Al Davis vindicates his chosen ones against naysayers and critics

Darius Heyward-Bey, Tommy Kelly and Michael Huff turned in stellar performances today - and what better time to do it? These Al Davis hand picked-players who he supported against critics with stoic calm, played amazing football today and demonstrated again that when it comes to talent, Al Davis (and Ron Wolf) has no equal (QBs notwithstanding).
This game also demonstrated that we do have a DC who can make needed adjustments in a timely and appropriate manner. Bresnahan did well too - another Al Davis choice. And Hue Jackson? Off the scale brilliance in playcalling gutsy innovations, e.g. the fake punt that sent our STs Captain and "Rock" on a play that took everyone by utter surprise.
Thank you, Raiders! You took control of your emotions and played like true Raiders - physical and intelligent ... a deadly and winning combination. It's in the books: Raiders 25, Texans 20.
Our Team Leader, Richard Seymour distinguished himself yet again in what can only be characterized as an All Pro performance and our Kicker, Sebastian Janikoswski is the coolest dude in California with a Cannon for a leg and ice in his veins.
Al has got to be loving this from his celestial view.

I don't care what other fans say...
I love Jason Campbell. Hue trusts him and his teammates trust him. If part of the fanbase doesn’t support him I’m gonna side with the team. Just sayin.
By Grabthar's hammer and the hands of Zeus, I shall avenge thee.
I understand. We don't have a better option now anyway, but when I see the opportunities left on the table
and the week-in-week-out recidivist mistakes, I know deep down that Jason is not worthy to lead my team to where we all want it to go.

If they could win one with Plunkett
They can do it with Campbell, but it’s conditional on having a D like those ’83 Raiders.
Plunkett blows Campbell away in every category. You can't be serious.

Your criticism of JC is unreasonable and irrational
JC has been a rock for this team he was great againt the patriots just had one awful int.
You have been againt JC since he replaced Bruce as starter I don’t think we can definitively say he isn’t good enough to lead us where we need to go.
He has been a top half QB in the NFL this season, he is not Brady or Manning but he is a top half QB maybe even close to top 10

It's okay for us to take opposing positions as long as neither opinion hurts the team
Campbell is the best QB we have right now – no question. And, we can go a certain distance with him. Overall, Jason is not the biggest weakness on this team … that honor is held by our Weak Side LB – but on Offense, I think Campbell will be the one factor that will stunt our powerful offense in the really tough games.

Besides
I like to think that if Brad Johnson could QB the Bucs to a Super Bowl (keeping in mind it was the D that was responsible for most of that), then anyone can.
Son's great Post, I have seen steady improvement from DHB and if this is an indication of where he is headed...
The Raiders are going to be a scoring machine, I stand behind my assessment that our overall receiving corp is one of the best in Raider history. We have so many weapons at WR right now its nuts.. We have had great receivers no doubt, HOF’ers, but as a corps, a group of receivers we are looking really strong, stronger than in a long time. Even with Rice, Brown and Porter, Rice and Brown were at the end of their careers.
Michael Huff is a good DB, he can play, however, moving to safety requires more hitting and that is where he had most of his issues, but he is decent in coverage, I always felt that way… On Kelly, he did have a good game and I hope he keeps up the good work…Go Raiders!!!!

Tyrelle Pryor will challenge for QB on guts and natural ability. Al picked Pryor too. For me, guts is the most essential attribute
for a Raider and Pryor, from all the film I’ve watched, has guts. Talent is great but doesn’t alone translate to excellence.

The only way he does is if JC gets a little dinged up to miss a game. Or god forbid, very dinged up.
But JC is a tough dude, he is never out for a long time.

There is no way he should start even if JC gets hurt
Unless we are completely out if contention Boller mystery start if JC gets hurt I was thinking a possible wildcat package or something

I'd say put Boller in, and if he sucks, put in Pryor late in the 4th quarter. Might as well get some NFL action for the feel.

