Grading the Raiders from Ravens game

By Steve Corkran
Monday, November 12th, 2012 at 12:28 pm in Oakland Raiders.

Here is how beat writer Jerry McDonald graded the Raiders (3-6) on their performance in a 55-20 loss to the Baltimore Ravens (7-2) on Sunday:

Pass offense

Another prolific stat game for Carson Palmer (29 of 45, 368 yards, 2 TDs). He had a 55-yard touchdown pass to Darrius Heyward-Bey and one of 30 yards to Denarius Moore, and he kept the Raiders moving the ball. But there was also an interception, a lost fumble and another fourth-and-1 where he got stepped on by Mike Brisiel and took a 4-yard sack.

Grade: B

Run offense

Marcel Reece rushed a career-high 13 times for 48 yards, with Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson out with high-ankle sprains. Rookie Jeremy Stewart ran seven times for 22 yards, and the coaching staff has very little confidence in Taiwan Jones. Raiders had no gain of more than 9 yards and averaged 3 yards per carry.

Grade: D-minus

Pass defense

Joe Flacco (21 of 33, 341 yards, 3 TDs, 1 interception) did as he pleased and found the wide open spaces between the hash marks. Michael Huff had an interception at the Baltimore 19, but the offense only got a field goal out of it. Torrey Smith caught touchdown passes of 20 and 47 yards and tight ends Dennis Pitta and Ed Dickson had seven catches for 126 yards.

Grade: F

Run defense

The Raiders took the Doug Martin lesson of the previous week to heart as Ray Rice gained just 35 yards in 13 carries with a long run of 7 yards. Not until Bernard Pierce had a 12-yard run in the second half did Baltimore get a running play in double figures. They gave ground way to easily on Rice’s 7-yard touchdown run.

Grade: B

Special teams
A muffed punt by Phillip Adams led to a Baltimore touchdown and Jacoby Jones ripped off a 105-yard kickoff return to finish the scoring. Sebastian Janikowski converted field goal attempts from 22 and 47 yards and Shane Lechler punted well with a 54.8 yard gross and a 47.6 net.

Grade: D-minus

Coaching

The Raiders secondary looked as if it had never played together before as Flacco passed at will. The Raiders were fooled by a Ravens fake field-goal attempt that resulted in a 7-yard touchdown run by holder Sam Koch. Coming into a difficult road venue, the Raiders didn’t have the look of a team that was prepared to play, and coach Dennis Allen said the responsibility lies with him.

Grade: F

    Mystic1 thinks that the white man has a conspiracy that keeps black QB’s from winning Super Bowls.

    I hope one day he realizes that Doug Williams was a pocket passer not a running “athletic” QB like the ones Mystic1 drools over.
    ===================

    actaully willaims was a mobile qb, by the time he played for the redskins he was old and could no longer move like he used to

    please show me where i claimed

    ‘that the white man has a conspiracy that keeps black QB’s from winning Super Bowls.”

    dont lie on me its weak’

    again do you have any football takes?

  3. Silverandblack666 Says:

    Yeah right your a real Einstein!

  4. No Mas Diamante Says:

    for a tall guy palmer has a ton of balls batted down

  5. No Mas Diamante Says:

    palmer throws a terrible deep ball.

  6. No Mas Diamante Says:

    but palmer’s not the problem

  7. Silverandblack666 Says:

    Mystic1 is obviously new to watching football he was watching a college games and thinking how much he loves watching black QB’s run the ball and he thinks to himself the NFL should do that.

    Why not have QB’s in the NFL act like RB’s like a college team does?

    DUH it wont work pal this is a passing league running QB’s are for college and they will stay there!

    You are not only a racist you are a bitter person with a deep seeded hate for white QB’s

    When you hear Phil Simms or Dan Fouts or Kurt Warner talk about how great of a job Palmer is doing this year under these circumstances it makes sense….But then I read Mystic1 post and I get confused and I just don’t know who to believe guys can you help me out here?

    see how you divide players qbs specifically according to race?

    yet you cant produce anything that i have written that says im a racist

    this is too easy

    question why does the race of the qb mean so much to you?

  13. Silverandblack666 Says:

    “palmer throws a terrible deep ball.”

    Not only are you slow and probably inbred but you are blind as well.

