Raiders sign K Rayner
By Steve Corkran
Saturday, October 22nd, 2011 at 1:45 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders signed veteran kicker Dave Rayner on Saturday afternoon, which portends Sebastian Janikowski’s hamstring injury being serious enough to preclude him from playing against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Rayner, 28, has played for six teams in his six NFL seasons. During that time, he converted 55 of his 75 field-goal attempts, including 13 of 16 last season for the Detroit Lions.
The Raiders released defensive back Ron Parker to make room for Rayner on the 53-man roster.
It’s likely that Janikowski will be healed enough to kick in Oakland’s game Nov. 6, vs. the Denver Broncos. The Raiders have a bye after the Chiefs game.

if you truly can appreciate coach davis hands down, i’ll take ya back. no more dissin him. show some class. but your stories are whack.
October 22nd, 2011 at 2:04 pm
I mean, IT works! Nice.
October 22nd, 2011 at 2:04 pm
I think they will receive a 3rd rounder for Nnamdi and a 4th for Miller. Maybe a 5th or 6th for Gallery.
********************************
Dknight,
We won’t get anything for Miller because we also signed Boss.
I doubt we get anything for Gallery either. Usually, Guards who play less than half the games the year before do not have compensatory picks attached.
We will get a 3rd for Nnamdi, but compensatory picks are after all the teams pick, so at best that pick will be #97.

Couple ideas, outside of staying in Oakland or LA long-term…
Rename team as California Raiders, split home games between Oakland and LA. Negotiate a deal with the NFL to take some away games to LA too.
Las Vegas Raiders.
October 22nd, 2011 at 2:06 pm
This could be the best team Al Davis has ever put together. Talent, speed, no head cases and great coaches. Built to go long haul. It tears me up he is not around to see it. And Al has had to battle the NFL and the refs for so long, its no wonder he didn’t have more trophies. But he’ll get one this year.
Als’ eye for talent is evident with this years team. And all his critics will be silenced once and for all.
October 22nd, 2011 at 2:07 pm
So is Lochness Campbell going to be active tomorrow, or is Tom Cable still keeeping the man down?
October 22nd, 2011 at 2:11 pm
The D will win this game, no question.
If the offense can put up 14-17, this game should go down in the W column.
October 22nd, 2011 at 2:14 pm
Raiders are hurt at key positions (QB, LB) and playing a division foe. If ever there was a game to just win, baby, this is it.
October 22nd, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Correction: Raiders are hurt at key positions (QB, LB, K) and playing a division foe. If ever there was a game to just win, baby, this is it.
October 22nd, 2011 at 2:22 pm
This is my scenario. Boller starts. It’s a close game, low scoring but in the 4th quarter we are trailing. Hue sends in Palmer on the final drive. Palmer connects with DHB, then with Moore and finally to Boss.
TOUCHDOWN RAIDERS. And we win. The end.

Would it be the end of the world to see Pryor out there running an option or wishbone style wildcat for a couple of plays? Probably not. But if one of the backs had to heave the rock, I would probably want to see DMAC or Bush toss the rock before I would want to see Pryor throw it at this stage.
October 22nd, 2011 at 2:42 pm
Apart from people like Priest, myself, and others who are big on Pryor, he won’t get love from the rest of you till he plays a few snaps and shows off his passing skills.
October 22nd, 2011 at 2:45 pm
Btw, Hue is a most creative fun HC to have. I hope one day he also installs some Double Wing packages with 0 line splits. See example below…

How much money will Rayner make? I mean he probably gets cut after the bye so logically his contract is fully guaranteed on league minimum?
October 22nd, 2011 at 2:47 pm
What’s up Nation? Going to the game with an open mind (until the first few beers and shots kick in)…I hope the replacement players play well! You may say that we may not need this win, but against a division foe…yes we do! LET’S GO RAIDERS!!!
October 22nd, 2011 at 2:47 pm
Interesting that there is 3 West Coast teams going to the East Coast and playing in the 10am PST slot tomorrow (Donkeys-Dolphins, Dolts-Jets, Seabags-Browns).
Since the Raiders left Buffalo with a loss, West Coast teams are 3-0 since in those situations.
I wouldn’t be suprised if they went 2-1 or even 3-0 again tomorrow.
October 22nd, 2011 at 2:48 pm
I would love to see Pryor develope into a great QB. But CP is going to run the show for the next few years, I hope. CP can throw the rock as good as anybody in the NFL.
October 22nd, 2011 at 2:50 pm
It’s not that I don’t believe Pryor can be a very good Q. He can. He is just not ready right now, and it takes a bit to get up to NFL game speed. Especially for college kids fresh out. The point is do we have to get Pryor ready in a hurry? Not a chance. So he can sit back, work on his techniques, and sit with good veteran Q’s and learn how to read a scouting report and dissect tendencies on film.

==============================================
Unless his contract stipulates differently, he’ll get the league minimum which will be prorated for the length of his tenure. In other words, if he plays one week, he will get roughly 20G’s. Not a bad afternoon’s work. Let’s hope he doesn’t f*** it up.
October 22nd, 2011 at 3:03 pm

Interesting that two weeks in a row Raiders facing team coming off a bye. Raiders also only team to have to make back to back trips back east. Week 13 & 14 in Maimi and Green Bay.
October 22nd, 2011 at 3:03 pm
Terrell Pryor and Carson Palmer’s contracts both expire in 2014.
Will be interesting to see how that shakes out.

I didn’t mean what I said to be confrontational at you, btw. I just think people in general underplay Pryor’s passing ability firstly, and his understanding of the pro-style, secondly. In Ohio he ran it all – spread, option, shotgun, pro-style. And his raw passing is very good. Naturally, he has to acclimate to the NFL, and all the nuances of new mechanics, timed drops and quick releases, reading coverages, the verbiage. He’s a QB, and has far better passing ability than Dmac/Bush. I’d even go so far as to say that, apart from command of the playbook like Boller has, that he’s a better passer than Boller. If we give him a few packages, simplified with few checks, he’ll look very promising, can work his way up in our esteem with more time.
The thing is, Hue is very creative and fun, he doesnt die wondering, he looks to use all his toys, so it’ll be exciting to see Pryor as soon as tomorrow.

