By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, November 4th, 2012 at 1:06 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Once everyone figured out which side they were supposed to be on, the Bucs kicked off to the Raiders, with Mike Goodson taking the ball to the 17-yard line . . .

No McClain to blame on that one.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:10 pm

November 4th, 2012 at 1:10 pm
I’ll see you guys at halftime. Enjoy the game.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:11 pm
3 and out, not a very impresive start for Knapp

if knapp was a good OC wouldnt he have been considered for a HC job like most GOOD OC like sean payton jason garret jon gruden mike martz?
————-
anybody have a worth while answer?
————-
Guess not but I’m not surprised.
——–
Youve been given plenty of worthwhile answers.
The bottom line is this, you dont know football. It isnt your profession. It isnt even your hobby. Watching football is your hobby. And there is a big difference between understanding the game and watching it.
Ive seen the Space Shuttle launch plenty. But you would never see me try to tell a astronaut how to fly it.
You basically argue with people that have much higher football IQs than you. So Im not surprised that you dont see the obvious answers to the questions you ask.

dont wanna answer the question riff? afraid you wont like the answer?
November 4th, 2012 at 1:12 pm
Man I wish Carson Palmer would run for a few 1st downs once in a while. We always have to punt on 3rd and short if the play breaks down.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:14 pm
Dang. Burris was a brilliant pickup by Reggie.

R Griffin is good enough to just stay in pocket all day and find receivers, Washington is retarding his development with this college stuff and getting him killed

Might be a field position game that Shane can really dominate
November 4th, 2012 at 1:18 pm
Why can’t we ever come out guns blazing on offense? Takes us 3 quarters to get warmed up.

Lechler bringing his game after much deserved criticism the past few weeks
November 4th, 2012 at 1:19 pm
Block it good, Throw it good and catch it good. But always short of the marker. Why not run past the marker and execute the playit requires the same effort.
Stupid stupid stupid….I hate it!
November 4th, 2012 at 1:19 pm
You guys see that stat that Myers has the best target/ catch rate of passes over ten yards in the air in the entire NFL?

no DMAC yet???
I like to aggressive play calling though
November 4th, 2012 at 1:20 pm

Atleast we’re putting pressure on Freeman
November 4th, 2012 at 1:21 pm
Why would you run the ball on them when they’re so weak in the secondary, and they have the best run defense in the NFL?
November 4th, 2012 at 1:21 pm
Lets go! Our Defense looks savage tho!

Palmer dropped back and looked for someone to throw to. The WRs that were past the marker just weren’t open.
Like some of us say here every week, but some of you can’t seem to comprehend: RECEIVERS ARE NOT GETTING OPEN.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:22 pm
I jus talked to Kelly the other day bout his aggressiveness. Sometimes he hass to hold back instead of putting the team in the whole.

so many reasons. It doesn’t matter if they are sick vs the run. You HAVE to make a commitment to run the ball.
1We have the most dynamic back in the NFL.
2We HAVE to wear their D down.
3And we have to set up the play action. Why not?
November 4th, 2012 at 1:24 pm

November 4th, 2012 at 1:26 pm
Still scoreless!
November 4th, 2012 at 1:27 pm

Good stand … maybe a miss FG COMING
November 4th, 2012 at 1:28 pm
Joselio! Wait isn’t that a mexican name. Don’t want no other races playing for us.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:28 pm
TP will get his time soon enough but it is not now…
November 4th, 2012 at 1:28 pm
I meant that’s probaby wat Sully uses. Not wat I use. I no into that, you white mthfkers.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:28 pm
Could be worse considering we gifted them 30 yards.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
Oops fox..haha
Block!
November 4th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
Still scoreless. Didn’t I just say that?
November 4th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
Seymour or Kelly block that?
Houston has some moves….TE?
November 4th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
Knapp just found his Bush replacement. Houston!!!
November 4th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
YES , YES , YES, YES , YES ,YES ,YES ,YES, YES ,YES ,YES ,YES,YES
November 4th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
Oh Houston blocked it!
November 4th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
Nice ZBS run!!!
November 4th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
where are all the Houston haters????
November 4th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
HOUSTON bLocked and recovered it , Game changer , but he should have handed that ball to some one else , it should have been a TD
November 4th, 2012 at 1:30 pm
If we can run we can win….period
November 4th, 2012 at 1:30 pm
I should watch this game instead of dealing with you monkeys!
November 4th, 2012 at 1:30 pm
Palmer is determined to throw a pick before he settles down and get going. Sheez!
November 4th, 2012 at 1:30 pm
wtf is Mcfadden doing , maybe Palmer is too strong on those passes
November 4th, 2012 at 1:30 pm
L Houston!!

