PrintMan, the Texans are back again. It seems like they are a cupcake on our schedule every season, yet, they win in Oakland EVERY TIME.
This season they are anything BUT cupcakes. In fact, they are 3.5 point favorites IN Oakland!!!
Whether it is Sage Rosenfelds or starter Matt Schaub, the Texans have been in most games this season.
They are only 2-5 on the road, but, with rookie Steve Slaton in the backfield and Andre "1,000" Johnson at wide-out, they will prove a challenge for Oakland's porous defense.
Curry and Lelie are probably OUT today, so there will be no excuse for McFadden NOT touching the ball 20+ times. And that is a good thing because he really is our ONLY hope today.
With three straight wins against the Jags, Packers (In Lambeau) and Tennessee coming into this game, I don't see the Raiders having a shot. But, that is why they play the games, eh?
I'll be rooting from home today because of this damn flu, so I'll so it LOUD right now...Go RRRAAAIIDDEERRSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm more shocked when Oakland is giving points, not when they're getting
points (which happens 90% of the time). And I , like most gamblers, will sell the Raiders as they’re 5-9 against the spread for the year.
touchdown Raiders
did we really just score on the first drive of a game? Awesome. And on a pass to play to none other than Chaz Schilens. He’s going to be a great player one day as the future Raiders receiving corps will consist of JLH, Schilens, Shields, and Watkins.

running McFadden on short yardage. Why don’t you use Michael Bush. you know the guy who we drafted to be a short-yardage guy.

Why are the coaches even there
the players alone, calling the plays alone and whatnot, would be far better than this shit. Hell, a fan could call better plays

let's get ready to watch houston
score another TD because we can’t cover TE or WR reverses.

Holy crap!
I can’t believe that worked!
Onside kick at this stage in the game……if that hadn’t worked, it would’ve been a repeat of the fake field goal debacle against KC.
But it worked and I’ll take it! Now let’s capitalize. WOOOO!
holy fuck stop runnig Fargas
put D-Mac in you queers. Why draft a RB if you never run him dumbasses?

time for another failed 3rd. down
because we don’t know how to use our players the right way.

Who is this guy playing in Russell's uniform?
I’ve said it all along: Russell has the tools. He needs CONSISTENCY.
And if he doesn’t get it over the off-season, and keep it for a few years, his career is in real trouble.
The best I can suggest...
…is to go to Justin.tv or channelsurfing.net
If those have no video streams, you can listen to it at http://www.ksfo.com
dude just watch on ESPN gamecast
go to ESPN.com, click NFL and go to scoreboards. Then find oakland vs. Houston and click gamecast

I love how miller and D-Mac
are the only threats on our offense yet we never use McFadden and miller is always staying in to block

agreed
we always complain about bad drafting, but we get a good many steals.
1. Nnamdi Asomugha
2. Michael bush (if we’d ever run him)
3. Shane Lechler

And the defense holds!
I was getting a little worried after that first Houston drive.
I’d keep an eye out for some Houston trickery….
Dear Tom Cable,
The Raiders drafted one of the most dynamic offensive players to come onto this team in years. His name is Darren McFadden. You’re allowed to play him.
Kthxbye,
Raybin
The few games we've won this season...
….have been those rare occasions when both sides of the ball play well. It always seems to be either one or the other fucking us over.
here comes the Texans touchdown
just wait for it

"Good pressure from William Joseph"
Maybe the first time in his career that he’s made a play-by-play guy say those words. :-)
another third down
let’s not screw this one up. Put D-Mac in at receiver and pass to Miller while the Texans draw their attention to D-Mac

Gotta jet for a while
Hope to make it back before the end of the game.
RRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIDDDDDEEERRRRSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why do we run on third down
we never make it

Cable's a horrendous play caller
No two ways about it.
The sad thing is, he’s probably better than Knapp.
very true
we really need some help at coach. And more over, owner.

two run plays that have been stopped
by Nnamdi. Playmaker on defense.

wow a 65 yard pass play
what else is new?

it seems like our defense has just decided to roll over and die
it’s so fucking pathetic.

well at least it was just a field goal

wow we didn't even get a FG try
that’s crap

alright I'm out
go Raiders i guess.
We win, we get our first win on Houston. We lose, we get a higher draft pick. Win or lose, it’s a win both ways.
