See you all on the other side of the 4th Qtr.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:05 am
@ DR_ROBERT
I agree with your explanation of what thrash is but I could see why someone would like thrash but not traditional rock. There’s a good amount of separation between the two.
I personally love Slayer but agree with the idea of a band trying to be scary kind of silly. I think it’s cute that they think there actually is a God up there to even hate us all.
Also, if your name is a Beatles reference, right on.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:05 am
Gio w/ the tackle 5 yds in the end zone…
Hope he didn’t get concussed
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:05 am
Damn lol
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:05 am
53 is not better than 55, lol.
WOW, we got lucky there.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:06 am
lol same old raiders rushing d even if it is turned back

Thrash is a sub-category of metal. Metal is an extension of hard rock, which is blues based. If u don’t know thrash is a sub category of rock, then u don’t know much. Slayer is one of the four main thrash groups. Like Metallica, who didn’t blink when they covered bob Seger. I get a laugh outta people who like thrash and think its not rock. They don’t even know where the music came from.
————–
It must be hard to go through life not being able to admit when you are wrong. Slayer is not called or referred to as a rock band. Never.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:07 am
STill can’t cover the TE
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:07 am
Seems like Carolina is going after 33
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:08 am
And Metallica covering Seagar was horrible. They lost all relevance after “Justice”.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:09 am
Sack lunch. Newton acting like a b###h
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:09 am
Cam in 3rd and long is extremely vulnerable.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:09 am
Adams is a BALLER, O!!!
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:10 am
krapp time…
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:11 am
Dumb coaching decision to have Adams returning punts fresh off 2 concussions.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:11 am
It is a reference to the Beatles. Good man for recognizing.
Rock is a huge unbrella. Just cuz ur a metal head and “hate weak rock” doesn’t mean thrash isn’t rock.
Same as missdick denying he’s a racist. Facts are facts.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:11 am
Can Krapp get points 4,5 and 6 on opening drives for the ENTIRE SEASON now ?
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:12 am
Mystic1 must be going crazy who does he root for Scam Newton or The Raiders
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:12 am
Will Nick Foles outplay IR’G III today?
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:13 am
nice
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:13 am
Play Pryor at WR!!!
Did you see that wobbler he threw to Carson?
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:13 am
who kidnapped krapp?
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:14 am
Major holes everywhere, and McNinny plows into his OG.
ZERO VISION
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:14 am
woohoo pryor
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:14 am
ABOUT TIME!!!
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:15 am
P’s pass TP CP LOOKED OK…NICE RUN
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:15 am
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! MCFADDEN IS SLOWEST BACK IN NFL. 666
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:15 am
3rd and 1 runs NEVER WORK!!!!
Either QB sneak, or throw it.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:15 am
Nice play all Knappy!
WTF is this guy doing with an OC job?
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:15 am
wait nevermind he is back…
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:16 am
sh*tty play call on 3rd as usual
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:16 am
McFadden’s blocking on 1st and 2nd down was awesome.
He did nothing with it.
Play Goodson.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:16 am
Bad time to call a pitch
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:17 am
JOHN GRUDEN DESIGNED THAT PITCH PLAY 13 YEARS AGO. I THINK ITS BEEN FIGURED OUT. BUT A BACK WITH DECENT SPEED HITS THAT CORNER, MCFADDEN IS SLOW. 666
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:17 am
Anyone still want to argue 20 hasn’t lost a step?
2 plays right there from “last year” that USED to be automatic for DMAC, and we can’t get a damn 1st dn.
PHUUCCCC!!!!!!
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:17 am
palmer should’ve audibled out of that. from the endzone cam you could see it was going to fail pre-snap.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:17 am

LOL, keep spinning man. I know my music history and where everything has stemmed form. With your logic you might as well call Meshuggah a rhythm and blues act. Maybe they can cover a John Lee Hooker track. Too funny.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:17 am
Opening drive point total for all of 2012 remains at 3.