  32. eastoaklandraider Says:

    I doubt Palmer is excited to be a raider at this point, they fired the coach that brought him here, hire a bun OC ,and lose all the momentum they had built up from last year, and put him into a scheme that doesnt fit him his oline or rb. And this is a guy who wanted out of cin because he didnt feel the org was going in the right direction, I can imagine how he feels now, even though he will just toe the company line. And its really ashame because we finally get a qb and we waste his talent with Knapp and his scheme, all I can remember is Carson in Hues O in the SD game looking just as good as Brady or anybody else but instead of building on that we go backwards and its very frustrating to me, so I know its frustrating to Palmer

    Just as you have taken a complete 180 about face with palmer

    ====

    Doesn’t seem to have problems, he could lead them to TD”s when Knapps play calling is not predictable and Line is giving him time

  40. RaidersAllday_LtsGeTit Says:

    I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again. Raiders should have never have made that Palmer trade wasnt worth it to a bad team. Palmer is not gonna take u over the hump no matter how good he is. To many holes.

    Should have use that 1st traded out and got more picks. Picked up a young guy like Russell wilson who has 14tds on the year.. and rebuilt. Reggie and the scouts were in love with wilson at senior bowl. Not to mention it would save picks and save money.. paying 13 million this year and 15 million next year to palmer. COuld use that on FA’s

    Reggie should have also hired an expereinced head coach like Greg Shiano.. not some Portland State wannabe chump in D.A.

    Asking PALMER to throw it 61 times a game is a joke.. being ranked 31th in rushing when we have been top 5 rushing the last two years is a joke.

    Using Marcel Reece as a Running back is a joke.. not using him at all the way he should be used.

    Oh boy! This right here proves your football IQ is pitiful. Al’s overpaying has left us in the nice mess we are in now. With all your Palmer bashing, it makes me forget that you are an Al loyalist. I wonder if you would hate on Palmer so much if he was one of Al’s guys.

    Missdick posts constantly about black qb’s and how bad Palmer is. But he never says “black”. That way he can turn it around and say we are the ones obsessed with race. It’s obvious what he’s trying to do. He’s not a raider fan. Just trying to fuk up the board. IGNORE MISTIC AT ALL COSTS! He is to receive the SILENT TREATMENT.

    The season was lost when HUE JAX was fired.

    HUE JAX Rookie HC

    - No offesean due to lockout
    - Owner passes away
    _ NO GM to help him out like Reggie does for D.A.

    - No OC.. he is the damn OC, Stuck with a DCORD he doesnt want

    - DMAC is done for the season, Starting Qb done for season by week 7

    - JFORD, DMOORE injured in crucial stretch of season..

    Yet still goes 8-8

    the trade would be a great one if Hue was still here, the O was on its way to being elite and we could hve just tinkered with thr oline a bit and concentrated on the D. IMO with Hue here we are a playoff team now based on how we played last year and the circumstaces of last year(no offseason, carson off the couch,etc etc)

    Oh boy! This right here proves your football IQ is pitiful. Al’s overpaying has left us in the nice mess we are in now. With all your Palmer bashing, it makes me forget that you are an Al loyalist. I wonder if you would hate on Palmer so much if he was one of Al’s guys.

    “i showed proof that you and mac20 are racist”

    I could care less what a bunch of demented retards on a blog think about me so yeah go ahead and label me a racist I will embrace it if you say its so!
    ==========

    i dont have to call you anything you showed your true feelings by dividing qbs according to race, just like 90% of the posters here.

    qb is the only position that you care about the racial make up of the player.

    JFB, BCZ24, mac20 and you have all been exposed in here by me for racist post at one time or another.

    i have done this using your own post, on the other hand you simply accuse me with no proof

    im not surprised black people only make up less than 15 % of the population in amerikkka so we will always be under attack from our white counter parts.

    even when it come to something as meaningless as sports

    “Aside from getting blown out again, Oakland is facing a brutal situation with running back Darren McFadden, who was unable to play Sunday because of a sprained ankle. McFadden is expected to be back next week, but is not having anything close to the performance he had in 2010, when he averaged 5.3 yards per carry. He is set to be a free agent after the 2013 season. McFadden is averaging only 3.3 yards this season because the Raiders have primarily played a zone-blocking system that simply doesn’t work for him. Two weeks ago, McFadden, at the urging of owner Mark Davis, talked to the coaches about the situation, according to a source familiar with the circumstances. The coaches went back to a more favorable system and McFadden responded with 114 yards against Kansas City before getting hurt the next game against Tampa Bay. If the Raiders are going to maximize McFadden’s ability, they need to change the offense. If not, they would be better off trading him in the offseason.”

    - No offesean due to lockout
    - Owner passes away
    _ NO GM to help him out like Reggie does for D.A.

    - No OC.. he is the damn OC, Stuck with a DCORD he doesnt want

    - DMAC is done for the season, Starting Qb done for season by week 7

    - JFORD, DMOORE injured in crucial stretch of season..

