At long last and finally it is here! Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!! Let's go Raiders and snap the losing streak against San Diego. Tom Cable will unveil the new Oakland Raiders tonight for all the nation to see. Let's have a look now at what we should expect to see tonight.
Raiders on offense:
It's all going to start with JaMarcus Russell as he is going to have to manage the game and protect the football well in order for the Raiders to prevail. The Raiders made the expected decision to start Darren McFadden for the season opener. His versatility running and catching the football and explosiveness adds more to the offense than what Fargas could. As certainly the plan will be to run the ball and with Fargas still questionable, both Bush and Rankin will provide plenty of freshness and change-of-pace.
Tom Cable has stated though that McFadden would carry the ‘bulk’ of the load tonight.
The big concern on offense will be that without Russell's new favorite target, Chaz Schillens and no veteran presence in Javon Walker, the Raiders will be relying on two rookie wide receivers, Heyward-Bey and Louis Murphy. Higgins will help out in the slot and thankfully last years favorite target of Russell, Zach Miller will playing.
If the Raiders are going to have any chance at pulling off an upset, they are going to have to execute virtually mistake-free football on the offense and not give San Diego any extra opportunities. They are going to have to run the ball effectively and Russell will have to make the throws when needed.
Raiders on defense:
DE/DT Richard Seymour will be playing, so that's an automatic and instant impact for the defense. Regardless,the Chargers will no doubt test the Raiders run defense early and often.
The John Marshall era officially begins. The Seymour impact should allow the Raiders linebackers to be more free and available to blitz as Marshall has promised. Marshall has stressed the fundamentals, so not blowing assignments and making the sure tackles are mandatory.
Cable said at the press conference with Seymour that he has seen some positives in recent games versus the Chargers, commenting, "When you look back at those games we were able to stay in, keep the defense off the field, keep them fresher if you will. And I thought we played with a little more intensity and violence on defense. I’ve gone back and looked at those so I can understand what he’s getting at."
Also, Silver and Black Pride member and new starting strong safety, Tyvon Branch draws the tough assignment of defensing Chargers TE Antonio Gates. Neutralizing Gates will go a long way towards the Raiders prevailing tonight.
Chargers on offense:
LaDainian Tomlinson is 30 years old, but he has personally tormented the Raiders throughout his career. Despite Tomlinson’s struggles in 2008, he torched the Raiders for 197 rushing yards in two meetings and the Chargers continued their recent dominance extending their streak of wins to 11-games against Oakland.
Unless all the new changes to the Raiders defense materialize, Tomlinson and Darren Sproles will present a lot of match-up problems for the Raiders especially with their ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, which the Chargers rely on frequently.
Chargers on defense:
Shawne Merriman was not even named one of the Chargers six captains, which shows how much he has fallen out of favor in San Diego. Nevertheless, Merriman is hoping for a return to his 2007 form prior to his major knee injury. If he does, then it may be a long night for Oakland.
Larry English will spell Merriman at times and inside linebacker Kevin Burnett will start opposite Stephen Cooper.
San Diego will try to force the Raiders into long down and distance situations early in the game to rattle and pressure JaMarcus Russell into mistakes. If the offense scores early and often and the defense are playing in front all day, the Raiders offensive line will get a heavy dose of blitzes.
Key Match-ups:
- Center Chris Morris vs NT Jamal Williams
- Rookie wide receivers Heyward-Bey and Louis Murphy vs Chargers secondary
- Antonio Gates vs Tyvon Branch
Game notes and not-so-fun facts:
- The Raiders have been outscored 104-35 in their last three regular season openers. In their last three Monday night games, the Raiders have been trounced by the Chargers 27-0, Seattle 16-0 and the Broncos 41-14.
- Unfortunately, exciting rookie and UDFA, Nick Miller has shin splints and will not make his Raiders debut as the kick returner. Louis Rankin is expected to take his place.
Enjoy the Nation! GO R-A-I-D-E-R-S!!!!!

