Jets @ Raiders 2nd-Half Game Thread

24-0 Jets. Can the Raiders do anything to salvage this and keep it from getting any uglier then it is?

If so, it's now up to Bruce Gradkowski to do it.

I think if we take away the run, then maybe we have a long shot of a chance.

by Walker Wallace on Oct 25, 2009 2:44 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

it looks like the receivers are catching the ball

whats going on? is it just russel throwing 2 ints? is the defense giving up the plays that badly?

by patriotguy on Oct 25, 2009 2:44 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

NYJ is just running right through b/c their passing game sux. If the Jets can’t run then Mark has got to throw. Oakland hasn’t gotten anything going even when we sustain a good drive. 2 INTs and 3 and outs don’t do the defense any favors.

Gradkowski is in!!!!! this is what we need!!!!

We should not draft a QB

OL and DL yes, but can’t depend on yet another young QB. There are always veterans who can be picked up. We don’t need a superstar. We just need someone who can execute. JR can’t execute consistently, and he’s shown no mental growth.

well

the Q. was which QB has taken their team to the SB, and we gave you 2 answers.

you’re bringing up a different topic all together.

by patriotguy on Oct 25, 2009 3:26 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

you forgot kurt warner

“na how many times has a team
picked up a veteran qb to lead them to the super b”
and we answered.

I agree that we need to draft a QB, but how can we get an above average QB at the moment? seriously, tell me HOW we are to get these AWESOME QB’s that will bring us to the SB? Should we throw our first 3 rounders for them? Give up Asomugha, morrison? QB are in high demand for teams, so tell me HOW?

by patriotguy on Oct 25, 2009 3:32 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

and i agree, like i said so.

And what i’m adding in is the fact that we can’t expect a Matt Ryan to pop out, and get us in the playoffs. Draft a guy, see how he does. if he isn’t doing well, get a guy who can with some experience. If the guy is better than what you got at the moment, then why not? Play the rookie or backup when is ready.
that’s why getting car might be our best shot so far, until we decide who will run our franchise.

For all those who want to draft a QB

Remember how much salary cap pain we already have with JaMarcus. If you take a high QB draft pick you’ll be stuck with more guaranteed money that might not pay off.

let's be real here

we, as the raider nation, have almost the same mentality of Al Davis. None of us has the patience to let a QB develop. we want results now. So why would we be talking about taking another QB in the next draft?

by iBleedSnB on Oct 25, 2009 3:29 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

im talkin about getting results from a qb

immediately. JR has had how many different coaches so far? you can just keep changing coaches and qbs and expect results

by iBleedSnB on Oct 25, 2009 3:33 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

i'm not saying I want JR

what i am saying is everybody seems to think fuck it let’s just draft a new qb next year. to much of a gamble and if that qb doesnt pan out in a year or two we say fuck him too and we’re right back where we started

by iBleedSnB on Oct 25, 2009 3:36 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think we've become less patient

because few of us wanted Jabustus drafted and we see other rookies (Sanchez for example) have some success or at least look like they belong on the football field.

by Rusty23 on Oct 25, 2009 3:32 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

that's why i'm saying

lay off drafting a qb because they’re such a gamble and you never know what you’re really gonna get until like 4 or 5 years down the road. so the best way is to get a decent veteran qb via trade or free agency

by iBleedSnB on Oct 25, 2009 3:34 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh,

I didn’t think JaMarcus was a wasted draft pick at the time. It’s his work ethic, laziness, and attitude that’s got everyone calling for his head or at least I’m not happy because of those things.

Al Davis, you were once a genius (about 30 years ago), and we thank you for the memories and past glories, and for your role in bringing success to the old AFL, but you have destroyed this franchise with your insistence upon a style of play that was in vogue in the 70s, and your stubborn insistence that everyone else is wrong, and only you are right.

…when I heard JaM-R last week after the win against Philly. I don’t think I’d ever heard him interviewed before, and thought, “Is he just exhausted from the game? Or is he really this inarticulate?” Seems to me, you need someone at QB who’s a leader, and how can someone be a leader when they can’t even form a coherent sentence?

NO MORE

40 year fan of the RAIDERS and counting born and bred but for the first time I cant watch

This is heresy, but....

…I started following the Raiders while in high school, in 1968. Got bit by the Heidi Bowl, and have been a Raiders fan ever since. But to be a fan requires an investment in heart and emotion (and usually money, if one is attending games, and buying paraphanalia), but the past couple of years, reached the point that I can’t take the horrible state of the Raiders any longer. Their abysmal performances the past 6 or so seasons do not permit me to continue to invest my heart and soul in this franchise. I’m getting older, and my heart can’t take it any longer. Every season I start out with hope that things will be better than the season before. And this year, I was encouraged by the effort against San Diego in Game 1 (Raiders were robbed in that one). But even with a win in Game 2, it was obvious that something was wrong. And by the time of the loss to the Giants, it was obvious this season was going into the dumper like the past 6.

I’ve slowly begun the migration to another team, one that will likely not win their division this season, but they at least put out a quality effort each week. With every Raider loss, I still die a little bit inside, and I’ve just reached the brutal determination that if the owner and organization (one and the same) have totally lost the ability to be a quality organization, I’m not expending another drop of emotion and devotion in the Raiders. I wish them the best, but I don’t think they will ever be a competitive team again until Al Davis, and all of his influence, is flushed from the organization. Considering his health, he’ll likely outlive me. There is no joy in following the Raiders, so why attempt it?

I can't decide if today's game was sad and pathetic

or pathetic and sad. God this team is going to kill me.

Tom Cable

Gawd, if only the NAPA DA could’ve been a Raiders fan. Tom Cable would’ve been arrested, sent to jail, locked up, and the key wou’ve been thrown away. Instead, he must’ve hated the Raiders and their fans, thus wanting to see it’s pathetic demise continue under his, laughable, so called, ‘leadership’. And, I use that term extremely loosely. He’s done nothing of the sort, at least in terms of leading them in the right direction. What a sorry excuse for a NFL head coach. That’s Tom Cable for you. Useless.

You think Cable is the problem?

Look a little higher in the organization.

Yeah I dunno any more.

I think if he wasn’t in Oakland and has a chance to really coach, then maybe he’s not bad. Look @ last year’s TB game last weeks game….

Maybe Kiffin was right about blitzing last year after all.

Win, Lose, or Tie, Raiders til I die!

CABLE SAYS RUSSELL STILL THE STARTING QB

That is what is in the news right now…isn’t that wonderful? Russell will be starting Sunday against the Chargers! Good times! I wonder how many interceptions he will throw? How many fumbles will he have? How bad will the score be? We lost 38-0 today, maybe we could lose 52-0 this Sunday!

Oh Yeah

He really contributed to your big win in Houston. Oh wait, you lost. To your point though, just who would complete a pass to him if the Raiders had drafted him?

Scouting Dept.

Maybe if we had a scouting dept. like the rest of the teams have me might be able to get some quality players, DHB was picked before Crabtree and lets see… DHB has 4 receptions in 7 games and dropped a TD pass right in his hands and Crabtree has 5 receptions in one game, yep, we made the right pick!

Maybe if Davis listened to them..

Win, Lose, or Tie, Raiders til I die!
