Raiders enter toughest part of schedule after brutal loss
By Steve Corkran
Sunday, September 18th, 2011 at 3:26 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Playing the New York Jets and New England Patriots in back-to-back weeks wasn’t going to be easy under any circumstances. Now, Raiders coach Hue Jackson gets the unenviable task of rallying his troops on the heels of a fall-from-ahead 38-35 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
The Raiders allowed touchdowns to the Bills offense on all five of the Bills’ second-half possessions and failed to hang on to what seemed an insurmountable lead.
Raiders coach Hue Jackson was hopeful of returning to Oakland with an unblemished record, a locker room full of confident players and thousands of fans eager to climb aboard the Build-A-Bully Express.
Those hopes were dashed when the Bills turned a fourth-and-goal play into a game-winning touchdown. The Raiders came close to pulling out the victory on a Hail Mary pass from Jason Campbell to rookie wide reciever Denarius Moore on the final play of the game.
In the end, Jackson is left with the consolation of knowing his offense played well, he can rely upon Moore, veteran receiver Derek Hagan and that his defense needs to find a way to get consistent pressure on the quarterback and get off the field.
*Much has been written about Moore in these spaces the past seven weeks or so, about how he was the best player in training camp for the Raiders.
Yet, no one was going to take Moore serioulsy until he performed in a regular-season game. Mission accomplisheed for Moore.
He caught five passes for 146 yards and one touchdown, executed the back-end of a double reverse for 25 yards and almost came away with the ball for a game-winning touchdown.
Jackson summed it up best early on in camp when he said that the game doesn’t seem too big for Moore. Indeed, there is nothing about Moore that indicates he is a rookie.
He caught everything he got his hands on, including a 50-yard pass for a touchdown in double coverage that gave the Raiders a 35-31 lead late in the fourth quarter.
For quotes from Moore on his breakout game, read beat writer Jerry McDonald’s game story in a little while. I was not at the game and have no access to player and coach quotes.
*Moore wasn’t the only wide receiver to make a huge impression. Veteran Derek Hagan was activated for the first time this season in light of the Raiders being without the services of receivers Jacoby Ford (hamstring), Darrius Heyward-Bey (knee) and Louis Murphy (groin/hamstring).
He caught five passes for 61 yards and performed the way he did throughout training camp and Oakland’s four exhibition games, when he was their leading receiver.
It will be interesting to see how Jackson uses his receivers once Ford, Murphy and Heyward-Bey are healthy. That might come as soon as next Sunday in the home-opener against the New York Jets.
*Quarterback Jason Campbell had a quiet but spectacular day throwing the ball. He completed 23 of 33 passes for 323 yards and two touchdowns.
The lone blemish came on the final play of the game, when his Hail Mary pass into the end zone was intercepted. He finished with an impressive 108.5 passer rating.
Numerous times, Campbell guided the Raiders on sustained drives, completing key passes on third down that kept alive the drives. He also converted a third-and-one play and scored a touchdown on quarterback sneaks.
*According to STATS LLC, the Bills became the first team to score touchdowns on all five second-half possessions since it started keeping track of such things in 1993.
On those drives, the Bills piled up 366 yards on 40 plays. In doing so, the Bills overcame a 21-3 halftime deficit and improved to 2-0. They have scored 79 points in two games.
*The Raiders felt as if they were on to something when they held the Denver Broncos to 38 yards rushing Monday night.
The Bills rushed for 217 yards, including 43 on one run by running back Fred Jackson in the third quarter. The Bills averaged an astonishing 8.7 yards per rush.
*There was some concern about how the Raiders would respond to playing a game on the East Coast only six days after a road game against the Denver Broncos.
That turned out to be a non-issue, as the Raiders jumped to a 21-3 halftime lead and appeared headed toward their first 2-0 start since the 2002 season.
It’s possible that the long flight and playing three time zones away from home caught up with the Raiders in the second half, though.
*Running back Darren McFadden turned in another fine showing on the heels of his 150-yard rushing performance against the Broncos.
McFadden accounted for 143 yards offense and two of Oakland’s five touchdowns. Overall, the Raiders rushed for 131 yards, but only at 4.4 per attempt.
A second-half fumble that was recovered by the Bills led to one of the Bills’ five touchdowns and overshadowed McFadden’s solid play.
*Raiders cornerback Chris Johnson had a game he just as soon would forget ever happened.
The Bills went after him time and again, especially in the second half, when Johnson was lined up against receiver Stevie Johnson.
In the end, Johnson had a chance to be the hero. He had his hands on a Ryan Fitzpatrick pass in the end zone, only to have it knocked away by Donald Jones.
Johnson had his fair share of Oakland’s eight penalties, as well.
Fellow cornerback Stanford Routt intercepted a pass for Johnson in the first half, and he also broke up a pass at the goal line. That apparently was enough for the Bills to stay away from Routt and go after Johnson.
*The Raiders played penalty-free football until midway through the second quarter. It appeared as if the added emphasis upon reducing the penalties that plagued them the first game was paying dividends.
Lo and behold, the Raiders committed eight for 85 yards in the final 2 1/2 quarters and several of those helped the Bills keep alive drives and get back in the game.
*Raiders middle linebacker Rolando McClain rebounded from a game in which he went without a tackle to post a team-high 10 against the Bills. He also broke up three passes.
However, stats oftentimes are misleading, as was the case with McClain’s overall play today. He missed several tackles throughout the game and struggled in pass coverage, at times, too.
*Fitzpatrick attempted 46 passes against the Raiders without being sacked. This, against a Raiders defense that entered the game tied for the league lead with five sacks.
The credit goes to the Bills offensive line for executing their assignments well and throughout the game, the Bills for running quick-hitting plays that didn’t give the Raiders much time to get to Fitzpatrick, and the Raiders unwillingness to blitz often.
The Raiders blitzed quite often against the Broncos, and it paid off time and again. The few blitzes that were called by defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan on Sunday most times were with two players who seemed more content with taking up blockers and not getting to Fitzpatrick.
*Rookie running back Taiwan Jones touched the ball for the first time in a regular-season game. It came on a run in the first half that netted 4 yards. He didn’t touch the ball the rest of the game.
*Strong safety Tyvon Branch also came up empty on a pass that should have been intercepted. Fitzpatrick’s pass went right through Branch’s hands in the end zone and into the hands of tight end Scott Chandler for a touchdown.
*The injury to Ford necessitated Nick Miller pulling double duty as the punt and kick returner. He, too, had a rather forgettable afternoon.
Miller averaged only 15.3 yards on his four kick returns — Ford is the regular kick returner — and 9.5 yards on his two punt returns. Twice, he slipped on kick returns and was stopped shy of the 20-yard line.

I don’t think anyone should be surprised with the result of this game, heartbreaking though it may be.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:34 pm
Guy………the dline was non existant today. Even with our spott secondary, no way should a QB have that much time
September 18th, 2011 at 3:36 pm
running game was good
passing game was good.
defense was good for awhile but fell apart. cj killed us. just killed us.
and like i said, miller sucks as a return man.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:36 pm
This was hands down the worst half I have ever witnessed by a Raider defense.
Simply stupid. The mental errors, blown assignments, penalties, and missed tackles are inexcusable.
Getting beat is one thing. Playing stupid is another.
I am not sure if the fault falls on coaches or players but the inability to make ONE play on defense in 5 possessions should lead to the loss of a job for someone.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
D-line rushed the passer well, Fitzpatrick just did an excellent job of recognizing that the middle of the defense was soft. Short slants killed the Raiders today.
Run defense is still a problem… shocker.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
A few impressions:
1) Rolando McClain has had two horrible games. He continues to fail to get off of blocks. He is not in the same league as Patrick Willis or Ray Lewis. What’s more he fails to break down for tackles, and thus misses tackles.
2) Our offensive line game Campbell all kinds of time. I was worried about them going into the season. I am feeling much better about them.
3) Our DBs have been exposed. Stanford Routt is no Nnambi, and Chris Johnson is Chris Johnson.
4) Nick Miller’s return capabilities leave much to be desired. Sorry Nick, I’ve been a backer, but after that performance I think you may be shown the door. You aren’t Wes Welker or Danny Amendola (sp?) – though we wish you were.
We didn’t stop them one time in the second half, the offense had nothing to do with that.
Bottom line, we still can’t stop the run, and if we can’t do that, we give up the pass. Pretty depressing loss.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
YA….exactly. I knew eons ago on a short week this is gonna be a tough one to pull out. Yeah let it slip and now gotta go up against the JETS and PATS at home. Simple as that
September 18th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
Big Rich is either hurt or age has caught up with him. Single blocked all game, both games. Agree d line rotation was poor today.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
“….the Bills became the first team to score touchdowns on all five second-half possesions..”
That says it all.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
On the bright side first place going into week 3
September 18th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Also McClain played a horrible game. Mike Mitchell will be a boost to cover these damn tight ends.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:39 pm
Bottom line, we still can’t stop the run, and if we can’t do that, we give up the pass. Pretty depressing loss.

Yeah well they hardly had Big John out there when Bills had big runs. Desmond Bryant cant play the run for schit and I saw Kelly and Seymour get whooped many times.

Also Nick miller sucks big balls.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:40 pm
I DON’T GIVE A D@MN WHAT ANYONE HAS TO SAY ABOUT BEING TIRED OF THE WHOLE WR ARGUMENT. MY BOY HAGAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYING IN THE GAME. NEXT TO MOORE AND MCFADDEN HE HAS THE BEST HANDS ON THE TEAM. CONSISTANT DUDE MAN. LIKE I SADI BEFORE NY MUST HAVE BEEN OON CRACK TO LET HIM AND BOSS GO FOR NOTHING!
IS MILLER AL’S GREAT COUSINS GRAND SON OR SOMETHING? HOW IS THIS SCRUB STILL PLAYING? THERE MUST BE SOME IN THE FAMILY CONNECTION. I MEAN D@MN!!!! YOU LEAVE HAGAN AT HOME LAST WEEK FOR THIS SCRUB AND FOR WHAT? CUT HIS @SS AND GET ANOTHER CORNER. CJ IS NOT GOING TO MAKE IT.

September 18th, 2011 at 3:41 pm
AJ Green = #5 overall pick, 2 games, 2 TD’s and a ridiculous highlight catch
DHB = #7 overall pick, 30 games, 2 TD’s, no highlight catches
September 18th, 2011 at 3:41 pm
Damn, CJ went all caps, lol.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:41 pm
It all starts w/ the D line, if they have no effect this is what happens.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:42 pm
So what offense was not the problem.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:42 pm
We now know that the offense will be fine, especially when we get Boss and Ford back. Defense is another story. Raiders are like the Houston Texans now.

Romac is out of position constantly, he does not have that intuition that great MLB have. He second guesses himself and does not shoot the gap to meet the ball carrier. He is ok on pass defense, horrible in the run game.
Cj is just bad. Need to get Lito back or maybe S. Moore from the practice squad..
Nick Miller needs to get cut, the guy was on skates during returns. I hope Al is not sold that he is the next Welker.
Chuck B needs to go. He is the king of prevent D, that prevents us from winning.

I am not going to lie or offense is pretty exciting but I hate our defense man. they are always so inconsistant.

Man to man is out dated and played out unless you are knocking guys heads off.

Left with finding that silver lining. . .
The young players continue to distinguish themselves. Veldheer & Legacy are a good combo together. Veldheer is light years better than last year. Best LT we’ve had since Jim Lachay (for a minute; fabled Jay Schroeder trade. After they fleeced the Chargers for Lachay. Couldn’t happen today). Houston is a player, dispite the woes of the D today. Perhaps Van dyke gets more PT. Something’s gotta happen with the secondary. Samuel is available, but he’s not a press corner; and the asking price would induce sticker shock. Unless the Raiders would be more interested in playing zone. Gonna be interesting against the Jets. Was hoping the D would be able to stick a hot dog down Sancheesie’s throat. Now don’t know how they’ll stand up (the Jets center did go down today, so, well, there’s that.. .). Anyway, going to be an interesting week @ work (in the PNW; lotsa Raider haters up here).
Obviously Moore, Jones

I’m gonna keep this simple and plain…
The Raiders are a better team this year than the previous 9 seasons, but this one HURTS.
Bottom line-
-Nick Miller sucks…..
-Chris Johnson sucks and has sucked every season except the few games he took over for the even suckier D’angelo Hall…
Yes we miss NNAMDI…A LOT!
-The refs SUCK…The TD that we were penalized for throwing the challenge flag on WAS NOT a TD. He was clearly stopped short of the goal line and we got prison raped on that call. Not to mention the numerous offensive holding penalties that NEVER got called against the Bills!
-Bresnahan has one more week to get his head out of his butt and make the proper adjustments….The RUN D got gouged AGAIN!!!! His defense was NOT prepared this week. Plain and simple!
The way we lost is so disgusting I can’t even enjoy the phenomenal performance of Jason Campbell and Denarius Moore!!

This blown game reminds me of the blown Jaguar game last year, not the sloppy azz Zona game.
The defense blew that game last year, just they blew this one.
Old man Al fires Marshall for the Jags and Miami losses last year and hires Chuck B to basically to the same thing in this Bill game, if not worse??
Ugh…Oooff! What a joke!
The Raiders soft zone is more like a prevent!
Chuck B and all the players on Defense blew this game today and this is exactly what I said was going to happen during the season after seeing Chuck B overwhelmed and the defense playing like utter CRAP in the preseason! It’s going to be like this all year long fellas. Offense will be good and the defense will cost this team wins.

______________________________________________________
Brien,
You know me and you see eye to eye 99.9% of the time, but I disagree with you on this one bruh.
CJ was personally responsible for about 3 drive sustaining penalties that resulted in TD’s for Buffalo.
No way Nnamdi gets penalized that much for PI, back to back to back.
Not to mention the INT that he had in his hands that would have ended the game. That was the one thing he could have done to atone for his piles of crap that he laid all over the football field, and he couldn’t even do that!!!
Chris Johnson sucks, plain and simple. There’s plenty of blame to go around on the defense, but this game was ours to win. Chris Johnson was the biggest liability on defense today. He even realizes it himself. He can take his apology and SHOVE IT!
September 18th, 2011 at 3:58 pm
Does anyone seriously think Shillens is going to be a good receiver.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:58 pm
Fitz is a decent QB. Really smart, pretty accurate, and very ballsy.

September 18th, 2011 at 4:01 pm
why would chuck b. not play zone an keep everyone in the endzone on the last play.They had no timeouts who cares if they got the fourth amd one as long as they did not get the touchdown.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:01 pm
If Nick Miller is on this team next week you know he is Al’s scholarship for some unknown reasons.

Injuries actually helped the Raiders this week. If DHB was in there instead of Moore and Hagan, we would have gone down worse.

Worst game to day in my life ill take this one on my shoulder I will get that sh** fix trust me sorry nation.
______________________________________________________
Brien,
You know me and you see eye to eye 99.9% of the time, but I disagree with you on this one bruh.
CJ was personally responsible for about 3 drive sustaining penalties that resulted in TD’s for Buffalo.
No way Nnamdi gets penalized that much for PI, back to back to back.
Not to mention the INT that he had in his hands that would have ended the game. That was the one thing he could have done to atone for his piles of crap that he laid all over the football field, and he couldn’t even do that!!!
Chris Johnson sucks, plain and simple. There’s plenty of blame to go around on the defense, but this game was ours to win. Chris Johnson was the biggest liability on defense today. He even realizes it himself. He can take his apology and SHOVE IT!
************************************
Damn NNamdi…he wouldnt have made that INT. He gets beats enough when people try him. Hue didnt have his troops ready in the 2nd half
September 18th, 2011 at 4:04 pm
I plan on going to at least three games this year. You guys have any recommendations ? # 54 I’m still bummed over that trade.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:04 pm
Hopefully with DHB coming back next week Hagan wont be inactive-Free Hagan
September 18th, 2011 at 4:04 pm
At least it looks like we will be tied for first place and the Chiefs, and possibly Broncos will be 0-2.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:04 pm
Nick Miller has had a million chances to show he deserves to be in the show, and he is 0 for a million.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:05 pm
Moore should be returning punts.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:05 pm
Lefty…I know you can see JC trusts Hagan and Moore more than any of the other WRs. He was throwing the ball with confidence to those guys.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:05 pm
QB Jason Campbell has a QB rating of 129.9 over his last seven regular season games (126-for-192, 1,493 yards, 9 TDs, 3 Ints)
….
And some people blame him for the struggles of this team.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:06 pm
the O and the D cant ever play on the same track with the raiders. but i guess thats the kind of schyt that happens when your owner hires your d-CORD for you, hue cant walk over and ask that idiot wtf is going on with your D, cause he already knows its BIG AL calling those shots. but i suppose when your middle backer gets called a “cardboard cutout” in camp should we expect any different during the regular season from him?
September 18th, 2011 at 4:06 pm
Go Bengals.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:06 pm
Can someone please tell me WHY THE HELL is Nick Miller still on the team, let alone returning Punts and Kickoffs for us?
What has he done to EARN that position?
I hope some reporter has the balls to ask Hue that at the presser tomorrow!
September 18th, 2011 at 4:06 pm
The only reason Nick Miller is still on the team is because of his long hair and tattoos. Al needed to keep him after losing Gallery.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:06 pm
the dummy played zone as they drove down the field and stopped when he should have.thay was the worse defense I have seen in along time.al davis should have made the trip so he could call the defense,it could not have been worse.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:06 pm
Devil,actually I get sick of all the hate directed at DHB.He and Hagan have had pretty much identical games this year-minus the hold on Hagan,DHB didn’t play today,and people are still hating on the guy-undeservedly.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:06 pm
Miller must not be active next week.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:06 pm
IMO
Hagan = good
DHB = good with potential to be great
Hagan didn’t do anything DHB didn’t do last week -except for the hold

Your Hagan analysis is full of crap! Hagan is definitey not better than DHB …in fact it was like watchig DHB play 1-2yrs ago. You glossed over many things!!! Not coming back for the ball. Couldn’t get open when needed. He was targeted plenty in this game. And he really wasn’t that good. Only OK. He was OK. Not worth all the sweat and championing he got in here.

McClain was awful today too. Well maybe that a bit much. He made some plays but f’kd on others.
So was that damn #27. Whatever his name is.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:16 pm
All you DHB lovers can suck on this:
JC never has a stellar game like this with him in the line up. JC proved that when he doesn’t have to force feed DHB, he can air it out and let it go to the sure hands of Moore, Hagan and Ford. Dmac too.
Raiders do not employ a defensive unit.
Last time the bills scored 35+ points in the 2nd half against the Oilers, the entire D staff got fired. Just sayin

HuJack said NMiller was there because he could be counted on. My question is counted on doing what? He stunk the place up. I was a NMiller fan last year. No longer is that the case. He could be cut tomorrow for another player or waterboy and I’d be happy with that. Get TJones up to snuff with the PR & KOR and the put him in.
RoMac should be doing extra laps everyday for the next month. He was worse than NMiller performance wise. I saw him out their jogging instead of running when he should have been making plays. He simply is NOT a force at MLB. Let’s bring in Tatupu and see if he fits at MLB. Then, let RoMac compete for an OLB starter role.
CJ got burnt time and time again. I believe he was playing injured – and it showed. That’s no excuse hough. He could have redeemed himself and all would have been forgotten had he held onto that last minute INT. What happened to the next man up principle? I believe our rookies would have been no worse than CJ today and maybe better in some cases. Of course the real problem belongs to Bresnahan. He should have given CJ extra help given his effectiveness today. Breshnahan’s whole 2nd half strategy sucked. But, what do you expect from this UFL loser. UFL = Unqualified Football League. That definitely describes Bresnahan’s DC ability. And our D reflected that ability today.

The only reason DHB plays is because Al refuses to look like an idiot for giving DHB 1st round $. Al is not going to let that happen. DHB will start against the Jets and win or lose, JC will be mediocre at best.
Some of you dont get it. Great recievers make a QBs’ numbers look real good. It is that ability to catch the uncatchable, or for the slower minded, the very difficult pass and get some yac’s. Moore and Hagan and Ford can do it now, not another two to three years from now.
I like DHB as a 4 or 5 on the depth chart, but some of ya’ll need to quit clinging onto his nut sack, like Al does.

Bresnhan got his arse handed to him in 2H. That whole defense did. One stop is all that was needed. 1!
The offense is lights out. Thats the good news. We were without 3 of our biggest weapons depending on how you want to count em’ (Ford, DHB, Murph & Boss) and they still lit up the scoreboard.
The offense is unstoppable.

He got first round money. Go figure

Screw CJ and his tweets. He sucks period. I’m sure you’ll redeem yourself. I’ll wait for that. McClain is a bust. Seymour is old and tired and the entire defense is a collective piece of crap.
ONE F’ING STOP and NOBODY could man up and have some ballz and get ONE STOP???

JFORD > HAGAN in several categories, which is why he is and will be a HUGE part of the offense and rightfully so….
No way in hell you start HAGAN over JFORD possesion or not…

DHB has caught every catchable pass so far this year with a couple being clutch, plus the PI. Some people only see what they want to see. DHB should and will start when healthy. The coaches know it an that’s what really counts thankfully.

The offense is lights out. Thats the good news. We were without 3 of our biggest weapons depending on how you want to count em’ (Ford, DHB, Murph & Boss) and they still lit up the scoreboard.
The offense is unstoppable.
___________________________
We were not without our biggest weapons. They were in the game, cept murphy and ford. Don’t u get it, we do not score 35 pts with JC force feeding the ball to DHB. We did fine on O today. We sch1t the bed and rolled in it on D.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:42 pm
Not that anyone here could care less, but this is my last post until next Sunday after the game with the Jets. The pain is just too great to take.
As soon as we threw that 50 yard bomb to Darius Moore, I felt our chances for losing had tripled. Too much time for the opposition, which had owned us in the second half. If we could have just continued with our drive (first and ten to go on our 50 yard line, about 3 minutes 48 seconds) we could have driven down the field while eating up the clock. No, we score and the Bills just have too much freaking time. We lose on the last play of the game. That’s when it really hurts, especially after blowing an 18 point lead at half time.
See you guys next Sunday, after the game. Have a good week and enjoy your postings. Out!

QUESTION:
The day you heard that Al hired Chuck Breshnahan, what was the first thing that came to mind???
Breshnahan is synonamous with the Prevent. We got exactly what we hired. So when we blew an 18 point lead we should not be surprized, he is exactly as advertized.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:43 pm
Please look at the tape man. Anyone saying Hagan is better than DHB needs to get their heads examined. I’m glad Hue sees it as it is and you fools are sittin on the couch.
DHB & Ford are the starters as it should be. Moore & Murphy will get some serious play as it should be. Chaz may have simply lost it with all the injuries.

Most of his opponents just game plan against a stupid team and are proven right by the outcome.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:48 pm
DHB is only starting because he gets paid. Terapin you should know DHB was nothing special at Maryland. I believe he was second team ACC, and the ACC was and is a horrible football conference. Hindsight being 20/20 we should of gone with Maclin. Hagan is better than DHB, his route running is exceptional, has good hand. DHB is a hard worker and good kid, but dont kid yourself he is a 6th round talent at best.