Raider Nation todays win was huge...with that said, Jason Campbell is indeed a capable QB...
However, he is NOT the long term answer at QB for the Raiders.. J-Camp has accuracy issues when throwing the ball down field. Point blank, he misses big plays when they are wide open. He hits the open receiver on the long ball every now and then. He has NO deep ball touch. Now if you want to play the short to intermediate game he is a OK, however, to start for the Raiders long term, in my opinion the QB has to be able to hit our speedy receivers deep when they are wide open. Jason just throws the ball as far as he can it seems. So I will say this, and you can QUOTE me…Let me introduce you to the Raiders QB of the future…Tyrelle Pryor…I support Jason Campbell he is afterall our starting QB, and he is the best QB we have on our roster at this moment. But, I don’t feel he is our long term solution. He will need to work on his accuracy to change how I see his play….Thank you Al for all you have done for the Raider Nation!!! Go Raiders!!!

You might be right And I am a big TP supporter as well
But TP is not exactly known as a cerebral pocket passer with great accuracy either.

Actually, TP is a pocket passer with the ability to throw the ball downfield on the run...
Now I will admit, his passes remind me of Jim Plunkett, but damn he is accurate and throws a catchable ball. This kid is going to be great. If you look back when we drafted J-Russ, I questioned his work ethic from day one. Cam and TP have the same game, I watched them both. The Raiders future is bright, get ready for some great Raider teams….
by Rodney Sacramento on Oct 9, 2011 6:37 PM PDT up reply actions
I disagree.
Pryor has good mid range accuracy, but on those deep balls either the WR is wide open, or the WR bails him out. He runs out of the pocket frequently, and the defense moves up so the doesn’t run it, and he takes advantage of that (won’t happen often in the nfl).
His passing is shaky, but at least he does have pocket presence which I like.

Pryor does have great, great potential though
but I am still uncomfortable with his throwing motion and passing ability. Until I see him throw in the nfl, I would not be comfortable with it, and of course throwing in the nfl is harder than college (look at Tebow in college vs. the nfl, as well as vince young).

Look at it this way. His 5-game suspension is over and Hue will coach him.
Hopefully, whatever deficiencies we have may be worked out with good coaching. I hope he catches on because I don’t trust Boller as backup.
It will take more than a season to work out any deficiency's (which I think is passing and reading defenses)
It will take time, but as of now, I am not confident in Pryor unless he proves me wrong.

Jack'sAxe..I appreciate where you are coming from...however, I don't know where you are drawing your opinions from...
Throwing motion is a matter of opinion, quite frankly, the conventional rule to throwing motion can be thrown out the window. That has more to do with what was labeled as the norm for QB’s, if you are a accurate passer your motion doesn’t matter unless you are constantly getting passes batted down. I watched him play all season last year, not just the little highlights they show when you go to You Tube or Google. In full games this kid is going to be great in my opinon of course. I expect the Pryor’s, Newton’s, Vicks, etc, to continue to have more scrutiny and its no big deal, used to that.. And what makes you think this kid can’t read defenses, you definately haven’t watched him play…lol He picked defenses apart, checked off, ran when he had too and threw with accuracy.. Had he played this year at Ohio State he would have gone NO later than the late first round, early second round. He has no more deficiencies than most rookie QB’s. I watched Cam play 6 games last year and they are similar. I was elated to get Terelle Pryor..now, watch what happens…Go Raiders…

here you go
I watched more than these two vids by the way: http://www.silverandblackpride.com/2011/8/23/2378877/terrelle-pryor-analysis
AND I know someone on the pulpit who is a ohio state fan (Ninja SX6JR or something like that). I know quite a bit about pryor.
He ran out of the pocket a lot because he likes to run it, and he threw it to guys who are either wide open, or the WR usually makes a great catch, or bails him out. he is a good passer, but he clearly needs work. I’m looking at his skill set and I find that he would need to be a better passer if he is to survive in this league. Even Mike Vick is not doing great now, as I have predicted. He tries to be a pass first guy, but he mostly finds himself running the ball.

