Jackson’s anger on full display after Raiders loss
By Steve Corkran
Sunday, January 1st, 2012 at 7:45 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Raiders coach Hue Jackson promised to build a bully, solve the penalties issue and get his defense to stop the run. In the end, none of those things happened, and he fared no better than his predecessor, Tom Cable, in guiding the Raiders to an 8-8 record after a 38-26 loss to the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.
However, Jackson did make good on one promise. He delivered that one Oct. 18 during an introductory news conference the day Jackson engineered a trade for quarterback Carson Palmer.
“This team is poised to win; whatever we need to win,” Jackson said that day. “I said that before. We’re not putting people on the team just to put them on there. We’re chasing a championship. I’m not going to tell you I’m going to be disappointed if we don’t, but I’ll probably be mad if we didn’t.”
Jackson’s anger was evident during his postgame news conference Sunday, saying numerous times how “pissed” he is at his players and for how the Raiders squandered an opportunity to make the playoffs for the first time since 2002.
“To say I’m pissed off is an understatement,” Jackson said in his opening remarks, with a scowl on his face. “Obviously, we got beat here at home, and it didn’t’ look like a football team that was hungry enough to go win the AFC West title.”
The Raiders entered the day with a shot at making the AFC Playoffs, either as the AFC West champion or the second of two wild-card entrants.
The wild-card scenarios vanished just about the time the Raiders started their game against the Chargers. It became AFC West or bust.
Near the end of the game, fans chanted “Denver lost” as a means of spurring on the Raiders. Numerous players said they were aware the Broncos had lost and all they needed to do was take care of business against a Chargers team with no playoff aspirations, and the division title was theirs.
Yet, it wasn’t to be. The Chargers marched 99 yards midway through the fourth quarter for a touchdown that sealed the victory and prompted fans to boo in unison.
“Words can’t describe how disappointed we are,” strong safety Tyvon Branch said. “We had everything set up for us. We had a roller coaster season and we had a chance to get in the big tournament still, and we blew it.”
Jackson was convinced that his team was ready for the big stage, that they would find a way to get it done.
“I thought this team was ready to take the next step,” Jackson said. “We didn’t get it done. It’s my responsibility, and so I understand that, and I’m pissed, to say the least.”
Free safety Michael Huff said he appreciates Jackson’s dour mood. However, the blame falls upon the players and not Jackson or defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan.
“We should all be pissed,” Huff said. “To be this close and to blow it, it’s nothing the coaches did. The players didn’t play (well). I know some people are going to try to blame Chuck, some people are going to try to blame Hue but, at the end of the day, we’re the ones on the field.
“Regardless of the defense that’s called, we got to line up and play and execute. I don’t want anybody going out there and trying to blame the coaches because it’s on us.”
When asked who he was mad at, Jackson made it abundantly clear who he was talking about.
“I’m pissed at my team,” Jackson said. “At some point in time, as a group of men, you go in the game, and you can say whatever you want about coaches, you win the game. Here’s your time. Here’s your time to make plays.
“We didn’t get ‘em stopped. And we didn’t make enough plays. So, yeah, I’m pissed at the team. I’m also, like I tell them, I’ll always put it on me, but I am pissed at my team. Because when you have those kinds of opportunities, you’ve got to do it, and we didn’t do it.”
Jackson wasn’t pulling any punches, either.
Someone has to be held accountable for Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers completing 19 of 26 passes for 310 yards and three touchdowns, without any sacks or interceptions. Or the Chargers rushing for 153 yards, at 4.9 yards a pop.
“Nah, uh-uh, I’m not making no more excuses for nobody,” Jackson said. “I’ve taken this thing on all year and, look, bottom line is, we don’t tackle very well in the secondary, we don’t make the plays that you have to make in the secondary to be very successful. We’re not where we need to be yet. It’s my job, and I’m going to get it fixed.”
When asked about Bresnahan’s status for next season, Jackson said he isn’t answering that right now.
Jackson did say that the Raiders defense needs to play as a cohesive unit, some guys need to make more plays and an “attitude adjustment” is in store.
“Chuck knows how I feel,” Jackson said. “I’m disappointed over there. I have been. It’s not like we haven’t had conversations. Chuck knows what I feel, and it’s not good enough. …
“When you play defense in the NFL, man, you got to hunt. You can’t give up 28, 29 points and expect to win. You’re not going to do that. I’ve challenged our guys, I’ve challenged everybody and, obviously, we’re not responding to it. We got to get better.”
Jackson said he has been aware of the issues holding back the Raiders for some time. Now that the season is over, it’s time for him to let it out and talk about what needs to be done going forward.
For one, Jackson said, he intends to take on an even heavier hand in how the team is run. He is hell-bent upon making sure he doesn’t feel again the way he feels right now.
“I’m going take a stronger hand in this whole team, this whole organization,” Jackson said. “There ain’t no way that I’m going to feel like I feel today a year from now, I promise you that. There’s no question.
“Defensively, offensively and special teams. I aint feeling like this no more. This is a joke. To have a chance at home to beat a football team that is reeling after being beaten by Detroit, is one of your rivals, and come in and beat us like that … yeah, I’m going to take a hand in everything that goes on here.”

