End 3rd qtr: Chargers 16, Raiders 6
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, September 10th, 2012 at 9:46 pm in Oakland Raiders.
With the Raiders dealing with a special teams disaster (Travis Goethel subbing for long-snapper Jon Condo) and the offense reduced to short attempts from Carson Palmer to Darren McFadden, boos were beginning to rain down on the Oakland offense as the third quarter expired.

Not having Moore’s ability to stretch the field vertically is huge.

Doubt Knapp would use his skills anyway.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:47 pm
Bartell hurt, Pat Lee in for him, not Hanson.
Bartell was not an answer, one half and hurt.

Fckn play calling and o line suck ass
September 10th, 2012 at 9:48 pm
Like I said, defense is all that’s keeping this from being a blowout.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:48 pm
Thats incorrect. We are NOT trying to push it down field. These are designed plays to go short! This game is breaking down from the offense! D is now on the field way too much. STs is punting in our endzone. Its all connected. The offense is the root problem. Period.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:48 pm
Still only two score game

Now can Goodson turn around and block someone and give TJ a chance to return one PLEASE.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:49 pm
Last year’s D:
Chargers are up 31-3.
This year? It’s a 2 score game, almost whole quarter to play.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:49 pm
That D is doing work only if our O can get it’s head out of the @$$
September 10th, 2012 at 9:49 pm
D has given up 41 yards rushing
September 10th, 2012 at 9:50 pm
How many of us were calling for signing Cooley, Shockey or Winslow?
Yet the majority said we are good at TE. What a joke.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:50 pm
You guys are out of your minds.
The roster is not perfect yet and D.Moore and Ford are both out.
Playcalling IS NOT why the team is losing right now.

++++++++
Typically, we would have let a no name scrub run rough shod.
We have shut down the run.
=================
Our “D” looks 20x better. Our “O” looks a heckova lot worse. Unfortunately predicted
September 10th, 2012 at 9:50 pm
Run D is awesome Need a TD here to have a chance
September 10th, 2012 at 9:50 pm
It’s garbage man. We were just an OC away last year and we blow everything up and hire knapp lol
September 10th, 2012 at 9:51 pm
It says it all when Alias is making more sense than 90% of the comments on here.Palmer goes deep and throws an int you are calling for his head.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:51 pm
Those that said Knapp was a bad hire, really had some insight.
Our offense looked better last year without Dmac.
Still time…..
September 10th, 2012 at 9:51 pm
Knapp sucks plain an simple. Raiders couldn’t score back last time he was here and they can’t score now. Cable took over play calling for a reason.

Hate to say it, but your memory must be super short-term. Don’t you remember last year without them, and with McFadden out, we still moved the ball somehow well.

September 10th, 2012 at 9:51 pm
That’s why we love our Raiders, good for one quarter, then droop and fade away late. Great game planning and play calling folks for one quarter, I’m sure you’re still thinking playoffs. Playoffs?!
September 10th, 2012 at 9:51 pm
Reece is now a spectator. Hue had this guy featured last year (and GOING DEEP!!). I don’t know what going on with DHB. He’s mostly blocking. All the plays are short. I don’t think we have a play over 15yds. Maybe 1! Last year, we had plenty in chucks!
This is all the offense not producing, because of the plays being called by the OC. And the system that is not taking advantage of its players.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:51 pm
The roster is not perfect yet and D.Moore and Ford are both out.

Those guys are injury prone as s&*%.
At least they make up for it by being really, really slow healers.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:52 pm
Wow
September 10th, 2012 at 9:52 pm
Not NFL level WR’s.
Great call from Knapp, great throw…..Rod STreater
September 10th, 2012 at 9:52 pm
Lol
September 10th, 2012 at 9:52 pm
There you go yet again. You got your big play, and once again, FAILED EXECUTION.
You guys saying Knapp is the problem are a bunch of morons.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:52 pm
Get a TD please
September 10th, 2012 at 9:53 pm
Streater is looking like a game loser
September 10th, 2012 at 9:53 pm
Where’s some creativity to get more guys the ball? What about Reece? Remember those screens where he went rumbling down the field?

