By Jon Becker
Sunday, November 11th, 2012 at 3:36 am in Oakland Raiders.
The banged-up Oakland Raiders face a daunting task of trying to stop the Baltimore Ravens’ 14-game home winning streak on Sunday. Here’s how some people see the game playing out:

Good Morning Oakland Raiders!!!!
November 11th, 2012 at 3:40 am
Ignore the trolls
November 11th, 2012 at 3:45 am
Its 4:45 and coffee is almost ready.
Some semis stopped by with great takes last night/
Ever notice the trolls get real quite most friday and saturday evenings
November 11th, 2012 at 4:16 am
Good Morning Nation and Plunk!
I imagine DA and Tarver got on the players about the poor tackling last game, so I don’t expect more offenders repeating the same mistakes again.
Baltimore is 22nd against the pass and 28th against the run.
If we manage to amass more than a 100 yds on the ground and win the time of possession, we’ll put ourselves in a good position to steal this game. Getting an early score and taking the crowd out of the game would be a plus.
Win one for coach Williams!
November 11th, 2012 at 4:23 am
Brandian Ross & Coye Francies are hot garbage!!
the fact that we cut Pat Lee and placed Spencer on I.R. about a week before he’s ready to return pisses me off just a little bit
I hope these dopes never get pressed into live action on defense
November 11th, 2012 at 4:27 am
Miami,
I’m thinking the same thing.
Kelly, Bryant, Houston, Bilukidi
Shaughnessy, Tollefson, Carter, Crawford
these guys better play out of their freaking minds today for the D-Line Coach. Flacco & Rice better be seeing stars and throwing their helmets in disgust coming off the field on the sidelines!!
November 11th, 2012 at 4:30 am
prayers out to the Williams family…

These are the games we usually get up for so i’m expecting a good effort. Problem is we’re just too banged up.
Still, we can win this game if we play well……

I posted yesterday that I had an odd dream that the Raiders beat the Titans 39-34, so thats the score i’ll go with.
Oakland Raiders 39-Baltimore 34
November 11th, 2012 at 4:48 am
Allen & Tarver just put the players thru a padded practice with hitting, didn’t they?
just got abused by the Bucs. Terrell’s son dies
the defense should be fired up
offensively, we got Palmer at the QB … the Raven killer
with solid WR’s & TE’s
our run game has been crap, but now enter 2 young horses (Jones & Stewart) ready to showcase their skills
yeah – I think we win by double digits unless Willie Smith gets paid to let defenders blow by him repeatedly (again)
how many years are we gonna have a matador at RT?
After seeing Gallery, Green, Harris, Barnes & Smith … I think Bergstrom could be our best RT of the past 10 years!!
November 11th, 2012 at 4:55 am
last time we played the Ravens, a rookie Flacco ran for a TD passed for a TD and caught a TD. Right?
I don’t miss the “Wildcat” and I hope Harbaugh forgot all about it.
this time their other QB is Tyrod Taylor instead of Troy Smith
November 11th, 2012 at 4:56 am
Baltimore is due for a loss at home.
LOL@ Matador comment…
Couldn’t we have Richard Gordon lined up to help Smith block?
November 11th, 2012 at 4:58 am
One thing that cracks me up when you read all lot of the previews for the Oak/Bal game is all the “experts” make such a big deal about McFadden not playing.
The reality is he he has been a non factor with the exception of the big run against Pittsburgh and closing out the KC game.
November 11th, 2012 at 5:02 am
Couldn’t we have Richard Gordon lined up to help Smith block?
***
yes, but that limits your offense by taking a playmaker off the field
Palmer would have to make more with less, but I’m sure he’d rather do that than pull grass out of his facemask every series
November 11th, 2012 at 5:05 am
I was a little confused about the release of Pat lee.
After watching some film and seeing his responsibilty in the Doug Martin big runs I can see why they are making an example of him. If D. Martin is even some what contained last sunday the Raiders would likely be 4-4.
November 11th, 2012 at 5:05 am
HB,
the media knows nothing. They probably think DMAC is playing like a Top 5 RB right now, just because he was healthy
That bodes well for us during the offseason, because if we stick with Knapp’s WCO/ZBS I think McFadden will be traded. 2013 is his “contract year” and he’ll be a FA in 2014
November 11th, 2012 at 5:06 am
I want coach Williams to be our Pagano inspiration.
November 11th, 2012 at 5:08 am
HB,
we are two Carson Palmer 4th quarter WTF interceptions away from being 5-3 instead of 3-5

It sucks that we are 3-5 but it is good to see the fight in this team. The old Raiders (last decade specifically) would have rolled over after being down in the 4th quarter. Makes you feel like you have a fighting chance even when the chips are down.

