Raiders vs. Nawlins Game Thread!

[raiderfreak7]

Interested to see McFadden 'healthy' and JaMarcus back 'home'. Good luck to ya Tom Cable. Hopefully you have some magic, bud.

Oh yeah, let's kick those fucking 'Aints ass.

[raiderfreak7]

Burgess is out.

So are Colston and Shockey for the Saints.

[hawaiianboy]

TVU here: http://myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=20863&part=sports


PS: Make sure to download the newest version of TVU, it seems to be mucho betto

[RaiderIVlife]

I'll say this, Tom Cable certainly "looks" the part of Raider Head Coach.

I'm VERY interested to see our offensive play calling and the overall effort of the team.....

[raiderfreak7]

The link on this page is working, too.

www.channelsurfing.net

[CrossBones]

Anybody have a working link yet?Yeah I do...Sunday ----> Ticket ;)

That was a long two weeks. Let's get this thing together today. Good luck to Tom Calbe -- he's gonna need it.

And fuck ESPN. That piece on Al Davis was disgraceful if you ask me. Using graphics to make him look more like an old feeble man than ever was weak. Jeez.

GO RAIDERS!!!!

[Madturk]

TVU link not working

[hawaiianboy]

TVU went down, and that crappy Ustream has no sound...

[raiderfreak7]

TVU link down already. F*ck.

[Madturk]

ugh what an awful stream

[Raiders757]

TVU was working for me, but cut off just now. Showing the test pattern of doom.


This sucks!

[RaiderIVlife]

Man, Gibril Wilson has easily been our best FA aquisition thus far.

[london raider 2]

No problems with national tv over here = nice return by Higgins

[RenoRaider]

would of been a td if he hit miller

[london raider 2]

Cable looks like something on Ice Road Truckers - nice 3rd down coversion to Curry

[RenoRaider]

Fargas looking good

[Raiders757]

Well, it looks lie our boys are getting off to a great start.

[RenoRaider]

still can't get td's in the redzone

[london raider 2]

Nearly picked off in end zone - field goal good

[Limee]

Typically good start which stalls in the red zone.

[Madturk]

Ugh another stalled drive in the red zone

[raiderfreak7]

Is the UStream really choppy for anyone else?

[RaiderIVlife]

Yeah, that seam route to Miller was a missed opportunity.

[Raiders757]

Damn redzone offense. I'm tired of coning away with only three points all the time.

[JohnQ]

Anyone else think that was PI on JLH ?

[london raider 2]

Interesting stat about scoring on last 4 opening drives but all field goals

[Madturk]

Stream very choppy and no sound

[Raiders757]

Is the UStream really choppy for anyone else?


Is that the channelsurfing.net stream?

Mine is realyl choppy with no sound. I have KSFO running in the background. At leat that's working worth a damn today.

[Raiders757]

We can't have a linebacker on Bush when he's lined up wide.

[hawaiianboy]

http://www.justin.tv/widgets/jtv_live.r9763.swf?channel=lakersdm

Better than the ustream

[CrossBones]

WTF these TE's are wide open! Fuck.

[hawaiianboy]

That's two holding calls on you #70.... :D

[Raiders757]

http://www.justin.tv/widgets/jtv_live.r9763.swf?channel=lakersdm

Better than the ustream

Thanks for the link.

It looks like it's a web cam of someones TV set. Still, it has sound, and run a little smoother.

[london raider 2]

Whats with the 3=4 D

[RaiderIVlife]

Should be a HOLD in Nawlins...

[Raiders757]

Damn, does Brees ever miss a pass?

[RenoRaider]

no good!!!

[RenoRaider]

caught a break there, brees was shredding us

[Raiders757]

Ha Ha!! N.O. FG kicking game still stinks.

[Madturk]

Dodged a bullet there. I guess we're going to give Brees the underneath stuff all day

[Limee]

quack quack oops. FG missed.

It's embarrassing enough Howard's dad played for the Chiefs do they need to keep bringing it up.

[RaiderIVlife]

Dman TE's are wide open. Yikes.

[RaiderIVlife]

BTW, that open field tackle by Howard on Bush was pretty amazing.

[london raider 2]

A Walker sighting

[raiderfreak7]

Does anyone get a basketball game on the Justin.tv link?

[Limee]

Has Lester put stickum on Curry's gloves?

[Madturk]

Curry making some clutch catches today

[hawaiianboy]

Curry is alliiive....

Finally.

[raiderfreak7]

Our passing game is so much better when Ronald is playing well.

