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.

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

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.

How can JR make those plays at LSU

and forget how to throw? I saw a 9 minutes highlight clip on NFL station, he looked like the second coming.

NFL is a faster game

Can’t rely on sheer physicality to get it done

Plus, Dwayne Bowe and Early Doucet could catch just about everything thrown their way.

Environment

It’s easier to play in college. He had better weapons in college. He had a better coaching staff. He played in a better system.

Miller

I’m glad I started him over Heap in fantasy football; however, I still would be getting the blowout win.

he made the simple throws at LSU but he’s nowhere near any receivers with the Raiders

HUGE touchdown

Gotta hold the Bengals to no more points before the half

We got ourselvs a game if we can make it 14-10 or 14-14 after the first drive of the 2nd half.

Gradkowski on the bench looking at photos w/ coaches

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.

Russell is sitting beside them and looks like he couldn’t give a shit less.

Know what else?

I think Frye was there too, studying with Grads.

If Gradkowski gets hurt this game, Cable had better activate Frye.

Fox

In their pregame show, they asked if JaMarcus Russell was done in one of their segments. The problem was that they spelled it “Russel” instead of “Russell” and I found that hilarious. I don’t know. I’m a little weird, I guess.

The important thing is the momentum we got those last 5 minutes by looking like an actual team

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.

that one carry was for 5 freaking yards. Why is he not getting more fucking carries? it’s an outrage

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.