Let that sink in.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:18 am
THAT PLAY UP THE GUT THAT MCFADDEN GOT ANKLE TACKLED ON PETERSON SCORES A TD ON. 666
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:18 am
Kelly will be here making those same plays next year, Charlie.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:18 am
KNAPP CALLED RIGHT PLAY, TO WRONG PLAYER. 666
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:19 am
THAT PLAY UP THE GUT THAT MCFADDEN GOT ANKLE TACKLED ON PETERSON SCORES A TD ON.
***************************
9 out 10 RB’s break that tackle at least.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:19 am
HUFF HASNT MADE A PLAY SINCE THE ROSE BOWL. 666
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:21 am
WHEELERS DREADS, EXTENSIONS, SLOWED HIM DOWN. 666
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:21 am
We NEED better LB play folks.
Sorry Wheeler and Burris fans.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:21 am
Huff closed well there, but why are they playing so far off?
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:22 am
Teams run right at Burris, and don’t have to even block him.
He still doesn’t make plays.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:22 am
Bring back Darryl Blackenstock.
53 is AWFUL!!!!!
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:22 am
Allen seeing Panthers do what he should’ve been doing more of this year.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:23 am
GO refs!
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:23 am
I do enjoy being on the right side of the officials these days.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:24 am
HOPEFULLY NO MORE PRYOR IN THIS GAME. 666
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:24 am
Burris plays like a rookie, JFB.
He’ll be better next year.
Really good rushing the passer.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:25 am
heck of a toss, damnit
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:25 am
hanson for mvp!…lol
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:25 am
Maybe when Palmer gets his 4000, the good ole boys will let Pryor play
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:25 am
HAHAHAHAHAHA AS SOON AS HANSON GETS BURNED HE GETS BLASTED BY GIORDANO!!!!!!!….CANT WAIT TO SEE THAT ON ESPN!!!! 666
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:25 am
2nd and forever and Tarver blitzes TWICE and gets burned TWICE.
SMH
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:26 am
cam is schooling these guys…
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:27 am
Here comes more 3 and outs with Palmer.
Let Pryor ad lib = more dangerous.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:28 am

Yes, it is more dangerous — to the offense. Good way to lose the ball and good way to get WRs hurt with wobbly throws over the middle.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:28 am
and these guys want more slow unathletic practice yes men…
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:30 am
Raiders getting worked over so far.
Not a very good game plan by DA, Knapp, and Tarver at this point.
Panthers look ready to play.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:31 am
All this running sideways, just turn it upfield!!!!
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:31 am
knapps favorite play = 2 yard game
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:31 am
Believe Zymurge. You will become one once you see extended play from him. Get in a groove, shake off the rust.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:31 am
ALL EN AND KNAPP AND TARVER NEED MORE YEARS. CONTINUITY. 666
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:31 am
3rd and 1..run left.lol
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:31 am
Stellar FS play there by Giordano.
LMFAO
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:31 am
3rd and 1 any guesses?
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:32 am
3rd and 1 let’s see. Horrible
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:32 am
Well, will they play Pryor or Leinart
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:32 am
TP time?
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:32 am
OUCH
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:32 am
this bs that knapp runs fvck him
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:33 am
He brought that on himself.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:33 am
Cmon Zymurge, like that particular typical Knapp play (myers catch) is going to do anything for us. We’ve been doing that all year at no avail.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:33 am
Palmer out?????.?.!.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:33 am
that’s gonna leave a mark
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:33 am
Thanks Knapp, great play call. You really need to get fired!
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:33 am
he should be the guy throwing those passes fvck gregg knapp
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:33 am
see there it is again, that same play. no avail.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:33 am
Just got home. Did I see something about Palmer hurt?
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:33 am
On the right side of the refs still, lol.
That’s on Palmer, but it was a good call, can’t lower the helmet like that.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:34 am
That was a penalty?