Dakota.
What the hell?.
You are one of the guys who made this blog.
I remember when you started here, you used to be much more negative and disrepectful of Al Davis, but even back then I enjoyed your stuff because it was always genuine, as opposed to MR.
I’m 35 too, I learned most of what I know from the Raiders from countless hours of watching videos of those legendary teams of the 70’s and early 80’s and reading as much as I could about Al Davis.
I learned to respect Al because he was his own man and never took crap from anybody, his attitude really helped shape my life and that’s why I love the Raiders so much and my guess is that many people feel the same way, to this day, I don’t take crap from anybody and it seeems to me neither do you.
Yeah, we sucked for a long time but you said it yourself, we would have done the same thing Al did, we would not have let go, I read yesterday that you have come to terms with that and my guess is that your anger eased up a bit.
And all the comments made after Al passed, who cares?…the guy lived a great life, I’m sure he left with no regrets, that’s why I’ve always said he embodied the “My Way” lyrics Sinatra’s song.
Anyways, back to you.
You started the McFadden wagon when most of us were affraid to grab the guy because of his position and health concerns, it took me until the combine to convince myself the kid had “it”, there was something about him that day that made him look like a star among a bunch of hopefuls.
Yeah you post a lot of stuff on other topics but people can just skip them if they’re not interested, I read most of them because I enjoy your sense of humor and I don’t really care if I share your views or not.
I think you need to act more like Al on this one, just keep doing your stuff and don’t take crap from anybody.
Put me down as a Dakota fan.

How much shorter of a flight is it to Tennesse than Miami on a charter?
2 hours maybe?
October 22nd, 2011 at 3:09 pm
Even if Terrelle Pryor threw for 400-yards, like Kim Newton’s been doing….I’d rather have a better team, and the Raiders record. We’re all better off if we don’t have to rely on TPryor for awhile…experience counts right now.

Colorado is not the same time zone as the west coast.
Not only that, but they lost both of those games on the road.
October 22nd, 2011 at 3:12 pm
I was wondering why we don’t get to the east coast on thursdays so we can have a couple of days to adjust, maybe player don’t wanna leave home but come one man, it’s their job to do all they can to win games.

If any of our QBs threw for 400 yards, I’d say we would be winning and have a better team/record.

I’d be all for throwin’ him out there for a few gadget plays now and then. But only when we’ve got the game under control, and we’re not needing a miracle to win it. Keeps him in the game, and we get to see what he’s got.

Yes, you are right.
Intersting though, that East Coast teams have a worse record coming to the West Coast, than West Coast teams have going to the East Coast this season.

Generally, Bowe lines up on the same side of the field as Stanford Routt. But with Routt being given the Nnamdi Asomugha Treatment thus far (teams are tending to shy away from him), we have a sneaky suspicion the Chiefs might move Bowe around to test out the rookie Van Dyke. Especially since Bowe enjoys a 41-pound weight advantage. “He’s a big guy, man, physical guy,” Van Dyke said. “He’s from Miami, same place I’m from, so I know he’s a great player. I got to step up to the plate. He’s a great receiver; I’m a great cornerback.”
That’s the winner mentality. I like this kid.
October 22nd, 2011 at 3:17 pm
The only thing that concerns me about Pryor is his deep ball.
He throws some serious wobblers sometimes, and more muscles it than throws it.
But if it is fixable, Hue and Saunders will fix it.

BHP isn’t wrong about DVD. He’s gonna be real good. He and Chimdi are gonna make us proud. Classic Al Davis picks…who will improve as DHB has improved. I think they’re both improving quicker, too…certainly under the gun a lot for rookies, and they’ve handled it well for the most part.
Rookies and no-names have played large parts in the 4-2 record. Imagine what happens if the game slows down for them (even just one of them) a lot more in their rookie year? If the rookies play like good vets, the Raiders will be tough(er) to beat.
This weekend we show how tough…we need to take this game hard and early…show how good the team is.

==============================================
I didn’t take it confrontationaly at all. I think a lot of people put a lot of emphasis on the college game with respects to how players are going to look as pro’s, and I always say the difference between college football and pro football is like college football and slow pitch softball. They are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT games.
In other words, even tho Pryor can run different offenses and make throws at a collegiate level it really means nothing at this level, and why the combine is SO important just to see a prospects raw athletic abilities in black and white numbers.
Bottom line is with most players you won’t even know if they can play at this level for at least 2-3 years because of the adjustments. It’s the classic “sophomore slump” in baseball terms. Players don’t necessarily slump it’s just that the league starts to figure them out. And then they have to readjust their games. Look at Cam Newton right now. He is playing very well, and most of that is Cam, and some of that is there is not a lot of tape on what Cam can and can’t do. I will guarantee tho, this off season there will be a bunch of highly paid guys over in the NFC South figuring out what tendencies Newton has and how to stop him. Of course the league knows all the tendencies of guys like Brady and Peyton, and they still haven’t figured out how to stop them.

If the Raiders add a California rocker to their patch it’ll probably start a turf war with 9er’s and Bolts.
Just sayin…
The Mayor of Las Vegas has been trying to get a pro sports franchise here for years.
The problem is that Vegas is a relatively small city. pop. less than 1 million. You would have to count on out of towners to fill seats and I’m not sure if that’s realistic. The only stadium suitable is Sam Boyd and that’s no better than what we already have in Oakland.

Honestly Bob I think it is just a statistical abnormality over the last few years. If it was SUCH an advantage, gamblers would have figured this out decades ago. This has to be some type of weird statistical run. Of course you can use statistics to prove practically anything. 63% of American know that.
October 22nd, 2011 at 3:34 pm
Defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan had this to say about linking the Raiders’ blitzing frequency to the absence of owner Al Davis:
“Some of the comments about with the passing of coach Davis that now we’re free to do more things and all that, that’s not really the case. If you go back to when I was here before, we mixed the zone pressures, the man pressures, the zone coverage, the man coverage, and it gives you an opportunity to create turnovers because you don’t always have to cover people playing with their back to the ball.”
- Chuck is right, but the talent on this defense is better than during his first stint, that’s why it seems to work better.
Back then we had a much more experienced team but they weren’t close to this unit in terms of size-speed and he didn’t have pass-rushing studs like Seymour and Kelly and Houston inside (on passing downs) and Wimbley, Moss and Scott outside, Shaughnessy will be missed but Bryant is taking off.
Also, I don’t know if Bresnahan teached these guys how to blitz or if Rob Ryan didn’t have the personnel to do it properly, I remember when we used to blitz under Ryan and to a lesser degree with Marshall, it seemed like guys would just run into the back of a teammate who was being blocked.
Rob Ryan is having success now but Wade Phillips had them well trained in the 3-4 blitzing style Rob is using and it’s DeMarcus Ware who makes things happen for them, I give credit Rob credit for moving Ware around on almost every play (it seems) to take advantage of the matchups, it makes it easier for everyone else.

