Game Thread: Oakland Raiders @ San Diego Chargers

PrintEveryone knows how this game is supposed to end up, BUT, if the games always followed suit, there would be no need to play them.
So, now is the time for the Raiders to Answer the Bell, much as , according to Charlie Frye, JaMarcus Russell did at 6:30AM this past Wednesday. Heck, the 60 million dollar man probably woke up earlier than me that day!! (Cue Gomer Pyle, "Surprise, Surprise!!!".)
It would not "Surprise" me at all to think that this is Tom Cable's last hurrah, if he doesn't get a win this week. 2-6 going into the break, with a last place scoring offense that you call the plays for and an owner with a quick fuse, well, you get the picture. If this team loves Cable as much as they say they do, they'd better leave it ALL on the field.
Here is to hoping that, once again, this team does the unthinkable and beats a team that nobody picked them too.
So, raise a glass of whatever you are drinking, and, toast with me:
"Here is to the Good Times And Bad,
The happy times and sad,
And here is to Every Sunday,
Where the GOOD GUYS WEAR BLACK!!!"

Thank God they are running the ball
…and who’d of thought….it’s working.
Cable Bumaye! Raiders Bumaye!
I can live with an interception
But not when it’s thrown into triple coverage. And overthrown anyway.
I don’t even know why I bother.

Nathaniel Parker Willis, "The Belfrey Pigeon"
Same story as last week
Both of his interceptions killed drives that were actually moving down field.
This kid is hopeless.

Papa says Louis Murphy got his feet tangled with a Charger defender and fell down
which made the throw look worse than it was. Though it wasn’t good anyway.

Okay, so...
….Rivers has all day to throw? Check.
….inept coverage by the Raiders? Check
…the Chargers doing what the Raiders want to do (i.e., stretch the field and pound the ball on the goal line?) Check.
Nothing ever changes.

Almost
Started well then they let J.R. throw

Coverage wasn't that bad
Just a good throw to a spot Huff couldn’t get to. The problem was with the zero pressure
Cable Bumaye! Raiders Bumaye!
Was hoping they could feel that same fire they did on opening night
But the defensive line has apparently packed it in for the year.

Well. I missed the first ten minutes of the game.
Guess I missed the only part where we wouldn’t be down.

yea i should of shut it off
after 2 straight first downs…that was the highlight of the day

Why is JR back on the field?!
Get him on the bench – he had his chance to prove that he can step it up this game on on his first throw he kills the drive and the momentum

JR had plenty of time, there was no reason not to set up and make a good throw

Not that Alston has done great or anything, but Brown was pretty atrocious.

But we should have been able
to put it in the endzone. our D has been holding up for us pretty well this half. hopefully that little drive gave them a little rest to get some pressure on Rivers
I say this is the right move
If there were 5 minutes or less left, I’d say go for it. But still plenty of time left.

What a joke
Seriously, this offensive line is fucking pathetic

They are really atrocious
But you have to playcall around it—not deep routes but quick slants

All they're doing is sending the house
And the O-line is collapsing.
Don’t we have a hot route? A screen? something? Anything?

Only in Oakland.
Jesus. We have great WRs.
No, there's no light,
in the darkest of your furthest reaches.
Game
Sigh. Oh well. At least we didn’t get blown out. So sick of that being the great moral achievement.

2-6
It’s a better mark than Detroit, Cleveland, Tennessee, St. Louis, Kansas City and Tampa Bay.

We could have won both games against SD this year.....that is what hurts!!
There is no A in OFFENSE!!
Having aknowledged that at times we have played HORRIBLE this season
we have also had no luck go our way whatsoever with either just being unlucky or having guys just simply make great plays against us at times. In both games against the chargers there have been great plays made against us that have resulted in TDs – Week 1, Rivers TD pass to put them ahead against Nnamdi – Just a brilliant throw and catch against the best cover CB in the game after we played brilliantly. Today – Malcom Flloyd makes a rediculas catch for a 53 yard int against good coverage from Huff then LT runs it in and both games lost by roughly a TD.
Maybe we are closer that it seems at times

Not in Touch with Reality
Yet another lackluster performance by JaMarcus Russell on November 1st against the Chargers. He was 14 for 22 for 109 yards, with a fumble and an interception that led to a Charger touchdown. Russell was visibly confused at times with the plays and used at least one timeout because of it. But what does Coach Cable have to say about his latest performance against the Chargers?
“He seemed very much to be in control today," Cable said. "A couple throws he’d probably like to have over again, but for the most part he gave us a chance to win today."

Cable still remains committed to Russell at quarterback. I wonder…do he and Al Davis also think that the moon is made of green cheese? These guys just aren’t in touch with the reality that Russell is a bust as a quarterback.
As long as Russell remains the starting quarterback, Raider fans have nothing to look forward to on Sundays. With Russell at the helm, you can count on another season with 11 plus losses.