[hawaiianboy]

Does anyone get a basketball game on the Justin.tv link?


Push the play arrow

[Madturk]

Brees already has 88 yards passing

[raiderfreak7]

Push the play arrow

LOL.

I did and it was showing a basketball game with the Rich Gannon in the backround. Exited out and restarted it. Works much better than the Ustream

Thanks HB.

[Raiders757]

Damn, it just freaked out on me, showed some lady reporter, came back to th egame, and now is realyl echos like crazy. It's like my digital delay effect on my guitar. Totaly whacked.

[Raiders757]

Damn.

10/10

[raiderfreak7]

No pass rush. Is Rob going to send any more than 4?

F*ck. Drew Brees is 10/10 already.

[Raiders757]

Looking really soft on defense. I'm getting worried.

[Madturk]

What's with the 3 man fronts?

[raiderfreak7]

Minnesota up 2-0 against Detroit.:D

[Raiders757]

What's with the 3 man fronts?

The Breese factor? :confused:

[RaiderIVlife]

We are getting sliced up.

[doingthisinsteadofwork]

I wonder if Cable has the guts to call out Rob Ryan for using prevent defense again.

[raiderfreak7]

Man, watching Drew Brees sucks.

[Raiders757]

Son of a &^%&!!!

This is just looking too easy for Brees.

[Raiders757]

We can't afford to lose Wilson.

[RFID]

Minnesota up 2-0 against Detroit.:D

An insurmountable deficit for the Lions.

[Limee]

Has Ryan regained control of the defense?

[Madturk]

Defense is going to be spent by the 4th at this rate. Ryan needs to send someone in just to try to get Brees out of his rhythm

[hawaiianboy]

I think Rich Gannon wants to have sex with Brees...

[RaiderIVlife]

Gibril Wilson might be injured.

What's this going to be, a 20 play drive?

[RFID]

Swear it looked like he got back in time...

[RaiderIVlife]

Trying to tackle that FB would not be too fun.

[Madturk]

Fuck, Edwards has to use his head there

[Raiders757]

Swear it looked like he got back in time...

I agree. Maybe he didn't get far enough back.

[hawaiianboy]

That was like watching our 2001-2002 offense....


Brees gets rid of the ball too quickly to really blitz him a lot... The D-line is going to have to step up...

[RaiderIVlife]

Our defense will be gassed by the middle of the 3rd at this rate.

[Madturk]

We need to eat some clock here. Our defense was on the field for most of the 2nd Q

[RFID]

Insanity is doing the same thing time and time again while somehow expecting a different result.

Has Ryan not yet learned that we can just rush four, not get any pressure whatsoever and hope to win. If we don't blitz Brees, he may not miss a pass this whole game.

[JohnQ]

nice 9 minute drive.

sheesh.

actually more like 11 wasn't it?

[RFID]

Good decision to take off by JRuss. As Harlan stated, he needs to do more of that in order to make the defense account for him.

[RaiderIVlife]

Anyone else think that Rich Gannon is making too much of an effort to not be biased in favor of the Raiders? Sheesh, every time he broadcasts a Raider game, it seems like he hates them !!!!

PS - Somone remind Rob Ryan that it's OK to actually HIT Drew Brees.

[Raiders757]

Good decision to take off by JRuss. As Harlan stated, he needs to do more of that in order to make the defense account for him.

I agree.

It would be nice to see some designed plays that take advantage of that as well.

Hell, i'm even for the "Wildcat" :D

[doingthisinsteadofwork]

Ryan likes to call the same plays over and over again.

[RaiderIVlife]

I'm trying to figure out why Cable called a timeout before the 2 minute warning? If we don't convert this next 3rd down, NO will have plenty of time.

[Raiders757]

Damn it!!!!

We needed that FG.

[RFID]

Well that was a buzzkill. Can one really be too mad at Seabass for missing a 57 yarder....

[Madturk]

Russell looked like he could run for that first down. He also seems too zeroed in on one target.

I think I would have punted there especially the way Brees is carving us up.

[RaiderIVlife]

Terrible sequence for us. Terrible.

[london raider 2]

Brees is going to have a career day at this rate

[hawaiianboy]

What's up with all the zone defense???

[RaiderIVlife]

Again, that timeout before the 2 minute warning made zero sense to me. Stupid in fact.

[Madturk]

That soft zone with absolutely no pass rush is killing us.

Reminds me of the soft defense Denver played against Gannon on MNF a few years back.

