End 1st qtr: Raiders 3, Falcons 0

By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, October 14th, 2012 at 10:37 am in Oakland Raiders.

A 52-yard field goal by Sebastian Janikowski and some surprisingly stout pass defense by the Raiders were the story of the first quarter.

Joselio Hanson and Michael Huff recorded Oakland’s first two interceptions of the season. Carson Palmer’s 49-yard rainbow to Denarius Moore helped set up the Oakland field goal.

    Knapp need sto use TJONES…Speed kills atl

  3. ChrisinNC Says:

    Where are replays for some of the close calls and some of the penalties on us? Coverage usually shows a lot more of those…

  4. Method To My Madness Says:

    The Middle of the Raiders dline is so sad

  5. Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

    The defense still looks like sh*t.

  6. RaiderRockstar Says:

    ****************

    Dummy Huff did finally make a play…and Kelly was gettin held….did you not watch the play?

    Why dont you travel down to the game next week and tell me that schit so i can beat the living fk outta you
    =====================================================
    We’ve been through this before. You want to be surrounded by friends, or you refuse to meet. I was in Jack London square last year, waiting on you. Gave you address, everything. You still had EXCUSES why you didn’t show.
    Same excuses you have for the Raiders stinking the place up. Excuses.
    Excuses. That’s all you know, excuses. And more excuses.

  16. Method To My Madness Says:

  21. Raider O Says:

    Branch!!!!

  22. eastoaklandraider Says:

    you guys think were gonna win this game . lol

  23. Al_is_theraiders Says:

    ahh zone covg…just what everyone wanted…but als defense was sooo horrible…

  24. ChrisinNC Says:

    Thanks offense for not taking advantage.

  25. alex7 Says:

    fantasy TD, steal of draft, Matt Ryan 5th round

  26. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Tyvon Branch sucks

  27. J Hill Says:

    LOL

    Branch shows up on film again giving up another TD.

    SMH

  28. Method To My Madness Says:

    Ha….yep well Al’s man to man outdated defense not looking so bad eh? lol…zone zone zone…..let’s drop back Andre Carter the DE who we signed to generate qb pressure…Tarver is in over his head

  29. Sullivan44 Says:

    I’ll make it easy on you, Brian. We’ll meet halfway. Diablo Creek Country Club, in Pittsburg. 3:00 today. Putting green. What’s the excuse this time?

  30. eastoaklandraider Says:

    let the blowout begin.

  31. Al_is_theraiders Says:

    bur these dumbaszse in here want zone covg

  32. RAIDERMAN99 Says:

    Yeah, Slo is a FORCE against the run. NOT.

    Why’s he on the sideline ?

    Injured or benched ?

  33. morilla Says:

    Everyone runs on us with 55 ON the field. Tarver finally got sick of his jogging. Good for him.

  34. Marks hair Says:

    Signing huff and branch was such a mistake

  35. RaiderRockstar Says:

    time to revive the offense, Knapp!

  36. alex7 Says:

    Remember when our man defense averaged 27th in the league for a decade straight?

    AND we had to pay $8 million per year to every decent corner?

    AND no decent DBs would come here because of how outdated our system was?

    Yeah.

    Al’s whole philosophy is looking pretty good right now, including no GM.

    Yeah, Slo is a FORCE against the run.

  40. JT Says:

    Knapp is on thin ice

  41. Marks hair Says:

    I like a mix of mostly man some zone.. this all soft zone all day is worse than als all man all day…

  42. Al_is_theraiders Says:

    alex7 watch your precious zone get eaten up today..again….

  43. DT42 Says:

    Guard pulls and McFadden runs for positive yards. Wide zone and he runs for a loss.

    I’ll take Burris in the middle over Slo right now.

    Wasn’t Goethel in there. It was 56 in the middle.

  51. J Hill Says:

    Flags, flags, flags

  52. ChrisinNC Says:

    Wow…. Frickin Willie Smith. Garbage.

  53. Al_is_theraiders Says:

  58. Plunketthead Says:

    WOW unleash the Knapple!!!

  59. Marks hair Says:

    Its like knapp read this blog and is running our playbook today

  60. J Hill Says:

    Goodson is the reason Jones isn’t playing!

  61. DT42 Says:

    Jones is still running if he caught that screen.

  62. MistaBrown Says:

    Goodson has football speed.

  63. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Right guard Mike Brisiel hurt on the play.

    ***

    addition by subtraction!!

  64. Thec Says:

    We are going to win in spite of knapp and his schitty play calling…

  65. alex7 Says:

    Al

    even if it does, how is that different than the man for the last 10 years?