D is pinning it’s ears back and coming for Palmer

One step forward two steps back. Wtf
September 10th, 2012 at 9:53 pm

+++++++
Truly a key. DHB is drawing the double. Streat, and HAGAN are not field stretchers like DMO, and JFORD.
Game is not over.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:54 pm
Barnes just got abused like a Vietnamese hooker
September 10th, 2012 at 9:54 pm
CP almost past the line of the scrimmage there.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:54 pm
Palmer is out there doing everything he can.

Wholly molly, someone else gets a catch!

Why would Knapp call plays down the field to these WR’s?
They have let us down time after time today.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:55 pm
Wtf kinda play was that
September 10th, 2012 at 9:55 pm
Set up the 4th down play.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:56 pm
And, I also think McFadden looked a lot more comfortable running behind the schemes last year.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:56 pm
GOD DAMMIT!
They should have set up the 4th down play. Just went for 15 yards or so.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:56 pm
Bad play calling, plain and simple.
Where is reece?
Way too man screens….
September 10th, 2012 at 9:56 pm
That was over thrown
September 10th, 2012 at 9:56 pm
KK-way to do your usual picking at comments.I said Palmer can’t go down field because nobody is open.Is that not blaming the players?
September 10th, 2012 at 9:56 pm
Hey folks…Rome isn’t built in a day
September 10th, 2012 at 9:57 pm
Look at Palmer ignoring knapp. Nice
September 10th, 2012 at 9:57 pm
Embarrasing
September 10th, 2012 at 9:57 pm
unbelievable. And Palmer looks like a guy just collecting a paycheck
September 10th, 2012 at 9:57 pm
This is comical
September 10th, 2012 at 9:57 pm
Lechler has to just throw it when this happens for now on, at least it’s no yards lost.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:57 pm
I am not throwing away the season based on one game. This roster has holes in it…and the team has very little depth.
It is what it is
September 10th, 2012 at 9:57 pm

September 10th, 2012 at 9:58 pm
Jared Allen came in, in a pinch last season for Minny and flawlessly long-snapped one game.
Goethel just sucks. As a LB and as a LS

Anyone who doesn’t notice the huge D improvement is a flat out retard. They’re all that’s keeping this from being a total disaster. It’s still a 2 score game, still some time…ONLY because of the D.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:00 pm
It’s not on Goethel. The F*cking special teams coach needs to be fired!
September 10th, 2012 at 10:00 pm
Bull fckng schiit
September 10th, 2012 at 10:00 pm
The problem is, just like Hue didn’t do anything about Defense, DA doesn’t do anything about offense.
They have someone there, and it’s not their area of expertese so ignored it.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:00 pm
WTF is Goethel is practicing on? He is like 5th on the depth chart as a LB.
If he is the backup long-snapper, you would think he would rifle a dozen or so back a day so not to look like a complete dumb azz if his number ever got called.

Not an easy thing to do when your O-line is collapsing and receivers can’t get open or run the correct routes. Palmer has little choice but to hand it off or dump it off quickly.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:01 pm
Put goethel in to put a cheap shot on rivers knee, and then get suspended for the year…only way he can help on the field.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:01 pm
Too many miscues cost us the game ..the team looks good though
September 10th, 2012 at 10:01 pm
McFadden … 15 carries for 32 yards. Inexcusable. And McFadden himself has looked good. No holes in the running game. Pair that with three blocked/botched punt attempts and there you go.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:01 pm
Awsome zone blocking.Same system as green bay ya know,thats where BOTTOM LIP came from ya know.

No backup long-snapper seems ridiculous to me…but maybe that’s standard practice.
The defense is LIGHT YEARS…LIGHT YEARS ahead of anything we’ve seen in a while.
Offense down to 4th string receivers….
D. Moore and J. Ford have to get it right…if they can’t be relied on then they need to take a deep breath and bring in T.O

“Looks a lot like the 2008 Raiders offense…oh wait! Greg Knapp was the O-Coordinator that year too.”
September 10th, 2012 at 10:03 pm
That’s pretty much the game. But our defense is hugely improved. They kept us in this thing when it should have been an SD blowout by half time, the way our offense is playing. Huge concerns on offense. Maybe Knapp was a bad idea.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:03 pm
You guys not looking at the Offense today are really missing what I see as obvious faults. I understand that we are missing key players, but it still has to be better than this.
Reece is getting no play this game. Just blocking. Find a way to get DHB the fall! End arounds, quick hits, something! What happened to the multiple screens by DMC, Reece, Bush (now Tiawan)? All and all, its the OC.
And I don’t think DMC likes ZBS. He’s getting frustrated. And he’s not running as hard. He’s going out or down easier because he knows they are overworking him (I think).

