The spread
September 23rd, 2012 at 1:09 am
I got five on it.
September 23rd, 2012 at 1:13 am
This game is important for several reasons.
1) It could be a potential tie-breaker
2) Don’t want to be 0-3 heading into Dungver (then ATL)
3) Can are O do anything against a sub-par defense?
4) How will the secondary look
5) If it gets bad, when and how do the fans react?

You been hiding in the bushes, 8Raider?
September 23rd, 2012 at 1:19 am
I haven’t given up on Knapp yet and am not certain the scheme is bad. I have not liked a lot of the play calling with the 1st down pass fail and give it to Dmac every single time on 2nd. If I know its coming, I think their ‘D’ does to
September 23rd, 2012 at 1:20 am
9th woot
September 23rd, 2012 at 1:22 am
While I have the stage I will say more than anything else I want to see more than 1 touchdown. I mean if we get the win fine, but were gonna need TDs if we want to be a playoff team.
I will also be looking at player/coach body language. Football is a pure effort game and you can tell fairly easily when players have checked out. Are they hustling to the ball, finishing blocks, stripping the ball? These are all things I see in teams that produce wins. Despite what Knapp says this team has no excuse to not be ready schematically. The real problem is there is no one on the team I think is qualified to call O plays. I know everyone says Saunders, but he never called plays under Hue.
I guess the key to this game is the o-line. If they suck its gonna be another long day at O.co.
Oh yeah….. And “Just Tackle Baby”

Dont get me wrong I still read the posts cuz they’re funny, but when people are screaming fire everyone there’s no room for reasonable discussion.
I don’t think Aaron Rodgers and the coach in GB had a great season their first year. Its a loooooooong road to a SB.
September 23rd, 2012 at 1:31 am
8Raider, I don’t think Hue called many plays that weren’t in Saunders book already.
September 23rd, 2012 at 1:33 am
We need to start winning to get on that road. Let’s start tomorrow.
September 23rd, 2012 at 1:34 am
But I did like Hues playcalling.
September 23rd, 2012 at 1:35 am
I can’t wait to hear tomorrow, …. TOUCHDOWN RRRRRAIDERS!!!

Get me the ball Danny, get me the ball.
September 23rd, 2012 at 2:03 am
Man i hope our DTs take over the game tmorrow. Theys capable and deep and Pit is vulnerable…
September 23rd, 2012 at 2:09 am
So can our offense score 4 tds? Can the ST start to contribute to field pos &/or turnovers? Can the D force some?
September 23rd, 2012 at 2:21 am
So can our offense score 4 tds? ////////Before game 1 I expected 3 per game at least. Expectations went down rapidly. But I still hope for 3or 4 TD’s per game and will hopefully get back to expecting them shortly. Hope springs eternal. That should be our new motto.
September 23rd, 2012 at 2:21 am

Game is at 10pm here I think.

Crappy thing is, because its such a religious country, NOTHING is open on Sundays let alone Sunday evenings.
September 23rd, 2012 at 3:22 am
Hope you took care of the vino or cervesa ayer. Man bad spanglish and no Italiano mixed in. I’m multilingual in no languages. And 12 beers in. Maybe more.
September 23rd, 2012 at 3:32 am
haha.
Vino e Birre
I dont like wine. But the wine here is unlike any in America. I may need a bottle to get thru tonites game.
September 23rd, 2012 at 3:34 am
I wouldnt say Im fluent multi-lingual.
I can do Spanish fairly well. Im about 50/50 with my Italian.
I’d like to get my Italian up to par with my Spanish and then Im going to tackle French.
I’d like to add a 5th language eventually. Im undecided on which one. Either Russian or German. Probably German.
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:04 am
I’ve been dealing with a sometimes tenant sometimes ranch worker for the last ten years who supposedly hails from oaxaca which I think is central Mexico but he looks mayan and his english is as bad as my Spanish and what I have picked up from him draws looks of incomprehension from others that are presumably speaking regular conversational Spanish. That in conjunction with my high school Spanish has left me in complete command of the English language and floundering elsewhere.