    At least these guys now PRACTICE zone so can be half-decent at it by next year when it matters.

    lol, remember QBs laughing at how easy it was to prep for us? You act like EVERY solid D out there doesn’t play plenty of zone.

  66. J Hill Says:

    B,

    Are you going to Staples for the Ws game?

    Its the superbowl and the coaching staff is making some amazing calls

  69. realtruraider Says:

    We are goin to have to beat the Mob Refs this game

  70. Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

    Wheres #83?

  72. morilla Says:

    I would like to…Staples is a nice venue and I wanna see the LA Live scene

  75. Plunketthead Says:

    Dang it I thought DMAC had that one

    OK 4 plays to punch it in

  76. Marks hair Says:

    Waaay les zone runs today

  77. ChrisinNC Says:

    Good playcalling today.

    But remember guys…. It’s the first half. Knapp seems to crash and burn in the 2nd half of games.

  78. J Hill Says:

    Run the damn ball man!!!!!

  79. RAIDERMAN99 Says:

    Air resistance > Slo resistance

  80. Method To My Madness Says:

    Myers gotta catch that!…but you gotta run on 2nd and goal right?

  81. TailGater Raider Says:

    Not enough faith to run yet.

  82. JT Says:

    LOL

  83. C2E Says:

    damn stretch play never works on goal line

  84. Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

    Go for it!

  85. Marks hair Says:

    Fùcking zone stretch!!!!

  86. Thec Says:

    fuc greg knappp

  87. TailGater Raider Says:

    ZBS and knapp at the top of the game at the 1.

  88. burn_209 Says:

    One yard. One god damn yard and we run sideways.

  89. MistaBrown Says:

    C’mon Myers!!!

    FK

  90. Method To My Madness Says:

    Greg Knapp and his zbs at the goaline is a joke man

  91. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Raiders goal-line OL is a joke, but Myers should have caught that!!

  92. J Hill Says:

    Arsse backwards Knapp.

    Run on 2nd, pass on 3rd.

    But gawd damn shame our Oline gets moved back 2yds.

    Savage my arsse!!!

  93. ghosttothepost Says:

    What a TD challenged team. Unbelievable.

  94. JT Says:

    Penetration will kill you

  95. Marks hair Says:

    God damn idiot!!!

  96. TailGater Raider Says:

    Yea knapp. way to go. WTF!

  97. alex7 Says:

    This FG guarantees our loss today.

    You don’t kick FGs after 1st and goals and beat an undefeated team.

  98. RAIDERMAN99 Says:

    Same old Krapp on 3rd and goal.

    Same old failure.

    Thought we saw that about 10 times in the pre-season.

  99. Thec Says:

    greg knapp = schit

  100. ChrisinNC Says:

    Should’ve tried straight up the gut from that close. Bad call.

  101. Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

    Soon we will be down 14-6 instead of up 10-6. Bad goal line play once again is going to kill us.

  102. Thec Says:

    fuk you doing passing on 2nd down…Run the ball dikhead

  103. Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

    *10-7

  104. Al_is_theraiders Says:

    nah alex i remember cassell and orton spiking the ball in disgust…know i see qvs having their best days even rookie qbs…

    ======================================

    That’s being kind. ZBS is a horrible game plan at the 1.

  106. morilla Says:

    I’m just happy it’s not 24-0 at this point.

  107. MaddenRaiderisadouchebag Says:

    Typical Knapp Goalline offense….You are fu**king horrible! 14-6 now! Thanks azzwhole!

  108. Marks hair Says:

    Zbs at the goaline! Zbs at the goaline! Zbs at the goaline! Zbs at the goaline!

  109. Plunketthead Says:

    One thing is for sure
    DA has the team ready to play back east after a bye
    He is young and will get much better

  110. beach Says:

    Another tell tale sign from the preseason. We cannot score at the goal line without Michael Bush. Atlanta and played bad and still has the lead.

  111. Method To My Madness Says:

    Knapp is the worse OC I’ve ever seen…Tom Walsh even woulda ran straight up gut on that

  112. JT Says:

    That the diference between good teams and bad teams

  113. VanHeathen30 Says:

    Knapp still has trouble getting us in the end zone…
    All these yards and 6 freakin points…sheesh

  114. Marks hair Says:

    FÙCK YOU KNAPP!!

  115. Method To My Madness Says:

    Thank god….finally some pressure!

  116. J Hill Says:

    Knit picking a bit here folks.

    Dame good game played so far. Perfect? No.

    Have them right where we want them though.

  117. morilla Says:

    SloMo is benched. Finally.

