Oakland Raiders Post Game Recap: I'm Actually NOT That Upset
by Raymond St. Martin (Saint) on Oct 17, 2010 6:12 PM PDT
Email
PrintThe quick hatred for all things Red and Gold, after watching the Oakland Raiderettes led by Jessica Campbell, quickly died into numbness after watching a game that I've seen all too often over the past eight seasons.
The Raiders were out-coached by a coach who threw a challenge flag on a judgement call and who's team lined up with twelve players one time and nine another.
The Raiders failed to get touchdown on any of their scoring chances, settling for 3 Field Goals against an 0-5 team who's home crowd was mercilessly booing their quarterback into oblivion.
Alex Smith, after being battered and bruised by the Raiders and his home fans all day, led a fruitful comeback with an attack aimed directly at our safeties who were once again destroyed in pass coverage when it mattered.
Michael Crabtree caught a touchdown, while Daruis Heyward-Bey dropped a first down reception on the final drive that ended on the following play when a rookie, Jacoby Ford, let a pass bounce off of his chest and into Takeo Spikes' awaiting bread basket.
Frank Gore ran what looked like the same play that Arian Foster turned into 74 yards and paydirt a couple of weeks ago for 64 yards on the deciding drive.
You see, it all looks the same.
Different team, same results.
The thing that does upset me a bit more this year is that our defense can be great. Unfortunately, their talents and effort are too often muted by a lackluster offense.
Jason Campbell went 3 and out 5 times in a row. After throwing his first pick he was absolutely a different quarterback, yet, there was no sign of Boller.
I would usually start ranting right now, but, I've seen it and said it ALL before. For 8 seasons I have been Blogging and writing the same story.
I am waiting for the first three game winning streak, or even a two game in Conference winning streak, before I start to get truly excited.
Until then, I will be excited about the possibilities and take the lumps with the rest of you.
Cheers on a tough loss,
Saint

Fuck this team
I said it again.
This is the game I wanted more than any other this year and the Raiders proved that they were the lame horse in a two-horse race.
When will it ever get better? The last time they were any good was when the player who’s name is on my jersey was still active.
Unfortunately I wear a Tim Brown Authentic.
I love this team, but it doesn’t love me back.
Fuck this team.
The RAIDER NATION is the ONLY NATION!!
Huh?
How can you say “F*** this team” and “I love this team” at the same time. Make up your mind and stick with it.
You can do both
It’s like getting beaten down and coming back for more. It’s a total love/hate relationship which we’ve all been going through for the last ten years.
So yeah, my mind is set on loving this team for my entire life and saying fuck this team for killing me slowly season after season.

for reals
This was really the ONLY game I wanted my team to for sure win this year. Especially with the 9ers showing their true colors this year as an inept and overrated football team. But what do we do? We don’t show up. Again. This was the most important game of the season for our Bay Area fan base, which is shrinking every week now. This was supposed to be the game where Bay Raider fans could finally say " you see, the Niners ain’t shit". So much for that. Even if they were to go 1-16 the entire year, 9er fans will get to say “well at least we beat the Raiders.”
Why does this team put so much responsibility on the safeties, yet put them out their in situations where they will almost certainly fail?! Get a big gain on the reverse, then we run it 3 times in a row?? Where was Kyle Boller when Campbell was not getting it down, and hobbling around with a limp? Almost no looks to your TE and he’s easily the Best player on your entire team??
This is just maddening stuff which I may never fully understand. Ever.
But bravo Raiders.
Many thanks to the entire coaching staff and Al Davis. Your play calls and personnel selections should make Monday morning around the water cooler oh so fun! Thanks for leaving your fans hanging, once again!

this team sucks
AFC west lost all of their games today, and we had the advantage of playing a team that was 0-5 but we lost,wow. i love this make it so easy to cheer on

this team is still the biggest joke

We do need a QB who can be consistent with us.
Campbell is not very consistent, and Grad is injury prone. I can’t believe Im saying this, but… I think trading for Vick might be a good idea. We trade for vick, and draft OL. idk. Someone please punch some sense into me.

