Oakland Raider News And Notes: We FINALLY Have A Football Season
At long last, Oakland Raider fans, we have a football season. As it sits today, the Oakland Raiders are 2-3, should be 3-2, and are looking directly across the Bay at a 49er team that knows a loss on Sunday will destroy their franchise. Why would it destroy their franchise?
Because being 0-6 with a home loss to Al Davis, who does NOT tolerate losing to the 49ers, and the Oakland Raiders will shift the media attention in the Bay Area from the "Darling" 49ers and their Head Coach, "Mike The Mouth", who said he "Wants Winners" and who spelled "Physical" with an "F", to the cross town Raiders.
I also know that the water cooler will be a much more comfortable environment for all Raider fans on Monday with a victory on Sunday.
The Raiders are on the precipice of regaining the Bay Area crown. In short, there is NO bigger game than the game this week. (I think that I've said that for the past two weeks and will say it all year) ((In fact, is any term more overused?))
A victory will have the Raiders at .500 in week 6 for the first time since Gruden was here and they will then have Denver, Seattle and Kansas City going into the Bye Week.
I'm feeling too good right now to point out what would happen if we lost, I just want to focus on a victory and being able to exclaim that the Raiders are BACK BABY!!!
Click on the jump to see the rest of my thoughts:
- Janikowski is back. He took his lessons from the Arizona game and has been on freaking fire ever since. I hope that the coaches see that and if we have a chance to kick a 50 yarder to take the lead in the 3rd Quarter this week instead of going for a 4th and 2 and a Half, they will let the Polish Cannon do his job.
- The Blitz is back baby!!! Nnamdi just pointed out that the Raiders blitzed 15 straight times against the Chargers to end the game. After years of us crying for the team to blitz, they finally did it. There is no way that the team would have won if they had played that soft zone at the end of the game.
- Special teams and defense will need to be as good as they were on Sunday if the Raiders are to win this Sunday.
- This 49er team is not as good against the run as they have been in years past (18th at 111 YPG), so I expect the Raiders to POUND THE BUSH and try and force the action against Alex Smith and Frank Gore.
- Conversely, the Raiders rank 31st against the run, so there will need to be HELL-MITTS on balls this Sunday in order for this team to win.
- Interestingly enough NFL.com says that the Raiders have only forced one rushing fumble this season. Forunately, that was on the Goal Line last week and is hopefully something to build off of.
- Good news is IF the Raiders need to air it out, the Niners are 21st against the pass this year. (Yet, Alex Smith and the OC get the heat when "Mister Fisical" has a bottom tiered defense)
- Don't look now, but, Zach Miller is tied for 14th in the NFL in receiving yardage with 340 (Tied with Brandon Marshall) and 15th in Receptions (28). Those are the 2nd best numbers for any TE in the NFL behind Antonio Gates.
- Did you know that even without our #1 receiver all season and playing musical quarterbacks the Raiders are improving as a passing offense? Last season they finished at 29th in the NFL with 159 yards a game and this season they are averaging 205 yards a game (Ahead of Favre and the Vikings).
- The Oakland Raiders Rushing offense is 7th in the NFL at 134.2 yards a game and a 4.4 yard average. Last season they finished 21st at 4.1 yards a carry and 106.3 yards a carry.
- The big question is where can this team improve the most. Without a doubt that would be in passes defended/intercepted and gap discipline. The Oakland Raiders are second to last in passes defended, second to last in interceptions and have given up the most runs over 20 yards and 40 yards. So, while we are all high on the San Diego win, let's stay grounded because good defensive teams don't fall into those categories.
How do you feel Nation? Let me know in this thread and we'll whoop it up until Sunday!!!

shawn merriman has been put on IR… he will be available once gets health in 4 weeks… i dont know if id like to see him in oakland
aka GOLDENBOYWARRIOR
If his feet and knees aren't shot (and vows never to dance on the field) he'd be nice to have around. But Scott stepped up his
game since going to OLB and I like Wimbley. So, we’d have to get a bargain for Merriman or pass on it b/c we have greater needs at WR, OT, etc.

