Final: Lions 28, Raiders 27
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, December 18th, 2011 at 5:25 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Quarterback Matt Stafford threw touchdown passes of 3 yards to Titus Young and 6 yards to Calvin Johnson in the last five minutes as the Detroit Lions came back for a 28-27 win over the Raiders Sunday at O.co Coliseum.
Losers of three straight, the Raiders are 7-7 and probably still a game back of the Denver Broncos, who were well behind New Englnad in the fourth quarter.
Stafford completed 29 of 52 passes for 391 yards, with Calvin Johnson catching 9 passes for 214 yards. The Lions, 9-5, remain in contention for an NFC wild card spot.
The Raiders, who led the game 27-14 with 7:47 left after a strip-sack by Tommy Kelly resulted on a 4-yard touchdown by linebacker Aaron Curry, got the ball near midfield as the game ended.
Janikowski had a 65-yard field goal attempt at the gun partially blocked.
Oakland also scored on a 43-yard pass from Carson Palmer to Darrius Heyward-Bey, a 12-yard reverse by Louis Murphy in the first quarter and field goals of 46 and 51 yards by Sebastian Janikowski.
For Detroit, Stafford had touchdown passes of 51 yards to Calvin Johnson, 39 yards to Nate Burleson and 4 yards to Titus Young, the last one coming with 4:59 to play and getting Detroit within 27-21.

Can’t stop the run and can’t stop the pass….
Get a real GM and let him hire his coach and lets get professional up in here
December 18th, 2011 at 5:26 pm
Hue should be fired.
Not taking the 3 points to start the game cost this team a playoff appearance.
MF’ing amateur, Madden-edque bullcrap!!!
December 18th, 2011 at 5:26 pm
How the phuck do you loose with 13 point lead with 6 minutes left?
December 18th, 2011 at 5:27 pm

GRUDEN COMEBACK!
December 18th, 2011 at 5:27 pm
All that B.S about scoring points…and elite QB…can take that and go to ……
Need to start it over again
At least this time do it right
December 18th, 2011 at 5:27 pm
On a day everything went right, Tenn Den Jets losers, we let the Lions waltz for 99 fckng yards with ease.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:27 pm
What a heart breaker!
December 18th, 2011 at 5:27 pm
Bresnehan needs to by shot in the parking lot. Pathetic f*cking loser defense!
December 18th, 2011 at 5:27 pm
MM34 and Jerome Boyd both had a play where there ENTIRE F’KN PURPOSE WAS TO PREVENT THE DEEP PLAY!!!
They failed and should not be invited back next year.
Fck them
December 18th, 2011 at 5:27 pm
CArson is an ok QB….not worth what they gave up
Mortgaged the future.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:28 pm
Hue was not the problem.
The offense was not the problem.
Palmer was not the problem.
Bresnahan is a pathetic joke. We need to clean house on our ridiculous excuse for a defense. FIRE BRESNAHAN NOW!
December 18th, 2011 at 5:28 pm
Boyd needs to be cut,DC needs to be fired,NOW!Terrible loss,one of the worst,EVER no excuse for that CRAP
December 18th, 2011 at 5:28 pm
Routt got abuseiz an unda statement
December 18th, 2011 at 5:28 pm
I can be Team Hue if he fires Bresnahan. SINGLE WORST DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR IN THE LEAGUE!!! How do you call a defense that puts your MLB in deep coverage on Calvin Johnson!?!?!?!? Bresnahan lost this game, not the players. The players weren’t put in a position to win based solely on play calling by the DC.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:28 pm
Look at it this way, we are still in the playoff race.
But damn, Hue ha some bone headed calls. And Bres needs to be fired ASAP.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:28 pm
just ridiculous!!
i mean.. u know their gonna throw it to megatron.. oh i know leave routt on him by himself like hes deion sanders!!!!!
December 18th, 2011 at 5:28 pm
At least you all learned a powerful lesson here
Defense wins games….PERIOD!
December 18th, 2011 at 5:28 pm
Ey guys, it was a fun season. I look forward for our healthy offense next season. Going to be damn fun once these guys get some chem and we get a real offensive coordinator.. none of this razzle dazzle, video game stuff every other possession.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:28 pm
Wow, does this defense suck major horse balls or what?? Holy crap.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:29 pm
The defense needs to be overhauled….dump all the contracts…get a real MLB and start over.
Get a defensive minded head coach and start over
December 18th, 2011 at 5:29 pm
We need a fuggin GM, so Hue doesn’t pull anymore “Greatest Trade of All Time” shennanigans, and we need a real defensive coordinator.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:29 pm
Instead of throwing to Chaz Schillens….Why didn’t Hue run Bush? I could puke!

December 18th, 2011 at 5:29 pm
CorkOnTheNFL Steve Corkran
Coach Jackson’s decision to bypass field-goal attempt in first half, two-point attempt in fourth quarter come back to haunt Raiders.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:30 pm
Boyd was pretty awful as well
That punt return penalty and him gazing at the stars in the other direction while he runs past a lob to Megatron.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:30 pm
Sad thing is, even if they get rid of Hue (which I unfortunately don’t think will happen), he’s fkd this team for two years with that idiotic trade.

December 18th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
Goodbye Hue
December 18th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
Breshanan TWICE had a call where he threw a safety 35 yards down the field and said don’t give up the TD.
MM34 in the first half failed and than Boyd failed.
That ain’t on Chuck B, as much as I hate that POS. That is on “Missile” Mike and Jerome “Practice Squad” Boyd showing their colors as NFL safeties.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
May hue choke on his ego
December 18th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
Another f/ing loss. Season over!!!! Lets hope Madden joins and Chuck is fired. This performance for 57 min very good. Last 3 min worthless. Game over – season over – what a disappointment – chances are they will finish 1-1 – but I would not be surprised 0-2.
Simply disgusted!!!
December 18th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
Fk this team.
I’m done.
I can’t believe this fing stuff just happened.
‘Stafford pulls off the miracle ‘.
No miracle. It’s the f’ing Raiders.
Why was I so cursed to be a fan of this fing team?
December 18th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
Farealz.. Its Christmas week. Im not about to dwell like some of you guys all week on here. F**k This team today. Im embarrassed to bleed silver and black. Im glad i didnt buy anything Raiders this year. Im out!!!!!!!

Players did their job. Coach’s sucked. Anyone want that first drive fg?
December 18th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
Hue knows how to lose.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
Fire CHUKY B! pathetic…release Routt, what a POS! never ever blitz Mclain agiain, he joggs into a FB every time…Palmer aint no Tony Romo…really.
Hue called a nice game, pity those 2 ling balls didnt get there.
CHUKY B is a POS! a clueless inmbecil really.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
r0utt can play dude.. hes good.. but ya know its the nfl and he cant stop megatron without safety help
December 18th, 2011 at 5:32 pm
Total team loss, once again.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:32 pm
This is a heartbreaker that will be tough to overcome. And we are still in the hunt, but we are weak, from the coaching side down to the player personell.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:32 pm
I like the play call with the pass to Schilens. It would have put the game away; Schilens should have caught it. As I said, the DC lost this game not the players. And Hue just let a golden opportunity slip away.
I guess we’ll find out at the end of the season if the Raider front office truly is molded in Al’s image, because he’d fire Hue for this kinda sh*t.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:32 pm
Hue = all sizzle no steak
Been saying it for 5 months and nobody wanted to listen.
That guy is an amateur.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:32 pm
You always take the points…but Hue’s arrogance kills the team again…just like running Pryor in the K.C game…or his getting slick at the goal line.
Hue is an assistant coach.
Its time for the Raiders to go out and get a premium head coach, a GM with a plan and rebuild this team.
This whole roster is really a false start. The amount of change on defense required to get this team right requires a very sharp mind.
This is the worst defense in the NFL
December 18th, 2011 at 5:32 pm
Ok here is what we should do lets puts Boyd and McClain
on CALVIN JOHNSON!! Brilliant!
December 18th, 2011 at 5:32 pm
unfrknblvble
this game sums up the season for us- victory within our grasp only to give it away. the stark reality is we are a .500 team a year and some decent defensive signings away from contention.
GOD THIS SUCKS!
December 18th, 2011 at 5:33 pm
Sad thing is, the “Raider Nation” applauded Hue for going for it in the first half.
They should have booooooooed the $hti of him for being a 16 year-old, Madden-playing buffoon.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:34 pm
All they had to do was put Routt and Branch on Johnson and Lito on Burrelson and put Mitchell and McClain on Pettigrew
December 18th, 2011 at 5:34 pm
We still have a chance for the playoffs but my goodness I’m nervous about us playing the Chiefs! The way the Chiefs played the Packers today leaves me wondering if we can defeat them.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:34 pm
FIRE CHUCK B NOW!!!
December 18th, 2011 at 5:34 pm
why have routt out there? better play DVD on Meatron all game, letg him learn, and everytime he gets beat just hold on 81 for a PI call, just like the POS Routt
December 18th, 2011 at 5:34 pm
I dont care what happens to Hue either,goin for it early on 4th,not goin for 2222222 on the late touchdown,and WHERE was BOSS until late?What a sad loss! Bring back Chuckie,as in Gruden
December 18th, 2011 at 5:35 pm
and uhh boyd isnt even supposed to be playin dudes.. people are hurt . boys is a serviceable 3rd stringer at best . chris johnson needs to be cut and raiders must draft another corner & a defensive end .. and another saftey ,,, and another runnin back sheeet!!! monty ball any1??????????????
December 18th, 2011 at 5:35 pm
December 18th, 2011 at 5:35 pm
Gotta take the three Hue it’s just good football sense. That’s your difference. Teams that beat Detroit double and triple teamed Megatron and how many times was McClain on him single? Bresnahan you are a joke. Sickening
December 18th, 2011 at 5:35 pm
We can’t play a Tampa two. Mitchell fugged up, but how about figuring out something these guys are good at and sticking with that? We can’t overhaul the D anytime soon thanks to Hue fugging us over with the Palmer trade (Burfect aint falling, and neither are any decent D linemen).
Best we can do is get a real D Coord, and let him and coach moron plan for the future by either dealing for picks, or getting guys outta free agency and hanging on until we get some.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:35 pm
Chuck B should be fired, but so should Mike Mitchell and Jerome Boyd.
They are special teams players ONLY!!!
December 18th, 2011 at 5:35 pm
Don’t get too worked up folks. Think about it, even if they win….does this team really belong in the playoffs with this D? No thank you. I don’t need another embarrassment like 2002.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:35 pm
Needed a first? Throw it deep? Yah Chaz catch the ball but wtf was the call? Need a new head. Hues good at o but not managing the game. Directly responsible for at least three looses, if not five.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:35 pm
- Palmer missing 2 big throws
- Boyd is bad (over running a lob to megatron and penalty on KR)
- Routt < Aso (just a bit)
- D. Coordinator is a clown
- Hue is in denial
- Special Teams, block for ya boy!
- Seabass, I know that was in bro.. I just know it..
- Pryor is the messiah
- CHRISTMAS IS RUINED THOU!