We’re gonna be healthy vs the Jets and we’re gonna get a full week’s rest!
Home opener, and you know our boys are gonna be fired up. I’d want to see Denarius Moore and Jacoby Ford starting, with Louis Murphy in the slot(when healthy). We have many options at WR and that’s a great feeling. Now we’ll get a Mauler of a blocking TE on our squad in Boss. Our offense looks awesome everywhere. The future is SET….Our D on the other hand looks iffy atm. What’s your take on our D?
September 18th, 2011 at 4:54 pm
All of the defensive players and coaching staff should dedicate their game checks to charity.
I am still so f’n mad I can’t think straight.
Someone should pay for this performance… a lost job, no longer starting, something.
Someone must be held accountable for today and the coaching staff must make the players understand that this sh!t won’t be tolerated.
If a real coach was in charge, McClain and Johnson would be on the bench next week.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:54 pm
Def not time for panic, but personnel moves immediately needed: DHB benched for Denarius Moore and Nick Miller put on squad. Find WLB, even if unsigned FA. CANNOT be worse than Quentin Groves.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:54 pm
Why do people hate on Hagan? The guy showed up today. Sure, Moore outshined him, but that’s a good problem to have. DHB ISN’T A GOOD RECEIVER. He’s just okay. Ignore his draft status and then look at him.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:54 pm
No sugar coating the D just sucks!!! Needa turn it up vs Jets or else it could be a log day at the office
September 18th, 2011 at 4:54 pm
DHB has the potential to be a poss WR. He has size and speed, but he catches with his chest and cant run routes. Hagan>DHB

At least the Niners blew their game also and the DisChargers lost!
Looks like Romo redeemed himself today leading a comeback win on the road with a cracked rib!
He stepped it up after being criticized heavily during the week.

The Raiders had a chance to jump out in the division with KC and SD loses today, tough loss but starting the season with 2 road games,,first on Monday night,, then traveling to the east coast for a 1o’clock game against what now can be considered a legit team in buffalo isn’t easy for any team. So i still think we can make some noise and push for the playoffs this year. Atleast we know we have a real offense and Jason Campbel is for real. Denarius Moore is about to become a beast. Once the defense decides to play,,,defense we’ll be a serious threat.

Dmac played well… but I felt the momentum turn after dmac fumbled the hall. .. we were driving and if we would have scored… things might have evened out some… but lets face. . The D’ lost it for us today…it was the most pathetic second half d’ I have ever seen…
September 18th, 2011 at 5:08 pm
His reasoning was that possession cost us the game because we couldn’t stop them.Without the fumble,they have 1 less possession =one less score.

Another first round bust? Rolando McClain.
*****************************
I’m tending to lean in this direction. He’s certainly not a playmaker. He’s not a great tackler. He’s not a run stuffer. So what the hell is he? Let’s look at Tatupu for the MLB position and then see if RoMac can do something at WLB. If he continues to play as he did today, he won’t even be able to beat out Groves. Right now he’s definitely on the BUST career path.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:11 pm
While I do stick up for DHB,I believe Moore is the best WR on the team and am willing to concede the MUP award to him already,barring an injury.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:11 pm
Romac & giordano were terrible, missing tackle after tackle. Romac was easily handled on the inside runs, at times even running into his own teammates and walling himself off from the play. Romac didn’t even come close to getting to the qb when he was sent on the blitz. So far romac hasn’t been able to sustain his momentum from the end of last year. He looked lost.
The secondary war attrocious! Cj with flags, Boyd & giordanno getting jukes out of their cups in the middle of the field. Branch & cj losing touch down saving picks, then giving up tds instead.
Sloppy tackling blown assignments & penalties. The defense got owned.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:12 pm
Rolando McClain…You are the QB of the D…
September 18th, 2011 at 5:12 pm
Today’s game reminded me of last years Jacksonville game….
Let down by the D…Campbell had a good game…gonna need some coverage and Tackling next week…
September 18th, 2011 at 5:12 pm
Mcclain is like Kirk Morrison Jr. Poor angles, makes no impact against the run, and misses many tackles.
Nick Miller??? As soon as he touches the ball, he starts going through these wild gyrations. Is that really running??? To me, he’s way too anxious.
To be honest, I agree with you guys. he has no right being on the roster. He is not any good, PERIOD.

Please look at the tape man. Anyone saying Hagan is better than DHB needs to get their heads examined. I’m glad Hue sees it as it is and you fools are sittin on the couch.
DHB & Ford are the starters as it should be. Moore & Murphy will get some serious play as it should be. Chaz may have simply lost it with all the injuries.
——————————-
I would ask why you are on DHBs jock so much, but with a little research its apparent.
TERRAPINraider and DHB went to college where?
That’s what I thought…..
Moore and Ford should definitely start over DHB, the order after that can be debated.
Its sad that Moore already makes catches expected of someone who was drafted 7th overall.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:13 pm
Englandraider..
Don’t get excited… I know you like dhb… but since Murphy has not even played one down this season/ preseason. .. there would not be much interest around the league for him….I know.. I know… dhb is going to be another Tim brown. . Right??…
September 18th, 2011 at 5:13 pm
Obvious defensive playcall on that 4th and 1. No one in the middle of the field. Dumbest team in America.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:13 pm
Anyway, all this Hagan talk is much to do about nothing. He won’t start. He’s just your little wet dream.
The biggest issue for the day was the defense. Anything else simply distracts from that.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:13 pm
Trade Murphy to the Seahawks.

September 18th, 2011 at 5:16 pm
I hate to put so much stock in an early season game, but that was a back breaker. With the Jets and Pats coming to town looks like a 1-3 start = no playoffs. Better beat the Jets because there is no way in hell that pathetic defense is stopping Brady.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:18 pm
Maybe we can turn the NE game into a basketball game and outscore Brady.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:18 pm
Looks fixable and Raiders had ALOT of chances to take this game and blew them time and time again.
Thats just gonna happen sometimes but good news is the game despite our ineptness was still competetive to the very last play.
We can;t have all those things go against us every game. Just sucked to see them all in one day.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:19 pm
I think McClain was playing hurts since the 1st or 2nd quarter. Still, he looked awful at times. Made some plays in coverage but otherwise awful
September 18th, 2011 at 5:19 pm
This piece of sh!t stupid azz defensive unit will have the raiders at 1-4 after the Jets, Patriots, and Texans throw for a combined 1500 yards and multiple TDs.
They’re too damn stupid to stop it. Can’t tackle, can’t cover, don’t know where to line up or who to cover, and commit multiple penalties.
They won’t even be in a game again until the Browns in week 6.
Then we hear typical bullsh!t after the game. We need more effort… we need to learn how to finish…
Tired of hearing this sh!t. I’ve heard it for 9 f’n years now.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:19 pm
Doesn’t matter if mcclain had 10 tackles, how many were near the los? Maybe 1, but I’d guess 0. He did miss atleast 3 near or behind the los though.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:19 pm
The defense will give up 150 yards and two TDs to Gronkowski.
They need to beat the Jets to start this season 2-2 and go into the Texans game with any momentum at all.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:21 pm
I’m glad.. jc played much better today… if he plats this well the majority of the time.. we would win more games… I’ve been on him a lot… but if he plays like this.. there is no way al Davis lets him go…. hopefully he keeps it up..
September 18th, 2011 at 5:21 pm
How is Nick Miller still on this team?
September 18th, 2011 at 5:22 pm
As I was watching the first half of the Raiders game, I kept saying don’t fk up, don’t fk up! And they didn’t. It was as good as a half as I have seen the Raiders play in a long time.
To piss it away as they did is just more than I can stand. I will continue to watch, but only to confirm that being a Raider fan is hell on earth.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:22 pm
Raiders only needed 1 stop anywhere on the 2nd half and it’s a win….it’s amazing they could be that bad in The 2nd half…they looked slow…when the Bills picked up the pace the Defense never caught up
September 18th, 2011 at 5:23 pm

Why is anybody here talking about the offense when the defense gave up 5 STRAIGHT TOUCHDOWNS ON 5 STRAIGHT POSESSIONS to RYAN FREAKING FITZPATRICK!!! Not Tom Brady, not Rivers, not Rodgers, but RYAN FREAKING FITZPATRICK!!!
That is beyond alarming.
Plus the defense choked and gagged when ALL THEY NEEDED WAS ONE (1) F’ING STOP at any point.

I’m not really sure whether you’re being sarcastic so I’ll just assume you are.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:26 pm
The problem is Chucky B’s prevent D prevents us from winning. Can we get Lito on the phone and bench CJ. While we are at it bench ROMAC and put in blackstock, maybe get on the phone with tatupu. Chuck B can him put Biekert as Def coord.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:26 pm
JC WAS MAGNIFICENT! He was in complete control from start to finish. He destroyed several myths about his game & proved that he belongs for the long term.
1) jc can throw deep a’s he hit Moore time & time again. The first pass down the sideline was most impressive a’s he put it over the db in coverage but in front of the safety that had double coverage over the top.
2.) jc is clutch. He was money on 3rd down, and chose exactly the right times to go deep. He took cculated risk and was deadly accurate even on final play of the game.
3.) jc is a leader. You could see that the offense believes that they will score every time jc has the ball. His confidence in denarious Moore elevated Moores play and made him a star today.
4.) JC can win even when the run game flops. Dmac was held in check & had a terrible fumble. JC took the team on his back and almost willed us to victory.
5.) JC is much more than a mere game manager. JC made critical plays & accounted for 3 tds. He didn’t have a turnover & was the only reason along with Moore we had a chance to win at all. Time to give this cat his respect… Be has earned it.
6.) JC Makes his team better and elevates the play of the entire offense. With out his top four pass catching targets jc leads us to 35 points on the road, and dices the bills defense to the tune of 300 yards. Isn’t this exactly what people jock manning for. Receivers go down yet he still puts points on the board.
Noone should ever doubt number 8 again, he just killed the haters.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:27 pm
Nah, Dakota. We’ll beat the Jets. Pattsies I don’t know.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:27 pm
Its amazing what how a passing game can work with actual NFL caliber WRs. Moore looks really sharp and Hagan at least looks like hes an NFLer. More than can be said for DHB, Schillens or Murphy. DHB shouldnt be active for games.

I have no issues with Moore, just that he’s a rook. I think next year he will be even better and should get a serious look at starting. Sht, maybe even later this year. Who knows? But for now I would work him in as they are doing now.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:28 pm

September 18th, 2011 at 5:30 pm
Moore, Hagan/Ford, Ford/Hagan, Chaz, Murph, DHBust, Molasses Miller
That’s the order of WRs talent and ability on the Raiders.
DHB last week: 44 yards. Hagan this week: 61 yards. Moore this week: 146 yards.
Any math nerds on here? Maybe you can explain that 44 is a lower number than 61 and 146.
Nevertheless, the DHB love fest will continue. Let’s hear more of the following: “He’s fast!” “Drafted so high!” “He blocks!” “Two p.i. penalties against him in a preseason game!” “Lot’s of potential!” “I trust Al and all of his minions!” “You think Moore looked good today?! DHB would’ve done even better!” “Hagan sucks!”

two,
Buffalo used a gimmick offense and the D couldn’t tackle. Their Oline played outstanding and that was the difference.
We’ll get ‘em next time!
September 18th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
I’m sick of everyone giving Seymour a pass too. He’s supposed to be the “leader” of that D. He wasn’t double teamed at all the whole game that I saw.
What happened today was inexcusable.
Raider defense is a pathetic joke…as usual.
Also, when a team blows BIG halftime leads (as they have the first two games) then they are being outcoached.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:32 pm
Tyvon Branch read the play, apparently was in position but couldn’t “pull the trigger. CJ had his hands on the ball but led Jones strip him. Hendu couldn’t duplicate his blocked pass @ the line of scrimmage on the game’s fateful play. And even b4 that Shaughnessy had a chance to alther the trajectory of Fitz’s pass on 2nd & 8 to Johnson on the previous drive but recognized he should a tad too late. Obvious someone has to step up & make the play on ‘D.”
But ponder this for a moment; what if Buffalo actually possesses an upper echalon offense? It’s not like Fitzpatrick just started out. Just suppose. . .

1 play could have made the difference in the game on 4 or 5 different occasions. Tough loss on the road its not panic time. Buffalo is no slouch and they’ve been at home 2 straight weeks!

You can’t expect you linebackers to cover every pass over the middle. Completions on the best linebackers will be made, just need him to wrap up for a minimal gain

If that game isnt disappointing, i dont know what is…
negatives
-Romac played like he had something on his mind other than football, im not sure if he had family issues or gf issues, his head wasent in the game.
-I cant be mad at CJ,he is not nnamdi
-all the nnamdi haters, STFU…the CB for the raiders is equivalent to the QB of most offenses. We ask them to play man and play physical and not many can do that…
-Defensive Line gets 0 pressure and even the first game had deceptive stats of 5 sacks…raiders have problems getting pressure…
-Hue was not out coached!!!! Brenshan was…theres a difference..
-our safeties are bad, and its not all there fault…the defensive scheme puts them in bull sh1t positions..i.e Boyd on Johnson…
September 18th, 2011 at 5:40 pm

Devilr8r, you have the appropriate handle to call for Burfict. The guy’s not an assassin; he’s a bonifide hitman. Undisciplined, though. Didn’t he just get hurt?
September 18th, 2011 at 5:41 pm
And to those who say that no CB can win a game…
Input a quality CB on the field and raiders win this game…ie Nnamdi
Even CJ admitted he lost the game for the raiders

What ever happened to the rule that simultanious possision goes to the offense. I guess now the rule is the players wrestle around for the football on the ground until one takes it away.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:44 pm
I’m usually not too excited about blaming playcalling for defensive shortcomings. Execution and gap discipline cure a lot of ills.
That said, why we kept playing off their receivers when pressing them early worked so well is beyond me. Fitzpatrick was able to get the ball out early because his guys were running free underneath, and it made the defensive line completely ineffective with the pass rush.
Still scratching my head over that.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:44 pm
Nah, Mistabrown, the Bills slew the Chefs @ Arrowhead.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:44 pm
Hey jackasz. The Jets have a good defense (which doesn’t appear to be as good as previous years), and only an OK offense. Well, lets say below average offense. Sanchez isn’t that good. It the defense that keeps them in games.
Raiders have a stellar offense and an OK defense that can play great at times.
Home game with the crowd behind them. They can definitely beat the Jets.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:45 pm
CJ had a bad game but to say he lost it is a bit much.I don’t think anyone on the D,except maybe Routt,should feel good about the way they played today.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:45 pm
. . .But the way the Chefs played and the fact the crowd left so early. Wasn’t a sellout & many fans felt the bad vibe. . .
September 18th, 2011 at 5:46 pm
Burfict is the next Ray Lewis. I say move Romac to the weakside,draft Burfict as a MLB. We would have the scarriest front 7 in the league.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:46 pm
Moore is for real. He just keeps doing it when given the targets. Keep him starting – who cares if he’s a rookie. He shows he belongs. Keep Hagan, Ford, Murphy and DHB rotating. No need for Chaz until he shows his old ability to play. He lost something with all the injuries. Maybe it’ll come back, but he can be inactive until he shows it. Miller should be cut. Moore can return punts successfully. Ford back to kickoffs.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:46 pm

Try this again. (Didn’t get passed the mods, on the first attempt.)
DHWho? Denarius Moore is a straight up PLAYMAKER. He must somehow stay on the field..
Defense couldn’t tackle a sack of potatoes in the 2nd. half. Disgusting..
Nick Miller, should have been given a bus ticket back to Podunk. (or whereever the hell he is from.) Instead of being allowed on the charter back to Oakland…Idiot
Lastly, KCBS ch.2 in SO-CAL can go FORNICATE themselves. for cutting away to the stinking Charger game with :38 seconds left to play…A_holes…
September 18th, 2011 at 5:48 pm
All other teams have to do is line up multiple WRS against us. We don’t have any CBs worth naming outside of the top two (and CJ didn’t show much this game).
Then we keep big Henderson off the field as DT because they’re playing multiple WRs and they can run or pass off of us at will.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:48 pm
The only defensive play calling I had problems with were where each db lined up. I hated CJ on Stevie Johnson most of the (he got beat by other guys too, but it would make a difference) and Boyd covering Stevie Johnson. CJ playing way off the ball didn’t help either
September 18th, 2011 at 5:48 pm
Hey moron,
You said WILL beat the Jets. Of course they CAN beat the Jets. Any team CAN beat any other team in the NFL. Hell the Titans took it the Balt today. Saying they can is a cop out. You said they would beat them. Way to back down. Coward.

I really want to know. Please enlighten me. Everyone on this board including those in the media saw him stink up the joint today.
Please tell me why hanging on to him and forcing him into the lineup will help this team?
Just because you really want someone to be good doesn’t make it so.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:48 pm
I can’t blame chuck b this time. There were plays there to be made but we smoked them off. Chuck b can’t do anything about missed tackles or dropped ints. Seemed to me chuck b had his guys in position several times but they came up small. Penalties & blown coverages hurt, but failing in the fundamentals is on the players
September 18th, 2011 at 5:48 pm
There were Denver players open all over the place last week, they just happened to drop the balls. This defense is not ok or even good, it will turn out to be horrific as the season goes forward. Can’t stop the run, just like last year, and now can’t stop the pass even a little.
Al tanked the season when he made Chucky B the d-coordinator and let our best defender leave.

I’m old school so pardon me this one; Burfict has that Dick Butkus mean streak. Only more intense. He is actually looking to knock people out.
Wasn’t McLain supposed to do that?
But I’m on record; if the Raiders get Burfict, well, Ray Lewis (or @ least Willis) comes to mind. . .I’m on board.
Unless Andrew Luck is available (I’ll have to take a leave of absence then). . .
September 18th, 2011 at 5:51 pm

Moore said he came down with the ball at the end and Buffalo players pulled him off the DB he was fighting with.Where were our guys?
September 18th, 2011 at 5:52 pm
What is with all the Seymour smack???
Do some of you guys watch the games??? Dude didn’t play but half the snaps(guessing) as he was on sideline a ton, and Houston was playing a ton of DT.
Seymour injured his ribs last week, perhaps that is why he didn’t have a great game.

I think DVD is going to be a good cornerback. On the plays in the preseason when he got picked on so much he almost always had good coverage. He just failed to find the ball and make a play on it. He was practically in Fitzgeralds back pocket when Fitzgerald went up and caught the ball over him.
September 18th, 2011 at 5:53 pm

glad I’m not the only one seeing this. If Orton doesn’t drop the ball the Raiders are 0-2.
I have seen nothing from this defense to give me any hope of winning any of the next 3 games.
If the Raiders don’t win again until the first Chiefs game in week 7 this team will be 4-12 or 5-11 at best.

The positive is we almost did what anyone associated with pro ball says is almost impossible-win 2 road games in a row after a short week.Sure the D gaged in the 2nd half,but at least we didn’t get blown out.We showed we have a damn good O that can and will win games.

regardless of how you want to put it…CJ isnt close to the skill set of nnamdi and YES if we had Nnamdi, i do think we win this game.

Im over him, i know he’s gone, but you idiots need to understand that when you play man coverage all game,its takes a special players…

DVD VS CJ 37. the rook has shown he can run with anyone, this used to be CBS claim to fame as well. Cj clearly has lost something as the penalties are largely due to him being out of position or trailing. DVD is improving locating the ball and seems to avoid giving up yac or penalties. The question soon becomes what situation has more upside a struggling vet or a possible struggling rookie? Cable waits to long in this regard last year. Something tells me hu jack won’t be nearly a’s slow on the draw

AP-Oakland, Ca
11 men were arrested tonight in Oakland for grand theft. Apparently charges were filed after these men collected payment for services they failed to deliver. The entire Oakland Raiders starting defense was being held with no bound after refusing to play in the 2nd half of Oakland’s sickening loss in Buffalo. Raiders CEO Amy Trask said she is aware of these charges but has no comment because Al Davis hasn’t woke up yet.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:09 pm

September 18th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
You can’t win with a bad defense…..period…
I hope this game puts that assertion to rest.
That was the worst defensive showing I have ever seen.
The defense gets paid WAAAAAY too much money to put a shhhhhh show like that.
I am also a fool for thinking this defense was on its way.
There is PLENTY of tape for the Jets, the Pats and the rest of the league to salivate over.
The defense has to get it together…
No hopes and dreams or rhetoric….just earn your f’n paycheck

September 18th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
Plain and simple on some occasions the defensive backs and linebackers did not know what the heck they were doing. The knowlegde of knowing what the offense is trying to do to you takes studying the advantages and disavanages of the defensive schemes. When your team has be confused into not to cover the middle of field when they have been burned on similar play schemes before in the same game, is beyond me. The Raiders just got a whippin up front the second half which hopefully someone can figure out.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:13 pm
Nmamdi is special, with Nmamdi we had a top 5 pass d. Nmamdi cant help that the run D was awful. He did his job and shut half the field down. Look at the numbers Top 5 pass D with Nmamdi, 32 in the league pass D without.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:13 pm
Chris Johnson has to go back to the lab. They picked on his sorry self the whole game. His mugging of receivers 15 yards down the field was embarrassing.
Kameron Wimbley did nothing to pressure the QB.
The secondary couldn’t even hold coverage for a split second….
That was awful.
There is no sugarcoating it

They have BLOW UP whatever game plan they had here and start over.
They have 7 days to do it and not a one of those defensive players should take a second off.
That performance was embarrassing
September 18th, 2011 at 6:15 pm
You don’t capitalize on your first non-losing season in 8 years by letting your best player go. Today was an example as to why.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:15 pm
Yeah, I remember times when Besnehan was coaching defense before that the offenses kept completing passes over the middle short for gains over and over and over and over and over again and nothing done to adjust for it.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:15 pm
With the run D, they contain most of the time then they give up the big play (25 yds plus) the reason is the man to man D. The corners have their backs turned to the play.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:16 pm
I thought hu jack did a great job adjusting in game. When the offense hit a lul hu jack dialed up the passing game & let jc put on a clinic. If it were not for the epic collapse of the defense we would be applauding hu for a great called game
September 18th, 2011 at 6:16 pm
And don’t even think about blaming DMAC for this.
When your defense MAKES NO STOPS in the second half…you arent winning the game.
The Raiders could have scored 50 points and it wouldn’t have been enough.
So what do they do to fix this?
September 18th, 2011 at 6:17 pm
With all of the defensive meltdowns, there are huge positives to take away from this. Also trying to go 2-0 on the road after a Monday night game in the first weeks of the season is unheard of. But they almost did it. It’s on tape for all to see, the defense and Chuck are on notice. I’m sure these guys will get it fixed. All eyes are on you Hue.
They finally have an offense to hang with anyone. They should have a shot at any game they go into. It’s time to earn your money defense.
The Raiders will beat the Jets.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:17 pm
Was it Breshnehan’s idea to let Nnamdi go? Because if Nnamdi is suited up in a Raider uniform today, the Raiders are 2-0.

Very disappointing loss. Our Defense didn’t get the job done. Fitzpatrick is a good QB but our D should’ve blitzed more. Wow…D. Moore and D. Hagan were very impressive today. I think we needed our TE Kevin Boss today. I will never talk against Nick Miller but he didn’t play well today. As I said before Nicky needs a little dawg along with some confidence in him. Why did our D fizzle out and allow the Bills back into the game? Did our Defense coach make bad calls today? Hopefully, next week the Raiders will rebound from this crazy loss.

