. They needed to be tough, and remain composed.
Do it again in Buffalo this week, and the Raiders will be that much stronger for the tough games down the stretch.
It was a very good win……..period.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:44 am
Does anyone know what the injury status for Michael Huff is? He did not finish the game. We had Joe Porter getting beat on in the Donkeys last drive while 24 was out.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:44 am
JC needs to stop throwing to Myers dam. Wait for Boss.
Deep throws are late too… VERY slow windup.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:45 am
Still think Al Davis calls the defense from the owners box?
We saw zone, blitzes, line stunts, twist and the donkeys never knew what was coming. DVD played well as did cj and routt. huff and branch were very good in coverage, and our d line was on fire!
proof that rod woodsoon is having a major impact was the fact that we had chances for about 3 or 4 picks last night, and the team was money in the zone blitz. Rod woodson has improved chuck b’s defense.
The mix of zone and man to man with varied pressure was fun to watch, and it will only get better. Dont forget missle mike wasnt on the field, he is going to love playing for the 2011 raider defense.
And oh yeah, we still play the best press man cover on the planet bar none
September 13th, 2011 at 11:48 am
“Deep throws are late too… VERY slow windup.”
Yeah DHB was open and had a couple of steps on his guy and JC throws the ball out of bounds.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:48 am
Wassup peoples!
Great win last night!
September 13th, 2011 at 11:49 am
You do realize this is exactly the type of game cable raiders would have lost dont you?
The turn over on the first possession, along with drive killing and drive sustaining penalties. a special team touch down return on the road against a team you should beat. In the past we would have wilted like old 6 day old salad.
This team showed grit, and determination in being able to overcome the negative plays.
Im proud of this group. The leaders and the young talent are going to be a handful for this league over the next 3-4 years.
BOOK IT!

September 13th, 2011 at 11:52 am
Didn’t see Ford in the 2nd half. Did he get injured?
September 13th, 2011 at 11:53 am
JC is elevating the play of our wr group. The confidence he has in DHB has given that kid a major lift. The 3rd down catch in the fourth quarter to ice the game is play we should mark down. That is winning football, and a play you didnt think that these two guys could make. Guess what?

The conversion at the two minute warning was huge. I think it separates us from past Raider teams. That one play alone. Past Raider teams either run the ball there, and eventually punt with about a minute on the clock, or take a stupid gamble down field, stopping the clock and wasting a play. I can see clear, Gruden-like improvement out of Hue’s system already. But I still don’t know if it will transcend into a winning record. There’s always the Al factor. Al’s extremely sensitive. If he feels he’s losing his team, he will tinker. If we start to see Campbell throwing the ball more, abandoning the running game? You know what it means. It’s always week to week with Al Davis in charge. It can all go bad at any time. See GRUDEN, Jon.

=====================================
Think of it this way. We gave up 7 on a punt return. we allowed denver field goals by giving costly penalties that actually put them in scoring position. we turned over the ball in their territory on the very first drive. this is how denver scored.
We lost scoring opportunity with terrible penalties from our o-line.
You take away the penalties, and the punt return, and we do win this game by 20 points. we will clean that up. The game was close but it had nothing to do with our qb. the game was close because of penalties, and a special teams blunder.
September 13th, 2011 at 11:57 am
Heyer has not shown improvement in the games he’s played…he is not learning from his mistakes.
If one is going to make rookie-like mistakes…we might as well use a rookie in that spot.
It’s time to use Barksdale sparingly, see how he handles the pressure. If he handles it as “well” as Heyer, Heyer needs to fade away. The rook would’ve probably played at least as well last night.

Come on man I know your myopic and love the team but you cant be that blind.

Stop it. We ran the ball because we have the best running backs in the nfl. we ran the ball because denver has a very weak run defense. We ran the ball because we were mired in a rain storm.
There will be teams that we will want to exploit through the air. Hu jack is an expert at attacking the defenses weakness. it has zero to do with any so called davis mandates.
September 13th, 2011 at 12:05 pm
We have to be 2-0 going into the Jets / Pats / Texans stretch. Hope to steal one of those.

The conversion at the two minute warning was huge. I think it separates us from past Raider teams. That one play alone. Past Raider teams either run the ball there, and eventually punt with about a minute on the clock, or take a stupid gamble down field, stopping the clock and wasting a play. I can see clear, Gruden-like improvement out of Hue’s system already. But I still don’t know if it will transcend into a winning record. There’s always the Al factor. Al’s extremely sensitive. If he feels he’s losing his team, he will tinker. If we start to see Campbell throwing the ball more, abandoning the running game?

September 13th, 2011 at 12:08 pm
Darrius Heyward-Bey caught four passes for 44 yards in Monday night’s win over the Broncos.
His seven targets led the Raiders. It might not seem like much, but tonight was only the fourth four-catch performance of Heyward-Bey’s career. After talking him up all summer, the Raiders coaches might actually be serious about getting him the ball. With Jacoby Ford now on the shelf, and Louis Murphy and Chaz Schilens still working their way back to 100 percent health, it’s entirely possible DHB could lead the Silver and Black in targets again in Week 2.