    Yet still goes 8-8

That’s TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. we should be “touching” Steve Hoffman to the extent of kicking his worthless incompetent a$$ off the team and out of the building. The Jags just fired their ST Coordinator. You’d think DA could take a hint and follow suit.

    DA (retroactively D0A at this point) has to be thinking he may be on the hot seat after his vaunted D gives up 97pts in 14 days.

    Up next N.O. who could slop a 60 burger on us next.

    Two questions to non-troll members of the Nation…

    1. Is there a realistic scenario that gets DOA azzcanned mid-season? If so what would have to happen?

    2. Same as 1 above but for end of season…Again what would have to happen?

    FWIW I honestly think both are possible given the COMPLETE AND UTTER IMPLOSION especially on the D side of the ball, DOA’s ’specialty’…

    If this gets worse (and it looks like it sure can at this point) he may be toast. That’s something I didn’t think was even remotely possible 2 weeks ago.

    I also think if he continues to COMPLETELY ABNADON THE RUN -IMMEDIATELY AT KICKOFF- as he has done the last 2 weeks he will be unwittingly putting his ill-fated regime to an end. Even when you score with the no huddle/no back offense you end up putting MORE pressure on your weak-azz D since you score too quickly (whenever u do end up scoring)…..

    I’m now thinking odds are he’s done if thins don’t radically improve soon…

    PS I have no horse in this race. I came into the season open minded and optimistic (albeit a bit confused in Jan when Reggie decided to not give Hue a chance in 2012).

    Ok, so what ‘cha all think?

    3. pryor

    some claim he isnt ready or worse simply cant play and should never see the field

    others have claimed he should get some playing time at the end of the losing season so he may be evaluated as part of an overall draft strateguy, and have pointed out many examples of exactly this kind of thing

    some advocate for a special package just for him to get him on the field.

    the latter two ground in favor of pryor playing at some point this season were quickly dubbed “the more radical members of the fan base” by local beat writer corkran.

    DA (retroactively D0A at this point) has to be thinking he may be on the hot seat after his vaunted D gives up 97pts in 14 days.

    Up next N.O. who could slop a 60 burger on us next.

    Two questions to non-troll members of the Nation…

    1. Is there a realistic scenario that gets DOA azzcanned mid-season? If so what would have to happen?

    2. Same as 1 above but for end of season…Again what would have to happen?

    FWIW I honestly think both are possible given the COMPLETE AND UTTER IMPLOSION especially on the D side of the ball, DOA’s ’specialty’…

    If this gets worse (and it looks like it sure can at this point) he may be toast. That’s something I didn’t think was even remotely possible 2 weeks ago.

    I also think if he continues to COMPLETELY ABNADON THE RUN -IMMEDIATELY AT KICKOFF- as he has done the last 2 weeks he will be unwittingly putting his ill-fated regime to an end. Even when you score with the no huddle/no back offense you end up putting MORE pressure on your weak-azz D since you score too quickly (whenever u do end up scoring)…..

    I’m now thinking odds are he’s done if thins don’t radically improve soon…

    PS I have no horse in this race. I came into the season open minded and optimistic (albeit a bit confused in Jan when Reggie decided to not give Hue a chance in 2012).

    Ok, so what ‘cha all think?
    *******************

    Good & fair questions. I don’t see RM canning him during the season. At the end of the season, maybe. BTW, I love the new moniker “DOA”. Very appropriate given most recent results. If DOA doesn’t take positive action like firing Hoffman,downgrading Knapp or some other positive action, his days in fact may be numbered. Keep in mind RM is new and UNPROVEN. So, to some extent, he’s on the hot seat too. Some may think “well it can’t get any worse”. Believe me, “it can get worse”. The Saints could easily run the boards on us big time. 60 points is not out of question -Brees is a point machine. He will have a field day with our back 7. DOA needs to something drastic to show he’s large & in-charge. Business as normal will only prove that’s he’s not ready for this level of management. If this continues and/or gets worse for the remainder of the year, I don’t see him surviving as head coach. He could gracefully take a demotion to DC while some other proven coach, like Mike Holmgren or the like gets hired as HC. RM needs to do what he’s got to do to see that this team is supplied with talent. That goes for coaching as well as players.

  121. HayesDaze37 Says:

    It’s a great day to be a Raiders fan. Isn’t it?!

    Grade this game??

    F’s across the board. F’s and nothing but F’s.

    Carson Palmer throwing the ball 61-times per game is insane, and should never have happened yesterday…basically abandoning the run in the first half was doom.