Only Al would’ve hired him in the first place. Hue is not head coach material. He’s an offensive positions coach, nothing more.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:36 pm
FIRE CHUKY B! has been my motto every frigin day since he was hired. he is a worthless piece of hot trash
December 18th, 2011 at 5:36 pm
draft the best corner available and monty ball!!!!!!!!!!
December 18th, 2011 at 5:36 pm
Hire a GM
December 18th, 2011 at 5:36 pm
Why??????????????
How do you let nthem drive 98 yards for the winning td?
I HATE this “defense”.
THEY ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY SUCK.
They should be ashamed.
These phaggots ruined yet another weekend for me. F these pieces of crap.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:37 pm
What?
December 18th, 2011 at 5:37 pm
I can’t count how many times I’ve watched this ending. I really don’t think I can do it anymore. Play a decent game and sh*t all over yourself in crunch time. Well, at least we’re improving our first round …. uh, never mind.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:37 pm
Meanwhile, everyone mocked Zack Miller and Robert Gallery a month into the season, and they are more likely to make the playoffs than us.

The only way forward is to clean house and hire a GM with a plan. It is going to take a few years.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:38 pm
Carson is an ok QB…he’s no better than JC…
THe issue was that Hue couldn’t get a backup QB prepared.
Then his playcalling and decision making
And the penalties and the defense.
A legit “top tier” coach will eliminate the problems of penalties and reckless decision making
A GM will restore the roster and get rid of the scholarships

If this ruined Christmas for you, Mike, then you need to refocus buddy. Disappointing for sure, but there’s more to life than football.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:38 pm
yeah get the best corner available in the 3rd round…
December 18th, 2011 at 5:38 pm
At this point they need to NOT get into the playoffs so Cincy doesn’t get TWO first rounders. Genius.
Ponderous. Effing ponderous.
The more I think about it, the more I’m NOT on the Hue Train. He needs to be fired. You’ve got the talent to be a top team, yet you find every opportunity to squander it. Unbelievable.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:39 pm
I’d like to ask Boyd what was so Fk’n. Funny after his stupid asz penalty brought that run back …
December 18th, 2011 at 5:39 pm
Hopefully the Chargers lose against the Ravens tonight.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:39 pm
I can’t fault Hue for Bresnahan Al hired him so if Hue hires a real DC and the defense improves next year than he’s good
December 18th, 2011 at 5:39 pm
Got to give it to HueSux at least he kept it interesting for 14 games.
And is there any doubt out there that if the Raiders need to pull out a victory in the last minute you can trust Palmer, right?
He’ll never be an elite QB that can take your team to the top. Look at today’s stats, great numbers, but a loss when it counts.
Don’t forget to send your Xmas cards to Bresnahan and HueSux for that wonderful prevent defense, that couldn’t defend a duck pass to Megatron, what a shame.
Got to clean house, HueSux first to go.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:39 pm
This team could be a playoff team if we had an NFL quality coaching staff.
Instead we have a UFL DC, and a HC/OC that can’t keep a job for more than 3 years.
Fire this whole staff, keep the players.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:40 pm
Why does Hue get the credit/blame for the Palmer trade?
You really think Al Davis set up his succession to be a rookie head coach?
Why don’t Marc Davis and Trask get credit/blame for the trade?
December 18th, 2011 at 5:40 pm
but why did they hire chucky b old azz anyway ?
look wut a guy like romeo crennel can do with a dfense .. and wae phillips.. need 2 find sum tough fat dude to run our defense right man

I want a real defensive minded head coach. I am tired of the excuses, the explanations, the “film study” and all that.
This team blew it again because they aren’t any good…seriously.
Hue made that move for Carson. Period. And what is Carson..an average QB.
Give me a break man!
Get a legit defensive minded head coach…a real GM and clean out the bloated contracts on that defense.
Get em all out of here…Seymour, Kelly, Routt, Wimbley, McClain, Huff

You all hate Hue’s calls but the thing is they were good calls at the right time. Each of those plays were open but Carson didn’t make the throw good enough. If Carson makes those throws we win this game

Does Hue have the authority to fire Bresnahan? I doubt it, but uf he does, I bet it happens. Not just because Bres sucks, but also because it will give Hue more breathing room to keep his job.

Whether the crowd was for it or not it doesn’t matter.
Hue Jackson should have the brains to take the points on that first drive in the game.
For fuk’s sake! Once again he goes for it on 4th down and it ends up being the difference in a win or a loss.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:46 pm
Bigger question is why wasn’t Johnson doubled all day?

I saw safeties playing 30 yards off the LOS to prevent the deep ball, and watched MM34 and Jerome Boyd do their typical quick-sand back-peddle and get blown by Megatron.

A major Choke…
December 18th, 2011 at 5:49 pm
Idiots in room. The offense played lights out today. Carson looked like a legit QB today. Hue is not the problem, even though he should have took the 3 earlier but he is not the problem. If this defense were middle of the road we would have been punched our playoff ticket. We don’t belong in the playoff with our defense.. I was able to take this lose a little easier because at least the team showed up. I’m going to enjoy these last two games cuz its going to be a long offseason.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:49 pm
Comedy hour in here.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:49 pm
Absolutely right that we need to re-build the defense.
Dump: McClain, Routt,Mitchell,Johnson,Boyd,Seymore, Kelly, Wimbley…..
But, How can you re-build with no draft picks? Cutting salaries will cause who knows what effect with dead money due to cap acceleration…
What a mess.
At least there won’t be a cap hit for firing Bresnahan tomorrow. No reason whatsoever to keep him the rest of the year.
If Hue wants to try to regain any credibility with the nation, Bresnahan has to go now.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:49 pm
Palmer’s misfire of Moore was Hue watching his NFL career melt before his eyes.
You call that play, it HAS TO BE EXECUTED.
If not, that is on you as HC, whether is was a terrible throw (which it was) or not.
You decided as a HC that Palmer throwing deep was better than Sebass kicking a 42 yarder.
It fails, for whatever reason, that is on you as a HC.

113 we scored 27 points we had the game won and we just needed the defense to hold up for a minute and a half and 99 yards and Bres couldn’t do it. Personally I liked the call on 4th down that was on Palmer not making that throw, and what happens if we don’t make the 2 point conversion
December 18th, 2011 at 5:50 pm

December 18th, 2011 at 5:50 pm
I have just sent this to Raiders.com. I’m sure I’ll receive no response.
Hello, my name is Sean. I was an Oakland Raiders fan for 20+years, and today I am no longer a fan of the Football team or the organization. Never was there more a sense of urgency to win than this year and this game, and the team like it has the last 20 years, blew an opportunity. I am disgusted by the lack of desire, the lack of will to win that made the Raiders organization great. I recently bought some Raider gear earlier this year to lend my support to the franchise. At times I proudly wear my gear, not anymore. The purchases I made will stay buried deep in my closet or drawer. Hue Jackson said he was committing his team to win, he has failed at every opportunity he has had. I supported him throughout the tough times this year, not anymore. How much dismay and disappointment, do you think we as fans can absorb without saying enough is enough. When will this organization finally grab fate by the horns and just execute. Off the field and on the field. This is truly the darkest hour of a fan’s hope. Dashed and discarded, like the past 10 years and the horrible performance in the Super Bowl against Tampa Bay. Well, this is where I stand alone, no longer a fan of the Oakland Raiders, no longer a fan of the NFL and I will never wear Silver and Black ever again. And I doubt anyone with power in the organization i.e. Amy Trask, Hue Jackson, or Mark Davis reads these comments and why would they. I’m sure I’m not the first fan to email a diatribe of disappointment and apathetically, I won’t be the last either, there are more like me and they’re coming to a realization that I just did, the Oakland Raiders are the most pathetic organization in sports. Mr.Davis let this franchise down in the last decade after having built it up. He was determined to build a winner again and he has failed yet again posthumously. I hope Hue Jackson realizes, he’s lost a member of the Nation. R.I.P. Sean Grice, Oakland Raiders supporter. Good day.
Call me a baby,whiner, I don’t care. I’ve been a fan for 20 years and counting, enough’s enough. I can’t keep getting upset like this, they’re just not worth it to my diabetes.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:50 pm
Hue just called out the defense on his presser. He said no excuses, 98 yards you need to stop them. No excuses.
See ya Chuck.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:51 pm
This team made soo many mistakes this year…this was just the grand finale.
The Raiders need to go into this offseason and start over with a clean slate.
Hue Jackson wouldn’t be a head coach anywhere…not after these cartoon antics of leaving points on the floor and his wacky playcalling and his down right stupid roster moves.
Get me a legit coach. Period…don’t care about flash and splash…just a hard nosed legit, defensive minded coach that will fix the discipline problems and get this team back on track.
this team is fundamentally broken
December 18th, 2011 at 5:51 pm
How much is Routt the PI magnet getting paid this year? I forget.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:51 pm
hue left 5 possible points on the board and fugged the season. he shouldve ran on 3rd and 3. bush was running well and he went away from him. he couldve ran on the 4th and 1 if he wanted to go for it. shouldve taken the the fg. palmer missed 2 tds and took a sack when he had bush over the middle. he fugged us just as much. bottline is hue is a fraud. he talks tough but backs out. run the damn ball in short yardage. he wants a bully but gets fancy. what a way to give your oline confidence by passing. hue needs to manage the game more than his qbs. he is an erratic coach so his team is erratic.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:51 pm
All we need was for M. Bush to run the ball.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:51 pm

Someone has to ask him the reasons why it was the right thing to do.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:51 pm
Also why does every Dc on every team but ours know to double CJ that’s on Bres you don’t let their best player beat you. You try your hardest to take him out of the game and make the other players beat you
December 18th, 2011 at 5:51 pm
Hue Jackson is crap. The Raiders are in the same place they were in the sixties. They need to find a man with a plan and turn this around.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:52 pm
Actually,18,that is on Chaz.He got 2 hands on the ball.It might have been a tough catch,but it was a catch he should make.Other teams receivers make them.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:52 pm
Take the 3 early?
Go for 2 on last TD?
Let Seabass kick the 64 yarder on the 2nd to last possession instead of punting? Guarantee if he gets two shots at that kick, he makes one of them. Take the risk and try to seal it there.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:52 pm

Gotta clean house and take the hit. Fill the roster with undrafted free agents next year…clear out the roster dollars…which are a waste anyways….and start rebuilding the defense.
Its going to take time…but a real coach with a real scheme can get it back faster
And on offense, a playcaller that respects the game and takes the points will be better than this Madden Football shhhhhh..