CP3 will have same stat line as last week, hopefully minus the int’s.
November 11th, 2012 at 5:16 am
Enjoy your dau RaiderRockstar!
Our lack of a running game will always result in Palmers pass attempts to increase and with that the chance of a turnover. Combine that with the matador RT Willie Smith…Not good for Carson.
We need to cause some turnovers this game.

Hey, Rockstar, the Raiders are one Carson Palmer away from 0-8.
Book it, idiot!

I am starting to feel a little sorry for LT
He took too many bumps to the head

Best guess is Lee’s back next week after Stewart returns to the PS.
November 11th, 2012 at 5:37 am
If the Defensive Line doesn’t play inspired football today, they never will. They were embarrassed last week. And now they have extra motivation to win one for their coach.
November 11th, 2012 at 5:39 am
Palmers arm and Janos leg could factor into today’s game….I think Palmers gonna put some points up….
November 11th, 2012 at 5:40 am
Lots of teams need cornerback help. If Lee does not get picked up, it really says a lot about our team
November 11th, 2012 at 5:42 am
Good package of snaps Taiwan has had as a Raider (includes pre-season)…

Willie Smith… Come on now.. Step up…
November 11th, 2012 at 5:50 am
I hope that pads practice pays off enough to stop Rice.
Ravens game plan = run rice and sneak WR’s past Raider defenders into wide open TD’s like everyone else has done
November 11th, 2012 at 5:56 am
How would you like to be coach of a NFL cherleading squad. You know those broads are fighting all the time and showing up hungover and half of them are on bipolar meds like the rest of the USA.
Gotta be a tough job managing 30 women who think they are the cats meow
November 11th, 2012 at 5:56 am
Made in Taiwan Jones shows flashes of being a pretty good back. Bad thing is, thats all behind the PBS. Hope he can put together a good game and PROTECT THE BALL.

Notice how 2 of the first 3 plays in that video the balls end up on the ground and in the hands of a Saints player.
November 11th, 2012 at 6:08 am
maybe Taiwan will be fine behind this zbs, just because i think he has faster (twitch muscles) than D-mac. allowing him to stop and turn a bit faster. maybe? I do bielieve that D-mac and those skinny legs cant take the punishment.
November 11th, 2012 at 6:13 am
Baltimore is ranked worse than the Raiders in run D. Maybe I will start Jones in FF this week.
November 11th, 2012 at 6:13 am
Well, Taiwan knows he’ll be cut if he falls under the “repeat offenders”, so he better correct his ball security issues.
November 11th, 2012 at 6:32 am
Call me crazy, but I have a feeling Jones is going to have a great game today.
November 11th, 2012 at 6:50 am
Not feeling too confident this AM. I can accept a loss as long as we keep it close but being totally embarrased would be devastating.
Maybe a Bloody Mary will boost my spirits.
November 11th, 2012 at 6:55 am
35. Yep, the Raiders have been getting beat deep… Gotta keep those WRs in front of ya..
November 11th, 2012 at 6:57 am
Palmers arm and Janos leg… Key…IMO…
November 11th, 2012 at 7:05 am
This offensive coaching staff is horrible. Just be prepared for more pathetic playcalling that will underutilize TJ & Reece (and any other offensive player you can think of). Its only when Palmer is calling the plays at the line that we begin to move the ball.
Its a damn shame its taken this long for TJ to see the field.
Please fire Krappy asap – promote Saunders if he wants the job. Krappy was given one of the best offenses in the league and has turned it into trash (when he calls the plays). Only now is he starting to get that you have to mix up the blocking schemes with Power and it took how many games for him to figure that out?
November 11th, 2012 at 7:07 am
Prediction as to when the commentators first mention Marcel Reece being a WR in college? I’m going first Raiders possession—maybe even pregame keys to victory. EVERY week that he gets a touch, the commentators mention it–its their only go to.
Might not need as huge of a statistical game from 45 today as everyone thinks, but will definitely need him to make plays, especially on 3rd down. Everyone needs to show up to win this game.
What scares me the most is Torrey Smith and Anquan Boldin. Raiders will probably try to stack the box as much as possible to not let a repeat of last week occur. Just hope they don’t get burned over the top by 82, or picked apart with 81.
Interested in this game. Attainable game as long as thoughtless mistakes are not made. Have a feeling our beloved silver and black will come out with some fire.
November 11th, 2012 at 7:08 am
Missing DMC would be a major deal, but you’ve seen how Krappy has reduced him to arena league. So now it won’t even matter. Still, Knapp’s history inspires no confidence in his utilization of TJ & Reece for this game. Expect more of the same. Krappy is incapable of adapting, imagining, or scheming to put his players in the best position to win games.
November 11th, 2012 at 7:14 am
What kills me about Krappy is he’s so damn narrow-minded. He would keep force feeding the ball to DMC and Moore all damn game and ignore all the other talent he has out there. That a crappy OC for you.