    Greg Knapp cannot call plays. Knapp might be able to diagram a good play…but he CANNOT PUT TOGETHER A GAMEPLAN that makes sense, or one that ebbs-and-flows within the game when changes are necessary.

    The Offensive Players know Greg Knapp can’t call a good game. Everybody in the NFL knows Greg Knapp cannot call a good game…he proves it week after week.

    A QB throws for 360-yards and 2-TD’s and we can’t put more than 20-points on the board??

    The Defense failed miserably. The Offense failed miserably. Special Teams failed miserably. And, worst of all…the Coaches failed miserably.

    Greg Knapp should not be calling plays. The solution to the Raiders’ playcalling problems is on staff already…his name’s Al Saunders.

    AL SAUNDERS KNOWS HOW TO CALL A GAME WHILE IT’S IN PROGRESS…and not just on paper.

    Of course, that change wouldn’t fix coaching problems 2 and 2(a): Our Defensive “gurus” at HC and DC, whose respective impact seems to be about as invisible as that of Rolando McClain’s.

    No more excuses for — or from — Greg Knapp. No more waiting for the O-line to gel, or for Players to all be healthy at the same time. It’s time to put a PROFESSIONAL product on the field, no matter who’s out there on game day.

    2. Same as 1 above but for end of season…Again what would have to happen?

    This is a different scenario because its end of season but my answer would be the same as above because there is no way RM eats crow after one season on his “Gut” hire. I would say even if it seems he has lost the team and we lose the rest of our game ending up at 3-13 there is no way DA is shown the door unless he commits a felonious act.

    Oakland Raiders: Damontre Moore, OLB/DE, Texas A&M
    The Raiders need to take the best defensive prospect available. Their pass rush has been pitiful, and their cornerbacks are weak. Oakland was horrible at recording sacks or interceptions until the defense came alive in the Atlanta game. Dennis Allen needs to upgrade the talent level of his defense across the board. Moore is the most talented pass-rusher or cornerback available.

    Moore has been one of the most consistent pass-rushers in college football this season and is one of the nation’s leaders with 11.5 sacks. He has more sacks in 2012 than Sam Montgomery and Barkevious Mingo combined.

    Perhaps even more impressive than that, Moore leads his team with 69 tackles – 11 more than the next closest defender. He has 19 tackles for a loss, two passes broken up, a blocked kick and a forced fumble. Moore is playing traditional defensive end this year given the change in A&M’s coaching staff. The 6-foot-4, 250-pounder needs to add more weight for the NFL if he is going to stay as a 4-3 defensive end.

    Moore played joker outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense prior to this season, the same position Von Miller used to play. Moore had 72 tackles, 17.5 tackles for a loss, 8.5 sacks and four forced fumbles last year. He had 5.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and 50 tackles as a freshman in 2010.

    But…give Palmer an OC who can call plays, a RB who can stay healthy, and a Defense that can keep opposing Teams to less than 25-points a game, and he’d be a Pro Bowl, Playoff-Team-leading QB.


    Special teams who can give him better position once in awhile too

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

    Can’t be any worse than what we’ve got right now.

  165. tuckrulefool Says:

    Thanks for the input.

    While still a rookie I think D0A is confusing “strength” with “pig-headedness”. He is ’staying the course’ no matter what the conditions on the ground say.

    Sorry that’s not leadership, that’s ego. You MUST adapt. That goes for players coaches (and fans for that matter). He is not adapting, or a t aleast not enough to matter.

    Couple of (specific) examples that bug me already about him (again based on DOA’s behavior this pres-season/reglar season). (No doubt there are many more just mentioning a couple to get the juices going.)

    1. The whole Tiawan Jones deal.

    No real RB options at this point yet you Refuse to give him a legitimate opportunity. This simply makes no sense. If you don’t like the guy, cut him. Dont hide behind the “we don’t trust him” bs. Again, if hes not trustworthy why is he taking up a valuable spot? Al is dead, cant use scholorship fear as an excuse. What bugs me the most here is guys like Evans who fumble repeatedly CLEARLY arent trustworthy (yesterdays punt botch was THE death dagger btw). Yet he is back there.

    2. Smith. Cant rememebr a worse OT. yet he stays there with unproven young talent on the bench. (and please forget the K-nap crap about he needs to know every postion 1st. Can he punt? if not lets keep him out too. jeez.).

