1st quarter: Vikings 7, Raiders 3
By Steve Corkran
Sunday, November 20th, 2011 at 10:45 am in Oakland Raiders.
The Vikings struck first with a 77-yard drive that featured three personal-foul penaties by the Raiders for 42 yards.
Vikings running back Adrian Peterson capped the drive with a 12-yard run through the heart of the Raiders defense, without encountering much resistance.
Peterson’s scoring jaunt came one play after Raiders strong safety tackled wide receiver Percy Harvin by the face mask for a 12-yard penalty at the end of a 9-yard completion.
Defensive tackle Tommy Kelly kept alive the drive with a roughing-the-passer penalty on Christian Ponder on what should have been a drive-ending sack.
Oakland’s first drive ended with Carson Palmer being sacked by linebacker Chad Greenway. It appeared as if Palmer wanted to hit fullback Marcel Reece on a deep pass. However, the Vikings had two men covering Reece.
Wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey was open on the play, but Palmer didn’t spot him in time. Not a surprise, given Heyward-Bey had only one pass thrown his way the past two games.
The Raiders countered the Vikings scoring drive with a sequence that culminated with a Sebastian Janikowski 29-yard field goal.
Rookie Taiwan Jones set up the drive with a 46-yard kick return to the Raiders 45-yard line. Palmer completed 2 of 3 passes for 13 yards on the drive. Reece and Bush had long runs that kept alive the drive.

Bresnahan. Fracking Breasnahan. FRACKING BREASNAHAN. Every blitz this kid has out run.
Have a rookie looking like FLutie.
D is completely lost.
November 20th, 2011 at 10:48 am
How many times we gonna let Percy Harvin run up the middle without getting crushed.
November 20th, 2011 at 10:49 am
YES!!!!

Great catch
November 20th, 2011 at 10:53 am
myers! thats micheal myers!
November 20th, 2011 at 10:53 am
Huebis has to go after this season if he can’t fix this penalty problem. I am ready for a disciplinarian coach. And now that the old man is gone, we can possibly get one in here.
November 20th, 2011 at 10:54 am
I dont like that Palmer takes a knee go for the throat
November 20th, 2011 at 10:55 am
That was a free play that Palmer wasted.
November 20th, 2011 at 10:56 am
Will be 10-7 soon.
November 20th, 2011 at 10:56 am
Cannot cover moore 1v1
November 20th, 2011 at 10:58 am

November 20th, 2011 at 10:58 am
Pass protection is a little suspect today
November 20th, 2011 at 10:58 am
WTF is wrong with these refs today? 2nd charged timeout?
November 20th, 2011 at 10:58 am
Wow ref got it wrong again
November 20th, 2011 at 10:58 am
Every single zebra on the field looks like he has down syndrome.

might say he bobbled it when his foot was out of bounds. prepare yourselves.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:01 am
Schilens! WOW!!!
November 20th, 2011 at 11:01 am
We have a Schilens sighting!
November 20th, 2011 at 11:01 am
It’s nice having a real QB in Oakland. Heckuva throw.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:02 am
Just our luck they might overturn
November 20th, 2011 at 11:02 am
Hate to say it, but I think they are going to phuggg us and say he was bobbling it.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:02 am
Inconclusive as Fk.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:02 am
this might be overturned.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:02 am
They are going to try to take that TD away on the old “didn’t control it going to the ground” “rule”.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:03 am
Relax, they review all TDs. No evidence he touched any stripe before full possession and being down.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:03 am
If there’s any question as to whether or not he caught it, they’ll rule against us.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:03 am
Refs better not fk us again
November 20th, 2011 at 11:03 am
Ill feel better after it has been blessed
November 20th, 2011 at 11:03 am

Chaz looks gay as a 3 dolla bill.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:04 am
gotta say he was out of bounds but the zebras owed us…
November 20th, 2011 at 11:04 am
Someone upstairs said “You know, you guys really screwed them 3 times over on that Vikings TD drive. Let’em have it.”
November 20th, 2011 at 11:04 am
Chaz snapped his spine on that catch and will be out the year, but I can’t to see him next year!
November 20th, 2011 at 11:05 am
The feed cut out on the TD.God Damn it
November 20th, 2011 at 11:05 am
C’mon D let’s get it back!

November 20th, 2011 at 11:07 am
Can we stop with those stupid short kicks already?
November 20th, 2011 at 11:07 am
Might as well try on-side kicks all day.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:07 am
Hue needs to fire the Spec Teams coach yesterday
November 20th, 2011 at 11:07 am
Cp3 throws such a beautiful ball.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:07 am
Not wishing injuries on anyone but I’m hoping Peterson is out for the rest of the game.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:08 am
I hate when announcers say “10 unanswered points” right after the team scores. Vikings haven’t had a chance to answer yet, you dipsht.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:09 am
Wrong, Hue needs to fire himself as GM. We should have brought in a kicker, this is ridiculous as hell watching SeaPerch kickoff to the 20 yard line!

Well, I needed more than 8.6 points out of him in my FFL game. But I’ll take a Raiders win over a big AP day anyday.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:10 am
Harvin is too strong for Slowlando McLazy to tackle.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:10 am
That’s how you do it. beat the WRs ass
November 20th, 2011 at 11:11 am

November 20th, 2011 at 11:13 am

November 20th, 2011 at 11:13 am
Nice to have a qb who can read a defense.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:13 am
Palmer is badd…what an audible
November 20th, 2011 at 11:13 am
Bush is animal now only if he was little more faster.. Better than AP..

November 20th, 2011 at 11:17 am
something over the middle to boss for the td
November 20th, 2011 at 11:17 am
Two nice back to back ankle moves one resulted in 1st down the other could have been stopped for negative yards but Jones got 3 yards out of it just with his Shwivel..
November 20th, 2011 at 11:17 am
Time for a little Bo$$
November 20th, 2011 at 11:17 am

Some of these goons still doubt him, or are quick to criticize. Just watch. When Palmer throws his next pick (and he will, all QBs do), pay attention to the goons in here that are all too happy to celebrate it.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:30 am
And still not a complete game..D is still worrisome
November 20th, 2011 at 11:32 am
CP3 is the man! Raiders need to stop committing boneheaded defensive penalties tho. Thats how the vikings scored in the first place.
November 20th, 2011 at 11:38 am
What’s great to see is Raiders taking advantage of opposing team’s mistakes.
Everytime they’ve screwed up Raiders have capitalized.
THAT will win you games.
