After giving up more than 40 points in consecutive weeks for the first time in 50 years, the reeling Raiders are desperate for a victory Sunday as they host the high-powered Saints.
Here’s a look at what analysts, players and fans are saying about this afternoon’s game:

O’doyle rules!
November 18th, 2012 at 10:21 am
Had to be a matter of seconds MIKE. lol.
November 18th, 2012 at 10:24 am
Lol at some of these idiots who claim Al brought in amazing, all-star athletes. What? Most of his drafts in the last decade were filled with laughing-stock choices that consistently panned out to be busts. Yet fools like GG swear that he brought in all this talent. Hahahahahahaha. That’s hilarious. Thank goodness you aren’t a talent evaluator.
November 18th, 2012 at 10:26 am
Take slo to jail
November 18th, 2012 at 10:27 am
This team HAS to dedicate itself to getting the running game going….
No matter what the scoreboard says
There are supposed to be ‘home runs’ available on the ground, so let’s not abandon it in the 2nd quarter this week coach…
GO RAIDERS!
November 18th, 2012 at 10:28 am
Teach him a lesson in his bùtthole
November 18th, 2012 at 10:31 am
Not sure what the Jets have to see to put in either Tebow OR McElroy.
Sanchez is done, an unispiring pretty boy.
Same thing with Cam.
November 18th, 2012 at 10:31 am
I hate these pop up posts.. they mess with my phone
November 18th, 2012 at 10:31 am
McClain is not as bad as you people think, but I can understand the frustration since he was a top 10 pick, and fans expect an impact player which he is not.
I still think he is a solid player who will be here next year.
November 18th, 2012 at 10:33 am
The defense looked good the first week with Rolando getting subbed out in the nickle, and has been dreadful ever since.
Teams are targeting Burris, running right at him, and he is not responding.
I think he has hit the proverbial rookie wall. That’s why when Curry came in last week, he subbed in for Burris.
November 18th, 2012 at 10:34 am
Will be putting in the scores a bit later today. Sorry, but I have a few issues that are going to delay things.
Go Raiders!
November 18th, 2012 at 10:36 am
Couldn’t find any more images for the “Real Paula Lema”.

November 18th, 2012 at 10:38 am
The boo-birds are out in Carolina.
Derek Anderson in the 2nd half.
November 18th, 2012 at 10:38 am
Lets not embarrass ourselves out there today
November 18th, 2012 at 10:38 am
We might continue to set records for points allowed. This game today might not be very pretty.

Slo out of the NFL within 2 years.
Guaranteed.
Snails don’t last in today’s NFL.
November 18th, 2012 at 10:44 am
Some of the players are quitting and giving half efforts already.. DA has lost this team.. if he ever really got them to buy in at all…
November 18th, 2012 at 10:44 am
Texans bring in Forsett off the street, 2nd carry he goes for 30+ yards.
It’s not the arrows folks, it’s the Indians.
November 18th, 2012 at 10:45 am
Raiders are actually on TV in Dallas today!
November 18th, 2012 at 10:45 am
Slo out of the NFL within 2 years.
Guaranteed.

What kind of action will you give me on that?
November 18th, 2012 at 10:47 am
25.. yeah but if you dont have the “indians” you should probably not fùck up a running game that was our strength for 2 yrs….
November 18th, 2012 at 10:48 am
Read Sproles might be out on JBB. lord i hope so i envision him ripping this defense on screens.
November 18th, 2012 at 10:51 am
Reggie da and krapp cut the balls off of this team..
November 18th, 2012 at 10:52 am

============================================
I’m so confident I’ll give you 2 to 1.
Bet you 5 blog credibility points.
November 18th, 2012 at 10:53 am
Oakland has no chance against the Saints. So basically in typical Raiders fashion that would mean we have a chance.
November 18th, 2012 at 10:54 am
Nnamdi roasted yet again, and not looking too concerned about it.
I am with the poster who said he might just hang them up if released.

When I was looking back to find the blog draft wish list of the posters last night, I came across the OTA post that reminded me that Barksdale was a no-show for them.
Probably didn’t do him any favors with the staff.

Jack Crawford might be active today. He’s our secret weapon.

I’ll take the action, without a shadow of concern of losing.

Vegas, I’m not as down on #55 as some, and still hope he justifies that draft pick(boy is that a recurring theme with this team), but what have you seen from him that makes you so high on him? Think 3-4 ‘D’ would be the difference? Just curious. I know most unbiased rankings have him as average which is better than too many of our players.
November 18th, 2012 at 11:03 am
but what have you seen from him that makes you so high on him?

Maybe it is my lack of getting high now, that has me so high on him.

NOW…I’m disappointed he’s not gonna be taken away from us.
November 18th, 2012 at 11:07 am

But I will take even money he is calling plays week 1 of 2013.
BTW, how about the Lobo’s yesterday? A whole game without completing a pass, and only two attempts?

November 18th, 2012 at 11:20 am
Is it just me or is the real reason the Queefs are so bad is because of their trade for Cassel? Overall, they have some good players, it’s just that Pioli’s move for “his guy” may be his downfall…Crennel isn’t a head coach either.

I get Adams, but what’s with the other two?
Goodson is averaging like 10 yards a touch this season, and Taiwan stinks.
November 18th, 2012 at 11:23 am
I I have a feeling that slo will take a sharp left into the guard instead of taking a clean shot at ivory, allowing another long run.
November 18th, 2012 at 11:23 am
What a terrible call by Reid to run the ball at his 10 yard line with 30 seconds left.
Blatant stat-padding like that deserves a fumble.
November 18th, 2012 at 11:25 am
Goodson fumbled the ball all season, and he kept playing. Taiwan drops the kickoff, he doesn’t handle a bad pitch by Marcel(who didn’t get PT until week 7) and gets blamed for it. Then, on 4th & 15 he doesn’t make something happen on a fake punt where he needed to run 15 yards with a guy draped on him. Brilliant call there.
And yet, the coaches said he didn’t get PT due to his shoulder injury, yet he was our gunner on our ST’s…But hey take this staff a face value

Why should today be any different.
It would seem that karma owes us a visit sometime. You know, like so much bad stuff happens that every once in a while something good actually occurs?
It seems like it’s way too much to ask with these guys.
It’s almost like they devise new and inventive ways to make my sports life miserable.

Slo’s pirouette right past Martin on his first TD run in the TB game told me all I need to know about him. That was laughably, embarrassingly bad. I’ve never seen a MLB, or any LB for that matter, get “ole’d” like that.

I’m an Al Davis fan 1st & foremost. While we don’t disagree with some questionable decisions the past 10 season, it doesn’t rid all the good he did in my mind. Plus, he had us setup better than previous years.
Now, having said that, I wished HE would have hand picked his GM.
Also, I greatly miss him.