Scott still looks out of position at OLB.
However I’m inclined to think Merriman probably not get to his original form.
by the red guy on Oct 13, 2010 11:37 AM PDT up reply actions
I was thinking
to pick up Merriman if they cut him but me thinks they will be very wary of letting him go and another AFC west team picking him to come back to haunt them. I will almost bet they will trade his ass for a 7th to just get him out of the division if not the conference. AJ Smith is such a dumbass puke I can’t believe a non owner GM like him has been given this much power and fucked it up sooooooooo bad without reprisal.

I am still cautiously optomistic about the rest of the season.
When our pass defense has allowed 10 touchdowns through the air and only has 2 interceptions, meanwhile the run defense is ranked 31/32 teams that is scary. This leaves them with no choice but to blitz early and often this week against SF. Our offense of course has improved which is why we are 2-3 instead of 0-5. The Oakland Raiders players and staff need to treat this just as big as last week against STD since we have to contain VD and crabs this Sunday.

Oh, the defense overall is borderline horrendous. The offense...not much better.
BUT….they are finding ways to win games. I don’t want to give credit for a game they didn’t earn, since they did in fact lose, but everyone on the planet knows they should be 3-2 right now.
Anyway. My point is, they are winning games and playing bad. If they can learn from the mistakes and what’s been working for them going forward, I still have hope for a non-losing season.

"Should be", my ass
There is no such animal as “should be”; there is only what is.
It could also be argued that ‘if this or that happened’, we “should be” 0-5.
Let’s just stop saying such crap, and stick to what is absolutely known: if we play better, we’ll do better.

Houston, was said to be 'very respected' by our front 7. Our Pass rush is prettydamn good if
steady. Ro is sound. Our safeties, when they a la mode in the scheme, are so fast, fastest secondary in the league, by far.

This game scares me a bit.
We still have a big milestone to overcome and that’s putting two wins in a row together. We couldn’t do it against a weak Arizona team that was quite literally trying to hand us the win. This time we’re coming off a very big and emotional win so the team is riding really high. I’m not too confident yet that this team can settle itself and play the game instead of shutting down and walking through it. Plus this time we’re going up against a 9ers team that most would agree are better than their record and are hungry for a win.
We should be able to beat them, but I’m real nervous.
Cable Bumaye! Raiders Bumaye!
I know you're thinking the worst will happen, the fact is reality says, we're 2-3, they're 0-5, cut the

Have to say, the 49ers suck, so far 0-5!!!!!! We’re 2-3, not great, not bad. Talent bullshit.
A team that executes, the most effectively, wins the game!!! Talent means bullshit, when you’re eye
to eye, you know, confrontation. It’s about Competition, it’s about being a Raider. That and only that has ever won Oakland/Los Angeles 3 Championships. That is what is more important.!!!!

So am I
The refs are gonna be pullin for the niners, their season is at stake, their owner has guaranteed the division title, and Vegas has them winning by 7.
To me, the only way in hell we win this game is to keep gore in check all 60 minute’s and create turnovers.
Don’t expect any fumble calls(Rivers) in this game!
My best hope is we jump on them early, put up 14 in the first quarter, and shut Gore down.
I predict 145 yards in penalty’s

We haven't won consecutive games since Houston and Tampa Bay.
We also haven’t had a lead at the half since week three and it should have been higher if not for shitty special teams coverage, red zone phobia, and overrated secondary believing their own hype. We need to come after the Niners aggressively early much like we did in the 1st quarter against SD but maintain blitz pressure and tight man to man coverage in the red zone. Also if there ever was a motivation game for an individual it would this game for Darrius Heyward-Bey. There still are fans believing we should have drafted Crabtree (not that it matters now but anyway) and Crabs himself believes he is better based on his hold-out last year. Heyward-Bey needs to be a big factor in this game in order to be assured of a win along with winning the turnover battle like last week. I don’t remember the last time we were +3-0 in the turnover game like last week.

totally agree about bringing the pressure
alex smith is much more derek anderson than matt schaub or philip rivers…. he needs to be rattled and he WILL turn it over. play a tight man coverage and he will throw a pick six. he tends to throw the short hot without bothering to check if the receivers are covered.
on darrius….. the battle with crabtree, im afraid, is lost. crabtree looks like he is a jackass but also a very polished future #1 receiver if he ever gets competent coaching. we have a party whenever darrius has a catch and with his lack of production he would not be sniffing the field if he hadn’t been al’s #1 pick. im afraid darrius is the 2k version of james jett but at least we took some shots with the jett. if darrius is going to play wtf is he doing out there? blocking specialist? why can’t someone so fast get open? sanjay? anyone? bueller?