Actually S7B-if McFadden doesn’t fumble that is one less possession they have=one less score and most likely one more score for us,so in essence it cost us the game.But it isn’t the reason we lost.The D lost the game.no doubt.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
I have deep, deep concerns about their ability to be competitive going forward. The Bills made some adjustments attacked the CBs, attacked the middle, attacked the D-Line and the Raiders did NOTHING…literally…NOTHING to stop. it.
The NFL is a beast..you can’t stop something..the opponents just keep comin at you until you can PROVE that you can.
5 TDS on 5 drives in the 2nd hald AND the offense still scoring points. That unbelievable!
Gotta revamp whatever the hell playbook they got. Cause that ain’t workin.
Kameron Wimbley is on my watch list.

Yeah, but Fitz was getting the ball out fast on those quick slants. Dline pressure won’t prevent those types of plays. You either need to send heat or defend the pass. Neither of those things happened today.

Post #332, I hope you’re right. Trouble is, I saw him do that his last year in Washington AGAINST the Raiders & thought he’d be a liability going in. . .
But I did detect the differrence & I ‘ve been looking for signs ever since I knew he would realize continuity for the first time since high school. Just think about that.
Okay, the glass is half full

Routt is good. But if you are going to let Nnamdi go, you better upgrade that #2 corner position. Al didn’t do it. That, and the hiring of Chuck is why this loss is on Al.

Actually S7B-if McFadden doesn’t fumble that is one less possession they have=one less score and most likely one more score for us,so in essence it cost us the game.But it isn’t the reason we lost.The D lost the game.no doubt
====================================================
That’s true. The fumble, right after the Bills scored, got the fans and Bills pumped up…I have to say I was impressed with the offense’s ability to perform under those conditions cause it was loud and rowdy the whole 2nd half.
DMAC has to hold the ball to be sure…and its been a problem for him.
But at the same time…turnovers happen and the defense can’t melt like that.
They have a LOT of work to do
September 18th, 2011 at 6:25 pm
DHB & Moore are proving that they are explosive enough to run by any secondary. For was a little shaky in the opener but I have no doubt that he will bounce back. Hagan seems to have moved ahead of Chaz a’s our possession guy. I don’t have a problem with that.
One thing we know for sure, with JC pulling the trigger, & our bevy of weapons we can score on anybody!
September 18th, 2011 at 6:25 pm

Trust? Waht are you talking about? So in other words you REALLY dont think the Raiders beat the Jets, you just think your cool stuff by saying they WILL….LOL! Come on bro, 100 bucks, straight up. Jets win u pay me. Raiders win I send you a 100 dollar cashiers check.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:26 pm
They should have put the offense on the field when the Bills had the ball to at least confuse them a little.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:26 pm

you are right, they did not have his snap count down. It seems like ROMAC does not have that intuition that great MLB have. He guesses wrong most of the time, and misses tackles. Agree, ROMAC on the Shet list.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:28 pm
When Boss gets back we’llbe able to successfully employ the TE, Jason’s favorite weapon. And as the seasun goes the Raiders can supplant Ausberry & Graham in the lineup, taking advantage of their physical attributes. . .danger zone. . .as long as we can keep it together @RT & center. . .
September 18th, 2011 at 6:28 pm
I really like the offense. That TD pass to Moore was sick ridiculous!
The offense started a little slow but just poured it on. They kept the Bills off balance with a mix of short throws and a few over the top.
Bills focused on stopping DMAC and the running game and JC made them pay.
Offense needs to keep attacking.
Strange to say in these parts…but the receiving corps is deep and is now a strength
September 18th, 2011 at 6:28 pm
Terp said the Jets can’t score. Didn’t they score 32 today? Dumbest quote of the day.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
I’M not down on the Raiders. when you get beat down is own thing but when you our so far out of position you cannot even contest multiple passes there is a serious problem. If you notice good teams secondary have minimal breakdown in coverage and they have the maximum abiliy to contest plays in the seconary on defense.

I’m usually not too excited about blaming playcalling for defensive shortcomings. Execution and gap discipline cure a lot of ills.
That said, why we kept playing off their receivers when pressing them early worked so well is beyond me. Fitzpatrick was able to get the ball out early because his guys were running free underneath, and it made the defensive line completely ineffective with the pass rush.
Still scratching my head over that.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:31 pm

The NFL is a beast..you can’t stop something..the opponents just keep comin at you until you can PROVE that you can.
5 TDS on 5 drives in the 2nd hald AND the offense still scoring points. That unbelievable!
Gotta revamp whatever the hell playbook they got. Cause that ain’t workin.

The Raiders MUST win vs the NYJ c/c we all know the Chargers are going to absolutely rape the Chiefs. RAPE. It’s gonna be a race b/w us and them and we gotta beat teams that we have a chance to beat. The Bills have an Offense that will be top 10, the Jets don’t.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:34 pm
I am out for a while…I am p&ssed to see the defense lay down and get bossed over like that.
I hope they get to work and Chuck B is doing some serious surgery right now.
Keep it simple…
September 18th, 2011 at 6:34 pm
What slays me is this; Al coulda had the last laugh; just give Namdi the Woodson treatment; no, not the door. give him the keys to the defense; let him play that hybrid spot Woodson plays for Green Bay.
Every time I heard the talking heads say Namdi was one dimensional, could only play the right corner.
The guy’s one of the smartest players in the game. He is a converted safety, for God’s sake! The only thing he lacks are ball skills. He never has been known for his hands.
And Hue & Chuck both (unsuccessfully) lobbied to bring back Aso. At 12 mil a year.

You blame the playcalling when the players aren’t in position to win. Chrissy was holding all day because he could not keep up with Stevie Johnson. You use zone and help over the top as a form of deception, not as a crutch for a bad player.

What’s frustrating is that they were mostly focused. They still have concentation problems or something….
Next week IS NOT do or die. Or the week after. The Raiders have some time.

What they have to do is again…beat the teams that they should…and we know those teams.

Asomugha wouldn’t have done much today.
The Raider D-Line was as ineffective as a D-Line could be in the 2nd half.
When you get demolished up front…you can havea an all-pro secondary and it won’t matter.
Now why the DBs kept playing off is a mystery to me. and why Routt can’t trail the best receiver is a big irrritant to me
September 18th, 2011 at 6:41 pm

Not true, who did Fitz pick apart? It was CJ. Nmamdi would of shut down Stevie, Routt would have done his job and now the run has to beat us. Down 21-3 it was obvious they were passing, Pass D with Nmanmdi like I said before is top 5 in the league.

Agreed. The Raiders did nothing after the first quarter to slow or redirect Buffalo’s receivers at the line. Very, very difficult to cover a guy that gets off the line scott-free and has a five-to-ten yard running start.
Call me crazy, but it’s my opinion that when you have a team down, you get more aggressive, not less.

As soon as I say something abou the Namdi situation Michaels, the World’s All-Time Biggest Hater (now you know why Madden retired. He feared for Michaels’ life) has to chime in with fiction.
He antagonistically indicated the Raiders couldn’t AFFORD Namdi. As stated earlier Al, dispite much encouragement otherwise, opted NOT to sign Namdi.

The NYJ will not use the excuse of losing to flying west and playing the Raiders and the patriots won”t either. play all sixty minutes you played the first thirty and you got a real chance.

The guy is garbage. The calls and the schemes are archaic. Maybe it comes back to Al, but still, this man makes John Marshall look like the Dick LeBeau. If I see his confused face on the sideline again, I might just end it all. I think the Defense that showed up against the Broncos is more indicative of the Broncos O than our D.
Oh yeah, RoMac, step it up. You didnt hustle, blew coverage, and couldnt tackle.
CJ37, not the best game, but where was the help. Leaving him on island when getting dominated is stupid. This happens to CB’s in the NFL all the time and the team makes adjustments to help. We didnt.
Finally, WTF was with 5 dudes covering Spiller on the final play. We need to call TO before that play when they come to the line and discuss. We need a healthy Huff (he wasnt this game) and MM34 back. Boyd is slow and only functions as a box safety. As much as I loved Giordano last week, I hated him that much this week. Bad angles and confused and flat footed.
I really thought this was the year, but after the preseason and this game, I think we are 8-8 again at best.
Please show me I’m wrong.

With the Commisioner, the Refs, the media and the whole NFL against the Raiders they need to never give up on Offense and Defense. The Raiders O need to score often and the D need to be brutal at all times never letting up or letting a team back into the game to win.

We got to get off this mentality. It BS and weak minded. Its always easier to blame someone else than look at yourself. I feel this way sometimes but all NFL fans feel this way. When the play happened I was screaming at the TV that we got the catch and tie goes to offense (see Miles Austin catch from last week). But the final replay they showed on CBS showed that Bills player caught it on his own and went to the ground with it. They replayed it after CBS went away from the game and the play was held up. It was the right call.
Don’t be mad at the refs or the NFL. Our D put us in that situation. Good teams dont let that happen. Gannon and Gruden proved that. This team needs to be a lot more tough like Gruden’s teams before we take the next step. Also, we need to a lot more smart football players on our team and not just athletes. That’s why Hagan stands out. He’s not the best Athlete, but he works and he smart. Stevie Johnson is the same.
I am really stoked for Denarious. Him Ford and Hagan can do some damage.
September 18th, 2011 at 7:07 pm

Miller and Hagan are who I thought they were. Hagan is a reliable gamer, who doesn’t get blinded by being the focus of a play in front of 70 thousand or so people..Miller is a guy who looks totally out of his depth on a football field. I am sure he was good at whatever level he played at before he came to Alameda..but he is absolutely useless as the position he has been targeted for..
If it is not incredibly obvious that Millers Roster Spot should have been given to Stevie Brown AND Hagan has more talent in his little pinky than the Mulleted
Smurf has in his entire body, then you need a retina transplant..
Miller showed today what he shows every time he touches the ball….Mediocrity..This guy will never return a punt or a kickoff during a playoff or a Superbowl…unless he is tossing it underhand to the Line Judge as a freakin ballboy…
His play not only sucked, but so did every decision he made..Dude seriously overestimates his ability..How many times did we start at the 14 again???????????????\

When Buffalo marched to score after the opening KO in the 2nd half, you knew their half time was fired up. Now chucky probably told his D “now is as good as any time to play prevent fellas, so we go prevent for 30 minutes and we got ouselves a ball game to take home”. Well your P-vent D sucked ass.

We barely beat a horrible Denver team and some of you are surprised we lost? Hue was way outcoached by Gailey. He made the right adjustments and the raiders didn’t. Donut Neck Bresnahan is just as horrible as he ever was. Of course a lot of it is Al and his 1968 defense. You can’t play mostly man coverage in todays NFL. We’ll be 1-3. At least we aren’t the chiefs.

We should have beat those MFers today.

campbell played really well.
wr’s emerged.
running attack is still top-notch.
defense looked good for awhile.
bad stuff:
defense fell apart.
no sacks.

September 18th, 2011 at 7:43 pm
Method and Crew…you guys notice that Hue takes his headset off when the defense is out there? He is not even listening to the defensive calls on the field???
Does that not bother you gents in the least bit? Bugs the isht out of me!
I can understand your D.C and all…but to willfully ignore what defensive calls are being made/adjustments that should have been made is weird to me..
There is no reason that CJ’s guy, whoever it turned out to be should have had bracketed coverage since the 3rd Q at the very latest…Hue should have called it himself.
But he wasn’t even in Comm. with the Defensive Booth?!

The future; the run-pass option. Only a few QB’s of the elite athlete status will be able to do this. Presently we have Michael Vick & Cam Newton.
Cam’s a horse! And he hangs in there no matter what. He’s gonna be all right. He’ll be able to use his athletic ability/size in ways we’ve yet to see.
Now; where am I going with this? Well, today it seems the pendulum has swung in favor of one Jason Campbell, albeit in a loosing cause.
One Terrell Pryor is no doubt champing @ the bit. He has to practice in a vacuum until his suspension is lifted. A handler, no coach. Probably pretty good athletes catching his passes, but not any of his future teammates. Probably hard to keep a prespective, especially since any competitor’s true nature is to compete.
If Jason completes this quantum leap & exponentially improves his all round consistency (what was that stat from his last 7 games? 107 QB rating, TD’s in the middle teens, what does this do for Pryor’s mindset? He’ll want to contribute. . .just sayin’. . .might be a welcome conindrum. . .
September 18th, 2011 at 7:45 pm

September 18th, 2011 at 7:46 pm
before people start fretting too much about the jets, realize this:
sanchez threw for 182 yds today. two int’s.
they ran for 101 yds. averaged 3.2 ypc. top rusher is greene w/ 49.
their offense is nothing too great. their defense is pretty good.
but our offense is very good.
we will have to control the ball and stop the run.
September 18th, 2011 at 7:47 pm
best case, raiders rebound and win 2 of 3.
worst case, raiders get owned on defense, over and over.
September 18th, 2011 at 7:47 pm
The entire defense was just gassed today late in the 2nd qrtr you could see it. I was just hoping we wouldn’t turn the ball over and play ball comtrol in the 2nd half to save our defense and for the most part we did but DMC’s fumble started the avalanch.
Anyone taking this effort today as what this defense is or will be is clueless these guys were running in MUD the entire second half aganst a fet break offense. Chan gailey played it right and it worked he knew the second half would get us and it did. I wish we had taken more time to score the last TD. We put a very tired defense back on the field too quick.
September 18th, 2011 at 7:48 pm
We are fine! Yall chill out
September 18th, 2011 at 7:49 pm
I feel bad for Hue, now he has to answer to Al, even tho Al was the one who hired CBresh. TI was very impressed with the offense and Moore and Hagan but the defense could not help but to be ran over. 5 possessions for 5 marches and 5 scores in the 2nd half. Empires have been toppled for less that that. This is plain awful. Hue has some serious damage control to figure out. Should have beat those MFers into the ground today.
September 18th, 2011 at 7:50 pm

September 18th, 2011 at 7:50 pm
Nick Miller Should be released today (not that it is his fault we lost) and Stevie needs to be recalled..
If we had Nnamdi we win this game plain and simple…
It would have cost us 8 million or so..but we would have won..You guys don’t believe that are smokin that dank shizzat.Nam would have shut down half that field..
We went from looking like the 2002 Raiders (but with Bette Offense)
TO the 2006 Raiders, (but with WORSE Defense)
I bet you could hear a pin drop in that JetAirliner Right now..

September 18th, 2011 at 7:51 pm
McClain was GASSED bigtime you hate to make excuses becaus excuses don’t win games but to ask this team to go on the road on MNF and go all the wya backeast on a short weeek against a hot offense is ridiculous. Very few defensive teams can do that. Wwe gave up 35 2nd hal points after only giving up 3 1st half what does that tell you? The defense was GASSED!!!…………..period
September 18th, 2011 at 7:52 pm
Of course the kid made plays I would trust him too. Hagan did OK about the same as DHB the player was by far DMoore Hagan aint even close to that kid.
September 18th, 2011 at 7:53 pm
Doesn’t even matter who the DC is. If you want to see what happens when a DC even BARELY steps outside of Al’s vision of the defense, look no further than John Marshall.
This was a failure of Al’s defensive scheme using Al’s hand-picked personnel.
If you want to play as much man-to-man on the outside as the Raiders did today, you need two world-class CBs. Al let his best CB and spent big money on a FS who still can’t tackle, and now has to spend half his time at nickle CB.
Leaving LBs in man coverage against WRs, TEs, and RBs (and like today, a couple WR/TE hybrid-type players) simply doesn’t work. And it’s also a huge reason for the big play because the defensive linemen are all rushing the passer.
No one should be surprised when the defense fails. I’m sure Bresnahan is a terrible DC, but that has very little to do with why the Raiders’ defense faces the same problems year-in, year-out.
September 18th, 2011 at 7:53 pm
No excuses.
The Raiders should have won that game.
Shot themselves in the foot, again…
September 18th, 2011 at 7:53 pm
Yes, Sully, the Raiders could have made the salary fit. Remember when the lockout first ensued? Talk of Namdi getting anywhere between 18 to 22 mil per year?
Then, when the particulars of the contract were made official it became obvious that the salcap would be less than the previous player friendly contract.
I think the thing that dissuaded some teams is the fact Namdi is approaching 30, NFL shutdown CB middle age.
Even though I fully expect him to morph into CWood Jr., shutdown corner money is a bit more than that of a safety.
Steve Corkrum was the source on the lobbying efforts of Hue & Coach (up)Chuck. Big Rich lobbied on Aso’s belahf as well.
Al must think he’s getting to the elderly point. 12 mil would have been nothing for the Raiders to absorb. That’s one of the mysteries of Al, folks. . .

To be pissed means you got heart. I saw nothing from this defense today to suggest they have any heart at all.
I want to believe in this team. I want to finally break the spell this team has been under since 2002.
However, what i saw today was the same ol’ Raiders. Losers who found a way to lose.
Faiders. just keep it close and they will find a way to blow it. Wasn’t that one coach’s strategy to beating the Raiders?

All they had to do was to make a stop early and they coulda got their gassed asses off the field. They are paid professionals. The D made their own bed, and they shat all over it.
And Dmacs fumble, just part of the game. The fat lazy D should have gotten him the ball back.
WTF What about starting the 2nd half? Fckng D mail it in at half in the locker room? This one is 100% D, no excuses. Make a stop once and you can get off the field and sit your tired ass on the bench. But no, they mailed it in at half time.

It’s not like the defense doesn’t know what they’re being asked to do. But each member of the defense needs to play 99% mistake-free football for the entire time they’re on the field to avoid results like the one today. Highly, highly unlikely. Especially against the best teams in the league.
September 18th, 2011 at 7:57 pm
MikeG he’s not ignoring the defesnsive calls he’s watching it to get involved in the process would be over managing he has to fix it and ask questioned if he doesn’t like what happened.

Yep…that’s a shame. D Moore had the ball in his hands first in the “Hail Mary” last catch of the game. The call always goes to the Ofense but sadly enough the Refs. gave the call to the stupid Bills.
With the Commisioner, the Refs, the media and the whole NFL against the Raiders they need to never give up on Offense and Defense. The Raiders O need to score often and the D need to be brutal at all times never letting up or letting a team back into the game to win. We need a miracle and “Beast” mentality in order to defeat the Jets next week. lol
************************************************
We got to get off this mentality. It BS and weak minded. Its always easier to blame someone else than look at yourself. I feel this way sometimes but all NFL fans feel this way. When the play happened I was screaming at the TV that we got the catch and tie goes to offense (see Miles Austin catch from last week). But the final replay they showed on CBS showed that Bills player caught it on his own and went to the ground with it. They replayed it after CBS went away from the game and the play was held up. It was the right call.
Don’t be mad at the refs or the NFL. Our D put us in that situation. Good teams dont let that happen. Gannon and Gruden proved that. This team needs to be a lot more tough like Gruden’s teams before we take the next step. Also, we need to a lot more smart football players on our team and not just athletes. That’s why Hagan stands out. He’s not the best Athlete, but he works and he smart. Stevie Johnson is the same.
I am really stoked for Denarious. Him Ford and Hagan can do some damage.
————————————————————————————————————–
Yep E12 I agree with you 100% but I was not making excuses. D. Moore said he had the ball in his hand completely and the Bills player took it out of his hands with his team mates help . I also saw that play with Miles Austin and it went in Dallas favor. You are on point…our Defense put us in that awful mess. I was also saying, with the world against the Raiders they need to play exceptional tremendous football at all times… not sloppy football like they played today against the Bills.

Yeah it’s easy to say, but when your CB is being torched it’s kinds hard to do. Another game like that by CJ and I wat to start DVD and let the kid Checkwa play and bring up Sterling Moore. What i saw from CJ today looked rookieish. He always has about 3 games a year just like this. Another one this year like that and I’m done…………period
September 18th, 2011 at 8:02 pm
This is all on chucky B. Blitz schemes were garbage, as well as middle of the field coverage.
All we will see now is teams 3,4 receiver sets until we can stop it. Crossing patterns over the middle all day…I’m disgusted. Heads should roll for this!
September 18th, 2011 at 8:02 pm
Chandler and Nelson against any of the Raider LBs? Match-up problem.
Stevie Johnson against Chris Johnson or Tyvon Branch? Match-up problem.
Fred Jackson against any member of the back seven? Match-up problem.
Fitzpatrick knew that on 90% of his snaps, the Raiders would be rushing four and have man coverage behind. When the Raiders DID blitz, Fitzpatrick easily identified the absurd match-up it gave him.

“For a guy to score on the last play of the game wide open, c’mon, man,” Kelly bellowed. “Do your job. That’s what the man pays you for. Do your job. If you got that guy, follow him to the bathroom.”
Instead, all that was left was to clean up the mess.
“They weren’t doing nothing different,” Kelly said. “They hopped in a draw, run the one-back run, run out of the spread, clog down the middle to slow down the rush and they’re going to throw drag routes. And that’s what they did. I mean, c’mon now. The third, fourth receiver (Nelson) had 10 catches in the game? C’mon, man. Not a third or fourth guy. Nah. If anybody’s going to beat us, Stevie Johnson (should) beat us. Not the fourth wideout. Nah. That hurt. That hurt bad.
“Just get the man on the ground. And we just didn’t do it as a defense for some reason. I don’t know why. But we got a six-hour flight to figure out what the hell happened.”

Some people remind me of a reporter who would have the balls to ask a baseball manager if he was pissed at his pitcher in a 1-0 loss.
The offense did their job today, especially with the best recievers out there, cept Ford. On Dmacs fumble, the D should say, no problem, we got your back. We’ll get the ball back for ya. But no, they mailed it in at half time. Was the D gassed when they came out for the 2nd half?
Defense fcked it up. 35 pts and 326 yards in a 2nd half is classic meltdown, collapse, and one for the highlite real.
September 18th, 2011 at 8:08 pm
HB delay and draw plays lure the defensive linemen in while sending the coverage behind them deep… talented runners like Fred Jackson make one cut, make one tackler miss, and are free to run downfield with their offensive linemen in front of them. Happens multiple times every game and works like a charm.
Short inside slants allow the WRs to get body position against the Raider CBs who have been playing off-man. LBs are in man coverage against TEs and RBs, so there’s no risk of them dropping underneath and picking off those passes.
September 18th, 2011 at 8:09 pm
Turning point was the start of Qrt 3. I said we gotta hold them from scoring and get the ball back, maybe run some clock get a FG and extend the lead…But The D gave up 7 and the momentum shifted…

I hear ya loud and clear, but I think that If I was the coach I would want to AT LEAST keep my headset on..Im not saying dive down your DC’s throat…but you gotta hear what calls are being made, when, how soon, under what conditions, what they sounded like, and what predicated said calls…I guess Hue will call him to task in the film room on Tuesday..I just thought it was strange…I have never seen a coach just take his headset off while his Defense was out there fighting for their lives..
For everyone else who saw no heart in our D..I don’t agree..I think they were exhausted on the one hand, and had a few players who could not stop playing like idiots and gifting the Bills 4 more downs..You can’t win like that… CJ lost the game for us and he damn well knows it..That ‘illegal tap to the helmet’ that got called on the late quarter sack was your standard, game changing, hand it to the other team, game saving for them ref call..absolutely absurd…Of course we had other chances, but when you are fighting for your life, the smallest advantage is the difference between winning and losing..Every time we stopped them, there was a yellow piece of laundry on the field to defibrulate an offense that was dead..
September 18th, 2011 at 8:14 pm
Matt Ryan showed heart and guts on that drive….and Jones worked Nnamdi lmao….fk yall
September 18th, 2011 at 8:14 pm
Something bothered me in Hue’s press conference.
He said time zone was no factor, This team just needed to LEARN HOW TO FINISH GAMES.
I THOUGHT that was what last year was about. I was under the impression that going 8-8 had prepared this team to take the next step.
Isn’t that why Cable got fired, because they underperformed last year?
So if they still need to LEARN to put a team away with a 21-3 lead, how can we as fans expect anything more than another losing year?

