Raiders Post Game Poll: Turning the Corner?

Until they’ve shown they can carry the momentum. I don’t want to vote in one of the negative options after a great win, but the team still has to show they can win back to back. Good performance, now go do it again!

No change because what has been typically happening to the Raiders is everytime they get a big win, the next game, albeit home or against a scrub team that they should beat, they come out flat and get blown out or loose close. We are playing the 49ers next who beat us in the preseason and should have won their last two games.

and were especially creative with personnel arraignments . The team integration and sustained focus prove we have evolved.

It is 1 win and not much may change but it was against the Chargers, it ended the streak and it put as at 1-0 in the division. However this needs to keep up. I don’t remember seeing a game where we had a safety, two blocked punts and got two return touchdowns. Also Loper doing a great holy roller impersonation was incredible. The offense played the best game I’ve seen out of them collectively in years. Bush played his best all-around game ever (pass-protection, rushing, receiving.)
I was worried when Campbell came back out but this guy really showed a lot. Also Hue Jackson called his best half of football since he’s been here. The team did not abandon the run and made some good calls after the 4th and 2 failure.
Also Marshall should be given some credit but of course when a QB throws for nearly 300 yards against you and you get no pressure whatsoever it’s obvious you should bring the blitz. The Jets don’t have a big pass rush guy but they manage to apply pressure. After losing 38-0 last year you would think Al would figure this out and copy it. To all the coaches, please keep it up next week against a Niner team that is desperate for a win.

I’m really psyched by this win, but we have some things we need to fix on D. We got the big turnovers in the redzone, but giving up that many passing yards, when it’s supposed to be a strength is terrible.

What’s the prognosis on Bruce?

Of all the plays that were made by the Raiders yesterday the one that stood out was “The Loper roll”. When I saw that heads up, extra effort performance I came out of my seat in disbelief. It’s been years since I’ve seen an effort like this out of a Raider team. The fuckers just flat out WANTED it. The offense still seemed half asleep at times (albeit against a good D in a big game) and I’ll agree with Sons that overall the playcalling of the coaching staff was good,especially on the defensive and special teams side. the Chargers had special teams problems coming into the game and our Coaches exploited them. The Niner game will be the true test as to how bad both these teams want it. The both may be playing for their respective Coaches jobs. This was the first game of the season I have been home and not in my pickup truck in the middle of WY. That meant I could finally get shitfaced for a Raider game,and it couldn’t have come at a better time ,or against a better team. R.F.F.R.

I was in North Dakota for 10 days and one of the “Company Men” (a die hard Raider fan) gave me this receipe for “RAIDER ROOT BEER”. 20 cups of water. 6 cups of sugar. 2 tablespoons of root beer EXTRACT (concentrate will work) and a FIFTH of Everclear grain alcohol. Put water in large pot -heat till it ‘s just ready to boil (do NOT let it boil) stir in sugar thoroughly until water appears clear TAKE OFF BURNER and lt it cool for 1/2 hr . Add root beer extract or concentrate. Let cool for 20-30 min. more. When mixture is still warm add Everclear grain alcohol – stir it in , and "bottle it " in pint mason canning jars (a case of 12 will cost you $8 at K mart or Wal mart. Let them sit for at LEAST a week and then go for it. You will NOT taste the alcohol but it’s there as you will quickly find out. Make KICK ASS big boy rootbeer floats and awesome Sno-cones , as well as being enjoyed on the rocks. Takes 15 minutes to make , 45 min to cool and bottle and you use 1 pan so the old lady can’t bitch about the mess. Go light with this stuff or it will kick your asses Brothers. you can do other flavors like Orange,banana rasberry or lemon. This will be right up NOONTIDE’s alley , for sure!

I wouldn’t know if they’ve done it previous drives, but on the last drive, they were playing 3-4. I think they were playing 3-4 in this game as well.

Also, love how Tyvon outran Sproles for that TD. :)

They proved that they could play as a team,they proved that they still had fight in them,they proved that they could come from be hind and they proved that they could win the close one.now they have one ting left to prove,they must prove that they can dominate a game from start to finish.

The niners have shown that they have some fight in them,they nearly won against the St’s and last night against the Eagles.they where being dominated in both games,but where able to fight back and make it close.

I see this weekends upcoming game as going one of three way’s.either the Raiders will come out and destroy the Niners from start to finish,The niners will have had enough and come out breathing fire,giving the Raiders a sound thrashing or The Raiders control the game for the first 2 1/2 quarters,but let the niners make it another close loss.

My expectations haven’t really changed after the win and still see a 7-9 team. Had they lost this game, I might have graded us down, but I saw this team compete in a way that makes me hopefull we’ll still be contending late into the season. Much like the Niners, our season may well depend on how the next game shakes out. Gotta win on the road against a struggling team. Must win consecutive games at some point. Great win, loved the pressure at the end by the D. No matter how much they were beaten throughout the day, with their backs against the wall with less than 2 mins left they came up huge and made the play to win the game. Offense came around to play well enough, still needs improvement, but we can see that we’ve got 2 backs capable of getting over the 100 mark. Now if we can just freaking pass block we might have something. Go Raiders!

this game doesnt mean nothing if we cant back it up with another division win. i wouldnt look past SF either… but the next month is so is huge with every other weeks a divisional opponent. ill be at the niner game too so i hope we win this thing but if we do win, it doesnt matter cause we cant lose to KC and Denver… good team win yesterday, gotta get better in all aspects.

have we turned the corner and going full bore? no, are we a better team then most recent years? yes. now is time to prove it

1 game at a time

will we rise to the occasion ? i think we can. as a matter of fact inside my cold silver and black heart i know we will and btw smith/carr whoever isnt phillip (cry me a) rivers so that 400 yd bullshit isnt happening this week its the battle of the bay and were gonna stomp those gayboy whiners in thier own back yard!!!!!!!!!

I mean, I know I hit vote button twice by mistake, but are some of you stuffing the ballot, or do we really have that many people logging in?

What’s the bigger rivalry? I’d been looking forward to this Niners game for months, but beating them won’t top what happened yesterday, no matter how much I loathe Niner fans. Nothing will top yesterday’s game unless we beat them worse next time.

I would expect it will be the same for them. Are they more worried about beating us than their divisional rivals? Seattle was their most crucial game thus far, and they’ve got an improved Rams team coming up. For a team that was predicted to win their division, those hopes are largely destroyed now.

But do you guys think this team is running high in emotions? Cause I hope not. Emotional win can lead into disappointing trap games like this one coming up.

I’m tellin you, field, the crowd was rocking like we clinched the west… No, but really, you had to have been there up feel that monkey lift up off the thousands of people!!!

I don’t know how many people I high fived?!?! I feel sorry for the folks I hi dived cause I got a cast on!!! And I was swing for the fences… Lol

Great game… Let’s keep the momentum and play like champions.
