After Game Thoughts

The Raiders played their hearts out today. They played a tough, yet beatable team today in the Dallas Cowboys. I knew not to get my hopes up, but after last week I couldnt help but to think we were gonna win. This wasnt a total loss though. There were many good signs. Here are some things I noticed during the game day. Some made me laugh and others gave me hope.
Thought on the Raiders
1) Bruce Gradkowski doesnt give up. He tried his harest on every play, and he didnt make any costly decisions. He does not do well under pressure though, when he is rushed, he doesn't provide the best passes. With good protection he only has room to grow. He had a mediocre performance today. But, I think he threw to Chaz too much.
2) We cant really blame JaMarcus's poor play on the recievers poor play anymore. I always said from the beginning that the WR is only as good as his QB. And today Bruce found Louis Murphy and Darrius Heyward-Bey numerous times. Proving Jamarucs Russel is truley incompetent.
3) Zach Miller is a Pro Bowl caliber TE. I already knew this, but todays perfomance really highlited it for me. He is a great and sadly underated TE. He made play after play for Oakland today, if he was thrown to 5-6 more times a game, hed have 5-6 more catches a game. He has hands like glue.
Thoughts on the Cowboys
1) Tony Romo is a pretty good QB. I always thought he was just a mediocre QB hiding behand a stellar line. But today he pretty much embarassed Oakland. I still love the fact his last name ryhmes with homo though.
2) Miles Austin is the future of Dallas. This kid is a flat out beast. He runs pin point routes and has great hands. I expect to see him in many Pro Bowls
3) Jay Ratliff is a total fag. I could not help to notice after every tackle, even if he wasnt invlolved. He took full credit for it by doing some douchey fack kickoff thing. I dont know if thats something important in Dallas but it annoyed the hell out of me. The dude does have imense talent though.
4) Phill Sims is in love with Demarcus Ware. Yes, I know, he is probably the best OLB in the game, but every time Oakland did something wrong, Phill gave Demarcus credit for it. Like if we had an incomplete pass, Phill would be like " Oh, Well Bruce is probably just afraid that Demarcus was behind him, making him miss Murphy" It got rather annoying hearing that after every play while Demarcus is away from the play next to Ratliff as hes doing some Kicking thing and acting like he got the tackle.
Those are just my thoughts though. It was a good game untill the second quarter rolled around. I still see this as a good sign because Bruce showed some good things. I cant wait untill Week 16 when we play the Browns. But, Pittsburg is next week. Oakland better be ready to play cause that will be a hard nose game. Some may not know but Oakland and Pittsburg are Rivals. Cant wait.

nice post
i love the shit talking about the cowboys.
next week is gonna be tough against the steelers.
if it starts to go bad, i wana see willie brown go out and teach these new kids how to beat the steelers
I was rooting for the Raiders today
What I noticed was that Gradkowski made a lot of throws in the first half that hit the receivers in such bad places as the hands, the bread basket, etc. If the WR’s catch half of the ones they are supposed to, the Cowboys don’t get a big lead, and don’t get to pin their ears back and blitz on every play.
Steelers will be tough. Their only weakness is special teams, they give up a return for a TD, every week. Anyway, good luck against the SB Champs, sorry about today!
"The way this works is you string together some good games, some good practices and you get momentum and you gain confidence," linebacker Mike Vrabel said. "It can be a real positive for your team. It builds on itself."
Looks like it's gonna be
“Big Burger Ben”. We can’t play ketchup on Heinz Field. haha
Wake me up if we win
AP said that
It was hilarious but seriously we need to be great on SP so this can be JLH’s breakout game he was a tiny bit more better today.
Wake me up if we win
Jay Ratliff is a total fag
+1,000,000 for this. Also I didn’t think the problem was he through to Schillens too much, but that he had too many shitty throws to schillens.
I like Grad. I think the team has a much better chance of with him over JaLoser, but really…he is a bottom third NFL starter. His accuracy is not where it needs to be.
Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast.
Homophobic Comments
Jay Ratliff is a total fag.
There’s no need for homophobic comments, man. You could have used “lame” instead.

Sorry
I dont have anything against gays or anything. In fact I totally support gays. I just feel that Jay was being “lame”.
U know what man
Jay is Jay he can do whatever he never disrespected anyone just celebrated whether he made the tackle or not is irrlevant. It’s like your complaining about the Raiders sidelines when DHB made that TD. My main points is as long as he didn’t diss anyone it’s OK.
Wake me up if we win
Do you have a problem?
Ive read all your comments so far and your ripping on my thoughts and kissing RRS ass. People have used much more vulgar language on here and I dont see you jumping on their ass. Just mind your own and stick up for your own team for once hater.
Yeah I do have a problem with using slurs on people
I think it’s worse than using curse words.
I’ve actually have liked most of what you’ve written and I think you can do better than using slurs that are offensive Remix that’s was all I was trying to say.
That's all we ask.
Try to keep it clean especially in posts. Comments can get out of control sometimes, but to make a slur like that in a post is bad. It can be legally bad for teh blog too if things got really out of control.
Win, Lose, or Tie, Raiders til I die!
He disrespected Oakland
After he completed his pointless celebration dance, he’d try his best to walk through our players on his way back to his huddle. And the Sideline thing is way different, Oaklands sideline was thinking " Wooot!!, Im so glad Darrius finally got his first TD..Good For Him"…All that is running through Jay’s mind is “YEAH!! Jay is a beast!..Cameras on me!!, Im so amazing! I am a definite Hall Of Famer”..Theres a differnece between cheering for a teammate and doing a dance like you make evey play possible.
Relax
Ratliff made a play and he celebrated. I didn’t see anything wrong with it. He didn’t disrespect anybody. He was just overjoyed.

RIght.
If we did that cowboy fans would say the same about us.

On to important things....
The game was tough to watch, and just like you, I had some hope that this was a game the Raiders could win. I have to say, again mind you I live in Denver, hearing Sims work overtime to metaphoricly blow the Cowboys was annoying, and all I could think of was “Would you talk this much shit about your son- he’s 10 times worse than any of the Raider’s QB’s”. However, now that most of the Nation know’s how much Chris Sims sucks, he will likely not be playing pro ball anymore.
I don't think he got a fair deal
when he got hurt Gruden demoted him and since then he never got enough reps. I don’t know. I think he could be a sleeper QB if given a good team and patience.
Win, Lose, or Tie, Raiders til I die!
He had a week to prepare;
for Denver’s game last week and it was pathetic. Yes it was the Chargers, but looking at the way he played you’d think he never stepped on a live field. I can’t see him doing well on any team. Anyway, I just think that Sim’s works really hard to kiss the ass of the favorite team and it’s just annoying from someone who’s at least supposed to show a little lack of bias.

Is there any reason
you can’t hit a the ‘m’ twice when you type his name?
I’d like to see Simms stick with 1 team for a year and get some reps then make a judgment.
Win, Lose, or Tie, Raiders til I die!
No- other than my own ignorance;
sorry about that. I know what you’re saying about him, but I just never say anything in him other than college (kind of like others we talk about on here).
The Cowboys were holding all day
The refs let most of it go and it affected the3 way we played in the second half. This crap calling us for 10,11,12 penaltys one week and the next allow a sloppy game the next is unacceptable. It seems we always have to play two teams our opponent and the refs. They probably would allow Pete Rose to become a ref, but Rose would probably be the first ref to get thrown out of a game.
Also, our O-line was exposed in the second half. Gradowsky barly had time to set his feet and the Cowboys were in his face with there four man rush.