DVD got in the game just long enough to give up an easy TD.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:55 pm
the fugged up part was that he couldve setup a deep pass later on. run with bush on 3rd and 3 and try to get closer to fg range. go for the td around the 25-30 yard line so u can atleast kick a fg if u miss the throw. palmer overthrew chaz. chaz stretched out for it and it went off his finger tips. palmer needs to throw that better. dont let palmer off the hook. he had 2 huge bad throws 2day.

The officials.. I know, I know but there were bad calls against us and non-calls in their favor.. NFL officating IS BIASED AGAINST THE RAIDERS
Hue.. your ego is killing us.. TAKE THE POINTS
Palmer.. up and down.. missed DWOW, missed schillens..
Defense.. good, except when it counted
There was just the hottest Raider fan here in my room saying how bummed she is, Her man is here too, we are all going to drink ourselves stupid. We are still in it.. CODE BLACK protocols remain in effect..
December 18th, 2011 at 5:57 pm
Palmer played well, but still left a TD and that last sack was the play of a rookie QB and not a seasoned vet.
Just huck it out of bounds and save the TO.
This team has no concept of what is winning football and it starts at the top.
Go for it on 4th and 1 in the first quarter? Throwing deep at the end of the game with a lead?
Not winning, playoff-level NFL football.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:57 pm
And Palmer is more at fault then Hue. The two throws he should have had and you absolutely cannot take a sack when he took it you have to throw that ball away
December 18th, 2011 at 5:57 pm
jacoby ford makes that catch and takes it to the house.
hue didnt lose this game. hue didnt cost us this season.
we’re all in pain….including hue, trask, and the rest of the organization.
remember how bad we were in the 90’s? it took two consecutive 8-8 seasons before chucky had us as an elite team.
y’all know damn well that with some health, we’d be an 11 win team this year.
many things didnt go our way today. an overthrown ball here, a try-too-hard fumble there, and a fluke blocked fg because of a rare poor snap….
….yet somehow its palmer and hue’s fault. riiiiight.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:57 pm
Thought the team as a whole played pretty hard today. This one should not have been lost in the last few minutes. If the 10 percent of the defensive plays that result in long gains could be eliminated… well, IF!! It will take some major changes on defense to eliminate those.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:58 pm
Who’s balls do I have to wash for the Raiders to make it to the mother effen playoffs?????? How the eff do we lose this one?????
December 18th, 2011 at 5:58 pm
Chaz got fingertips on the ball. He catches a good pass in stride. A running play burns up more than the 39 seconds the Lions left on the clock. We lost by a point. Go for the two-point conversion. Hue is completely out of his element. Assistant position coach at best.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:58 pm
HOW EXACTLY IS THIS HUE’S FAULT?
1. Moore was open, Palmer just missed him. It was the right call.
2. The Boyd “defenseless” block call was BS and you all know it.
3. DHB fumbles while having a career day. There’s another 6 pts we lost out on.
4. Shilens was wide open, another missed throw by a QB that was pretty much lights out all day. Again, proper call that should have gone for 6.
5. Jano makes that kick if the snap is right. Again, how is that Hue’s fault?
This lose is not Hue’s fault. We left 24 pts out there due to a lack of execution. We simply found a way to lose. But not because of the play calling.
The fact that we arent in 1st in the division is because we gave away the Buffalo game (Chris Johnson)…McFadden is hurt….Ford is hurt….and Moore has been hurt most the year.
Players make plays, and players lose games when they dont make plays. End of story.
December 18th, 2011 at 5:59 pm

Hue, I love you, but this one’s on you buddy.
- You go up 12 with about 7 minutes to go. Why the hell do you not go for 2 there? Why would you not try to make it a two TD game in that spot. MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. Terrible, terrible mistake. Completely blown by the coaching staff.
- I’m all for throwing to get a first down and put the game away on 3rd and 5. I like to play to win. But how about a high percentage 5-10 yard pass play if you’re going to do that. What’s the sense in throwing a low percentage 50 yard rainbow in that spot? Idiotic.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:01 pm
Hue was right though Moore did have illegal hands called on him on that 1st quarter play.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:01 pm
Hey Hue this is not a Madden football video game. 4th down field goal range take the points (even though it is not fan favorite not to). Dont care if play almost worked at least go for a more manageable short yardage play. And thank you DHB you had a nice game taken away by a game altering season altering play. Have fun at X-mas and gear up for next year.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:01 pm
Can anyone tell me why Romac and Boyd were covering Calvin Johnson on that long ball? WTF did Bresnehan call?!

December 18th, 2011 at 6:03 pm
Lefty you can’t blame that play on Chaz. At least no more than Palmer at the very least they are equally at fault. I still blame it more on Carson because if he puts a little more touch on it game over. He also should have had that TD to Moore

yep…32 of 40. and two were spikes. and one was dropped. and three others the wr’s got both hands on.

and people say palmer is average. unreal.

Da Trinity – thanks for instilling some truth. Can you believe these clowns blaming a 113 QB rating performance for the loss. Absolutely hilarious. Not to mention the fact that Chaz got 2 hands on that ball.
*************
If Chaz just runs under the ball instead of diving thats 6. That was ridiculous.
Chuck Bresnehan should be fired today. Inexcusable to have Rolando McClain and Jerome Boyd covering Megatron deep middle. AWFUL play calling allows for a 99 yard drive. Awful execution by McClain to get his ankles broken by a goddamn quarterback.
I love how you guys are blaming Hue for the play calling. Listen 3rd and 3 he calls a pass that has 1 WR streaking, Palmer could have dumped it, but he threw it to the OPEN RECEIVER! How is that a bad play call? All you fake ass fans can go root for someone else cuz Hue is here to stay.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:04 pm
Kudos’ to the semi-pro’s for calling out the lack of going for two.
I was so pumped after the TD, I really didn’t notice it.
Only difference, I was 7 cocktails deep and not gettin paid.
Hue was sober and receiving close to six figures for his “decisions”.
Epic fail
December 18th, 2011 at 6:05 pm
fugg coverin up for palmer. if jc missed those throws yall would talk major sh!t. palmer missed the same money throws campbell missed and we cant say sh1t? i blame hue for not managing the game and atleast allowing palmer the chance to make that throw closer in fg range to save his azz in case he misses the throw. fugg qb ratings. did he win the game? hell no

anyway .. any ideas ona new defensive co ?
December 18th, 2011 at 6:06 pm
I think every single win we’ve had this year has basically come down to the defense on the field inside the last two or so minutes in a spot where the opponent can win or tie the game. Finally caught up to us today.
This week when Hue takes “full responsibility” it won’t or shouldn’t be just lip service like all the other times. This one is on him.

December 18th, 2011 at 6:06 pm
We need Al back as our d. coordinator man.. ever since he left things have gotten progressively worse on defense. No wonder he was so hands on, can’t trust these loony toons of a personnel group.

December 18th, 2011 at 6:07 pm
I want to see Jason Campbell out there practicing this week. Let him get out there and play next Sunday. We keep losing with Carson Palmer.
We’ve lost 5 out of 8 games with Palmer. Campbell had the team at 4-2 before he got the collarbone injury.
Palmer’s QB rating is 70.8 while Campbell’s was a solid 84.2 before the injury.
Jason’s collarbone should be nearly 100% healed by now. MAKE JASON CAMPBELL THE STARTER NEXT WEEK !!
December 18th, 2011 at 6:07 pm
I’m all for throwing to get a first down and put the game away on 3rd and 5. I like to play to win. But how about a high percentage 5-10 yard pass play if you’re going to do that. What’s the sense in throwing a low percentage 50 yard rainbow in that spot? Idiotic.
************
Was Chaz the only receiver on the field? Nope. Was Chaz WIDE OPEN? Yes. If Chaz doesnt dive and just runs under the ball like a goddamn receiver is supposed to game over.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:08 pm
7-9 guaranteed. That’s what we should all wish for. At least then there will be a chance the mangement cleans house, starting with Hue.
Go get a bikini wax Hue. You are a LOSER.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:08 pm
Woohoooooo Chuck B shows his ugly face again by blowing a 2 TD lead in the 4th!
Bye bye Chuck B it must have been nice not doubling Megatron most of the game and being stubborn and thinking you can cover him one on one in critical situations?
Hue is to blame for some also….but if Huey stays, him and the new GM need to FIRE Chuck B and get a REAL D Coordinator if this team is going to go anywhere!
December 18th, 2011 at 6:09 pm
romac on cj is just down rigth ignant. nobody would call for that except for bresnahan. i still dont like how e cant score td’s in the 3rd qtr. this offense never puts a game away. a big part for that is hue. goes away from the running game when its finally working. that isnt aggressiveness thats just arrogance. arrogance our team cant afford. if hue gets fired i wont be mad. u dont put your team in that position.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:09 pm

Would a , should a , could a… Knock it off. This game was blown by the DEFENSE. End of story. End of argument.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:09 pm
Press on fans and Nation: do not dispair. Actually our past 3 losses is the best thing that could happen. Hopefully we’ll lose our last two games and be 7 and 9. Understand that Al Davis was a raving maniac, flush with dementia for the past 20 years. He should have been thrown out of league after our last Super Bowl win in 1983 once he figured out winning lawsuits was more lucrative than winning football games. Except for the Gruden anamoly the Raiders have been total losers since 1983. For those among us who believe Al was a genius consider this: who would fire Gruden only to allow Gruden to transfer to the Bucs, so that he could beat us in the 2002 Super Bowl? That’s no genius, it’s jackass. Just remember we are experiencing the bad fruit of Big AL’s helmsmanship over the team. Hopefully, this season will expose the futility of it all. Hue, as Al’s pick for head coach, must go. He is far too unintelligent to be a head coach. Of course Chuckie has to go in favor of a real DC and at least 50 of the current players on roster must be cut and/or traded, including Darren McFadden who can’t produce because of serial foot injuries, and who has never produced while playing top tier teams.
Our message to Amy and Mark: go forth boldly; hire a brilliant GM, head coach and DC, give them autonomous power and let the Raiders flourish.
And any thought of retaining Hue ? He is a black pimp, huckster, snakeoil salesman disguised as a head coach in the NFL.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
ONLY the Raiders could choke away a game like this.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
This team loses too many games due to “insert excuse”
The roster on defense needs to be overhauled.
Hue has been unable to instill discipline and his playcalling is very risk overloaded.
I don’t care if its the players (replace them) or the coach (replace them)….this team needs a big time overhaul and not just a tune up.
Get a legit coach that doesn’t lead the league in penalties every freekn year…get a coach that the Raiders have to compete for.
Let’s follow the script on this one.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:10 pm

Seriously? Your guys’ takeaway from that game is that it’s on Carson Palmer? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard all week.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:12 pm
Big time players make big plays when it counts.
I don’t care what Palmers #’s were. When it was on the line..he failed. Period.
THEN, the defense do what they do EVERY F’ING TIME.
Let a team drive down the field NO MATTER HOW FAR THEY HAVE TO GO at the end.