Just like he picked Wisconsin apart last year...
Oops. I watched him too Rodney and all of the things Jack is saying are true. I’m going to hold you to your promise about how great he’ll be and throw it in your face if he doesn’t come up big. You were the same guy pining for a trade for JC touting how GREAT he would be with the Raiders. Well, he’s good enough in some respects but he’s not great.
When it comes to QB’s, Russell Wilson looks more NFL ready than Pryor.
Don't shoot, I'm a man.
It's unfair to pick out his worst game and use it as a reason as to why he will not succeed
By that logic Brady is bad because he threw 4 picks against the Bills but also to say he is a great and accurate passer is incredulous and for me to agree with that at this stage would take more Kool aid than humanly possible to consume.
I am a big TP fan and would like to see him on the field this year in some form of ‘TP Package’ but to think he is ready to start or in any way is a better option than JC is crazy. I made Newton comparisons my self and there are obvious similarities but what Cam has done so far is incredible and he has distinguished himself from Pryor.

First in NO WAY am I saying that Jason Campbell should NOT be the Raiders starting QB...
He is our most experience QB, he also keeps his poise when behind a trait I respect in any QB… With that said, I can go through games of Hall of Fame QB’s and show you situations you would say no way this guy can play…I stand behind my assessment of Pryor, and if I am wrong about this Kid you can let me have it..lol I get flak any way.. I am a Golden Bear, Not a Buckeye by the way, however, I live in Nap so I get to see their games weekly and I watched OSU so much to see Pryor play. Look, he is a rook, he will have to prove himself, every player does regardless of their college stats. If your blocking breaks down I want my QB to run out the pocket, not stand there and take the sack…Athletics play that way, TP is going to be fine at QB…I did support the efforts to acquire Jason Campbell considering our options at the time, however, if you remember Rusty 23, I really wanted the Raiders to pick up Michael Vick, and when Vince Young was available get him as a back up, I felt Young would be a better back up than Boller.. caught hell over that…lol Jason is what I thought he would be, even in Washington, Jason Campbell would choose the underneath routes when a player was wide open down field. I liked Jason because he was safe, and I felt with our speed he would finally go down field more. Well, he is just not comfortable with that, so I will take what I can get as long as he is winning games. Go Raiders!!!!

By the way, Tyrelle Pryor and Cam Newton had basically the same stats in college..Check for yourself...
by Rodney Sacramento on Oct 10, 2011 5:40 AM PDT up reply actions
I posted this after the first game of the season, Cam ran the ball almost twice as much as TP did in 2010 by the way.
Watching Pryor at Ohio State and Cam at Auburn showed me far more similarities than differences..Cam did break Peytons all time first game record with 422 yards to Mannings 302 Yards….And he tied the most yards by any first year QB tying the 422 yard perfomance by Matthew Stafford….Of course, one game doesn’t make a career, however, being from Oakland and living in Indianapolis over the last decade I have watched far more Big 10 and SEC action than Pac-10 or 12 now… Cam Newton is NOT a better passer than Terrelle Pryor, where do you get this from, have you ever watched them play? They have the same kind of game so for those of you guessing lets just go by the numbers…2010 Stats;
Cam Newton: Passing: Att: 280 CMP:185 PCT: 66.1 YDS 2854 Avg: 10.2 TD: 30 Int: 7
Rushing: Att: 264 YDS: 1473 AVG: 5.6
Tyrelle Pryor: Passing Att: 323 CMP: 210 PCT: 65 YDS: 2772 Avg: 8.6 TD: 27 Int: 11
Rushing: Att: 135 YDS 754 AVG: 5.6
After watching both these guys actually play, their games are basically the same, Of course the stats are from their 2010 college seasons. And quite frankly this is the first time I looked at the stats… My assessment came from actually watching their college play last season, yet the stats support my assessment.
By the way, the Raiders have the strongest overall receiving corp I have seen in the last 20 years, look at the overall players at the position. Our weakest link is our first round draft choice DHB…And now he has shown vast improvement over the last two seasons. So, I don’t know where that came from. Al Davis and the Raiders coaching staff hit the lottery with Terrelle Pryor and you will be swearing you knew it all the time in the near future. That kid can flat out play and it will be at QB…Carolina didn’t have a QB at all, thus Cam starts, Terrelle has the benefit of really learning our system. ..Go Raiders!!!