For what it’s worth…
Lance Kiffen was on the local sports talk radio, this week.
When the question about his thoughts on Al Davis, after his passing. I thought he answered in a very respectful way..
Very thankful for the opportunity that Al gave him. He admired Al’s shear will to win. Also added that if everyone had Al’s work ethic, the world would be a better place..
Finally, Lance admitted that it was HIS own fault, that things didn’t work out in Oakland…
I still think Lance is a major D-bag. But, it was kinda refreshing to hear him be repectful about Al, and acknowledge that he was the one that effed things up here…

Well, 909, I was surprised that Lane Kiffin was asked for a quote on the very day Al died. i couldn’t believe it! That would be like asking Mike Shanahan for a quote……………………………….huh? didn’t get that at all. He needs to just shut up about Al and continue to seek his lawsuit.

speaking of gangsta, that was hiliarious last week or the week before when someone excitedly posted that they were getting out of jail in time to see the game.
October 22nd, 2011 at 3:42 pm
SeymourBush…
I agree with you completely about the step up. 2-3 years for proper assessment. Just on Newton. Pretty much everyone expected him to fail. Reason he hasn’t, is actually due to the lockout. Coaches had only two weeks to get ready, and many of them simplified everything to allow their rookies (on both sides of the ball) to be able to contribute right away, and it’s helped greatly in seeing guys like Newton and Dalton looking good. It’s what Cowher did with Roethlisberger as a rookie, which has become the blueprint for bringing up rookie QBs. If Newton had a full training camp and coaches tried to cram all the complexities into him like coaches love to do (over-complicate the X&Os), he probably would have been far slower in starting and looked worse trying to process so much information rather than just going out there and winging it.
Looking forward to Hue doing the same kind of thing with Pryor. Just give him a few simplified packages, and get him out there as a toy to use here and there. Until one day he might be ready to be a franchise QB.
October 22nd, 2011 at 3:45 pm
Good post GG. McFadden said that the lockout was instrumental in him getting healthy and i’ve heard other people say that too. maybe the NFL should take that into consideration next year………….
October 22nd, 2011 at 3:45 pm
Lane Kiffin has some Al Davis in him, that’s why it was never going to work out, young Al did some pretty nasty stuff too, that’s why he made a lot of enemies, Al was just smarter than Lane is.
October 22nd, 2011 at 3:47 pm

October 22nd, 2011 at 3:48 pm
do we rule out Janikowski for sunday? No, but he shouldn’t do anything to aggravate his injury. I see Rayner being a safety net if Jano decides he can’t go. I believe it’s his decision.

Tooz..
I live in SO-CAL. The radio station I listsen to talks to Lance every Tue, or Wed. About USC crap. SC had a bye on the week Mr. Davis passed. This week was the first time he was on since..
Like I said, I still think Lance is a tool. But I respected his reponse to the question..
BTW, “The Tooz” is on the short list, of my all time favorite Raiders!…
October 22nd, 2011 at 3:53 pm
John Fox had an acrimonious parting from the Raiders, like Shanahan, but Fox had the class to pay his respects and still appreciate/realize how great Davis was to pro-football. Lane Kiffin’s original tribute was mixed with still some snipes or comments about his bad time there, whilst also paying respect to Al. But as time’s gone on, Kiffin has mellowed more and shown more humility. Gruden naturally also showed humility and respect. Did Art Shell say anything? Don’t think I’ve seen one. Sapp said good things of Al, tho deep down he also has criticisms of Al. But publicly on NFLN he showed deference.
October 22nd, 2011 at 3:54 pm
Matuzak was an absolute beast
October 22nd, 2011 at 3:54 pm
Sapp is an a$$hole
October 22nd, 2011 at 3:55 pm
I’m usually nervous about any upcoming game, conditioned by past experience. I feel an unusual serenity about KC.
Yes, we could lose this game but it will not define our season. The Raiders are finally on the right track. We have enough pieces to put together an impressive run for the division. Stay healthy and keep on improving and good things will happen.
October 22nd, 2011 at 3:56 pm
Obviously there was no dissention with my last two opinions.
October 22nd, 2011 at 3:56 pm
and we all know Shanarat had NOTHING to say also! If that story is true about telling Grbac to aim for Al’s head, the F him!
October 22nd, 2011 at 4:00 pm
Yeah, Shanahan has not said anything. No class. Wondering about Shell tho. Has he said anything? Because they did share many great close times, before the final time. Also, Marcus Allen more than once honored Al and paid his respects.
October 22nd, 2011 at 4:04 pm
we are really low on kb’s right now. with parker and porter being released, we only have 4 on the roster and cj isn’t healthy. huff plays it too but interesting that we’re carrying 4 qb’s, 6 wr’s, 4 te’s, 6 rb’s, 5 s’s, and only 5 lb’s, 3 de’s, and 4 cb’s.

October 22nd, 2011 at 4:11 pm
Our roster is skewed toward offense. There are a number of players that have potential but are not ready to really contribute. Pryor, Ausberry and B. Campbell come to mind.
The bye week is coming at the right time to get our defense healthy but we are still a little thin on that side of the ball.

The Defense needs to carry the day tomorrow, shut down KC and Boller should be able to score enough points to win with the running game, screens, quick slants, a couple of reverses and/or trick plays.
Just get the ball to the playmakers as soon as possible, the less Boller has the ball in his hands the better we will be.
Jano will be missed, he’s probably the only kicker who can be considered a difference maker.

Interesting that there is 3 West Coast teams going to the East Coast and playing in the 10am PST slot tomorrow (Donkeys-Dolphins, Dolts-Jets, Seabags-Browns).
Since the Raiders left Buffalo with a loss, West Coast teams are 3-0 since in those situations.
I wouldn’t be suprised if they went 2-1 or even 3-0 again tomorrow.
^^^^^^^^^
I think both the Dis-Chargers and Donkeys lose tomorrow!!

October 22nd, 2011 at 4:22 pm
I think Boller will be able to make the throws necessary to succeed tomorrow.
His timing was off when he came in for JC in the 2nd half last game.
After a full week of practice with the 1st team, I think he will be alright. I want to see some more roll outs from and them moving the pocket to buy him some more time. I also want to see the excellent execution return of our lethal screen game!
We just need the right set up and get blockers in front of DMC, Bush and Jones and let them do the rest of the damage!!
We need to see alot of motion from the WR’s, TE’s and RB’s tomorrow to keep the Queef D off balance and keep them guessing!
October 22nd, 2011 at 4:22 pm
Too bad the Jets are on a short week and Rex Ryan had to open his mouth and diss Norv, SD should be ready to play tomorrow but maybe the Jets back up Ryan’s words for a change.