    2. Very conservative/almost scared. This is linked in some ways to the above. Before you say “wait he onside kicks, fake puts etc”. Thats not what I am talking about. Im talking about personnel moves, game planning and management. In all 3 areas he plays not to lose vs win. The win vs Jags was a good example. Did Jano need to come out IMMEDIATELY? Not a huge pt esp since we won I’ll admit but its plays like that that show you how he thinks. Nut up son. This week also presented a chance to EXPOSE Baltimore run D. whats he do? NOT EVEN TRY! Explain this to me. If run fails, fine start throwing more. Its as if he was saying I KNOW CP3 can run the no back O and so i’m going there. Even though your D has been (and was once again) BADLY exposed. FAST scoring isn’t good for your D. BAD PLAN.

    At this point I just don’t think he’s talented enough (or perhaps not ready) to be a HC. Sorry, but thats what I see.

    Going forward, DOA needs to act and act now. Give a55hats the bench that deserve it and let players that havent received a fair shake, a shake.

    Guys like Berstrom, Jones, , and yes even Pryor (trick packages, return game, etc) NEED to get out there.

    Have some exotic D to confuse the teams that are scouting us each week? USE them Mr Defensive GURU. Yes, there will be risk but dude, smell the java.

    YOU ARE ALREADY AT RISK!

  166. HayesDaze37 Says:

    Well…all those drives that start inside our own 15 let Palmer throw for 300+ yards per game. In fact, they make those games necessary.

    Everyone should listen to the coaches press conference today. And teh commentary afterwards by Romo and Lo Neal. Lo Neal says exactly what I’ve been trying to convey to you guys about Palmer. I know it’s not fair to single him out, but that goes with the territory. He is way too talented to do some of things he does this team needs his leadership and when he falters they stop believing. It’s just the wya it is NOT FAIR but if you want to be considered a top notch QB you have to accept it…………period

    ***********************************************
    You could say that about the average QB, what makes the great ones great is the fact that their teams know no matter what the score is and how it’s turning out their QB will give them a chance to win. We they don’t believe that is when you see what we saw yesterday. The rest of teh team loses hope when the score gets a little out of whack. Had Palmer won that TB game coming form that far back to win. You would’ve never seen what happened yesterday, this team would’ve gone iinto Balt. trying like hell to get a win. But once the score got out of whack you saw them let down it’s natural to do so if you don’t think you have the goods.

    Palmer has to find a way to get these guys to believe if the continue playing hard and fast that he can bring it home I gaurantee you’ll see this entire change the way they play.

  182. RussianRaider Says:

    Allen isn’t going anywhere. Firing him would give us 4 coaches in 4 years, not really a recipe for success. I view Allen almost like Romeo Crennel, he’s not good enough to be dealing with both the offense and defense, but he doesn’t have an OC that merits trust that would allow him to focus on the D.

    I remember being as shocked as I’ve ever been with the Raiders when I heard they brought back Knapp. It’s not just that he failed before, it’s that he failed in Oakland before, and miserably.

    The Raiders are stale. They are not dynamic, they don’t adjust, they don’t put their players in a position to win. The coach’s job is the maximize his players talent. We’re burning through Carson’s arm (when we’re not getting him killed), we have McFadden running through a brick wall and we have receivers who have not been coached on how to run routes. Where the hell are Freddy B and Tim Brown to teach these guys to run routes instead of galloping and running God knows where.

    The Raiders’ coaching stuff simply does not put players in a position to win. McFadden struggling to break through the line? Get him out in space like vs. SD! Defense getting burned? Stop running delayed safety blitzes that expose our makeshift secondary!

    The real indicator of the season is how bad this team is in the third quarter in seemingly every game. Coaches tweak and adjust and steamroll us, while the Raiders seem content to go with what they came in with and not to make any adjustments. We’re a bad team that is not well coached, the only hope is that DA improve a lot next year, because otherwise, we’re going to be back searching for a new coach…again…

    Even with his occasional miscues, Carson Palmer is giving the Raiders the kind of play GM’s and Owners drool over. The ability to put up these kinds of numbers doesn’t just walk in off the street.

    The shame in having Carson Palmer right now — just like with guys like Janikowski — is that those numbers are being wasted on what is turning out to be a throw-away year, and maybe more than just this year.

    The blame goes all the way around…and it starts right at ReggieMac’s office.

  200. Seymour Bush Says:

    I am not saying fire the coaches. I have seen TOOOOO much of that here. But instead of blaming the players, and the players do deserve blame, this coaching staff needs to look at themselves.

    The blitz Tarver calls early in the game on a 3rd and 9 was a disaster. He sends both safeties, which is interesting, but they are lined up so far back in the secondary that they have NO HOPE of getting to Flacco. Not only that, now you just took 2 defenders and made them irrelvant. So now we are playing 11 on 9. We’re not good enough to play 11 on 9. We’re not good enough to play 11 on 11.