Other than the last drive in the half, McFadden has been average.
Not breaking that tackle on the 3rd down swing pass, swung all momentum in this game.
Next play, blocked punt, and game over.

September 10th, 2012 at 10:05 pm
People are right saying that we shouldn’t care about the pre-season, correct, we need to wait for the real games to see just how badly they stink.
I still can’t believe that a undrafted free agent rookie LT is manhandling the Raiders dlineman, what a shame!
September 10th, 2012 at 10:05 pm

GForce, let norv keep throwing. More chances for a big defensive play, and our defense has been feisty all night, considering they’ve been on the field most of the game.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:06 pm
The last time the guy long snapped was high school,but at least it gives you all someone new to hate.Forget the fact Ford and Moore refuse to play while dinged thereby making us start a UDFA WR in Streater and play a guy signed last week at one of the most important positions-WR.

On to South Beach, regroup and take care of the Dolphins
September 10th, 2012 at 10:06 pm
Hue Jackson is coaching DB’s for a team that just made Joe Flacco look like Sammy Baugh.
He sucks, get over it.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:06 pm
JFB, the offense is a no-show in the 2nd half. Huge concern. Could be Knapp.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:06 pm
The WC offense is a bad fit for Carson Palmer.
Gotta give the offense a chance with Wiz and D-Wow, when he gets back.
Hue used Reece like he should. Knapp so far is not as creative as Hue was….
September 10th, 2012 at 10:06 pm
Need pass rush , need D Moore back …no turnovers or stupid drive killing miscues..we should be fine
September 10th, 2012 at 10:07 pm
Man our Oline looks horrible tonite. Frustrating but I’m digging the D. DA got it right with Tarver and got it wrong with Knapp.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:07 pm
The bad snaps salted this game away…..
Anyway, I will trade a good offense for a good defense anyday.

The Offense is still having troublee scoring TD’s, preseason is over no more excuses.
But there will be all kind of excuses made here though, and fan blaming.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:07 pm
Jesus Vegas, yeah, this is all mcfaddens fault. Only guy doing anything and with zero
Blocking for him, and it is his fault.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:07 pm
Our receivers have sucked for years now. Why the hell can’t we get that position fixed??
September 10th, 2012 at 10:07 pm
So Raiders basically turned the ball over 4 times with no INTs. Tawain Jones lost 20 yards because of fumble. Palmer and defense are not the problems.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:07 pm
Who hired knap?
DAllen.
Now im worried
September 10th, 2012 at 10:07 pm
Palmer…well over 50%, no picks.

There isn’t a “very good DC” that would even show up for a job interview with Hue Jackson as his HC.

Player Drafted At Linebacker To Start At Realtor
April 30, 2010 | ISSUE 46•17 | More Sports News in Brief
Article Tools
OAKLAND, CA—The Raiders organization welcomed sixth-round draft choice Travis Goethel Wednesday and said the Arizona State linebacker would more than likely be asked to start as a Bay-area Realtor by the beginning of next season. “We believe that the intelligence, instinct, and leadership Travis displayed on the college gridiron will be of immense help to him as he assists his clients in finding quality housing in the greater Oakland region,” a press release from the Raiders read in part. “While he was a standout college linebacker, we believe he will adjust quickly to his new position once he realizes his future is in real estate.” Goethel claimed to be satisfied with the team’s decision, saying it was far better than being asked to switch to car dealer, casino greeter, or long snapper.

You will be in for a world of hurt then.
Knapp and the WCO are not going anywhere.
DA and Reggie were birthed in the WCO and they will draft/sign players that can execute the scheme
I think everyone is overreacting to this. New coach new staff, new players, new scheme….everything won’t always click on the 1st go.