You might hate the guy, but he did come thru w/ a huge catch in the 4th Q. to seal the W.

timely sacks by 92
good blitzes by Bres
big plays by LBs & DBs
Those penalties need to stop, ASAP.
September 13th, 2011 at 12:09 pm
I think, at least from what I saw on Sunday, that we match up better against the Jests than most thought. It will be a tough game, no doubt, but they have a weak run game, and Sanchez isnt exactly a stellar QB. We will have to play fairly mistake free to beat them though.

JC does need to get better and faster at making those decisions, he needs to go down field more and needs to be a lot faster about it. now having said that last night probably wasn’t the best night for him to do that considering it was raining like crazy and there were ball control problems. We hung on to a win from a crappy team. We would have lost had the doncos had the ball for one more drive. I like JC but man he looks asleep out there and takes to long to throw the short 5 yard pass when we need 12 yards. I mean really. Don’t we have any 3rd down plays that actually take the action to where the first down is? So we might actually get a first down when we need to get one?

“JC is elevating the play of our wr group.”
How can he be elevating the play of our WR’s with 4 or 5 receptions all game and 109 passing yards.
Come on man I know your myopic and love the team but you cant be that blind.
JC made some great plays yesterday the QB sneak was huge but to come in here and say he is making our WR’s better is just plain nonsense.
=================
He is doing more than that, he is elevating the play of our entire team!
The defense knows if they can get stops, JC and the boys will score. They knew last night if they could stop the donkeys are offense will ice the game, and that s exactly what JC and company did.
Does DHB make that catch 2 years ago? has DHB improved, and isnt it largely due to the extra work he put in with JC? Do JC and DHb have clear chemistry working that has carried over from the summer to pre season to now the monday night opener? Did we have a qb that could make the clutch throw or lead the team and be respected before JC?
i think if you answer these questions honestly you can easily discern JC’s impact on this team. If you cant it doesnt matter. Davis Hu Jack, suanders and the rest of that team know better than you.

My favorite comments (in no particular order):
* I expect to see Mr. Miller be cut as he was irrelevant tonight, and letting that one punt return that he could have fair caught at the 15 yard line bounce to the 2 yard line, might have just sealed his fate.
* Did Nick Miller even field a punt last night? The guy is worthless!
* Hagan to be active. What did N. Miller provide us anyway? Bad call.
* Has Nick Miller been FIRED yet? For not fair catching that punt at the 20….Idiot…
* Nick Miller is just keeping Pryor’s roster spot warm
* NMiller should not touch the field
* nicki miller sliced…Hagan will be a crucial part of this team
* Nick Miller has got to get off of Punt return team, too many bad judgements inside the 20, goes back to last year, and last night was no different…
* Cut Nick Miller, we could have used Hagan on some of those 3rd downs
* agree with this, that fool didnt do schyt.
* When Nick Miller didn’t field that punt on the 15 and it bounced down to the 2 before it was downed…”Nick” downed himself off the squad.
* Somebody mind telling me why Nick Miller is our PR?
* Miller should not be back there returning kicks. He’s a disaster. He shouldn’t even be taking up a roster spot
* Hopefully Boss and Hagan will be in and Miller will be wearing civvies.

Biggest catch. In his raider career.. for dhb…. a catch for a first down.. any wonder why people have been down on him… I’m happy for him though. .4catches for 44yrds…. its a good start..
September 13th, 2011 at 12:13 pm
We did get a W and I will take it, but the bone headed penalties we kept making were so frustrating.
If we would have played smarter football we would have probably beet the Donkeys by at least 10 more points.
I can’t recall a game in a long time where they threw so many yellow flags and to be honest 95% of the time the ref was right.
September 13th, 2011 at 12:13 pm
There is no reason the Raiders can’t win against ANY team in the League.
If the Defensive front puts pressure on Brady, the Raiders can win against the Pats. Brady goes down hard a few times, the game will change drastically.
First…let’s get it done in Buffalo (not an easy task this year…well, any year for the Raiders)…then come home and put it to the Jets.
A 2-0 start gives the Raiders a lot of steam and confidence in themselves. 2-0 puts the Raiders on the map again…and NO team will relish facing this tough Defense.

Things to correct before facing the Bills:
1. get Nick Miller off of this football team
2. correct the penalties
3. get the horses ready
#3 explained: Buffalo gave up 108 rushing yards to KC on 18 carries (6 ypc)
Cassel throwing the ball 36 times was a result of being down 14-0 after the 1st quarter.
KC’s defense is trash. I guess Ron Edwards, Shaun Smith, Mike Vrabel & Eric Berry made a huge difference for that defense. Charlie Weis on offense too
Buffalo wont roll us, like they did KC. I aint worried
September 13th, 2011 at 12:21 pm

September 13th, 2011 at 12:22 pm
The raiders looked good running behind lil wiz and veldheer, they looked suspect behind carlisle adn barnes. On one play bush was tackled for a loss because the defender just pancaked carlisle who landed flat on his back right in the gap that bush was running to. Later when they went to some zone plays carlisle was a little better. this guy cant be a bully.
Barnes made bone headed penalties, and along with heyer missed some critical assignments. We need to fast forward b campbell and barksdlae.
The oline cant be that sloppy, or we will never beat the big boys. Killing scoring drives with pre snap penalties is unacceptable

