Raiders vs. Packers Pregame Thread

Here we are. Four games left, tied for the division lead, although trailing in the tiebreaker, facing an undefeated opponent while the Broncos face the suddenly hopeless Bears. This is not a great position to be in.

It is safe to say I am nervous about the looming transpiring of the day's events.

There is little reason to think the Raiders will win this game. Yet, this is the exact kind of position that has lead to stunning Raider victories in recent years. This team often seems to be at their best when their backs are against the wall and no one expects them to win.

If they are going to win, it has to start with dominance in the trenches. The defensive line has to play their best game of the season—especially the defensive ends. Lamarr Houston has failed to live up to expectations this year. It is time for him to have a big game. On the other side, Kamerion Wimbley needs to turn in another performance like he had against the Chargers.

This team needs to give Aaron Rodgers no time to throw the ball. Otherwise, this defense will suffer a similar outcome that we saw in the second half against the Bills, or another game like the Patriots game.

Offensively, the Raiders O-line must open up consistent holes for Michael Bush, and give Carson Palmer plenty of time to connect with his depleted receiving corp.

If the Raiders can dominate in the trenches, they have a chance. However, to say I am confident in a Raider victory would be a stretch. I put my confidence level at a flat 14.7 percent.

I'm mostly just hoping we make the game competitive.

Obviously I want us to win, but with all the injuries we have and the sorry state of our defense I can’t really bring myself to believe we’ve got a shot.

I’d be happy to be proven wrong, however. Go Raiders!

Same here, we might be on paper as the team who will lose, but I wont accept not putting in the hustle, effort for the full for 4 quarters. GB has to take the W from us. If we just hand it over Im turning the game off at halftime. Last week was by far the worse lack of effort from what I heard since I missed most of the game. For the record I dont even want to see DMC for the rest of the year now, guy let me down. Ill wait for em next year.

This is how I see it.

It’s time to Nut up or shut up. (Thanks Woody)

Anyways we are walking onto the home turf of the SB champions and without a shadow of a doubt the best team in football. We are an 11 point underdog, and according to all the “experts” we’ll be lucky to keep it within two TD lead. The Packers are healthy, we are not. There isn’t a single reason why we should even show up to this game, let alone play in it. There’s just one problem with all of this.

We’re the Fucking Raiders. This team is predicated on changing the outcomes of what is “supposed” to happen. Case in point. We got our asses handed to us by a team that were supposed to walk right over. Now you can chalk that up to whatever you want, but I still think it’s just how the Raiders are. Every team we were supposed to lose to, we’ve beaten (with the exception of NE). This team is acting as the “WTF” team of the NFL this year. Our pulse can’t be found. Where one day we’ll come out and play like we couldn’t beat a high school team, the next week we’ll come out and play like stark raving mad men.

The emotional level of this team is once again being tested in the form of losing another family member. It is a shitty thing to wish for, and even in saying this I am in no way doing so. This team needs a family member to die every other week. It seems to me like when there is some ridiculous mental trauma circulating around, the Raiders play their best football. It’s almost like the overload of dealing with a loss, helps these guys out. It’s my outlook that our team is constantly over thinking themselves. Trying to do too much. When the stress levels are off the charts is when they calm down and just play the damn game. They let everything hang out and really sink into what Raider football should be about.

I realize that what’s been said up there is pretty shitty, but I can’t take it back. Once again I wish nothing of the sort on our boys, but it happened again and I expect to see this team play out of their minds.

I don't agree with the Blitz Rodgers thing either

I think the way you beat him is having your D-Line punch hard for two steps, then sit back and get their hands up. The GB playbook is based off of beating the blitz. Every time a blitz comes it seems like there is always one receiver that is uncovered.

This is one of the few times in the season I think you have to play man coverage every play. The CBs have to get up in the receivers faces, jam them hard at the line. This is a team you are looking for coverage sacks with. You’re not going to beat Rodgers with the quick blitz, you are going to beat him if he has to hold onto the ball for too long. Problem is no one can seem to do that against him….So far.