He also took our offense from a unit that looked very much like it does tonight for about 8 years, and turned it into a top-10 NFL offense with Grads and Campbell at QB and, aside from DMac, a mish-mash of unheralded skill position players.

Lefty, you are right on with the Ford and Moore refusal to play. I am tired of it taking 2 months to heal from a pulled hammy. 20 years in the Army, and I would go apesh!t if a Soldier blew off PT for two months over a hamstring.

Leave Hue in place and hire a very good DC to fix the defense. That sure as sh!t was what I was screaming for.
==============
Me too, but we were the minority. I bet you’ll see a lot who gave me crap for saying Knapp was a bad hire and trying to show me how he once had a descent offense 15 years ago with the 9ers made him a good hire. He’s still trying to run that same offense no matter what pieces are around him though, and the game has evolved, but he hasn’t.

ACtually our division kicked our azz last year, outscored us in the 6 games.
The 2010 team, yup they kicked azz. Too bad we got rid of that HC
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Ummmm, we didn’t get rid of him. That was Hue’s team.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:22 pm
We have thrown multiple passes down the field, has our WR’s caught any of them?
September 10th, 2012 at 10:22 pm
As expected this offense sucks.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:22 pm
4th and Goal w 7 seconds left in half we kick a field goal.
That’s a losers mentality. right there is where this game went south when our HC showed no balls.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:22 pm
Raiders suck !!! CP3 is a lead footed idiot. I laugh at you jerks thinking the Raiders will ever beat the Broncos and Manning. Fire CP3 idiot tomorrow ??
A few weeks ago I mentioned here that the 49′ers would beat the Raiders time and again and was practically driven off the blog. For all of you who attacked me: F off. The 9′ers will beat this crappy team and the moron Knapp 100 out of 100 times.
Go 9′ers and Denver !
September 10th, 2012 at 10:22 pm
Palmer and DMac took a beating in this one.

Some fans are holding Knapp to the task of being the first ever NFL offensive coordinator to pull off a win in a game where special teams fumble 3 punt attempts. Some fans are something else.
======================
I’m holding him to the task of finding the best way to use the weapons we have to score the most points.
Not sticking to the same thing no matter the personnel, or the situation, or the defense we’re playing against.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:22 pm

It is only the 1st game but I will admit as a Knapp supporter I’m more than disappointed-even with 2 of our top 3 WRs not playing.
BTW,who would rather see Palmer playing like a gunslinger,throwing an occasional int but putting points on the board?
====================================================
Gotta have receivers get a little separation….the problem tonight was not converting on those 3rd and short situations.
I reserve judgement until the mid-point.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:23 pm
too little too late, Rod
September 10th, 2012 at 10:23 pm
Glad we got the touchdown. Myers played well. Good hands.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:23 pm
Got damn Sullivan you bloody idiot. Even without the muffed punts, the offense still only put up 6 through 4 quarters. Just shut up already. You sound like a b!tch.

Klas likes that Streeter acted like he had been in endzone before.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:24 pm
Just as I pictured this…Knapp should not even be allowed on an NFL sideline. It is more than just not having Moore & Ford. Knapp is the most horrible coach I have ever witnessed, aside from Art Shell’s hire of Tom Walsh as OC. I said from the beggining better defense, but poor offense.
Are You kidding me?!!%^$#@%^&! This freakin wierdo hasn’t even installed a NO HUDDLE OFFENSE!!!???
September 10th, 2012 at 10:24 pm
You all might not see it or care too.
But Streeter and Hagan in a possession receiver role will work wonders in the middle on third downs when MOore is healthy.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:24 pm
Knapp is doing everything he can to make up for the bad punt snaps. We’re still in this. Hate on that.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:24 pm
This is all on the offense. You guys not looking at Knapp are really fooling yourselves. I’m not one to blame playcalling over execution but really this one is clear. This game is all on Knapp’s playcalling from the start.
All the short sht called to DMC to start the game and never pressing deep until it was absolutely OBVIOUS we needed to go deep late in the game. Classic, allowing the defense to crowd the box early to stop everything short and play deep late to stop everything long. Textbook playcalling for a failed offense.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:24 pm
Well, Palmer has been solid. All things considering.

