thoughts on the game.

can the Raiders win with Brooks?
Will the Defense actually win the game since we know the Offense won't?
Will Gabriel be the missing spark the offense needed all season?

Go Raiders!!!!!!!!!

The Answers

Nope,

The offense sucks and the D can only do so much. Time for Shoop to go back to qb coach next year draft like hell on offense and get a real coordinator for a year.

Looking like with the First pick the Raiders select Brady Quinn, quarterback Notre Dame.

Since Brooks isn't the answer, nor has Walter shown he can lead the Raiders back to the promise land.

or listen on TV, did check the internet and checked the play by play in which it looked like Walter came into the game to start the 4th quarter. I see where he threw 2 interceptions, where they all his fault or did some receiver tip the ball to a defender or something? From what I read it looked like he threw a lot of short passes that were somewhat successful, also notice a lot of false start penalties, what is your opinion of his effort? Do we have to draft a QB?

on Walter

Well his first interception was pretty much his fault, threw a 20 yard out, but there was coverage under, I don't think he was saw the corner slip underneath and the the guy jumped up and took it. The second one was all morant. It was a quick slant and walter hit him, but morant bobbled the ball up and got tipped and picked off. Walter is still undecisive, or we waits too long, or the routes arent doing it. He got sacked on a play where the route wasnt being run fast enough, you could see him waiting for whitted to make a break but it wasnt happening and he got sacked. Im was calling for the a go route to the endzone, they would creep up the safety, and morant was 1 on 1 with the corner, but the routes were all slants on morants side, so not sure about that one.

In Brooks and Walter's Defenses:

The first pick by Brooks, his arm has hit.

As far as Walter goes, a 3rd and 8 became 3rd and 18 on his first pick because of two false starts back to back.

His second hit off of Marant's hands...If you can call them hands!!!

He did complete more passes and looked fine. he should start over Brooks and after Brooks's comments yesterday, I think that Walter will get his shot to close out the season.

He should treat the last two games like a new season and see what he can get out of them.

thanks for clarifying that

I always feel there should be a stat for balls that receivers tip up in the air which are intercepted.
I looked at the straight stats and it looked like Walter didn't perform that badly, except for the 2 interceptions.

He has now completed half of his passes!

That is a silver lining to this black cloud

I think the better question

is do you want to win with Brooks. If he closes strong, he might stick around longer. I think we all agree it would be better to start looking for that franchise QB.