WHY were the Raiders 8-8 last year? What was their big difference between the 5-11 team of 2009 that Cable was in charge of, running the offense?
Oh yeah, we brought Hue in and he turned the O around from 31st to 5th.
January 1st, 2012 at 7:48 pm
good bye bresh…
January 1st, 2012 at 7:50 pm
Man, I wasn’t a bigtime Nnamdi fan, but God, how Routt sucks. Poor clock management, pentalties left and right. So who do we get rid of and who do we keep? It’s not like we dont’ have any draft picks next year to cut the dead weight and bring in some more talent. Oops, wait, never mind…
January 1st, 2012 at 7:50 pm
Carson Palmer > Jason Campbell
Carson Palmer left-handed > Jason Campbell

“When you play defense in the NFL, man, you got to hunt. You can’t give up 28, 29 points and expect to win. You’re not going to do that.”
It really is that simple.
No sacks, no INTs, no punts forced, no QB hits.

remember Wade Phillips turned a Texans defense around with mostly the same players.
A better scheme does wonders with the players you already have.
January 1st, 2012 at 7:53 pm
Worthless
January 1st, 2012 at 7:53 pm
lol Chris
some of these posters are masochists, wanting to revert to Campbell after watching him throw every deep pass out of bounds and never succeed without McFadden.
I guess his history of never making the playoffs brings hope.
January 1st, 2012 at 7:53 pm
When Al did not make an effort to resign Nnamdi,that killed us. We drafted two CBs in the draft and they did nothing all year! Where do we go with this secondary??? We have no draft picks to get top tier guys!
January 1st, 2012 at 7:54 pm
Alex, be patient with them. Some fans have knee jerk reactions to losses. They lose perspective. Fans who can see the big picture know we have to keep Hue and Carson.
January 1st, 2012 at 7:54 pm
Take heart Raider faithful. In about 2 hours Rob Ryan will be available for the DC position.
January 1st, 2012 at 7:54 pm
“8-8 ain’t what I want to be. Im not happy with this season. I have underachieved. Its just that simple.”

Some people might, but personally, I blame Chuck, Hue AND the players. Since you can’t fire the team, lets start with Chuck and Hue.

January 1st, 2012 at 7:55 pm
Are you kidding me? How many times did we cross the opponents 35 and settle for 3s? And now the truth is out if you listened to Gannon on tv. When the Raiders called a timeout at an inopportune moment, in essence wasting it, Gannon shared that Palmer told him it was hard to get quality time with Hue in meetings. That that had to change if they were to get on the same page.
So, what the hell was Hue doing if not meeting with his O?

January 1st, 2012 at 7:56 pm
if you want to put LBs in coverage over the top at least don’t put converted DL like Wimbley on them. That should be obvious. Wish Thomas Howard wasn’t run outta town. Though he’s probably not
January 1st, 2012 at 7:56 pm
CP is NOT the issue – he’s part of the answer.
January 1st, 2012 at 7:56 pm
Sad end to a season where we took a step forward despite the miss of the playoffs. That d had no business being in the post season. Let’s get a legit d coordinator and get goin for reals.
January 1st, 2012 at 7:56 pm
No way Hue goes, do people realize what we were before Hue? In those horrible slap of the hands and head to the sideline for a 3 and out of Jamarcus…
January 1st, 2012 at 7:57 pm
@alex7
Fair point, but is Rout really goig to turn it around? McClain? Huff? Huff’s highlights coming out of college were of him making tackles on his back. X amoutn of years in, he hasn’t done much to make me think he’s the answer to our secondary issues. Besides, it’s not like guys like Phillips are all over the place waiting to get hired. Maybe things will be a little different now that Big Al isn’t around to dictate his defensive wishes, but that said…
January 1st, 2012 at 7:57 pm
“I’m going take a stronger hand in this whole team, this whole organization,”…
Wow, did Hue change Al’s will and inherit the team?
January 1st, 2012 at 7:57 pm
The only thing missing was Hue saying “they are who we thought they were, and we let ‘em off the hook”
January 1st, 2012 at 7:58 pm
Ok Mark, let’s get that GM hired pronto!!!
January 1st, 2012 at 7:58 pm
“We should all be pissed,” Huff said. “To be this close and to blow it, it’s nothing the coaches did. The players didn’t play (well). I know some people are going to try to blame Chuck, some people are going to try to blame Hue but, at the end of the day, we’re the ones on the field.
“Regardless of the defense that’s called, we got to line up and play and execute. I don’t want anybody going out there and trying to blame the coaches because it’s on us.”
————————————
Classy (and true) by Huff. Still, it’s clear not from this game (as bad as it was) or even this whole season (as bad as it was) that Breshnahan is not one of the 32 best defensive coordinators in the world. He’s never had a top-notch defense, even in the Gruden years. They were a mediocre defense then. Bengals defense was poor under him. Raiders D this year was horrendous.
I think we need a disciplinarian on that side of the ball. If nothing else those guys deserve to be coached by someone who will make their lives hell. Weed out the ones who can’t take it.