I have a feeling that Reece will be too much of a go to for Knapp today. The formula just won’t be right, I feel. I think the secret is out on Reece with DMC and Goodson out. Kinda thinking its going to be a force feed the ball to Reece too much, and not a spread it around enough kind of thing.
I’m excited to see the opportunity, but just have a bad feeling that the balance needed for him to be effective won’t be there.
November 11th, 2012 at 7:20 am
I worry more about Taiwan’s inability to break tackles against #1’s than fumbles.
In regular seasons over the past two years, he rarely ever has done so.
Last week, he faced two defenders. One body-slammed him, the other forced a fumble.
Yikes!!!
November 11th, 2012 at 7:24 am
Taiwan didn’t see the field much last year either, and McFadden was hurt right at the same point in the season.
It ain’t the two staffs not knowing what they are doing, he just isn’t that good.
November 11th, 2012 at 7:25 am
Marcel Reece is on pace for a career year. Averaging more yards per game than any point in his career.
In a contract year no less.
Knapp is making him a lot of money.
November 11th, 2012 at 7:28 am
Did you get my 4 team parley Vegas?…posted it a couple days ago.
November 11th, 2012 at 7:28 am

November 11th, 2012 at 7:39 am
Maybe CA can propose another tax hike to pay for a stadium?
November 11th, 2012 at 7:39 am
Saw that Prediction on Palmer throwing 4 tds today… Hopefully the RBs can add a Td …5 tds should win any game shouldn’t it….defense?….. Who knows which D shows up…
November 11th, 2012 at 7:39 am
I suck at betting football, so you don’t want to ask me who I like.
November 11th, 2012 at 7:40 am
Good morning nation,lets go raiders! Pumped to see Reese play
November 11th, 2012 at 7:44 am
JFB – Take off the rose colored glasses man. Last year we had DMC, MBush and TJ and Reece. DMC & Bush were the main backs, 1-2 punch. It was TJs rookie year. When DMC went down Bush carried he rock and TJ got snaps to mix it up, same 1-2 punch, but Reece was in there as well.
Reece was more of a feature in Hue’s scheme than he is now under Knapp. Hue brilliantly used Reece to create mismatches all over the field.
November 11th, 2012 at 7:45 am
Raiders should just drop the city from there name and call themselves “The Raiders”. I don’t like it, but it does seem like L.A. is the most logical choice to get a new stadium.
November 11th, 2012 at 7:46 am
Even when DMC was healthy I believe TJ would get a carry here and there. But the way DMC was running last year, you didn’t want to take too many away from him. Hue knew how to maximize players. Knappy does not which is why we are all so frustrated watching.
November 11th, 2012 at 7:47 am
Ravens 38
Raiders 28
November 11th, 2012 at 7:48 am
Vegas, Iv won 4 four team parlays this year already, 60 a card,..13/1…also hit that 500 last week on Denver over Cinn…I win a lot, I never bet on Oakland, not to win anyway.
November 11th, 2012 at 7:49 am
The Raiders are relocating back to LA,..it was confirmed by their owner yesterday in the hotel lobby after hes had a couple whiskey sours,…its a done deal.
November 11th, 2012 at 7:50 am
Bob, can you post that pic of your friend with Mark Davis to verify your story?
November 11th, 2012 at 7:50 am
I still hear that the NFL would rather not have the Raiders in LA…. They’d rather see the Chargers and Rams downthere….who knows at this point…… Can’t worry about what you can’t control…..
November 11th, 2012 at 7:52 am
Yea L.A. Raiders has a nice ring to it

I don’t believe that. The Raiders are the most marketable team out of all the potential options. They already have a fan base. And regardless of recent failures, they are still an iconic team.

I don’t buy that for a second. A owner would never divulge such information to some random fan. Ever.

