Boller opens at QB vs. Chiefs
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, October 23rd, 2011 at 1:18 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The mystery is over.
Kyle Boller took the field as the starting quarterback Sunday at O.Co Coliseum against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Results of Boller’s first drive were disastrous as Kendrick Lewis intercepted a Boller pass and returned it 59 yards for a TD.
Carson Palmer, acquired for a first-round draft pick and a first- or second-round pick Tuesday from the Cincinnati Bengals, will be the backup and it remains to be seen if there is a plan to get him some playing time.
The Raiders also have Terrelle Pryor active, and he has already been in to take a snap in spread formation, which is suited to his skills as a runner-passer.
Coach Hue Jackson declined to name a starter during the week, waiting to see if Palmer would be ready after being off for the last six weeks and having not played in a game since last year’s regular-season finale.
With the bye week coming up, the Raiders have until Nov. 6 to get Palmer ready to face the Denver Broncos at O.co Coliseum.
ESPN reported earlier Sunday the decision would be up to Palmer whether he starts, which runs contrary to Jackson’s position Friday that he would make the call.

Disaster. I don’t remember Jason ever throwing a romo.

No dropoff from Campbell huh?
Boller is the worst backup in the NFL!!!
25 Turnovers to 12 TD’s in the last 5 years!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:19 pm
So when do the Palmer chants start?
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:19 pm
PALMER PALMER PALMER!
Hue, this is what you get for listening to Davis’s guys. I know you’re trying to be nice and show him some respect. But he’s gone. Win. Win. Put your players in and win!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:20 pm
Come on Hue. You’re getting a little too damn cute and cocky…
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:20 pm
That INT was due to the slick play on 3rd and 1
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:20 pm
Raiding Texas, the fans were chanting palmer right after the pick.

The offense hasn’t thrown a pick 6 for like 3 seasons…..Kyle Boller takes 3 plays to erase that

See, here is where Hue outsmarts himself sometimes. 3rd and 1…you’ve got Bush, DMAC, Tonga…and we do slick stuff where its not needed.
********************
correct
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:20 pm
That INT was due to the slick play on 3rd and 1
********************
Exactly.
Bullies don’t run shenanigans on 3rd and 1
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:20 pm
Sullivan,
I don’t understand why you keep taking jabs at Al Davis.
Give it a rest
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:21 pm
OMFG!!!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, HUE???
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:21 pm
I have a deep-rooted hate for Boller, from the days he went 0-11 at Cal.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:21 pm
This game will do 2 things:
1. Show that JC is better than most thought
2. Show why Run DMC is the MVP of this team
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:21 pm
Unfortunately Boller inspires nobody.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:21 pm
I’m not a big fan of Hue’s trickery, but I thought that was a good play they ran with Pryor.
Rookie mistake, won’t happen again.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:21 pm
KC just stacks the line now.
Of course Boller’s just checking down.
Game plan’s already ditched.
Hue, wtf are you doing? Put Palmer in now!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:22 pm
Half time adjustment = Palmer
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:23 pm
Before Hue saved Boller in 2010, he was completely out of the league in 2009.
Wasn’t on a team.
I highly doubt there is any other QB that is a #2, who has twice as many turnovers as TD’s over the last 5 years.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:23 pm
I feel sick… smh
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:23 pm
Lmao somebody thought this guy was worthy of a 1st round pick and could lead a franchise
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:23 pm
We’re already ditching the game plan and keeping the game out of Boller’s hands. And KC knows it. They’re not stupid. I don’t understand this at all. What is Hue doing? Why is he giving Boller 9 lives?
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:23 pm
I think Palmer is coming in
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:23 pm
ullies don’t run shenanigans on 3rd and 1
——————————————————
They do with a guy like Boller at QB.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:24 pm
Did anyone else see that clip before commercial
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:24 pm
OK LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.
HUE TRADES THE FARM FOR CARSON PALMER.
SUDDENLY DECIDES TO PLAY BOLLER INSTEAD.
SOMEBODY UP THERE IS STILL F’N MEDDLING, GOD DAMMIT.

Nah, won’t take that long.
If Boller is just going to tuck it and run, he won’t be in there long.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:24 pm
You won’t hear anymore complaints from me about the compensation for the CP trade.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:24 pm
I thought Charlie Frye did a respectable job….