I remember Huff being all over the field at Texas. He also received a pro-bowl vote last year.
Remember these guys have NEVER been taught zone defense for an entire off-season.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:00 pm
Uh, we did have an interception in the first quarter lol
January 1st, 2012 at 8:00 pm
The Blueprint:
1) Get rid of Chuk
2) Cut your losses with cancer types like Mclain, Kelly & Routt.
3) Get some real DBs! no more projects please!
January 1st, 2012 at 8:00 pm
Bresnahan was only successful when he flashed those colored coded cards to the Defense.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:01 pm
Huff actually did blame the coaches. He says, “regardless of the defense called”. There’s your hidden language. It’s like telling someone, “Everyone says you’re fat, but I don’t think so”.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:01 pm
Hue saying all that stuff about taking on more control is only going to jeopardize the raiders hiring a top-shelf GM with full control, and they won’t let that happen.
They = madden, herock, wolf, trask, herrera, davis.

======================================
Yep, our defense folds. I think for sure we’re gonna clean house there. I would give Hue another season just based on the fact that he should chose his DC this year. If he ain’t better than 8-8 next year, then we can talk about firing him. But, no coach deserves to be fired his first season on the job.

LOL! I remember those, I think they lasted 1 game before Gruden hit CHUKY on the head and asked him to get over kindergarten.

Gotta get a GM another DC and blow that defense
January 1st, 2012 at 8:01 pm
Before Hue games like the one in Miami were not the exception, they were the rule.
Remember that before you call for the guy’s head.

….
Mine is not a knee jerk reaction.
I have said since Denver loss that Hue Jackson had major flaws as a HC.
My biggest thing is he is an Al Davis hire. I want a clean break from Al Davis philosophy.
I want a new GM to bring a new culture to organization.
This would include a New Coaching Staff hired by the GM who shares GM vision and answers to and is accountable to GM.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:02 pm
Expectations are important. Big difference between Cable and Jackson given similar records. Cable felt accomplished, Jackson felt disgusted.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:02 pm
…or no Head coach i mean. Unless you drop down to last in the league. So, Defense deserves radical changes.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:02 pm

lol @ 26.
“Code White Flag” is what our defense waved all season.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:02 pm
And once again….
It wasn’t a safety. The rule about a safety or not is that the ball only has to ‘touch’ the goalline going the other way and it doesnt become a safety. Think of a reverse TD.

Whooooo! Just got back from the game. I was pissed too. But, this tone from Hue tells me we’re in good hands.
D does not a drastic change, and Palmer needs to eliminate those damn interceptions….he made same damn good throws though.
Sorry Nation. But, lets get this thing right for 2012 starting with the leadership in Defense and putting our players in a position to execute.
Go Raiders!
January 1st, 2012 at 8:05 pm
Romeo Crennel or Dennis Thurman will be the new Defensive Coordinator. The 3-4 defense will be installed asap.
We will have a top five defense to match our offense.

Did anyone else give up more than 15 points to the Broncos all year??

At least create some competition. The attitude of players like Routt and Mclain who know they will start even if the half-ax it all season is a poison!

January 1st, 2012 at 8:09 pm
Very tough pill to swallow. The AFC is the weakest it’s been since before the Manning and Brady era, and we actually had a slight chance at making a bit of a run and losing to the Packers or Saints in the super bowl.
In Hue I trust.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:09 pm
Al Davis passed away week 4.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:09 pm
As much as Mary Schottenheimer hates the Raiders, I wonder if he’d ever consider being our DC. Hue worked for him before and from what he says he likes Hue and respects him.
I think a guy with Marty’s passion for football, knowledge of the game and unwillingness to put up with BS is the exact recipe needed to get this D to play well.
I also wouldn’t mind if SlowMac never plays another down in Silver & Black. Didn’t like him coming out of college. Like him less now. Didn’t think he was all that bad today, but I don’t like his attitude and he has flaws that I believe will never make him even a decent MLB in a 4-3 system.