September 23rd, 2012 at 7:52 am
Go Raiders!.
Lots of football still to be played, you never know how things will be looking by week 10 or so, we can turn this thing around starting today.
I’m looking for a breakout performance from the Defense, even without starting caliber CB’s, I’m looking for the front 7 to dominate the Steelers OL making Ben uncomfortable and forcing him into some mistakes, DB’s should alternate between roughing up those nimble WR’s at the LOS with the confidence of having help over the top and playing off while making sure they tackle well.
I’m looking for a TD from the Defense or ST’s and for the Offense to do just enough to get away with a close win, say a TD and a couple of FG’s.

Defensive TD for Raiders today, special teams only if Pittsburgh fumbles a return.
September 23rd, 2012 at 8:08 am
Raiders’ defense will need at least two turnovers and four sacks for our Raiders to win.

He takes way too many hits.
So far, we havent seen one of these “mobile 21st century” QBs be able to hold up.
This new breed of bigger guys like Cam and TP are a different story. But the Fran Tarkenton, Gannon, RG3, Vick thing still just looks like a lost cause.

Is Chekwa that bad that the Raiders have to bring in practice squaders from other teams? Seems like he had the perfect opportunity to step up.
September 23rd, 2012 at 8:51 am
Well guys,
This is our first true “MUST WIN” of the season if we hope to salvage it.
The previous two were games we “should have” won. If we could have came out of the first 5 games 2-3, we would have still been in good shape. I guess I’d rather we lost the first two and won three straight than the other way around. Either way, 2-3 and a 5-5 record by the time we hit week 10 is what we needed for the stretch run.
We lost two games we should have won, now we need to win two games we were expected to lose. That starts with Pitt. Thus making this the first MUST WIN of the season.

It doesnt say much good about the kid.
But there could always be another reason we are holding back. What are the rules regarding the practice squad? Once you sign a player from your own PS, he cant go back onto it that season can he?

