Raiders vs. Chargers: Oakland Must Blitz Through Injuries
The Raiders have some crippling injuries in the secondary. It has reached the level that the recently signed from his living room Lito Sheppard will be starting at corner.
The situation at safety is looking as grim as the one at corner. Huff is really banged up. He will likely play, but be somewhat limited. Giordano should play, but he also has injury concerns.
Mike Mitchell may or may not play, and Ndukwe was not going to be able to back him up. The Raiders needed some healthy body to be available. So....
The Raiders have to blitz their way through this. They can't allow Rivers time to pick apart their battered secondary. They found great success blitzing Rivers last year, and teams are finding success blitzing him this year.
As for injured players that are attempting to go.....
We already knew McFadden wouldn't be playing. And that puts the burden of the ground game into the capable hands of Michael Bush. The big question is: who will be blocking for him?
Needless to say, the Raiders enter this pivotal game in less than an optimal position. It is time to see if they are ready to quit, or ban together and elevate their play because of it.

Good luck tonight…
NFL Network just reported Bush is OUT tonight. So without DMC and Bush, who runs the rock tonight for the silver and black?
It's great to finally trust the men making the important decisions at 1 Arrowhead Drive.

Raiders are F'ed tonight
I am not thinking that I should watch tonight… Seriously, they may have 4 starting people out there on defense. Want to find a way to get Rivers on track, here it is! Only hope for the Raiders tonight is keep hitting Rivers, and hopefully one of those times he doesn’t get up. Other than that, kiss the division goodbye tonight. I HATE penalties, but if Seymour blows up #17 I will forgive him in an instant! hahahahahahaha
Go Raiders, just don’t embarrass yourselves tonight OK?
Ah.. Remember last year,when Ro trucked Sproles and knocked him out of the game?
by ROFLCOPTER16 on Nov 10, 2011 3:51 PM PST up reply actions
yup, that is exactly what we need to see tonight
Remember in 03 when the Raiders escorted 7 QBs off the field in the hands of trainers? Time for something like that to happen….
Win or lose, unless the Raiders get some health, this season is a goner. This has to end soon, there are just too many injuries to be competitive. Seriously only 1 corner is playing that was on the opening day roster. WTF! Branch, Routt, Wimbley, Tommy, Seymour and Lamarr are the only starters who will be out there tonight at 100%. Huff will go out there and hurt the team worse than normal. UGH. I am getting depressed thinking about it.
Glad I didn’t get tix to the game!
I've decided to drink the Kool-Aid.
I’m going to be disappointed if they lose, but that would be the case whether or not I was a dour fucker before the game.
Raiders 140 – Chargers 45.

Hello Raider nation. I have a question. Do I have real reason to believe that Jacoby Ford will play well for a second week straight. Is he CP’s favorite target? Thanks guys, and GO RAIDERS tonight. Phuck the Bolts.
I was once fired from a job two days after I waited on Matt Cassel and his wife Lauren Killian. Totally my AP moment to remember. Unfortunately also one of my stupidest moments.
Well... They seem to rotate the focus every few weeks. Next it'll be Chaz. DHB has had his run.

To me it seems like CP may change the trends of the first half of the season.

"THE TIME TO WIN IS NOW" - Coach Hue Jackson
Raider Nation, all hand's on deck or get the hell off the ship! That's the way it's gonna be around here from now on! If a 7th & 5th round pick gets you Aaron Curry (a former 4th overall 1st rd. pick) instead of a couple of crap-shoots a year later, then fine and if dealing away a couple of first rounder's gets you a proven franchise quarterback like Carson Palmer and a legitimate shot at the playoffs, then great, you know why? Because our team is standing behind it's motto & legacy, "Just Win Baby!" and "Commitment to Excellence" instead of "Suck for Luck" and "Give Up". Imagine if you were a fan of a team that actually bought into that!?!