Exactly, they were expecting a run with our backs and that play took the ball out of Boller’s hands, that’s all good in my book
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:25 pm
Love to hear a “Holy Toledo” from Bill King
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:25 pm
Boller is worse than Tebow. Hue, stop jokin around already and put Carson in.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:25 pm
Sullivan,
Stop it
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:25 pm
denver wins in ot… crap
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:26 pm
TEbow lives on.
Thoughts Sully?
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:26 pm
ANOTHER good play for DVD!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:26 pm
SD lost. We win, 1st place is ours.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:27 pm
I really detest Fouts as the color commentator. He’s so obviously biased from all the beatings he received at the hands of the Raiders over the years.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:27 pm
Curry
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Nice hit by the new guy 44.
Already like him.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Curry again.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Jhill,
There you have it. Linebacker on the edge
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Looks like Sparano is finished.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Aaron Curry doin what he does.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:29 pm
on a lighter note, Aaron Curry looks good
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:29 pm
Nice punt and down by kc
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:29 pm
Our punt returning the last two years has been beyond abysmal.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:30 pm
Gruden to Miami watch is now officially on.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:30 pm
Jhill,
There you have it. Linebacker on the edge
—————————————————–
What a difference, eh?
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:31 pm
Tebow is still a bum he just got some nice plays from his team and a huge choke from Miami. Nice win for the guy tho, maybe he can build on it
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:31 pm
I can’r believe we got Curry for a 7th and 5th.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:32 pm
The Tebow fans will never shut the fk up now.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:32 pm
Cuury big on two plays already
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:32 pm
McFadden hurt…

Palmer? Now?
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:33 pm
That’s why you need two running backs in this league
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:34 pm
Boller is awful.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:34 pm
Boller is a walking disaster. More completions to Chiefs than us. SAD
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:34 pm
f’n boller
what a turd
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:34 pm
McFadden hurt, Boller the QB…
Boller hits a second INT…
Here comes Palmer
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:34 pm
Don’t put Palmer in this trashy game. Not worth it.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:34 pm
Yup, get Boller on out of here.
I would rather see Pryor out there running bootlegs etc
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:34 pm
LOL….at the people saying we would hang 40 on them.
I looked it up.
Boller never scored 40 in the Pro’s, and only once in 31 games in college.
No stats on High School though.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:34 pm
They have to get Boller out of there.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:34 pm
All the breaks going to KC so far
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:35 pm
Curry blew that one up – great job.

October 23rd, 2011 at 1:35 pm
Boller 0-10 in his last 10 starts.
Uh….that is more than enough of a sample size.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:35 pm
Looks like the Raiders have rid themselves of the “Overpursuit Virus”
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:36 pm
Its ok guys, this ofense didn’t need JC. We are built on the run and the QB doesn’t matter. There’s not a big dropoff after JC etc etc etc
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:36 pm
chiefs moving the ball…
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:37 pm
Finally DVD gets to cover someone almost as thin as him
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:37 pm
Routt good coverage
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:38 pm
Raiders WILL win this f’n game!
they will find a way!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:38 pm
Curry playing well
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:38 pm
I am sick..
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:38 pm
McCluster = most overrated player in the NFL
He averages 25 yards from scrimmage per gaem and is 40th in the league in kickoff return average
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:39 pm
All you blitz fans are seeing what happens when you don’t get there.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:39 pm
14 down, time for Palmer. No more BS with Boller.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:39 pm
We are getting outplayed in all phases.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:39 pm
I refuse to watch ESPN for the rest of the week, they are going to vomit all over themselves giving Tebow props, its going to be worse than when Brett Favre did something good

There are too many bad players on this defense. It really sucks that we won’t be able to address that in the draft next year.

That’s what usually happens when you turn the ball over.

defintely a trashy game. But a huge win for KC, they come right back in the division. This may be a lost oportunity for raiders, having SD loose.
Gut check time for Hue.
No McFadden, Boller stinks…
What to do.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:40 pm
Uh oh!!! I don’t like what I’m seeing.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:41 pm
Routt has been beaten for a TD four times this season. Nnamdi he ain’t.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:41 pm
this is why we went out and got palmer and huff whiffed twice on 3rd downs
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:41 pm
Know whats the worse part of being down by 2 touchdowns? it forces us to throw more
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:41 pm
3rd and 1 nonsense started the downfall of all this.
We got them 3 and out, and had the ball inside the 50.
Hue thought gettting Pryor a snap on a sneak was more important apparently.

Gotta blitz. We’ve seen what happens when they just rely on 4-man pressure
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:42 pm
Been saying all week long Routt has been lucky not turning his face around playing the ball and he got his aZZ handed to him today. Decent QB’s put the ball up there and let their WR play over his head. Dude is OVERRRATED!!!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:42 pm

Routt is so due for a touchdown
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:44 pm
couldn’t even recover the dang fumble.

This is a lost game.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:45 pm
boller is so bad, i’d take tebow over him at this point. just win, baby!
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:45 pm
Thats a touchback, no one but the ball carrier can advance the ball after a fumble
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:46 pm
We can get back into this game but not with Boller.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:46 pm
Nice hit by Curry to cause that fumble
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:46 pm
The good thing is we will get a second shot againts this KC team that looks very beatable.

October 23rd, 2011 at 1:50 pm
IMO, that was the best catch and run by DHB ever
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:51 pm
Hue needs to call short passes to get Boller in rythm here.

Maybe Curry us our MLB and McClain can call the D from the WSOLB
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:52 pm
If somehow we can get 7 here, its a game…
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:52 pm
Kyle Boller is the worst #2 in the league, so I don’t even know what that makes him when he starts.

No one said that.
Most people didn’t think Nnamdi was worth 15 million a year or so.
Even noted Nnamdi hater MistaBrown said he would have taken him back for 10′ish.
