Oakland UP in Power Rankings

as we did vs. SF; JC had as QB rating of like 8 . . .
We have to get things rolling our way and right away to avoid such horrible displays of Raida football, methinks.
As one of my brothers on the KC game thread said right after Johnson got called on that first quarter Pass Interference (a horrible call as it was really textbook coverage):
“it’s calls like that that suck the air out of our team and take away tenuous early game momentum.” (Well, it was something like that…). That call gave KC the ball in the RZ and they scored. Very much like the blown call on Miller’s “fumble” also led to a touchdown.

Ever since losing to SF these guys have been on an absolute tear.

I think losing to them woke them up with a big bitchslap to the face. I don’t know about you guys, and I know it is against everything we stand for, but I’ve been thanking all the SF fans at my work for awakening the monster that is the Oakland Raiders.

We were mediocre until that loss, and now these guys are playing with a real chip on their shoulder from top to bottom.

a drunk Georgia Coed over Seymour….

strip the ball.

That formation worked, because every time prior, and the week before on tape, we check Khalif as an eligible lineman, effective a third TE in a two TE set or a second in a single TE set. The G and T on the side with the extra TE (Khalif in most cases, though we’ve used Pears and even Walker) block down, with the opposite side G and T pulling. It created monster holes and yards for McFadden. I’m sure KC saw this on film, and thought they were getting the same thing. Since it’s been so effective, Hue was able to run play action on it, knowing Khalif would go uncovered. Brilliant.

I love it, and know we would not be seeing this kind of creativity were Cable still flummoxed by playcalling, something with which he certainly should never have been burdened, and sucked as a result, but perhaps the bigger loss was not having Cable to do the things a head needs to do, and more importantly, with the line where he excels.

Party on Khalif, party on! Let’s just keep these creative blocking alignments coming! They help us neutralize pass rushes and relieve much of the pressure off lineman, which is exactly what we need right now.

..you mispelled ‘loses’. But then I consider the source.

To your minus 1. Not looking forward to that one. Feel Grads is the better option in that one. Going deep won’t be an option.

and Flatco would be annihilated off the map.