October 22nd, 2011 at 4:28 pm
Hey guys, want to get historical, read badasses, all you need to know about the raiders and how anti-establishment they were. One of my favorite raiders of all time was the mad stork, if i have to tell you who that is, then you are not a raider fan.
October 22nd, 2011 at 4:29 pm
The Jets are do to win a big game this year and they are at home. Dis-Chargers without V Jack, but Gates is back.
I would like to see the Jets hurt Cry Me a Rivers tomorrow also!
October 22nd, 2011 at 4:29 pm
Well the strength of the Discharge is their passing attack and 3rd down conversions, which falls right into the Jets good passing defenses hands. BTW, The discharge have played Minn, KC, Mia, Den. Those four teams have a combine FOUR WINS. TOTAL.
October 22nd, 2011 at 4:32 pm
Gates is beginning to leak oil. Badly.
October 22nd, 2011 at 4:32 pm
The DisChargers had a cake schedule to start the season, except the Pats.
The Jets will WIN tomorrow, but the Raiders need to man up and sack it up and get the win versus the Queefs. The Queefs will come to play tomorrow.
The Raiders defense, RB’s and O-Line need to show up and play well tomorrow and do not lay and egg!!
Boller or Carson need to not make big mistakes either!
October 22nd, 2011 at 4:38 pm

October 22nd, 2011 at 4:47 pm
Boller needs to feed the ball to McFadden and Bush then TE Kevin Boss…
The Defense needs to keep pressuring Cassell…Cassell can’t hit Bowe if he’s on his butt…

About Art Shell not having been heard from since Al’s death: the Trib ran pics of Al’s funeral. One of those pics showed a man’s back and I believe that man was Art Shell.
October 22nd, 2011 at 4:49 pm
Yes, Kevin Boss a HUGE target. He runs over guys after he catches the ball. You don’t see HIM flinching about catching the ball. Reminds me of Dave Casper. Keep blitzing Cassell! He was tutored by pretty boy Brady. Doesn’t like to get dirty.
October 22nd, 2011 at 4:50 pm

Kansas Shi**y is getting NO push from their Dline. This should be a situation where we CAN pass the rock on them. Even with Boller. Getting no push, means our WR’s are going to be able to find seams or just run by their corners, especially with No Eric Berry patrolling back there.

We should be fine tomorrow,although it is a division game.Boller is pretty much the same guy as Campbell.Neither is what one would call a great QB.Boller should be able to manage the game like Campbell was asked to do and might even hit on some of the long balls Campbell was incapable of.Boller’s main problem is at times he tries to make throws into too tight of coverage and takes unnecessary chances.Eliminate those mistakes and he’ll be fine.

10/15 258 yards 2 TDs, 4 Atts 58 yards 1 TD, 1 Rec 33 yards, 1 TD.
I.e., Boller gets injured or plays so bad, Pryor plays more and surprises everyone, including me.

Why are ppl so enamored with the Wildcat? Its not even productive anymore in this league. Its a gimmick offense that got snuffed out in no time. It was a 1.5yrs are so fad. In another 20yrs it’ll come back around as some great innovation, but its not. Rinse and repeat.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:34 pm
Links to reports of Pryor starting please?
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:35 pm
Yeah, i think when the wildcat formation comes out, it’s no surprise anymore what the play is gonna be. hasn’t been successful this year in games i’ve seen.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:35 pm
Pryor getting snaps doesn’t mean wildcat anyway. Pryor is an established QB with experience in various styles (pro, shotgun, option, spread).
Package of plays will just mean a package of plays. Grasped and comfortable with hypothetically 10 plays, that he did reps in during the week.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:36 pm
lol. I can’t believe this. Al really is dictating from the grave. And we’re going to lose our next 4 games, just as we would if Al were alive. Pryor, wildcat…tell me this is a nightmare.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:36 pm
Yep Sullivan, those mistakes have cost notre lame the game. what was up with that lateral pass? they had em’ where they wanted em’ and gave it up.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:38 pm
Yea baby… al lives! ! Go fcuck a duck Sullivan44!! … go Pryor! !
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:38 pm
true, GG, it would be a mistake to put pryor in just for wildcat plays.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:39 pm
Yea. . Go Trojans.. fk Notre dame! ! Lol
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:39 pm
TheToozFan, yeah, i dunno where people assume pryor = wildcat.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:41 pm
You guys want pryor to play not because he’s the best qb, but because it’s what Al would have wanted. Idiots.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:41 pm
The pft report doesn’t reall say much. I could have said that too. It’s just obvious speculation.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:42 pm
Pryor = Cam Newton Jr.? Guy just needs some good coaching, he can run – but needs a lot of practice. sometimes looked incompetent with buckeyes.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:43 pm
Don’t get your panties in a knot sully..
Its only talk!! Your so gullible dude..lol
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:48 pm
Wildcat? Not so much. It surprised some teams a couple of years ago because they hadn’t seen it before, but I would submit that it was a desperation move by teams like the Dolphins because they struggled moving the ball.
The problems with it now?
1. Nobody’s surprised by it any more, especially because of the look the defense gets before the play is run. No NFL team in its right mind is going to run it with their starting QB taking the snap, and if he’s not there to take it everybody knows what’s coming.
2. It’s easy to defend, because the guy getting the snap usually can’t throw worth a damn and it’s either him or one other option getting the ball. In effect, once the defense sees the formation the front 7 can just play the run and the secondary is alert for a pass.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:48 pm
Hey…………not to change the subject but anybody seen the documentary “Fat, Sick and Ready to Die? A really inspirational film about losing weight by juicing vegetables. Even if you’re not fat, sick or ready to die it’s a great movie. my 16 year old son happened to come into the room when we started watching it and he – as were we – was totally hooked after 5 minutes.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:49 pm
Gullible? Its on google news, a ton of articles. He’s playing tomorrow. I can’t believe this. This is John Herrera using his inherited status to bully his way back to relevancy. He probably threatened to fire Hue. He probably told Hue to play Pryor just because he said so. There is no way that the same guy who trades 2 draft picks for Carson Palmer decided to give Pryor some play time, in a real game, just 2 days later.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:50 pm
The Raiders will always suck as long as any of Davis’s inner circle are still making football decisions. If pryor plays tomorrow, we will lose. Thanks, Herrera. Now die like Al.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:52 pm
Kiffin won!!!
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:53 pm

October 22nd, 2011 at 7:55 pm
ha-ha Sullivan – don’t think pryor is starting tomorrow.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:59 pm
Knowing Sullivan’s luck, Pryor will play well and make Sullivan look like a sullivan again. But I bet we won’t hear him say afterwards, “i admit, i was wrong, Jackson is coaching this team, not Herrera, and he knows what he’s doing.”
October 22nd, 2011 at 8:01 pm
I’m sure it was Herrera who made the Palmer trade, who phoned the sideline instructing Jackson to go for it on 4th and goal instead of kick the FG, who signed Rayner, Ndukwe, etc etc. *roll eyes*
October 22nd, 2011 at 8:02 pm
Tooz.. the moronic troll you’re addressing is willing to say anything, especially to denigrate Al Davis, in order to get a response from actual Raider fans. If he dosen’t get a rise, then he’ll dial up one of the MR Sockpuppet Army disguises he likes to wear to either agree or seem to argue with himself. It would be amusing if he wasn’t so transparent and pathetic. Its best to ignore him.