[RFID]

Russell looked like he could run for that first down. He also seems too zeroed in on one target.

I think I would have punted there especially the way Brees is carving us up.

Agree, agree and agree. However, on the last point, I at least like Cable's aggressiveness. It'd be nice if some of that would rub off on Rob Ryan instead of being content to let Brees sit in the pocket all day and carve us up like a roast.

[RaiderIVlife]

WTF, this is like a 7 on 7 passing drill.

[Limee]

Incomplete!

[RFID]

Finally we make Brees miss even though we still seem to like to cover Bush with a LB. Dangerous imo.

[RaiderIVlife]

We simply cannot fall behind 14-3 at the half. Must find a way to hold this to 3....

[Raiders757]

That was a huge penalty. Lets hope for another missed FG from NO.

[hawaiianboy]

I'll HAPPILY take a 10-3 game at halftime...

[JohnQ]

Agree, agree and agree. However, on the last point, I at least like Cable's aggressiveness. It'd be nice if some of that would rub off on Rob Ryan instead of being content to let Brees sit in the pocket all day and carve us up like a roast.


But I thought AD was running the D ! :pound:



::ducks::

[JohnQ]

very nice nice nice.

And to the side line with JLH !!!

[hawaiianboy]

Man Higgins can fly...

[RFID]

Very nice run by JLH. We needed that. He's got some wheels.

[JohnQ]

Dirty C sucking ref.

[RFID]

Looks like JRuss injured the DB with that pass! :pound:

[Madturk]

Started off like a nice drive

[Raiders757]

Damn, we have a shot at a FG, and what happens? Flags fly.

Now Russell seems to be getting rushed and happy feet.

[raiderfreak7]

Might as well kick it again.

[RaiderIVlife]

BTW, Ashley Lelie is soft and I don't like how he plays.

[RFID]

Wide left. Damnit....

[RaiderIVlife]

I think we should go for it on 4th and then call a TO..

[raiderfreak7]

Wow. Gave up another play and almost gives them another shot at 3.

[RFID]

Dodged another bullet there.

[RaiderIVlife]

I'm not at all agreeing with Cable's decisions today. Not at all.

[hawaiianboy]

All things considered, being down only 10-3 at halftime is damn good considering how their O has outplayed our D...

[007]

We're just not very good.

Struggle passing the ball, struggle defending the pass, and cant run against solid teams.

[Madturk]

LIke Gannon said, 3 points ain't going to cut it against NO's offense. I think we're fortunate to be down by only 7 at this point.

[RaiderIVlife]

How we only down by 7?

[Raiders757]

Yea, it seems more of the same on offense. Ryan needs to find an aswer, so the offense can have more possesions and get the running game cranked up.

[RaiderIVlife]

By the way, the offensive line is playing extremely well in PassPro today.

I think we have to get back to running the football more, obviously.

[JohnQ]

All things considered, being down only 10-3 at halftime is damn good considering how their O has outplayed our D...

Not really disagreeing but how many times have we said that ?

Then when it comes time to sack up the other team usually does.And leaves
us saying how we played 3/4 of a good game.

[Blackened]

I was out for a bit. How has the mix between runs and passes been? Just have been able to see little bit of the second half. Looks like Russel is still staring down receivers tipping off the DB's. Other than that I missed most of the first half.

10-3 same old sputtering offense eh? Maybe we should of picked up pass happy Martz when we had the chance.

[Raiders757]

3-2

Is that the Tigers and Twins score, or is that the Vikes and Lions?

:pound:

[poptart]

The only way we win this game is if we come up with a turnover-or-two in the 2nd half and score by defense or special teams.

Not holdin' my breath.

[raiderfreak7]

I'm not at all agreeing with Cable's decisions today. Not at all.

The missed field goals I can deal with. He's giving his players chances to put points on the board and Janikowski can make those kicks IMO.

I didn't like the timeout before the 2 minute warning. Seriously, what does this accomplish? I guess you could argue he was giving the defense more of a rest (as they were on the field the whole quarter), but that's not a good enough reason to give NO 40 extra seconds should our offense stall.

I'd like to come out next half with some blitzes from Rob. Sure, we say it every week, but Brees has f*cking forever to throw the ball. I'll take our chances with a blitz.

I'd also like to see some more of Fargas and McFadden. Go back to our bread and butter and run the fucking ball.

[london raider 2]

If NO has similar time of possesion this half can see them getting another 20 points

[Blackened]

Go back to our bread and butter and run the fucking ball.