Yeah it’s easy to say, but when your CB is being torched it’s kinds hard to do. Another game like that by CJ and I wat to start DVD and let the kid Checkwa play and bring up Sterling Moore. What i saw from CJ today looked rookieish. He always has about 3 games a year just like this. Another one this year like that and I’m done…………period
………………………………….
To early still to give it all to the rooks, but with what we saw today, if we cant score 50-60 points a game against the good teams, might as well give it to them then.
September 18th, 2011 at 8:14 pm
B
Hagan is nothing special Moore is a budding superstar I’ll take Hagan if we don’t have anyone else. LOL
September 18th, 2011 at 8:16 pm
Folks, the talk of Nnamdi is futile, he wanted to go and that was it, if he wanted to stay and remain loyal he would have. Mr. Davis paid him well. The problem today was not gas, it was the inability of Bresnahan to make adjustments when the Bills and Gailey went almost entirely to a spread offense, since they were 18 points down.
It was obvious in the pre-season that the Raiders were going to be vulnerable in the secondary, Chris Johnson is not a shut down corner, he makes too many mistakes, that’s always been his problem, too many dumb penalties and he can’t cover the quick receivers. Knowing that, Bresnahan should have adjusted, but remember he’s a quarter short of a dollar.
Hue has made tremendous improvement to the offense, but Bresnahan has taken the defense down, and is wasting the talent, plain and simple. We knew that coming in. And, no it doesn’t have anything to do with “Mr. Davis defende,” it’s the coordinator job to make adjustments.
Obviously, DMac’s fumble was a huge turnaround, he more than made for it, but that was a big swing to the negative.
September 18th, 2011 at 8:16 pm
CJ37 had an schitty game…..lets see if he can bounce back. I like how he took accountability. Im not gonna throw him under bus
September 18th, 2011 at 8:17 pm
Nnamdi didn’t get an offer from the Raiders. Didn’t have the chance to “remain loyal”. Although given how he was criminally underutilized in his time here, he couldn’t be faulted if he wanted to leave.
September 18th, 2011 at 8:18 pm
Defense made no adjustments….correct Zopi
September 18th, 2011 at 8:19 pm
It don’t matter how well the D-Line is doing if Chris Johnson is bailing the opposing offense out time and time again, by committing holding, illegal contact, and PI penalties on 3rd and 4th down!
September 18th, 2011 at 8:19 pm
All this talk about the D being tired is pathetic. If those guys could have stopped Buffalo early in the 2nd half, none of these ‘tired’ excuses would be flying around in here. Nothing more than pathetic excuses for a pathetic performance by a mis-guided and out-dated defense. Always the same old sch1t. Always. When has it been different. Same old BS defensive meltdown, time and again.
September 18th, 2011 at 8:19 pm

Yep, big dagger…large, polished, gleaming, inlaid with silver, encrusted with precious gems and sharp as a razor DAGGER in this game…It was the only thing I was worried about everytime DMac touched the ball..It was only a matter of time..

The WHOLE Secondary got torched today,
CJ just drew the most calls and missed the opportunity to make a play and close the game out…
Plenty of blame to go around on the D side.
Chuck B needs to Go, now!
Promote Woodson, st least he knows what a good Defense is supposed to play like, Chuck B is lost…
Can’t understand why Al ever rehired him.

“We didn’t get them stopped,” Raiders coach Hue Jackson said. “We’ve got to find a way to finish the game. We did not finish. We had an opportunity and let it slip through our hands.”
………
you think? this is the best you can come up with after a record setting meltdown on defense?
I want to hear that players will be held accountable. I want to hear that this will not happen again while you coach.
I want to hear how the staff will be held accountable. hat it will be fixed no matter what.

I’d rather see Van Dyke getting beat by a superior receiver like he did against Fitzgerald…At least he was in position to make the play….
Chris Johnson just reached and grabbed all game….
And on a nother note, we got robbed on that penalty when we threw the challenge flag.
That wasn’t a touchdown!
And what the hell is Nick Miller doing!
I’ll be fine by 1:30pm tomorrow…Right now I’m still in the 24 hour cooling off period!

September 18th, 2011 at 8:28 pm
CJ played awful…did I not say that? Fk Nnamdi. U reminiscing hoes!
September 18th, 2011 at 8:28 pm
Dmacs fumble was NOT the game changer.
The game changer was the D mailing it in at half time in the locker room. The way Buffalo came out the 2nd half says it all.
On Dmacs fumble, thats part of the game. Any good defense would have been inspired to get him the ball back.
D sucked today, and a good QB will toast our D unless something drastic happens this week.
Al needs to get down to the field and ram his foot along the backside of Chucks ass and then kick him on the backside of his ass again for good luck. Maybe then Al would have knocked some sense into him. Then Hue can pimp hand Davis to knock some sense into him and get his mind right and straighten out the defense schemes once and for all.
September 18th, 2011 at 8:29 pm
Raiders were best in man, but they were beat in zone as well. I don’t think you can blame the scheme. Players were in position for game changing/ clinching picks in the endzone, and tackles, but they failed. If cj or branch get the pick are we crying about scheme? We would say great call by chuck b. They seemed to lose their edge at half time starting with the long runs.
Players have to make plays, regardless of the scheme.

The defense was running in mud. Their offense was twice as fast and quicker and stronger. The only thing we could’ve done to win it is CATCH THE int’s. CATCH THEM and YOU WIN!!!

September 18th, 2011 at 8:38 pm
Wake up call for the defense. Maybe they bought into their own hype after last week. With so many penalties at denver the thought was they were solid but the flags did the damage. Flags cost us today as well and I’m wondering if our secondary is near the top on penalties against after two weeks.
Around the league secondarys are being torched, but Tha lack of pass rush & tackling was shocking. The onus is clearly on the defense. Clean up the penalties , improve tackling, & when you blitz you must get their. The raiders failed in these areas & this is where the game was lost

D lost this game hands down i know we all love dmac but his fumble killed us we were running up the field bout to score. Ur never gonna win with the D five yds off recievers ya miss the tackle it will be a good gain. Best thing about this is the D will learn from it. One more thing i no the D has got to make plays but the D cord has got to put the players in the right spot second half they werent. Pathetic calls.

In his last 10 games he could have played in, he missed one due to injury and left today’s game, has 17 total TD’s (rushing and passing) to 13 turnovers, and his team 4-5.
Matty Ice showed heart and poise, Vick wimped out of another game, saving him from probably a 5 turnover game.

September 18th, 2011 at 8:55 pm
Is Tatupu still looking for work? If so, bring him in and stick him and MLB. RoMac certainly can’t handle that role. Let RoMac compete with Groves to see if he even starts. RoMac dogged it out there the entire second half. This was by far his absolute worst game as a Raider. That level of non-performance is simply not acceptable. Ricky Brown would have been an improvement at MLB today. Does that tell you how really badly RoMac played?

I agree. Players would have to execute scheme before we could judge it.
Blown assignments, mental breakdowns, penalties, no pressure on QB, and missed tackles decided this game.
Its not scheme, its the stupidity of the players and their inability to execute the gameplan.

All these defenses are letting up 30+ points.. if we going to win, we’re going to have to run the ball, eat up the clock, manage the game

Nobody wants to assassinate Al. He’s not a dignitary. He’s not even a head of state, city, or county. He’s not even a successful sports owner. As Chris Rock would say, if Al were murdered, they wouldn’t call it an assassination, they’d say that ni##a got shot!

Im not saying it was DMac’s fault we lost the game because of the fumble..I was just saying that it was a kick it the nuts from the Polish Canon…
Man that hurt..
If I could put a single player on this loss it would have to be CJ…dude was out of position ALL game long and was mauling receivers 10 yards down field..even when he didn’t need to do it…Totally unacceptable. He lost the game..
Also, that freakin morse code tap to the Helmet of Fitz that was called as illegal contact on the sack late in the game was a sickening GIFT by the officiating crew…Gimme a Break..hell, while I at it, the unneccessary roughness on Routt? I think it was..was total bullcrap, the reciever ducked his head and Routt had already set his target line..Another BULLSISHT call.
Lotsa that stuff doesnt help either..
Whatever…bring on the GQ Model and his Husband the following week..
Dirty Sanchez and his Uggs Model Husband are gonna get broken.

We missed it seemed like a thousand tackles and you guys are talking about scheme……….come o man!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yep, it was the exact opposite of how we tackled in Denver…
When you are out of position you miss tackles…just like in Basketball when you are out of position you foul..Lack of proper position creates a weakness that you cannot make up for by athletic ability alone..You have to be fundamentally sound. Our offense was off the hook today, but our defense hung it up…
September 18th, 2011 at 9:06 pm
I’m tellin ya’ll but ya’ll ain’t listenin cause ya aint hearin me
DHB needs to be converted to a CB. U heard it 1st rite here. Do Al, you crusty ol’ sugar daddy, make DHB a cornerback and watch yo money comin flowin back to u like sweet river wine.
Book it, bank it, print it, and eat it too, DHB would be pro bowl caliber CB if Al would just make it happen. C’mon Al dude, make it happen.
September 18th, 2011 at 9:07 pm
The entire D’played bad in second half…. no one Guy. Dammit!!! Not one sack today.. not one.. that’s inexcusable. ..it was a loss that I will hang over the entire defensive unit.. oh yea by the way… have we cut Miller yet?

Jc looks like he’s going to earn that extension, as he torched the defense. He did it throwing deep with the run game stymied. He did it on 3rd down and with time expiring?
Didnt he own you today?

You think we’ve just never had enough talent?
Or does the scheme leave us in too many open field 1 on 1 tackling situations?
September 18th, 2011 at 9:10 pm
ma name is stanky AL, I’ll crap in ya face, I’m playing DHB, and I squirt ya with mace…..
don’t talk about hagan, he just a big jackass, he caught so many balls, we should just call him “pass”
but if I love ya I love ya n I love DHB, so I’ll do what I have to, accept mediocrity…..
as far as the fans and nation too, you a bunch of skanks, pay me me ya money fool,
don’t really care if we never win a game, I Stanky AL, I wont take the blame……
all you fans and the nation too, get down on your knees and stick your tongues out fools,

Wimbley also had a terrible game.
Gave up the edge on two big runs.
How we gave up the edge everytime to Brad Smith, when you KNOW he wants to run outside, is beyond me.
September 18th, 2011 at 9:12 pm
okay idiots, knucklehead prognosticators, illuminous predictors of tempest-in-teapots, here we gooo……
I right back at it, sent out ma tooner, a scrotal sack, let’s just call him “spooner”……
he has a bald black head, his left eye hangs low, he proud of himself, thinks he really knows,
he spoons out caa-caa time and again, ya’ll believe it,
thankin Broncos was a win,
but we all know they are bottom of the scrum, by the time its over, spooner will be exposed as a bum,
see I play him like a mean guitar, send him out on stage, and he acts bizarre,
he talks about Hagan, like he laid an egg, best in the preseason and he still has to beg,
spooner lays on a multitude of crap, he just an uncle tom, maybe he’ll take up rap……
spooner does what I say, cause I am the boss, I am stanky AL, too bad your loss…..
ya see ma fans and the nation too, ya’ll work for me, spooner will cover you in poo,
meanwhile, I’ll do what I want, you’ll keep giving me your dough, by and by its spooner I’ll haunt,
cause if he starts losing I’ll get in my groove, crack that shiny pate with my favorite pool cue.
Just Die Baby !!!! I out
September 18th, 2011 at 9:14 pm
Al would love it if DHB was a CB. DHB would be better than Nnamdi ever was and it would make the crusty old timer look like a genious. People would be talkin at the water coolers “Al still got it”.
Make DHB a CB Al cuz he sho as hell aint no WR, you know it, I know it, and everybody knows it.
But make him a CB and all of a sudden, you is the genious you always was meant to be.

Some of us don’t believe there’s a way to remedy over a decade of an outdated D scheme, and a lack of cohesiveness in drafting towards a modernized, better D scheme.
How many run-stuffing D-tackles have we drafted lately?
How many run-stuffing OLBers?
How many run-stuffing safeties?
Nope, just a bunch of fast athletes.

I said they had to execute the scheme before we could blame it.
They could not even execute what was called today. Didn’t know where to line up, covered the wrong guys, missed tackles.

I can only imagine the talk here if another qb played like jc did today. You said our team couldn’t compete in a shootout. ” he can’t do it like breed & rodgers” they said. You are wrong!!!
This team still needs work & we will end up between 8-10 wins. Calm down we ate in the first year under hu jack & we are leaps & bounds better than we were over this time last year.
I also think the defense gets a lot better when missile mike gets back. Boyd and giordonna are terrible
September 18th, 2011 at 9:19 pm
I never understood all this talk about traveling to the east coast..feeling tired because of the different time zone….its only a 3 hour difference. … does that mean the new York jets will be tired next week.. ??? I think it was playing in a short week after the Denver game… they really looked winded.. really tired…
September 18th, 2011 at 9:20 pm
Hey Tj, U talk about it wasn’t the Raider D schemes today, how it was the players who couldn’t make plays, well fine.
But why did the scheme call for Prevent D to open the second half, all it did was give the D squad ample time to shat the bed and wallow in it. The scheme was wrong. It put playahs outta position to make plays.
What say you to that?

While that is true for the most part, we tackled Incredibly well against Denver if you go back and watch the game..I mean rock solid..If we simply do the same thing this week, we win plain and simple.
Holy Crap, did you see that whiff on the F.Jackson run by Giordano? WOW, that would have made Stu Swiegart blush….I saw him do that lame arm tackle crap a couple of times..Hell, I saw big Sey whiff on Spiller too..Sometimes things just don’t go like you have envisioned..
Its time to forget this game and move on. If the D would have executed Bresnehans plan, and tackled like they did in Denver, it wouldnt even be an issue..

I agree. Players would have to execute scheme before we could judge it.

Screw that five ten yds of recievers all game. Common people the scheme on D they where playing way off recievers. Hate on mcclain all you guys want 10 tackles led team everyone missed tackles not only him. Second where was seymour and wimbley all game. They got abused all game. If front four dont get pressure then recievers and qb’s will have a hey day with the secondary.

A perfect description of what I saw. Somebody needs to smack him up alongside the head and wake him up. One would think he’s drinking the Purple Drank now. That’s the way he played. No energy, no intensity, no responsibility, no interest. Everything we don’t need at MLB.

it’s harder on our bodies losing 3 hours than gaining 3 hours.
Gaining 3 hours just makes your body feel like it’s later in the afternoon, no big deal.
Losing them makes you feel like it’s morning, and that can be problematic.
There’s a reason west-coast teams have a paltry 25% win ratio on the east coast.

Ask yourself…
Do you EVER see McClain blow up a run block, or even shed and make a play?
Is he EVER the first dude to the ball?
Why does he disappear?
This is the dude that is supposed to be lining people up???
He made two pass break ups and aside from that got completely owned in the run game…. BOTH of Fred Jacksons runs were up the gut… The TD to Nelson…. RIGHT up the middle on that 4th down…
God, he is absolute GARBAGE.
how about CJ? catch that INT and the game is over…
Branch??? catch that INT and the game looks MUCH different..
McClain MAKE THE INT AND IT’S A DIFFERENT STORY..
but here we are… this one hurts….bad

I think there was something to that today…. I’ve never seen such a bad performance by a Raiders team.. ever.

Buffalo scored 5 tds in second half and only had the ball 5 times in second half..it had to be the fatigue factor

Al Davis will right this thing as soon as the boys step off the plane. Al will be waiting there ready to chew some butt. His anger and ire will be so wrathful the team will never lose again, not out of athleticism, but for fear of the ire and wrath of Al Davis.
Al Davis will be yelling and screaming so loud they will be able to hear him across the bay. I feel bad for those poor basterds as they get off a cross country flight tired and sore and humiliated after that pathetic loss to rank buffalo.
Al Davis wont care. His wrath is going to be felt. No one on earth will have more anger to display than Al Davis. He is one fired up angry dude. He will beat some drive into the defense and he’ll be doing it when the sun rises.
An angry Al Davis is NOT to be takin lightly. You do not want to be anywhere near the tumultous raucus for fear of being hit by flying debris. Nor do you want to be in Als’ swinging distant for fear of taking one in the mug.
Al Davis is mad and he’s going to let it be known.

Newsflash
AP-Oakland, Ca
11 men were arrested tonight in Oakland for grand theft. Apparently charges were filed after these men collected payment for services they failed to deliver. The entire Oakland Raiders starting defense was being held with no bond after refusing to play in the 2nd half of Oakland’s sickening loss in Buffalo. Raiders CEO Amy Trask said she is aware of these charges but has no comment because Al Davis hasn’t woke up yet.
September 18th, 2011 at 9:39 pm
Lesson learned: 18 point leads are meaningless at half time if you have a defense of the Oakland Raiders. I’m not one to make excuses, but the league is effed up to make the Raiders go on the road for a late Monday night game and then travel to the east coast for an early game the following Sunday. Winners win, and losers lose. This was a bad loss. I’d be taking this better if the Bills had won, 28-14. I can’t stand losses like this. It shows a lack of character, a lack of pride, and a lack of desire. Did you see how the receiver refused to let CJ intercept that pass, or how Tyvon Branch had the INT taken out of his hands? The Bills wanted it more, and they got it. Let’s see how bad the Raiders want to pay back the Jets for their last visit out to Oakland.

No. And this is why YOU are the biggest piece of sh** ever. Davis was actually 4000 miles away. And no, contrary to YOUR beliefs, he was not calling the plays. So, when you put the blame all on Davis, who happened to be no where near this debacle, you exonerate the real culprits IE the DC and the Defensive players. It’s kind of like blaming a gun for murdering 15 people. It’s not the perpetrators fault, it’s the guns fault.

Well for what it’s worth….Hue Jack, welcome to Al Davis’ defensive scheme. You didnt think Hue was going to get away with that one did you? How many times have we seen a raider safety (put any name in there) be the last line of defense vs a full steam ahead running back. 9.9 out of 10 the RB wins that battle. The more things change the more they stay the same.

The players don’t take losses seriously. They make too much money. The NFL is just entertainment, like a soap opera. Why do we have to watch the show where the poor guy always gets kicked in the teeth in the end?

some of these guys compete..its not fair to say that they only care about a paycheck.. We aren’t in their position, we don’t know how much work they put in.. Let’s not be pretentious
September 18th, 2011 at 9:46 pm
The weakness of our passing D is against the spread formation and quick slants. Routt and co. are pretty good against the deep pass but they are lousy against the short throws. Denver was marching down to take the lead by using the spread on us. If we can’t get to Sanchez or Brady, it will be over very soon.

No one on this blog was saying last week what there saying know. Man last weekend raiders had the best D in the league. You all back and fourth back and fourth depending what happens week to week. Offense killed today and everyone agrees and you all happy. Offense most likely will not do this against the jets. So i assume next week most people gonna be saying are offense is a joke next week. People on here are all over the place. More the same next weekend from some iff you that call urself raider fans.

*********************
I don’t know that he’d be that demonstrative but I agree that he’s not happy. Unfortunately, he’s responsible too because he’s the one that chose Bresnahan for DC. Al should demote Bresnahan now and promote either Rod Woodson or Greg Biekert – both Raiders with winning experience. Waffle doesn’t want the job so these two are the ones to consider unless he wants to go outside and bring someone else in. The defensive performance today was Ying & Yang. The first half they played as expected and the second half was simply horrendous.
Al needs to get the overhead projector out for Bresnahan. Time to remove the cancer before the patient is totally dead.

September 18th, 2011 at 10:09 pm
None of you get it do you? They kept reaming us up the gut and up the gut and then the last play of the game, MCclain takes Spiller to the outside, which leaves the entire inside open, for an easy pitch and catch. Ball game. Now, first question is why is MCClain going to th3e outside on Spiller? Spiller runs a 4.2 forty. He can’t cover him on his best day. And he leaves the entire field open? For that? Cut him.
September 18th, 2011 at 10:11 pm
I don’t blame our D Line. You can’t get to the passer when the ball is out in less tan 3 seconds. All they can really do is get in the way and block passing lanes by getting their hands and arms up. Our LB’s aren’t built for the quick crossing patterns. That was the Howards and Morrisons version LB. We would have probably been better off playing a 5 man front with 6 DB’s in tight coverage. RoMac out there today was a total waste of a position. Wembley wasn’t lighting it up either. We need to devise a defensive scheme to counter this offensive spread formation. It’s all hands on deck because until we figure this thing out, that’s all we are going to see from our future opponents.

Some of us don’t believe there’s a way to remedy over a decade of an outdated D scheme, and a lack of cohesiveness in drafting towards a modernized, better D scheme.
How many run-stuffing D-tackles have we drafted lately?
How many run-stuffing OLBers?
How many run-stuffing safeties?
Nope, just a bunch of fast athletes.

You’re preaching to the choir. Like many others, I’ve been suggesting a focus on OL, NT/DT, and LBs. The trenches is where everything is won/lost.
However, your post had nothing to do with my comments towards Sullivan44. See, you appear to be a real fan, angry, and making suggestions, etc. Whereas Sullivan’s efforts post-game highlight nothing but a chirpiness and throwaway one-liners aimed at antagonizing others.
Like I said the other day, I’m not one for censoring, or banning etc, but it’s pretty clear where Sullivan’s mindset is at from his posts the last hour or so. Just really stupid and chirpy antagonizing one-liners.

Did McClain have a sub par game? Yes, but talking about cutting the guy. That’s ridiculous. It’s really simple: if we get the defense we saw the first 6 quarters of the season, 10 wins is possible. If we get today’s 2nd half defense more often, 4 wins is possible. I need to see one win in the next 2 weeks to believe in this team.

When the Bills went up 31-28 and we got the ball with like 4 minutes left in the game I said, PLEASE, take most of the time off of the clock before scoring. It is obvious we cannot stop this team from scoring. And while the 50 yard td to D. Moore was a thing of beauty and I cheered when it happened, I also sunk in my seat, knowing we scored too quickly. WTF???? The play calling and time management by Baby Huey should get him BENCHED. That was ridiculous. Please, name 1 other play caller in the nfl who knows that his defense has allowed 4 td’s in the second half and doesn’t realize that it is VITAL to run most of the clock out before scoring. OMG, what a freakin idiot, take 1 minute off the clock, call a 50 yard pass play, score and give the ball back to the Bills with almost 4 minutes left. UN FREAKING BELIEVABLE!!!!! We have the talent to win the division, we just don’t have the coaches.

McClain is not alone…nobody is getting off the hook. Seymour was pretty invisible today.
Groves was nowhere to be found on the Spiller screens.
CJ was toast.
the middle was just SOFT. Mental lapses.
The Dmac fumble..
to me though the GLARING weakness was that middle… that middle was hacked apart. and McClain was NOWHERE to be found.

