Around SBN: Now They've Screwed Spurs, UEFA Willing To Review Rule

Halftime Thread: Somehow the Score Is 3-3


I am still burning about Hue not calling a time-out and getting a chance at another run back! Idiota!

Just like the 2011 Season to date, the Oakland Raiders played a roller coaster 1st half.

There was a fake field goal for a touchdown...Called back for delay of game.

There was a 91 yard kick-off return...There were 10 penalties.

There was a MADE Janikowski Field Goal, a missed attempt that hit the crossbar and an attempt that was never made that perhaps should have been and a blocked field goal to end the half!

There was a Giordano interception in the end zone and two Carson Palmer picks that should have NEVER been thrown.

In short, it was a microcosm of the Oakland Raider 2011 Season. A ton of upside with just enough downside to be 7-7.

Let's break it down and get ready for the 2nd Half.

In other news, Buffalo is up 17-7 on Denver.

Great, now Gio is injured

This season is just an endless disaster.

by Chris2814 on Dec 24, 2011 11:36 AM PST reply actions  

Amazes me how more fans didn't see this coming from Palmer.

I absolutely trashed the Palmer trade when it happened as one of the worst trades the Raiders (or any NFL team for that matter) have ever made. Raiders fans who were for the trade obviously were thinking they were getting Palmer from 5 years ago, not current injury prone, old and inconsistent Palmer that we ended up getting. Palmer is an average QB at best, and to give up what we did for him was idiotic to say the least. There was NO DATA to say that he was going to succeed, yet we pulled the trigger anyway. Cincy is laughing at how bright their future looks at our expense. The Raiders have a lot of problems on defense and DMC being out really hurt, but Palmer has been inexcusably bad with the exception of a few games. The Raiders future with no draft picks and no quality talent looks really dim once again.

Ya

Not a pretty game by any means. Palmer needs to do a hell of a lot better than this.

Honestly

What else do we have but kool aid for this team?

by rightnasty on Dec 24, 2011 11:42 AM PST up reply actions  

Cant fire the owner

LOL Amy Trask and Mark Davis allowed the trade.

I am worried about are owner though he is an over all nice guy unlike daddy who would had chuckb fired on Xmas day

Very Important for Oakland to get a GM otherwise the Influence of Jackson will have mark Davis making these types of decisions in the future.

And I agree the trade and value don’t match but saving the season was important. Kyle Boller would of took us down a dark road and Terrell Pryor what of got his chances to take over the teams this season without the Carson trade and maybe at this point or next season he could of been our starter. Hugh doesn’t have faith in him as I can tell when he was asked about the subject. He said he didn’t want to throw Terrell to the the wolves. You have to start at some point that is what you are getting paid for.

Hugh made a call and thought the Raiders were going to go big this Season and got what he wanted and I give Carson 1 more year if he stays this way. Not trying to knock Carson I mean he is a USC graduate but he talks so tardiloquent and slow

Cheap shot

Giordano looks hurt. That was a cheap shot to his knee. Hope he’s ok

I was for the Palmer trade

And after the Denver and San Diego games felt that way even more.

But what the fuck is with the guy on the road when he faces any pressure. Miami, Green Bay, and now today. He’s been much worse than “average at best” in those games. He’s been a team killer.

And he’s completely destroying us today.

To review

back to back timeouts, slapping the QB in the face, and holding are all ok as long as its the cheifs doing it…. Now you are up to speed.