Too bad that Jano kick was deflected. Would’ve loved to see that one get a real ride.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:13 pm
If Hue Jackson gets fired, I think the Raiders should try to get Jeff Fisher … the former Tennessee Titans head coach. Jeff did pretty well with the Titans and coached there a long time.
He grew in in L.A. and went to USC so he might be fired up about going back to Cali and coaching the Raiders.

Here is the deal with the Raiders.
Other teams have players that come up in money time. Like Stafford and CJ.
The Raiders money players don’t do shhhhhhh….flash a play here and there…and wow you with an occasional play.
But when you look at that scoreboard…its all the same.
And with all the holes and no picks….disgraceful

The last time we had a top 5 defense Willie Shaw was the D Coordinator. I don’t think he wants the job.
Del Rio would be great, maybe he still thinks he’s a HC material.
I wouldn’t mind bringing in Teryl Austin or Roy Anderson from Baltimore.
I know one thing Dorian, WTF is Hue Jackson’s fate? I think he talks out of his ass half the time bro, I mean is it me, maybe I’m a little phuked up, he’s not working out as a leader of men.

I can dispute that easily. Palmer threw to a wide open receiver and led him to the endzone. Chaz dove like a fvckin moron and got TWO HANDS on the ball and didnt make the catch.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:16 pm
For those of you clowns who want to fire Huey, tell me is there anyone better who is going to replace him??
The answer is probably no.
Chuck B needs to be replaced with a REAL DC, like Steve Spagnolo or Del Rio.
If Huey still messes up with a REAL DC running the D, then Huey deserves to get fired.
Changing head coaches every year is NOT a good thing!!

palmer and hue along with the defense deserve blame. if he was elite he doesnt miss both throws.just make 1 and its over. i knew the defense would fugg up. that goes without saying. im really sick of this team not putting teams away on offense. we need to score 40 so we dont have to worry about our defense. a 13 point lead with 6 minutes left isnt safe. that is just disgusting.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:19 pm
Only problem I had with Routt all game was that last PI. I dont get why he would hold on that long, even if he gave up the td atleast we would have had more time to work with.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:19 pm
just disappointment. Probably the worst lose in the last few years, just because of the playoff implications.
Reasons why we lost:
1. Bresh is the WORST DC in the league… All they did was hide Calvin Johnson in the slot and his idiotic ass, couldn’t adjust.
2. Boyd ( for obvious reasons) he needs to go and take Giardonio with him.
3. Hue jackson. as much hate as he gets on here, the PLAYERS NEED TO MAKE

youre an idiot.
we were 4-2 cause we had the leading rusher in the league. our secondary was healthy. and our starting WR’s were DHB and Moore.
CP3 puts up huge numbers when he has Moore, DHB, and Ford in the lineup.
Fools, all of you.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:20 pm
Hue is a complete joke, so firing him would be a good idea. Once he gets fired, he’ll never be a head coach in this league again.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:20 pm
The Raiders practices need to last 3 min each on Wed, Thurs, and Friday. That’s all they need to work on. Nothing else they’re doing is working anyway in practice. Intensity my A55. Just go out to the practice field those days, put 3 minutes on the clock, when it runs out, go home.
Chuck B can go back in and finish his corn beef hash sandwich. Hue can go get his nails done.

4-2 then no McFadden….Ford Moore etc

I’ll throw out Jeff Fisher’s name right now. Get me a defensive guy and let him keep Saunders around if he wants “continuity”
Although an offense that is based on the the health of DMAC is a little shaky don’t you think?
December 18th, 2011 at 6:21 pm
With the Patriots winning…ESPN will boldly brag about them being the best Team in the NFL history or best team that ever exsisted! My goodness I hate the way they worship the Patriots…with a passion. That’s one reason I don’t watch ESPN because of the way they praise the Patriots.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:21 pm
Again another flippin lose!!!! On top of that idiot Palmer lokking to the wrong man down field! Had two open players to dump the ball to. Hue, what the flip were you thinking bring that loser crybaby here!!! The flippin’ defense rest on its laurels again and again, to many stupid penalties again on the team and fault Hue for the last four loses!! Don’t the players get it by now!!! Let the team recoup the money for stupid penalties the players commit and fine them steeply. Get rid of Palmer, now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Hue kicks that field goal 1st quarter instead of going for it on 4th down we win this game!
December 18th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
Hue Jackson is an idiot. There was nothing to gain by going for 1 point after last TD. The only call is to go for 2 with that amount of time left. Also, not taking the Field Goal early in the game was stupid, not the reason we lost but stupid. And finally, Breshnahan should be fired today, not after the season ends. How do you lgive up 2 TD’s in final 5 + minutes and let them drive 98 yds for game winner.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
Why does Chuck B go cover 2 when he should know they need a TD!!
How about rolling some coverage to their best play maker CJ and blitz McClain up the middle and then putting the outside LB’s to roam the middle of the field.
Or why not call a backside corner blitz?
December 18th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
if hue gets fired,……nothing. its not going to happen. since when does a rookie coach , that loses his starting QB, RB and WR get fired. Please enough of that talk
Hue made some mistakes that hurt, but he’s still the best coach we’ve had since Gruden. Give him time
December 18th, 2011 at 6:23 pm
I am tired of the excuses. This is a bad team
December 18th, 2011 at 6:23 pm
I can’t even stay in here. You guys pinning this one on Palmer is
The guy completes 80% of his passes for better than 9 yards per attempt. And you are trying to tell me if Campbell were playing we would’ve won.
You guys are so, so, so, so, so stupid. Or you’re trolls and I’m stupidly falling for it. Either way, I’m so f-ing pissed about this one I can’t stand to rehash it anymore.
Guys played hard, deserved to win this one. Coaching errors and a bunch of plays that almost were, but weren’t doomed us. We’re probably finished. And we probably would’ve gotten in if we had won.
Awful loss. Maybe the worst I’ve seen since the Super Bowl. Probably the most heart-breaking since the Tuck Rule game considering what was on the line.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:24 pm

Huey gambles too much when it he shouldn’t and he doesn’t gamble when he should.
That’s his problem and I can live with that.
However, I can’t accept a DEFENSE giving up the game winning two scores with 5 minutes left!
Unacceptable!! When it comes to down to it…Chuck B should be fired tomorrow, but he won’t fired until the after the season whether they make the playoffs or not!
Huey deserves a chance to stay with a REAL DC running the D!
December 18th, 2011 at 6:28 pm
Hey Chuck B I think we should go into the prevent D what do you think?
That’s a dandy idea, we looked pretty good in the scheme we been using all game but WTF lets try it and see. FREAKIN dumb ass. The mental toughness of this team is a joke
December 18th, 2011 at 6:28 pm
Again, not going for 2. Trying a 50-yard bomb when all you need is 5 yards to seal the deal. Awful decisions by Hue.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:28 pm
Hue did OK last year as the OC on another poorly coached team. The fact is, He’s no better of a head coach than Cable.
Maybe the players who rebelled at the decision to elevate Hue were right.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
Need to replace the interior of the D-Line, find a MLB, get safety help and probably another cornerback or two.
On offense, need a running back, Right Guard, Right Tackle and Left Guard (move Wiz to center)…….
This team has a lot of holes and very little abilty to fix them.

You are really a half full type of person.. Weeks ago I called the season over – and predicted this total collapse – and you called me a pessimist. Please have a cup of coffee and wake up. Season is over – they made a good start – but have fallen by the waste side since losing Campbell and other players – 4-2 to start now 7-7 absolutely pathetic. And yes I have watched this team for a very long time – and unfortunately the funk hasn’t ended. 8-8 is best finish they will get, but given the landside they are on – more likely 7-9. Yet another year without a winning season – the pain continues

If you can’t get Fisher, then there is no point in hiring another head coach….again!

DaTruth,
CP cost this Raider team a 1st and a 2nd….I hope he plays better next year.
He was not worth what they paid.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:31 pm
Seymour and Kelly show up CHECK
Satele and Carlisle play well CHECK
Get Bush Running CHECK
Palmer not throwing INT’s CHECK
DHB have a big game CHECK
Curry have a good game CHECK
Dont turn teh ball over CHECK
Cut down on stupid penalties CHECK until 4th quarter
Great special teams play CHECK
What cost us today was poor coaching decisions
December 18th, 2011 at 6:31 pm
Romeo Crennel?? hahaha…I hope KC keeps him…he sucks!!
December 18th, 2011 at 6:32 pm

BEcause with Fisher…the lame penalties and stupidity would end…the scholarships would end….

This team is done. Cut our losses with Jackson and start from scratch.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:33 pm
Don’t go for two with 7 minutes left in the game to go up 14? Really? Why? Tell me why, Hugh? The only reason that makes sense, THE ONLY reason is that you think the Lions will score THREE times (2 FG’s and a TD to tie). There was NO RISK to go for two. NONE!!!! And the announcers are equally as pathetic not to mention it? And the joke reporter asks not one tough question to the team outside the locker room? This play was a microcosm of what Hue Jackson is all about. He simply doesn’t get it. Doesn’t get it. There are 20 other plays that can be pulled out just like this that shows Hue’s ignorance. What are the chances of Carson hitting Schillens? MUCH less than a simple screen or a Bush run for a first down and game is over.

I hate to tell everyone this,but this game isn’t a season killer,we still have hope,however slight it might be.

You are really a half full type of person.. Weeks ago I called the season over – and predicted this total collapse – and you called me a pessimist. Please have a cup of coffee and wake up. Season is over – they made a good start – but have fallen by the waste side since losing Campbell and other players – 4-2 to start now 7-7 absolutely pathetic. And yes I have watched this team for a very long time – and unfortunately the funk hasn’t ended. 8-8 is best finish they will get, but given the landside they are on – more likely 7-9. Yet another year without a winning season – the pain continues
————————-
You mean since losing McFadden and other players.
Can someone tell me how many times Jason Campbell attempted 40 throws, completed 80% of his passes for 367 yards in a game? I don’t think he’s had a game like that in his life.