JCampbell may not have been the answer last night. But…he certainly was not the problem.
Tough game, tough win. 1-0 is all that matters.
How JC handles wild, constant, pressure from all over the place will define his year…and the Raiders year.
The NYJets game is going to be a great Defensive battle. Doesn’t mean it’ll be a low-scoring affair, either…but the Defenses will give us quite a show, just on agressiveness alone.

the Bills were able to run the ball 36 times for 160 yards and a TD (4.5 ypc)
that makes R. Fitz’s job much easier
He only completed 17 passes. JCamp completed 13 and the guy is getting thrown to the wolves – despite a strong rushing attack, 2 TD’s and most importantly
A WIN!

he looked better than last year with the run and he threw some passes into tight coverage but I admit although i wasn’t bashing cam newton i never thought he would amount to a good qb so you should admit jc didn’t looked like a top tier qb you proclaimed him to be although he does have the tools/weapons/coaching to hopefully become that

We’ve got Pryor waiting in the wings and right now JCamp is on pace to throw for less than 2000 yards – Let’s review this prediction at WK 17, shall we?
Not hating JC here, but there is room for improvement at the QB position
September 13th, 2011 at 12:43 pm
JC needs to take more chances receivers need to be in sync with JCamp regarding where to break off routes Hue will point these out and he will
September 13th, 2011 at 12:43 pm
This was a badly played, sloppy, game but I watched around six other games from Sunday and they were all pretty much the same way.
Just a consequence of the pre-season and/or the new rules for training camp.

Our D-Line looked great. Our running game looked great as well. Besides some stupid plays from the O-line, it was an overall good game, but Denver is a bad football team. This is a game we should have won, and did. Give me a victory next week in Buffalo, and hopefully split the NE and NYJ games, and then i will get really excited. And I love how D-Mac brings the pain. He was punishing defenders last night. I wish Micheal Bush did more of that, being a bigger back.

Honestly, I actually think they played more disciplined and looked more well rounded.
Hue was throwing a lot of $#!t aginst the wall to see what would stick if you ask me. It was fun to watch but it got a little crazy from start to finish.

Does everybody understand that the game plan didnt call for a big passing game from JC?
The game plan was to run over the donkies and set up some play action. That is exactly the plan from last year and it worked again this year?
Why would hu jack and JC challenge the donkies in the secondary wher that is their strength with baily and dawkins?
He executed the game plan, what is the problem?

“The oline cant be that sloppy, or we will never beat the big boys. Killing scoring drives with pre snap penalties is unacceptable”
Maybe JC can elevate their play…Since he has elevated the play of the entire team.

September 13th, 2011 at 12:51 pm
Giordano, Boyd, DHB were very surpising players to see contribute, but I’m happy they did. O-line played much better as the game progressed. Defense played a good game all night, thought our linebackers (*gasp*) looked like the weak link. And Jason Campbell did just enough to win the game. I don’t understand why the man throws some downright inaccurate balls sometimes. When Kevin Boss comes back hopefully we’ll have a little more consistency in the passing game. Congrats to Hue and the Raiders. On to the next week!
September 13th, 2011 at 12:51 pm
We’ll take the W, but that awfully ugly. They should have changed the name of that from Monday Night Football to the Darren McFadden Show. If it wasn’t for McFadden, well, let’s not even go there.
The good news is the defense played well. Well enough to win. But the Dline seemed to tire in the 2nd half. They were getting no push in the 3rd quarter which is not good. McClain did not show up but amazingly the 2ndary did.
And where are all the morons who wanted to cut Janikowsky?

I said we are becoming bullies.
Cable was along for the ride and very little impact on the games, it was hu jack that made the difference.
Cable has turned the seattle o-line into a joke and they are going nowhere. Hu jack has a primed to challenge for a division title and a play off spot. they are juxtaposed and polar opposites.
Just as it was hu jack that led us to our first opening day win in years!

I’ve picked us to be 3 -0 after 3 weeks….but next week we have 2 things going against us—monday night hangover game and playing a 1:00 game on east coast…….Schedule makers hate the Raiders: game 1 on road for Denver’s monday night home opener, short week while traveling across country to play early game, come home to Jets for our home opener, then the Patriots at home…….I don’t care how we got our win last night, that was huge….. GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 13th, 2011 at 12:56 pm
Man will you guys relax like i said thesssde first two games will be harder to play due to the lack of time together as starters. We really struggled offensively because we just haven’t played as a unit give them time to get it together and you’ll see our real offense.
Hopefull by the time we play the Jets we’ll have hit stride and it should continue to get better until we see the full potential of the offense.
I expected the defenses to be way ahead of the offenses due to the lack of an offseason as well as short preseason. But we also saw a lot of defenses who were out of synch this weekend and will get better.
This is a very strange year by a lot of aspects so again give it time.

I think the d tires because your playing against pro’s your gonna get beat sometimes but also we need to sustain more drives to keep them fresh and that falls back on JCampbell. He’s our best chance to get us there better than Grads better than Garrard better than Pryor so we gotta hope he continues to improve and I believe he will under Hue/Saunders

time to give chuck b some credit, along with our entire defensive coaching staff. they had orton flumoxed and completely baffled. he was tentative and unsure and really was lucky on at least 2 occasions he wasnt picked off! If we hadnt given up the penalties the donks would have been blown out! the run defense was un real! The seconadry showed versatility, and proved they can be effective without area 21.
Please complain about how we only play one scheme because, davis is a meddlesome dictator.