    1) Players cannot be properly developed when you’re constantly whipsawing them between this coach and that coach. New assistants, new philosophy, new playcalls, new everything. The average fan doesn’t understand how much your entire team really starts from zero every time you bring a new coach and staff in.

    2) Al’s quick hook with coaches was part of the reason he wasn’t able to hire anyone decent (except Gruden) during the last two decades of his life. The entire league is watching to see what Reggie does. He fires DA without a darn good (like 0-16 season) cause, and it’s back to us settling for the dregs of the coaching pool.

    3) Reggie and DA came into a horrible, unprecedented scenario. Give them time.

  206. RussianRaider Says:

    How do you fire a rookie 8-8 coach and go hire this guy??? HOW??
    ———————————————————-
    I never thought Hue would stay once we missed the playoffs. With the kind of organizational turnover that Mr. Davis’ death brought, it had to be a full house cleaning. Moreover, recall that Hue was coach and GM (he orchestrated the Palmer trade, remember?) and McKenzie didn’t want a power struggle. I get it the change, it made sense because Hue would have wanted a lot more power than Reggie would give him.

    However, for a rookie GM to go with a rookie HC (note that Dennis only had one year experience as a DC in Denver, which itself wasn’t a defensive powerhouse last year), you have to expect that there will be growing pains, and anyone who didn’t expect that had to be deluding themselves. I always thought the Raiders needed to go after someone with more experience because McKenzie was a rookie too, so having a coach who commands respect based on a strong reputation would be critical to establishing credibility with the old Al Davis guys (Kelly, Seymour, Huff etc.)

    All of this, however, does not excuse going with such a young coaching staff that has so little experience while simultaneously marginalizing the few veteran coaches on the staff (Al Saunders…when was the last time you even heard his name mentioned?).

    This year is done…Raiders will be 5-11 or 6-10 at best (assuming sweeping KC, beating Cleveland and possible wins vs. Carolina and @ San Diego). Next year will be the real test for DA and Reggie when they are truly running “their” team and not Davis/HueJax holdovers. Expect BIG changes.

    1. plenty of coaches have been one and done hu jack, pete carroll, jom mora jr and so on, it happens more often than people think

    2. big macks job and rep are on the line, i doubt he sits by and watches all his hard work over the years building himself into this postilion go out the window because he made a bad choice as his first coach.

    this is the nfl and people will not get the beneifit of the doubt in a results oriented business.

    No amopuint of fan worship will change this fact

The product that he is responsible for coaching has been historically bad, in terms of this franchise. As of this moment, what reason does anyone give as to why D.A. should not be fired immediately after this season. I’m sure there will be those that say that he should be given more time to make things work, but I dont believe in that so much. While I do feel that there are scenarios where time can be granted, in this case, I think D.A. has proven one singular thing, and it is that he is NOT the right man to be head coach of this football team. Period. The bottom line is that this team has regressed in EVERY facet of the game since this man took over as head coach. EVERY facet. He has FAILED. There is no other way to put it. With that said, what has D.A. done to warrant one more year?

    ————————————————————
    I disagree. I think a veteran coach (not necessarily a veteran HC mind you, but even a veteran DC or OC), perhaps like Joe Philbin, who came from Green Bay or otherwise had a relationship with Reggie, would have been a good choice. I don’t know enough (no one on this board does) about evaluating coaches to make a judgment, my point is that the growing pains would be exacerbated by having a rookie coach and rookie GM.

    Again, I’m not on the “run the bums out” train with Reggie and DA, but from an organizational standpoint, I don’t think DA has credibility with the players because he’s a young and inexperienced guy and is clearly not holding guys accountable (except Taiwan Jones, for some reason).

    We’re not dynamic, we don’t respond well. A prime example is this: Willie Smith is bad. Bergstrom may or may not be better, but why oh why don’t we have someone like a TE help out on his side? It’s been 6 games of leaving Smith to fend for himself against guys who are literally steamrolling him out there. These are adjustments a veteran coach makes, but as it stands, we’re just rebuilding…again…

With that said, what has D.A. done to warrant one more year?

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

    1) Players cannot be properly developed when you’re constantly whipsawing them between this coach and that coach. New assistants, new philosophy, new playcalls, new everything. The average fan doesn’t understand how much your entire team really starts from zero every time you bring a new coach and staff in.

    2) Al’s quick hook with coaches was part of the reason he wasn’t able to hire anyone decent (except Gruden) during the last two decades of his life. The entire league is watching to see what Reggie does. He fires DA without a darn good (like 0-16 season) cause, and it’s back to us settling for the dregs of the coaching pool.

    3) Reggie and DA came into a horrible, unprecedented scenario. Give them time.