Great players create mismatches.
Floyd made GREAT catches. He’s better than 27 and will win that matchup 8 outta 10 times.

DHB, Streater, and Co didn’t get it done. SEVERAL balls off their HANDS that are going to make a BIG difference in a ONE score game.

Oakland isnt a lost cause. Certainly dont feel good to start the new regime with a LOSS on mnf to a division rival though

Answer: This game turned on the 3rd and 3 pass completion for 2 yards. Typical Greg KRAPP garbage.
Answer: Greg KRAPP is most to blame.
14 ponts against SD at home ?
A complete joke.
Unimaginative. Uninspiring. Boring. Ineffective.
I warned in the preseason that KRAPP would continue to throw short of the marker and that it would bite us.
I posted this morning that if the Raids failed to score points tonight it would be due to KRAPP.

He averaged 5 ypc the past 2 years.

Come on. Lets be real. I’m not one for looking at the OC over player execution, but this offense really sucked largely because of OC and scheme.
This was one boring game. Period.
Not impressed at all with Knapp. Very predicatable from beginning to end. Force feeding DMC. Force feeding the ZBS (when DMC said last year he liked Power,etc). Then after the boos from the crowd he looks to press deep …well too damn late at that point.

OAKLAND, CA—The Raiders organization welcomed sixth-round draft choice Travis Goethel Wednesday and said the Arizona State linebacker would more than likely be asked to start as a Bay-area Realtor by the beginning of next season. “We believe that the intelligence, instinct, and leadership Travis displayed on the college gridiron will be of immense help to him as he assists his clients in finding quality housing in the greater Oakland region,” a press release from the Raiders read in part. “While he was a standout college linebacker, we believe he will adjust quickly to his new position once he realizes his future is in real estate.” Goethel claimed to be satisfied with the team’s decision, saying it was far better than being asked to switch to car dealer, casino greeter, or long snapper.

Come on, Man. Vick was absolutely horrendous yesterday. If it wasn’t for Cleveland throwing four INTs the Eagles would’ve got trounced by arguably the worst team in the league. I know it’s your thing to defend certain QBs, but let’s be serious.

My point had nothing to do with how he played yesterday. Of course he was horrendous. But at the end of the day, he won the game. All I’m saying.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:37 pm
Game ball goes to Kelly for keeping drives alive with 2 offsides that led to a SD TD , Streater for fumbling on our first drive on which we were rolling , an dropping key passes ..including one near 5 yard line before halftime … Reece and Taiwan for messing up that reverse on a pretty good drive that killed The drive … Travis goethel gets the game ball too along with some stupid 3 and shorts that were inches short from first down

A few weeks ago I mentioned here that the 49′ers would beat the Raiders time and again and was practically driven off the blog. For all of you who attacked me: F off. The 9′ers will beat this crappy team and the moron Knapp 100 out of 100 times.
Go 9′ers and Denver !

Run D was tight against scrub RBs. Palmer didn’t make any horrible mistakes. WRs dropped a few they should have caught and apparently John Condo is the most essential player on our team. Considering the ST clusterphuck, the fact we only lost by a TD says more about San Diego than it does the Raiders.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:37 pm
Also streater and Dhbeast dropped two key passes back 2 back and plus streaters fumble, I saw that coming a mile away. He was tryin to do to Much

This small ball play aint going to get it done in todays NFL, why wait until the last drive to open it up a lil bit? Just a horrible gameplan form the offense, Defense looks legit, it could of ben alot worse, but the D stepped up and did there part
September 10th, 2012 at 10:39 pm
Wasn’t happy with some of the playcalling, but there was plenty of poor execution that put the Raiders in a no-win situation playcalling wise.
Streater had 4 receptions on 10 targets. Three or four flat-out drops on what would have been first downs. And while you have to appreciate the effort to get extra yardage, but that fumble was a backbreaker after a strong first offensive possession.
Taiwan Jones’ butterfingers put the Raiders in a huge early hole, too.