So the Raiders have been pass happy?

[hawaiianboy]

Not really disagreeing but how many times have we said that ?

Then when it comes time to sack up the other team usually does.And leaves
us saying how we played 3/4 of a good game.



I don't know, it seems that we've been in the opposite situation lately... Outplay the hell out of the Bills and Chargers only to have piddly leads at halftime... Maybe I'm optimistic because I expected the Saints to be halfway to 40 with that offense they have... ::shrug::

[Limee]

I can't believe it is only 10-3.

If that useless kicker could only make 55+yard FGs consistently it would be a 1pt game. :eek:

[RaiderIVlife]

Yes, we are going to need a few explosion plays by the defense and special teams to have any shot in this game.

[Raiders757]

On the bright side, that bowl of bacon and eggs on the Jack in the Box commercials look tasty. I think i'm going to break out the old cast iron skillet after the game. Bacon, eggs, and beer. Yummy!

[Raiders757]

Damn, Russell is lucky he hasn't been picked off. NO has had at least four chances so far.

[Madturk]

I hate that 3rd down call, why not a quick little roll out to the FB like Brees did earlier. We have no semblance of a running game today, not good.

[Limee]

This could get very ugly in the second half.

[RaiderIVlife]

Nice 3 and out by the offense.

[RaiderIVlife]

I would have ran it again on 3rd & 2.

[Raiders757]

Damn. Ryan has no answer. This going to get ugly.

[Madturk]

We have absolutely no answer on defense

[RaiderIVlife]

Very smart of NO to get their running game going as the pass appears to be there for them all day anyway.

[Raiders757]

Stick a fork into us. Ryan has no answer.

[Madturk]

How come we can't execute a play like that in the red zone? That's about all she wrote barring a miracle.

[RaiderIVlife]

This is like fucking Chinese Water torture.

[london raider 2]

Stick a fork into us. Ryan has no answer.

Cant we stick a fork in Ryan instead

[Blackened]

Well we still look like dog shit.

[Raiders757]

Cant we stick a fork in Ryan instead

Sure, that sounds better anyway. I don't enjoy being stuck with forks.

[JohnQ]

Nice 6 min drive.We really need to get a TD here.Not points.A Godamn TD.because that
fucking d aint going to do us any favors.

[RaiderIVlife]

It might "only" be a 14 point deficit, but it feels like it's 40 points.

[Madturk]

So much for the Javon Walker experiment. He'll go down as one of the most expensive busts in NFL history.

[london raider 2]

It might "only" be a 14 point deficit, but it feels like it's 40 points.

Give it time .....

[Blackened]

Had to happen sooner or later.

[JohnQ]

Nice 6 min drive.We really need to get a TD here.Not points.A Godamn TD.because that
fucking d aint going to do us any favors.


nevermind.

It's Ground Hog day.

[Limee]

Goodnight.

Fire Cable.

[CrossBones]

Fuck this team.

[Raiders757]

Nice missed tackle.

[Blackened]

Saint's on their way to a 40 burger. Time to go to the ground war to gain some respectability back if possible.

[RaiderIVlife]

Wow, that was an incredibly bad play.

[Madturk]

At least they didn't cock tease us today, this one's over early.

[london raider 2]

Good job Colston & Shockey arent playing!

[RaiderIVlife]

Think that Lane Kiffin is laughing?

[Blackened]

The dark days were supposed to end right? Fuck!

[Madturk]

I wish we'd just shit can Ryan and his Mickey Mouse schemes. Not that it would have mattered as our offense has sucked ass all game, but 5 years of this shit is enough already.

[Jokerman]

So much for the Javon Walker experiment. He'll go down as one of the most expensive busts in NFL history.

And he tried to tell us he would be, offered to give money back, and we talked him in to staying . . . .WOW

[RaiderIVlife]

This game is over, but it will be interesting to see how the players respond in the effort department....

[RaiderIVlife]

Dman, McFadden is quick.

[Raiders757]

Think that Lane Kiffin is laughing?

I don't think he is. He liked his players, and seems to wish them well. I think he's probably glad he's not on the sideline and having to face the media trying to hide his feeling towards Ryan's defense again.

[Madturk]

Only positive this game has been the play of our OL. Gallery has been stellar this season IMO and deserving of pro bowl recognition

[Blackened]

Ground game cable fuck the pass.

[JohnQ]

At least they didn't cock tease us today, this one's over early.


rep.

made me LMFAO.