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:34 am
OOOOOHHH NOOOOO….GET READY TO SEE SAMBO NOT THAT GOOD A QUARTERBLACK…HE KNOW WARREN MOON. 666
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:34 am
Throw it away CP…
Hope he’s ok…viscious
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:34 am
End of Palmer. Everybody’s gonna get their wish. Saddest 4,000+ yard season in Raider history.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:34 am
TP6 or Leinart? Who plays will tell us what DA’s intentions are.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:34 am
Ugly playcalling so far this game…as usual
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:35 am
Thanks DA.
You just got Palmer killed in a unnecessary game.
Not the circumstances I wanted to see Houdini play, but I guess it was what it was going to take. Fvcking idiot coaches.
Lets go TP. The time is now.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:35 am
That was on Palmer, he held the ball for like 5 seconds.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:35 am
Leinart?!
This staff has it’s head firmly planted.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:35 am
YES LEINERT!!!! USC USC USC 666
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:35 am
How long does Leinart last?
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:35 am
LOLOLOLOL
Leinart?????
99 is losing his mind somewhere.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:35 am
If Palmers injured Leinart will run the majority of offense. They’ve only been giving Pryor little packages of plays. Hope they put him out there more tho, he knows playbook.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:35 am
I knew Palmer would get hurt sooner or later, but we play Leinart?
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:36 am
Knapp’s ZBS is terrible!
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:36 am
McFadden was open for the yard gain, and Palmer didn’t throw it.
That’s 110% on him.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:36 am
STAY DOWN CP…
maybe we’ll see TP b4 it’s over
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:36 am
LEINERT IS DECENT. SAMBO SUCKS. 666
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:36 am
i fvckin hate knapp
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:36 am
Maybe Leinart will separate a shoulder again
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:36 am
yup this about to get ugly
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:37 am
Hate to see a Raider go down like that.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:37 am
quit with the lateral crapp
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:37 am
Are you fing kidding me? Horrible horrible playcall
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:37 am
Maybe we are going for draft position.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:37 am
So I guess no Houdini.
Fvcking idiots. Seriously.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:37 am
And if you wanted proof of how poorly Pryor has been playing in practice, there is it in the body of #7 as the backup. Beleive me, if Pryor was showing ANYTHING of worth he’d be on the field.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:37 am
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOW YOU KNOW HOW THE RAIDERS FEEL ABOUT SAMBO!!!!!. 666
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:37 am
greg krapp is a pos…
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:37 am
And Leinart knows Knapp’s offense. Result = -3 yard gain. BRILLIANT!
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:37 am
LOL! What a flippin joke.
I see we’re turning that corner. Let’s build momentum for next year with Knapp & Leinart. lol. SAD
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:37 am
And this game just got boring
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:38 am
CP had that first if he just would of ran for it. 1 yd, smh.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:38 am
And leinart is in why, exactly?
Seems like a good time to look at Pryor…
He must know enough of the playbook by now…. right?
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:38 am
Cmon Zymurge, there’s that BS knapp horizontal short playcalling again. That stuff aint fooling anyone. Get Pryor out there ad-libbing much better.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:39 am
Are those clowns really wasting time playing Leinart.
This franchise is garbage
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:39 am
DA actually has me rooting for Leinart to get lit up.
This guy is a fvcking moron.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:39 am
This is lunacy, lol.
Pryor is good enough to handle 3rd downs and redzone but he isn’t good enough to be #2???
SMH
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:39 am
lienhart is in because he is knapps boytoy…
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:39 am
SAMBO DOESNT KNOW PLAYBOOK BECAUSE HE CANT READ. 666
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:39 am
LMAO at Krapp’s playcalling.
Doesn’t matter whether it’s CP, Lice or TP – Krapp ain’t throwing past the sticks on 3rd down.
Pathetic scheming and play calling.
Unwatchable.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:39 am
News flash from Tom Flores; ‘play calling and design doesn’t make sense!’
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:40 am
Pryor could call and run plays better than Knapp. Hard to imagine worse
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:40 am
Another year down, knapp needs to be fired as soon as this game is done.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:40 am
Leinart doesn’t want ANY part of this..