I can't stress this enough: Zach Miller re-signing is priority #1 in the offseason
Zach was a find in the 2nd round, I didn’t think we’d have a chance to grab him. Like the great tight ends of lore, Casper, Christensen and Chester.
I’m not comparing Z to the ghost or Todd, yet. His career is on pace to be a great one, he’s already arrived, probably a top 5 TE, I put him above Finley from GB, cuz I think Zach has a more complete game.
Sign, sign, sign, I wouldn’t bark at 6/50 million, w/30 million guaranteed. He’s worth the cost.

We need to win this season in order to prove to him that re-signing is the best option.
If the team continues it’s streak of 11 loss season it’s going to be a hard sell that one of the best tight ends in the league should stick around.

Dude, we don't have consistency WR, Zach is an untouchable, he'll re-sign w/Raiders, I guarantee
it, he’s not going anywhere. He’s built chemistry with the players and front office, he’s the most humble TE out of the one’s Sons mentioned. Zach Miller is a Raider, plays like a Raider, acts like a Raider and will remain a Raider.

+1000 on the 4th and 2 call.

That was a different 4th down call. That was a great play call by the way.
The one we were referring to was midway through the 3rd quarter. Nick Miller had just returned it past mid-field and it was a 4th and 2. Cable decided to go for it and Bush ran behind Carlisle and came up short. I liked the call instead of a very makeable but also very missable field goal attempt.

The O-line and Hue, must remember that Campbell’s in the game, thus sustaining their blocks a little longer, and Hue calling the RIGHT PLAYS !!!!

I think you confuse playing it safe with playing smart
I’d much rather try to get the ball to Zach Miller and Bush than DHB and his whopping 1 career touchdown, and it looks like the quarterbacks realize this too. Forcing the ball to someone with very miniscule spurts of success at the expense of winning a game just to prove a point is why this team continues to fail. Being forcefed these busts at the expense of guys who can get the job done will continue to keep us down. I just want to win, and could care less about style points, egos, or media talking points.

Penalties go both ways, some for, some against
I generally take the view that playing smarter, harder, and better overcomes penalties, and that is something that we haven’t done in decades.
We were just as ‘lucky’ with the Holy Roller and the phantom roughing the passer as we were ‘unlucky’ with The Tuck. I can’t complain about ones that hurt if I don’t complain about the ones that helped.
IMO, anyway…
Failure builds character; success reveals it
It's more than that,
they have sabotaged our games on so many occasions by slapping us with penalty’s early and often. this changes momentum and makes us play with a handicap. I can’t tell you how many times the ref’s have sent us reeling back wards in the first quarter, and by the end of the first quarter we are down by 14,17, or 21 and our team is just shell-shocked. This has gotten a little better over the years, but until we gain respect as a quality team, we will still get put in our place.
"May the wind be at our back, here comes the Silver and Black "
Ah yes, the nebulous, unknown "they"
It isn’t ‘phantom calls’, they are generally called, like it or not, on actual infractions.
Perhaps if the team was more disciplined, they wouldn’t face this problem. Unfortunately, it has been a problem for decades. There was a time when the Raiders had the talent to overcome that type of self-inflicted handicap, but not now, not even close.
Every team gets penalized, but not every team has a front office that doesn’t give a crap about it.
Failure builds character; success reveals it
All I can say is this
IF our beloved Raiders play with the heart and fire that they showed in last weeks game they can win! if they dont SF willget their first win at our expense and we will be taking shit from 40whiner fans for the next year! If our boys in Silver and Black go to the stick and play like we are 0 – 5 and ready to kill for our first win then we can be 3 – 3 for the first time in way too long! it’s sad to be hoping and praying for a .500 season. but you have to walk before you can run and anything more than 5 wins is at least a moral victory, sort of. we want to win! if the players can get that in their heads and hearts and hold it there “Just Win Baby” can become a reality instead of a prayer!
"Just Win Baby" is not a philosophy, it is a way of life!