These veterans and little Wiz at left guard will work out a whole lot better.
They’re probably never going to be a great line, but just give them time to jell and they’ll be servicable-especially in the running game.

Man if I didn’t see the game myself and know what went on I would swear JC played terrible from these posts. He actually played a good game, especially ob third down. He got key conversions and 2 red zone scores. This is not the same guy as last year, saw him hang in the pocket and look downfield before going to his outlet and I saw some fire out of him. The talent has been there, now the attitude, and confidence is. Remember we were playing in a rainstorm against a crappy run d with 2 premium pass rushers, how much dis u expect us to throw?
Barnes played a nice game, blocked well and I saw some nastiness from him
September 13th, 2011 at 1:05 pm
DHB makes two catches for first downs. 10 yards and he is our number one go to guy. I can make that catch. His catch down the sideline was impressive for him. But 100 other guys in this league make that catch everyday. He isnt the answer. He was force feed the ball. DMoore ran the same hook route and was just as open.
Glad to see contibuted.

Campbell was serviceable. The one deep ball to DHB was not a good throw. DHB was singled up, there was no safety coming over, he had beaten his man, and if he lays that out a tiny bit more onto the field, not only would Campbell have had a much better statistical game, that play probably would’ve broken the Donkey’s backs. For a rookie, eh. For a 7th year guy, he has to make that throw. But otherwise Campbell did OK.

ALL passes thrown DHB’s way were caught. That’s the most important thing for a receiver. Duh.
McClain was there, where he needed to be, most of the night. No, he’s not Ray Lewis, and never will be, but he played a good game…including having a huge part in stopping a couple of Denver TD-scoring chances. McClain’s doing just fine, thank you.
“…but you’re silly if you think Hue Jackson beating Denver by 3 at their place is more impressive than Tom Cable slapping them around like a new york broad by 45″
As much as I LOVED watching the Raiders kill the donks in Denver last year…what is much more impressive is the way we’re 1-0 to start a season, and have won on a prime-time, nationally televised game for the first time in 8-years. I’ll take that over any start we’ve had in nearly a decade.

YOu really dont get it?
DHB showing continued development is huge for THIS team. Not only is he showing he can be a reliable player, and clutch, but he showed he can be the number one target. Isnt that what he was drafted to do? I dont care what other recievers on other teams do. i only care about DHB growing into the role that Davis envisioned him in, and he is on his way.
Picking out one bad pass on play that didnt even count because of apre snap penalty is beyond weak. next your going to complain about the deep pass to dhb. If I told you our qb would pass for a socer , run for a score withotu any turn overs in a win, would you be happy?
That is exactly what happened, JC is now 7-0 vs the afc west, and you want to knit pick 2 throws.

Cable is a real good offensive line coach.
When he worked that job for us most of the blog wanted him signed to a long term contract as offensive line coach.
As head coach his play calling sucked but he did us a lot of good and was partly responsible for changing the crappy attitude on the team.
Not to mention leading the Raiders to our best record in seven years.
Now that he’s with Seattle, I hope he loses every game but you have to give a man his due.

He should have slightly bent the route back toward the middle of the field to allow more room for the pass on the boundary. That is a small detail that can easily be corrected. I cant describe how excited I am to see this kid who has clearly grown in confidence. I love how JC looks for him in all situations and at all times during the game.

536. Giordano made a better play on the pic than DHB did on that deep ball.
============================================
They are not comparable plays. On one play the player is already deep downfield facing the Q. He breaks on the ball, makes the catch and gets his feet down. The other play, the players back is to the Q, he is running full speed away from the Q, the Raider sidelines starts yelling “ball, ball, ball” and he has to look up behind himself, make the catch running full speed without looking down. Don’t get me wrong, Giordano made a really nice play, but comparing that is apples and hula hoops.

September 13th, 2011 at 1:30 pm
Regardless if DMAC scored or not it was worth replaying!!
Great Raider win!!! Hue had this team ready. They were fun to watch. Yes,the Raiders must clean up the penalties.
The play that sticks in my mind and hinders the Raiders progress to be a great defense is the play where I believe it was a pass to the running back coming out of the back field. The cornerback had position to tackle the running back from the outside position in and the linebacker had the running back position from the insde out. I could not believe the linebacker did not trust his own player to keep the outside position so the linebacker over pursued the play and the running back escaped the tackle. whose type of plays are inexcusable.

The booing really demoralized the Bronco O. That was a real fist fight out there and then their own fans started booing them? If you go back and watch, that took some wind out of their sails. Sucks to be them.

lets remember a couple of things from last night:
1) Denver receiver were dropping balls
2) Kyle Orton fumbled with nobody touching him
3) JC passed for 100 yds
Now. win is a win, but its not like we played lights out. better improve for the Bills game.

Not only is Tom Cable a good Offensive Line coach, he is a good football coach. If you are talking about the Seattle/Whiner game, lst off, the Whiners have a good dline. 2ndly, Seattle has two rookies, and two 4 year players starting on that line. That’s why they went out and got Gallery. And Gallery did not suit up.