December 18th, 2011 at 6:33 pm
Oh the horror of it all. I am so tired of getting punked in the last quarter. I have been a Raider for over 40 years and these last 10 have sucked worse than anything. We need to get a d minded coach and get some guys that have some discipline
December 18th, 2011 at 6:34 pm
Bring in Steve Spagnolo or Jack Del Rio as DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR!!
FIRE Chuck B as soon as the Raiders are eliminated from the playoffs!!
December 18th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
With the Broncos losing…we are not done yet. Most likely the Chargers will lose tonight too. Everything stays the same. It’s not over for us yet. I still have a little hope for the Raiders….even though they can make ya angry.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
Huey and Saunders offense score enough points on offense to win games!!
The DEFENSE needs a REAL Defensive Coordinator!!
December 18th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
To be fair to Carson Palmer, look who is running the show.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
Okay morons:
Head Coach: Hue Jackson is not going anywhere for the next few years. This coach has been given the reigns to the organization and he will be allowed to see his moves develop. I realize many of your earn minimum wage and do not understand how corporations work, but the “CEO” will not get axed by the board for being average with tremendous upside. He will continue to be aggressive and he will either live or die because of it. I agree that there are several problems with how he calls a game, but this is not changing soon.
Defensive Coordinator: Chuck B will be replaced now that Al Davis is not there to intimidate successful defensive coordinators/coaches from joining this previously perceived toxic management infrastructure. This will happen in 2012.
Quarterback: Carson Palmer is our QB for years to come. He is a good QB and has had only a few weeks to adjust to our team. Keep in mind that the receivers are still working on timing and are flat out just not very good. Regardless of what plays should or should not be run, he is responsible for execution not strategy.
RB’s: Raiders will successfully resign Bush and McFadden will continue to struggle with injuries next year. His return this year will not be enough…too little too late.
Defense: This is the major issue with the team. Even when a good formation is called the lack of talent in this group will continue to be an advantage to the other team. MLB Rolando McClain is just not good, but he will not be traded this early. Stanford Routt is not a great corner by any means, another bad investment also not going anywhere. The safeties are probably where we will see the most trades occurring. We need a decent corner and safety. Jerome Boyd is one of the worst players in the league, but that comes when you have a practice squad player because of injuries.
The long and short of it is this: WE WILL NOT SEE MAJOR PLAYER CHANGES ON THIS TEAM IN 2012. Thus, other than a new DC and hopeful modifications to Hue’s style, we are going to have to play with what we have. Seeing these fire HUE and get rid of our MLB are just typical uninformed forum posters. Save yourself some time and comment about how we can improve without major player changes, because its not happening.
Summary: Basically STFU about trading all of our players.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
God rest his soul, this loss is on Al Davis.
He set the team back three years by drafting J Syrup Russell over future
Hall of Framer, Calvin Johnson.
He refuses to pay up for a defensive coordinator and hires Coach a
Prevent Defense always results in a Lost Bresnahan.
SINGLE WORST DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR IN THE LEAGUE!!! How do you call a defense that puts your MLB in deep coverage on Calvin Johnson!?!?!?!? Bresnahan lost this game, not the players. The players weren’t put in a position to win based solely on play calling by the DC. Fire him TONIGHT!!!!! Promote the Defensive Line Coach.
Also, DHB has clearly developed into a starter in the NFL.

Yes not just Campbell – he was doing enough not to lose games- General injury plague.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
I guess Palmer could have checked out of the deep pass on 3rd and 3.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:37 pm
Hue definitely gets too cute for his own good sometimes. He sometimes takes aggressive to the point of reckless or even foolish. Like the Cleveland game earlier this year.
A field goal makes it a 3 score game and ends it. He goes for it, a few minutes later and they are lining up for an onsides kick and Raiders fans are gnawing on their finger nails…needlessly.
Today, he did it again. Should he have taken the early FG? Probably. The Raiders should have gotten a call there, though. The defender slipped and Moore was wide open for an easy TD. The defender grabbed him. Shoulda been PI. No contact after five yards, right? Billick pointed it it out. People in here say Palmer overthrew an open WR, but the guy was held. The zebras didn’t have the balls to make the obvious call.
I do have a bit of a problem with the late call by Hue. They could’ve slammed Bush into the line on 3rd and 2. Maybe they pick it up, maybe they don’t. They would have at least kept the clock moving. Probably the conventional, conservative call that most coaches would make.
Not Hue, He’s going for broke. The guy is ultra-aggressive. I have no problem with play action in that spot…but why go 40 yard downfield to Chaz?
They didn’t need a TD there, just a first down. Why not a shorter, safer..higher percentage pass…maybe to Boss? pick up the first down and ball game over.
Would’ve been a thing of beauty if it connected…and it just missed by inches.
I would’ve like to have seen a more high percentage route, myself.
But that’s not Hue’s style.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:37 pm
#295. Apparently, small things amuse small minds. Romeo Crennel beat Green Bay and you’re laughing at him? How’s Hue’s bikini wax look from your point of view?

Yes, I would because I was yelling “No, no, no” at the screen as soon as I saw Palmer winding up to launch it. Gotta call a high percentage play in that spot. Whether or not it works, is besides the point of whether or not it was a smart call.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:40 pm
I am going to try to be a little optimistic here. I can’t afford to be irate about this ( though part of me wants to be, it’s just a game.) Remember three years ago? Remember the last 8 years? In the instant gratification , I want it now culture we have become the Raiders are getting better. It’s been a long time that the Raiders name have even been mentioned as playoff contenders. This year has been a complete clusterf@ck and a rookie head coach to boot. I will still support this team. I’m in it for the long haul, even though they can make me want to through heavy objects around the room.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:42 pm
Any individual can attempt to lay blame on the players….It doesn’t pass the smell test…Allowing McClain to field pints and kickoffs cost this team precious garage today…Not kicking the field goal in the first half was typical of Huellywood and was predictable as it was several times this year…Not playing press man has killed this team this year with its attempted folly into zone coverages…Not thinking quick enough to realize that a 2 point conversion was a necessary option when the defense scored was unacceptable…Lastly, I said months ago that the lack of discipline was attributable to Huellywood’s coaching and this lack of discipline has cost the Raiders several games this year…The Curry penalty for excessive celebration was just another example of this…That 15 yards on the kickoff allowed them better field position…Seymour’s constant excused absences to Massachusetts are just a few of the many examples of this lack of leadership…Heads should roll and it needs to start at the TOP….PERIOD….
December 18th, 2011 at 6:42 pm
I told you two weeks ago that the Raiders played and coached as if they were stumbling for the exits and the dolts played as if making a run for the playoffs, well here it is folks.
The dolts beat Bmore big tonight, and will win out and take the AFC West, easy.

Don’t give up just yet Raiders fans. We still have a shot. Situations look dim but we can win our last 2 games. It’s not impossible.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:44 pm
When Al passed, Mark Davis became the man. I suspect that he listened to Hue. I hope he has realized that that was a big mistake.
Mark, find a young, up and coming GM and let him decide who the coaches will be, what free agents we will sign, what low round draftees can actually play.
It’s not going to be easy. If you can’t do it, then sell.

3rd down efficiency Lions 8-17 Raiders 1-9.
Our Defense has got to be able to get off of the field on 3rd down. We’ve been terrible on 3rd downs all year on defense. Chuck B. needs to go. On that same note, Hue needs to check his play calling. Hue may get a pass due to being a Rookie Head coach, but Chuck B needs to warm up his U Haul.
December 18th, 2011 at 6:50 pm
this are the stupid damn coaching calls that cost the game. not going for the sure the points on fourth down and going for that bomb and 3 and 2. he done gambled the playoff away. a bush run, a half back toss, a short pass to a Tight end, anything but a lower percentage bomb play!

sometimes, you just got to go with your bread and butter and play with what got you a chance to win, even if it means sticking with man to man with a deep safety or something. the defense played good enough to win until the end, the players did not dive or try to swat those rainbows down… that was on them… its not all on chuck B. it was hues bonehead gambles. i am starting to think we need chucky gruden again

December 18th, 2011 at 6:54 pm
RoMac. That dude ought to be ashamed of himself, as well. 4th and two…backed up to their own goal line. He’s got a clean shot on a scrambling Mathew Stafford….he completely whiffed. You’ve got to be kidding me. He made that kid look like Mike Vick or something. Getting juked like that. Pitiful.
He had a shot to end the game right there. He had a shot short of the first down…and just like the rest of that defense in the last five minutes….pizzed down his own leg.
Does anybody envision Ray Lewis or Patrick Willis whiffing like that? Weak sauce.
Dude has to step up, and make that play.

I agree. A lower percentage pass play should have been called to convert a first down. I can accept Huey gambling to try and win and close out a game on offense.

Get a REAL D Coordinator to turn the defense around and help close two TD leads with 5 minutes left in a freeakin game and then we can judge Huey after that!

December 18th, 2011 at 7:00 pm
2 hours later I am in shock. I really believe we need to get rid of the whole defensive staff. Hue can grow into the job with the right guidance. We need a strong GM to put the hammer down on him. Two years ago we were clamoring for a .500 football team. Now we need a winner. Go back and look at Grudens first two years. We found two different ways to get to 8-8 and then exploded to 12-4. A few more changes with loss of Chuckie B and we have a real shot. Players killed us at the end but B killed us with poor schemes and conservative play calling through out. We have 2 games left hopefully we can improve on today’s performance and find ways to win instead of lose. F…k I hate losing this sucks.

I have to admit though. If the Raiders lose the next two game…Huey may just wind up being on the hot seat with a new GM being hired.
The only way they should consider firing Huey is if they lose the next two games….badly.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:03 pm
Lefty is correct regarding that play…It was perfectly timed and missed by the narrowest of margins..Plays can be criticized for their timing or execution but you have to take points and that should have been learned in the Cleveland game….

December 18th, 2011 at 7:04 pm
Hue finally did it. Never thought he would, but he finally cracked. Usually he doesn’t call out players/staff, but tody he did. In the presser he said the defense blew it. You can tell he is fed up with Bres and his sub par performance.
See ya Chuck.