Don’t let this staff pull the wool over your eyes. They expected to be contenders with this roster. They are severly underperforming. The way I see it, they’ll be lucky to reach .500 and that would be a step back. Heads need to roll starting with that fraud of an OC.
November 11th, 2012 at 7:56 am

Nfl is different every year , unless you change and upgrade your roster to contend with other teams , which we couldn’t due to salary cap hell, you won’t be given an automatic seat next year

***********************
By what measure?
Total Yards per game? Nope
Catches per game? Nope
Targets on passes? Not even close
First downs? He is tied with last year already.
Carries yes, Marcell had a whole 17 carries last year, less than 2 a game for 9 yards a game. He might pass that up as well in the next couple weeks.
Reece is being USE MORE THAN EVER as an Oakland Raider right now.
Not even debatable.
November 11th, 2012 at 8:01 am

========================================
Interesting story. We’ll know in a year or two. And at the risk of flaming everyone here: TPTB in Oakland promised Al a new stadium 17 years ago, have done exactly d1ck since then. Mark specifically said last January he needed a new stadium, whether in Oakland or somewhere else, which was a HUGE shot across Oakland’s bow. If Oakland still can’t get its act together, then Mark cannot be blamed for taking them money AEG and/or Ed Roski are floating around (and I think a Roski deal is much more likely than AEG). C’est la vie.
November 11th, 2012 at 8:03 am
Reece is def being targeted more this year , I wish some of those targets came on screen plays
November 11th, 2012 at 8:06 am
Def winnable game, depends on the OL and DL
November 11th, 2012 at 8:06 am
LA never said they didnt want the Raiders back in LA,..they said they didnt want Al Davis back there.

November 11th, 2012 at 8:08 am
Duck… I think Cork reported just this week that all NFL teams had to declare by January if they intend to relocate… And i agree… If Mark can’t get a deal in The Bay Area then I couldn’t blame him either …
November 11th, 2012 at 8:10 am
Cork hasnt a clue about relocation laws, ot anything else for that matter,..that old fool just hangs out in Alameda for the free food they give “journalists”.
November 11th, 2012 at 8:10 am
You can’t compete playing in an inferior stadium, year in and year out.
Doesn’t matter the location, Dallas plays out in the middle of nowhere, same with the Redskins.
But those places hold 85+ plus, and can get away with charging $250+ a ticket, because of all the state of the art amenities.
Time is ticking, and it is 110% on the city of Oakland to do this.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all to see the Chargers take the AEG deal now that it’s going forward. It’s even BARELY conceivable that, if Mark wants to go sooner rather than later, he cuts a deal with Oakland to get out of the lease a year early and move to LA. We could take the Coliseum downtown and the Chargers could take the Rose Bowl while our respective stadiums are being built (Farmer’s Field for the Chargers, Industry for us).

Also, it’s being reported that California officials are trying to interest the Panthers in moving, but Richardson’s telling them to get lost.

Duck,..come on man,..being reported?…lol…just say it, you are watching GameDay and believe everything ESPN tells you.
November 11th, 2012 at 8:17 am
I just did a search and The NFL did ask teams to declare intent to relocate between January and Feb 15th… Well see…

Raiders 27-20
November 11th, 2012 at 8:25 am
All you pessimistic people, RAIDER NATION hope to never see you guys again
November 11th, 2012 at 8:25 am
I believe Palmers gonna put some points up… Hopefully one of the RBs will put up a Td as well …
November 11th, 2012 at 8:32 am
Maybe even a TE Td…..gonna have to spread it around today…
November 11th, 2012 at 8:34 am
I bet nothing gets built and Mark will have to stay where he is.

I wonder if we’ll see Bergs or Willie Smith at RT, and how much will Curry play?
November 11th, 2012 at 8:41 am
Plunk… True… Who knows at this point… It’s pretty much outta our hands anyway… I’m a homer ( Bay Area native).. And I’d hate to see them go again….
November 11th, 2012 at 8:41 am
Defending Kanpps use of Reece is pointless…
SO WHAT if he’s getting used more?
1 carry a game and 2 catches a game (last season) are NOT going to save this offense. He finally got some action last week after being ignored for most of the 1st half of the season…I hope he ‘OPENS UP’ Marcel’s portion of the playbook and it works, but am leery that it will work out so well…hoping i’m wrong.
November 11th, 2012 at 8:43 am
Bergs can’t be any worse than smith has been…
November 11th, 2012 at 8:43 am

**************************
Look, I am not here to defend Knapp or attack you, but this nonsense must end.
Last year Reece averaged 25 yards a game. 2010, 23 yards a game.
Not even counting last weeks game, he was averaging 26 yards a game in 2012. Now it is up to 34 p/g.
He is being used basically the same, if not more now.