November 4th, 2012 at 1:31 pm
Palmer need to put a little touch and not be too hard on those dump offs
November 4th, 2012 at 1:32 pm
McFadden is becoming weak. Goes down two easily wen he’s touched.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:32 pm
ZBS is looking beautiful!!!!
November 4th, 2012 at 1:32 pm
So this is what a shoot out looks like.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:32 pm
McFadden with the contacs. As in Lenses.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:32 pm
was that zbs?
November 4th, 2012 at 1:32 pm
I see Mcfadden brought his 20/20 vision glasses today
November 4th, 2012 at 1:32 pm
But not that ieme…did his job…period.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:33 pm
You see what happens when we run the ball!
November 4th, 2012 at 1:33 pm
That was a good call it just wasn’t executed well
November 4th, 2012 at 1:33 pm
Wasting time with the plays to Reece!!!!
November 4th, 2012 at 1:33 pm
RUN THE BALL/
November 4th, 2012 at 1:33 pm
Why aren’t there any black refs? See what I mean? Whole league is like that.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
GOODSON is better receiving the ball out of backfield
November 4th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
Man, all year and they ain’t letting Reece go. Defenses, that is.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
Running ZBS and he’s gashing. Maybe DMac is coming around!
November 4th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
You wanted to get Reece involved, we didn’t go anywhere with him
November 4th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
There was your power run.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
I am sure that was somehow McFadden’s fault too.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
There’s Knapp in the red zone.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
League hates bblack qb’s, black refs, and Al Davis. They hate Al because he was the first to hire a black head coach. This blog is the same
November 4th, 2012 at 1:35 pm
Here is knapps world renound red zone O.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:35 pm
Terrible, terribe IDEAS around the red zone.
SMH
November 4th, 2012 at 1:35 pm
Hopefully, that was his dumb throw of the day.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:35 pm
Look at how CP moves. Like a statue. A black qb is atheletic and would have gotten away from taht rush
November 4th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
F*KKKKKKKKKK… streeter need to stop freaking doing that push thing , should have been a TD
November 4th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
a FG is a fail
November 4th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
We are pushing their D around
By the third/fourth they will be dog tired and DMAC/Goodson will be running all over them
November 4th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
Knapp-time Red zone O…
November 4th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
Why roll out cp3?
November 4th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
Priest, you’re a fck’n retard!
November 4th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
Like i said , Criner and Streeter need to get on the same page
November 4th, 2012 at 1:37 pm
that was a PI on steater
and Knapp second down play was retarded
November 4th, 2012 at 1:37 pm
I liked it better when Priest was MIA.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:37 pm
badly executed plays there
November 4th, 2012 at 1:38 pm
Did that bucs db grab streater’s left arm?
November 4th, 2012 at 1:38 pm
Myers was wide open on that 2nd down play, but the DE stayed home and blew it up.
Power run on 1st down = fail
November 4th, 2012 at 1:38 pm
God i hate knapp
November 4th, 2012 at 1:38 pm
So here is the story…
Last week it was confirmed that my GF is bad luck. We are 3-0 in games she doesnt watch with me.
She left for work an hour ago. Had some errands to run before hand.
We have Tampa backed up on their own 10 yard line….and out of the blue…
My GF comes walking in the door. I say, “what the hell are you doing here?”
She forgot some stuff, and while she was getting it, we start commiting penalties, Philip Wheeler misses a tackle, and Tampa just drives down the field.
I tell her, “GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE NOW!”
As she is walking out the door, we block their field goal attempt.
Coincidence? I think not.
Nice drive by us. Another non-catch in the end zone by our WRs. That is why our red zone offense is so poor.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:38 pm
Touched a nerve huh troll??
Shows what this place is made of. What a waste of time.
Streater cost us 6pts again. It’s getting to be every week now these young WR’s are killing us.

Why? Because Streater doesnt catch a catchable ball?
You have to be smarter than this.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:39 pm
Raiders looked in edge those first couple of drives. Settle down boys.
Pass rush is nice, keep an eye on Carter. He is dominating his guy.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:39 pm
2nd and ELEVEN! Jumbo formation, really? Did Knapp think the defense would buy that play action? And secondly, Streater is WAAAYYY OVERRATED!

I’ve seen plenty of non black QB’s roll out and make that throw. You’re an idiot, enjoy the game and keep the judgement of skin color to yourself.

We beat the worst team in the NFL, the Cheifs. We then beat the second worst team in the nFl, the Jags. If we don’t win big today, then we took a step back. You hav to make a statement in this league to be feared, and no one fear s us now, and thats unacceptable.

terrible bump by Huff. Cmon man
November 4th, 2012 at 1:54 pm
They throw the ball to the left behind the line of scrimmage, they throw the ball to the right behind the line of scrimmage.

Wow, they even threw the fake short of the sticks. Hue must be laffing his azz off. Wow.
November 4th, 2012 at 2:10 pm
I like the fake punt call anyways. I like the aggressive play calling. We at least showed up to play today, now we need our D to step up big time
November 4th, 2012 at 2:11 pm
The D has already stepped up big time