1 thing I have learned , we can no longer say no to a upgrade cause we feel like we have someone good. We said no to Mike cause of JR and Grad. We said no to McNabb cause of JC and Grad . If there is an upgrade we take it. We said no to TO cause of DHB and Murphy.

We said no to TO because of his locker room antics(by the way, his locker room antics are starting now in Cincy I heard)
and because we had chaz. but mostly the locker room antics. we dont need a drama queen. Hell teach murphy bad things, and I want a good murphy.

I cant find anything, other than TO being fined 5,000$ for tweeting before a game.
But i DID thought I heard some sort of distress between him and palmer…. never mind what I said then. The bengals aren;t doing too well anyways. and palmer is a better QB than what we have now, with arguably a better OL.

Fuck the fucking raiders
This was by far the worst game to watch. At least with the Titans and the Texans, I knew we would get beat, but this game…..good god damn!! Campbell is no better then Russell was. He is good for 1 INT a game for sure and he has no idea how to hit any of the receivers. Which there are no good receivers! McFadden will never be healthy. Our defense completely sucks ass. That run Gore put on them was pathetic. There was no reason he should have broke out for that many yards.
I love the raiders to death and have been by this team’s side for the past 7 sucky years. But this is it. After today’s game I’m fucking done claiming the raiders.
sure does sound like your upset raymond saints or whatever ur name is lol
i know how u feel tho first ur upset then ur like fuck it im used to it
True
But let’s keep a positive attitude. We have improved in many areas and I think we will continue to improve overall as the season progresses. I could do without all this “F the Raiders” and “I’m done with the Raider” talk. If that’s true, then fine, leave. But don’t come back. If you can’t hang with the us 100%, even when it is painful to watch, then please don’t come back when we dig ourselves out of this hole. For those of us who have been long-time, loyal Raider fans, who have never disowned the Raiders even after horrible losses like this one, imagine how sweet it will be when we are back on top one day. That’s what I’m looking forward to! Hang tough!
Never disowned, but sick of this shit
When is this sweet day you’ve been forecasting because last time I checked, we just out sucked a suckass team.

the Chiefs
It’s hard to be so positive when I’m watching the chiefs begin what will be the new powerhouse of the AFC West. I’m waiting for that day to happen when the raiders will run things again, but now I’m watching the Chiefs become that team.
Keep the faith
Not sure when happier days will be here. Maybe once we get a solid QB. Maybe when we have new ownership. Maybe when we have a completely different roster. My point is simply that, while it may be frustrating to watch now, we WILL win again, just like we always have in the past. Knowing that has helped me to get through the past 7+ seasons.
Light at the end of the tunnel
I do have to admit that even though the past so many seasons have been horrible, but watching them beat the Steelers last year was fucking great and last week when we finally beat the Chargers felt so fucking good.
So as much as this game did hurt, I have to think back to last week when I was doing back flips and watching Norv and Rivers walk away losers.
im not a fuckin coach or nothing but stop the fuckin run. 8 in the box
theres no way they should of got a first down being close to there own ten
run D
we are getting mopped left and right this year by the run. the Texan game was shitty and watching Gore rip that run on us was horrible. someone get off their ass and tackle someone
Your D is going to be shitty
if your QB can’t complete one yard of passing in the second or third quarter! Those guys are gassed. All Campbell Soupman had to do is complete a few passes to Miller, who he suddenly remembered was on the team, to give the D a breather!

not really, I saw some few plays where he had time and hit gold in time to throw but he didn't
make the most of those golden opportunities and blew it by making incompletions.
The RaiderLaker
yea thats true but our o line does suck tho u cant disagree with that
not very good at run blockin or pass
Campbell
needs to work on those short passes and dumps.
I liked some of his runs.
But 83 yards is pathetic.
I’m surprised we scored what we did.
it was Jamarcus like numbers

Colt Brennan
Because it would be more interesting than what we got now.
Call him back to back Boller till Bruce gets better.

I actually like Colt Brennan.
I wouldn’t mind seeing him in a starting role with us. But no one else would want to. I wouldn;t mind seeing Boller either I guess.

question
was no one open or did jc just not throw the ball?
by rat, el rat, mr. rat, the rat on Oct 17, 2010 7:11 PM PDT reply actions
People who went to the game say JC. They saw WR's get open, but we can't see from the TV angle most of the time
The RaiderLaker
tv angle
showed jc afraid to throw the ball.
was that the deal or was no one open?

