HA HA HA
I have to agree
4 once your not a BULL****ER

The most anticipated moment of this game will occur after it's over when Harbaugh & Schwartz meet in the middle post game. Last year it almost resulted in a brawl.

There are some very, very strange scorelines in the third quarter.

Well my team is sucking.

This is not how it should have went.  I feel like we traded Bresnahan for Knapp. 2 retreads who were horrible when they first were on the team.

This all falls on the GM McKenzie shoulders.  He wanted to have total control. He said he's gonna bring championships.  Not expecting a championship, but I also didn't expect our offense to implode.
Actually, I kind of did when our former coach who built our great offense was fired. 

2 straight weeks and Gregg Knapp's zone-blocking and play calling is ineffective. Knapp is hog-tying our best player, Darren McFadden.  We had such an exciting offense last season.  It's very disappointing to hear all talk how Knapp's zone-blocking was going to make it better and it's become sterile.  Darren was the no.1 running back last season before he was injured.  2 games and he has been used in the wrong way.

After seeing the first 2 games, I've had enough talk about Knapp.  Either make your scheme produce, or go back to what was working.  You are doing to our offense, what Bresnahan did to our defense.

Comment from another Raider fan:
No running game, combined with no real threat at the wide out positions and a secondary that couldn't strat for Alabama and you have a sub par raiders team again. I am a long time raider fan and we just seem to continue down the wrong path every year. Our offence was great last year and we changed that. The defence was horrible and we tried to fix that but with out any corners we will get torched every week. This week it was by a Rookie. What happen to the run defence? One step forward and 5 steps back should be the new Raider moto. Why do we try to throw deep when we have a 3rd and 4 situation? What is the OC thinking. Create a mismatch with McFadden and Reece in the back field and throw a little dump off pass. I could go on and on but I will stop here. I am just disapointed with the way the offence has played so far and the defence seems to be back to their old ways of letting a running back kill us.

My comment.
Hue Jackson was a great coach for us last year.  He told it like it was. Now all I get is, this hip hooray in the article about the zone-blocking. Coach Allen, you seen it work?  Where? Cause it ain't working  for the Raiders. That o-line ain't picking it up.  Well guess what guys, Tom Cable had zone-blocking for the Raiders and it did work then. So did Jackson's power-blocking, work tremendously. 

I am like Allen Iverson, Practice? Carson yall talking about practice?

It's game time now!  Now is when all your talk is suppose to do your walk.  The only problem is you took a great offense and screwed that up.  We needed our defense fixed.  That was the problem.
Not the offense. 

If you look like this now, how are you going to fare against 2 tougher games in the next 2 weeks?

My only point is, since you wanted to mess with one of our best offensive coordinator combo's ever in Raider history Hue Jackson/Al Saunders, Then make your new system work and to the benefit of one of the best player's in the league, Darren McFadden. 

Raider fans knew the defense was the problem, and that can't be fixed overnight.  We can wait patiently for that.  We know that is an involved process, especially coming from the worst defense.
Because at least we can see some progress

But the troops are going to turn quickly if you don't get this offense going.  To mess with something that was your best and most exciting part of your team, except for Lechler and Jano, Raider Nation ain't gonna  be patient with that.

Hue Jackson got fired for 8-8. Let's see what kind of record you can produce starting at 0-2.  Desperately wanting this to work, just seeing vanilla offense instead of Spumoni offense with all vibrancy of play-calling and execution.  I just hope you didn't break something that was like Tiffany.  You have talent there.  Please use the talent to their upmost ability or you are just wasting those players. Speed receivers need to be used for their speed. You got a QB that can pass long.
Don't handicap them.

I believe the biggest upset was the Cardinals beating the Patriots.....anyone else want to give theirs.....my gawd the Raiders are killing me, that baby face coach is on the hot seat, River Cat is right about the missuse of DMc.....the 49ers just surprise me, but I'm still not sold, Alex Smith with the bloody nose looked great, and Gore always plays his tail off, that O line deserves alot of kudos....Peytons going to light up the score board tonight

Shred

6 out of 15 for the weekend.  this is the reason I don't bet real money