Good Morning Raider Fans!!!
November 11th, 2012 at 8:45 am
In the Ravens locker room Ray Lewis and John Harbaugh will be screaming and yelling and the place will be rockin getting pumped for the game,..in the Raiders,..well,..DA and Palmer might try and muster up some stupid thing to say like, lets watch the false starts, lets try and get off the field on third down,..but no players will hear it, all with head phones on and tweeting,..the final score will reflect that. Im real.
November 11th, 2012 at 8:45 am

*************************
I think you will see both at RT, Smith the start, Bergs shortly after, and the best performer will get the 2nd half.
Curry, will be covering kickoffs and in on goalline situations.
My two cents, we shall see.
November 11th, 2012 at 8:46 am
Yeah…but what are you expecting out of 26 yds a game?
Not that those numbers wouldn’t have been MORE than the rest of the Offense ran the ball last week…
I’m bent w/ Knapp cause marcel SHOULD have about 10 touches a week between the ground and air…
Don’t want ot argue with you either Vegas.
Just frustrated as f a u k with this team…
Like i said, I hope marcel BLOWS UP today and helps us get a W…

I was a little confused about the release of Pat lee.
After watching some film and seeing his responsibilty in the Doug Martin big runs I can see why they are making an example of him. If D. Martin is even some what contained last sunday the Raiders would likely be 4-4.
—
If they are blaming Lee for the Martin runs then they are refusing to acknowledge what is right in front of their face. It’s McClain. The guy is a freaking slug and a liability. Why can’t they see this?
Look at the tape again (if u can stomach it) and McCLAIN kind of goes up to our lineman and puts his hands on his back as if to be nudging him and then Martin Martin breaks thru and McClain spins around and it’s “bye bye”.
November 11th, 2012 at 8:52 am

***********************************
I can agree with this.
He should have been used more in 2010, 2011 and now 2012.
But at least we are using him more now than last season, a small step in the right direction.

Game day baby! I’m hopping this is one of thoes game the Raiders pull one of these WTF wins over a good team.
GO RAIDERS!!!
November 11th, 2012 at 8:56 am
Interesting that on the road we are only 7.5 underdogs.
That would mean if we were playing in Oakland, we would be 1.5 or 2 point underdogs.
Seems like Vegas thinks this game will be close, closer than the masses think.
Baltimore is really, really banged up, worse than us probably.
November 11th, 2012 at 8:56 am
You guys may not want to believe Norco Bob but it is Cork who says when asked directly “yes” he thinks it’s gonna happen.
I don’t know. I’m for anything that helps make us a winner again.
I’d prefer the team could stay in Oakland and win and have a new stadium like they deserve, but i don’t see any movement. Maybe u guys see something since you’re out there.
I hope for the loyal fans out in Oakland they can get it done.
November 11th, 2012 at 8:58 am
Lol… I’ve already pulled McClains name off my 55 jersey…. It’s goes with Moss and Russels jerseys….
November 11th, 2012 at 8:58 am
The Panthers already want renovations on their stadium and it was built in 1996. The Raiders are playing in a 46 year old stadium.
November 11th, 2012 at 8:59 am
I am wearing my #55 as we speak.
November 11th, 2012 at 9:02 am
I’ve got # 18 on right now… But at game time I’m switching to 3…
November 11th, 2012 at 9:03 am
We gotta get our 6 wins somehow might as well beat the Ravens.
Raiders 24
Ravesn 21
Anyone expecting MR.Glass(DMAC) back this year our is it Reece/Jones/Stewart for rest of the season.
November 11th, 2012 at 9:04 am
I’m patient.
40 and then.

November 11th, 2012 at 9:11 am
What the “experts” all said would happen has. DMAC lasted 8 games even when he was trying to avoid injury by stepping out of bounds etc.
His lower legs (ankles, feet) are just prone to injury.
3.1 ypc ?
He was starting to come around a bit though.
I’m just sick and tired of DMAC. He’s a potential gamebreaker but i’m sick of waiting for him to come around.
November 11th, 2012 at 9:41 am
On the stadium issue..the problem is that Oakland is broke…and even though there are a legion of raider fans in the city proper…a large percentage of the fans buying tickets on Sundays, live in the surrounding communities of Nor Cal, therefore they can’t even vote on any Bond measure or whatnot…
If they made it an isue for Alameda County votersm which are the ones who built the Coliseum back in the 60’s..there might be a chance. But waiting for Oakland to get things in order and present a proposal is a long shot…