Playcalling-wise, the Raiders needed to exploit the fact that the Chargers were stacking the box. The early playcalling set up an opportunity for the Raiders to take some shots, and those shots simply never came.
The one nice deep ball to Streater ended up being a drop.

VERY true. No need to waste the season. We have already seen Knapp before and it does not get better.

10-6 at midfield and we botch the punt.
Shane kicks it, and we win the game, no doubt in my mind.

We have some things to clean up however, do not quite on this team.
15 games left.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:45 pm
Well you may not agree with this but I’m not as shocked we lost tonite. I love our new D though. This loss aint that bad in my book. I expected 10-6 and we play better in SD than at home vs the Chargers. After 20+ yrs, we finally have a legit D. These guys are good.
On the other hand, what is it about Knapp that young guys like Mora and DA are so in love with him?

September 10th, 2012 at 10:46 pm
Lastly: STs was atrocious but really asking yourself why were they punting so damn much (deep in our own territory)? Its because Knapps offense couldn’t move the ball. After 2Q it got very predicatable. Everything short – everything! That was just boring to watch. Sad that I said that. That is not Raider football. I can see Al cursing now – GO DEEP DAMN YOU!!

Streater had moxie. An undrafted rookie gets thrown into the starting lineup, screws up early but then comes back and scores our only TD (and the two-pointer afterwards). This kid has a chance to be a star.

You absolutely should blame Streater for not catching balls that hit him in the hands.
But he wasn’t the only one out there making mistakes, and he certainly is the only one of those players who is an undrafted free agent.
Just saying – this game looks a lot different if the execution is better. This loss is not all on the playcalling (although some of it definitely is).
September 10th, 2012 at 10:48 pm
DMC averaging 2ypc is all you need to know about this offense. DA will have to make a big decision soon if he is to salvage the season before he loses the offense – fire Knapp and promote Saunders – and give these guys something to look forward to.

Unreal! I can’t even believe it myself. But that is what Gregg Knapp produced ladies and gents. It bears repeating …that is what Gregg Knapp produced.
I’m almost certain with Hue DMC would’ve been over 5ypc, Reece would’ve had a lot of touches (carries and catches), and we would have been on the board much earlier.
A measily 2 yards per carry. Pathetic!

Nobody is going to care about this game come Sunday.
PLENTY….DID YOU HEAR….PLENNNNNNNTY of football left.
1-1 after next Sunday and we are back in business.
If the team got blowed out like K.C, then I’d think about hitting the button.
also, Khalif Barnes is not going to cut it

For once and for all: Knapp will NOT be fired this season. The MOST that would happen is Saunders taking over the playcalling and/or running the no-huddle and letting CP do it.

It’s easy to blame this on losing the LS in the game. And those who say fire Condo were quickly silenced tonight, anyway…
BUT…the fact of the matter is that we put the punt unit on the field four straight times in the 2nd half. Not going to win these games too often when you do that…thank the supernovas that the defense even kept it within reach. Offense left something to be desired, but wasn’t Cleveland Browns bad. Clean it up, we’re hanging in this game, and have a good chance of winning. Not completely disheartened, but the excuses aren’t exactly build in.
Love the D for the most part, and I can forgive TK for the first offsides-jumping the snap was the only way to win that 3 and 1. It was our mistakes that lost us the game…but not as disheartening as in the past.

I take NOTHING good away from this game EXCEPT the run d was decent. SD dropped alot of passes and it could’ve been much worse and should have actually.
The D was letting guys go wide open..there was NO pass rush, and the only reason we held em to minimal yardage is becuz they were on a short field most of the time.
U guys can walk away feeling good about this disaster but i am not….and i’ve been a koolaid drinking homer all my life.