I'd admire that kind of bold statement
“I stand behind my assessment of Pryor, and if I am wrong about this Kid you can let me have it..lol I get flak any way.”
I hope you’re right.
Ozraider you are right, Cam has distinguished himself from Pryor and a lot of other QB's as well.
Cam was thrust into a starting role right away and most thought his first game was just luck and he would flop…Well, he is doing most thought he wouldn’t he is leading his team and winning… TP will one day be able to prove his worth, I only have his collegiate body of work to draw opinions from and he is an accurate passer. It seems regardless of the stats completing 65% of his passes makes him inaccurate, Drew Brees completed 60.4% of his passes his senior year, Aaron Rodgers completed 61.6% of his passes his senior year. And the list goes on…In do time I am confident he will prove his worth…

I'm holding you to it man! :-)
If he turns out to be great I will gladly and humbly bow to you.
Have you watched Russell Wilson?
Don't shoot, I'm a man.
I didn't say that was the only reason.
Just making a point to Rodney that he didn’t just carve up everyone. I didn’t want to rehash everything that Jack’s said. If you watch Wilson from Wisconsin, he looks better than Pryor did at O.S. but of course that means dick until he gets to the NFL. The world is littered with failed QB’s (failed everything really) and TP has a lot of work to do to become even good at the NFL level. But, he has the time and the coaches to help him so who knows. It would be a real shame if we didn’t find a way for him to use his athleticism to help this team.
Don't shoot, I'm a man.
Rusty23, No Doubt the kid has to prove it on the field...
I will say that I watched this kid play and he does have an awkward style of play, but he is effective, as you, I want to see the kid succeed. We have the benefit of Jason Campbell, who I consider a solid QB, and Hue plays to his strengths. My point is I believe that this kid has real potential to be a Star. Pryor is practicing next week, the learning process begins and we will see what the future holds.. I believe this kid is going to shine…Go Raiders!!!!

So, fyi...
Our people are at the Raider headquarters (about 50 of them). The media are starting to arrive. The team is due to arrive at around 7p.
Here's a comment coming from a Texans fan at Yahoo Sports:
Shaub’s inability to produce 2nd half scoring drives is pathetic. He melts under direct pressure, making bad throws and stupid decisions. It amazes me how Schaub as a back up Qb under Michael Vick in Atlanta didn’t learn when to run one in for a TD and a MF win! instead his flat footed self decides to throw a easy INT. Houston let another win get away and the Raiders took advantage of it. good win Raider nation.

very easy for that guy to talk when he wasnt the one getting POUNDED in the second half by the Raiders D line. Had Shaub gone for it which I thought he was, Branch wouldve laid him out or at least damn well tried. That split second hesitation made him back pedal and try to float one in to the end zone. I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw Huff step in and pick the pass. I nearly passed out.

TOP was so lopsided because we kept giving them plays like that 27yder when it was 3rd an long i believe. hell that pass after the 15 yd facemask with a min to go was horrible coverage. We have talent but we seriously need to shore up the coverage and not let people slip out of the backfield uncovered. what was that about? in the end, the team was in position to make a play and win the game in the end, thankfully they came through. But were giving teams too many opportunities to keep the ball when we’ve already stopped them for a 3rd an long. That seymour penalty almost came back to haunt us.

that too man. that protection or lack thereof today was horrible. worst o line game so far (maybe last week was worse but I didnt see it) but when our D was also contributing, man we dodged a huge bullet today. Thankfully we made the plays and held them in the second half the way they are typically held and managed to escape with the win thanks to the clutch pick.

Big difference betwene them two is
a) The deep ball (which he can improve on as he gains chemistry)
b) Reading the blitz and defense, and adjusting (which he still struggles in, but he is adequate).

Also call it depression. Not his fault he didn't get an offer so he just took the juciest offer since we didn't offer him nothing at all.
Al probably thought he would want dough, but he still should’ve contacted him first than any other FA. Plus Al was probably a little unable to keep up with calling all of the FA’s because of his health.
We still need a new #1 or #2 CB.
That is still a need.

He is still developing now, but good thing its with Woodson. Or maybe Chekwa can be that guy.