gotta man up
against the run. last year in the first meeting, when we kept LT to low yards we were still in that game but 4th quarter came around and we got sloppy and the cat got outa the bag… so keep LT limited and no BIG plays and we kick a field goal to win the game. 21-24.
i really think louis murphy is gonna blow up today fellas so keep an eye on him. also if the preseason trend keeps up where they constantly double team DHB then look for miller and myers to have big days underneath and making yards after the catch. also w/ dmc runnin the rock i see some motions out to the slot and tryin to make some mismatches on the perimeter…. lets get er done!!!
No better time than now
If the raiders are gonna do it what better time than now. What better time than monday night football, what better team than the division champs chargers. What better stage of their rebuilding process. Since Rich Gannon went down the Raiders have just been in turmoil. So now its six years later and almost that many coach’s too. For the first time I feel pretty good going into this year. I think russell is really starting to turn it up. Its a shame Schillins is out but I like what I see from murphy. And having Bey on the other side should get Miller more passes his way. I know our running game is our strong point but I believe we need to go out tonight and get the pass going right away. If we can pass successfully right away our running game can do damage later on. I believe with a growing offence our d needs to step up like never before. So i am putting this game on our d, they need to keep us in the game because with the talent we have on offence it will get going. We got the team, we got the stage, its time for the Raiders to start becoming the Raiders of new. GO RAIDERS!!!!!
Go Silver and Black!
Beat the damn Bolts for once…i am hoping we are at least very competitive tonight and prove the haters wrong…Go Raidersssssssssssss
we seem to have gotten over that HURDLE
"TuLoRocks2008 had the most comments I've seen in any game thread this year (322)...Can such a feat be eclipsed?" ..... Bring it on!!
Anyone else go to the Raider Image yesterday in San Leandro?
DHB and Javon Walker were there signing autographs… they were nice as hell. I talked to DHB for a little and I’m very excited we drafted a well spoken individual with no character issues…
And I got a couple of footballs signed too!
Please end this Monday Night Curse!!!
Raaaaaaaaiiiii-ddddddddderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrssssss!!!! Let’s go Nation!!!

It's all about the run
We have to run the ball and manage the clock, similarily we can’t let them do the same thing. We have to be more physical and disciplined in this game to have any chance.
Just HIT somebody.
No doubt
The Raiders must establish the run. This will slow down the blitz and open up things in the passing game. I would also like to see three or four big screen passes to McFadden.
Wherever I go, that's where I am.

i'm looking for how are defense will be doing
i’m pretty confident about our offense considering the fact that it seemed that russell is more in tuned with the offense, and unless we commit a lot of penalties, we should be fine.
LET'S DO THIS!
I haven’t been this stoked for Monday for a long time.
5 hours away…
THIS begins our climb back to the top. TONIGHT begins our redemption. When this game is over, the league WILL RESPECT US AGAIN.
I never get to watch the Raiders living out here on the East Coast, so I won’t be able to participate in the gameday open thread. Hold down the fort for me.
JaMarcus and Darren McFadden must begin the rise to greatness tonight.
RAIDERS BUMAYE!
is seymour ready?
can seymour be an impact for tonite!i hope so because if he can stop the run and get the qb then i offense must run and pass and score! then the raiderswin!

Seymour will make an impact
However you look at it Seymour will make an impact. Im sure he wont be as effective as he could be if given the time to work with the d line but lets face it he is a beast! He has a strong motor and knows how to play the game, he should plug in just fine. Even if his impact on the field is minimal lets not forget that his presence has changed the chargers game plan. I feel rivers gets flustered after being sacked a couple times so go get him seymour!!!! GO RAIDERS!!!!!!
offense rusty
defense getting used to playing 4-3 more often now. hope we do better next drive.(if your talking about the pats game).
Damn, the A’s are also on.

The refs aren’t current refs who are wearing throwback jerseys. They’re actually referees from the old AFL days who magically transported to current day. The head ref was so shocked he was watching a color replay of the previous play he made the wrong call.

Well, we lost the turnover margin. With that said, I’d normally take a 10-10 tie going into the half; however, in light of what happened, we should at least have a 14-10 lead or a 10-7 lead. We would have a 10-7 lead had our special teams actually been able to stop Darren Sproles at his own 35 or so. It’s not that much to ask. Now, it’s a 10-10 game, the Chargers scored last and they’ll get the ball first. With that said, we’re right were we began.

Im still trying to figure out how that TD got overturned.
I mean…. seriously? How was that not a catch? I mean he had 2 feet down… a knee… an elbow…. Im fucking stunned.

I can't believe the refs took away that TD
It kinda sucks going into half to be tied after the way the Raiders dominated that half, but on the good side they should be wearing down the Charger D and they just dominated the half!
Wherever I go, that's where I am.
14 first downs to the Chargers' 6
Yet the game is still tied. Of course, despite the call we still should have had another score on JR’s first pick.

The worst thing about that call and the tuck call...
both had to be so clear that they overturned the call made on the field.

Pats fan here D:
Hi, I just want to say that I’m liking the Raiders D right now. They’re leaving Rivers scared out of his wits. Now say thank you to Mr. Belicheck like good boys and girls for giving you Richard Seymour! ; )
The offense? They’re finally moving this drive. That play by the Raiders was simply genius. The reverse, Jamarcus Russell using his LB body to block, wow.
I didn’t think the Raiders had it in them, but they’re looking real good. I think they’ll win this game.
Dobbins hardly swiped him.