C’mon Sulli, you on meds? Or off them? We both know Pryor won’t see the field as a QB. I know there is a happy person deep down inside you. Next time I’m up there let’s get together and hash this out over some whiskey on the rocks. I know your game. It’s ok to be somewhat positive this year, right? You can’t keep building up walls your whole life.
October 22nd, 2011 at 8:08 pm
Looks like it is gonna be warm on the field tomorrow. Raider D better not be standing
around with their hands on their hips sucking air. Offense needs to sustain drives,
no 3 and outs. Defense get off on 3rd down. Just Win!!
October 22nd, 2011 at 8:08 pm
Sullivan,
You have no idea what you’re talking about.
Just four days ago BSPN was reporting that Carson Palmer was going to start on Sunday. 48 hours later, it’s Boller. Now there’s speculation that Pryor might play as well. Which leads to speculation about a Wildcat package. And on and on. Thing is, until we see it, it’s only just that.
Pryor may indeed play on Sunday, but it will be Hue Jackson’s decision if he does, not John Herrera’s or Amy Trask’s. Hue “lives on the edge”, by his own admission, and nothing surprises me about him any more.
It wouldn’t surprise me if he gives Pryor a few plays, but to suggest that John Herrera is telling him to is just ridiculous.

Sparty and the Badgers in a classic.
Wisconsin up by 14 in the first half, State comes back to lead by 9 at the half.
Back and forth, with State leading most of the second half. Wisconsin scores with under 2:00 to tie it at 31, with two great plays by Russell Wilson to get them there.
Great game.

I would like to see Pryor in on some wildcat, slot receiver motion plays, and goal line packages or short yardage to just give KC different looks and confuse them and keep them off balance!
I can also see some kind of trick pitch to Pryor and him throwing for a TD to Boss, Myers or Hagan for a TD or something.
Coach Huey will have something up his sleeve and so will Saunders!!

October 22nd, 2011 at 8:45 pm
Never understood why teams look so awkward trying to defend a hail mary at the end of games.
The Wisconsin guy jumped and came down before the ball came, as if he never once got a rebound in basketball before.
Other guys trailing the play, lolly-gagging around.
Why is it so hard to execute?
Box out, jump, push the ball down.

Of all the guys they got to ring the shield, they trotted it Anthony Dorsett?

That guy sucked in a major way!!!
October 22nd, 2011 at 8:47 pm
JFB,
Herbstriet said before the play that he thought Wisconsin would put Toon in to defend the hail mary.
Turns out the guy they put in instead (who’s about 6 inches shorter) was the guy that mistimed his jump and gave Sparty the chance.

Chris Walken or Nic Cage as Al Davis would work.
The thing is Cage can play the younger version of Al and the older version with makeup.
Walken can’t play the younger version anymore. He is like in his 60’s.

ok guys–here’s what i believe is going on tomorrow at qb:
if u have paid attention, they report that all 3 guys have gotten #1 snaps. not surprising that boller and carson would, but pryor is the surprise.
also, palmer was saying he worries he might get winded in the game at this point.
so, palmer will start w/ a limited playbook. pryor will spell him a couple of series per half. boller is sitting by, just in case palmer says he needs additional rest.

pryor will have some specific plays to run. may be some bootleg stuff but i doubt pure wildcat. i think we’ll see some rollouts, qb draws, deep throws, maybe some trickery w/ an option pass back to the qb, like they tried w/ jc and dmc.
October 22nd, 2011 at 9:54 pm
Who would play Rozelle and Tagliabue?
Rozelle was the villain who tried to stop Al from doing what he wanted with moving the team and he lost in court to Al.

October 22nd, 2011 at 9:56 pm
they’ll have to do the film in two parts…
1) the glory days of the raiders, when all the main characters are young.
2) the last days of al, like de niro in raging bull in the prison, just al reflecting and talking to an unseen interviewer.
For part 2, christopher walken as al would only need to play a smaller role.
For part 1, some of you guys already touched on some good names. Seth Rogan as Madden, I’d suggest Taylor Lautner as a young Plunkett (lou diamond as older plunkett), and etc with the other cast names already mentioned. Maybe Ryan Gosling could play a young Shanahan too.

Not bad… not bad at all..
October 22nd, 2011 at 9:57 pm
the kid who played screech on saved by the bell could play sullivan.
October 22nd, 2011 at 9:59 pm
Banjo player from Deliverance= MR/Sullivan
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:00 pm
Fat Bastard could be Rob Ryan
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:00 pm
322…. Lmao…

323.. LOL. …
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:02 pm
Later.. for real..
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:03 pm
Dude – Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Madden is brilliant! For Al Davis, Christopher Walken good idea but i also think Sean Penn could be a contender
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:04 pm
Sean Penn could play gruden..better
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:04 pm
actually, maybe sullivan is that kid who plays fred, the youtube sensation.

October 22nd, 2011 at 10:04 pm
Ugly Betty can play Bill Callahan
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:06 pm
how about johnny depp as al davis?
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:07 pm
Rosie Odonell can play Shanahan
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:07 pm
I don’t want to see DVD on Bowe tomorrow most of the time, but I know moron Chuck B will do that. Ugh
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:10 pm
Penn would be a great choice as Al, him and Cage would work.
How about Walken or DeNiro as Tom Flores
Goodman as Madden!
Who will play Chucky and Gannon and Timmy Brown?
Howie can play himself and so can Millen! haha
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:10 pm
Wow!! Think about all the coaches that came thru with the Raiders. .. who just never worked out…. shanarat. … bugle. .. norv Turner… art shell2…. kiffin. . Cable….. I hope hue works out… I hope he’s still here til 2020.. it would probably mean we have Superbowl or two…
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:10 pm
how come every time i think of dvd, i think his name is dick van dyke?
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:11 pm
Penn would be a great Gruden as well without a doubt!
How about Christian Bale as Rich Gannon?

^^^^^^^^^
I think Huey is going to be around for awhile. Especially now that Al is not around. The franchise needs stability and it looks like Huey has what it takes to take this team to the next level. We just need a better DC!
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:14 pm
Ghostraider, how did u do today bro ? I won $250 and almost made $450 more and you were right on about stanford and USC but north Carolina got their A$$ whooped. Any suggestions for tomorrow?
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:15 pm
Dennis Thurman CB coach with the jets is the Guy That Al and hue were looking at to take over as dcoordinator… but That fat slob..Rex Ryan. .. didn’t give permission for al to interview him..
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:17 pm
I think DVD is the next great corner in line to put up Silver and Black uni’s , He just need to bulk up a little so he won’t get run over by bigger receivers or running backs while tackling .
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:18 pm
Look for Dennis Thurman to be looked at next year again by Huey IMO.
Then Chuck B will be a LB assistant or something.
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:18 pm
McFadden 20… I’m sorry about that north Carolina pick bro.. but it was close at halftime. … I’m happy you made out man.. nice going… I lost $100 with that n Carolina. .Clemson game… I think ill do better tomorrow. .
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:18 pm
I like Chekwa more than DVD, at least right now.
Wait until both get bigger and stronger.
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:19 pm
Man Al had an eye for cornerbacks, our top cornerbacks can cover top 5 NFL wide recievers all day long.
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:21 pm
I like the Ravens and Packers in a teaser, but a BIG bet!
I kinda like the under in the Miami game and Jet game also. Maybe a teaser on that as well.
Make a small bet on money Queefs and hope the Raiders pull it out. Who cares if we lose the money if Raiders win, but at least we get compensated if Queefs pull it out.
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:21 pm
Our best 5 cornerbacks ever ^^^
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:21 pm