JC, and especially after he had a nice pic. I bet his confidence dipped. Hence, it was mostly JC.
Although DHB still has some problems, splitting snaps with a vet like TO would’ve been awesome…….
The RaiderLaker
Well not to make up excuses but judging from those who went to the game, they say WR's-
were getting open but JC looked hesitant and slow in his reads and sucked hard. I really thought it was on the WR’s and DHB bottlenecking the O, but since I can’t see the WR’s on tv because the camera is always on the ball and QB, I guess they are not lying and JC is not really that good throwing more than 10 yards. If true, having Grads and Dmac back will help lots and we will get back to winning divisional games as the Broncos are next. Chance to go 2-0 in the div.
The RaiderLaker
You could see this coming
Big win last week, followed by a heart wrenching loss.
I tried to think this year will be different, but until this team can show they WANT to win, and win consistently, I have to temper my enthusiasm. Watching that performance by JaMarcus Campbell was embarrassing.
Still a Raider fan, through thick and thin. But this shit is getting so hard to deal with every week, year after year.
We the loyal fans of raider nation deserve better than this.

what is up with all this "fuck the raiders" blah blah blah?
the problem i see with that is, there are quit a few of us that actually spend hard earned time and money to let just anyone disrespect the team… some of us spend hours and hours following the team, writing about the team for what? its borderline disrespectful..
this rage is not to those who are and have been regulars around here… you know who you are. so if you dont like it, i suggest you become a niner fan cause they won a game today….FINALLY!
i bet if we win next week we’ll be hearing another tune…. i swear, stick with this team… if there were any others years to stick around, it would be this year and beyond. yeah, Jamarcus Campbell sucks but this is a different team then any of the last few years. we might not make the post season but at the end of the season, you’ll excited for next year.

been a much better year for sure
I’m with you on this being a much better year then the past so many. I do see positive things starting to emerge here and there. But I’m holding all ideas of next year off till I see how they do against the Chiefs. We manage to beat them in either game this year, then we have a great shot next year.
It needs to be said
I hate hearing the players say they are going to ‘check the tape’ later after they’ve obviously know how they fucked it up.
I spend my hard earned money on the team also. If the Raiders were an East Coast team, they wouldn’t be let off the hook. And just because I don’t post here every day doesn’t mean I’m not a true Raiders fan.
If you love the team, call them out! Don’t stick your head in the sand like it’s all sunshine and lollypops. It hurt like hell today and you know a semi-passable team would’ve stood a chance against the Whiners.

ive never questioned anyones passion or love of their team...
its actually encouraged to be objective but to simply to say “fuck the raiders” is almost disrespectful… folks like raiderway, noon, saint, and everyone else no what im talking about…
I didnt mean to disrespect anyone here because i understand you and many others put there time and money in but… guys like Raider Hater 2 are pathetic to say the least.

Cool
Like I said, I love this team and I hate this team. It sucks when a whole generation of kids out there have never experienced true Raiders football.
I am also not an advocate of the blase “Fuck the Raiders” answer-all. I believe the team does need to be called out though. If I have to sit through another game watching Campbell sit on the sidelines reading paper on the plays instead of rallying the troops, I’m going to shit a brick!

Meh, not Kolb
He’s good but he’s not the type of guy we need. Vick is the big time boom player we need. He can work with this team wel,, remember him with Dunn and YJ Duckett? We got DMC and Bush. He made Crumpler a pro bowler as well

but we have a lot invested right now in QB’s… monetary both picks and tenders… I like sKi as our QB. all we need was one of his patented drives and it may have been a different story.

not too bad
he wasn’t too bad. did have some positive things to say. did piss me off a couple times, but overall he wasn’t being too big a douche.
i remember Campbell limping after a scramble...
did they say anything was wrong with him??? is he hurt? i just seen a tweet about Campbell needing an MRI tomorrow. Maybe this whole situation wasnt the right situation for Campbell. I almost about ready to quit on this guy… this might seem cliche but Vick or scrambling type qb would best… I know Al determines who plays but Campbell isnt getting it done right now.