Judge, I understand where you are coming from. At the same time, that’s a defeatist attitude. We don’t have the talent to win anything if you can’t stop a team once in 5 effin’ tries in the 2nd half. You know that!
September 18th, 2011 at 10:27 pm
Two things:
1. For all you schmucks that say the defense looked the same with Namdi out there you are full of crap. Pur pass D was regularly in the top 5 in the league.
Yes he didn’t help our run D much. But we could’ve used him to take away half the field.
2. Anyone still saying DHB should start isn’t looking at the facts of life. It should not be based on some future hope of production. I personally think Hagan is a slightly better receiver than DHB. But that isn’t even the point. Moore, Ford and Murphy are also better receivers.
Schillens and miller are not playing as well as DHB right now which shows thelatt DHB is progressing.

Seymour it is an overeaction to cut that kid RoMac had a bad game just like everyone else on that defense except Routt whom is looking like he is every bit worth the money.
You hear that Steve Corkran Routt is every bit worth the money. They didn’t give Nnamdi’s money to Routt they gave Routt’s money to Routt. All we neeed to do is start DVD and let him learb because he is the next great cover corner for the Raiders……….put him in and let him get started. Let CJ play the slot.

You are a loser. 3 fumbles lost in 2010 with 223 rushing attempts. I happen to be an intelligent, die-hard Raider fan. Darren McFadden is the best back in the NFL today! That’s a fact that almost every Raider fan will agree with me on.

Our offense got us a big lead. Our offense scored when it needed to. Our defense let a big lead go. Our defense couldn’t come up with a stop when it needed to.
Team won’t go anywhere until we address this first and foremost. Anybody not doing their job needs to be held completely accountable, called out and put on watch. Too bad there isn’t any real competition on that side of the ball.
At least with the receiving corps situation, our back-ups make the starters look stupid when they come in and produce.
September 18th, 2011 at 10:36 pm
Nick Miller needs to be cut and his job given to Taiwan Jones. Bring Sterling Moore up from the practice squad and just start DVD over CJ. I rather have someone who can run stride for stride with a receiver who gets beat by a good play than someone who’s slow and nowhere near capable of running with the young horses.
McClain will be fine, but Nick Miller is a bum and CJ is a liability in coverage.
September 18th, 2011 at 10:37 pm
You know your defense is bad when you are hoping your offense takes more time to score.
September 18th, 2011 at 10:37 pm
DHB is just as good as Hagan IMO, now Moore is a whole different animal that kid as star written all over him. Hagan aint even worth talking about it’s Moore that should be the main topic. What he showed on that first catch is the stuff superstars are made of. That post pattern he ran for a TD was (seensational) stupendous tremendous and will make that kid a ton of money. He is hands down the best Rec’r on this team if anyone is #1 which I couldn’t care less just let ‘em play. Moore is our #1 if we have a #1 ………………Hagan don’t make me laugh….
September 18th, 2011 at 10:40 pm
Beach- I hear you BUT. we had the talent to hold the Bills to 3 points in the 1st half. It is up to Bresnahan to change things up at halftime. he knows the opposition, if smart, is going to be able to break down what we have been doing in the first half and make adjustments. If he doesn’t make adjustments to show them the same looks with different outcomes then he shouldn’t be coaching. And if the playcaller sees there is 4:48 seconds left when we get the ball, knowing that we score and stop them, we win, you have to dink and dunk and RUN the ball with BUSH like we did last week towards the end of the game. The defense is tired and worn down, BUSH is fresh and can run the ball, allowing us to control the clock, and score with less than 1 minute left in the game.
I stand by my statement. We have the talent to win, we do not have the coaches to win.

Al won’t pay for a legit D-Coordinator, which is a shame, being as it’s a staple of every consistent playoff team.
Patriots, Packers, Saints, Jets, Steelers, even the Chargers the last couple of years…
we know who runs those D’s. It’s important.
September 18th, 2011 at 10:48 pm
my hit list…
mcclain, branch, c.johnson were horrendous.
nick miller needs to be cut.
samson satele was getting blown up a lot.
on many plays mcclain was going at half-speed, giving up on plays, taking the wrong angles etc. branch just does not read well, not a good safety. c.johnson is done. nick miller should have booked his way out of the team and the nfl for good. he constantly stumbles over himself and runs on a treadmill. satele isnt strong enough at the point of contact, either pass or run blocking.
changes need to be made, otherwise expect more of the same results on D.
our DBs are just a terrible unit.

that was not Campbells fault.. Hue still calls the plays in.. Hue has to instruct his explicitly to run the clock out. Campbell isn’t going to take that decision into his own hands, especially if instructed otherwise..
And I doubt Campbell is going to make the judgment to check down just to eat more clock. He probably would make the same play again and give his D the vote of confidence.
Me personally, thought the clock should have been run down… No way in hell do I trust our D to close that game out after they gave up four consecutive scoring drives.

September 18th, 2011 at 11:00 pm
Guys, I know I take this game too seriously. I usually lighten up after a few losses.
September 18th, 2011 at 11:00 pm
i’m a fan of pryor. way too early to judge on tho.
September 18th, 2011 at 11:03 pm
Judge, I think Hue has the makings of being the Head Coach we need. Bresnahan???
September 18th, 2011 at 11:03 pm
Funny!! He started instead of one of the vets who played last week. Had a great game too…
September 18th, 2011 at 11:06 pm
wow–i just realized sullivan44 is dvrick. when he logs on as sullivan, he tries to act like he’s intelligent, and then when he’s dvrick, he just posts and posts all these stupid supposedly funny al-bashes. well, he just posted about 20 ridiculous dvrick-like posts under the sullivan alias. must have gotten confused. he seriously has something wrong with him. some sort of obsession w/ al davis. like he was hurt by him. but it’s on the level of psychosis. he posted a while back that the reason why he is on here is because al davis broadcasts raiders games into his living room and there are raiders advertisements on billboards, and so he feels compelled to come here and answer so al knows how he feels, like he thinks al reads this blog. i think he has some mental health issues. i feel sorry for him now.
September 18th, 2011 at 11:09 pm
no Sullivan44 is MaddenRaider
September 18th, 2011 at 11:10 pm
You sure, Barnes is listed as starting.
September 18th, 2011 at 11:10 pm
Haha, I see your guys’ point about how it would have been better if we took more time off the clock, but I’m actually with Priesttj on this one.
I made that comment because of how many people actually seemed mad that JC hit a receiver for a big TD when we were down. You HAVE to score when possible in the NFL, its not always guaranteed so all opportunities must be taken.
September 18th, 2011 at 11:13 pm
listed O-line starters were V, Wiz, Sat, Coop, and Barnes.
September 18th, 2011 at 11:16 pm
Forget the offense…it’s fine. The problem (and it is huge and it is real) is that our defense is horrible and will cost us the season.
Any defense that let’s Ryan freaking Fitzpatrick march down the field at will, and score 5 consecutive TD drives, is a piece of garbage defense. RYAN FITZPATRICK!!! Not Tom Brady or Peyton Manning or Drew Brees, but Ryan freaking Fitzpatrick. Ole Fitzy absolutely shredded a weak willed, weak minded sub talented defense.
If Fitzpatrick did this to the Raiders what the heck do ya think Brady and Rivers are gonna do? Or Rodgers and Cutler?
This is the worst defense in the NFL. Any D that lets Ryan Fitzpatrick do that to you may as well just lay down and take it up the keyster like the Raiders did today.
This D doesn’t have a prayer against the Jets and New England, ot to mention the rest of the league.
Only hope is the offense can outscore some teams, but I have no faith in this defense at all after getting decimated and humiliated by Ryan freaking Fitzpatrick.
Thanks Al for putting this piece of crap D together.
September 18th, 2011 at 11:21 pm
Priest
DUDE!!! C’mon. Do you realize how lucky we got on that TD?? That was WAY more risky than running the ball. Campbell threw it up, 50 yards down the field, to a somewhat unproven rookie who was double covered. Baby Huey calling that play was NOT taking points that were there to be taken. It just happened to work out in his favor. Actually, that was a horrible call. You don’t even make that call, with 4 minutes left in the game, if your WR is Andre Johnson. WAY less than 50% chance of completion with the double coverage and the throw being thrown well enough for our wr to catch it.
September 18th, 2011 at 11:30 pm
Gerard Did they look like the worst defense in the NFL last week?? the Broncos won today because they didn’t ahev to travel if we play teh Bills at home we win this going away.
A tired defense is a bad defense no matter how you slice it. You all can get mad a call the players names but playing on the road against a fast break offense after playing on MNF we make any defense play worse. Now we still should’ve won but that wasn’t our defense not by any stretch.
We need to outscore the Bills and we would’ve if DMC doesn’t fumble IMO.
September 18th, 2011 at 11:32 pm
Our rookies played well today Bruce Campbell Barksdale Moore Lil Wiz Richard Gordon I wish DVD wouldn’t have gone down we might’ve won.
September 18th, 2011 at 11:34 pm
Judge………It worked..period
September 18th, 2011 at 11:39 pm
No excuses, Priest. We’re supposedly building on from an 8-8 season, towards a playoff berth, building a bully. Good teams, the type we’re trying to become, win these road games, find a way to win. Our DC was out-adjusted/smarted, and a number of key defensive players are just not good enough, inconsistent.
September 18th, 2011 at 11:42 pm
Who’s making excuses? I’m telling the truth they were gassed but we still should’ve won..period
listen I’m not into false bravado I said a number of times CJ killed us we should’ve caught 2 picks in the endzone and RoMac was terrible. Still we should’ve won. Eventhough we didn’t play great.
September 18th, 2011 at 11:45 pm
Priest
We play to win the game. It didn’t work
September 18th, 2011 at 11:47 pm
The play did work it’s not there responsibility to play defense it’s their responsibility to score points…………period
September 18th, 2011 at 11:48 pm
If a running play breaks open and the guy scores then what he should’ve fell down?………….give me a break!
September 18th, 2011 at 11:55 pm
Truth is we’re just not there yet where all the annual lip-service is regarding returning to greatness and building bullies.
The lip-service is a burning desire/wish TO retain greatness, and also stir up hope and season-tickets. But at the same time, one gets tired of the mid-week rhetoric we’re going to hear yet again.
I do NOT fault Hue Jackson, he is a gun. But clearly we lack some smarts at certain key defensive positions, and the DCing was sub-par in the second-half (partly due to the liabilities at those D positions).
September 19th, 2011 at 12:04 am
Listen we just didn’t win whe you don’t win it’s makes eveeryone second guess everything the truth is if cj catches the int game over. We will get better that goes without saying but this is not a bad defense it was just a GASSED defense. We were in position to make plays we just missed tackles and missed int’s.
It happens we have to win more then we lose this yera if we do that we’re in the playoffs. To second guess everything is easy. Hindsight is always 20/20.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:07 am
It’d be good to see/hear less rhetoric, let all the talking get done on the field. Don’t hype up these build a bully catch-phrases pre-season or mid-week, don’t make bold claims, just DO or do no DO.
It’d be also good to see Al and coaches bite the bullet on the roster. Mix in some football smart players in amongst all the raw physical talent. Trade/sign some smart CBs, LBs.
Eg, Nick Miller still on the roster after two years, he would not have made another NFL team’s roster in those two years. We persevere too much with clearly inferior players. Reminds of the Yamon Figurs signing/release last season.
McClain is supposedly a workaholic film/scheme studier etc, but he just isn’t a good MLB whatsoever. For all his touted study ethics/smarts, he cannot diagnose well, takes poor angles, cannot stand up and play like a dominant force, like an Urlacher or Lewis. Push him outside. Trade someone for that higher need. Branch is physically gifted, but he’s a liability at safety. Chris Johnson is fast and athletic, but that he’s our best #2 shows how bad and inexperienced the depth is behind him. Raw physically talented guys who still need a year or two perhaps before they step up. Thus, in need of veteran smarts. Eg, Porter should not be on the roster.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:18 am
Most Raider fans aren’t as tough as they act.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:20 am
Al doesn’t care if the team wins or loses, as long as he’s in control. A losing effort with his signature on it eases his insecurities much more than a victory with someone else’s signature. After all, his job is safe. He has one goal. For everyone to know the Raiders are his team. Winning doesn’t even factor into the equation anymore.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:22 am
The only players, coaches, or front office personnel who are afraid of Al Davis, and would ever tolerate him “yelling” at them, are the ones who aren’t talented or skilled enough to get on with any other team.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:36 am
Hey there.. MR… hows it going little buddy… yea al Davis is a monster. . Now drink your war chocolate milk… just drink Your meds. .. I mean. . You’re skittles. .. everything is going to be just fine.. OK?..
. .. sweet dreams. …
September 19th, 2011 at 12:38 am
This was gut wrenching, but you got to feel good about the direction that this team is heading.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:39 am
It’s a bit of a crisis due to the hard schedule we have. We should’ve beaten the Bills on paper and on the day. 2-0 heading into Jets-Pats, where we could understand getting outplayed by those superior coached vet talented teams.
Instead, this roster is still unsure about itself, the coaches and Al still persevering or tinkering, a real bad lack of depth, as the weeks fly by. For this team to be able to beat teams like the Jets, Pats, we have to improve the roster immediately. More mercilessness needed.
Our decade-long suffering is due to the D, this game yet again lost on D, but the mere fact Miller is still on the team, actually active to return kicks is an example of this point. Especially given all the mid-week lip-service about how talented and versatile Miller is, etc.
Just bite the bullet. So many players to either get rid of, trade, move from starters to back-ups, or shift positionally.
Miller, out.
Schilens, out.
CJ and Porter out, Sheppard and Moore in. Bring in some other vet CB who understands the game.
Boyd out.
Shift McClain to Sam, Groves/Wimbley at Will, trade Bush for an established proven MLB.
Start D.Moore and DHB/Hagan, with Murphy/Ford. Bring in a vet possession receiver, don’t care how slow.
Transition excess players kept at positions in order to improve the starting crew at DB and LB. Who cares about hording a 7th WR cos he’s fast, or a 4th TE etc.
This team’s weakness is DB/LB. Must do whatever to improve this asap.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:43 am
Hey tay. … I’m not worried bro… I think were going to beat the jets next week.. I knew this game vs Buffalo was a toss up…and I knew it was going to be a close one…
the NFL scheduling the raiders on away game on Mon night and across to east coast is BS man… the d was gassed. . Well play better vs jets.. watch!! Game will be good but I think we win..
September 19th, 2011 at 12:44 am
Put Branch at FS, Huff at CB, get rid of Porter and Johnson and Boyd, bring in Sheppard and S.Moore (bring in some other vet CB to work out).
Groves/Wimbley (for now at Will). McClain Sam. Trade for a stud MLB from a team in need of a RB (M.Bush).
Get rid of Miller, Schilens, a TE. Convert those horded extras to CB/LB signings.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:49 am
Gg. .. you can’t panick man…. I’m convinced the defense will be better next week…. I think our defense is closer to the. Way wecplayed in den then how it played in second half vs Buffalo. .. the fatigue factor was totally an issue man…they were gassed man..
September 19th, 2011 at 12:50 am
Grrr. So disappointing. Frustration with the roster management, scholarships, hording of excess athletes to suffer quality at CB/LB. Don’t care who is to blame, Al or Hue or combination of the two. Must be merciless. Transition ‘value’ across to the D. The football-IQ quality of our safeties, CBs, and LBs are sub-standard. Repeat repetitiously.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:52 am
when did the D get gassed?
At halftime while resting on a 21-3 lead?
In the 3rd quarter after having it easy the first half?
They weren’t GASSED.
They sucked, couldn’t get off the field in the 2nd half, and BECAME gassed in the 4th quarter. Had nothing to do with the time zone.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:53 am
They were gassed because they’re not good enough to force three and outs, and fourth and outs at the end. The DCing is partly to blame because the DCing is trying to compensate for the lack of quality starters at CB, S, LB. DC got them playing ‘off’ because of how much a liability CJ, Branch and McClain were in getting gashed across the middle pass and run.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:54 am
Just for GG:
Bill Callahan’s famous (and probably true) “Dumbest team in America” announcement:
http://tinyurl.com/dumbestteam
September 19th, 2011 at 12:57 am
Indeed. The problem is that football IQ of certain players is just not there. Same reason why for repeat false starters.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:59 am
There is almost no chance of the Raiders beating the Jets next week. Maybe if Sanchez goes down…and early. Otherwise, Sunday will be a sparring match for the top tiered New York Jets.
September 19th, 2011 at 1:01 am
Someone here has advised a skeptical fan to look at the way the Raiders performed against Denver as a source of optimism for next week. This is laughable. You mean look at the way the Raiders played punch for punch with one of the worst teams in the league, barely squeaking by?
September 19th, 2011 at 1:04 am
As part of my prediction for the Raiders vs. Bills, I promised Buffalo wouldn’t drop passes the way Denver did. Anyone not believe me now?
And, anyone also realize what would have happened if Denver’s receivers had caught those passes that hit them right on the numbers, as Buffalo did today?
Basically, the Raiders are 0-2. They’re about as lucky of a 1-1 as you will find. Their record after Sunday, 1-2, will paint a much more accurate picture of this franchise.
September 19th, 2011 at 1:07 am
2011 is more encouraging than 2010, yes. This team under Hue is better, yes. Hue is a gun, yes. But the roster management is just not at 100% potential. Still carrying so much dead-weight and talentless depth, hording athletes at certain positions and suffering lack of quality/depth on D.
Towards the end of the game we were all praying hands on face pulling hair, HOPING for a LUCKY win to save face, just to be 2-0 undeservedly when we should’ve been 2-0 with more sureness and deservedness.
Instead, we’re now looking at 1-3, and potentially wasting more weeks fart-a**ing around with the roster till we get to a point where we’re like 2-6 and looking to finish 7-9, instead of making sure from the get-go we are only putting good players at starting positions (not the best we have from the hording and scholarships)
September 19th, 2011 at 1:13 am
Seriously, you all know the following players are dispensable. And you’d gladly get rid of them and/or transition them.
NMiller, CSchilens, one of DAusberry/RGordon/BMeyer, CJohnson, JPorter, QGroves/KWimbley, McClain to Sam or back-up MLB, Branch, Huff, Boyd, Giordano.
Seriously, none of those players are indispensable. But we hoard them. You would gladly get rid of them if you could have a Lance Briggs, an EJ Henderson, a Lito Sheppard, an Antoine Winfield, a Derrick Mason or whomever. Some smarter renowned older slightly slower players.
Not saying we can get those players, but we need some of those kinds of players starting, and pushing the rubbish of our roster out, and pushing some of our current younger starters as the back-ups to those vets.
September 19th, 2011 at 2:03 am
1 Mon, Sep 12 @ Denver 23-20 W
2 Sun, Sep 18 @ Buffalo 35-38 L
3 Sun, Sep 25 New York 4:05 PM ET
4 Sun, Oct 02 New England 4:15 PM ET
5 Sun, Oct 09 @ Houston 1:00 PM ET
6 Sun, Oct 16 Cleveland 4:05 PM ET
We’ll likely be 2-4 at the completion of 6 weeks. Realistically. Teams we’re JUST beating or losing to are of lower standard, finding ourselves equally matched against them. Teams like Bengals, Broncos, Browns, Dolphins, Buccaneers, Niners, Cardinals, etc.
September 19th, 2011 at 2:38 am
It’s possible that the long flight and playing three time zones away from home caught up with the Raiders in the second half, though.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Naturally, you still have to win but I think this played a big part in the defensive collapse in the second half.
Still, some real positives on this team.
September 19th, 2011 at 3:23 am
Mr Tatum {rip} must of turned in his grave after Branch jarred the ball loose and the refs felt sorry for em and gave the most ridiculous penalty ive ever seen man…..WE CANNOT PLAY RAIDER FOOTBALL,they allowed to run little- slants all day long and we cant hit em wtf..they even throwing flags by accident because its the Raiders….that game was stolen by the officials i dont care what Hue says deep down he knows it..they`ve made this great game into a game for pussies
September 19th, 2011 at 3:31 am
Says it f’ing all doesn;t it?