Couldn’t agree with you more about our D in the post-season, unfortunately. But, I guess that’s the reason why we didn’t make it that far. Good change is coming Nation. Keep your head up.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:10 pm
REPOST:
Just back from the game and I need to sum up my feelings -FUK FUK FUK!
The Bronco’s do absolute squat, score 3 points, lose the game and yet, THEY ARE THE AFC-WEST CHAMPIONS! FUK!
This loss is totally on HUE for the following reasons:
• He didn’t fire Bresnahan when he had a chance.
• He didn’t change the defense to a 3-4.
• He treated MBush like a starting RB WHICH HE IS NOT! If he’s resigned, he should take a pay cut. Everybody has is number now and he’s no big threat.
• He, for some reason, ignores the TE game. That needs to change.
• He goes for 3 when he needed 7 every time. The start of the third quarter should have been the start of 4 down territory. Our D couldn’t stop a one legged man with a crutch. They never had to kick a punt. We’d score 3, they’d score 7. WHY ARE WE KICKING 3 POINTERS WHEN WE NEEDED 7’s? WAKE UP Hue!
• With the exception of Routt, we need serious upgrades in the defensive backfield. Start with basic tackling technique.It’s either poor play or it’s a really crappy defensive game plan – probably the later.
• Our front defensive 4 is too predictable and got NO PRESSURE on Rivers at all. He had all day to throw the ball.
• What’s with Louis Murphy not getting out of bounds on the last play of he 2nd quarter? If you can’t get out of bounds drop the damn ball and let SeaBass kick a longer ball. That was more dumb execution.
• Where was TJones? Why did Ford play so little? Did I mention that MBush is NOT a starter quality RB? We need to move TJones to slot WR and get 2 new real banging RB’s – 3 if DMac is not getting healed up permanently.
• Hue MUST stop calling the plays. He’s too distracted from the total game. Let Al Saunders do his job and call the plays. Then Hue can give special attention to motivating players and coordinators on the sideline with a pat on the back or a foot up their a$$.
• Fix the O-line Hue. Satele-out, Carlisle-out, Barnes-out. Wiz to center, Heyer to LG, Barksdale to RT and do something with BCampbell – play him or dump his a$$. If he plays put him at RG.
• NO MORE I ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS LOSS SPEECHES without an accompanying $100,000. fine on yourself Hue.
• Your next man up approach sounds good but doesn’t work. Fix it!
• Hire Bill Romanowski as the new team Motivation speaker. He’s should throw in his 25¢ worth before every game. He should be allowed to throw people under the bus figuratively speaking or in actuality, if necessary.
• DID I MENTION THAT DENVER LOST BUT STILL WON? FUK! TEBOW DID NOTHING BUT STILL WON! FUK!
• The Raiders don’t deserve sellouts with this level of POOR HOME PERFORMANCE.
• My guess is that you get one more year Hue, and then you really will be held accountable. Your first measured action will be to see how long it takes to FIRE BRESNAHAN. A Fassell firing might also be a consideration too!
Needless to say Hue, your failures today really pissed me and tens of thousands of others off. I want some asses kicked publicly, please get to it immediately!
January 1st, 2012 at 8:10 pm
LT DAN, I saw a team that looked as if they’d been eliminated before the game even started, too. They really looked like a lame duck team today.

Guys and Gals,
Let’s face the facts:
- Had we made the playoffs Steelers would have destroyed this defense next week.
- 8-8 is fair given the lameness of defense and coaching staff.
- This team as a whole didn’t deserve to be in playoffs.
- Hue will have another year. If he doesn’t make playoffs in 2012 he’ll be sacked.
- A GM will be hired. Hue better not have any more responsibilities in 2012.
Here are my 2011 grades:
- The entire coaching staff gets a D+
- Offense gets B-
- Defense gets F
- Special teams B

no way GG, did he really?
Wonder why we couldn’t install an entire new defense halfway through an NFL season? Or get new coaches starting week 5. Hmmm, wonder why?

Manure
can you explain what head-coaching duties have to do with a 29th-ranked Defense that you weren’t allowed to touch?
January 1st, 2012 at 8:13 pm
You really consider Hue a bigmouth, GG? That “build a bully” stuff was preseason. When he got hired. Every coach talks like that when they’re hired. Just what has he said recently that would suggest he has a “big mouth”?
January 1st, 2012 at 8:14 pm
Took Gruden 3 years…….
Everyone relax, GM is coming, Bresnahan is swimming in Da Bay…..
Give HueJax an offseason with CP3 and our fast WR’s
Bring in a DC and it won’t take much to win our a division next year..
Offense was good enough without DMAC……
January 1st, 2012 at 8:14 pm
see ya LT! Be glad Hue’s brought us out of the 5-11 “season’s over in October” stage.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:14 pm
Mcclain is the only player that must be shipped out. Lets see if we can get a 3rd for him before it is too late.

