Prilosec Victory of The Week: Not The Raiders

PrintOn day two after the humbling defeat in PIttsburgh I am much less bothered by the blow-out loss and more focused on how this team will bounce back from having it's complete underbelly exposed. And yes that includes Mr. Tamata Head, Coach Cable. (Sorry, his head just looks like a big fat tamata after it's been cooked in the sun for a few hours)
Head Coach possibly being ran by the man upstairs, and forced to start Jason Campbell? Check!
Raiders now 1-9 after the Bye Week attributed to giving this team a week off and not taking two weeks to game plan for the biggest game of the year? Check!
Non-Blitzing defense? Check!
Conservative Offense? Check!
These are all things that we thought were solved before the Bye Week, so hopefully knowing that these need to be corrected and also seeing the Chargers and Chiefs win convincingly will light a fire under our boys.
In other news, some OTHER team did have a huge win, and this week there were some great choices, so vote below!

I have Al Davis conspiracy theory I ponder sometimes
The short version is this: every time the team looks to be turning it around, Davis panics at the thought of someone other than himself getting the credit for it, and forces the coaches to play backwards ass 70’s football.
Kamerion Wimbley is the truth
That is definitely one of the conspiracy theories about why Gruden was sent packing

we got beat
thats all there is to it. i saw it coming a mile away, so when i checked the score after halftime (cuz somebody in the nation was scoring that day ;D ) and i knew it was over.
this is humbling, but i would rather lose to a top team in the league than have done it in miami next week. its gut check time for the oakland raiders. we need to see if theyve got the balls to turn it around and show theyre a real team, or flounder and extend the streak of futility
+1
It really is that simple. We just lost to a better team. We’re getting better but we’re not at the level of some of the top tier teams… YET.

To a degree, I'll agree
but we played a horrible game. Flat offensively completely, which led to an early demise of the defense, which was ultimately pretty flat, too.
Bottom line here, is, too many folks are giving the coaches a break from not fielding the best team and performance week in and week out. We still lack consistency big time. What scares me most is we didn’t see a shadow of the teams that won the last three games; we saw a horrible display of poor execution of an even worse game plan with an even worse consideration of how best to use our personnel.
The Steelers ARE a better team, but that has little to do with us playing our best game and finding some consistency, and some kind of identity on either side of the ball. Agreed on the lack of blitzing. Agreed on faltering from game plans that work, and regressing back to antiquated game. It bothers me that we saw very few plays called designed to neutralize an aggressive and powerful, strong against the run defense.
It is a good time for a gut check, but I believe this team has already shown it can’t find its rhythm, and will be the benefactor of more wins as much by luck and some of our studs stepping up. We have yet to resemble a unit that can make a push deep into the playoffs. As it stands, we’ll come second to the Chiefs, or more likely, a resurgent Chargers team. Watch how much a difference V. Jack makes.

The coaches are gutless and the players are ready and eager to be formed into something great and respond to leadership
I’m convinced the coaches cost us this one for their lack of preparation and there’s no excuse because they had a ton of time and the blueprints from Steeler loses. The players were not prepared they were given praise and everyone was feeling good about all they had accomplished. Compared to what?! 5-11 is what Cable was comparing things too and his complacency was passed down because he is their leader.

Agreed on the players.
and that we’d see something simliar to what’s happening in Dallas with the right leadership.

actually, agreed on the coaches too!
whatever’s happening, it’s not working.

I don't understand the point of this prilosec pole
Isn’t it supposed to be the game that gave their team the most heartburn in a victory?
Because the only person who got heartburn in the Bills-Bungles game was Marvin Lewis, yet that’s the game that got the most votes. I don’t get it.
JUST DOMINATE BABY !!!
Best play of the game?
Seymour decking the rapist ( ah , errrr, Alleged rapist). It was a total set up. Surrounded by Steeler offensive linemen who saw AND HEARD the whole thing then failed to stand up and take him on for what he did. WHY? They knew it was coming,and what it’s intent was. Well, we played you 2 times in a row in Shitsburgh and the next time will likely be in the Black Hole dickheads. Guess what happens then? MR. SEYMOUR LEGALLY puts your sorry ass on I.R. . I will fly out for that one with my old Lady from Wyoming just to see them take your sorry ass off the field in a golf cart. I’ve hated the fucking steelers for 43 years,this just deepens the hatred.

Depends on which John Marshall show up the one who takes no prisoners and keeps the heat on with multiple bold attacks
or the Hoary Rabbit who doesn’t want to risk a big gain to sticks with the playbooks prologue and doesn’t bother to adjust a damn thing while we spiral into hell.

It looks unanimously in favor of the Bills' huge game
I’m actually stoked to see Buffalo winning some games, and with an impressive offensive fashion too.

I have to agree with Sons on this one, losing is one thing, however, the manner in which we lost this game is a clear sign of a blatant lack of coaching prep.
The Steelers are indeed a good team, however, we should NOT have been beat 35-3.. At no time did we play this game as if we were preparing for them. coaching and play calling is critical…Of course, the players play the game not the coaches, however, coaching lays the foundation for solid play. Back to the film room and the field, it is time to get back to work, we can still have a greatly improved season. Go Raiders…!!!

The coaches biggest mistake was
in not seeing that Jason Campbell was the wrong man for the job. Also for failure to see what the job even was and how to attack it, even though there was plenty of evidence and info on HOW to play and succeed against the Steelers.
JUST DOMINATE BABY !!!
I’m tired of that. What we’re they gonna do? Bench the guy who’s led us to the best season in almost a decade. Yeah, that makes alot of sense.
Hippy/Raider fanatic.
Exactly what has Jason done to lead us to our current record?
He’s played horrible in 5 of the 7 games he’s played and holds us back when the defense isn’t dominating and our run game is struggling.
The score should have been 42-3 after that pick-6 but that bullshit penalty on Harrison saved his ass. Campbell is horrible and the only people who say otherwise just want to coddle him and make excuses for why he doesn’t deserve to be benched. I bet you people all said JaMarcus Russell was a great pickup for us when he was drafted and gave every excuse in the book for his shitty performances last season. Smh.
Heads by the score take flight incite a war
Chicks hit the floor, diehard fans demand more
Behold the bold soldier, control the globe slowly
Proceeds to blow swingin swords like Shinobi
Stomp grounds and pound footprints in solid rock

I'll be a Raider fan till the day Al dies
So you can quit with the whole Al meddling thing. They played like they slept for 2 weeks… We barely beat the Chiefs without Nnamdi… No shot against Pitt without him. Secondary getting burned. Unfortunately, no pro-bowl depth just yet.
Optimistic...
