Halftime: Seahawks 13, Raiders 6
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, August 29th, 2008 at 8:30 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Scoring
Sea–Brandon Coutu 28-yard field goal, 9:54.
Oak–Sebastian Janikowski 40-yard field goal, 4:36
Oak–Janikowski 50-yard field goal, :05
– Mike Holmgren doesn’t want to play his starters, but he wants another score. The Seahawks called time out after two short gains, bringing up a third-and-4. Michael Bush followed with 9-yard run, prompting the Raiders to call time with 34 seconds left and the ball at their own 21.
– Andrew Walter threw for gains of 9 yards to Chaz Schilens and 8 yards to Tony Stewart, bringing the ball out to their 37-yard line, with the Raiders calling their second time out.
Continuing to inch forward rather than take a shot deep, Walter threw underneath to Stewart for 3 yards to the 40. Oakland called its third time out.
– Schilens, who may be cementing a roster spot, caught a 28-yard pass to the Seattle 32 with nine seconds left. It set up Janikowski’s 50-yard field goal with five seconds left in the half. Schilens has three catches for 49 yards.
Janikowski’s ensuing kickoff sailed out of the end zone.
– Marveil Underwood helped stall a Seattle drive with a tackle after a short completion and a pass breakup, with Ryan Plackemeier punting 32 yards with a Michael Waddell fair catch.
Waddell playing deep means Higgins is probably done for the evening without returning a punt in the game.
– Darren McFadden spun out of a tackle, revesed his field and ran 23 yards to the Oakland 39-yard line, giving him 50 yards on four carries.
Todd Watkins caught a pass deflected by Josh Wilson for a 16-yard gain on third-and-5, Oakland’s first third-down conversion of the game. A pass in the left flat to Luke Lawton gained 12 yards to the Seattle 28. It was Lawton’s third catch for 29 yards.
– A third-and-6 draw play to Michael Bush gained only 2 yards, bringing in Janikowski to attempt a 40-yard field goal. He converted the kick, despite another slightly high snap from Jon Condo, as the Raiders drove 64 yards in 10 plays.
– With Trevor Scott being walled off by left tackle Floyd Womack, Wallace completed a 30-yard pass to Michael Bumphus to go over 100 yards passing and put the Seahwks in the red zone. The completion gave Wallace six completions in eight attempts for 109 yards.
A holding penalty stifled the drive, with Coutu kicking a 28-yard field goal for a 13-0 lead. The Seahakws drive covered 63 yards in 12 plays, and with 9:54 left in the half, Seattle has outgained Oakland 180-69.

Flores sounds like John Madden. But after Madden had a stroke. He’s real good at reporting the obvious. I’m waiting for him to remind us the home games will be played in Oakland.

August 29th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
Post 1 that is funny ROFL
August 29th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
The cooks do suck, along with the rest of the NFL
August 29th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Schillens, JLH and Watkins, all playing our weakest spot, seems to be the best on the field..
August 29th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
“Darren McFadden spun out of a tackle, revesed his field and ran 23 yards to the Oakland 39-yard line, giving him 50 yards on four carries…”
Well..! how you doin’!!!
August 29th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
scillens looks like a keeper for sure- hes completely outclassing the other recievers- he could be a steal
August 29th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
Night All

LTR LMN
August 29th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
yeah i’m high on schilens, i watched some vids of him as a aztec,he might be a damn good steal actually…
August 29th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
we have to keep this team and coach together for awhile- they are so young and fast we can have a dynasty
August 29th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
I told ya….I told ya….I told ya…….
Chaz MOTHA F@KING Schilens is the steal….
August 29th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
The more I hear about Schilens the more I wonder if this was Lofton’s pet project?
I’m happy with his development and would love to see Lofton build this guy to be big-time.
August 29th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
scott needs to gain 10 lbs
August 29th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
thec was right
August 29th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
post 14 agree 100%, thats what we need is continuity…
August 29th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Raiders/SeaChickens Game will be replayed on NFL Network at 10pm tonight… FYI
August 29th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Watkins is a beast,nice concentration! There’s nothing harder than catching a batted ball.
August 29th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
how about walter- he looks pretty damn good as well- and henderson only messed up once so far
August 29th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
Not going to go over board it was against the 2nd stringers Chaz needs to do that against the ones.
August 29th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
Thec
U better put a kicker in ur starting line-up before u start playing againts me thurs.
August 29th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
KILL DENVER!!!!!
August 29th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
We need to keep watkins an schill period
August 29th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
I agree.
August 29th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
They’re talkin up Watkins and Shillens now
August 29th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
I dont like gruden but kiffin sounded like him
August 29th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
I wonder if they practice to look this bad. It can’t be natural. Nobody can be this consistently bad without practicing to do so. That must be the plan - fake everybody out and make them think we’re beyond help. What? We are not pretending? Whoa.
August 29th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
“he just doesnt look like a rookie”- coach on schillens at halftime
August 29th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Janikowski looks great
August 29th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
“Great night to be a raider” he says… indeed.
August 29th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
JB, thats some deep S#IT bro…… lol
August 29th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
JB =MR
August 29th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
not that it matters but we are going to win this game
August 29th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
First cut = Waddell
August 29th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
No I’m not MR. Just an old time fan who’s tired of taking it in the shorts.
August 29th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
why not give jr some reps this game??? how bout tui,think he ever feels guilty cashing his check for doing nothing???lol
August 29th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Waddell wadelled his a$$ off this team in the 1st pre season game
August 29th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
I hope so… My chick is talking some serious crap!
August 29th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Lawton looked pretty decent ya?… agree?
August 29th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
dump her./
August 29th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
is archulleta in the raiders plans at all?
August 29th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
El dirty, what up?
August 29th, 2008 at 8:49 pm