That’s ridiculous. The ball was out of bounds. So what you are saying he should be running a 4.3 forty, beats his man, as he is watching the ball come in, he somehow simultaneously should be watching the boundary to see where he is?
—————————————————-
You gotta go up and get that ball up high before it goes out of bounds.
————-
That was “catchable” but maybe only for some of top WRs in the league. DHB is not one of them…he’s still learning to catch and locate the ball. The safety was not close enough to help on that play so JC shouldn’t have had to throw it that much to outside. (whether he did that intentionally or not is another question…my guess is that it was not intentional).
September 13th, 2011 at 1:37 pm
Hue Jax needs to start fining these guys for those penalties. A $100 per penalty yrd. So a 10 yard penalty would cost a $1,000. Thats the only way to get through to these guys.

The pass was a bomb, not a quick 5-yard out at the sideline. Thus, the pass was had plenty of arc to it. It should hit the ground in the playing field, not 2 feet out-of-bounds. I put that one and the other missed pass to DHB on JC.

No, I don’t think so Mistic. Al hired him as OL coach because he was good and he was during the Kiffin years.

September 13th, 2011 at 1:39 pm
Denver’s receivers were never good, I’m thinking. Some of these guys were Shanahan’s players, and of course the media crowned them because Mike Shannahan would never acquire a bad player. But you take away his system, his formula, that gave them space and got them open, and make the offense more meat and potatoes, these players are struggling in one on one match ups.
September 13th, 2011 at 1:39 pm

=============================
Why do tom cable coached lines give up so many sacks? it has happened to every line that he has coached. They end up being decent zone blockers in the run game but cant pass protect. This is a fact that cant be disputed. I would rather have an o-line coach that doesnt have as much name value, but protects my qb.
September 13th, 2011 at 1:41 pm
DHB has to wait for every ball to come down and hit him in the breadbasket to catch it.
If he goes up with his hands on that play, he could have come down in bounds. Like a “Playmaker”.

it wasn’t a linebacker…i believe it was Branch and yes he overpursued and didn’t realize that Routt had the outside…ridiculous. Speaking of ridiculous, two raiders (i think mcclain and giordano) jumping on a fumble and it squirts back to the Brandon Lloyd who is on the floor 1-2 yards away. that drove me nuts.

DHB can’t catch with his hands..not even the short ones. all of his catches last night were with his chest…at this point we just have to hope he can be an average or above average receiver.

You can’t do that. It’s against league rules. Unfortunately.
September 13th, 2011 at 1:45 pm
“DHB makes two catches for first downs. 10 yards and he is our number one go to guy. I can make that catch. His catch down the sideline was impressive for him. But 100 other guys in this league make that catch everyday.”
—————-
Wrong.
How many times have we seen our “clutch” performers (i.e., Murph, JFord, and even ZMiller, et al) drop important catches in the middle of, and at the end of, games in recent years? CLANG!
DHB was given responsibility last night, and he responded like a veteran pro at crunch time.
And…there is a HUGE difference between the ball to DHB out-of-bounds, and the one that the roving Safety made later: the WR was streaking up field, all momentum taking him toward the goal line…whereas a roving Safety, moving laterally to his left was able to make a play on the ball STILL IN BOUNDS, and get his feet in. It was a great catch, and a great play…but the difference in body position(s) and their respective momentum are noteworthy.
Will DHB start catching the ball with his hands more? I hope so. He showed during the preseason that he’s doing that much better. But, as long as he keeps catching it, he’s doing his job.
If JCampbell would let the ball fly on-time on the deep routes (he’s already much improved on the shorter ones), ALL of his WR’s will look better, not just DHB.
September 13th, 2011 at 1:45 pm
Cables system leads to very good run blocking, Atlanta lead the NFL in rushing under him and we were a close second last year. Seattle will not continue this trend because their backs arent very good. They arent bad but, they definitely arent explosive.
September 13th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
Mistic
First off they called a time out when JC got over excited and throw the ball in the dirt.
Second….I would love for DHB to be the next Tim Brown for this team.
Third…. I would love JC to take us all the way.
I just don’t understand the excitement over mediocre play at two positions.
DHB takes up a spot where we are clearly better. Let him grow in practice.
BUT!!!! You see the game your way I see it mine it’s not up to me to rain on what you liked about the game.
I’m just saying what I think of how they played.

Anybody in Dells Fantasy league need a TE? Dallas Clark is on the block for a RB.
September 13th, 2011 at 1:49 pm
Boss was a BIG missing piece of the puzzle yesterday. Meyers is an inadequate replacement – he couldn’t get any separation to make a difference. TE’s make up a BIG part of the offense. The Pats used 2 TE formations most of the day yesterday and Brady played catch & destroy all day long. Had Boss been available yesterday, the outcome would have been a total runaway. We need to develop Ausberry as the #2 TE quickly. Use Meyers as trade bait for a 3rd or 4th round pick next year.
The O-line still needs attention. I’d recommend picking up Leonard Davis OT-FA (6′6″ 355#) to start at ORT. Move BCampbell to ORG. Carlisle just doesn’t have the necessary power. Move Wiz 2.0 to center & Heyer to ORG. Doing this will result in a massive mauling O-Line, one that can open the holes we need for the ball control running game. AD has the cap space so let’s use it on the O-line where it will pay the largest dividend.

I have to admit DHB made plays that extended drives. The front seven were everything Raider fans dreamed they would be.