Jason Campbell stinks
JC stinks and is almost as bad as JaMarcus, if Gradkowski can only stay healthy !!! For some reason he leads us to points, TD’s, this team responds in a very good way when he is in the game !! Campbell STINKS please Bruce come back next week…..PLEASE !!

Who the QB is for the Raiders, they will be shellshocked because of our crappy offensive line. It can’t open holes for the running game but it can to let down defense in to crush our QB. The offensive line closes holes to stop our running backs from running through. That is a job our defensive line does for the other team’s RB’s. Our WR’s are awful and drop too many crucial passes. Our safeties are the albatross of our defense. They can break up pass plays always out of position and too late to tackle or break up pass plays. We have seen how they are in the run defense. Good luck Tom Cable in lasting past the bye week.

Why was Dmac doing good then on the four games he played? if the O-line sucks then but Dmac can still run
for a good 100 yards then that’s great. we need that fucker not to mention his recieving skills and Grads back we would’ve won if we played with our Important QB and RB startes. Imagine SF without Gore. Exactly.

If Branch doesn’t BLOW his coverage on both TD’s, you’re probably looking at 15 to 9 score, instead of whatever the final score was !!!
Instead of Nic Miller, you put the rookie in at a CRUCIAL time to try to get his 1ST Catch of the season. Brilliant !!!!
On every 2nd half run, They BLEW KELLY’S azz out !!! He wouldn’t have that sack, if Smith hadn’t run into his stuck on the line azz !!!
Campbell had that, Deer caught in headlights look again !!!
Fuck, gonna HATE going into work Tomm. DAMNshitfucksuck……………………………………………!!!!!!!!!!
o-line
pass blocked well today. jc had enough time to throw the ball. he just decided not to throw the ball. very bizarre.

Being in an abusive relationship..
is what it’s like to be Raider fan. You pour all this effort into it, and you almost always get nothing in return.
They tell you they’re gonna finally change for the better and do you right. They show you some glimpses of a change coming. So you say ok and give them your love..
But what happens?
They just go back to doing what they do best. Fucking you over and ripping your heart out.

So much shitty play
Campbell needs to go the fuck away, but that’s not happening. CJ, Huff and Branch continue to suck a million dicks. DHB is worthless. Crapper Carlisle, Stupid Mario and Walker can all piss off. Hue Jackson and his bullshit play calling in the redzone were disgraceful. Cable standing on the sideline, sniffing his fingers was about what I’ve come to expect from him. Same old bullshit, follow a good win with a terrible loss. Shit is getting old.

having to watch them blow coverage on the Crabtree TD was sickening. Of all the Niners, I did not want to see that punk get any sort of “vindication” today.

That was the third last possession…I think it was 2nd dn and we were deep…Why the hell was “JustCrap” left in there to screw it up and than back two more times to finish us…Makes NO sense to me…He was lame with a knee for gad sakes!!!…

NO more fucking excuses Raider Nation!
43 years I’ve watched this team. How many of you watched “The immaculate reption” live? Not many I’d guess. This was fucking TERRIBLE today. We all knew that we would have to play our “A” game to get the win. Yes, ALL includes the Team too.WHERE the hell did Hugh Jackson’s play calling disappear to in the second half? Oh, I know …it’s the “O” lines fault again. DHB SUCKS! We all know it- even Mr. Davis.. Works in progress at that price don’t cut it in the N.F.L. …….period.! CUT the imbilical cord and take the loss like we did with JA3andout. Until Mr. Davis (or someone who controls his meds) steps up and informs him that we NEED a G.M. (see Bruce Davis) with TOTAL Football authority we will continue to be the most fucking ,half ass mamma’s boy bunch of shameful rejects to ever have put on the Silver and Black!!!! I’ve seen the glory days, I’m PISSED Nation. We deserve better, and all we get are buffet meals at Prime Rib prices. My blood is Silver and Black , trust me, but enough is enough. Tom Cable MUST GO! I don’t have any suggestions as to whom to replace him with (Gruden -but the bridge has been burned), but Brothers, I’ve seen and eaten enough SHIT,compliments of Cable and Company. Many Coaches involved,but the Captain of the ship always takes the “heat”.SOMETHING has to change.