Yea mf20.. I heard today… last year the team that left for Europe early.. I think it was the 49 Were… won the game… I think it was Miami they beat left late. ..but Wow knows bro..
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:27 pm
Hahaha DKnight is funny but I never pick against my teams for some reason .., I always think they gonna win every week .. Btw I’m picking Raiders tomorrow against the spread and I don’t care even if it’s -10 Lol
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:29 pm
I think Miami is the lock of the day tomorrow , their really desperate to win and they have to get their 1st win sometime this season , it will happen tomorrow against princess tebow
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:31 pm
anybody in here bet on hockey , baseball, etc?
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:32 pm
I knew the cards were gonna win tonight **
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:34 pm
Yea.. I like Miami too.. but how stupid is it to hear Miami is acknowledging Tim tebow… what for?? Whata embarrassment..he played at Florida. .. not at the U..
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:36 pm
I hope I’m wrong.. but I don’t see the jets beating San Diego.. chargers are 2 point favs. ..jets suck man..
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:36 pm

October 22nd, 2011 at 10:38 pm
Mcfadden20 wsup bro. Good to hear you came up. I hit on that Stanford game for a measley 50 but I’ll take it. I was tempted to take Michigan St. the whole day but couldn’t pull the trigger. Taking Seattle and Tampa tomorrow
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:39 pm
Yes man thats kinda stupid and Straight up FU to Hurricane fans, I think they just lost lot of fans , and they already had hard time selling out

No fukkking way I will! SOMETIMES you say?!! ALWAYS you mean, for the last 7 years he hasnt been right on ONE thing.. All he says; “I know this on good record” or “I been talking to raider staff” and every single time its wrong! He is so gullible if the Raider pundits told him this globe we are living on was a pyramid, he would believe it and preach the word..
I have more respect for a 14yo oakland fan, that never been to a game than him.. He never shown any respect, and always thump people in the head with; “hey man I was there in the 60’s” so freaking what??? if every estimate he makes is in the ballpark?
No way Im ever going to show respect to BHP, he has never shown it himself!
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:44 pm
Yea… I’m thinking that the lions Cinderella season is starting to crash man… javed best probably out for season with concussion. … teams starting to realize they don’t have much of a running game… Atlanta could surprise them tomorrow. ..Ronnie brown should help the lions… but who knows how much..
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:45 pm
Sup Raider510. Good to know u won, even though small amount but it’s better than nothing , to be honest with you I been losing lately came really close to winning but finally it worked out , and I don’t do straight , I’m a parlay guy , always between 3-10 teams but not with too much amount to risk , always between 5 to 20 $ lol
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:48 pm
I don’t think atlanta going to upset Lions even though they have a Better O than the Niners but their D is really horrible man , Calvin Johnson is too much For any good cornerback and I don’t think they even have an average cb
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:49 pm
Mcf 20… I remember when I went thru a.losing streak bro on parlays…. 2/3.. 3/4… 2/3… 4/5….. until I finally hit 4/4…. damn..
LOL… I won $400… but it could be frustrating. ..
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:50 pm
Atlanta is really good at home I think their record is something like 28-3 at home with Ryan but pretty average on the road
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:53 pm
Man I been having those kinda streaks lately 6/7 8/10 4/5 6/7 3/4 lol but it’s pretty rewarding when u do hit em
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:55 pm
Jets need to win a big game sometime. Might as well be versus the Dis Chargers.
They need to hurt Rivers!!
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:55 pm
But I hit my last one 5/5 -1 cal, -11 vandy -4 Penn st +8 miss st +9 USC. 10$ for 250, I was gonna pick stanford too but I passed lol
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:56 pm
Came close in the other parlay like 6/7 or 7/8 I think 5$ for 475
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:58 pm
I also think Jets will win tomorrow , I think they want it more than the Dischargers
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:02 pm
I really hope you guys are right!! But teams that come off monday night games have not been faring well lately… Jets were lucky they played the horrible miami dolphins.. or they would have lost!!
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:02 pm
I think Arizona upsets Sh!tsburgh tomorrow.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:02 pm
If raiders win… dischargers lose… that puts us in 1st place…. sweet!!
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:03 pm
yea.. pit looks like crap.. it looks like father time has finally caught up to that team!!
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:04 pm
I have USC parlayed with Miami, Tampa and GB tomorrow.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:04 pm
If you know the Jets you know that it’s not the talent , their having alot of internal
Problems that are affecting their play but the miami win was prolly what they needed to get in the right direction
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:05 pm
That indy/new orleans game should be a slaughter too… It looks like Andrew Luck might be going to indy…. That team sucks without peyton manning!!
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:06 pm
Greenbay will slaughter the Bradfordless rams… they will beat the rams by 20.. easy!!

October 22nd, 2011 at 11:14 pm
i hope youir right about the raider game man!!… KC normally always play us tough and vice versa… we beat them twice last year and they won the division..lol…
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:14 pm
GB fav by -10 versus Vikings
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:15 pm

October 22nd, 2011 at 11:15 pm
I will take Stanford against the spread
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:15 pm
Oh.. thats right the rams are playing dallas… damn!! Dallas is going to whoooop them!!
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:17 pm
Yeah, I prolly stay away from that game too , up until 5 minutes before the game lmfao
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:17 pm
Stanford probably going to be 10 point favorite!! Right?? if they made notre dame 9 point fav over usc.. stanford probably 10-12 point favs over usc??? Heck no man!!! i think its a close one!!
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:18 pm
Dallas should win that by 10+ easily
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:20 pm
I’ll probably take stanford if their less than 7 point favs but anything over stay away , I really think that’s the stay away game lolz
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:20 pm
Standford beat the crap outta washington… Washington is a good team….lol. This might be Standfords only real test… playing away vs a USC team that will be putting it all on the line… USC has nothing better to play for.. no bowl game for them!!
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:22 pm
Luck VS Barkley…. i think its over 10 points.. Stanford much better than notre dame.. yet they put notre dame 9 point favs over usc…lol
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:23 pm
Why does HAWAII play at 9at home their not 2 hours behind us are they?
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:24 pm
i think their 3 hours behind..
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:26 pm
Yah anything can happen though Texas tech beat #3 ranked oklahoma by 3, they were 30 point underdogs lol
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:26 pm