  118. Plunketthead Says:

    We have been getting pressure all day
    Thats real good news

  119. ChrisinNC Says:

    That was a coverage sack. A COVERAGE sack. The only way our D-line gets a sack is if the WEAKEST link on our team, the secondary, plays out of their minds. What a joke.

  120. alex7 Says:

    that sack brought to you by a zone D blanketing the WRs.

  121. Method To My Madness Says:

    At least 99 pct of blog is on board with the Knapp hate…where are the 1 pct who defend this crap?

  122. Marks hair Says:

    Dmac plowed to the 2.. run it up the gut ÁSSHOLE!!

  123. J Hill Says:

    Can’t cover the TE, and everyone knows it.

  124. Method To My Madness Says:

    Well that’s game now…..needed to stop them and couldnt….typical

  125. TailGater Raider Says:

    What do you got to say about this Allen? Still goin to bat for your butt buddy?

  126. J Hill Says:

    DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  127. ghosttothepost Says:

    A pass rush is a beautiful thing.

  128. C2E Says:

    PRESSURE!!

  129. alex7 Says:

    that holding penalty brought to you by:

    man-to-man D pitting some no-name LBer vs Tony G.

  130. Method To My Madness Says:

    Holy schit what a blitz!….yes Branch finally has a play made!

  131. Marks hair Says:

    Great blitz

  132. alex7 Says:

    Remember how Al hated blitzes?

    Haha.

  133. Plunketthead Says:

    WOW third interception

    The Mad scientist!!

  134. ChrisinNC Says:

    Sorry defense. I am really sorry that all your effort is going to waste.

    SORRY

  136. MistaBrown Says:

    That no name LB just blew up M Ryan and forced a fumble.

    ===================================

    No need to be a knapp apologist. Just can’t punch it in from the one. Couldn’t in pre-season, can’t do it now.

  139. Marks hair Says:

    Just go power knapp

  140. JT Says:

    If u cant score 7 here, u dont belong in the nfl knapp

  141. Method To My Madness Says:

    Wheeler smacked that punk

  142. Plunketthead Says:

    Meth
    Firebaby is missing otherwise He would be happy to see the Knapple getting his due

  143. ghosttothepost Says:

    TD, please … please.

  144. RAIDERMAN99 Says:

    So is 55 injured or benched ?

  145. Thec Says:

    fuc greg knappp…The D is ballin, knapp keeping atl in the game…

    Deion in his prime cant guard you for 5-6 seconds

  148. beach Says:

    3 INTs is great, but if we only go into the half with a 9-7 lead, we’re done. We need a TD right now!

  149. Marks hair Says:

    Knapp running that strech every time we get to the 1 is why we never score… if we ran 3 times up the middle we would have 10

  150. Thec Says:

    55 benched, he isnt worth a schit

  151. alex7 Says:

    Mista

    it’s different for a no-name LB to blitz and be sprung free by a well-designed blitz.

    a WHOLE nother thing to ask said no-name LB to cover Tony G. one-on-one in a big down

  152. Thec Says:

    run right at these fuc

  153. JT Says:

    Wheeler put a lick on #2 that he wont firget

    LOL at the 52-0 crowd this week.

  173. JT Says:

    Bench #55 intil he plays like he did in Alabama

  174. Method To My Madness Says:

    Do more power plays Knapp and we will be much better

  175. MistaBrown Says:

    SeaPerch cant put it deep in a dome after we went for a TD?

  176. Plunketthead Says:

    DA is improving every game, very impressed that we came to play.

    He will fix Knapp. I have no doubt of that

  177. Method To My Madness Says:

    2nd half we start with ball…lets see how knapp and company adjust

  178. Method To My Madness Says:

    Holding!

  179. ChrisinNC Says:

    HEYYYYYY!! FINALLY A PENALTY ON THEM!

  180. alex7 Says:

    Huff beat on man D. Saved by penalty.

    Back to zone please.

  181. Plunketthead Says:

    Huff sucks

  182. DT42 Says:

    Now we see if half time adjustments are made. It’s DA’s game to win or lose.

  183. VanHeathen30 Says:

    right here thec second half is normally where we fold right?

  204. VaRaiderNation Says:

    Im right here thec, 42-13 was my prediction, happy as hell I’m being proved wrong so far. After the Denver beatdown, I didn’t see us competing like we are. This is fcking awesome!!

  205. DT42 Says:

    So the adjustment on offense was to junk the wide zone and go back to a power scheme. Only what everyone on this board has been pointing out all season long. Well everyone except our friend Coach Allen.
