I am not sure if there is a Raider fan on the planet that can forget the "Pitch to the Polish Sausage" on 4th and forever that doomed the Raider's chances of beating the Chiefs in Oakland last season. I could not stop saying, "What the (Insert Expletive)!", over and over when I left that game. It may be the worst call in sports history. Not the BIGGEST worst call, Like Barry Switzer going for it on 4th Down and killing the Cowboys, but just straight up play calling Tom-Foolery that ended in disaster.
Like Raider Way has pointed out, there will be NO excuses this week. NONE!
Chaz, McFadden, Green and GALLERY will be back, so the INJURY excuse will be GONE!!!
We are playing a Division Rival, so the intensity should be there.
We have had two weeks to game plan for them.
My keys to this game will be the health of the four players that I just mentioned and the ability fo our defense to force turnovers. We will need to win the turnover battel in order to win this game. Period!!!
This is the first home game I'm missing as the family and I are in Disneyland, and man do I miss Chewbacca's grilling and all of the Tom-Foolery in the parking lot, but, this really is the happiest place on Earth, even in a Depression. So, if any of you make it to the Fox Sports Bar and Grill in the Disney Village, that is where I'll be.
Can I get an "OOOAAAKKLLLAAANNDDDD!!!!!"
Then A "RRAAAAIIDDDEERRSS!!!!"
Let's Open up a CAN of Whompum!! On these Fake Chiefs!!!
The Season starts TODAY!!!!
RRRAAAIIDDDEERRSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Raiders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DHB will have a huge day…
I’ve been boozing so forgive me with the prediction~
The foundational Western philosophical quote; "I think, therefore I am..." applies to everyone except Booby "the joke" Crozby
Heyward-Bey
He’s averaging less than one catch per game. A “huge day” for him would be about three grabs.

He’s benefiting from playing with such great weapons. The Broncos have four wide receivers better than any single one the Bears have.

Receivers
And the Bears have four receivers better than any one the Raiders have. Hell the water boy could catch better than DHB.

Chaz Schilens is better than any one receiver the Bears have, actually.

they're not getting anything.
i’m not saying to throw it 30 yrds deep every play, but plays they’re doing are 35% effective! they need to have russel pass at least 5-10 yard range, then, when needed, around 13-15 yards. challenge him. challenging someone makes them better.
Russell
He can’t throw it deeper. His range is within 10 yards, really. Throw it to Miller instead.

Can't challenge Russell
I don’t think he still has learned anymore plays. Remember they’re bringing him along slowly.LOL
So Russell either misses wide open receivers
Or the ball clangs off the hands of the running backs.
Ugh.
This offense lives in a vicious cycle. Russell doesn’t help his receivers, who in turn don’t help him and it just feeds on itself

Stanford is not going to the Rose Bowl. You can forget about that. You can’t pencil in Arizona over Oregon. Oregon’s offense is so dominant, I doubt Arizona can stop it. Besides, a two-loss Oregon State team trumps Stanford. Plus, Stanford still has to beat California. That’s not going to be easy.

I didn’t say they were bogus. I’m just saying that the odds of those things happening are very, very, very, very slim. For that to happen, a ton of stuff has to go down. Stanford has to beat California, Oregon has to lose to Arizona and then Oregon has to then turn around and beat an Oregon State team who will be 6-1 in their last seven games coming in. Arizona hasn’t even beaten anyone.

JLH has been awful since the first game where he got popped. Catch the ball or let it go, don’t let it bounce around and get deeper and then decide to pick it up.
@worldblee on Twitter.
Loved his reception earlier
where if he just falls to ris right he can probably pick up a first down but he was more concerned about the guy coming up to hit him. Mentally, he’s shot.
WTF, JLH? Jeeeeeeeeeeeez.

There's a ton of good CB's who are also good KR/PR coming out in the draft
Surely one of them will be fast enough for Al. I’m thinking specifically of Kyle Wilson from Boise State or Perrish Cox from Oklahoma State.

I ride Jamarcus pretty hard
but I was watching the Vikes earlier today and their WR’s actually make an effort to catch the ball. Wonder what it would be like to have a few decent WR’s.

I was amazed watching the Saints play on MNF a couple weeks ago at the borderline throws Drew Brees would make and how his receivers would go fight for the ball.

The Raiders should start a track team, that’s all they draft. What about Bolt for a first round pick. Fastest man in the world.
If it's possible to be a bust after half a season...