DHB is listed as a fantasy sleeper this week against KC. I will be the first to admit that I would have never seen that coming a few weeks ago. DHB has improved/TRANSFORMED so much in such a little amount of time, that it is a HUGE inspiration. DHB gets nothing but respect from me, as a human being. Lets me know I need to step my OWN game up in a lot of areas, and that its just a matter of working hard and not letting the words of doubters distract you from your focus.
Sounds like Raider sh!t to me.
October 23rd, 2011 at 6:16 am
i think they are thinking about a Wildcat package for Pryor. I think its brilliant, but before the bye… I der if it give teams more time to prepare for that package. If Palmer plays after the bye, then you gotta prep for the wildcat and Palmer. Hue can coach, (can’t make trades very well, but can coach.)
October 23rd, 2011 at 6:43 am
It’s not a wildcat package unless a RB-WR is lined up as the QB, right?.
Pryor is a QB, if he gets a couple of snaps it would probably be to run the option with McFadden by his side or maybe a roll out like when JaMarcus entered a game for the first time vs Denver as a rookie.
I like the idea, it could always turn into a disaster but it’s obvious by now that Hue Jackson is willing to take risks.
October 23rd, 2011 at 6:59 am
Bob Marley,
It’ll be interesting to see if Pryor gets in the game. I wouldn’t think Hue would use him if it’s close, but as you say with Hue you never know.
One thing’s for sure, it’s not going to ruin the franchise (as a certain person in here has suggested).
October 23rd, 2011 at 7:10 am
Yeah Teach, it’s a weird game.
I feel like we can afford to lose this one since Palmer wll be our QB for the final 9 weeks, so Hue can throw an unexpected wrinkle or two at KC, but at the same time I’m terrified about losing the game.
I hate that we lost Jano, he does affect how the game is called, 40+ yard FG’s are now a coin toss with this Rayner guy and taking Jano off the field could cost us at least 6 very valuable points.
October 23rd, 2011 at 7:38 am
This is going to be a very rugged game, and our boys are going to have to really fight and push these guys around to beat them.
The Chiefs won’t respect Boller at all, and even if he miracously throws for 300 yards in the first 3 quarters, they will still make him prove it in the 4th quarter as well.
Therefore, I see McFadden having a 27 carry 96 yard-type game, with lots of really tough yards.
Raiders 17
Chiefs 16
October 23rd, 2011 at 7:40 am
Pryor wasn’t even dressed last week, nor did it seem like he was really paying attention at the end of the game.
I doubt he sees action, and I would even be a bit suprised if he was suited up.
Also expect Bruce Campbell to be inactive today as well, and if so, probably for the most of the year moving forward.
October 23rd, 2011 at 7:43 am
This game scares me too JFB!
I know what u mean
previous raider teams lose this with a Jano an healthy campbell
so without both it’s really scary. An Palmer not ready yet so…..
October 23rd, 2011 at 7:45 am
Good Morning Raider Nation!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 7:46 am
Chiefs play us tougher, over the last few years, in Oakland than in Arrowhead.
Their season is really on the line, so they will give everything they have.
Have to watch for Arenas on those punt returns. 3rd in the league right now, behind Hester, and Decker (who housed one on us opening night).
October 23rd, 2011 at 7:47 am
This game won’t be close. Big games for the rb’s today including Taiwan Jones.
Breakout game for DVD as well ( who is my mup!)
Also look for Denarious Moore to re-emerge today.

Nurse: “Mr Campbell, I’ll turn on the T.V. and here is the button if you need anything.”
Campbell: “Please put it on ESPN.”
ESPN: “Da Raider’s just traded for Carson Palmer!”
Campbell presses the red button for the Nurse.

Bruce Campbell was a healthy inactive last week.
Looks like Barksdale has passed him as the backup Guard option, and Heyer as well.
October 23rd, 2011 at 7:52 am
Taiwan Jones huh?
My preseason over/under on his touches from scrimmage on the season was 44.
Looks like the under is definately in play, being he only has 2 so far.

Got a bottle of some Ice Wine Rose infused champagne (from Ontario, around $75 a bottle) on ice for afterwards.
5-2 before the bye, IMO, deserves some sort of champagne popping.
October 23rd, 2011 at 8:11 am
Merrill hoge just said he expects Palmer to be the Palmer of 05 and 08, what we are forgetting is the raiders have a superb running game, Palmer had that back then with rudi johnson.
October 23rd, 2011 at 8:15 am
at harrahs casino the line has droped with the raiders giving 3.5 pts and the ov/un at 41.5. put 100 on the raids and the over..parlay…

October 23rd, 2011 at 8:39 am
5 away would be $20
10 away would be $40
I like Round Robins, because if you hit 2 of 3, you at least get your moneyback.
Whatever it is, I got you in December when we come out.

Today’s bold prediction – Our D gets an amazing 4 turnovers. And DVD gets a pick 6 to the house.
October 23rd, 2011 at 8:50 am
Does anybody else finds the red jerseys QB’s wear for practice cool?.
I wish they were for sale, would get # 3.
October 23rd, 2011 at 8:52 am
They do make red ones Bob. For the Pro Bowl! So hopefully next year you can get one.

Kyle Boeller is going to play his ass off today…m
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:03 am
Coach Jackson said that ALL 3 Qb’s could play today… We could see TP in a package…
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:05 am
Question, when Boeller plays lights out today, who do you start aftert the Bye??????

Palmer.
I think Boller will play OK today. DHB will have a big game again. And DMC will be 2 legs on the stool.
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:16 am
Waow!! NINE MILLION, I like Palmer and this deal even more now! thats a chunk of money to wave goodbye to!

….
If Campbell could come back after the bye week would this even be a question?
The answer is this… Boller’s job is to carry this team until the starter is ready. Period.
That is the job of every backup.
If Boller plays well today, great! Doesn’t mean he is a starting QB. Just means he did his job.
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:19 am
LOL..
“Tebow focuses on leadership, comminication”
well what about technique? I thought that would the primary focus point!?!?

________________________________________________________
If Boller EVER played lights out for us, it would be because of the weapons on this team, not because hes a good QB. If Boller has anything close to a decent game, it will only be reason to get Carson in there in even SOONER to take advantage of the weapons we have.
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:21 am
Question, when Boeller plays lights out today, who do you start aftert the Bye??????
=====================================
Hmmm, let’s see…
Just traded potentially two numbers ones for Palmer.
Let’s play Boller after the bye.
C’mon. Kyle can play a great game and he’ll be riding pine again BEFORE the bye.
Only way Boller or TP see significant time after the bye is if Carson is injured or playing like Johnny Carson, in which case we’re going to moaning about the trade.
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:22 am
I will place the over/under on Boller’s QB rating today at 75.7
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:22 am
The Violator was on Fox!
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:24 am
If Boller plays lights out then we will have a very good back up for palmer.
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:27 am
Game day, Nation! Are you ready for some football?
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:29 am
Just Destroy..!!!!!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:30 am
If Kyle Boller is this helpless….then the Raiders were beeee esssin in the preseason. Why on earth do you retain guys that can’t play?
Charlie Frye or even the little Gradkowski kid could backup for a few games.
Anyway, the Raiders have to do like they have the last 2 weeks and stay focused on playing great defense and stopping the run. Run the football with DMAC and Bush and take a couple of shots.
BTW, just my opinion…but this blog has a tendency to literally put players in the Hall of Fame before they have taken a snap.
Lets put it on tape 1st
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:34 am
Lots of McFadden… Bush…and Kevin Boss..
Pressure Cassell… Stop Battle….
Just Destroy!!!!!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:35 am
JC. Nice guy. Good teammate. Showed leadership during the lockout.
Mediocre QB – on a good day.
Honestly don’t believe the drop off from JC to Boller is significant.
Do think that the change from JC to Boller and the Palmer uncertainty and media circus this week could have negative consequences today.
Preparation might not be what it should be.
Raids better forget the ass whuppin they put on KC in the finale and recognize they were fortunate to beat KC in the first meeting.
KC is minus their best offensive player, but they’re still dangerous.
If defense plays like they did in week 17 last season, KC is in trouble. If not, this is a dog fight.
Hope Hue has the troops ready and fired up.