Hey thec,
I assume you mean the fumble. Yeah, I hate that too but I also realize that guys on the other team are always going to make plays every game and that was one of them. Helmet to ball usually equals a fumble.

you are not making sense. cable was head coach and heavily involved with the oline last year.
===============================================
It’s not like Tom Cable had the 1984 SF Whiner Offensive line to work with in the course of his career. But here, all I have to say to all of you is this: Jared Veldheer. He didn’t coach himself. And boy did he look good yesterday.
September 13th, 2011 at 2:14 pm
The game wouldn’t have even been close if it weren’t for Condo. He fell flat on his ass unblocked when Decker ran that punt by him for the TD.
The chump is CODE BROWN! A menace to victory!
Oh, and where is Dakota? Haven’t seen him since that glorious Wolverine blowout of ND.

September 13th, 2011 at 2:14 pm
Yeah cable sucked but he got us to 8-8 and built our running game to #2 in the league.
Make any excuses you want but those are the cold hard facts.
Does he suck as a head coach YES
will he ever be a Head Coach again Probably NOT
Will he always find work as a O-Line coach in this league YES he will.
But in reality WHO CARES!!!! He is gone we have a new coach now. Stop complaining about the past.

“Campbell misses deep routes to Ford and Murphy as well, not just DHB. He is commonly inaccurate, or short, on the deep ball.”
So true but once you say something like that on this blog you will hear…..Oh MY GOD JC elevated the play of the entire team he is the best QB in the AFC hands down!!
You must not be a Raiders fan if you don’t cling to every JC pass like a pubic hair on teeth. You call yourself a Raiders fan thinking someone on this team needs work!!
If I knew where you lived I would hunt you down and kill you go to the niners blog HOW DARE you say JC needs work you most certainly are a racist!
Which is why I keep quiet about his pedestrian performance last night.

No silver & crack your quiet because we cant hear you from under neath cam newton and jason campbells ball sack!!!!!

The running game was definitely helped by more zone coverage. A few of those 10 yard runs woulda been 40 last year.
September 13th, 2011 at 2:16 pm
Mistic, I imagine the complaints about our defense will come when we play against a real offense.

Who gives a crap, we won. I don’t care who, where, what or why, we did it…At the end of the day, the goal is to have one more point than the other team. Doesn’t matter how…defense, offense, special teams, mental collapse by the other team, it doesn’t matter.
I’ve seen us on the other side of the coin time and time again, and this has typically been the type of game that we lose. So we got that monkey off our back…let’s move on to the next one now. Next up, Buffalo!

people dont want to admit but we won a game we would have lost in the past. We couldnt have over come the mental errors, turn overs and special team plays on the road.
HU jack and the leaders of this team didnt fold the way they have in the past, they sacked up and won!

Man, I LOVE the way Hue Jax represents.
Loved the way he came out at the start of the game with that big smile and fist pumping.
Loved his post game comments about giving his game ball to Mr. D.
Hue knows how to be gracious and show respect. He’s grateful to Mr. D. and makes no bones about it.
I know that must piss off the Davis haters immensely, but it makes me very happy.
Hue, you’re doing a great job representing this organization. Keep up the good work.
September 13th, 2011 at 2:25 pm
Compare this game to the az game last year. a team we were supposed to beat on the road. Grads loused it up, specials team blunders and sloppy play doomed us.
This year the same scenario yet we win, and could have blown them out.
What is the difference between this year and last year at az?
HU jack is the head man and the tam has his attitude. The qb is 1000 times better and made the right plays instead of the head scratching turn overs.
Leaders have emerged on offense and defense, and our young players are getting better at a really fast rate.
2011 raiders are head and shoulders better than last years squad.

You really aren’t that bright are you mystic saying someone owns someone like I was out there playing on the field. I won money last week I hit a big fat parlay because I bet on the raiders and was smart enough to stay away from the panthers game so in reality I OWN THEM!!
Now go back to your Metamucil drink and put your teeth back in your scaring the grandkids!

so look out. As the seasons goes we will get much better
10-6 is still my prediction

Raiderinpa,
Watch the replay, Condo fked that play up on his own. He has the center contain and fell down untouched. And that’s supposed to be his forte (look it up).
7 points given up by a non-psition player guy making 2 mil? Not my kinda Raider sry.
September 13th, 2011 at 2:32 pm
POST GAME OSBERVATIONS.
1. I picked Denver, glad I lost. Almost didnt, to close of a game at the end.
2. DHB will never be a top notch receiver. He catches the ball with his body. Also doesnt look fluid in space, he is mainly a vertical receiver… Hagan should replace him.
3. We need way more production out of the receivers.
4. The O line looks great, and Wiz too.
5. McFadden & Bush, probably the best duo in the NFL.
6. Our pass coverage sucks, if Horton can attack the db’s like that, QB’s like Brady & Rivers will complete a lot of passes and beat the raiders easily.
7. JC needs to step up and be a QB. He looked frozen in the pocket at times. We need improvement in this area if the team is to be a bully.
8. Hue, stop saying you are building a bully. That will only pump up oposing teams. Why dont you show it with the play and keep those quotes in the locker room?
9. To many penalties.
10. Buffalo has a passing ofense, and a coach in Gailey that can move the ball.