You have to get pressure on Cassel
He’s not mobile but if you give him time he can throw.
@worldblee on Twitter.
he actually is mobile
the kid can run pretty well if needed.
Yeah, announcers were just saying that
Somehow I have the impression from earlier when he was a little hobbled. Didn’t he have a knee injury?
@worldblee on Twitter.
nope
wait maybe earlier in this season, but i don’t think it was a VERY serious one. at least i don’t think it was.
If he can put weight on it no problem than it wasn’t a very serious one.
He got picked, sayeth Papa & Flores

I see Chambers
and think that there’s a guy who could have helped us but we have wasted space with Walker. Even if we did have him we may not play him anyway I guess.
wish we picked him up.
he would have been a great #2 next to schilens with murphy in the slot.
Could've had one if DHB didn't have granite chunks for hands

JR
he’s all about comfort. Chaz is his main man. DHB needs to learn to use his hands, not body to catch. It’s embarassing.
This is what happens when Al drafts track stars rather than football players

I hate it when douchebag announcers criticize the Raiders
and they’re totally right.

You want to get mad at them, but you can’t because you know they’re right

Russell
He started 3-for-3, but he’s 2-for-11 since. His targets have dropped about six of those and the other five have been bad passes.

Russell could always take up music when he busts out of the league
Suggested band title name: “The 3 and Outs”

competition to drop
who will drop the most
He played til he got paid
Now he really doesn’t give a crap. I’m convinced he’s one of the guys collecting a check.

Good luck with that
How much improvement has he shown this year? He’s the same guy he was when he started.
don't try arguing or convincing me
i’m waiting to see his his 4th year to decide.

Good luck with that. I was just making a point about this year. I think you’re a masochist!
Worse
He has regressed.

Passer Rating
Russell’s was higher during the last eight games of last season than Ryan’s and Flacco’s.

Now if you're a defensive player
do you go to the sidelines and tell your offense to get it done? I don’t know if our guys get in each others faces or try to pump each other up.
What's good
with all these damn flags???

ooooh

Because he's a moron

I bet Lechler could punt deep more accurately and consistently
than JR can throw it. Bet Shane would hit them in stride. Although JR has actually made two good deep throws this game.

It’s what Vince Young is about. He’s won his last seven starts and his team is 3-0 when he starts this season.

Asomugha
He’s been thrown to 11 times this season, as you saw on that graphic. The next closest guy to him has been thrown at 27 times and he’s been injured.

I really think he’ll be useless the rest of the season. He’s just mentally scrambled now in addition to whatever’s wrong with his shoulder

7 DROPS IN THE FIRST HALF!!!

I hope the Raiders were showing a Pee-Wee football DVD showing pass catching technique at halftime

Probably too advanced for DHB & Murphy at this point

Unless other facts emerge, the NFL is not expected to discipline Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable for the assault allegations that a former wife and girlfriend levied against him, a league source has said.
Schefter’s Blog
Keep up with Adam Schefter’s news and notes from around the NFL daily on his ESPN Insider blog. Schefter blog
However, the league has directed Cable into a clinical evaluation process to determine whether further action is necessary due to conditions such as anger management or substance abuse.
Historically, the NFL has not disciplined people when law enforcement has studied the incident and determined there is not enough evidence to proceed with the case. In the case of the alleged assaults against women previously in his life, no charges were filed against Cable, nor were any civil cases brought against him.
What’s notable about this is that legal experts said California is protective of its complaining witnesses and has an extremely low tolerance level for domestic abuse.
The league has investigated the incidents involving Cable and will continue to do so. But it sounded as if a chapter of a book was about to be closed.
Surprise surprise

Second Half Starts Like The First...
Like Raider Way has pointed out, there will be NO excuses this week. NONE!
Chaz, McFadden, Green and GALLERY will be back, so the INJURY excuse will be GONE!!!
You are right, there were no excuses today, and they STILL lost to a bunch of bums.
We are playing a Division Rival, so the intensity should be there.
It wasn’t. No surprise.
We have had two weeks to game plan for them.
…and it didn’t help. A year wouldn’t have helped, either.
This is the first home game I’m missing….
You have got to be kidding me. You still pay all that money to go to the games, even though you know they are going to stink? Why? All you do is help to keep things the way that they are. As long as fans keep buying tickets, the Raiders will feel no motivation to change anything.
Let’s Open up a CAN of Whompum!! On these Fake Chiefs!!!
If the Chiefs are fake, then what are we? They beat us.
The Season starts TODAY!!!!
…and it ended, too. So much for the prediction from one player who said they would go 8-0 in the second half. Please tell me that you didn’t think the same thing yourself?
Just wanted to say thank you Coach Cable...
For starting Jamarcuss and giving my Chiefs a chance to win yesterday. Let’s face it both of our teams suck! See you next year Raider Fan.