My first experience with the Raiders goes back to Lamonica...
Seconds left, Raiders down, seconds left, I thought no chance they have… Darryl heaved a toss and won the game. From that day forward I was a Raider fan, and from what I see of todays Raiders, they need to take a page from the past, and learn how to win again.
What pisses me off the most is that the talent is there, just not executing, or Not having the spirit to go that extra something that makes the difference betwixt winning and losing.
I don’t hate Al for it, he too has made his bed and is a cantankerous owner, but all out blame No, I do think firing Shanahan was On him though, and cost us all eventually more SB rings.

Panty Raider, Did you catch the "Mr. Davis"???
He will ALWAYS be Mr. Davis to me, PERIOD. We (Raider Nation) NEED a G.M. that can control LOGICAL day to day operations based on fact – NOT speed in the 40’s times. Part of our past Brother includes 2nd chances by Mr. Davis for the likes of Alzado, Ted Hendricks, Mike Haynes, Bo Jackson( 2 sport player NOBODY wanted to take a chance on, those days are GONE. It’s time to meld the past with the present and it AIN’T HAPPENING folks. Like our current political system, we need a VIABLE 3rd party canidate.
Panty Raider , you want to talk SHIT? What's YOUR SOLUTION BRO???
Just because we have watched the team longer than the youngsters doesn’t mean we have the answers. What’s the solution in your eyes Bro?? Go on, talk to us all knowing wise one. What straightens this ship out?
Commitment -n- Stability For Starters!!!...
How many "HC"s have we been threw the past 3/4 Decade…We have a young core of developing talent and need to add a few more pieces to the “OL” n “QB” n“WR” for sure…This is Hue’s 1st season as “OC” n it takes time to develop anything…
The “D” is young also but starting to show signs of strength if they get support from our “O”…
"ST"s has had a rough start but is now settling down and showing signs of production w a new “STC”…
Every Time you tear it down and start over you lose your foundation because it doesn’t fit the new plans of the new coaches…You lose all stability and go aimlessly season to season under new leadership that never gets a chance to produce a winning system…
That’s what’s enough is enough…Continuity is needed NOT abandonment!!!!….
exactly
so why doesnt he give a coach a chance instead of giving him a yr or two to turn it around wit shitty draft picks he picks
Cable Is Getting That Chance But You Just Called For His Dismissal...
Was “D-Mac” a mistake…Some were saying so….Was Huff a mistake….Some were saying so…Hell Nmamdi was a huge mistake while the “DE” we took later was suppose to be so damn good…Remember…So is McClain a mistake too sense he has blown a few plays…
So some damn “Mediot” jumps all over Al for the “DHB” pick and everyone want to pile on…Well guess what…He was our leading receiver today…As sad as that is he had 3 recs and no one else got that high of production….
“TE”-2
“RB”-2
’"WR"s-4
“DHB” had 3….
even a broken clock is right twice a day
what about all the bad decisions hes made it all reflects in the records. and d mac playin pretty good but he aint even the best in his draft class. and huff is decent. this last draft was either a fluke or als actually getting advise.

And yes, the "Mad Bomber" Daryl Lamonica (#3) was awesome!
In those days the AFL was broadcast on NBC (see imaculate reception and Heidi game ,BOTH of which I saw,or ,in the case of heidi-didn’t see. Kurt Gowdy and Al Derogotis were the big time announcers then, and “Dero” was an outright Raiders fan without a doubt (like Paul McGuire hates the Raiders today). McGuire, a fucking KICKER for the Bills, imagine that. Warren Wells. Freddie B, Marv Hubbard, Len Dawson,Joe Namath, Ted Hendricks, Otis Taylor, Don Maynard, Dan Fouts, “Bambi” Don Coryell NO, not all played together but you get the picture (hopefully). We were never out of it ,ever. that’s just the way it was folks. Even Panty Raider has to admit it, ask him. for us old guys it sucks seeing this mess. I think money has a lot to do with this current situation, but that’s another story altogether. R.F.F.R.
FA...We Can't Keep Our Players -n- Develop Talent Anymore...
It’s produce now or get out…Many players take time to show results but now they rarely get that chance…Even with the practice squads it doesn’t work anymore….
Branch and Huff, are hanging on by a thread, and w/ safeties like Blake Gideon and Will Hill
in the draft, don’t be suprised if one of those guys wears silver and black next year.