run D was much better with McClain than without.
He’s also playing out-of-position and 22 years old.
He and Curry will be solid LBs in our 3-4.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:17 pm
Insider news….Hue to be fired over control issues so they can hire a legit GM.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:17 pm
First off-season without Al. Should be interesting. For the first time since Ron Wolf had a huge say, we’ll be targeting football players instead of track stars.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:18 pm
I think Hue made the most of this season as possible. Yes, they should have won the damn division, but honestly….how deep would they have gone?
Let’s finally have a team were the HC can actually be held accountable for the staff and players, not the owners. I love Al Davis for all he’s done and will always respect him, but it’s time to change. Just keep the Image and Just Win Baby!
January 1st, 2012 at 8:18 pm
Hue’s vision, unlike Mr. Davis’, includes hiring legit coaches for the D.
Hue’s vision, unlike Mr. Davis’, includes shipping out unintelligent players, regardless of 40-time.
Hue’s vision, unlike Mr. Davis’, includes actually VALUING the QB position.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:18 pm
football players instead of track stars? What??? lol, guys that can actually tackle and learn a D scheme? Going to be mind-blowing.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:18 pm
Yet, it wasn’t to be. The Chargers marched 99 yards midway through the fourth quarter for a touchdown that sealed the victory and prompted fans to boo in unison.
—-
99and 1/2 muthafcking yards. SD was in scoring position at the 1/2 yard line with 99 1/2 yards to go.
Unfckingbefckinglievafukable
January 1st, 2012 at 8:19 pm
Hue needs to take responsibility for Red Zone offense as there was way to many fg’s all season.
Still, with McFadden, Ford, Moore, Boss, and Reece all missing big chunks of time the offensive side of the ball is not the problem.
Chuck D is done.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:20 pm
Hue just came short of punching Bres in the face in his media address. Clearly Hue is not having it and Bres will be fired. Alot of subtle jabs to Chucks grill. Hue has been holding in his concerns on the Def all year and today he unloaded.
Fk you Bres and see ya!
Fk you Seymour, see ya!
January 1st, 2012 at 8:20 pm
I’m in a sour mood.
1- Fire Bresnahan
2-DMAC cost this team the season. trade him for picks, or get another option at RB. Bush is nit fast enough.
3-draft a RB.
4-Major makeover at defense. how can you let rivers march 99 yards, at, home, when its do ir die time?
5-Hire a GM.
6-Give Hue a second season.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:20 pm
Hue’s vision: Hagan, S.Moore released, Boyd, TJ, Sheppard signed
Hue’s vision: trading away two first rounders for a tilt at the Super Bowl THIS season, and gets in return 3-6 and 1-4
Hue’s vision: Game-planning and being in control of the Defense and DC.
etc
January 1st, 2012 at 8:21 pm
Supposedly, 25% of all active NFL players will be UFA next year. Getting a competent GM in-place immediately is critical to getting the right players in place for this team next year.
We must absolutely FIRE Bresnahan immediately before he contaminates anything else, convert to a 3-4 defense and bring in a totally competent 3-4 DC ASAP. We might also look at a new STC. John Fassell is not really getting it done.
As far as McClain goes, he’ll do much better in a 3-4, especially if Curry is next to him. Defense must be fixed for next year. Defense gets you to the playoffs. Without it you get the 2011 Oakland Raiders.

When you score 25+ points today and a few other times this season and lose the defense is to blame.
Get off Palmer and get off Hue.
If you want to question Hue hit on clock management and play calling but we scored enough points to beat SD, Buff, and Den, and Det
January 1st, 2012 at 8:22 pm
@Alex7:
Thanks bro, don’t get me wrong, this one hurts no doubt bu after watching Carson today, our upside is sky I the limit.
Mitchell was horrible again today, I mean dude is akways ou of place, he missed the tackle of the run back.
Reallydisappointed in our front 4, they demolished Rivers in SD, 6 sacks I believe.
dHB, D-Moore, and our “O” at good. I wouldn’t franchise Bush. Sign him if it is reasonable or look at Peyton Hillis or even Tolbers if he is a FA.
Need to spend some cash on a cover linebacker, Wimbley was overpaid by Al.
What Sux is I live in Donktown and I gotta hear their crap, it’s all good, they are 1 and Dun!!
January 1st, 2012 at 8:23 pm
GG, Alex, let’s see what happens. In the coming days we’re going to get a clear signal as to which direction Mark’s going to head in. Remember that it was Al who hired hue Jackson, so Mark might be hesitant to strip him of any power until he turns in a losing season. In that same capacity, Mark keeps Bresh, too. Cause that’s what pops wanted. But from there, who will do the drafting? FA? It’s going to be different. Al has made these decisions every off-season for the past half century!
January 1st, 2012 at 8:23 pm
Defense is a flat out embarrassment.

I’m going take a stronger hand in this whole team, this whole organization,” Jackson said. “There ain’t no way that I’m going to feel like I feel today a year from now, I promise you that. There’s no question.
“Defensively, offensively and special teams. I aint feeling like this no more. This is a joke. To have a chance at home to beat a football team that is reeling after being beaten by Detroit, is one of your rivals, and come in and beat us like that … yeah, I’m going to take a hand in everything that goes on here.”