And I need a good laugh right now.That and a beer or 10!!

[RaiderIVlife]

If we are going to throw 4 yard passes in traffic, why not just run the fucking ball?

[Limee]

At least they aren't going to break our hearts in the 4th quarter.

[Raiders757]

rep.

made me LMFAO.

And I need a good laugh right now.That and a beer or 10!!

I have entire fridge full of beer. I could use some help right about now. How about 10 or 15 beers?

[Madturk]

Michael Huff officially = Bust

[JohnQ]

I have entire fridge full of beer. I could use some help right about now. How about 10 or 15 beers?

Would be glad to help as soon as I finish this IPA that's been in the fridge
calling me.

Sailor jerry might be talking to me later too !!:shakehead:

[Limee]

If our UK commentators call them the Wembley bound Saints once more I may need to buy a new TV.

[Limee]

I feel sick.

[JohnQ]

:raiderbag:

It just keeps getting worse.

[Limee]

We can't stop them with 12.

[london raider 2]

Is Ryan getting booed?

[Madturk]

Stream switched the game, how prophetic.

[Raiders757]

Damn, they changed over to the Jets game! WTF!!!!

[JohnQ]

Maybe if Retard Rob Ryan (RRR) wasn't trying to be so cute.Dumb the D scheme a little we wouldn't make those bonehead mistakes.



RRR*
*tm

[RFID]

Stream switched the game, how prophetic.

good. i couldn't take any more, but i couldn't make myself turn away.

[Blackened]

This is brutal. I guess Cable and Knapp have to do the old man's bidding job security. The passing game is horrible Russel and the receiver's just have no sync together at all. Russel also seems to force balls into a completely covered WR to often. However we have no receiver's that can create any seperation so meh....blah blah blah Go Raiders!

[Langlier]

was mercifully cut off on my tv... i'll comment in the post game... blah

[Limee]

That about sums it up.

Schilens is at least showing something.

[SoCalRaider]

So much for the Javon Walker experiment. He'll go down as one of the most expensive busts in NFL history.

We tend to have a lot of those.... JaMarcus will be another if he doesn't get some accuracy on those chucks....

[london raider 2]

A sack - wow

[RaiderIVlife]

A sack - wow

By whom? CBS switched the feed and I don't even have the desire to click on the radio.

[london raider 2]

By whom? CBS switched the feed and I don't even have the desire to click on the radio.

Tommy Kelly with about 3 mins to play.

Saints have pulled Brees - 26/30 3tds 300 +

[1D4]

Thank God we got rid of that stupid moron Kiffin things might have went bad.:shakehead:

[RaiderIVlife]

Thank God we got rid of that stupid moron Kiffin things might have went bad.:shakehead:

Our performance today was about the worst possible scenario for the Raiders. You have to assume that the players were more or less divided on the issue of Kiffin, but they were at least "competitive" with him at the helm.

I hope the wheels don't completely fall off the rest of the way.

[JohnQ]

Please define completely.

[RaiderIVlife]

Please define completely.

Finger point, lack of effort, regression by Russell, DMC, increased media scrutiny, etc. etc. etc.

[poptart]

I think we saw today why Kiffin was always so uber-conservative.

Basically, we just can't do DICK on offense.
As soon as we're down by more than one score ... it's pretty much game over.

[Raiders757]

I think I saw today the reason I should consider going to the NASCAR race next week, instead of watching the Raiders live game stream on my PC.

Maybe i'll mow my lawn one last time, or wash my truck.

Sadly I just can't help but watch my beloved Raiders. I can't stand it. If they are playing, I have to see the game. I don't care how bad it gets. The cool thing is, that if I go to Martinsville, there is a Mark Martin merchandise trailer run by Raiders fans. They always have the game on satellite, so after the race, I can watch the game while the parking lot clears.

[Raider Bill]

I think we saw today why Kiffin was always so uber-conservative.

Basically, we just can't do DICK on offense.
As soon as we're down by more than one score ... it's pretty much game over.

We witnessed what happens when you "unleash" Russell :shakehead:

[S and B Executioner]

Please define completely.

The wheels completely fell off 5 years ago...now the rims have fallen off and the axle's are next.......

[GRaider]

I wish we'd just shit can Ryan and his Mickey Mouse schemes. Not that it would have mattered as our offense has sucked ass all game, but 5 years of this shit is enough already.


How is it that RRR was kept and Lorenzo Ward was let go?:confused:

[YodasBeast]

Because Ward wasn't a suckup? I dunno....