This is a useless argument
Players usually take the largest contracts available and Al always got his player if he really wanted someone.
Whatever the reason was, that ship has sailed. Nnamdi is not a Raider. Our win is our win and it means a lot to the Raider Nation. Every time we win, we don’t have to go “see Nnamdi, eat shit b/c you left us”. Just my 2 cents. If you guys want to keep on doing that then I can’t really stop you.

Yes Al always got his player
but he didnt get his moneys worth on the last contract and Im sure he knew Nam would come at a higher price. The smarter thing to do was shore up younger up and coming talent that you can work with under the great guidance of the true CB KING in the great Rod Woodson. Im sure for all of Nam’s great play he didnt influence the rest of the secondary the way Woodson is going to.
Yes our win is Our win and were all thankful.
I dont recall seeing someone post here about "see Nnamdi, eat shit b/c you left us", all we said was enjoy your cash. If he was offended by the lack of offer or wanted to play for a contender or whatever reason he opted to leave well you know what, be gone.
Some take offense and call em out, others see it as a team moving on.
Thanks for the awesome play, and were out to prove we can win without you. It wont be easy but we will still fight on.
If you want to ask if he should’ve stayed then thats something else. But for now and the rest of the season we win with who we have on the field. It wasn’t pretty today but they fought till the end and made Al proud by doing what he always asked for

The Eagles aren't using him right.
He’s a pure man-to-man, shutdown corner. They’re making him play zone and stuff – not going to be as effective.
I wish him well. He was my favourite Raider ever, and while I don’t like that he left I have nothing against him personally for it.
I want the Eagles to fail because I hate the dog killer, but I want Nnamdi to do all right.

I find it hard to believe the leagues best corner cant play in a zone. for a guy heralded for his football knowledge not to be able to play in a difference scheme I dont believe it. But Im right there with you, hope he has a good yr, but doesnt get to the SB before us.

Al would have worked with him and his agent
but he didn’t perform per his contract and was looking for a larger one, too bad. Moron
I didnt follow that much, but to say poor Nam was waiting on Oakland to make an offer, I think it can be his way of copping out of the fact that even if they had, most likely he wouldve made other teams offer him more to leave and Im sure they would have. Then his reply might have been they didnt match the offers.

It's what the man says
Believe what you will
As NFL observers instantly identified Nnamdi as the league’s top free agent, he anticipated meeting with the Raiders once the lockout ended. "I would ask my agents (Ben Dogra and Tom Condon), ’What’s going on in Oakland? What’s going on in Oakland?’ he recalls.
Over time, it became clear the Raiders would not have room, or make room, to re-sign Asomugha. Or maybe owner Al Davis simply chose to allocate his resources elsewhere. "My agent said, ’I’m going to be honest with you. I know Hue is trying. I know (the Raiders) are trying. But it just seems so hard for them to be able to bring you back. You have to start to focus on going somewhere else.’

your point being what?
“..it became clear the Raiders would not have room, or make room, to re-sign Asomugha. Or maybe owner Al Davis simply chose to allocate his resources elsewhere.”
like i said, it wouldve cost us too much at the rate he was getting paid. It wouldve meant dropping other players we need on the field. Thats when Al made the decision that unless he was going to play for a pay cut from his last contract, which to be honest would not happen it was better to shore up the rest of the teams needs.

fine by me man. I wasn’t bitter about em leaving, I figured we lost him the minute his contract was voided. No way a guy like that can stay with us with teams foaming at the mouth to offer more money that we couldnt possibly match. Our only hope was he could get convinced to stay and help us get to the top. Unfortunately for whatever reasons he didnt take a pay cut with us and moved on.
I only hope we make it to the SB and win without him to show we werent as dependent of him as all the analysts claimed we were . Sure our secondary is giving up plays, but we still fight for the W till the end.

Nnamdi Does
want to come back. But if would want to come back, he would have to be able to take a pay cut. Routt and huff did it because they want to be here, they are Raiders. Even though Nnamdi didn’t get offers, it was probably sure that he just wanted money because he never offered a pay cut. He is still a Raider in my eyes, but money is what i think he was driven too.