Ultimately WHO has the authority to tear it down? The head Coach? Ahhhh, maybe not. The Owner? Probobly. So what’s wrong with installing a G.M. (like we had when we last went to the Superbowl) AND allow another OBJECTIVE football opinion into the mix on draft day or daily football operations?? Let’s hear it.
Davis has the power of attorney for Football Operations, he won't rescind that responsibility until
his death. Power is the ultimate aphrodesiac, even if you do smell of death.

It’s something he MUST relinquish,but never will. Therein lies the proverbial problem. Why we had a G.M. once, and now it’s a foriegn idea makes no sense to me.
Dude, I've been watching the Toronto Maple Leafs for my entire life, Harold Ballard owned the team
and basically, in a different way mind you, manage to decapitate the respect the Leafs had, as Davis has with this team.

Difficult...
The last time Mr Davis built a team from the ground up it happened very quickly in “62”…Sense than he has only had to reload by plugging in new players at critical positions…Than under Gruden/Allan we got out of that formula almost entirely by bringing in aged vets who didn’t need to be developed….We sat the young and played the old…Than by “03” we we’re depleted of youth and the team went to the rest home to retire so to speak…Finally we started to rebuild again around “07” and try to hold onto our young talent and our original vets…So this is a little different than any other period in my Raider history…I’m not sure how to give a comparison but I feel we are about to turn the corner here…I feel we are close…But we keep shooting ourselves in the foot like today and suffering these setbacks so it’s very difficult to depict…

Who's a qb we could get if Bruce doesn't show he's the answer? We need to find a Gannon or a Schaub in the league. I'd go after Vick or Kolb in a trade, or maybe Tyler Thigpen. Hard to tell.

We Don't Have Time To Develop A Rookie Yet The Lams Are Doing Well With Theirs..
I really like Colt Brennen as a “QB” to develop but he didn’t stick or get picked up by anyone else…I like Vick and pimped him last yr only to get booed to death…Too many teams need’em and there ain’t a good supply…That was our problem threw much of the late 80’s and the mid to late 90’s as well…
Is there a good player in the Canadian league that could be taken…I just can’t think of the man….Another Hoss/Gannon/Plunket type….

What about Thigpen? He's only 26 and he had 18 td's in 11 starts with the Chiefs a couple years back.

The only guy out there like that is....Sage Rosenfels, I think he's a free agent
or will be next year.
I like to believe that my best hits border on felonious assault.

Wyo, Panty Raider, know from what you speak, we'll get there again
Hate to date myself but I’m right there with ya. and wish I was as young again as our buddy gogomaplata, and you will witness it my friend, it’s just taking a little more time than any of us expected.
Our team looked pretty sad today, but we have been in the thick of every game but the Titan game
They just need to execute in the 4th quarter. Even though they have sucked for a good portion of their games, they still find a way to have a chance. They need to tighten it up in the 4th quarter so that we can get over the hump. Hopefully Bruce and Dmc are back next week to give us some needed fire power and maybe we can gain an offensive rhythm that we can actually sustain throughout the season if our key playmakers can finally stay healthy.
Agreed We Need "Miren McBush" -n- Chaz Healthy -w- Bruce
We still have enough holes to fill in the “OL”/“QB”/“WR” positions that we just can’t afford to be without any of our main talent…
This is where Bruce needs to come in and play like he did when he rallied us last year, but he needs to sustain it. Time to get their acts together and play determined to end the suckiness. It’s sad because we are right in the thick of the division, but we can’t seem to gain ground. Hopefully that changes.
Who else thinks a potentially good option at qb could be Tyler Thigpen if the guys we have don't show the ability to sustain success?
We probably wouldn’t have to give up much for him. He has all the tools and has looked pretty good when he has gottne a chance.