September 19th, 2011 at 4:12 am
Well I have to say if the Defense keeps letting receivers for the Bills run past them, then we are in trouble. Jones, the rookie had no business out on the field!! I know injuries can a toll, but the flip was he doing not locating the ball. Penalties are killing us again! I can’t believe this game should have been won! As for the Offense way to step up JC and the offense. Great play, all game. HJ get Chuck to pull Jones off the field, find an replacement quickly! Go RAIDERS!
September 19th, 2011 at 4:20 am
Kirk Morrison-2
Oakland Raiders-0
Build a Defense
September 19th, 2011 at 4:40 am
That was one heck of a game. I would say JC came to life. That was the best game I have seen from him. Hagen & Moore were what we thought they were.
They stopped our running game and that allowed too much time for them to strike.
I dont know what to say about the D. The second half reminded me of opening monday when Cutler raped D hall and the rest of the team.
The good news is we struck back instead of quitting. I also noticed penalties killed us every time we stopped them. And sometimes the flags were a little late. I hate to buy into the conspiracy theory but other teams get away with a lot of crap on us and we get nailed everytime its important
September 19th, 2011 at 4:43 am
Just 1 stop in the 2nd half… That’s all , and the defense couldn’t do it…couldn’t make a play….I just don’t buy the Eastcoast time diffrence as an excuse..all the westcoast and eastcoast teams deal with it….this was poor play and poor coaching…
The offense had to deal with the same condictions and played well… Especially Jason Campbell.. Good job………the defense better do some bigtime soul searching….take it out on the Jets…we knew the Raiders would be involved in some shootouts but Sunday’s games was a defensive nightmare….I’m still sick to my stomach this morning after watching that 2nd half……
September 19th, 2011 at 4:44 am
Go ahead and call me a racist, I dont care.
Hue is either nervous or not very bright
September 19th, 2011 at 4:47 am
Their Oline was stout. Fitz stayed in the pocket and it was a nice sized pocket
September 19th, 2011 at 4:50 am
I take that back. He is bright. He is just getting smoked by brighter head coaches. Hopefully he will wise up.
We will be 2 – 2 in two weeks
September 19th, 2011 at 4:51 am
Plunk… I agree… We’ve seen more than a couple time where the refs have had to pick flags up in our games and say never mind…no penalty.. Looks like the league has gone flag happy( especially on our team)
September 19th, 2011 at 4:55 am
Maybe Al (Sanders) should call plays while Hue concentrates on being a HC. It worked for pimphand
September 19th, 2011 at 4:56 am
Yep, the Dline looked like a diffrent unit from the first half and last Monday’s game…
I’ve seen a lot of Raider games that we’ve lost the lead but yesterday’s was one of the more painful loses… I was feeling pretty good till the 3rd quarter ..they have to take it out on the jets ..
September 19th, 2011 at 5:15 am
CJ is too old. He has lost a step or three
September 19th, 2011 at 5:16 am
Putting any blame on the refs in this game is ridiculous.
The only call I had a problem with was the illegal contact call on RoMac in the first half, just because it had nothing to do with the play. But it was illegal contact.
Refs picked up the flag on the Routt PI call in the first half. The Branch helmet-to-helmet was called the same way in all the other games I watched, and will be called that all year. The CJ holding penalty at the end was ridiculous by CJ, it was a hold and illegal use of the hands.
September 19th, 2011 at 5:18 am
D-Mac in the second half:
9 carries 20 yards 1 lost fumble.
Bush, zero carries in the second half
Not sure what that is all about
September 19th, 2011 at 5:21 am
Fingers
It did not bother me as much as other loses over the past years. I see lots of young playmakers, especially on offense, we would never have come back like that, we would have quit, we traveled cross country after a late monday night travel game (another one of those coincedinces from the NFL)
Make a trade for some D help. Mister Davis is always good for that. Maybe a true NT to help stop the dam run.
September 19th, 2011 at 5:23 am
I hate to blame the refs but all in all we get a raw deal. That early travel game is unfair. The NFL needs to do something about it when only 34% of the west coast teams win.
September 19th, 2011 at 5:24 am
As a matter of fact the discharge has one early game and we have 5 which is the norm.
September 19th, 2011 at 5:25 am
Man who ever agreed wit that BS presser bout hagan
an who ever said he wasn’t good as the other receivers
an that moore shouldn’t be playin is the dumbest f’ks on here an should stay off this blog or any other. Go back to football school 101
Moore an hagan are by faaaaaaarrrr an away the best receivers on the roster
defense sucks Seymour is old Mc Clain is no good
overrated. CJ 37 is done retire homey. Nnamdi is irreplaceable
al Davis has his hands on this team. An chuck B
go back to where u came from. Hiring him was like the hiring
the bed n breakfast guy. An DMAC needs to hold on to the ball
an all this stuff I just wrote wouldn’t be here. Hold on we win turnover we lost
on to the jets an pats oh boy!!
September 19th, 2011 at 5:28 am
Terrible Terrible loss no excuse. However, the team showed enough weapons and creativity on offense to scare the rest of the league. One bad loss is not the season and it may be the turning point that the players and coaches can use to motivate the team in future games whether they are up or down.
September 19th, 2011 at 5:28 am
Plunk,
I am with you on the schedule though.
All West Coast teams on the East Coast should be afternoon games.
Home teams win about 55% of games on average, but they are banging out close to 70% of those games.
September 19th, 2011 at 5:31 am
I told people they were waaaay too quick in trying to call that Pats-Raiders Seymour trade.
I wouldn’t take it back, but Richard is clearly on the downside of his career, and the Pats rookie RT they drafted will make the Pro Bowl very soon.
I would argue we could use a Pro Bowl RT making $3 million a year more than we need an aging DT making $14 million a year.
September 19th, 2011 at 5:41 am
Only problem is Al has a bad track record of picking first rounders. No telling who he would have picked so you have to take that into the debate.
Truth is we will never know
September 19th, 2011 at 5:42 am
McClain played a crappy game but his fantasy points were amongst the highest of all LB’s, lol.
7 solo’s, 3 passes defensed, 1 TFL
September 19th, 2011 at 5:44 am
Seymour will flag here an there but not 14mil worth
he’s lost a step. Umm looks like mm34 haters look stupid now too
he’s missed guarding TE’s. Mc Clain is sticking it up in coverage
September 19th, 2011 at 5:45 am
MM34 will not be much of an upgrade, IMO.
When he’s healthy, I bet he is still splitting reps with the other guys.
September 19th, 2011 at 5:45 am
Sorry meant Seymour will flash in post 982
September 19th, 2011 at 5:46 am
They reported in the paper here that McClain had 10 tackles but I was sitting pretty damn close and McClain played like garbage.
September 19th, 2011 at 5:50 am
Give Gailey and Buffalo credit. They knew they couldnt block our DLine for 4 quarters so they picked us apart with short plays over the middle, and exposed our LBs coverage ability. Chucky B called a sh1t game, what did we blitz, once?? Twice?
Denarious Moore is an absolute MONSTER! If he isnt our starter going forward than we have big big problems, and Hue doesnt have any control over the team.
Can we PLEASE get rid of Nick Miller. He set us up with garbage field position all day long. He is a MAJOR liability right now.
September 19th, 2011 at 5:54 am
McClain looks lost at times. Man the should went hard after cromartie. I’ve said this bfore
our secondary will be fine. But I’m seeing an old CJ37
out their getting cooked. At least throw one of the kids out there an let them get baptized
at least they’ll be developing. Dline had a really bad game
too.
Jets might catch a fit next week from us
we should be possed off as a unit an ready to kick jet a$$
September 19th, 2011 at 5:58 am
Oh an let’s not talk about the roster spot killer
WHY IN THE F’K IS HE ON THE ROSTER!!!
Can someone please please answer this?
September 19th, 2011 at 5:58 am
HAD 2 LEAVE THE ROOM WHEN NICK MILLER DOES A FACE PLANT ON THE 5 YARDLINE WITHOUT BEING TOUCHED..AND WHEN THE HEADCOACH CHALLENGS A PLAY THAT IS UNCHALENGABLE.
September 19th, 2011 at 5:59 am
I dont understand what people see in Romac..he is big and looks imposing but i struggle to see anything beyond that. He doesnt make big hits or big plays.,has horrible hands, he’s not flying around the field and he doesnt seem to possess the middle backer leadership skills. i can excuse some of his reads to inexperience but he hurts us tremendously. The only reason he led the team in tackles yesterday is because fitzgerald knew if he needed 6 or 7 yards that he could go to Romacs man. it was tiring see the bills go to the middle of the field and have not fear of getting hit hard. Except for the way he looks in a uniform I do not see any positives.
I agree that Chuck B is eventually gone, but Branch, Mcclain, and Johnson all had easy Ints which could have ended the game and they dropped them or in Branch’s case just completely missed it. Many of us have been expressing concern about the raider db since preseason. If we don t bring in some cover guys, we will have a frustrating season. The Bills figured out that spreading the field and taking a 3 step drop eliminates our pass rush while one of their receivers will be open because we play a soft man to man. CJ37 hasnt been good for awhile and that drop in the end zone cements how bad he is. After getting burned all day, all he had to do is catch it and we would be 2-0.
I feel out of the next 3 games , the Jets game is our best hope as Rex Ryan wont allow sanchez to throw 45 times which is the way to dominate our d. Tom Brady will throw for at least 6 touchdowns and the texans wills embarass Mcclain with their backs and have a big day.
Our offense show great promise, you cant do what Denairus did with out having a lot of skill. JC is playing with confidence and poise and if our D could be just average we will be a playoff team
September 19th, 2011 at 6:03 am
Chucky B called a sh1t game, what did we blitz, once?? Twice?
***********************
The last two drives, we blitzed on at last half the plays.
McClain blitzed at least 4-5 times himself on those drives, although he just ran into the O-lineman and did nothing.

Not excusing McClain, because effort seemed like an issue (he wasn’t the only one though) and that is unacceptable.
But people were willing to give Jamarcus 4 years, it took D-Mac into his 3rd year to look good, and DHB still gets a pass going into year 3.
Can we at least give McClain the same amount of time as those guys before we completely write him off?

The worst play I saw from McClain was the screen to Spiller on the last drive.
The one where Seymour had him for a loss, and Spiller just ducked under him and made our $15 million dollar man look foolish.
McClain was pushed down field a good 20 yards by the O-lineman, and there was an obvious level of quit in McClain on that play.
Embarressing.
September 19th, 2011 at 6:13 am
Wow there’s one play where McClains back was to the guy with the ball had it not been for Boyd makin a play. McClain looked lost seriously
go back an watch the tape.
September 19th, 2011 at 6:14 am
I never in my life seen worse kick returning than what we saw from Miller yesterday.
He wasn’t as bad on the punts, but the kick returns were pathetic.
Than Hue puts Rock back there, on the last kickoff with 15 seconds left.
Hey Hue, just a smidge late there partner!!!

Not much positive to talk about defensively. It is what it is though. We HAVE to win at least one of the next 3 games that we should lose (in the eyes of the NFL)

Cork, Jerry Mac and Tafur all commented that during training camp he seemed to be missing that fire he had last year. Seems to have not come back in time for the regular season.
September 19th, 2011 at 6:23 am
Romac will have an opportunity to play cause we have no one else, but unlike our other “possible drafts busts” i just don’t see the potential. He doesnt make big hits, has horrible hands/coverage skills and seems to lack that fire. on that last play he could have switched to nelson and owned the middle of the field like most middle backers are taught to do, instead he abandoned his team and stuck to his man and let nelson wide open for a game ending TD. I am just as concerned about his lack of physical skills though in addition to his inexperience . I struggled to remember a quality Middle Line backer who didnt make nasty hits and or fly around the field. we’ll see maybe the lightbulb will eventually go off and hell hit someone and actually cause a fumble

I said that all week, and people mocked the Bills O-line, and especially Erik Pears.
That is the game plan for most teams on Sunday’s, no matter who they play.
It’s a spread them out, quick passing league right now, and you need depth at DB.
September 19th, 2011 at 6:29 am
The offense took what the D gave’em,, they took away the deep ball because Al’s defense always think teams will do the 7 step drop back and throw the long ball, however we also gave the bills Wrs 8-9 yd cushions and they recognize our predictable man scheme so they simply drew our lbs to the sideline leaving 10-12yds of open field in the middle and that’s exactly where they threw the ball. That’s what a prevent d will do. We all wanted more blitzing but we’re one of the worst blitzing teams in the league. All I saw was everybody running into the middle of a pile. We blizted better when Marshal was our DC. I hope Woodson has DVD ready to take over that 2cb spot, or atleast cut N. Miller and bring back Lito Sheppard.

Tom Cable was his line coach. Ask him
September 19th, 2011 at 6:35 am
Chuck B. is worthless, he played the defense to soft and Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Bills coaching staff adjusted to his soft schemes that he was employing. This is what I’ve been saying in regards to the talent that he had on defense when he was here our super-bowl year, we had better defenders overall then, and they could overcome his flawed schemes players like eric allen,rod woodson,charles woodson,bill romanowski,william thomas,tory james,,,etc… were better players than we have now in the coverage-packages. IMO Chuck.B is not an improvement over John Marhshall, and Uncle AL played the the cheap on Nnamdi, those are major issues right now, not our offense, our offense will be fine,we have to be prepared to watch a lot of high scoring games this year that will go either way.
September 19th, 2011 at 6:36 am
The fact that we have to move our free safety to nickel corner is a fcking gdamn joke.
The NFL has never been as pass happy as it is now and we have no depth at CB.
September 19th, 2011 at 6:36 am
I don’t blame Chuck B for this game at all.
He was changing things up, trying to blitz, he put Chekwa and Joe Porter in the game in the 2nd half to see if that would help (DVD came in for one play, gave up a completion than limped off the field), rotated in different safeties, and all that.
The guys weren’t up to the challenge. D-lineman got no rush, LB’s were ghosts in the run game, safeties schooled especially in the red zone, DB’s (even Routt in the 2nd half) were burnt and drew too many flags.
Not sure what people want from Chuck on that. I wasn’t a fan of his hire, but it’s not like he just stayed in some prevent the whole time. Our defense showed a lot of different looks, the only problem is the QB we faced has a 1580 SAT score, and you aren’t going to outthink him.
September 19th, 2011 at 6:38 am
Well we just still haven’t been able to shake that “meltdown” mentality that hits us every once in a while.It goes with being a young defense with a new coordinator. Excuses aside I am still stunned we lost this game. It looks just as ugly this morning as it did yesterday. We came out in the second half with no sense of urgency and regressed into our old selves. Mentally we’ve got to stay with it the whole game and not have any let up and we’ll be alright.

DVD’s knee looked bad yesterday. He got a really nasty gash in it. They bandaged him up on the sidelines and he was limping around a lot. Couldnt tell if he played in the second half or not, as Buffalos offense in the 4th was moving away from me.
September 19th, 2011 at 6:47 am
Trying to look on the bright side:
-You take the defensive performance against Denver and the offensive performance against Buffalo and fuse them into one game delivered on a consistent basis and you have a playoff team. This team is close, man. Consistency of effort may be the #1 issue
-The Jets are beatable with a consistent effort on both sides of the ball. Sanchez is mistake prone. The Cowboys moved the ball really well on the Jets and even in yesterday’s drubbing, MJD averaged 4.9 yards a carry.
-Offensive line is quietly doing very well.
-Moore is living up to the hype
-Routt is mostly handling his business as #1 corner.
September 19th, 2011 at 6:47 am
It was a tough drive back to NW Ohio from Buffalo. I even skipped going to the Anchor Bar for wings. Lots of Raider fans at the game. I’ll comment on the 2nd half defense later. One thing though, Where was the F’cken 2nd half defensive adjustments. Johnson must have 3rd degree burns from the number of times he got toasted. Where was his help? Disgusting waste of a GOOD performance by Campbell.
September 19th, 2011 at 6:48 am
Breash & McClain….
September 19th, 2011 at 6:49 am
After 20-something years of brutal losses — blow-outs, last-minute defeats, etc. — yesterday’s loss may be the absolute worst.
It’s like there’s no one to blame because everyone is to blame. How can the entire defense mail it in? No one running? No one tackling?
When we needed one play — one lousy play — to win the game.
The fact remains that Buffalo’s offense is mediocre. Their offensive line is below-average. On the rare occasions that we got near Fitzpatrick, he couldn’t complete a pass.
I always have opinions about what’s wrong with the Raiders. But I have no idea what happened to this team or how they move on against much better football teams than the Bills.

You knew the Bills would counter what the Raiders did successfully to get to 21-3. They looked at the films and saw that they could BEAT Johnson. The Raiders gave him no help.

Correct me if I am wrong…but the strengths and weaknesses we saw from the Raiders yesterday were on full display during the pre-season. Strong passing game, strong running game….weak linebacking, weak secondary. No ability to tackle runners when they break in to the secondary. The Raiders organization went with the line “the preseason doesn’t matter” and made no effort to bring in talented free agents or trade for players that would address fixing said weaknesses. The Raiders offense will have to out-gun opposing teams for the rest of the season to have any chance at success.
September 19th, 2011 at 7:24 am
The jets looked good yesterday but let’s not give’em too much credit. They were playing against Luke McCown and had ints gift wrapped to them, which gave them very short scoring drives,other than that I wasn’t impressed with their offense at all. I will say that the Raiders should watch film on the jets D and pay attention to how they execute a blitz, we definitely can learn from them.

That was a hell of a game, huh? Gotta give serious respect to the O line of Buffalo. Looking at their stats the last couple of seasons they are one of the better protection units in the league and played a brutal schedule last year(NE(2), NYJ(2), Pitt, Balt, Chi) but only gave up 24 sacks to Fitz. I think they are a very underrated group.

Morning Nation!
Yesterday was the toughest game to watch I think even tougher than the SB because the SB was a blowout from the word go.
The game was lost during the last possession. As a defense you have to intercept the ball when you get your hands on it.
If Chris Johnson intercepts that ball in the end zone, he would have been forgiven for the horror show he put on yesterday.
And Chuck B. With 1 play to close out the game how do you not go man to man? When that TE went in motion and no one followed, I yelled Oh Shii Oh Shii Oh Shii as loud as I could. Then I just let out my biggest F Bomb in Life, And put my head down. I went straight for the shoe and my wife yelled “don’t do it.”
It was tough man, it was tough. Damn. I feel a little better today. Only slightly.

“Correct me if I am wrong…but the strengths and weaknesses we saw from the Raiders yesterday were on full display during the pre-season. Strong passing game, strong running game….weak linebacking, weak secondary. No ability to tackle runners when they break in to the secondary. The Raiders organization went with the line “the preseason doesn’t matter” ”
You are exactly correct sir so many people in here complained about that very thing and then so many others with their heads up their butts said “its only preseason don’t worry”
Good call!

Defense wins Championships, unfortunately ours didn’t show up for the second half..Honestly..the whole thing was like watching a series of bad decisions that resulted in a search and rescue mission..with the participants fighting for their lives..It went from Blue Bird to a Tempest in 3 minutes….and it cost them their toes..

LOL! I think we all had versions of that story yesterday.
I was sitting right on the field….saw the play happening…and everyone in the stadium on pins and needles…then they completed that pass…and I just walked out…people trying to high-five me and I just walked right on by…to the taxi….to the car…and on home.
September 19th, 2011 at 7:54 am
Add insult to injury yesterday the damn network breaks away to show the frkn dolts game with less than a minute to play down here in so cal. Had to listen to the end of the game on the radio. Man Papa was like “what just happened?” he said that about 4 or 5 times.
September 19th, 2011 at 7:54 am
McClain gets a C. I still think he’s ok in the pass game….the run game is a different story…still not seeing enough action from him in that category. Maybe he was a step slow or its reaction time.
To me the culprit yesterday…and they have to fix this fast..is Chris Johnson playing like deAngelo Hall. GET UP ON THAT MAN AND BUMP HIS AZZ AT THE LINE….also the Raiders struggled with screens again…and the D-Line went to sleep.
Kameron Wimbley should have been the difference maker out there today.

I h8 to say it but I think we may have Romac change positions put him on weakside and start (ugh) Ricky Brown. McClain is consistently out of position and over pursuing his containment. But sense we are stubborn and hr he is only in his 2nd season this will not happen soon.
September 19th, 2011 at 7:57 am
Thec,
I am calmed down…I had to restrain myself from posting some B.S yesterday.
But in all seriousness…The Raiders can’t afford too many of these “shoulda woulda coulda” games.
I hate that shhhh
I also think we have to have a new rule.
At the end of the year, regardless of outcome….no one can say
“Well IF the Raiders beat Buffalo then…..”
These games count! Just like the one 80 yard run out of 10 1 yard runs count!
To me, this was another CONCENTRATION loss.
September 19th, 2011 at 7:58 am
Yeah Thec,
I was going right for Fitzpatrick on the screen with that shoe. I almost lost it there for a second. My TV (and me a few hours later) thank my wife for being there at that moment.

The best way to contain a spread dink and dunk offense is to TACKLE, and the Raiders failed miserably at that yesterday. I know everyone wants C Johnson’s head on a platter(understandably) but I say we lost that game because of the really bad tackling throughout the game.
3 yard pass, missed tackle, first down. Over and over and over. This is exactly what NE will do as well.

Raiders still can’t win on the road and still struggle outside the AFC West.
Another blown opportunity that leaves us, the fans, confused and dismayed.
After 9 years we are still waiting on this crap to stop. Apparently 2011 won’t be the year.
Raiders need to steal 1 out of the next 3 games (Jets, Patriots, Texans) and then put Cleveland and the Chiefs away to enter the bye week 4-3.
September 19th, 2011 at 8:11 am
Did Vandyke get hurt?
September 19th, 2011 at 8:12 am
Where the FXCK was Bush in the second half? They had McFaddens #. With 4 minutes to go instead of the bomb to DMo17 we should have had Bush cramming it down their throats. Hue put too much faith in a defense that couldnt stop anyone.
Oh and that challenging an unchallengable play was BS man. That TD SHOULD have been challenged, and I think it is ridiculous that it is a penalty on the team for requesting a challenge when one didnt come down from the booth.
Good news is we reduced the penalties down to 8 (7 if you disregard the bs one on Hue) but they still came at killer times.
September 19th, 2011 at 8:12 am
Seymour’s horrible missed tackle late in the game really hurt too.
But the performances of Branch and CJ are totally unacceptable. Branch gave up the long TD run and let the ball go right past him for a TD. I don’t really care how much he throws his hands up after the play and looks upset. STFU and do us all a favor and retire.
CJ, you are what we all knew you were: JUNK.
Our secondary is 3/4th crap and everyone knows it. And Routt is still on my skeptical list.
September 19th, 2011 at 8:12 am
Yeah tackling was awful and alot of missed tackles from over pursuit. But it comes down to mental toughness. First half we were in the game mentally and we looked dominant but it’s hard to say why we relaxed in the second half. Someone in here said our defensive leaders failed to keep us in the game and i gotta agree. Seymour, Mclain, and Huff let us down big time.

I was mad yesterday. By this morning I have come to terms with the fact that this is still the same ol Raiders. Nothings changed.
They aren’t a Bully, or “Back” as some might suggest. They are a mediocre team with a Rookie HC and suspect staff.
Only thing different is they actually have a little talent on offense that when “on” can look good.

I admire your optimism, but if we get shredded by Ryan Fitzpatrick how the heck are we gonna stop Sanchez and the Jets? Outscore ‘em? The Jets?
What does anybody see in that defense that even remotely suggests we can stop anybody?
That Bills team is not the “greatest show on turf”. My god they are the damn Bills and we let them score on FIVE STRAIGHT posessions for TD’s?
I want to believe the Raiders will “fix this” but how are they gonna do that? What CAN they do? They are who they are and it is freaking horrible.

Nick Miller reminds me of the one white guy on the end of every NBA bench. People just stare at him and wonder WTF he is doing on the team.
September 19th, 2011 at 8:19 am
Nick Miller is just as responsible for that loss as the defense. He had our offense in a hole all day long. Not having Jacoby Ford out there was also very tough (although it gave Hagan and Moore their shot).
There is no way Hagan and Moore are not active for the rest of the season unless they are injured. DMo17 is the best receiver on this time by a WIDE margin.

September 19th, 2011 at 8:31 am
The great news is that the offense really looks competitive. The Bills focused mostly on stopping DMAC and Bush….JC and the receivers were able to exploit that down the field.
That should hold up MOST games…
I actually for the 1st time had a sense of confidence that the Raiders were going to put points on the board. I admire their ability to respond time and time again to defensive failings.
If not for the DMAC fumble…I think the Raiders would have matched the Bills point for point and won the game.
Of course, no way should a defense not stop the opponent once for an entire quarter…let alone an entire half.
September 19th, 2011 at 8:31 am
Raider Nation JMACK is back…Fellas, yesterday was one of the worst games i have ever been apart of as a raider fan. My dad from out west called me at halftime and said this is Raider heaven!!! The blame of this game goes to our defense obviously..35 points in the second half!! how many third downs did they convert? 4th downs??
Fellas, the second..and i mean the second i saw the way our defense was lined up in the second half i knew we were done..i SAID IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN..we were playing that soft NICKEL with 4 DOWN LINEMEN and 2 linebackers in man!!!! BILLS laughed when they saw that sh*t..
Mcclain yes was jumping to the inside hole every time they ran it, and jackson kept bouncing it off tackle and it killed us..we got so mad about stopping the run we kept the wrong people on the field and BUFF went 5 WIDE and took advantage of mcclain in the middle..and johnson on the outside..
Guys i wish there was an easier way to say this, but there isn’t. Buffalo played a perfect game almost, FITZ was dropin back and gettin rid of that ball on his 5th step..nothing you can do against great execution..they ran a gimick offense and 6yd’d us up the field, THE EXACT THING I WOULD DO IF I WAS A O-COORDINATOR PLAYING AGAINST THE RAIDERS!!!..
We couldnt tackle and we couldnt cover..CHUCKY B called one of the worst games i have ever seen a DCOORD call. WE GOT SO DARN SOFT…we should have blitzed more in the second half and played more zone in the middle of the field..FELLAS THE LOSS IS TO BLAME ON BREZZ!!!!

It is impossible for any fan of a team to just “sit back and enjoy” a season if the team is playing bad. Otherwise, what’s the point of watching? If you’re sacrificing about 4 hours every Sunday (8-10 hours for those who attend a game), and the team isn’t competitive, it’s impossible to discern any kind of pleasant experience out of it. It’s miserable. You can’t lie to yourself and tell yourself you don’t care. I think the verdict was in on whether or not your cared the moment you set your alarm for 10am the previous evening, as if you had to be at work.

It’s not like he fumbled at our 10 yard line. The defense didn’t step up one time. Take McFadden and his 2 TDs and 140+ yards away and we lose that game 53-7.