If we had Tom Brady wed be a monster offense. Let it go man. Its done. Were 3-2 with a team that is showing a lot of fight. 4-1 would be nice, but were not that far behind. Nam alone doesnt win us the game. We need to shore up our D and stop giving up the big plays after getting a 3rd an long.

that wont go away until we are in the playoffs. Believe me, Id like to forget it. But when one play costs a game, its crystallized in my brain.
That said, I’ll gladly take 3-2. Given our beast of a schedule, thats damn good.
I get what you mean
It was pretty frustrating watching that defensive effort against the Bills. But I am happy that our defense came through in a big way today. They showed us what they’re capable of and now it’s just a matter of consistently getting that level of play.
"Weakness on both sides is, as we know, the motto of all quarrels." -Voltaire
Thats true
the D cost us a game, and now they won us a game.
Well we had that Buffalo game too, we just didnt make a play. The line didnt get a sack on those 4th down tries and nobody batted the ball down. We just didnt get lucky like today in the end zone. Cause we had the breaks. Branch and Johnson both had easy gimme picks and the winning TD was just a nightmare. Under no circumstances should anyone walk in to the end zone on the final play.
by SilvrnBlck forever on Oct 9, 2011 3:32 PM PDT up reply actions
The reason why I made the Nam comment was because CJ had his hands on what should’ve been a pic to end the Buffalo game. I assume Nam (or anyone else, really), wouldve caught the ball throw right to them. But your point regarding other problems is well taken.
I just think we can be 4-1 without him to be honest. Were just not playing up to the talent that we have. When we catch a break we need to capitalize on it and go with it. Had Johnson caught that pic man how sweet itd have been. I dont know what happened last week so I cant say but so far this yr, the D is showing a lot of good, a lot of bad, but through it all they keep fighting. Holding Foster to less than a 100 on the ground is a big step, but we still nearly gave away the game.
Bottom line in the end tho is we got the W.
The way Al wouldve loved.
But Im with you, I wish we could get the Ws without having to play nail-biters like this as often. 3-2 baby were not done yet, were hungry for more!

He is number one hated in my eyes because every time we play bolts, when Rivers would score, it seemed as if he was targeting all the raiders fan with his emotions, not the players but the fans. He would score and have the look like " you guys aint shit, " then he would go on smiling rubbing it in more.

I agree
i always hated the dude as a player not person. Its just of how cocky the dude was in college. And how he won the Heisman and colt brennan didn’t. Regardless of all the talk, in the NFL he is a FB. I hate how broncos think he is their savior, im almost feel bad for thr players there. The guy is a overachiever, when he was drafted he said the line from that mel gibson war movie " i’ll be the first in the locker room and the last one to leave the locker room " something like that, im not for sure the word for word but it was making me pissed because if he was such a leader why hasn’t he taking any blame for the loses, even if its hes fault he blames the team all together but when he wins it a another story.

How the assistant coaches over there insisted Quinn be second on the depth chart, but then they put in Tebow anyway to relieve Orton.
Go Donkeys! Tebow...I dunno, man.
Putting him in probably helps us more than them lmao

Revis vs. Welker
Nice matchup. Welker is making his plays mostly when Revis is on Branch.
Revis is good...

they have given me a heart attack in some of these games but we came up big and finished this one off…was starting to look like Week 2 all over again but whew thank god we held on for this one…3-2 sounds so much better than 2-3 and now with 3 very winnable home games coming up we should/hopefully be 6-2 going into SD for that Thursday night game

The hate for Jason Campbell every single week now
is VERY unwarranting. It is, honestly.
Today, He was Blitzed like HELL.
The week before, he cost us the game.
The week before that, he manages the game.
The week before that, he throws for 300 yards.
o_o…Now I understand that everyone wants us to sling it like we have Tom Brady, but let’s be honest – Campbell made the plays when he needed to make them today. Now, the deep call in the late second half – Hue said he called that – I don’t believe it. The Pick? That wasn’t double coverage – Jacoby had blown that Safety out of the water.
My thing is, All this warranted hate – we wouldn’t be 3-2 without Campbell. And, we SHOULD be 4-1.