http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/2008/09/30/al-davis-after-the-cameras-were-off-kiffin-conned-me-like-you-conned-all-you-people/
There’s a reason why I don’t ask Al Davis questions at his formal news conferences–such as today’s all-timer: Because he’s always much better and more lucid in the informal give-and-take of the post-press conference gaggle.
Today it happened again. He cracked jokes. He asked me if I was applying for a job with the Raiders (no!). He gave Annie K. a nod.
He’s a beaut. That double-dip Al press conference was incredible. But you’ve heard most of it or seen it or have gotten astonished word of mouth from the TV or radio.
This is what you couldn’t hear–but what the most determined Al-ologists crave: The relaxed Al, taking on all questions, just being Al, crazier than ever.
–A partial transcript of the gaggle…
-Q: Kiffin had that reputation at USC as a tough personality to like. Do you think you didn’t vet him well?
-AL DAVIS: No, I think he conned me like he conned all you people.
-Q: Why not fire Kiffin in training camp?
-DAVIS: Because I still thought there was hope. I’ve got a young quarterback. I still thought there was hope that he could see the light. Where he really popped off and started, it was Rob Ryan after the Denver game.
-Q: Who did Kiffin want to draft instead of JaMarcus?
-DAVIS: There were several. Every day it was different, that’s the thing. He didn’t want Russell. At one time he wanted Brady Quinn. At one time Calvin Johnson. At one time to trade it.
-Q: Why did you trade Moss if you knew he was good?
-DAVIS: They didn’t want him.
-Q: They?
-DAVIS: Not the coaches. They were coming in brand new. That was a big thing on their minds.
Plus, you know how many teams turned him down. That guy in Green Bay thought he couldn’t run any more. Even Denver, where they’ll take anybody, turned him down.
But what’s his name knew he could run, he’s a friend of Belichick’s. Mike Lombardi. Mike sold what’s his name, Belichick, on the idea that he could run. They tampered with him. I remember Bob Kraft saying that he had to look him in the eye and all that. They went down and worked him out, he could run. He’s their team, of course, with the quarterback.
September 23rd, 2012 at 9:09 am
-Q: Mike Lombardi was a loyal guy for years…
-DAVIS: Mike Lombardi? Yes, he was all right.
-Q: And he’s taking shots at you…
-DAVIS: That’s part of life. You just live with those things. He was with me eight years. Mike Lombardi has been fired from every job he’s had. Every job. He can’t get a job. Last year he was fired from a job he was working for for nothing. He was fired from Denver. But he does have ability. He does have some ability.
But he was bad to Shell. Not necessary. You can’t get that in an organization, somebody in the organization bad-mouthing the coach.
-Q: Nobody can do that?
-DAVIS: Well, you can do it a little bit, seriously. But it’s tough, you know. It just wasn’t right. Shell was… been here all his life. I just… would stick up for him, so both of them had to go.
-Q: You’ve also got Lofton, Rathman, Knapp, Ryan… A lot of guys you passed over for Cable. What was the main reason you picked him and not those guys?
-DAVIS: Because I think he can do a better job. With the team.
-Q: With the organizational structure, is all you need is a new head coach to fix things?
-DAVIS: No. No, I’ve got to one or two other things. I mentioned some other things, Jerry, that are coming up here. Possibly a work stoppage. Possible an uncapped year in 2010. We have to prepare for that.
Stadium. There’s a lot going on. Trask is involved in a lot of that stuff, Amy Trask. There’s a lot going on in the business side of football today. We have the negotiations with the players, that was a blow that hurt me personally, because he was a close friend, Gene Upshaw.
And I’m running into that quite a bit now, losing people. I lost Jack Faulkner the other day. I don’t know if any of you know him. He was with the Rams. I had to talk to him while he was on his deathbed. I guess there’s no one left but me. Maybe I’m the only one left who can talk to these guys.
-Q: Do you think this organization have a need for any more football people?
-DAVIS: Yes, I do. There’s one guy I’m looking at now.
-Q: A senior executive?
-DAVIS: It would be an executive role, yeah.
-Q: Would you wait until the off-season before making the move?
-DAVIS: Yeah, I’d wait ‘til this off-season. Yeah, I’ve talked to the person, pretty much. It’d be unique. He’s local.
-Q: Can you give us a name?
-DAVIS: Local.
September 23rd, 2012 at 9:11 am
Some good stuff I had not read before in kawakamis report
Q: Your son Mark has been around a lot more recently. What aspect of the organization is he involved in?