January 1st, 2012 at 8:23 pm

January 1st, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Manure, your hero Al Davis left the keys to Mark, no matter what you think of his personal life. It’s his call. And that’s from a legal standpoint. Mark Davis’s personality is a huge ? mark, which makes it all the more interesting, because he is by official legalese the king of the Oakland Raiders.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:26 pm
Lol @ Manure believing what Hue says. Hue told you he would fix it every week, the penalties, the run D, etc. And every week after he kept telling you. And even after this game he is STILL telling you he will fix it.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:26 pm
yeah Morilla,
Hue had to bite his tongue during the season regarding Chuck and the D. Fun to hear him vent like we all do.

I had a baaaad feeling about the chargers. when they got drilled at Detroit it was obvious they were looking ahead to this game.

this destroyed ours.

January 1st, 2012 at 8:28 pm
Alex,
GG thinks we’re the same person. That’s when these guys are out of arguments.
Anyway, regarding Al’s style of players…just look at our all times:
Passer: Stabler (not a Davis guy, short thrower)
Rusher: Marcus Allen
Receiver: Freddy B. Although Al liked him, he’s obviously not your prototypical burner. Specialized in possessions and getting open underneath.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:28 pm
based on comments in here MistaBrown, I might agree with you.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:29 pm
CORRECTION:
ALL TIME RECEIVER IS TIM BROWN, I BELIEVE. Same point, however. Tim B was a possession receiver, not a burner. Especially in his prime and later days, when he racked up his best numbers.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:30 pm
I think Jackson is pissed.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:30 pm
After seeing the play on TV I’m wondering how that was NOT a safety! We would have got the ball back and moved to within 3 points!

Check this out.
Hue is gonna feel this pain, humiliation, anger, frustration, depression, confusion for a long time and he has too much pride to let it go. He could come back one mean sob and kick ass all over the place. But just cause I believe him doesn’t mean it’ll happen. Just know if he carries this defeat correctly, good things can result from it. Maybe he’ll be so hungry he can beat some of that hunger into his players.
January 1st, 2012 at 8:31 pm
Really have to evaluate the alumni coaches. I’m all for showing loyalty to ex-players, but to assume they’re gonna cut it as a coach doesn’t seem to be working.
I’d say the only assistants who did OK were Wylie and Wiz.
Who the hell is Sanjay Lal? Where did he come from and why is he ruining receivers?
I’d say no coaches are safe. Including the great Willie Brown…

Definition of “Insanity:”
Repeating the same action over and over expecting a differing results.
Offseason(S) in the past:
Hiring HCs with assistants in place and HC has no say on choosing own assistants or make key decisions in personnel and draft.
THIS Offseason:
Hiring GM with HC in place who just publicly vowed “I’m going take a stronger hand in this whole team, this whole organization,” and enters drafts with little draft picks for the GM
= Same Results!!!
Stop the insanity!!!
Happy Offseason Raider Nation!
January 1st, 2012 at 8:31 pm
No way we are getting rid of Hue, NO WAY, that is but hurt emotion talking.
Continuity of the “O” is vital,things to happen in this order:
1) take out Chuck B
2) Bring in GM
3) Go after a cover LB, let go of Seymour, Mitchell, Rs-structure or let go of Wimbley
4) re-sign Bush to something reasonable or look for another RB is FA

Hue just doesn’t want to accept that his O couldn’t punch it in. 4FGs when the other team is scoring TDs isn’t going to get it. He’s taking over, whatever! If it was me, I would be like step off homie. You don’t own this taco stand. The D sucked and Hue never changed the coverages?? He kept letting them run that same stupid coverage where MCClain is supposed to cover wide outs down the middle, that’s just stupid. You’re the damn coach ain’t ya? Where was your boy TJ? Why aren’t you using the TE more? So many, questions…

Amen to everything 71. JB said.
This ‘d’ the Raiders supposeduly play is absolutely wretchedly horrible. It is not bad, it is downright putrid. Worst in the league bar none. This vomit job of a game to lose the AFC West Title was not even the worst played by the raiders ‘d’ (word used loosely) this year. That 35 point, TD scored EVERY Drive against Baffalo was the biggest joke this year or really any year. You cannot do worse in a half than give up TD drives EVERY Time the opponent has the ball. Chuck B d-coord. should have been canned then and his clipboard shoved up his nether region post-exit interview. Half the raider players on D can be outright cut and replaced with scap-pile retreads and you couldn’t be worse off.
I’m sick of this stenchpile of a team. Get a REAL GM and given him personnel power (Gruden would be a good start), get a REAL proven D coordinator and get 10-15 new defensive players and a starting RB who doesn’t hurt or strain his female private part midway through the season and actually plays likes he cares about winning and go from there. Hue – you are offically on the hot seat. Firing Chucky B tomorrow would be a good start.