Yeah, I saw the replay, he was untouched… It was a wet field though… Sure, 2mil is nice cash just to snap a ball a dozen times a game, but if its that easy, why doesnt someone else do it? The guy hasnt messed up a snap yet in 4 years, knock on wood… Maybe he’s the WLB we have been looking for…lol

3.) you will get more from the receivers when the game plan calls for it. last night was about running the ball.
4.) the o line wasnt great, they were guilty of way too many penalties, and carlsile was blown up on a few run plays. they must improve or we will continue to see drive stalls like last night.
5.) pass coverage was fine orton was lost. his 300 yards were worthless stats stuffers. we didnt give up touchdowns or a lot of yards after the catch. could have had at least 3 picks.
6.) looks frozen in the pocket? Jc had 2 touch downs, and could have led more scoring drives if not for the penalties. he managed the game flawlessly and executed the game plan.

Grads also moved the ball up and down the field in that game. I’ll take a QB who’s willing to take some chances and make things happen with the occasional turnover, over a guy who has trouble getting first downs let alone touchdowns.
That said, I thought Campbell looked much better this preseason. He didn’t blow the game last night (he certainly didn’t “win it” but he didn’t lose it either). The conditions were pretty tough there last night, particularly with the crowd noise for a visiting QB. So I’ll give him a pass on this one and expect better things to come in Week 2 in Buffalo.
But don’t try to serve up this nonsense that he looked good last night.

This sounds exactly like the garbage you and the other JC haters posted after JC and the raiders won last year.
Yes the game plan was to run. It was raining the donkeys arent a good run defense, and they have two very good pass rushers. they had the right game plan. You dont want to give JC credit for the scores but he did make the plays, and lead those scoring drives. Do you take tds off the board because a player was wide open?

we cannot crown him yet. Lies!!!!!!’
I do have confidence that he will get there as the season progresses. Lies!!!!!!’
you signed yourself up for with predictions for Jc to flop: Lies!!!!!!’
I said he needs to improve, how is that hating him or not wanting him on the team? Not to mention I have spent thousands of dollars on tickets last year and this year, for what to go root for my team to fail?
Not logical old man.
Make up your mind you confused old man your spinning is making me dizzy!

Grads also moved the ball up and down the field in that game. I’ll take a QB who’s willing to take some chances and make things happen with the occasional turnover, over a guy who has trouble getting first downs let alone touchdowns.
===============
then you will take losses over wins as well?
grads lost every game he started for us last year and was banished to be a back up for the bungles because he cant beat an over ratted noodle armed rookie.
JC IS 8-5 AND UNDEFATED IN THE AFC WEST!!!!!

“But don’t try to serve up this nonsense that he looked good last night.”
Amazing spin job isn’t it?

You know I was pissed to see Hagan was not playing. Unless is hurt that makes ) sense to me man. What is up with Chaz? I guess he is a decoy now as well.

My favorite comments (in no particular order):
* I expect to see Mr. Miller be cut as he was irrelevant tonight, and letting that one punt return that he could have fair caught at the 15 yard line bounce to the 2 yard line, might have just sealed his fate.
* Did Nick Miller even field a punt last night? The guy is worthless!
* Hagan to be active. What did N. Miller provide us anyway? Bad call.
* Has Nick Miller been FIRED yet? For not fair catching that punt at the 20….Idiot…
* Nick Miller is just keeping Pryor’s roster spot warm
* NMiller should not touch the field
* nicki miller sliced…Hagan will be a crucial part of this team
* Nick Miller has got to get off of Punt return team, too many bad judgements inside the 20, goes back to last year, and last night was no different…
* Cut Nick Miller, we could have used Hagan on some of those 3rd downs
* agree with this, that fool didnt do schyt.
* When Nick Miller didn’t field that punt on the 15 and it bounced down to the 2 before it was downed…”Nick” downed himself off the squad.
* Somebody mind telling me why Nick Miller is our PR?
* Miller should not be back there returning kicks. He’s a disaster. He shouldn’t even be taking up a roster spot
* Hopefully Boss and Hagan will be in and Miller will be wearing civvies.

Is Hue listening ???
^^^^^^
No point in having Miller there right now I agree.
They should have D Moore doing the PR duties and get Hagan in as part of the WR corp rotation!
September 13th, 2011 at 3:04 pm
D Moore will make more plays at the PR position compared to Miller!

POST GAME OSBERVATIONS.
==========================
1.) are you a raider fan? are you picking buffalo too?
2.)DHB looks vastly improved and is clearly a better catch and run guy, than he is a vetical guy. Although he really improving there as well. plenty of top receivers catch with thier bodies in the nfl.
3.) you will get more from the receivers when the game plan calls for it. last night was about running the ball.
4.) the o line wasnt great, they were guilty of way too many penalties, and carlsile was blown up on a few run plays. they must improve or we will continue to see drive stalls like last night.
5.) pass coverage was fine orton was lost. his 300 yards were worthless stats stuffers. we didnt give up touchdowns or a lot of yards after the catch. could have had at least 3 picks.
6.) looks frozen in the pocket? Jc had 2 touch downs, and could have led more scoring drives if not for the penalties. he managed the game flawlessly and executed the game plan.
7.)Hu jack’s bully mantra is echoing through the halls in alameda in the minds and hearts of his players. Who cares if the other team knows it.
==========
2) Thats your opinion.
3) Youre probably right, well find out inf a few weeks when we play top notch passing offenses.
4)Youre right, to many penalties, but when they ran, there were nice lanes, thats what I meant.
5) Well find out when we play Brady & Rivers
6) Thats your opinion.