That is a BIG IF though buddy!
December 18th, 2011 at 7:09 pm
Hue was upset that Chaz didnt make that play in his press conference, but this game was lost due to his decisions. his 4th and 1 decision, his 3rd and 4 bomb playcall when all we needed was 1 first down to win the game, and to me the biggest head scratcher is not going for 2. with 6 minutes left to play what is the downside if we didnt convert and we are only up 12 instead of 13. in my book, no difference, but converting the 2 guarantees OT..Hue defends not going for 2 as he said it wasnt the time to go for two..John madden was at the game, i would really love his opinion on Hue’s performance
December 18th, 2011 at 7:09 pm
Prevent defense prevents you from winning!
Bresnecrap is history.
Depressing. Very depressing to lose in this fashion just like the Bills game.
Decision to throw at 3rd and 3 was baffling and so was the decision to throw in end Zone instead of kicking an easy FG. Rookie HC calls.
Very depressing loss. Now demoralized this team will march and win a meaningless game out of the remaining two games and finish at 8-8. No progress from last year.
DMC is done by the way at least for the year maybe more.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:09 pm

This is one game I am glad I did not see from start to finish.
I guess the fourth quarter painted enough of the picture for me.
We have a very bad defense and coordinator. A prevent defense really? We laid back and let Stafford have his way man.
Why was McClain checking Calvin Johnson in the deep thirds of the field? What was Boyd doing in the red zone? Never looked back once at the WR easy call to make.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:11 pm
Nope…going with a rookie head coach to replace Huey would be a waste of time.
Hue is a rookie head coach and some of u would replace him with another rookie head coach?? Waste of time!
Get Jeff Fisher, Cowher or Gruden or just stick with Hue, fire Chuck B and get Hue a REAL DC like Spagnolo or Del Rio!
December 18th, 2011 at 7:11 pm
Why would anyone be happy about the outcome today? I am certainly not the devil…

i dont understand why branch didnt return another kick after his 70 yarder. we need some juice back there and he returned kicks in college.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:14 pm
It can’t be forgotten that there is but one head coach…If the DC is a problem and one could safely assume that, then adjustments should have been made…They have clearly NOT…So to hang DC for crimes against football, there should be another body….or 2 swinging in the wind….
December 18th, 2011 at 7:15 pm
I am done trying to figure this stuff out. The reason I want change is because we always find ourselves trying to bring reason to insanity.
Falling behind 30 points at half time in back to back weeks (Dolphins?)
Leading the league in penalties of all kinds
Blowing major leads in Baltimore
Getting shutout against K.C…
giving up 300 yards to Denver..a team that had no passing game to think of.
Nope….I am done with this mess….get me a coach that will get this team to normal. Won’t have MLBs covering the best receiver in football….will take the points on 4th and 1 from the 30….call a basic scheme….
December 18th, 2011 at 7:15 pm
our secondary is really committed to support Al Davis philosophy. everytime they play zone its a joke how open receivers are. MM and boyd are horrible in deep coverage assignments in zone, and the middle of the field is wide open. I dont care how good megatron is, but 213 yds receiving is absurb and should never of happened.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:15 pm
Not Baltimore…..blowing major leads in “Buffalo”
December 18th, 2011 at 7:15 pm
Plain & simple; the day after the season ends Carson Palmer knock on Brandon Lloyd’s door & says, “Oakland’s the place you gotta be. So they loaded up & headed towards the sea (Pacific Ocean). . .
A legitimate, polished #1 WR. I bet he’d love to stick it to Denver. . .and allow Moore to become a well rounded WR, Ford to develop a notch below & someone please show Louis Murphy the “Wizard of OZ” Dude’s the Tinman.
It just seemed like a hollow 32 for 40 for palmer. Of course the Zebra missed the hold on Detroit on the 4th & 1 gamble early on. . .it’s just the consistent loosing of focus late in the contest that bothers me. They’re young but other teams fight through that. . .It’s gotta be discipline & the head guy is directly responsible for that.
They say a team takes on the personality of it’s head coach. Well, Hue, mission accomplished. . .the Raiders are all over the place, just like their head coach. . .
December 18th, 2011 at 7:16 pm
Antispy,
I actually like how DHB’s game is rounding out. A full offseason with a LEGIT COACH will probably put the kid over the top

December 18th, 2011 at 7:18 pm
As a lone raider fan here in ohio, I hatd the palmer deal knew what we were getting. Hue’s got to go. Chuckie B gtta go. My 14 year daughter said it best when in first quarter we went for 4th instead of kicking fg, “dad, that was stupid, why not get 3? that will come back to hurt us” maybe she should b coach!
December 18th, 2011 at 7:18 pm
Almond, it was a question of preserving his energy…Branch plays hard and played a ton of snaps…It was important to keep him fresh as he is undoubtedly the best defender…I question more not recognizing that McCann was and has been capable of fumbling and either correcting that pe replace him…Him not fielding pints cost us yardage today and other games…

Hue finally did it. Never thought he would, but he finally cracked. Usually he doesn’t call out players/staff, but tody he did. In the presser he said the defense blew it. You can tell he is fed up with Bres and his sub par performance.
See ya Chuck.

Where do you go for the presser?
It’s about time Hue said something that was the truth.
I am in the final stages of my venting and then that’s it.
Shame on me for believing in this team. I guess I knew all along they’d find a way to choke away the season but even in my wildest Raider nightmares id i imagine thme giving up a 98 td drive with the season oon the line…at home.
Just when u think they can’t choke it away any worse you get ….today.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:18 pm
I will use Tim Brown’s line that he use to always say about Philip Buchanon. “DHB giveth and DHB taketh away!”
DHB seems like a pretty humble kid but he got to cute out there and it cost us the game.
The play calling in the last 40 seconds of the game was on the money. You can blame Hue, Sanders or Palmer for that. DHB decides to be DHB of old and catch with his pads and do the clap hands. Every WR knows they teach you to catch away from your body and pull the ball to you. He still does not have enough confidence in his hands. Palmer hit him in his numbers. We really needed that play. The fumble earlier by DHB also killed us.

If he’d gone to a popular bar or restaurant, partly to get attention, as most people who go to such places to do, would you have a problem with it? Sounds sexist and perhaps even homophobic. He can’t watch film 24/7. He’s entitled to a private life.

They are not going to replace hue this year. Waste of time for thinking they are. He should have kicked a field goal, but it is more than that.
This team has been a position to win. They just have to execute. Hue can’t catch for the guys, hecan’t protect the football so they don’t fumble. But what he can do is replace that BS of a defense.
Coordinator and prevent defense has to go.

December 18th, 2011 at 7:25 pm
Huey, Saunders and Palmer are trying to close out the game so the defense doesn’t have to. Chaz should have caught that ball!
The DEFENSE sucks azzzzzzzz! There is no way, a better DC than Chuck B allows this defense to play like this in critical situations..
December 18th, 2011 at 7:26 pm
The reason tomorrow will be = Coach Hue saying, This ones on me! This was a total breakdown of a good team led by Idiots. Period. Break this team down, bring in compentent personel, rebuild the COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE. Do it for Al!
December 18th, 2011 at 7:26 pm
Fire Hue? For who? Fix D and give Palmer some weapons that he can build some chemistry with and we fix Oakland. All is not lost. Next year WILL be better. Give it time. What else have we got to lose? I never realistically saw us making the Super Bowl this year, anyways. If NOTHING changes in the offseason…THEN we have a problem.
They looked better today than they did the last two games, but overall still are not consistent.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
The great Sandusky44 shows up only after a loss to prod the wounded fans and act like a expert on all things Raider.

dont trip autopalm77. yeah i know it would be a wear on him returning kicks. just shows how much we need ford back. huellywood as u call him is to blame. the calls were good calls but they hardly work. i wish he would play it better than he does. when we are in fg range im all for it. it allows u to be risky but its a calculated risk.

Plain and simple. Hue major weapons on offense have been hurt most the season. The Defense has blown too many leads, get a better DC and the Raiders win more games!!
Old man Al screwed up when he drafted Russell ahead of Calvin Johnson.

Firing Hue’s an option. I hope they don’t do it. I don’t think the late season collapse is his fault. But if they do, the field’s wide open for a big name HC, with Al now out of the picture.

Agree…we need need consistency in our leadership. It’s much easier to fix the kinks in Hue’s philosophy than it is to totally toss the entire system. It’s not productive and irrational.

If they hire a DC minded head coach, than that means the offense starts all over again with new terminology and a new system.

December 18th, 2011 at 7:31 pm
lefty
i have a problem with us not scoring tds in the 3rd qtr. i also have a problem with hue going away from the run when it was finally taking over. why even pass on 3rd and 3? just be patient and maybe u get an easier throw later. palmer taking that sack was huge. he had bush right away for a 1rst down and looked down field. he cant make that mistake.fugg his yards make the plays when it counts and he didnt. he overthrew chaz and moore. i blame hue as much as him tho.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:32 pm
But S & B, DHB will never possess Lloyd’s all around game. And name another receiver who consistently makes circus catches? He reminds me of Chris Carter. If you see the ball going his way in single coverage it’s a catch. And, if Moore & Ford play the way I think they will, you won’t be able to double up on anyone. . .instant nightmare. . .
I was hoping for a semblance this year. . .
And don’t forget Palmer’s reaction to the body catches & drops DHB had last week @ Lambeau. . .that’s hardly comforting for a potential (never happen) #1 WR. . .
I was pointing out Moore to friends b4 last year’s draft. His innate ability to snatch the ball out of the air, acceleration in & out of his cuts, vertacialty to the highest point of the catch & ability to make people miss are world class. DHB will never posess those skills His nom de combat is he runs fast. Plus size & a strong work ethic. But he can’t snatch & grab & he can’t track the downfield ball to save his life. . .
Usually this time of the year I’m talking about WR’s I like in the college ranks. . .but since the Raiders effectively mortgaged their short term future for a (legitimate) NFL playoff gunslinger behind center; it just stings because all the pieces are around. Some of them are injured, but this would be the newest greatest show on turf. . .all on the damaged appendage of DMAC. . .

I agree that Chuck B. is garbage, but at the same time look at what he’s working with. The problem is talent and the fact we don’t have any on D. I’m watching this Raven/Charger game, we don’t have one player on defense the would start on the Ravens.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:35 pm
This team is killing me.
Blame whoever you want for this debacle and choke job or whatever you wanna call it. The fact is this team needs a major overhaul especially on defense. Could they do it? Looking at AD’s track record over past decade for making appropriate changes you know he couldn’t do it. Mark Davis better hire someone w a resume and pray.
IMO management will give another year to Hue no matter what fans say about him. Even AD gave Cable a second year despite his despise for him.
Losing like this hurts.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:35 pm
dknight7 the offense doesnt score enuff points to win games. we leave alot out on the field. if u know u have a sh!tty defense then u have to score alot of points. we dont so we lose more than we should. this is why hue cant leave points on the board. if he takes a risk then it needs to be more of a calculated risk. it is a mistake to leave it up to this defense to win a game for u. that is a coaching error. he’s made several of them.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:36 pm
All you hue bashers need to get the f@ck outta here if carson hits those two passes which were wide open you all would be on his nuts now so either know something about the game or get the hell out tired of all you banwagon fans who ride our nuts when we win and when we lose you come in here with all your kneejerk reactions talkin a bunch of BS. All our playmakers are hurt and we have the worst D coord in the league that’s why we lose period.