Alex, be patient with them. Some fans have knee jerk reactions to losses. They lose perspective. Fans who can see the big picture know we have to keep Hue and Carson.
….
Mine is not a knee jerk reaction.
I have said since Denver loss that Hue Jackson had major flaws as a HC.
My biggest thing is he is an Al Davis hire. I want a clean break from Al Davis philosophy.
I want a new GM to bring a new culture to organization.
This would include a New Coaching Staff hired by the GM who shares GM vision and answers to and is accountable to GM.
============
Thats been done before. Cleveland, new GM – two playoff-less seasons. Detroit, on their 2nd GM – better results, but HELL they had 3 top five draft picks in a row – how could they f%k that up?
Not as easy as “hire a GM”. Need a whole lot of luck with the draft (T.Brady was a SIXTH round pick), (Brees was traded for). Several busts abound, and have doomed a GM.

Congrats Raider Nation for setting the record for penalties and penalty yards…also continuing your drought of not making the playoffs for close to a decade.

Hue made some rookie mistakes this year for sure and this game (the end of the first half and the two time outs in the 3rd quarter)but overall has done his job with the offense considering all the adversity he faced overall. Our offense isnt the problem and that needs to stay the same. Hue and Al Saunders are doing a good job there. THe problem is the defensive side of the ball. Having Houston, Moss, and Wimbley try and cover Gates down field is ridiculous. Lets be real here, the last five weeks our defense has been terrible. Even in KC, they let them drive the field too when it was time to close the door. Against Detroit McClain and Boyd were covering megatron on the last drive. I mean really Chuck you dumb f*%k! Green Bay picked our zones apart and Rivers had an all pro day today. We need to address the defensive side of the ball this offseason and hope we can keep the nucleus of this offense for a few years. Palmer played really well today and the int. was on Ford. Dissapointing but I like the direction and Hue wants blood and I like it. Chuck is gone and Hue basically said “Al’s guys” are no longer going to be around. Bring in Del Rio Hue. Go Raiders!
January 1st, 2012 at 10:50 pm
hue guaranteed himself a hc job next year when he traded for palmer..palmer is our guy and no way are they going to split them apart..palmer will only get worse if they do
January 1st, 2012 at 11:02 pm
“We’re gonna get it fixed”
It’s the Hue Jackson Mantra!
January 1st, 2012 at 11:45 pm
This defense has been flat most of the year and looked like they did not care and just wanted to get home to go party. This is why most of these defensive players should be cut, don’t know why call them defense because they could not defend against a crippled baby. Get rid of all big money players and start over fresh with players who really want to play. Get rid of Seymour, Kelly, Michell, Boyd, Giordano, Huff, Routt, Wimbley, McClain, Lito, and if both drafted corners can not stay healty get rid of them too. Get rid of Chuck B by tonigh or tomorrow, he should not be paid for another day, get rid of line backer coach, wide receiver coach and special teams, Fassel is a joke. Get rid of Schillens, Cartwright, Murphy. This team needs an extreme major overhaul make over. PERIOD!!!
January 2nd, 2012 at 1:05 am
As I predicted several weeks ago, all the talk about making the playoffs was both ridiculous and assinine. I also predicted: “We will lose to San Diego since Rivers is now throwing big time TD’s like the mad hatter.” I was correct.
For the life of me I can’t understand why the CB’s, while reading the receiver’s body language, turn toward the ball and just get a hand up. We couldn’t even do that today while Rivers ran roughshod over us.
Attenuate Stank AL’s taint: hire a GM and legitimate head coach; blow the team up, tar and feather Hue and clip his eggs at the city limit.
Also, I couldn’t believe the play of McClain. I watched him on the bench – sluffed off chin and beady eyes, nasty goatee – cut him….oh yeah…..show him the ax handle across the face. That goes for Seymour, CJ, that idiot bunch of CB’s.
Makes me sick….

**** yeah Hue! Read em the riot act! Wouldn;t expect anything less.
“8-8. They can’t call us losers anymore!”
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:52 am
The bottom line is that Cable was 8-8 and swept the division.
Hue is 8-8 and didn’t sweep the division.
We went backwards.
Did Hue imrpove the offense? Yes.
That makes him an offensive coordinator not a head coach.
Really don’t like Jackson publicly dumping on everyone in sight even as he says he accepts the responsibility.
As a coaching technique that’s not going to work.
A lot of Hue’s play calling is not good.
At the end of the first half, with eleven seconds left on the last play of the half, when they are trying to set it up for Sebass, Hue calls that short pass down the middle that ends the half without a score.
Jackson’s made plenty of mistakes but I don’t know that it’s a good idea to fire him yet. He probably should have another year just as Cable should have had another year.
We definitely need to bring in a strong General Manager to replace Al and that person needs to have the power to hire and fire coaches.
And it needs to happen NOW Mark!
January 2nd, 2012 at 4:45 am
CODE BLACK!!!
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ANYWAY?!?! Hue is cool i dig his rage… Breshnaloser no sacks no pressure on Rivers its like he wanted to lose and, he did!
The only way to beat Rivers is to keep hitting the hell outta him and knocking his ass on the ground. no sacks says everything you’d think he’s vick out there!?!?!?!
too bad the STEAL’rs are hurt and we could of beat them around but without hitting big ben its the same thing like rivers… you can’t give them time or they eat you alive…
I say wate for REX RYAN to be fired and bring his big ass to the HOT, he’s the better of the ryan brothers and REX can make this D hum!!!
Oh and by the way… CODE BLACK!!!!