October 23rd, 2011 at 9:40 am
We had a chance with Boller as back up to maybe making the playoffs. With Palmer we could very well be going to the playoffs for the next 5 yrs.
If the refs lay off of us since Al’s gone I would say 3 playoff births the next 5 yrs.
I’m not just being optimistic .
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:40 am
Zach Miller has another concussion.
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:42 am
Zack Miller had his best years wasted, getting layed out to dry by Jamarcus Russell.
Playing with Jamarcus is like dog years for a TE.
Bummer for Zack, he may have to hang them up sooner rather than later.
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:43 am
Lot’s of screens today, play action, kc will key on mcfadden, 8 in the box, watch for some once passes fpr big gains today.
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:44 am
Passes for long gains, mark it down.
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:45 am
I believe we may have to lean on Hue’s penchant for trickeration today, to move the ball.
Wouldn’t be suprised to see McFadden or Bush toss the rock, maybe some more of Jacoby lining up in the backfield, WR screens and reverses.
Just don’t need the end arounds to Reece and Ausberry there Hue.

you may not like russell and thats fine but your bullsh!t propaganda needs to stop. he didnt leave miller out to dry as much as u claim and he had his best years with #2. dont know why yall keep talkin about someone yall hate so much. i was one of his last fans and ive been over his failures. u guys need to let it go and move on but then again most of you wouldnt have sh!t to say if u couldnt talk down on someone. we have carson palmer yet we still have to talk about russ or grads in here. i think some of yall like the bullsh!t they did here.
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:54 am
Refs are never going to lay off us.
At least not while there’s still a perception that the Raids are the NFL’s ‘bad boys’.
Have the Raids wound up on the short end of some really bad calls more than they should have ? I think so.
Were the Raids guilty of a lot of ‘discipline’ and pre-snap penalties ? I think so.
The question is, why are the Raids the league’s most penalized team – year after year after year ?
Surely some of the coaching staffs here over the years should have had some success in changing the penalty proclivity.
Yet, that’s never happened.
Why ?
The answer is simple.
Because of the Raider image and reputation, their games are more closely officiated than other NFL contests.
I’d bet if a stat guru like JFB investigated this theory, he’d find that not only do the Raids lead the NFL in penalties by a wide margin, but that their games have more penalties called than in a typical NFL contest.
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:55 am
well any way it should be a victory for us and i believe we put it on kc more than expected.

October 23rd, 2011 at 9:59 am
Looking at CP3’s highlights and the first thought that came to my mind….when was the last time a Raider QB hit his WR in strides down field in the last 7 yrs? Can’t wait.
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:59 am
F8ck boomeer and his minions and who ever was dumb enough to give him a job as an analyst
October 23rd, 2011 at 10:01 am
i hope LT rips SD a new one. for the first time ever, i’m hoping LT does well in a game.
October 23rd, 2011 at 10:01 am

==============================================
Could be. But I’d guess it’s mainly going to be a straight forward, keep it simple, game plan.
However, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we get our first glimpse of TP on the field in a wildcat situation.
Think that’s coming sooner than expected.
October 23rd, 2011 at 10:03 am
It would be easy for us to lose this game today.
We are hurting without JC and Jano.
McClain is injured as well. Don’t know if he is going to play.
But I think Hue’s trickeration will help.
October 23rd, 2011 at 10:04 am
I wasn’t talking about reputation or offsides penalties. Did that onside kick last week go 10 yrs? Did the tip of the ball hit the ground on the Imaculate deception? Ask any one who saw it live why they now show Franco with the bottom cut off of the screen. Intentional maliciousness.
October 23rd, 2011 at 10:07 am

October 23rd, 2011 at 10:10 am
It’s ok, the Chargers will find a way to lose this game. They are not a physical team and will wear down.

i know it never will. but guess what, i agree with u. i definately believe al lost a lot of energy being betrayed by russell. big enuff reason for me to just call it what it was and move on. i know i was disappointed but no where near what al felt. i cant wait to see how u bail on carson if he fuggs up. u are the ultimate salesman. oouldnt believe u said jc needs to get stepped on. funny in some ways true in others. its also reallY FUGGED UP!
October 23rd, 2011 at 10:11 am

October 23rd, 2011 at 10:12 am

October 23rd, 2011 at 10:15 am
Armond must have tickets sitting next to Brien and Norco Bob.
October 23rd, 2011 at 10:15 am
After watching the onside kick replay from last week – yes, I think it went 10 yards. No, I don’t think the Brown touched it before it went 10. In fact, I think the Raids were fortunate that Cribbs didn’t take it to the house.
Think Franco caught the Immaculate deception. Don’t think Tatum touched the ball though.
I KNOW Brady and Lytle BOTH fumbled. No doubt on those.
Absolutely agree the Raids have gotten the short end of the officiating over the years.
Was merely trying to explain why the Raids consistently have led the NFL in penalties for 30+ years now.
I don’t believe it’s due to lack of discipline or stupidity. I wouldn’t go as far as saying there’s a conspiracy against the Raids, although it sure might seem that way.
I do believe Raider games are more closely officiated due to image and reputation.
October 23rd, 2011 at 10:16 am
Armond, that’s Raider games, for ya. After years and years of Al Davis and John Herrera, you get a stadium full of Briens. Ruins the experience. Makes it a waste of money.
October 23rd, 2011 at 10:16 am
you mean watching the game live isn’t enough to beworth ur while?
October 23rd, 2011 at 10:19 am
What are Briens? I am not familiar with this subculture.
October 23rd, 2011 at 10:22 am
A “brien” is someone who is too big of a puzzy to join a real gang, so he basically brings the gang culture to the Raiders, claiming the Raiders like a gang. He “set trips” on other fans during the game, fans of other teams, and even Raider fans who aren’t as loyal as he’d like.
October 23rd, 2011 at 10:22 am