December 18th, 2011 at 7:36 pm
Palmer misses wide open guys..one in particular could have won the game and it’s Hues fault?
If u can’t trust your “elite” qb to make a play then you’re screwed.
I don’t care if Plamer threw for 700 yds. He choked when it counted most.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:37 pm
what a devastating loss when the raiders could have been in 1st place.
this one hurtd bad. its the type of game that warrants big chsnges to the team
1-new DC
2-fix the whole D
3-new GM
4-find a running back that’s durable.
this was probably the season…

December 18th, 2011 at 7:38 pm
Auto,I almost went through the screen when he didn’t kick the FG.As Madden used to say-take the points,especially that early in the game.We should have gone for 2.But even with those decisions we should have won the game if the defense did their job.Players don’t make every play.Coaches make decisions that sometimes don’t work.That is part of the game.But,when you are in the position we were in today,even with those bad decisions and a couple of missed plays on offense,we should have won the game.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:39 pm
Im happy to have Palmer as the Raiders quarterback and I think next year, the Raiders will improve alot with him. Defense is the problem and until the Raiders decide on a defense the problem will exsist. Pick a 3-4 or 4-3, draft and pick up players in free agency who can play that defense. Get a coach who is an expert at that defense and then build on this consept. As for today zone should be completely taken out of the defensive game plan. Are defense is not ready for zone.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:39 pm

I wldnt b so sure about palmer pre med mike, I live close to cincy and used to b forced to watch him every week he was no way worth what we gave up. could’ve used the picks to get a real mlb and more help at corner! by the way, we should explore using pryor like donkeys use tebow. hes just as big, faster and put him in a spread (like he ran at osu) with bush, jones and a healthy mcfadden (if he ever could stay healthy) as an occasional chng of pace hed make tebow look like he running in cement!

Thats why Hue is gambling and going for it on that bomb to Chaz…to close it out!!
Chaz should have caught that ball and on that earlier play to Moore in the 1st quarter, it worked but the DB help D Moore and that should have been called a PI.
Offense can’t be expected to do it all…especially with DMC, Ford and T Jones out.
The Raiders offense is not as good as the Pats offense.
No rolling coverage over to help out whoever was covering CJ was simply stupidity on Chuck B’s part. The guy has no freakin clue how to run a defense appropriately or how to discipline them!

Quit rewriting history.Chaz should have caught the ball.If that had been DHB you’d be on here screaming about how he dropped it.Chaz actually dropped a couple of balls today.He isn’t the sure handed receiver we all thought he was.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:43 pm
Plenty of blame to go around for bringing us fans to a new low (as if we didn’t think we could get any lower):
Blame Al for: hiring Hue, hiring Tom Cable, hiring lane Kiffin, hiring Norv Turner, re-hiring Art Shell. Haven’t had a decent coach since Gruden. And let’s be honest, the main reason was because Al had become toxic and no decent coaches wanted to work for him.
Blame Hue for: the stupid Palmer trade and for not holding his players accountable for idiotic plays. Game management sucks. Bully? What bully? Do we ever just kick anybody’s a**?
Two horrible decisions by Hue today: not going for 2 points after the last touchdown (why not?-if we don’t convert-we lose by two instead of one, who cares). If we convert, we should be in OT with a chance. The Schilens’ pass on third down was dumb and how can he actually trust that POS defense?
Blame Palmer for not being clutch. I don’t care if you have 400 yards, you need to put the ball in Schilens hands(not diving)when he is wide open.
Who among us didn’t absolutely KNOW that the Lions would march down the the 98 yards and score. I knew it was over the minute the Lions had the ball on their own 2 yard line.
The Raiders are like the friggin’ scarecrow, tin man, and lion in the Wizard of Oz; No Brains, no Heart, no courage. I guess no playoffs.
There’s no effing way I watch the game on Saturday. Ain’t going to ruin my Christmas by watching this pathetic team. The wife doesn’t want to be around me when the Raiders CHOKE anyway.
Is there a more tortured fan base than the Raider Nation?
December 18th, 2011 at 7:43 pm
Hue is a rookie head coach…with his star player on offense hurt. He is going to make mistakes…but at least the guy has balls to try and close out games. If Palmer and Chaz can’t execute, than that is the way it is.
One thing is for certain.
Chuck B still SUCKS as the Defensive Coordinator and this has not changed since the preseason!!
December 18th, 2011 at 7:44 pm
I agree a little with 440. Next year I would like to see a little Pryor in the offense. Mix it up. I know for sure the Raiders will stick with Palmer next year and that’s smart. I really believe with an offseason with these recievers, this offense will be unstoppable. If Campbell is aloud back as the quarterback of this team, the Raiders will never win over 8 games.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:44 pm
@Anthonyraiders
What up man? Hope you’re good. Nice post.
Draft? Draft what? Al traded most of our draft, for a broken collarbone, 1 fumble recovery for a touchdown along with a myriad of dumb penalties and a Richard Seymour that looks, I don’t what, but he ain’t the Richard Seymour I remember from the other team he played for.
We have compensatory picks that really won’t help us much other than for depth purposes. The team’s lost. The HC is bewildering, I don’t know where along that Hue lost this club but he did lose them and we’re on the Titanic. I’m in a zone of confusion.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:44 pm
Palmer is not the problem, its mcfadden not being there. bush doesn’t scare defenses. and the wide receiver play is very basic stuff, that doesn’t scare defenses either
but this game was lost by that frigging raider secondary which got torched
December 18th, 2011 at 7:45 pm
I love watching McClain try to cover Johnson down the field. Who makes that call?
WTF is he doing covering the best WR in the deep thirds of the field? Not to mention McClain’s half @$$ attempt on the ball. What a scrub!
Our defense and coordinator are so bad it is amazing we made it this far.

dknight7 the offense doesnt score enuff points to win games. we leave alot out on the field. if u know u have a sh!tty defense then u have to score alot of points. we dont so we lose more than we should. this is why hue cant leave points on the board. if he takes a risk then it needs to be more of a calculated risk. it is a mistake to leave it up to this defense to win a game for u. that is a coaching error. he’s made several of them.
^^^^^^^^
Thats why Hue is gambling and going for it on that bomb to Chaz…to close it out!!
Chaz should have caught that ball and on that earlier play to Moore in the 1st quarter, it worked but the DB help D Moore and that should have been called a PI.
Offense can’t be expected to do it all…especially with DMC, Ford and T Jones out.
The Raiders offense is not as good as the Pats offense.
Not rolling coverage over to help out whoever was covering CJ was simply stupidity on Chuck B’s part. That should have been for most of the game!! The guy has no freakin clue how to run a defense appropriately or how to discipline them!
December 18th, 2011 at 7:45 pm
Raiders may finish BEHIND sd and Denver in the west.
Funny that NFLN was asking if this were a SB contender just a few weeks ago.
OMG.
This is a whole team loss. Palmer could have made it a moot point by hitting that wide open Schilens play, but then the defense did what we all KNEW they would do. They let the Lions go 98 freaking yards to win the game.
Good defenses don;t let that happen..at home with EVERYTHING on the line.
Not even AVERAGE D’s let that happen.
Unbeleievable choke job.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:46 pm
JT they got torched in a prevent defense. LMAO!!! Could they be more soft?
December 18th, 2011 at 7:46 pm
FIRE CHUKY B! what a piece of xit. Stanford Routt aint far behind. The D suxs, Mclain jogs on blitzes, wimbley can cover a TE if his life depenbded on it, The DTs play one game take 5 off, the CBs are plain zhit, the safeties are clueless…to top it all off CHUKY B has a mental handicap.
gotta score 30+ to win with this POS D
December 18th, 2011 at 7:46 pm
Lefty, AGREE, especially after the beauty by Lechler….WIN, LOSE OR TIE….RAIDER TILL I DIE….I had to go hammer my vette immediately after this one…..REALLY TOUGH TO SWALLOW….Hope Hendu saved me some vodka….!!!!

——————————————————-he left a possible 5 points on the board. a fg for jano in the 1rst qtr. not going for 2 on our last td.how about trying to get the 1rst down with the run while it was working.that way your defense wouldnt even have been on the field the final 2 minutes. the best way to protect the defense is to take the points and control the clock at the end of the game. he doesnt do that and it cost us.this aint the 1rst time he fugged up doin this.

What would next year first round draft pick be right now?
Top 12 or 15. Imagine if the Raiders gave that and the 2013 first, what would that get you? Carson Palmer? Are you kidding me?

@RaiderSean
I personally would love to see a 3-4 out of the Raiders. Hopefully we get a pick in the 3rd round for Asomough and with the rest of the picks Dline. Hopefully we get a gem. Free agency, pick up a NT for 3-4. Then we have Seymor on one side, Houston on the other. Outside LB Wimbley and Moss. Hopefully a replacement for Moss but thats what we have. Curry and McClain in the Middle. Get a 3-4 DC and that’s the only defense that makes sense to me.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:52 pm
Fingers, AGREE, always calling out a single play or player is not productive or an accurate way to assess a loss…When you don’t like a player one will always call them out no matter how he plays…

December 18th, 2011 at 7:56 pm
nice game by dhb. hate that he fumbled but he really played well. i have no idea why people talk about his body cathes when he has clearly made several hands catches. evey wr has some body catches. his dropped at the end actually saved palmers azz. if he caught it time wouldve ran out and jano wouldnt get a chance to win it. im really proud of him for the progress hes made. now i just wanna see him be more of a playmaker. 2 day was a good start.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:56 pm
How the fukk do you call a Cover 2 Zone when Johnson has killed you all game AND your down to your 4th string safety. (Boyd)
Defenses that run the Tampa 2 have good safeties, safeties that can run & cover, BUT EVEN THEN, they don’t use it in situations like that, it’s just too easy.
With God as my witness, when the Lions were down inside our 10, I said to my son that Stafford would run it into the end zone on the next play. The Lions call a timeout and when they came back to the line, the Raiders front had a huge gap right in the middle.
Keep Al Saunders, make him the OC and get rid of Hue Jackson & Chuck Bresnahan.
Stafford walks in.