The Defense was built by Al … Time to move on …
Hue will be back next year … Palmer will be back next year.

And The Raiders will have a new GM …
January 2nd, 2012 at 6:46 am
Why is Hue getting a pass? He’s no better tnan “The Cable Guy” Hue is way over his head. He’s an adequate OC, not an HC. Fire his @ss! The Raiders will always be 2nd fiddle to Harbough and the 49ers, as long as Hue is the HC.
January 2nd, 2012 at 7:29 am
How do you lose when your QB does this?
C. Palmer 28/43 417 9.7 2 1 102.6
To have a performance like that go to waste and to expend to high draft picks to have the defense collapse anyways is just flat out frustrating!
And to think the one int is because the WR looked lost on the play!!!
The 99.5 yard drive had to be the worst defensive stand I have ever seen the Raiders do. However, we had a CB off the street FA no one wanted, started a Safety playing in dime off the street FA no one wanted. It just seems that if you had half a pass rush – is this not what we paid TK RS and CW for? and some decent run defense (isnt that what we drafted the thug from Alabama for?) the Raiders should be able to force the team to punt at least once? I mean all teams have to hide weaknesses. It seems like the rest of the defense just sat there and laughed at Sheppard as he got torched. The DC just sat there with no answer. AHHHHHH.
By the way #159, AD gave Hue Chuck B. No one else in the NFL wanted him. The guy was coaching in the UFL or something like that. I mean he could not even get a gig in college. Having him as a DC reminded me of the Bed and Breakfast Guy AD hired as OC in 2007. We need serious professional coaches that can make adjustments!!!
January 2nd, 2012 at 9:42 am
Hue Jackson promised to build a bully, solve the penalties issue and get his defense to stop the run and none of those things happened. In the end he fared no better than the Cable guy!…
He also thought this team was ready to go to the playoffs that his defense was one of the best and he was absolutely clueless as to when a player could come back to play.
Bottom line is we need to demote Hue to OC as he has no business being a HC in the NFL, fire Bresnaham, Routt and McClain, hire a defensive minded coach and a competent DC along with a good GM.
I’m tired of being bullied around, specially by San Diego and Dungver!
I’m pissed at some players but specially @ Hue and Bresnaham!. This loss was absolutely heart breaking. To lose at Oakland against the Chokers!… R u kidding me !?… I’m so disgusted I’m gonna leave and throw up now.

FIRE Hue Jackson !!!!!!
It hasn’t happened yet, so, will everything remain the same? will the owners contemplate who should be fired? (Hue) Duh?? and who should take control,as GM and make the decisions,I’ll stay excited until i see what happens next,& pray they made excellent decisions.
WE need a rookie QB,let’s start fresh.
I want a coach like cable,a coach who takes responsibility for the job,he was not given a chance,& fired because he took responsibility,not putting blame on others. Raiders Administration need to get there head out there a@@!!! and hire a coach that will inspire and motivate players to a higher level.I want to win,not barley,or hope someone other team looses so we can make the playoff’s,i want to win for 10,20 seasons straight,i want other fans to hate us because we win all the time, not because we’re the most routty fans in the NFL,well that too. justwinbabyor all the time.

Raiders need to resign Mr. Campbell as Mr. Palmer’s back up; more than likely Jason be starting by week six since Carson holds onto the ball until the quarter is over.
Seriously though; this move would solidify the Raiders at QB for the next three years, since we have Mr. Pryor to develop for the future.
Raiders are solid at the OLine, although there is room for improvement.
Raiders are solid at WR, although there is room for improvement.
Raiders are solid at TE, younger guys simply need to develop.
Raiders are thin at RB, who woulda thunk?

Hue needs to sign:
Crennel, Tucker, Dungy, or Wannstadt as DC.

Typical B…K man when the evidence is right in front of him that he’s to blame he throws everyone else under the bus.

[...] Chuck Bresnahan: When your defense can’t get a team that’s been kayoed from the playoffs to punt over the course of a full game, your run is over…as if it had even started. See ya, and if you don’t want to “see ya” to Chuck, why I see no reason to keep our illustrious head coach Hue Jackson around. Raiders need to make big front office changes, like hire someone to replace the deceased Al Davis. [...]

“I’m going take a stronger hand in this whole team, this whole organization,”…
Wow, did Hue change Al’s will and inherit the team?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I guess if we asked HueJAX “Who died and left you in charge?” He’d say “Al did.”