Many wanted DA and Reggie to change the Image of the Raiders. The Image changed to another way to screw up. Many people that claimed the Raiders needed a image change are not Raider supporters and can care less about the Raiders. Reggie and DA better clean things up fast. Do not give me I believe in Reegie stuff until he proves it. As I have been saying for the longest this system that DA & Knapp want to run you must have a tightend to break contain and make the the defense pay for covering a cut back run and they have not addressed that by pushing to get the best out of there tightend up until now. Guess what it showed up horribly tonight. The blocking scheme and the run is laughable and the Defense are not even concerned with it. This can be a extra long year if the leaders do not adjust to what worked last year and make some changes.
September 10th, 2012 at 10:59 pm
The Lane Kiffin 2.0 era has begun! The only difference is that Kiffin 1.0 actually had Cable to teach the zone blocking scheme. Next week will actually be a good test for the Raiders Offense. The Fin’s played the Texans this week and had all that time to prepare for the exact same offense that they will see with the Raiders. Reggie better be on the phone right now with Alex Gibbs so he can save this O-Line. Also, great idea not to give Goethel any reps during the preseason as long snapper. Because Condo really needed the reps with a punter that had no shot at making the team. DA better spend a LOT of time with that offense. Marcel Reese got one carry and was targeted twice? WTF??

I hate that I agree with most of this. While the D played well, all things considered, the pass defense is going to be a problem. Alot of wide open guys today.. Run D looks GREAT, even if it was Ronnie Brown. Hopefully that holds up

The Every year’s offseason dream is over!!!
September 10th, 2012 at 11:01 pm
I still won my ff with Moore out and no receiver in his place. WOOT
September 10th, 2012 at 11:01 pm
Tonight’s game told us a few things.
1.- What we all feared from Knapps offense became a reality. Carson has nothing to do with this, the problem is when you call plays designed to gain 3 to 4 yards when you are 3rd and long. McFadden is a beast, but when you call his number over and over and over again the D will soon be on him like white on rice. I am afraid that if this keeps up he will get injured by game 3 and then we will really be up a creek.
2.- The D is greatly improved. Can you believe our run D? That was nice to see. Burris played lights out I thought. However, I do see some issues with our passing D. I mentioned during the offseason that this could be an ongoing problem into the season and I think it is. Hopefully it gets corrected.
3.- Penalties. Kelly’s were the two of most impact in my opinion. It is the first game, so I will hold off on judgement on this matter. But it needs to get addressed.
4.- Special Teams. Something else I mentioned in the preseason. It was horrible then, and it is horrible now. Granted we lost Condo, still, that only made things go beyond embarassing.
5.- Despite what many of you may think, I think that Streater did pretty good. For his first game ever. Hagan did alright too. DHB wasn’t really used all that much. I don’t think I saw Criner in there. Myers had a couple nice catches too. All our receivers did ok, though none had that wow factor that really good receivers have, like when you go up in the air and come down with the ball. HOpefully Moore and Ford will bring that to the table.
6.- SD zeroed in on McFadden the whole game and we had no answer to that. That falls on the OC. When your main guy is being tripled you go to your #2 and #3, like Reece or DHB, in this game I would think those two should’ve been the secondary go to guys. Since we didn’t have Moore or Ford. But no, the OC chose to keep feeding it to McFadden eventhough there were 3 SD guys on him almost all the time. I think he went to him 4 times in a row at one point. Of course he is going to be worn down and the D will be expecting him to get the ball. No adjustments what so ever on offense.
Let’s hope this game serves as a lesson and DA starts getting on the Offense and Special Teams about their performance. The coaches mainly.
Oh, and one more thing, Keep Condo!

F) McClain was only bright spot on D
G) Sign a TE (Cooley) Immediately
H) FIRE Knapp and hire Al Saunders or at the very least let him take over play calling duties
I) DHB is lost out there, thanks to Knapp again

In order for Knapp to come to terms of what is to be done he must address this one question. Can the Raiders establish a ruuning game from a zone blocking scheme he wanted to impliment. If he thinks so keep it. If he really is not dead set on it let it go because it will hinder the team future progress. Raiders fans know you have to get Reece more involved that is a given. But what I really feel Knapp and the others involved fail to see is in the zone blocking scheme there was a catching tightend waiting to devour the voids in the defense when mistakes were made. The Raiders tightend are rarely to take advantage of that. Meyers came alive abit at the end of the game to confirm that theory. The Raiders need to use EVERY player to their advantage on offense and that is what Hue was good at. Hue would have been great at the same thing with the Raiders on offense with one more year but he was let go. Knapp needs to stop being one step slower than everyone else he is going to face and DA needs to see that he gets the job done.