Looks like DHB will actually be serviceable, all the hard work and pro-attitude has worked….Mclain on the other hand looks like he has fallen off the abyss, zero effort, lack of interest, PLUS He is slow! BUUUUUUST
December 18th, 2011 at 7:59 pm
4th qtr defense has looked confused and overwhelmed throughout the season. Opponents WRs have been wide open routinely on crucial drives. There have been some big stops too. Overall, there needs to be major improvements on D.
In all fairness, no one expected this team to be have clinched the west by week 15. 9-11 wins and a playoff bid was my barometer & its still in reach so…
GO RAIDERS
JUST WIN BABY!!!

Wow I was so hoping to not be looking forward to next year, this year. This was a very hard loss and now I find my mind in the future. One thing I know for sure, Chuck B has to go. I understand having a lack of quality players but mental lapses and players just not being in position, play in play out, is just horrible. He has know control over the defense and should be fired as soon as possible.
December 18th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
I agree with all who think chuckie and the d is the biggest problem, but Im telling you, carson palmer is the KING of the chokers! I promise you that if he is starting qb next year we miss playoffs again! At least with soup we knew we were a run first team and called plays accordingly! if we run 35+ plus times a game we keep our lousy d off the field and we wear theirs out!

Get Fisher and keep Saunders as the OC and hire Spags, or Del Rio as the DC……maaaaaybe.
If the Raiders lose the next two games, than Hue might be on the hot seat. If he wins out, than he probably won’t be.

I don’t care. They had a team down at their own 2 freaking yard line WITH NO TIMEOUTS with the season on the line and 2 mins left and they COULDN’T F’ING CLOSE IT OUT.
That is a choke job of major proportions. How can anyone accept that? Unless you really don’t care that much.

Soup could not have had the game Palmer had today, if he was in a wet dream with Jerry Rice and Tim Brown as his recievers. Soup is average at best. Never has he won a big game in his career. Soup is a one read QB, when that read is not there, He falls apart. Soup is good for 8 wins with McFadden and Bush healthy. 5 Wins with them hurt, if that. Give Palmer a year and I really believe he will win alot.

Oh jeez…the Niners have a LEGIT above average DEFENSE that helps that one dimensional offense out!!
If the Raiders had a good defense and a good defensive coordinator like the Niners have, they would have wrapped up the division by now!
December 18th, 2011 at 8:08 pm
Guys I need time to recover I hate our 4th quarter def I have no confidence in them we used to win games in the 4th quarter not lose them. I been saying bresnahan was bum ski for awhile but truthfully He was limited today by personnel Huff instead of Boyd and we when I like Hue but he makes some bad decisions Should take the points games aren’t won in the first quarter (Green Bay aside) but the play to Schilens how about putting Terrelle Pryor I and pitching it to him with a run pass option
December 18th, 2011 at 8:10 pm

December 18th, 2011 at 8:10 pm
I’m sorry but after this game today, I am really down on this whole organization.
Disappointed doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Too bad it’s the fans that care more about the team than the players.
They’re all smiles afterwords. Sure, they SAY how disappointed they are, but I don’t think it even scratches the surface of how miserable they made alot of the fans.
December 18th, 2011 at 8:10 pm
All you hue bashers need to get the f@ck outta here if carson hits those two passes which were wide open you all would be on his nuts now so either know something about the game or get the hell out tired of all you banwagon fans who ride our nuts when we win and when we lose you come in here with all your kneejerk reactions talkin a bunch of BS. All our playmakers are hurt and we have the worst D coord in the league that’s why we lose period.

Hue is 7-7 with the arrow pointed DOWN.
Cable was 8-8.
Hue is no better than Cable.
Save the fat jokes and someone give me some statistical backing for why that would not be true.
December 18th, 2011 at 8:14 pm
With no draft picks, only one way to get help for d. Trade dmac ( i hate to say it, love his talent but dude cant stay healthy,) and seymore (on the downside) and get a first and second use them on d and get a real hc (fisher, cower, reid, gruden) and real dc
December 18th, 2011 at 8:17 pm
I’m not saying Hue sucks as a HC, even though he hasn’t fixed one damn thing he said he would.
-Run D?- NOPE
-Penalties?-NOPE
How about those playoffs he promised?
I don’t think Hue sucks as a HC, but how is he a drastic improvement over Cable? He’s not. Doesn’t mean he sucks neccessarily.

ANY intelligent coach goes for two…period. Or, takes the pts. instead of going for it on 4th down.
Hue doesn’t even know the fundamentals.
December 18th, 2011 at 8:21 pm
I’m not saying that soup is the second coming of plunkett or stabler, but he wouldnt have thrown 3 or 4 picks in a game (think kc game or GB game)Palmer has never been the same since pittsburg broke his leg in 05. Hue wants to throw 30+ with palmer and he just doesn’t have it. Maybe with Hue gone, we wouldnt try that with palmer but one good STATISTICAL game does not a great qb make!
December 18th, 2011 at 8:25 pm
Awesome point Eastoaklandraider.
The Raider players these days go home to the there beautiful rich lives because the Raiders organization made it that way. Todays players come to the raiders for the money and not to win. Until that mindset changes and players come to the Raiders to make money and win, these problems will exsist. The Raiders need to decide the kind of team they are and base there team on that plan. We have a team with players out of position and coaches who should not be coaching. I like Hue. I want to see him prove himself and build a coaching staff and team around his ideas.
December 18th, 2011 at 8:29 pm

the raiders were running out the clock

we’re going to throw
and now he’s on the chopping block!

December 18th, 2011 at 8:29 pm
Statistics don’t make a quarterback but Soup’s 14 for 20, 165yds a game also is not going to win a championship. Soup has to have a great, great, great running game and an easy opposition to win games in the NFL. Palmer at least gives the recievers chances and puts points on the board when there is no running game. We lost today because our defense was out of position in zone. Which they are every week. Chuck’s fault.
December 18th, 2011 at 8:36 pm
i hear ya anthony, but trust me palmer runs hot and cold EVERY year. I live 30 min from cincy have seen him since a rookie and hes just not the same since he was hurt. every bengal fan i know laughing at that trade and for good reason. I don’t blame you for thinking the way you do about him you havn’t seen him day i day out like i have. he has a sub .500 record for a reason ( and no its not all becauz bengals are screwed up) but you are right, main problem is defense

Look,,you could talk about the worst game and bad decisions…
you could talk about losing a game with 13 point lead with 6 minutes left
you could talk about us being on Detroit’s 21 yard line and Hue Jackson going for on 4th down instead of taking the FG
you could talk about Tennessee, Denver and the Jets losing, and, we let the Lions waltz for 99 yards with 2 min left
or you could talk about Bresnahan calling a defense that puts our MLB in deep coverage on Calvin Johnson(!)
the bottom line is…this team is having to come back from …its owner dying, its players getting relatives shot, a multitude of injuries, bad, long term expensive contracts (Seymour, Routt, Huff, Kelly and DHB) and bad trades.
its having to come back from nearly 8 years of horrific coaching turnover and game management.
We could have had Calvin Johnson, yet he went 9 catches for 241 yards and 2 TD’s…. what did our first round pick do…he had his best game
yet dropped a key pass, then Schilens dropped another.
This team has to get a GM and get the parts in place. We went for a QB and crapped out, mortgaging the future,
but what choice did we have? There was no GM to make the key decision, nor an efficient scouting system that could work, because the coaching turnover lent us no identity?
The Niners did it the simple way – play defense, run the ball and don’t turn it over. This element of a defensive minded head coach could help turn this around, but were swimming up stream. Simply not enough play makers MAKING PLAYS in key situations. – had Schillens made the catch late, that’d put Sebass in for a higher percentage 54 yard FG instead of a 64 yd FG that was partially blocked anyway.
This team remains a work in progress that has to get an identity. Tim Tebow proved one thing, a man who is a winner can change the complexion of an entire team. They must search high and low for players with those intangibles; leadership, determination, perseverance.
They have been losing for too long, and it has created habitual deficiencies they havent learned to overcome.
December 18th, 2011 at 11:05 pm
Detroit is just a better team.
Maybe we’ll be a real NFL team next year.
December 19th, 2011 at 4:48 am
Oh man this was nasty. A blowout that you can tell is coming after the first offensive series (3 and out) is terrible. But these 4th Qtr comeback losses, in the last seconds, are god-awful. So many moments could’ve sealed the game. The D played so well for large slabs, but those Boyd and Mitchell blown coverages, and the McClain on Calvin, were gut-wrenching. Hue again with the 3rd and 3 bomb FFS, and not taking the FG early. On that 3rd and 3, perfect opportunity for a Reece run, or a Reece pass into the flat, or dump it over the middle to Bush/Reece/Boss.
What a blown opportunity tho, with the Tebowites losing. Now Chargers (and even Chiefs) can still win the division.
You can almost see it now lol (angry lol), Raiders drop their last two, Broncos drop their last two, and the Chiefs/Chargers end up winning the division. Raiders could’ve been that.
McKenzie (as GM) or whomever we hire, has got to be priority person. Meaning, he’ll come in and evaluate Hue and the entire staff, fashion the football department from the top down. Not be brought in because he can work with Hue and who doesn’t have ultimate say to totally re-evaluate everything (including firing Hue/etc if he wants to).
2012 gotta be about getting Pryor starter ready. The whole Palmer trade was all about playoffs now, 2011, and seeing as we blew it, then they gotta look at the long-term future (ie, Pryor not Palmer).
December 19th, 2011 at 5:06 am
Btw, here’s why Hue MUST go…
This whole roster, team, playbook after this debacle of a late season collapse will not recover and buy into Hue for 2012.
A new GM must be hired, with his own vision, and full control of the football department. He MUST put everyone on notice, and work his way thru the roster and coaching staff (and admin staff) and build HIS team with HIS coaches anew, with none of this last few years baggage of Kiffin-Cable-Jackson (curly, larry, mo) that the playing group got developed under.

December 19th, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Hubris cost us this game…The so called head coach is of the mind set that he must put his “stamp” on this season, thus he continues to call plays straight from the Madden ‘12 playbook…very simply, you take the 3 on that first drive…very simply, 4th and one, just over 2 minutes left, your oppenet has no timeouts left and MB has been pounding it in the second half, you run the ball!!! VERY SIMPLY!!! u are up 12 after scoring a touchdown with 8 minutes left you go for the fuggin 2 point conversion!!!How in gods name can he sit there and say “i thought kicking it was the right call! Hujack, you are to stupid to have an ego that big…All that said! boot his dumb ass and GO RAIDERS!!