We still need to fix the O-line. Satele, Carlisle & Barnes are NOT the answer. They, Satele & Carlisle, are simply not powerful enough for what Hue wants to accomplish. Neither can hold up to a bull rush. Barnes is simply not starting ORT material. He’s fine in his role as the elephant blocking TE and as an emergency back-up OT. Other than that he’s just a liability. We need those 3 positions filled with more powerful players. Here’s what I recommend: Pick up Leonard Davis as a FA-ORT (6′6″, 350#) He was released by Dallas as a Cap space move. Stick him in at the ORT. Bring BCampbell up to the starting ORG position. Again power and fast pulling capability. Move Wiz 2.0 to center. Leave Satele as back-up center or just trade him for a 4th or 5th round draft pick. Move Heyer to OLG. That would give us a line of Veldheer, Heyer, Wiz, BCampbell & Davis. If we can’t get Davis then use Barksdale at ORT. Let him learn on the job if necessary. He’s already better than Barnes and has a good upside. With this line-up we will have the Bully O-Line group that HueJack wants. Our running ball control game will be gold. Our passing game will improve by default with that running ability.

Chris…
You make too much sense bro… but you must relent. .. j.c. is our qb weather you like him or not… I for one can’t wait for Pryor to mature….. I already know what we have in Campbell and he might be an adequate qb…. but IMO. .he’s not super bowl material. .. but jc is the best qb on the team right now… so I’m backing him weather I like him or not…. but I totally see You’re point
September 13th, 2011 at 3:28 pm
If Grads was the Qb we would have won 49-0 . His clutch preformances are the stuff of legend . His Deep accurate throws make Brady look like Jamarcus. If only he could play defense! He would have 2 sacks and a INT because he is such a athletic weapon …Im getting MY number 5 bengals jersey today !
September 13th, 2011 at 3:53 pm
Quick observations from the game last night with a better analysis later:
Secondary played surprisingly well overall, despite some BS PI calls. Giordano looks like he can play!
Groves stepped it up and play well.
I liked the Huey and Saunders opening the playbook with multiple sets and looks that we have not seen before, to utilize all their weapons on offense. Why didn’t Hagan play?
Huey, Saunders and JC need to shorten the snap count though, especially on the road. It gets too loud and you can’t have your O-Linemen in their stances waiting forever to get the ball hiked. False start penalties are inexcusable, however they need to shorten the damn snap count on the road!
They need to score more TD’s in the red zone. In the red zone….DMC should be the #1 and #2 option as a runner or received to score that damn TD! Everyone else is complimentary.
Penalties need to be reduced of course.
I actually liked some of the blitz calls by Chuck B, but they still need to be executed better.
Houston and Shawny need to get to that QB and Wimbley needs to be unleashed vs Buffalo and get to Fitz!
Huey needs to have this team wake up 3 hours earlier all week long starting tomorrow to help them prepare their bodies and inner time clocks to an early East Coast game in Buffalo on Sunday.
These guys need to be fresh for the first East Coast game of the season. I would like to see them pound the rock with DMC, Bush and Jones and control the clock to keep the Bills passing attack off the field!!

^^^^^^^^
The Raiders line if stronger with the experienced Satele at Center and Wiz at LG. This is Carlisle last year as a Raider I would think, but the guy adds valuable experience to that O-Line and he doesn’t make penalties.
I was disappointed with Heyer last night, but I think he will be alright and I think I know Barnes problem. He doesn’t get low enough in his stance and get his back azz down more. He will hold his balance if he just gets into lower position.
Plus the long azz snap counts when the opposing teams crowd is going nutts doesn’t help the O-Line.
The snap count needs to be shorter when the crowd gets louder!
I would like to see B Camp get some snaps in the elephant, short yardage, and goal line packages.

POST GAME OSBERVATIONS.
1. I picked Denver,
2. DHB will never be a top notch receiver. He catches the ball with his body. Also doesnt look fluid in space, he is mainly a vertical receiver… Hagan should replace him.
3. We need way more production out of the receivers.
4. The O line looks great, and Wiz too.
6. Our pass coverage sucks, if Horton can attack the db’s like that, QB’s like Brady & Rivers will complete a lot of passes and beat the raiders easily.
7. JC needs to step up and be a QB. He looked frozen in the pocket at times. We need improvement in this area if the team is to be a bully.
8. Hue, stop saying you are building a bully. That will only pump up oposing teams. Why dont you show it with the play and keep those quotes in the locker room?

Cable is great! Where ever he goes qb sacks don’t follow. when he coached in atlanta vick wasn’t amongst the sack leaders. Year after year here in Oakland our line routinely was near the top in sacks given up because we are Oakland! Now we don’t see the same pattern in Seattle, where there qbs will finish the season!
Cable and his o line coaching has been exposed as a myth

mission acomplished!!
Dmac rushed for the 150 I said he would
an bush got the yds I predicted.
But it won’t happen against the good teams.
Man this was a nail biter with all the flags. We lose that game usually.Lucky for the field goal.
I’m glad we showed heart resilience an stamina
but we won’t keep it up! keep it up