-DAVIS: He’s business and perhaps he’s doing some work on stadium. Business and stadium. He doesn’t want to get involved in football. He used to know all the players. He still does. They were his vintage—Cliff Branch and all those guys, Fred Biletnikoff, all those guys.
He never understood how I could let someone go. He just doesn’t want to get into that part of it.
But he will own it some day. That is… if they let me go to my maker.
-Q: You said to somebody that you wanted to win two more Super Bowls and then retire…
-DAVIS: I didn’t say retire. I just want to win two more.
-Q: But could you retire?
-DAVIS: All joking aside, sure.
-Q: It keeps coming up, so Al, how’s your health?
-DAVIS: Other than the quadriceps and a little trouble with the walking, based on total balance, I’m fine. I’m healthy. You’re going to have to have me around for a while.
I’m fine, really. I take all the tests four times a year. I get a check up on everything, echo and all those things. All the blood work, I do that four times a year.
My mother, you know, she lived a long time, 103. I hope nothing happens. Because disease is the one thing, boy I tell you, it’s tough to lick. It’s tough to lick those goddamn diseases. I don’t know why they can’t.
It bothers me they wont let us use… and it doesn’t mean that I’m Republican or Democrat… the stem-cell. I think it could help.
-Q: I don’t think we’ve talked to you since last year when you sold a 20% stake to outside investors for the first time. Can you explain why you did that?
-DAVIS: You should’ve called me. The fact (is that it wasfor)… estate planning.
-Q: For Mark?
-DAVIS: Well, obviously.
In 2011, that rule comes back. You know it’s down to about 10% in 2010 or no estate tax and then I think in 2011 or 12, right in there, the estate comes back… you have to correct me, does it go back to about 48%?
September 23rd, 2012 at 9:12 am
Q: You’ve had other coaches who’ve gone through the Raiders to future success. You think that could happen with Kiffin?
-DAVIS: Here’s what I would say: When Shanahan left me, he went to Denver. He was there for about four or five years as an assistant and they fired him for insubordination. Dan Reeves and he had a big battle. He went to the 49ers and he learned their style of football and when Dan Reeves failed in Denver, the first guy they had was Wade Phillips, I think… then he brought Shanahan back. And Shanahan had success. But Shanahan has an asterisk next to those two Super Bowls, because they were caught cheating.
Now Norv Turner does a good job as a coordinator and he’s doing a good job as a head coach. Now let’s see what he does. He’s got a good team. Let’s see what he does. I might have been impetuous with him. But he was a good guy.
If you remember with Norv, the first thing Norv did was let Tim Brown go. And I had to have a press conference up in Napa about Tim Brown leaving. And then about two games into the season, he forgot that Jerry Rice caught a pass in every game. He forgot to throw him the ball and he broke his streak. They threw him the ball, it went through his hands and then they didn’t come back to him. And so Jerry Rice said he wanted to be traded.
I’m not making excuses here. And then the next year I got him Kerry and Randy and it was pretty good. But we couldn’t win so that thing didn’t go.
Now who else was here?
-Q: Gruden?
-DAVIS: Jon. You’ve got to make your own decision. Jon was a good coach. But don’t forgot, I took Jon, no one else even knew who he was.
Jon’s first two years, he was in tough. He won a big game that kept him alive. You know which game that was? Kansas City… that’s pretty good. You ought to be over here with us…
The Tuck Game was the undoing of a lot of things.
-Q: Was it accurate that you talked Javon Walker out of retirement during training camp?
-DAVIS: I don’t know. See, that’s the problem. I’m pretty close to some of the players and I try to stay away from them. I stay away because I don’t want the head coach to be upset.
Javon can play. He can play.
-Q: Do the new minority partners have any option to buy in the future?
-DAVIS: Everyone has an option to buy a limited. But not to buy the… no… No, I have options to buy a limited. Everyone has that option.
No, as long as we’re alive, and then there’s the possibility of Trask. I think I want to do something for her. That’s Amy Trask. Other than Carol and Mark, no… other than maybe her.
September 23rd, 2012 at 9:14 am
-Q: Are you looking for more investors?
-DAVIS: No. I could have them in a minute. I want to see where we’re going to end up with the stadium.
-Q: How is the stadium stuff going?
-DAVIS: We’ll see. We’re working with the city of Oakland. We’re working.
-Q: Could you stay at the Coliseum after the lease expires in 2010 the way it’s set up currently?
-DAVIS: Of course we want a new one. I wouldn’t negotiate with you right now or with the media. I don’t know if the newspapers will be in existence (in 2010).
Theres some good comments as well.

