I should've known better. It's sad to see how much one man can bring down an entire organization.

Did McFadden get injured or did they just take him out because he couldn't move the ball?

RaiderNation · 10-04-2009, 01:41 PM

I remember seeing Marshal is Seattle doing a bunch of LB blitz's with Julian Peterson and got them to the Superbowl in 2006.

I havent heard of any injury. We just havent been able to run the ball at all. He has looked to good this year :(

How did I know that was going to happen?

Safety. ugh

619 · 10-04-2009, 02:13 PM

Top pick this year? I think so.

What a pathetic team. It's a pain to watch every week.

I don't blame you man lol.

It's tough **** to put up with.

RaiderNation · 10-04-2009, 02:23 PM

Especially for what 7 years now. All I want is a winning season

RaiderNation · 10-04-2009, 02:27 PM

Chris Johnson with a great game? He had a int and got beat like 3 or 4 times. Come on man!

619 · 10-04-2009, 02:29 PM

I might just start rooting solely for the Eagles lol

619 · 10-04-2009, 02:47 PM

Okay, I'm officially convinced JaBust is the problem, or at least a big part of it from a personnel standpoint. I'm done finding excuses for that scrub.

RaiderNation · 10-04-2009, 02:48 PM

I stopped watching the game a while ago now lol. Just watching Peyton do work on the seagals

lol i really wanted to go to the Giants vs. Raiders game next week too.

NIN1984 · 10-04-2009, 02:59 PM

drop, drop,drop,drop. WOW. How awful is this offense.

Stash · 10-04-2009, 04:21 PM

How many times did we let Houston casually stroll completely untouched into the endzone? Terrible performance all around. We can't pass, can't run, and can't stop anything. I absolutely hate how we keep coming out passing knowing how bad JR is. I know we didn't run well at all today, but we never really committed to it. Fargas had 10 carries, Bush had 3 and DMC had 6. I'd rather just keep pounding away with the run than let Russell throw it 33 times.

Don't know who it was, but that color commentator was a complete tard.

doingthisinsteadofwork · 10-04-2009, 04:39 PM

We could run the ball if we had a bit of a passing game.Put Gradkowski in, is there any reason to keep Russell in?What makes you think he'll progress or do any better by keeping him in?Is there really anything positive for him to build off of?I don't see any reasons to keep him in at this point.If anything I think he'll just get worse if its possible. Take Bey out let JLH start untill Schilens comes back and then put JLH back in the slot with Chaz and Murphy starting, involve Miller more.We'll actually be able to have a productive offense with this setup.

Do you think it's fair to say that Cable has lost this team? I understand it's a prodigiously dangerous point to ask so early into the season. I'm just looking for a couple of opinions here from my respected Raiders brethren.

Stash · 10-04-2009, 05:05 PM

It certainly appears he's lost the team. Last season he seemed to light a fire in the team, guys were battling. This season we've gotten progressively worse each week, at this point we aren't even playing competitively. We are just laying down and taking it. If we continue at this pace, I can't imagine Cable finishes the season.

NIN1984 · 10-04-2009, 06:56 PM

This team is a mess, worst than 2006? I think so...

Al Davis is not going to change, he will do this until he dies. He has no idea how to run a team, Lets me honest we got lucky with the Gannon years, that was 2 good years and 2 great years other than that the Raiders have been horrible since like 1995.

we are just going to get another piece of **** coach that Al can control and we will go 4-12 next year.

bernbabybern820 · 10-04-2009, 07:03 PM

The playcalling is so damn vanilla. It's either zone left, zone right, toss left, or toss right on running plays. Can we ever pull a lineman or use misdirection?

On passing downs its either a screen or a pass that has all the receivers going to one side of the field because Russell can't read the whole field.

On defense it's man to man and four down lineman rushing with a safety deep (usually shadowing the receiver that Nnamdi isn't covering) and a linebacker covering the middle.