    On point 1, we can look at what Indy has done. They have a 1st yr. coach with a 1st yr. QB and 4 lineman out. In fact they are being coached by the FILL IN coach FOR the 1st yr. HC and they’re 6-3.

    On point 2 i agree, which is why i didn’t even want Cable ousted..then Hue. Sick of having a new HC every dang year.

    On point 3 i don’t agree this is an unprecedented bad situation. That’s a tuff sell statement when the team inherited was one defensive stop from winning the division and remains bascially the same team. There are reasons why everyone says it was a “mirage” etc. but it was what it was.

    That being said, I am not for firing DA due to your point # 2. I don’t think he deserves it cuz the team is regressing to historically awful proportions. This is NOT what we were told to expect. We were told we would “get better every day”.

    We’re getting worse…much worse.

    Exactly my point! If you’re so hard core that you fire Hue jackson wouldn’t you get someone clearly better suited than he is. I mean that coach went 8-8 in his rookie season and was FIRED! Unless you have someone in mind who is definitely better, why do it?

    When Reg fired Hue I was absolutely sure he had someone already in mind who was a lock to do a better job. Only to find out he had no one in particular at all but goes on a coach search and comes up with this gem……..lol

    Wow. What a thumping. Now what ?

    Amazingly, as bad as the final score was – I actually saw some stuff on offense that was an improvement over past weeks.

    Not nearly enough to overcome this horribly inept pass defense, but I thought the offense had a semblance of a pulse.

    Tip of the hat to Marcel Reese. Ran hard, caught well and played a solid game. Good versatile player.

    Defense just incredibly bad. Some decent efforts stopping the run, but the entire secondary is just a sieve. Absence of a pass rush and poorly timed blitzes from 20 yards behind the LOS compounds this problem.

    Tits Allen is in over his head and should be worried about retaining his job.

    Let’s not forget he was hired as a defensive coach and the last 2 weeks have been historically bad. Completely unacceptable. And of course, he’s got to be held accountable for the Krapp hire.

    There’s so many problems and so many instances of player failure, that I’m reluctant to single out any single individual and roast him.

    But Josie Hansen deserves to be called out.

    Listen IDIOT, your team is getting BLOWN OUT and you’re talking trash ? I don’t care how fired up you are or how excited you are over defending a single play – there is no room for playing the fool and talking sht, like a complete moron, at that moment.

    Trash talking, undisciplined azzclown. Can’t blame Harbaugh for running the fake FG afterwards and smiling.

Since that is a huge part of the pool you’ll be hiring from?
    Hell there is Fantasy Football guys who knew more about the rosters around the NFL than our new guy…Pathetic.
    he was more concerned with whacking Hue and every member of Al’s regime, than getting started on the roster. Hell he changed the decor at Harbor Pkwy before he got going.

    Guys…it’s not what DA has done to this point. It’s what DA will do by the end of the season.

    HueJax didn’t get canned because he finished 8-8. That fool got fired for HOW he finished 8-8.

    And, BHP — Do you have an ownership interest in Hue’s favorite Salon or something? Give it up already…he was a loud, brash, competent Coach, but not a very good Head Coach, in the opinion of many (including his boss).

    If Hue worried about football as much as he worried about his mani/pedicures, we may have been a Playoff Team last year. 8-8?? Pffft.

    Why not take the path of legitmately talking about the entire team, including the defense, coaching, linemen. special teams, etc. etc. etc.

    I don’t believe you are a Raider fan and that’s fine. You have a right to root for whomever you want. I wish you’d own up to it, but whatever.

    You don’t need play the role of the blog dik. If that was your intention…congratulations… you’ve succeeded.

    We all understand how you feel about Palmer. For god’s sake give it a rest.

    The definition of “troll” from what i read is “one who INTENTIONALLY instigates negativity on an internet blog or forum”.

    That is exactly what you’re doing.

    Now if Hue had made the playoffs and won some games in it , the thing would be different, you don’t just come in and work with some one who was hired by previous GM and only went 8-8 LMAO at some posters
    *******************************************

    It’s OK to go with a different coach IF you know that coach is decidedly better man for the job. It take a few post to get a point through you concrete head. I have no problem if he had someone in mind decidely BETTER get it?

    ====

    BOth REG AND D ALLEN believe in ZBS , so they decided to go with a different coach ??? understand ???? and we lack talent on D, which would have killed us again, if HUE was here and still scoring , we would have allowed points on D next drive , Understood? NO??
    ****************************************************

    How do you know who the DC is? Forget Hue Jackson dumbass I’m focused on the GUY HE HIRED. He did not have a a coach in waiting GET IT! I know he had to go through the protocol for hiring but everybody who fires a decent coach knows how to get a someone better suited. Or else why are we firing anybody?