Another pissed off week ahead !!!!
Why do i feel like every game is going to be better then the last ? i have so much optimism for this team it isnt funny. But once again Im let down. honestly we could of buried the 49ers and their season. but i guess that would of been too much like right !!!!!
Yep
I figured this game could go either way, but for sure we would play better than this. How can Jason put forth a solid effort against the Chargers, and then play today like it was Week 1 again?
Controversy?
I just like to say one thing only, I hope this ends the QB controversy.
WIN, LOSE OR TIE, RAIDER TIL I DIE!!!

What is there to really be upset about?
Another game much like the games all season so far: poor execution, sloppy play, and an unwillingness or inability to step up and take a game that the other team is trying to give away.
I’ll go over what I saw:
QB – Campbell did not look good today, no argument there. While he was able to move the offense in the first quarter, when I thought the play-calling was good, he was absolutely awful in the second and third quarters. He missed on a wide-open Murphy early, but was able to get the PI call to make up for it, he was off-target for much of the day, although Murphy looks to be at fault on the long pass early in the fourth: the ball seems to fall at Murphy’s feet, less than a yard in front of him, and he didn’t even put up his arms! Grade: D
RB – Bush wasn’t bad, but there just wasn’t anywhere to run. No screens to Bush or Reece for whatever reason; I’d like to see them, but on the other hand, we seem to give a lot of them away, the defense is all too often all over them. Grade: B-
OL – Another pathetic outing: no running room, and the QB was under pressure for much of the game. Even keeping in extra linemen isn’t helping all that much… Grade: F
WR – I don’t know if we even have any. Really. DHB and Murphy are second- or third-stringers on almost any other team, but they are both starters here. They are not that good at running routes, and both struggle with catching the ball, as does Ford, apparently. There has been a need for a couple of years for a decent veteran(s) in this position, but the team is locked into however long it takes for these guys to develop. The problem is that they really haven’t; now what…? Grade: D
TE: Did fine, when it was remembered that there is one. Grade: B
DL – Did okay, provided early pressure on Smith, and held Gore in check for the most part. Shaughnessy is showing that he is an everydown player. Grade: B-
LB – Also did fairly well; it has to be remembered that this is not a unit that has that much experience. McClain is a rookie, Groves has played more as a DE, only Wimbley has played at his spot much, or at all, in the NFL. Mistakes are part and parcel of the package that has been chosen, but for the most part, they held up. Grade: C+
S – Another day of head-scratching play. With the obvious exception of Brown, every player looks to have regressed, not knowing where to be or what to do on passing downs. Huff is run over on a semi-regular basis, Branch is burned every game, and Mitchell is too, Brown is not ready to start. They weren’t helped by a lack of pressure in the fourth, but still… Grade: D
DB – Johnson is nowhere near the player he looked like last year, Routt has stepped up his play tremendously, and while Asomugha has not looked as dominant, he is still very good. McFadden deserves a look at nickel; Johnson is playing that poorly. Grade: B
Coaching – Cable is not going to last. He may make it through the year, but that’s it, IMO; the team still looks unorganized, undisciplined, and directionless. The players may like him, but they don’t play any better than they did last year. If you aren’t improving, you’re losing ground, and it is pretty obvious that this team is losing ground. Jackson is not getting the offense going; at times, he mixes it up and gets it moving, then he goes conservative and it sputters badly. He seems unable to maintain a continuity, and while he is hampered by poor play at OL and QB, and a lack of production at WR, there have been enough times when production is there to say that those are not the real reasons for the stagnancy. Marshall has pushed more the last few games, and for the most part the defense has responded to some degree; the problem is that his players are still too undisciplined, and that falls him as a member of the coaching staff. I see no improvement in the play at the WR, QB, OL,or S position: the respective coaches are simply not getting it done. Given the results not just in the win-loss column, but on tape, it’s hard to believe that these guys would have many offers to work, or that weren’t demotions. Grade: F
I’m not really surprised at the outcome, because it is just more of the same that I have seen all year. We have played poorly in wins, and in losses; the team has not changed: good enough to tease, not good enough to progress.
Failure builds character; success reveals it
We always stop the run for part of the game
Then in the second half roll over for them. Almost sounds like a fatigue issue.
if we played the the 1-5 cowboys who would win? and why?

The matchups aren't in ourr favor...