Check cashier delux…
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:40 am
Knapp must be released.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:41 am

December 23rd, 2012 at 10:37 am
So I guess no Houdini.
Fvcking idiots. Seriously.
————–
You bash guys for not liking this staff all year and now the last couple weeks you wanna jump ship? just shows how much you knew all along.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:41 am
If there was a single leader on this roster, they go grap DA and ask him WTF he is doing with Leinart in there.
Seriously, I want someone to go punch DA in the face right now.
Theyre about to bring Al back to life. He cant take it anymore.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:41 am
how many passes BEHIND the los can crappie call? Mother of mercy please help me!!!!
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:41 am
I see we’re turning that corner. Let’s build momentum for next year with Knapp & Leinart. lol. SAD
——————————————————————————-
Unbelievable.
Leinart??????
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:41 am
Knapp thinks he’s saving he “good plays” for next year…
Funny Joke Knappy
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:41 am
“believe me, if Pryor was showing anything blah blah”
sorry pal, I dont believe you, or knapp’s evaluation abilities or offensive co-ordinating.
You’ll all find out this game, Pryor is the man going forward, once he gets some extended drives, not bits and pieces, on for a play off for 20, on for a couple, off for 20.
Leave him in, let him warm up. You will believe!
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:42 am
Dumbest team in america. What the hell are they trying to accomplish here with Leinart in the gm?
That and Knapp’s sorry azz offensive scheme
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:42 am
Leinart had 3 chances to pick up 2 yards. couldnt do it.
Only the f’n raiders would get stuck with Knapp/ leinart bahahahaha
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:45 am
The fact ha Reggi signed Leinart tells you he is clueless…
Heck of a reverse…couldn’t get TJ the reverse?
Freaking coaching staff are moronic
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:45 am
If only they gained yards by running SIDEWAYS on the field…
This offensive game plan is feeble
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:46 am
good thing you didnt bobble it mitchell…you mightve been in the doghouse…
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:46 am
Gonna be getting a top 3 pick next year too.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:46 am
Really mitchell, who called that?
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:47 am
I hate the WCO.

Gee. I wonder who he’s rooting for. He’s no Raider fan.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:51 am
Knapp absolutely has to be fired…. There’s no way on Earth he should be employed in the NFL.
I’m sitting on my couch guessing his playcalls. And I’m not a very good D coordinator.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:51 am
What ticks me off is Hagan has disappeared. He needs more reps.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:53 am
1st Down run EVERY TIME.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:54 am
Hmmm…you knew that was coming.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:54 am
OK… THAT was inpressive…
“6… you like up behind center. Take the snap, run right into their tackle. Got it?”
Some special package, Knapp…
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:56 am
if Leinhart gets hurts i bet DA and knapp go with lechler instead of Pryor.
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:58 am
And Leinart marches them down the field. Kind of makes you go hmmmmm. At least until they wasted a play on an obvious Pryor run.
December 23rd, 2012 at 11:03 am
How in he11 did that idiot ref miss Spam Newton kicking Kelly?
December 23rd, 2012 at 11:03 am
Not Kelly’s fault.
December 23rd, 2012 at 11:03 am
Of course, Cam Newton gets away with it.
December 23rd, 2012 at 11:04 am
So Cam Newton kicks TK in the face and then we get to hear a lecture on how the Raiders are out of control? WTF?????
December 23rd, 2012 at 11:10 am
This idiot ref needs to go catch some catfish and get out of the business. I’ve seen his games before.
Worst in the NFL.
Will the NFL sit him down? Nope…

December 23rd, 2012 at 11:11 am
Wow. Textbook tackle. Bullschit.
December 23rd, 2012 at 11:15 am
Cam Newton is an NFL flopper.
December 23rd, 2012 at 11:18 am
Leinart sucks.
December 23rd, 2012 at 11:23 am
Knapp needs to be fired before the end of the first half.
December 23rd, 2012 at 11:41 am
Another well designed play…
“#17… we’re gonna hit you at the line of scrimmage. You catch it, and stand there waiting for the tackle.”