Minutes later, Troy caught the ocean going over the middle and smacked it right in the mouth. The ocean fumbled, Troy recovered and ran it into the endzone. The ocean never messed with Troy again.

To some extent
But, the refs were not playing defense on that last drive.

No but they took 4 points from us.

I dont think we be as lucky as Denver here.

...to the opposing team.
Yeah. I guess I knew that.
Fucking cock tease Raiders.

stupid shit
russell, unless you do great the next game, i’ll be loosing faith in u.
0-1
But not as bad as we feared. But would have been so nice to beat the Bolts after 11 losses in a row. Now it’s 12.
@worldblee on Twitter.
we'll be more ready next time we face them.
now i’m off to bed!
Got away from the run
and that over turned play killed us, I liked what I saw from the D but Jamarcus has got to be more accurate
that is just unfair
we so deserved to win that game. A lot of positives though. I think our D got tired if we can make first downs and give the d a rest we will be fine.
We made it clear we will win games this year

You guys put up a valiant effort
Kudos to you guys, it was a well fought battle, you guys dominated but came up short in the end, but you guys played good football
This is Pittsburgh Steeler Troy Polamalu getting knocked around by the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii yesterday...
Minutes later, Troy caught the ocean going over the middle and smacked it right in the mouth. The ocean fumbled, Troy recovered and ran it into the endzone. The ocean never messed with Troy again.
We lost that game in the final 2:16 and on that 89-yard drive. We were beat by the dinky little short routes and we did nothing to stop it.

Exactly
After playing dominating defense all game long, they let them just walk down the field.

If the offense could get them a few more first downs the D wouldn't have to play such killer man-to-man

We should have played man-to-man on the final drive so at least Sproles would have been defended. He caught everything short and turned it into a big play because there was nobody close to him.

True
Man-to-man is pretty damn hard to play when you’ve been on the field for so long however.

I think the Lines got tired
We stopped gettin Linemen to pressure the qb so rivers had more time. If you dont get pressure on the quarterback especially a good one your db’s cant cover man to man forever.
And we couldnt run the ball in the second half

3 man rush
No blitzing when we had them on the ropes with their makeshift line. If this is Al’s defense, he had better come out of his coma and turn a few guys loose once in a while or we’ll see more of the same results.
unfreakin believeable
we can not catch an effin break against the damn Chargers…but oh well if we play like this all year…we are going to be in the playoff race
we seem to have gotten over that HURDLE
"TuLoRocks2008 had the most comments I've seen in any game thread this year (322)...Can such a feat be eclipsed?" ..... Bring it on!!
In my mind, this loss was worse than getting blown out.
What do you tell the team when you outplay the Chargers almost the whole game and still lose. There will be a lot of doubt in the Raider’s minds. I hope I am wrong, but we will find out next game. It will be interesting to see how they learn or react from this game. We had that one though. I am so pissed.
And Phillip Rivers is a real douche.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I totally disagree
we are a really young team and some of those young guys looked great especially on Defence and we were playing a veteran playoff team.
They were flat after the TD was disallowed but the fought back and went toe to toe with one of the superbowl favourites.
We get Schillens back soon hopefully next week and we saw the connection he has with Russell in pre-saeson which will mean more first downs the d wont be gassed at the end of the games.
and Rivers is a bit of a Douche

I understand the pessimism, but I am pumped up about the team right now!
We just took a team favored for the Superbowl to the limit. A few moves and calls aside, this should’ve been our game.
I would rather see it this way than when they had the Monday Night game against the Dolts a few years back and we were getting it handed to us sideways.
We have the ability to play the best using sound fundamental football, which we haven’t seen in Oakland for YEARS!
We should not be feeling bad in Oakland — they should be feeling scared in San Diego! Their window is closing while ours looks to be opening up. Our lines were better, we stopped the run and we came up short.
It’s like another slugfest I remember.
Let Apollo have his night — I feel like Rocky is going to come back and club the shit out of him.
Rivers now has a huge ass target on his back for Seymour to level!
and Rivers is a huge package of Douche!

How is it that you catch the ball in the end zone:
Both feet are on the ground, then you fall down, without losing posession of the ball and it is not a catch?

And what pissed me off the most was there explanation for the ruling.
They said he did not have possesion while he was going to the ground! I don’t think that can even be questioned the ball did not start to come loose until he hit the ground.

Just finished watching the game
I was at school so I had to watch the recording, but damn did we play!
Also, JR killed us. Way too inaccurate.
Just HIT somebody.
He was way to inaccurate and we still should have won.
He was accurate in crunch time. I will give him that the pass that Higgins got nailed on and dropped was a thing of beauty.