Totally agree, anyone who is calling for a rookie quarterback , either has an extremely short memory
or has not been around the Raiders for long.
I think Campbell is as good as Gannon was and given enough help from his team mates can be a playoff quality QB.
by Oceanside Raider on Oct 9, 2011 5:43 PM PDT up reply actions
Totally man, in the heat of the moment I was cussing at him for his deep bombs to the sidelines or overthrows (Moore).
But that Texan D was no joke. They are very stout and can pressure and overpower weak O-linemen. (Cooper, Also saw Barks give it up in the first snap he played as LG)
The RaiderLaker
Jason's not always perfect. He makes mistakes like so many other good qbs in the league.
The hatred towards him does not make sense. So he’s not Tom Brady, and I’m ok with that. We are winning with him. Suppose we are 6-2 when we play the Chargers, then go on and beat the Chargers with Jason as a manager, nothing spectacular. I’ll bet people will still hate on him.
thats why I had to leave the thread
way too many people were calling for pyror and boller to come in! Didn’t understand it at all. AT Reliant stadium very loud, against one of the toughest defenses we’ve faced to date…
I understand getting caught in the moment…but that was a little bit too much
It's a basic case of many people having no idea what they are talking about
And unable to see the Forrest for the trees.

RAIDER PTSD
We are used to hating on our QB…so even when it makes no sense at all – we still do it. A reasonable look that says the OLine is getting overpowered would be in play for BigBen, Brady, or Manning … But if you are a QB is Silver&Black you will have to deal with the fact that many fans still suffer from the Trauma previous QBs inflicted on them. That said: Campbell, who I fully support, gets a C+ from me today. He can throw the long ball…I’ve seen it…and today he just did not put it in the right spot on 3 occasions that I can remember. He passes because their D and their stadium were fierce and he did make plays. On the season he is getting a B+ so far…I trust that As will be in store. I just hope our traumatized friends can calm dow, look at film, be objective and not yell TP at games if Campbell is struggling. He is our man on that field and we need to trust Hue to coach.

Great Victory for Al
Whatever emotions I’m going through, it’s because this was a fine victory for the best damn Raider of us all. On the down, I can seem him being pissed about the significant penalties that nearly cost us the game. However, Kelly and Huff were downright beastly when they needed to be. Seymour was vicious. DHB held more than his own, and like Hue said, we never stopped playing. I’m loving this coach, loving this squad, and this was a great victory today. I’ll be mad about defense and offensive woes later. Tonight, drinking one for the coach up stairs!!!! Go Raiders!!!!!!!!

What I liked on that TD he caught was how the corner could not bring him down, just broke the tackle.
He’s a big guy and hope he continues to do that.

I thought the play calling in the first half was ATROCIOUS.
Screen the blitzing team, then run, then pass downfield. Not the other way around. They did, however, remedy that in the locker room during halftime. Damn good game—-despite the fact that the refs were trying their GODDAMDEST to hand the game to Houston.

This game was huge for us moving forward
I think we’re going to see this team really come into it’s own during this home stretch.

I told everyone last week ...
That we’d get blown out in the first half, yardage-wise. TX has been doing that all year.
I also said if they failed to put up a big enough lead to match their yardage advantage and went in to the locker room up by only one score, that we’d catch them and beat them in the 2nd half.
Although we CLEARLY got very lucky (the missed FG in the 4th really cost TX this game) and probably had no business winning this game, frankly, I don’t give a shit.
This is the biggest ‘W’ we’ve gotten since we beat the Titans in the AFC Championship in 2002. So proud of this team right now, pulling out a game that, for the past 8 seasons, we ABSOLUTELY would NOT have won. And I’m so happy that one of Al’s guys grabbed the winning interception like that … what a glorious, glorious victory for this team, and the city of Oakland.
No doubt that Coach Davis was smiling down on his team on Sunday, and from his perch willed this team to Just Win Baby!!!
Rest in Peace, Al Davis … You were A GIANT of a man. The Nation will miss you, and always remember what you did for this city, and our beloved game of pro football.