I don’t care if people think Fitzpatrick played a perfect game or not our defense was exposed yesterday and you can bet every team that we play this year will use that tape to game plan for us.
If it is not fixed we will see this all year long.
September 19th, 2011 at 8:38 am
oh and who else agrees we are in dire need of Mike Mitchell returning to the lineup??..This game woke us up, JETS should be tough..IDK how we are going to throw the ball on revis and cromartie..were gona have to take our shots sparingly and on cromartie, bush and dmac have to grind this one out fellas…i will take a 17-14 type showing..OUR DEFENSE HAS TO KEEP US IN THE GAME, but you gota think that BUFF opened alot of peoples eyes to our DEFENSE…hopefully we fix it(BREZ stops being so damn conservative)..but if not, alot of teams are going to have their way with us..

When a team scores on every drive for an entire half that is just a full blown azz whipping our D took yesterday.
September 19th, 2011 at 8:44 am
We had the same problems in Denver last week, but when Denver’s players were wide open they dropped the ball or the QB dropped the ball.
This is going to be a major issue when playing against any competent QB.
What is the point of having LBers who can’t cover if those same LBers can’t stop the run? Shouldn’t they be able to do one or the other to justify their existence?
September 19th, 2011 at 8:46 am
The Raiders looked like Victor Ortiz.. Turn their head and get knocked out!!! Soft defense.. Brez sux!! This isn’t 2002 where we have the number 1 offense in the league. We need both sides of the ball to play consistent.

I’m not even upset about the penalty for challenging a non-challengeable play…it pretty much ensured that the raiders would get the ball at the 20yd line instead of the 10-15 yard line because Nick Miller trips on his own feet every time.

September 19th, 2011 at 8:53 am
Some of this makes no sense. To just claim the the scheme sucked or, the defense is no good because of departed players doesnt match what we saw on the field.
If scheme was the problem how do you account for what we did to denver, and and what we did to buffalo in the first half? Every home team will make a run, and players were in position to make plays but they failed. Dropped ints, failure to tackle, and penalties have nothing to do with scheme.
When we dont blitz, people scream we should blitz more. Well we did blitz but our guys didnt get there. You complain about man to man and say we need zone. We played zone got smoked and now you say the zone was the problem. Well that isnt true. we played zone knowing they would have to throw, and forced them to throw underneath our zone. The problem was the tackling and penalties.
Stop straddling the fence. There were missed tackles at every level of the defense and our secondary couldnt avoid the penalties. End of story

Thec07 I was on here last night for a while, stating my observations and venting just like everyone else…My comments are essentially mixed in with the 1200 other ones on here lol.
Brutal, Brutal, Brutal Loss…everyone knows it, but Now I think it is time to move on. We have a big game on Sunday, were tied for first place, and if we can give these Jets a beat down, we will be feeling confident enough to bring on Brady and the Patsies…
This Jets game is going to turn the tide one way or the other. We win, and we will beat the crap out of the Patsies, we lose and I think this team goes into the tank.
I guess we’ll find out.

If not for the DMAC fumble…I think the Raiders would have matched the Bills point for point and won the game.
+++++++++++++
McFadden’s fumble hurt for sure, but blaming him is like blaming a flight attendant for not stopping the terrorists from ramming the plane into the towers.
It’s not like he fumbled at our 10 yard line. The defense didn’t step up one time. Take McFadden and his 2 TDs and 140+ yards away and we lose that game 53-7.
===================================================
I agree 100%
The defense is 100% to blame.
Everyone lectured me about how the defense would get better if the offense would just score more.
Well…

September 19th, 2011 at 8:57 am
FUKKKKKKKKKKKKK the “D” and team thought is was in the bag after half time and we see what happened! Chucks calls on “D” were horrible. WTF, why did he keep calling blitzes on first and third and long? it is just dumbfounding. Also why did he not roll over coverage to Johnsons side! F-in frustrating loss. We will see if the team learned anything from this and makes it a game against the jets. Offense looks great and I am glad to see Campbell can carry this team if he is asked to.
September 19th, 2011 at 8:58 am
Mistic,
This falls on the Raider defensive players.
I have talked a lot about how difference makers have to stand up and be accountable.
There were NO difference plays made in that 2nd half.
Elite players have to make plays.
Asking for 1 stop in the 2nd half should not be too much to ask.
Damn the jetlag

But he’s surrounded by modern technology and an array of assists, who could get a message from his bedroom to the visiting team’s sideline at Ralph Wilson stadium in less than a nano-second.

I never want to read about our qb not being good enough ever again. Jc almost won this game with a bunch of back ups, no named scrubs, and like macgyver with duct tape he worked miracles.
JC for the season so far
33 /55 65.5 comp% 428 yds, 5tds (3 passing 2 rushing) 1 int 99.7 rating, 5 completions over 20 yards and 2 over 40
PREDICTABLY THE HATERS HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT,
WHAT A JOKE
September 19th, 2011 at 9:04 am
Scheme and management meddling with the coaching staff has hurt the Raiders for years. Articles, even books have been written about it. At this point, in order to believe that Al Davis doesn’t meddle, you’d need your head to be buried just far enough up your ass to see your colon.
September 19th, 2011 at 9:04 am
The Jets, Pats and Texans are going to mimic Fitzpatrick and the Bills game plan.
So it do or die time folks.
Either we find a way to stop the bleeding on Defense or we end up 1-4 thinking about the draft again in November.
September 19th, 2011 at 9:05 am
The only thing I did not like was the Bills had zero holding penalties against the defense! Is this even possible? We also got flagged for penalties at some of the most crucial tines. I am not making excuses just calling it as I see it. P agree with previous post our tackling on “D” was horrible. I also can not see how they could not stop a zone blocking offense since we played it the past two freaking years!!!
September 19th, 2011 at 9:05 am
The good news is that the defense held the Bills for the most part in the 1st half…..
So I guess they are capable of doing something.
My BIGGEST concern is that the Raiders put an entire half of bad football on film for Brian Schottenheimer, Bill Belicheck and Gary Kubiak to digest.
Chuck B, Al Davis and the Raider defensive players have to really loo at what they are doing and make some serious adjustments in both playcalling and possibly the roster if necessary.
The NFL is a copycat league…and if you can’t stop something…you can expect to see it everytime until you prove you can.
That concerns me greatly right now.
September 19th, 2011 at 9:05 am
Thec, how’s your colon look? lol.
September 19th, 2011 at 9:06 am
Everyone knew that once CJ dropped that INT that the Bills were going to score…he had it and just didn’t put it away…i think he was thinking about jumping into the bills stand to celebrate.

Major adjustments have to be made.

September 19th, 2011 at 9:16 am
goats
this list is tough simply because every body was pretty good until the second half, then it all came crashing down.
CJ 37, was out of position too often and committed far too many penalties. his dropped int could have clinched the game.
giordonnao & boyd, they whiffed tackling runners and were victimized in the under neath passing game. We need missile mike badly.
Branch, this isnt really fair, branch was serviceable but he missed a critical tackle in the run game and his botched int landed in the endzone for a td.
romac. he gave it all he had but he ran out of gas and it was obvious. Once he tired he was unable to tackle, he didnt get near the qb went sent on blitzes, in fact he was manhandled at the line of scrimmage. he couldnt run with the underneath receivers and his penalty was horrible being that we could have been off the field.
The entire defensive line. the big runs right up the gut killed us, our line men were stone walled and kicked in the a$$ by an unproven o line. Arm tackles were run through, and they didnt come close to sniffing a sack. for all of the hype they garnered over the first week, they found out that they cant just roll out of bed and win. houston did squat, seymore had a huge missed tackle shaunessy was facing double teams and his line mates couldnt capitalize.
What happend to the line stunts and twist from last week.

I want to know what the hell is wrong with RoMac. He looked and played terrible yesterday. His efforts could best be described as pathetic. He was seen jogging rather than running after opponents on their way to the end zone. His lack of effort needs to be called out and he needs to 1.) apologize to the Raider faithful and his fellow players for dogging it for the whole day and 2.) explain what he’s going to do to see that this type of lackadaisical effort never happens again while with the Raiders.
I’m actually so pissed at his crappy performance that I seriously think AD should go get Tatupu and sign him as the MLB. Then let RoMac compete with Groves for a starting position. I’ve actually not been sold on RoMac since he joined the team. He’s not what we are looking for at MLB. He’s not stuffing runs, he’s not blowing up plays/players, he’s unable to get off of blocks, he’s not making a defensive difference. Given this list of “nots”, what good is he? I can seriously say that Ricky Brown would have been better yesterday than RoMac. How bad is that?
I really want to know what he’s going to do to change is ways. Right now, he’s just a waste of space.
September 19th, 2011 at 9:27 am
Goats
samson satele.
satele was dominated at the point of attack in the second half, the lack of push in the running game was shocking in the second half.
Cooper carlisle.
in the first two series of the game, both drives were shutdown due to this guy getting absolutely abused. One resulted in a tackle for a loss on a run play, the next resulted in jc being hit as he threw, and forced to throw it too early leading to an incompletion. He some what redeemded himself on the goal line when he and barksdale cleard room for jc on the qb sneak. he quickly gave it all back in the second half. he couldnt move the defense in the run game and MARCELL DAREUS LINED UP OVER HIM AND MADE HIM LOOK LIKE A 90 POUND WEAKLING. The bills properly identified him a s weak spot on our line and began to attck him with their rookie stud, and they did it without stunting. they just lined up and said beat him, and that is eaxtly what happened.
Barnes was equally unimpressive, and thank god hu jack saw this, barksdale got some run in his spot and was an upgrade.
Lets get b campbell in the game more, he saw some time but he could have subbed in the running game to replace an ineffective carlisle that was being pushed around like an empty shopping cart.
September 19th, 2011 at 9:27 am
Thec, you’re right, I can not definitely say that he made the call. But I can say there have been several articles and even books written about his meddling.

Is al davis a zone guy? No. Is al davis a big blitz guy? No.
was it al davis that called chuck b and said open in zone? no, but we did in fact play lots of zone in the second half.
did al davis call chuck b and tell him to blitz? No but chuck b did plenty of it yesterday in an attempt to stop the bleeding.
this is the correct call by chuck b. the bills needed to throw down 21-3. You dont give it up deep, you make them dink and dunk and run clock. You have a chance to tackle receivers in bounds and short of the yard marker. You give the dbs a chance to see the ball and pick off the pass. it was the right call the players didnt execute.
Chuck b called blitzes at the right time to but our guys couldnt get there. you must credit buffalos offensive line they manhandled us.
This had nothing to do with al davis calling the defense, we did things he doesnt like and it failed. when your up by 18 points you play zone, and time the occasional blitz when the team crosses mid field. chuck b called a good game the players let him down
September 19th, 2011 at 9:36 am

No I was only pointing out how stupid both scenarios sounded. Did you watch the game? That the complete failure of the D, was due to Al Davis meddling in the game plan is your theory and that is why we lost the game.
September 19th, 2011 at 9:39 am
Sure the refs led by Raider Hater Mike Carey reviewed what was an indisputable interception, but NEVER reviewed the Bills third TD which the Raiders got flagged 15 yards for challenging a non-challengeable play. Conspiracy theory? No, proof of reality prejudice against the Silver & Black… The f-ing ball wasnt even close to breaking the plane of the goal line!!… Face it, the Raiders got done without lubricant once again by the refs (felt like they were in Sh!ttsburgh)… But Im not making excuses, our pass D and LBs were horrible in the second half!!
Why we didnt bring in Darren Sharper for a look-see is inexcusable!!! Come on, man (talking to you Al Davis)!!!

What a joke,
as if this is his first good game in the silver and black you must have missed last year, and the first game of the season.
wake your game up
+++++++++++++++++++
What world do you live in? A 105 yard game is a good game by a QB? And all those 150-200 yard games were good games last year? Boy you must have low expectations lol.
=================
lay off the fantasy football bra,its not about just stats.
JC delivers what ever we need. If the run game is strong he manages and makes an occasional play hence the low passing numbers. this is why we can have low passing stats and still win.
When the run game is shutdown like yesterday JC becomes the play maker and puts in position to win. for examples look at the kc, san diego, and jacksonville games last year, and yesterdays game.
Just admit that you dont like him so you cant bring yourself to give him credit.
Dont embarrass yourself.

Suckie B was a desperate little scab looking for work, and that’s the best we could come up with?

I don’t know why the defense was so bad yesterday. The looked good early and then sucked later. I don’t know if it was because they wore down because of the short week, east coast thing, for if they just couldn’t counter adjest after Buffalo adjested or what. Hopefully their pride is hurt and they will have something to prove.

Johnson catches the ball – big hit- fumble. Turns out incomplete with a personal foul. Big swing in the game too IMO
================================
That was a fumble and the officals missed it. That would have helped big time and would have been the stop the defense needed.
However, we gotta stop talking about “if they made one play”
This B.S has been going on for a while. Its time for the Raiders to make those plays and win those games.
This game is a loss. Period….no different than the San Fran game last year where the defense played well and the offense stunk it up.
Its a loss. No woulda, coulda, shoulda
The Raiders season hinges on just winning these games…not talking about what ifs, missed coverage etc.

I don’t know what game you were watching yesterday but the game I was watching yesterday the DEFENSE lost the game for us the offense did their job by scoring 35 points.
Anytime you score 35 points you should win!
=====================================
i have already detailed the defensive failures, post # 1201. can you read?
Football is a team sport and the offense had some breakdowns that cost us as well. yes the defense was worse, however that does not absolve mistakes from the offense.
September 19th, 2011 at 9:44 am
I just saw the highlights again on D. Moore.. I can’t help but notice how his route running is so much superior than DHB. On one vertical play in the 2nd qtr, he runs a 9 route and hauls in a 42 yard throw. He runs a few yards from the sideline so he is able to haul it in safely. The same route had DHB run, he would would have caught the ball Out of bounds because he runs so close to the sideline.

why is this so hard to digest? maybe because you have a bias against davis, and chuck b and no matter what they do you will complain.

NMiller has regressed from last year. He no longer holds any value for the Raiders. His performance yesterday was consistent – consistently Schitty! His performance was pathetic. He mirrored the effort and production of #55 RoMac. They both, along with many others, simply sucked.
It’s time to release NMiller or better yet trade him for the Mr. Irrelevant pick (the absolute last pick) in next years draft.
PR should be done by Ford, D-Wow or TJones. The KOR should be Ford, TJones or DHB.
There is no longer any room on the roster for NMiller.
September 19th, 2011 at 9:47 am
Raiderinpa,
Can’t agree completely.
No defense that allows 5 consecutive TD drives deserves to win anything.
A defense that bad only deserves the 1st pick in the draft.
They have to fix it and elite players need to be held accountable. No ands, ifs or buts about it.
September 19th, 2011 at 9:48 am
If the D thinks they were tired yesterday,
just wait till 3pm the next two Sundays…
We will get spread formations galore, underneath screens and draws up the middle to negate our pass rush and make the 2ndary make tackles, which they are not very good at…Gonna be a long couple weeks.
September 19th, 2011 at 9:48 am
Kelly was irate afterward, calling out the Raiders’ defensive backs and linebackers for losing Nelson in coverage.
“Come on, man,” Kelly said. “Do your job. That’s what the man pays you for, to do your job. If you got that guy, follow him to the bathroom.”
Raiders defensive back Chris Johnson also criticized unnamed teammates.
“You’ve got to be on the same page,” Johnson said. “It was blown coverage.”

It’s a weird beginning to the NFL season. There is a ton of scoring going on league wide. It’s just not us. Defenses all over look bewildered. The Falcons did the exact same thing to the Eagles last night that the Bills did to us. 5 TDs in 5 possessions.

According to STATS LLC, the 35 points were the most allowed by the Raiders in a second half. … Discipline continues to play a factor against the Raiders. After being flagged 15 times for 131 yards against the Broncos, they had eight penalties for 85 yards against Buffalo.
===================================================
The lack of discipline will prevent anything good from happening.
Getting paid too much coin and have too many vets for this stuff
September 19th, 2011 at 9:52 am
Terrible all-around display by the D yesterday. Horrid tackling, poor coverage by DBs (Especially Toaster Johnson) and a lack of defensive adjustments by Bresnahan. Our LBs and DBs were exposed for what they are by the spread offense. Brady is going to feel like Giselle invited Heidi in for a menage when he sees our defense.
Offense, on the other hand, looked great. We’ve got something special in Moore and Hagan played great. Campbell really seems to have settled down as well and Wylie’s done a great job with the hogs.
Nick Miller shouldn’t even be playing flag football. It will be a good sign when he gets his bus ticket home.
September 19th, 2011 at 9:52 am
Think the D thought the game was in the bag after the first half. They lost the fire and couldn’t get it back. Need 60 min of effort regardless of the score.
September 19th, 2011 at 9:53 am

Staarting to get the notion that RoMac is a headcase,
of course since he doesn’t talk to the reporters, no one has any idea what he’s thinking…
This is ‘head case’ type of move and very disturbing since he lives in a bubble and is not open to answering questions about his play…
Come on RoMac, answer for yourself!
tell us what happened out there,
tell us you stank it up…
WTF!
September 19th, 2011 at 9:53 am
The offense needs to have the mentality to go down and score everytime they get the ball because that may be what it takes.
September 19th, 2011 at 9:54 am
denarious moore is our best receiver, and has has forced his way into a more prominent role. Moore DHb Ford should see the majority of snaps as they are our most explosive pass catchers, and hagan has moved ahead of chaz the glass for that possession role.
did anyone notice that the only receiver in position to make a play on the hail mary was moore, the other receivers didnt even make it to the endzone.

i will continue to point this out as well. secondarys all over the nfl are being torched, including the eagles!!!
Even with namdi, samuals, and rodgers cromartie.
Cam newton thrwe for 400 yards (again) against the defending champs, with woodson and williams.
The saecondary wasnt the biggest problem it was the lack of tackling and missed turnover opprtunities.
We were robbed of a forced fumble and dropped to sure picks in the end zone. we should have had 4 turnovers. Refs blow calls so i wont harp on that, but we have to finish when we can make picks. Dropping picks always comes back to bite you.

*Raiders middle linebacker Rolando McClain rebounded from a game in which he went without a tackle to post a team-high 10 against the Bills. He also broke up three passes.
However, stats oftentimes are misleading, as was the case with McClain’s overall play today. He missed several tackles throughout the game and struggled in pass coverage, at times, too.
================================================
Yes, he made 10 tackles and broke up some passes.
But RoMac officially made my sh1t list yesterday.
Not because he missed some tackles.
I can understand a player having a bad game or blowing some plays.
Yeah, I’m very disappointed he hasn’t shown the ability to be an effective run stopper.
But RoMac is now officially on my sh1t list because of a lack of effort and not hustling on several plays yesterday.
Appeared to be loafing out there, running at half speed after the play had passed him by.
Was he going to catch Jackson from behind on his own ? No way. But what if Jackson was slowed by other defenders ? What if Jackson got hit and fumbled ?
Lack of 100%, total effort is completely unacceptable.
Quitting on plays can not be tolerated.
Don’t care how many positive plays he made. That was not a ‘rebound’ game, Steve.
If anything, Romac should be embarrassed by his lack of effort on several plays and disciplined by Hue and the staff.
September 19th, 2011 at 10:10 am
Sounds like its time for a closed door team meeting focusing on the defensive side of the ledger. You could se the frustration in comments made by Tommy Kelly. I don’t blame the D-Line. The spread formation with a 3 second pass release to short crossing patterns virtually eliminates the chance of a sack. About all the D-line can do in that case is get in the way – putting arms, hands, legs, whatever, in the way thereby blocking as much of the passing lanes as possible. The remaining defensive effort falls on the LB’s & DB’s. Our LB’s yesterday failed miserably. Their lack of effort was only exceeded by the DB’s, Routt excluded. He was doing his job. Bresnahan had to see that CJ was getting targeted. He should have rolled the safeties to help CJ. He didn’t. Better yet, he should have used a 5 lineman 6 DB alignment – playing tight on the WR’s. Again, Bresnahan’s scheme was not appropriate for the situation. He also should have replaced RoMac with someone else who wasn’t totally exhausted. All 3 of our LB’s were ineffective yesterday.

Jerry Mac bringing the pain on Twitter today. Some highlights:

Defense was and should be embarrassed about yesterday. They will take it out on the Jets.
===========================================
The defense has get focused and professional. This isn’t about just being embarrassed.
They have to FIX the missed tackles, the misalignment, the penalties and gap discipline…they have to FIX it technically and be prepared to execute.
This team is sabotaging its own season in classic Raider style by throwing games away like yesterday.

Better yet, he should have used a 5 lineman 6 DB alignment – playing tight on the WR’s. Again, Bresnahan’s scheme was not appropriate for the situation. He also should have replaced RoMac with someone else who wasn’t totally exhausted. All 3 of our LB’s were ineffective yesterday.
==================
Im with you but here is the problem. we couldnt stop the run in the second half. we put in boyd and essentially played with 2 line backers at times and got owned.
DVD went down and we didnt have enough quality at the db spot to stay with six dbs
the defense was called as it should have been. Chuck b cant call the play then run on the field and tackle or pick off passes.

Two major coaching decisions at the end cost us that game. First calling a timeout at the goaline instead of burning at least 30 more seconds or forcing the bills to burn one. Second all out blitz on last play without inside leverage. Wtf chuck.
September 19th, 2011 at 10:19 am
The competition at wide receiver is going to be scorching hot.
Production is going to rule the day with those receivers. When does Murphy get back?
Whew…Hagan and Moore doing their best to push for playing time…and DHB and Ford trying to get healthy.
The good news..I don’t think any receiver will survive a 1 reception for 5 yard game with the depth at this posiition right now.
sooner or later they will have to settle in on someone
September 19th, 2011 at 10:20 am

Mistic, I thought JaJason played well. Showed some fire out there.
To be entirely honest, I think DMoore bailed him out on two questionable passes, but that’s nitpicking. The first DMoore catch had too much air under it, and the second was thrown into double coverage. Both throws however, were VERY well placed, and the gamble to throw into double coverage on what should have been the game winner was a pretty good one based on the situation.
Only real bad throw I can remember from JC yesterday was his miss to Reece.
IMO, JaJason’s best game as a Raider.

First of all, it’s not meddling when you own the team. I have no doubt Al is in the loop about game plans for the O and D each week. Wouldn’t you want to know what the plan is and give your opnions? Plenty of opinions in here from people with no vested interest besides a fans pride. Does Al call plays and D in the middle of a game? I don’t think so.
September 19th, 2011 at 10:31 am
When its all said and done, here we are compassionate Raider fans, but hey guys we gotta understand something…AL DAVIS really has drove us into the ground, we could be such a better football team with a smarter “FIRST ROUND” draft… Just to name a few…Michael Huff= BUST, have you ever seen him lay a good hit, its arm tackles and blown coverages in my eyes, hes awful…Heyward-Bey, a guy that isn’t even close to Denarius Moore in terms of WR ability, what a WASTED PICK!!! THATS A TRAGEDY PEOPLE!!!! 7th pick overall, and he cant make plays, we could got a 6′7 offensive lineman for christ sake….Lastly, Rolando Mcclain…I was actually so excited that we drafted this guy, even though I really didn’t know much about him in college, I felt it was a “Hey, finally nice pick Al” but I have to be real, he is a very very slow linebacker, he might be smart, but his speed is below average I feel, doesn’t present much upperbody strength either, I am gona go with BUST, the film doesn’t lie, he gets sealed up quick….But ya anyways thats my take on this thing, Al Davis is a jerkoff people.
p.s…Did we really give Wimbley all this money offseason lol ? Thats ludicrous, no wonder the CLEVELAND BROWNS dumped him, he’s slower than crap, and has one skill only, thats taking an outside shoulder as a d-end and TRYING to rush up field, with no success…. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!!!!! WE COULD OF SIGNED SOMEONE ELSE OR 2 PLAYERS WITH THAT MONEY.