You have to be a discipline Dline to rush a QB like Rodger. I don’t know what we do best but we have to find out do it.

by Micheal Y on Dec 11, 2011 12:12 PM PST up reply actions  

I agree

Our secondary, especially over the middle, needs to bump at the line and maintain close contact for the first 3-4 seconds after the snap. If our middle is soft, Rodgers will kill us all day long.

it's very simple

We play like we did against SD, we beat GB, and any other team for that matter.

Any, and I can’t stress this enough ANY other raiders team (including other wins) shows up today, we lose.

Plain and simple. Here’s to hoping raiders can hone in to that beautiful play from the SD game. Go Raiders!!

Eh, SD isn't nearly as good as GB.

They are a mediocre team. We played them well, but I think we need to play much better than that against GB. Because they’re just that much better.

by Chris2814 on Dec 11, 2011 12:23 PM PST up reply actions  

nope your wrong very simple

We play the way we did against SD we win. You are wrong. The SD game had very little to do with the competitive level of SD but more to do with how both sides of the ball executed our game and didnt gift TDs through self destructing penalties, again we win If we play like we did against SD. Raiders worst enemy every week is the raiders, not the other team.

We still played a fairly crappy 3rd quarter in that game

Gave up 14 of the 17 points there. I don’t think we can allow to have one single crappy quarter against GB is all I’m saying.

Saints are looking good against TN as well ...

They have the ball, first and 10, 2:00 warning, TN has 2 timeouts. Basically, one first down away … I like Brees’ chances.

So, looks like only the Jets win out of our WC competitors, and we have the TB on them, so …

Not that there’s any real chance of us getting a WC spot, but it’s fun to have other games to ‘care about’ even it’s mostly just for fun.

The game is over. Why risk injury to Palmer and other starters.

Sooo..

When do the Raiders get here?

The worst thing about this season right now?

It’s making me wish I was born a Niners fan. That’s never happened before…

by Chris2814 on Dec 11, 2011 2:28 PM PST reply actions  

Fuck it.

I’m gonna root for the damn Packers now. Show those damn Patriots how 19-0 is done. YEAH!

by Chris2814 on Dec 11, 2011 2:30 PM PST reply actions  

Fuck Rodgers

Don’t wish injury or harm on anyone but I hope they take Rodgers out!!!! Serve them right for leaving him in!!!

by bigjon22 on Dec 11, 2011 2:31 PM PST via mobile reply actions  

Yeah, now you see why I said I'd be shocked if they left him in ...

Next drive, when it’s 38-0 (I predict this will take 1 more play), if they let Rodgers come back out, MM should be fired.

by Brett J Valjalo on Dec 11, 2011 2:34 PM PST up reply actions  

Ya!!!!

Right on cue!!!! Kill him!!!!

by bigjon22 on Dec 11, 2011 2:31 PM PST via mobile reply actions  

NO WAY is that a clip by Houston ...

THAT BLOCK WAS FINE!!!

Of course, they have to FUCK US out of our TD … and it’s not even a fumble anyways …

by Brett J Valjalo on Dec 11, 2011 2:32 PM PST reply actions  

Yeah, lame call by the refs

but it wasn’t a fumble so whatever.

by Chris2814 on Dec 11, 2011 2:33 PM PST up reply actions  

Ya

Knock his ass out next time if they keep him in!!!!

by bigjon22 on Dec 11, 2011 2:33 PM PST via mobile reply actions  

Hue gott go!!!!

Hues an idiot!!!!

Fuck the tuck!!!

Hate fuckin seeing that shit!!!

by bigjon22 on Dec 11, 2011 2:36 PM PST via mobile reply actions  

LETS GO BEARS!!!