It’d be nice if we had some good news about the Raiders. A win would be nice, but man…i’m having trouble trying to figure how that’s gonna happen with our decimated cornerback situation.
One thing I don’t like is the excuses…and they have plenty ready if Pitt. hammers us. “Well our cornerback situation…we’re still adjusting to the new scheme”, or my favorite …”we just didn’t get it done today…we’ll take a look at the film and see if we can get better”. Oh, THAT one is my personal favorite.

Cam Newton’s mental makeup worrying Panthers?
What a difference one grueling, nationally televised loss has made for Cam Newton.
Chris Mortensen reported on ESPN’s “Sunday Countdown” that the Carolina Panthers are “privately concerned” about their quarterback’s mental makeup in the wake of Thursday’s loss to the New York Giants. Newton, according to Mortensen, has logged time with a “mind coach” to help him adjust to the heightened expectations and pressures surrounding the second-year starter.
Lombardi: Deep Blue
The Giants have depth that is second to none, Michael Lombardi writes, and it showed in Thursday night’s win in Carolina. More …
More disturbing than Newton’s poor play against New York’s defense was the visual of the passer sulking on the bench, something that tweaked his veteran receiver, Steve Smith, and didn’t sit well with observers.
Where’s that mistic guy?

Personally, I’m thrilled that MA will b lighting that torch today. It’s a great move on so many levels. Idc why Davis did what he did to Allen.. It was wrong. It violated the theme of ‘Just win baby,’ and it was an obvious personal decision, not a personnel one. It was embarrassing, and in some ways I was happy to see Allen’s success w the Chefs. Never wanted to see the Chefs do well, of course, but always routed for Allen. Class act and huge part of our last SB victory over the Redskins. And if you wanna talk about meaningful games? If you discount the Gruden years, that was basically our last meaningful game (I’m sure there were actually others, but it just feels like it), and that was almost 30 YEARS AGO. Thanks for coming back MA, and if anyone in that stadium has the b@lls to boo you, then they aren’t true fans. Not at all.

I just can’t bring myself to predict against my team.

Screw Mucas. He is there for one reason and one reason alone.
The money grubbing ho is getting paid big bucks.
I stand By Mister Davis may he RIP

I’d fix dichotomous but there’s no point.

Maybe the football God’s will bring us success, health and wins now that Marcus has returned to pay his respects.

Watching this Dallas-TB game, it’s like the Raiders playing the Raiders/////////Because of the awesome play on both sides of the line? or the the ineptitude? Wait, that ain’t happening today. No negativity.

Line play. Special teams gaffes. Penalties.

Sorry fellas but I stand with Al.
Besides, MA is doing it for the money.

An image I will never forget:

And hope to never see again. Al did a lot of great things, no doubt. But this move was the epitome of all he did wrong as well. And the beginning IMO of our decline from the ranks of elite NFL teams. Prior to that, it seemed like we could do no wrong. 3 SB and a BS immaculate reception away from 1 or 2 more. What have we done since, plunketthead? Really?
September 23rd, 2012 at 11:58 am
JFB, you want to put some coin down on the wash cin game?
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:00 pm
I would take newton over palmer any day of the week.
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:00 pm
Im a man of Faith, i beleive whats in my heart more than my eyes!

@Thec
Palmer is a 9-year NFL starter at QB [did not start as a rookie]
Newton will not be in the league that long. If he is, he wont be starting
both QB’s might finish with the same amount of playoff wins, though
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:06 pm
JFB, 25 snacks, wash cin. I take wash
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:08 pm
@ RR, dont try to convince me. My opinion, i will take Newton.
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:08 pm
The word snacks just reminded me that I have one rolled up. Off I go!
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:09 pm
in his 1st start for Chicago, Bush is averaging 3.4 ypc
whee!!
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:09 pm
Per Twitter, Huff and Lee are starting at corner today with Gio at FS, and Bergs and Parsons will be the backup o-linemen.
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:11 pm
And how humiliating is this for Barksdale that he’s STILL inactive?
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:11 pm
of the early games, it would be nice to see the 49ers & Chiefs lose!!

Raiders are 2-14 when DMAC rushes for 50 yards or less.
btw Raiders loss in 2nd half last week then free falled from there because they didnt seal the edge on the run and MISSED TACKLES.
FCK D TACKLE.. U MUST TACKLE
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:19 pm
AJ Green may be the best receiver in the NFL.
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:19 pm
Missed/Poor tackling=Players giving up.

What a dumb comment. Get the funk out of here with that mess.
Most passing yards for a Rookie ever? Offensive rookie of the year. Made the pro bowl.

“Sup fellas.
Actually have a good feeling about this one. Raiders are a wounded animal. Always dangerous. Backed into a corner. Gotta come out swinging. And any other cliche’s you wanna throw in there.
But seriously, Pittsburgh can be had. We just need Shownasty, Houston Seymour and Kelly and co. to overwhelm Steelers patchwork O-line..in order to protect our own patchwork secondary.
I hope Knapp doesn’t try to just slam DMac right at Pitt. Pick your spots to use him. Spread em out and let Carson pick em apart. He’s seen all LeBeau’s blitz packages. Look for DMoore and Streater to have big days. Then we need DHB to do his best Demarius Thomas impersonation and break a long one.
Raiders need this one and get it. Silver and Black break out…27-17.
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:54 pm
Which overpaid Raider is gonna step up and make a danm play today? F the zbs system .. Just make a play on D and O
Get a turnover
Today is gonna tell me alot about how hard these players play for ALLEN
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:56 pm
Steelers can be had… but are the Raiders the team to come out and win .. or lay down?
I see no emotion even on D.. no Leaders who are vocal
September 23rd, 2012 at 1:09 pm
NoKC no KC noKC, or someyhing like that.