September 19th, 2011 at 10:35 am
Enough about thie DHB hagan debate.
Guess what, guys? They’re two different types of WR; Hagan a possession type, DHB an intermediate/deep route runner whom usually performs outside the hash marks.
Remember the Denver game? Trent Dilfer openly criticized using DHB on a double move route; he fully displayed his lack of ability in properly breaking down, thus doing nothing to threaten the DB.
Fast forward to the end of the game when DHB caught the one & only throw in the last 3:48 of the game. He ran a “9-stop,” which is a go route/buttonhook, a route a deep threat could run in a possession situation.
If you notice DHB doesn’t have that”suddeness” to run possession routes. He just doesn’t have that nody type. However, as hard as he purpurtedly works you’d think he’d come up with something.
This opposed to the days of yore. I used to watch Freddie B., Cliff Branch, Paul Warfield,
Charlie Joiner & (ugh! I liked him in college) Lynn Swann.
They all were able to use full speed cuts , breaking off of the outside foot for 45 degree slants or 90 degree on/out routes. I saw Brandon Lloyd display this ability on this past Monday Night.
I realize that pass routes have noew names, 9 route, seven route, wheel route, stick route, etc.
Also; with the deployment of college friendly spread formations some new routes have been developed. So, the game changes, but one constant remains; precision route runners are usually deployed to advance the down markers; deep threats are still there to stretch the field. All teams need both types; but don’t confuse a deep threat with a possession receiver; DHB would have been used differently. Until the Raiders get through their WR injuries & can properly assign roles for their contributing WR’s they will be forced to ask more of their remaining WR’s until further notice.

back for more?
Wrong. the safety was in a bracket coverage over the top. If JC leads moore up the field the safety has a chance to intercept the ball or smash moore and break it up.
Instaed JC placed in a spot where moore could make a play on the ball over the db and in front of the closing safety.
do you even watch football?
By the way It is exactly the kind of pass that brady manning brees, rodgers get credited for being great qbs. yet no love for JC. I wonder why

What about mccfaddens fumble. Chris johnsons getting burnt all the time. No sacks from are front four they got manhandled. To blame this on one person is just amature analysis imo. I seriously didnt think raider fans are this stupid. Ive been a fan for 35 yrs seen lots of players come and go. This D will play better next weekend. Dont except the offense to play against the jets like they did against bills. So im sure most people on this blog will talk all kinds of crap about the offense next weekend.

Seymour says it was lack of effort so what kind of characteristic would you call that? They aren’t gna say “we were tired” but they were evidenced by the lack of pressure and physicality displayed by the dline in the second half when compared to what they displayed vs Denver. These guys are human. The dline and defensive play vs buffalo is not indicitive of what you’ll consistently see throughout the year.

No we are just sick of you talking about players on other teams all day long in here like you are somehow connected to them, like you are a college scout that is in need of a job.
Let me tell you something Einstein…He was the 1st overall pick in the draft he is doing what is expected of him. Every NFL team and every NFL scout saw what you see and that is why he was drafted number one.
To gloat about a #1 draft pick doing well is kind of like getting all excited about a blue sky.

the first rookie to throw for back to back 400 yard games in the history of the nfl is nothing??!?!?!?! Even though one of the teams is the defending sb champs its a non story?!?!?

Do you guys think we have a conditioning problem?
=================================================
No. This game was on the schedule and they’ve traveled east before and won.
The Raiders were up 21-3.
I personally believe the Raiders once again lacked concentration and focus.
They have been known to do that and have admitted that to themselves.
Very distressing to hear about missed assignments etc.

September 19th, 2011 at 10:58 am
Missed asignments my rearend! You don’t miss asignments for an entire half! Those short plink and plunk cross patterns and slants ate us up! They scored just like Denver did the week before. It was raining hard iin Denver and we didn’t get to see the offense. We did this week and it looked great. Moore and Hagan are monsters and should get to play. DMAC was again awesome. Chuckie B better get a plan together to change what happened because now every team we face is going to expose that weakness. We do need CB help and that’s all there is to it.
Defense really needs to step up – they better get a plan and they better get ready to execute it. There is no excuse for 21 – 3 lead to be ate away like that one. None what so ever. NMiller is terrible – CJ definatly had some better games. They have no way to stop those short passes and they better get a freakin’ clue because that was just embrassing.
September 19th, 2011 at 10:58 am
and they had silenced a sellout crowd in its home opener.
The Bills fans deserve some credit in that win as well. The Raiders let them back in the game and the Bills fed off of it.
Speaking of which how’s the ticket sales looking for the Raider home opener?

Let me tell you something Einstein…He was the 1st overall pick in the draft he is doing what is expected of him. Every NFL team and every NFL scout saw what you see and that is why he was drafted number one.
=================
wrong as usual,
The panthers taking him number one was a conterversay most scouts had gabbert and others ahead of Cam. most people here said he wasnt ready and couldnt play qb at all in the nfl.
He is changing the way qb will be played and changing the perception of athletic, spread qbs.
the hate is thick in here today, you should drop it

To be entirely honest, I think DMoore bailed him out on two questionable passes, but that’s nitpicking. The first DMoore catch had too much air under it,
=================
i disagree with your take on him being bailed out, in fact i would say JC threw him open with his surgeon like ball placement.
“Wrong. the safety was in a bracket coverage over the top. If JC leads moore up the field the safety has a chance to intercept the ball or smash moore and break it up.”

It wasn’t our day guys and SD and KC lost…let’s try not to get down too much. The Jets are beatable and the lack of focus on defense should get better with each game. At least we found out two things…Moore is a playmaker…and Nick Miller will be cut as soon as Louis Murphy and/or Ford return….Let’s go raiders.
September 19th, 2011 at 11:11 am
we got the same record as the Ravens Steelers Eagles Falcons Cowboys Saints and more importantly the Chargers
September 19th, 2011 at 11:14 am
The deep passing by JC with the game in the balance was amazing. He in his normal cool style directed long drives and was money in the clutch, especially on third down. he turned retread hagan into a star, and helped denarious moore have the breakout game of the decade. imagine what JC will do when our other big weapons get back.
He is the captian of this space aged offense and the sky is the limit.
September 19th, 2011 at 11:16 am
This game along with san diego and KC last year have buried the notion that JC isnt a classic raider qb. His late game bombs are baffling defenders, and striking fear across the nfl landscape.
Impostors fans you are on notice

Technically, we are in first place in the division?

DHB has performed on the field this year, he has earned his playing time. he ford and moore are just to fast and too talented to have on the bench.
moore is number 1, It doent matter if number 2 is ford or dhb they both will see plenty of action and the offnese will be even better.

Several things to keep in mind after yesterday’s very disappointing loss.
Keep a level head. Don’t panic. Don’t overreact.
You want to learn from a loss, but not dwell on it.
Where do we stand now ?
Our position is certainly not as strong as it would have been with a W yesterday, but we’re in decent shape provided we continue to improve.
The division is wide open and ours for the taking.
The task at hand is now the NYJ. They’re good. But so are we. This is a winnable game. Raids will be about a touchdown underdog. Time to man up.
Anyone throwing in the towel based on yesterday’s loss is doing so prematurely. Shoot, Raids could lose to both the Jets and Pats, be at 1-3, and still be in the thick of things.
BEAT THE JETS !

marcel reece
he looked like a blind man groping for his walking stick. i saw at least 4 runs where marcel blocked no one and reached out to push and spin around as if he was ball room dancing.
last week he was decent this week he sucked. good call by hu jack putting in gordon to lead on the goal line, and having b campbell and barksale provide some much needed power on the right side.

MISTIC
–
No matter what the scheme is, you cant expect to play that weak a$$ nickel and stop the run, in my honest opinion we should have been loading the box with linebackers and safeties showing blitz the WHOLE GAME!! BRESNEHAN gave them those big runs my friend. And McClain continuously shot the wrong gap!!! MCCLAIN played terrible..just another growing pain? Maybe…we put to much faith into our d-line hurrassing teams..but when they dont, our secondary gets eaten alive..
Mark my words, you are going to see the Jets spread the field like buffalo did more times than not..when teams line up in singleback with 3 wrs..THEY ARE GOING TO RUN IT!!! OUR NICKEL D is not good enough to stop the run, we are in a lose lose…play base and get picked apart through the air, or play nickel and get gashed for 40yds a pop..pick one

Big game this week. Yesterday’s tough loss aside, what would it matter if we had won but go out and don’t compete and win at least one against proven, playoff-caliber competition the next two weeks?
The fact that it’s a home game and the fact that the Jets will be without the best center, by far, in the NFL are major factors to our advantage. Having a weakened center of their o-line against TK, Seymour and the rest could be a major factor in this one.
Will be a tough challenge for the offense. I fear that it’s unrealistic to expect Jason Campbell to perform anywhere near the level he did vs. the Bills with the complex, confusing style of defense Rex Ryan runs, not to mention two very talented, veteran CBs against our young WRs.
Hue is going to have to dial up some brilliant calls in this one to help us put points on the board. I think Reece needs to get involved in the passing game. A TE throwback at some point and maybe even let McFadden or Bush fire one out there.
We’re also going to have to hit them in the mouth with the running game. The Jets run D is good, but I don’t think it’s quite as impenetrable as the times when they had Kris Jenkins in there the last few seasons.
September 19th, 2011 at 11:32 am
Props to Hue for not throwing any player under the bus either in post game interview…unlike Tommy Kelly…he shouldn’t talk either…he got a huge contract awhile ago and played like crap ever since and was out of shape…”that’s what he pays you to do????”
September 19th, 2011 at 11:33 am
I know its early…. but if I had to bet… I would bet the game vs the jets is going to be a low scoring affair. … I expect the defense to rebound. … I don’t think we score 35 either…. I think Raiders win 20-13…. a much better defensive effort.. hope I’m right…

Did DHb play well in preseason? Yes he did.
Did DHB play well in the season opener? yes he did
has DHb been playing well in practice? yes he has?
Why wouldnt you put him on the field when he is producing?
Moore is number one, and ford and dhb are 2a & 2b
hagan is our possesion guy.
All of our top 3 guys need to see a ton of action hu jack and company know this
September 19th, 2011 at 11:39 am
DHB played well in the opener. Obviously not as well as Moore did yesterday, but you’ve got to base judgments on the DHB of 2011, not the DHB of 2009-2010.
I’m not necessarily saying he should start over Murphy, Ford, Hagan or Schilens, but I don’t think it’d be outlandish for him to do so. He looks vastly improved, IMO. Much more comfortable catching the ball this year. Let’s wait and see how this plays out. No way they can put Moore back on the shelf right now though.
September 19th, 2011 at 11:39 am
Guy, you’re very first post of this blog, yes, I was wtf is Mr. Boyd playing man to man on Johnson, if it was double coverage i would be okay, but down and goal made that a moot point, bad coaching there.
Although I do think the coaches learned quite a bit about themselves today, and will grow from it.
September 19th, 2011 at 11:39 am

DHB is going to play ahead of Hagan and he should……..as for Moore the kid is a budding superstar stop worrying as to whether he plays or NOT DUMBELLS that’s all he’s been doing is PLAYING.
Hagan is just a decent player when the other WR’s get healthy THEY SHOULD PLAY AHEAD OF HIM……………..period
YOU DON’T RUN THIS TEAM…………..period

How can a defense defend when moore dhb and ford are in the game. who do you double and how can you protect against draw plays and underneath routes?

This is probably the first Raiders loss that did not depress me in years: Raiders did or will grow from it.
Raiders discovered the steal of the draft; Mr. Wow is the real deal his TD catch reminded me of the Mr. Warren Wells. Mr. Moore will be even better, much better.
September 19th, 2011 at 11:43 am
Head Coach, Mr. Jackson I bet learned a lot from being out coached in the second half by Chan Gailey, Raiders can pass as well as run the football, Time zone & only six days days showed in the 2nd half.
I like the fact that Hue made note of the individual players having great games, but that this is a team, and we loss as a team, that the Raiders will win as a team.
September 19th, 2011 at 11:45 am
Chuck B is going to have to do something to counteract short passing attacks. That’s what the Bills beat us with late yesterday. Fitzpatrick simply got rid of the ball before our defenders could get to him in the 2nd half. We need to drop a d-lineman into coverage every now and then and try to pick one of those quick passes over the middle. Maybe bring an extra blitzing DB off the edge at times as well.

I hope coach Jackson does not have Denarius returning kicks, he has proven to be too valuable as a WR to risk injury, plus he still has much to learn as teams will adjust to his talents. Trust me Ryan & Belicheck have taken notice of Moore’s production.
as for current KOR/PR Mr. Miller, I know he is a great practice player, and even makes a big play in the preseason, but in the regular season, the game is simply too big for him. raiders need to cut him and either sign Tatupu (we could have really used him v. Buffalo) or activate Mr. Sterling Moore (our DBs could have used him too).

I know where you’re coming from, in a sense. It wasn’t one of the many non-competitive, incompetent losses we’ve seen. It wasn’t simply going into the prevent D too early or one thing like that. We went down, the offense answered to pull us back ahead twice in the 4th quarter and nearly did it again on the last play of the game.
Still, it’s tough to know that we were up 21-3 at the half and should have sealed that one up and now there is a very real possibility we will be looking at 1-3 start to the season.
However, I’m not conceding anything. We haven’t even had a home game yet. Next two are in Oakland against some AFC East teams who may be feeling complacent by the time they arrive.
Time to be the bully again.

OK I wll, yes not having 34mm hurt us against Buffalo’s strong TD tandem, New England has excellent TEs as well, NY not so much.
Our Raider offense is the best, even more balanced, and potentially more explosive, it has been since Mr. Gannon, Mr. Garner, Mr. Rice, and Mr. Raider, Tim Brown were on the field together.
September 19th, 2011 at 11:53 am
One thing remains true. The offense was fabolous!!
September 19th, 2011 at 11:54 am
Production and wins/losses will determine who plays at wide receiver when its all said and done.
Everyone has favorites…some love DHB and others think Hagan is the answer….
Moore is getting on the field because of his actual on-field production…JFord is afforded every opportunity because of his on-field production.
That’s what will happen this year. Those receivers dropping balls, not getting open and not getting in the end zone will be easy to spot going forward.
The Receiver group is becoming a strength.
September 19th, 2011 at 11:55 am
Yeah, Nick Miller does nothing for me as our return guy when you consider all the explosive players we have on the roster. I’d go with Taiwan Jones back there. Absolutely.
Was stunned to see Rock Cartwright in there on the Bills last kickoff? That’s a spot where you absolutely go for broke and put a guy like Jones in there.

I do think the Raiders having to play a sunday morning game at 10AM our time, on the road to the opposite corner of America (Houston was able to get a late game playing at Miami, no consiparcy yeah right), following the Late Monday Night Football game on the road against the divisional rival with the highest altitude; all in all had a great deal to do with Buffalo coming back from their 21-3 deficit, although all the DB penalties and missed interception opportunities, did not make it any easier.
Raiders know they had that game under their control though at half-time.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:02 pm
just about everybody it seems is 1-1, except the AFC East
September 19th, 2011 at 12:03 pm
How do we know the defense was “tired”?
The heavy rotation in the D-Line should have helped…and Routt played very well.
Being tired had nothing to do with not covering over the middle on that last pass…nothing to do with not catching those INTs…..
I just ask to stop the excuses.
The defense got its azz kicked and they have to regroup. Period
September 19th, 2011 at 12:03 pm
this offense will get better and better JC and Moore are just starting to get a feel for each other. They just met 8 weeks ago it takes time. That post pattern was that post pattern was thrown on time and on target Moore had to jump to take it away from a defender making a great play on the ball. The kid is a overnight sensation it’s rare to see but what he showed at Tenn you saw yesterday. He makes incredible catches look easy. They can now go to him when they need a play whenever Ford gets back and Schilens starts to come around and DHB gets back this WR corp will be scary because plays like that are contagious. You’ll see our guys step up their game to match Moore.
I just hope DVD isn’t hurt bad because he plays with 3x’s the poist CJ displayed he should be starting……….period

The deep passing by JC with the game in the balance was amazing. He in his normal cool style directed long drives and was money in the clutch, especially on third down. he turned retread hagan into a star, and helped denarious moore have the breakout game of the decade. imagine what JC will do when our other big weapons get back.
He is the captian of this space aged offense and the sky is the limit.
^^^^^^^^^6^^^^^^^^
That is why i am not that bummed about yesterday. We saw something we have not seen in 9 years
September 19th, 2011 at 12:04 pm
I’m a McClain fan, but I got to admit, that other than those 2 batted down balls, he had a horrible game. Looked slow out there and I saw him always trailing on plays and not giving 100% effort, IMO. He needs to get his schit together this weekend against the Jets.

Raiders coaches do need to change their half-time speeches though.
First two games Raiders have only allowed a single FG by both Denver & Buffalo in the first half.
The 3rd quarter, we give up huge plays, running, punt return, passing. Coaches need to undestand the opponent is not giving up and they are making adjustments.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:05 pm
DMAC,
It was a shootout…but we were spotted 18 points.
I am not being negative here…just being blunt.
Those guys on defense have to play better.
Too many games like that over the course of the last few years where the Raiders seek out and find defeat when victory is telling them exactly where to go
September 19th, 2011 at 12:05 pm
SnB you couldn’t tell that defense was GASSED?? It’s not an excuse we should’ve WON but that doesn’t mean they weren’t GASSED. I’m not saying that’s why we lost, but to say they weren’t tired and it had no affect is stupid.

Wow, the Offense does all it can, except for the Mc fumbles sighting, and people in here are still talking trash about the offense and DHB. He had a good game against Denver, just enjoy this offense for all the weapons it has!
If anything we should be putting this Defense under a microscope here.
Geesh! people complaining about the touchdowns comming too quick.

Some observations about Hue’s play calling.
Have we ever seen so many QB sneaks ? I’m all for getting a first down or touchdown the easiest way possible in short yardage situations, but feel like we might be going to the well a bit too often with all the sneaks.
Hue’s favorite play and a staple of his offense appears to be the reverse. The reverse was the closest thing we had to an ‘identity’ play last year, and Hue seems to do a nice job drawing them up. Especially liked the play incorporating Taiwan yesterday and think that might pay dividends down the line.
TD pass play to DMAC on the right flank was very similar to the one on which Reese scored in Denver.
Screen passes employed so far have been ever so slightly out of synch, but still quite effective. We will break some long gains on these.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:07 pm
Bottom line is that if we stop them once we can go into ball-control, but as it was, we could not afford not to take points off the board in the second half.

================================================
Conspiracy or not….the result is a friggin loss.
No one is going to hear those complaints.
If the Raiders know the deck is stacked against them…they could do themselves a favor and limit the penalties…
September 19th, 2011 at 12:09 pm
When you have no legs, your hand eye coordination does not coordinate as well, it is just like when an NBA player is at the free throw line late in the 4th, when you are exhausted (and remeber we had no minicamps or OTAs), you just can’t hit that 10 foot set shot.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:09 pm
What a stark contrast from last weeks game. Yesterday the Raiders front 4 failed to put “effective pressure” on Fitz. CJ looked worse than last Monday. If R. Woodson can’t correct his lack of performance and penalties, time to look at rotation. Safeties and LB’s missing too many tackles. They are on the ball but a half second too early or late. Once again, penalties are killing them, and especially the ones that extend the opponents drive on 3rd down. Chuck B. needs to pick plays that protect the middle and short passing plays. Much of the Raiders lack of coverage is greatly responsible for Chuck B’s play calling. The same goes for the run defense play calls.
Hey offense looked good. Passing was far improved, but tip the hat to the O line for allowing JC to stay in that pocket. D. Moore was outstanding! Made JC look really good and boosted his QBR. Hagan should get more play time as well. Miller is Miller. He should of been waived, and I think many of us concur. Run game was good once again, but DMC saw too many touches, while Bush, Reece, and Jones should of saw more touches for greater production and kept DMC’s legs more explosive.
In conclusion, Chuck B should accept the majority of this epic loss. Lady Luck did not shine on the Raiders on Sunday. Johnson could of redeemed himself w/ that last second INT, but it got swiped out of his hands. Branch could of had the INT to prevent the TD, but tipped it into the receivers hands. Branch had another clean INT and went right through his hands. Those are game changing plays that come maybe once or twice a game for the defense, and failed to capitalize.

so…
Jason Campbell goes 23/33 for 325 yards & 3 TD’s
McFadden, Bush & Jones rush 25 times for 99 yards (3.96 ypc) & 2 TD’s
Moore & Hagan instead of DHB, Murphy, Ford or Miller at WR gave us solid play from this unit – how long has it been?
ROMAC was a tackling machine. Routt intercepted a pass. Ryan Fitz only completed 60 % of his passes. Stevie Johnson left the game on the potential game-winning drive (injured). CJ37 looked like Deion Sanders in the last 2 minutes of the game
and we still lost!
who is to blame?
Chuck B? Hue Jackson?
September 19th, 2011 at 12:13 pm
Penalties killed us in the second half, Mr. Johnson being the biggest culprit of all. He had the interception to seal the victory, he played that pass play near perfectly, and he knows it.
He needs to b emore aggressive in catching the ball than he is man-handling the opponents WRs, and he knows it.
btw I noticed DVD hobbling again, is he simply to underweight for the NFL?
September 19th, 2011 at 12:16 pm
Chris I agree with you all the time but I think getting the players to exucute is more important then Hue drawing up great plays. We can only get away with a handfull at the most. Plus we scored enough to win.
Defense Players need to tackle and quit miffing. FIVE straight TDs in the second half. We can blame the D scheme where we play back to far when QBs start picking us apart on slants. We have to fix that
September 19th, 2011 at 12:16 pm
AFC offensive rookie of the year, Raiders’ Mr. Moore just became one of the front runners.
Raiders should have Mr. Jones returning punts and kick-offs.
This Raiders team knows what it feels like to win, knows what it feels like to lose, knows how to come from behind, knows how to run, knows how to pass and recieve.
Raiders will defeat the Jets!
September 19th, 2011 at 12:18 pm
Plunkett, it seems the Raiders D is always weak against the slant.
I think the Raiders might need to consider moving Mr. McClain to the outside and Mr. Groves to the middle.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:19 pm
Mr. Wimbley needs to show up.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:19 pm

*******************
He did something to his knee, I was sitting 5 rows away from him when they bandaged up what appeared to be a significant cut on it, and he only played 1 play after that.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:24 pm
Our team as a whole seems to be getting better but individulas have to get mentally stronger.
The real good temas in the league don’t have mental lapses as much as we do.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:29 pm
Rolando McClain had a BAD game. The second half slide, can largely be attributed to big runs right past him.
Is he hurt? Was he hung over? What is going on with this guy?
Quite frankly the winning TD pass was his man. Not only that Nelson took him to school for most of the game in the pass coverage dept.
Mr. McClain, you need to take a hard look in the mirror. You were terrible yesterday.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:41 pm
If I remember correctly McClain was a factor on that last Bills drive until the DB’s started giving up those 3rd and 4th downs again.
Watch the tape if you don’t believe me.
