The one thing about the Raider defense
Poor tackling. No matter the personnel or co-ordinator….I’ll never get it.
"'Tis a bird I love, with its brooding note, And the trembling throb in its mottled throat; There's a human look in its swelling breast, And the gentle curve of its lowly crest; And I often stop with the fear I feel-- He runs so close to the rapid wheel." Nathaniel Parker Willis, "The Belfrey Pigeon"
I think tackling comes down to effort
Which probably tells the story right there.

D is doing good except on 3rd down and long
Where we’re giving it away in bunches.
@worldblee on Twitter.
How do you give up a 3rd and 20?
That’s rhetorical by the way.

Pathetic defensive effort so far
Forget if Gradkowski can help the offense or not, what the hell happened to the defense?

Palmer has time to eat a 5 course meal back there
And then he’s just playing pitch and catch

Any time we have a guy close to him
Our defender is falling down from tripping over someone.

Sort of a Russellesque throw by Grads
Overthrowing a wide open Louis Murphy.

Hate to say it, but Tyvon is not having a good game
Nnamdi’s shutting his man down (of course) but no one else can cover shit apparently.

Wow, so much for Gradkowski the savior

Thi team is way too comfortable losing.
It sucks cause everything you read about them they accept losing, and if you accept losing you’ll never win.

By the way, JaMarcus...
….NBC showed a shot of Palmer on the sidelines studying pictures with the coaching staff despite being thoroughly in control of this game
Not doing stuff like that is why you were benched.

Watched Crabtree make some great catches against the Packers today.
Apparently, some rookie wideouts can actually catch the ball.
Only on the third down on the first series
And then he had pressure and the receiver had two defenders so I think he played it safe.

If we can't move Kirk from MLB, we have to let him go

it's ok for us to score before the half.
no rules against.

He only plays mike because he has the most Raider Pride on that damn team..Hes a natural OLB. But hes not ment to be in the middle

JR sits next to them, staring straight ahead. That’s why he was better in college than in the pros. More complex game in the NFL, and at skill positions you have to study and work hard.

from the play by plays
gradkowski looks like a leader!!! it looks like the raiders offense has more swagger with gradkowski!

damn straight
let’s keep on controlling the clock, we’re within striking distance
Halftime Stats
- Gradkowski has completed 60 percent of his passes for 80 yards and a touchdown without a pick. Surely, no one can complain.
- Fargas, Bush and McFadden have carried it a combined five times, but they have 30 yards despite the low carry number.
- Branch has eight solo tackles and a sack.

Bush only one carry
that one carry was for 5 freaking yards. Why is he not getting more fucking carries? it’s an outrage
Evey- "Are you a crazy person?"
V- "I'm quite sure they'll say so."

Running Backs
All three of them have a great yards per carry average, but they haven’t carried it enough to matter. They should definitely get more touches in the second half.