Hopefully these two debacle’s two weeks straight will be just the wake-up call this team needs. I have to think also that there’s a decent chance we get back at least Moore and Ford, and who knows, maybe even DMac.

As long as Denver loses one of the next three, and we beat the Chiefs, we can be playing for a shot in week 17.

by Brett J Valjalo on Dec 11, 2011 2:39 PM PST reply actions  

Don't hold ur breath

They not coming back anytime soon

by bigjon22 on Dec 11, 2011 2:41 PM PST via mobile reply actions  

So, I'ma be real:

I’m hoping we ger an OC, a DC, maybe even an HC, fire WR, LB staff, and that we resign Branch, Bush, and Campbell.\

I want a QB Controversy.

I hope that we get a super good GM

so we can all sit back and trust his decisions. We definitely need to make some signings in the free agency next year to make up for the loss of draft picks.

You guys don't ACTUALLY THINK they are going to give us this interception do you?

I mean, C’MON.

Even though the announces say it’s a pick, you mark my words … these refs will find an obscure rule to fuck us with.

by Brett J Valjalo on Dec 11, 2011 2:45 PM PST reply actions  

interception!

Hey, did you guys notice ...

That interception by Mitchell was on 4th down? Think about it … there was the incompletion (OH BY THE WAY HOWS THAT NOT INTENTIONAL GROUNDING?), then two other incompletions, THEN Mitchell makes the INT. They tried to give GB an extra play on that series, I swear to god. I wish I had the game recorded, but can someone who did who can rewind please confirm what I’m saying? I’m curious if I’m right … or just drunk and stupid at this point?

by Brett J Valjalo on Dec 11, 2011 3:10 PM PST reply actions  

Drunk probably.

In WHOEVER GIVES US THE WIN We Trust

by NFLanalyzerfromhome on Dec 11, 2011 3:10 PM PST up reply actions  

No, I'm not actually ...

They gave GB first down over again, + penalty yardage, due to our ‘clipping’ penalty on the play. HOW THE FUCK does that work, when it was an INCOMPLETE pass? None of what happened afterwards should’ve COUNTED in ANY WAY …

And not only THAT, that play should’ve been intentional grounding by Rogers, and a loss of down. The clipping should’ve been irrelevant, based on the incomplete pass.

We got FUCKED on that sequence of plays. Sheer luck they didn’t end up w/7 instead of that pick.

by Brett J Valjalo on Dec 11, 2011 3:17 PM PST up reply actions  

Because

The play resets after the flag for clipping?

In WHOEVER GIVES US THE WIN We Trust

by NFLanalyzerfromhome on Dec 11, 2011 3:19 PM PST up reply actions  

And it shouldn't.

It’s a legit flag, like Holding.

In WHOEVER GIVES US THE WIN We Trust

by NFLanalyzerfromhome on Dec 11, 2011 3:19 PM PST up reply actions  

It shouldn've even counted ...

It was an incomplete pass, the ball was dead, and what happened afterward should NOT have mattered. PLUS, it was CLEARLY intentional grounding.

Now GB is getting players hurt … they are IDIOTS to still have starters out there.

by Brett J Valjalo on Dec 11, 2011 3:21 PM PST up reply actions  

NOW that should take Rodgers out of the game ...

How stupid is MM letting him continue to play?

That HAS to be the last drive for Rodgers today. That’s twice he could’ve EASILY been injured.

by Brett J Valjalo on Dec 11, 2011 3:18 PM PST reply actions  

And this

is how we should’ve been playing earlier

by RaiderT420 on Dec 11, 2011 3:26 PM PST reply actions  

So what happened?

I went out for smokes, and the Raiders must’ve caught FIRE, putting up a whopping 7 points while I’z gone …

by Brett J Valjalo on Dec 11, 2011 3:40 PM PST reply actions  

So, Denver w/2nd & 3 from teh CHI 10 yard line ...

Is everyone ready for Tebow Time, to finish the process of ruining our day?