August 29th, 2008 at 8:49 pm

August 29th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
chick talk crap? domestic violence?
Don’t bother responding
August 29th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
El Dirty, listening to this game and laughing at this blog…..
Our 2nd string D is in trouble BRO…..
August 29th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Archulleta will probably make the 53 by default. We’e got so many qualified to be cut that he’ll probably still be standing when the dust settles.
August 29th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
No need to resort to violence. Just a swift kick in the behind on her way out…lol
Just kidding….
August 29th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
wHO IS rOD mARTIN?
August 29th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
way to google
August 29th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
That’s what im reading! no worries… as long as the starters on D bend and don’t break this year… its going to be interdting this year.
August 29th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
A Raider Great….
August 29th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Did anyone else see that? It said “voice of Rod Martin” when it was clearly Greg Papa LOL
August 29th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
eh?
August 29th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
When I watch this game thru the first half I see Seneca Wallace has had Holmgren’s offense for the entire time he’s been in the league. It shows. He knows where to go with the ball. Then you have Walter who has had three coaches in the same time Wallace has had Holmgren. It shows. And the Raiders are still in the game.
August 29th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
WTF is up with wand?
August 29th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
the broadcast is wack.
they were talking up schilens and showed slomo of watkins so yeah, mickey mouse tv football all the way…

August 29th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Our dline gettin trucked
August 29th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
So so far we can assume what? Lawton, Schillens, Wattkins (who by the way better make the team after that catch he made after the ball bounced off a defender) then who else???
And the cuts are, Waddell, Waddell, uhm…. Waddell….
August 29th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
These guys would even make Schweigert look good. Now that’s really bad.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Papa might be faded too..
August 29th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
who cares? I’m going to bed.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:01 pm

August 29th, 2008 at 9:02 pm

August 29th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
Dude, she’s a charger fan??? c’mon man…. well, I guess better than her being a Donkey fan…
August 29th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
The Raiders problem in a nutshell - from Front office to commentators to players. Quit living in the past. Wake up people. You got nowhere to go but up.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
RT givein props to RM # 53 lives
August 29th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Interesting what they are saying about Rod Martin. Elway thought Rod Martin was one of the toughest guys he ever had to play against.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
th
my bad Im drunk
August 29th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Atkinson is hammered.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
did atkinson have a stroke for real?…he gets his words are jumbled
August 29th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
I live in Dago… All Blond and hot and Dolt fans…
August 29th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
the only problem with cutting Waddell…
is that it must be acknowledged that he was on the team at all…
August 29th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
all the announcers are spaced- coach is running 10 minutes behind- hopefully its a hangover and not alzheimers
August 29th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
donkey fan is the worst
August 29th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
pb u having a stroke, wtf?
August 29th, 2008 at 9:06 pm

“They gotta cut 22 guys tomorrow”. No problem. Just take tonight’s starting D & ST. That should about handle it. Need a few more? No problem.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
#112
Wasn’t Shields. It was that damn #84 jersey.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Kowski’s lookin giood tonight! Shields looks like garbage, that’s what happens when you don’t practice and you’re not Plaxico Burres .
August 29th, 2008 at 9:16 pm

August 29th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
waddell, pull him and send him packing
August 29th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
That’s it! Waddell is GONE! That flag did it…
August 29th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
He’s (Waddell)ing off to the unemployment line.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
the only way Waddell CAN defend a pass is to interfere…
August 29th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
haha scrubs are funny and sad, like crazy ass laughing while bawling.. pathetic,… like that.

August 29th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
We really need to cut the commentators in the booth too. I gotta believe we can do better than that too. Everything NEEDS upgrading.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
my eyes want to close…
good night people…
August 29th, 2008 at 9:22 pm

nite pete
August 29th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
JB you fool, did you actually come in here and diss Papa?
August 29th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
With 700+ p[layers getting cut tomorrow, you’d think we’d be able to improve our current lot in life.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
pcblack, It’s kind of like where teachers say to kids, OK, pair up. it’s up to the teams to match up against each other the league doesn’t deal. Note how this last week, all the teams went against other teams close in proximity, to lessen travel and travel issues. Team find each other. That’s why we play zona and seattle and the whiners every year.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
papas da man..anyone on the preseason schedules?
August 29th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
JB, you would think with 700 guys coming down the pike we could find someone.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Yeah, I’m tired of listening to his old time BS, Flores too. We’d be better entertained with elevator music. We really need a new paint job.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
got it thanks oak,thought so but wasnt sure…
August 29th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