    I’m saying bring in a solid knowledgeable experienced coach to help you right the ship instead of some newbie anybody can do that.

    ———–

    There really wasn’t any other good candidate out there, plus don’t be confused by last years 8-8 ,we really weren’t that good, the reason why our D still s8cks because we still have same freaking players, Wheeler Bartell and Spencer came on 1 year contracts for a reason, still same pass rush problem, if Hue was here, maybe we might have scored a few more points, but that wouldn’t have stopped the other teams from scoring more , I’m talking about teams with GOOD QB’s, this team needs a year with some money to work with and some draft picks to work with

    YO YO YO THE BEEECH DAWG IS BACK BOOOO-YAAAAH

    Whut up Blog Nerds

    You can all rest easy now, the BIG DAWG of the BLOG is back in the hizzy and ready to resume his classic Dweeb Beatdowns

    Ahhh yeah Albert, that was just some tinkle you dropped in your undies

    Had a DOPE EPIC party weekend, my ocean-smooth reggae band Rasta Ganja played on a Mega Yacht in San Diego

    Played the whole show in just a muscle-T and a pair of Reeboks, so the Beeech Lawg got a major sunburn

    And, of course (holla), the Beeech Digs got some major play from a few tanned yacht bunnies

    Got a major BJ while I performed “finger-bang” style penetration on 2 fly hizzies

    Then all 3 tossed my salad while the DJ played Total Eclipse of the Heart

    That song always makes the Beeech Dawg tear up, shout out to Lil Wayne

    WRECKS N EFFECT PULLIN’ MAJOR LA ‘TUDE

    Mumbles could have interviewed Jeff Fisher, , Winston Moss…anyone who actually has NFL experience as a HC or as a player that might have some credibility w/ the team.
    Instead we got a whiny little guy that “harps” on things so much, the players have tuned him out by week 9…
    Big whiff on this hiring Reg, Along with the swing and miss on Bergstron, with our 1st pick in the draft, any Copetent owner would be working the phones looking for replacements…
    Of course, that’s if we actually had COMPETENT OWNERSHIP! Which we don’t…

    For those of you who think Reggie is a fraud

    Blame these guys:

    John Madden, Ron Wolf and Ken Herock…

    I like Reggie and DA.

    I’m copying and pasting all the threats being made and they’re going stright to Becker.

    Nice goin’.

    Hue jackson is no longer the issue here, I’m pissed because this moron went out and got someone who IMO pales in the previous coaches comparison.

    Hue had a long wya to go to learn HC edicate and some say he would never have learned it, I’m not of that camp. However if you gave me a coach like Jeff Fisher or Bill Belichik I’d FIRE HUE JACKSON on the spot. Because I know and watched Hue screw up royally even when we won. You can’t do that.

    But get me a real coach in here so I can get at least a little interested in watching my team on SUNDAY!

    I blame Mark Davis…
    He listened to 2 RETIREES who had been out of the game for years…
    Why would they have ANY insight into the current NFL landscape?
    What he should have done was hire a Pres. Of Operations and let That guy hire the GM.
    Mark, excuses himself from blame by claiming, “I know what I don’t know” about the NFL, and let’s face it, that is a lot…Al kept him out of the family biz for a reason, and now he’ just milking it for some financial gain before he sells it…
    He’s fooling everyone into thinking he gives a crap, but, it’s obvious from his lack of Due Dilligence in hiring told me that…

    I’ll reserve my judgement of both Reggie and DA, once year two is up.

  307. The Mack Says:

    Listening to mcf20 try to defend reasobs as to why DA should be given a second chance reminds me of Romney trying to defeend his “jeep is shipping jobs to china” claim. Lol Is a waist of time trying to argue the point, for romney it was pointless because everyone knew he wa lying for Mcf20 its pointless because everyone can see DA is not, he answer. Its clear as day he’s not a leader of men, he looks to me to be the norv turner version of a dc. Hood coordinator but awful hc.Matter of fact i think he’ worse. The coaching staff he hired is a joke, our Oc is trash, Dc, is trash, st coordinator is trash. Smh Across the board Da a.d reggie fd up, they must be held accountable.

  308. The Mack Says:

    Apologies for all the typos…

  309. Otis60 Says:

    Maybe I am being too positive but despite our D’s problems, we are probably two or three plays away from being 5-4 and winning three of our last four.

    dennis allen should be fired on week 16.

    a decent coach…. a decent defensive coach, should not get scored on for 100 points in a span of 2 weeks.
