Four TD's in the first five games?... Bah... I think this is the week we break out somewhat and match that TD total in one game...

Andrew Walter will have his first 300 yard game... 20/29 3TDs/1 INT 302 yards

Ronald Curry... 6 catches 88 yards and two TD's

Zach Crockett... 10 carries/ 52 yards and 1 TD :eek:



Raiders 31 Cards 20 :D

Jesus Christ, too early in the morning for that. :barf:
 
Liberty is such a great thing...

Anqwan Baldin leads the NFL in receptions... Imagine what it will be when Fitzgerald completes the duo... The littlebirds offence seems to have a great future with Leinart...

We should win this game with a little luck. This considering The Raiders wont implode, cos we all know they do it often.

I wonder what Mr. Walsh is gonna call. Woodpeckers defence is not that good, but that wasn't the case for Cleveland and they silenced our defence in the second half of that game. Do we expect the same RUN-RUN-PASS? wwith an ocassional PASS-RUN-PASS, and when the score puts us in danger then PASS-PASS-PASS when they know we don't have another option?

How good is mixing plays, I always liked the approach of those coaches who alñways make the enemy guess what kinda play they're gonna call. In you face football is OK when you have the tools, otherwise it's only a predictable formula, relatively easy to stop.

The Raiders defence, which I considered a somewhat overestimated, is allowing too many points and total yards for being a good unit. Of course you can blamer the offence, but guess what, Those really good defences in the NFL can operate without much help from their own attacks. Baltimore was the ultimate example. They won the SB with a very bad offence. Of course, were not in the category of the ravens defence, so our defence is second level then. We need more than that to win games. Particularly, Rob Ryan should think about adjusting better. His unit starts games in a decent fashion, then collapse in the second half. I don't think they get tired.
 
You know, I didn't even notice the ass until you homos pointed it out. Thanks, I needed that. Bblluuuuuggggg. Khofff! Khafff! Of course I was dumb enough to go back and look. "What are they talking about?"

I'll say our execution last week gave me some hope for this week. Our blocking looked good both passing and rushing. Great? No. But our missed assignments were down. Granted, we false started so much, but that's not likely to happen as often a the HOT (unless Chad is back out there at RT).

I think the defense can put up a performance similar to what they did against Cleveland. Three turnovers. I don't know if they can cash one in for a score, but if they can cover better on special teams than they did against Cleveland, it will all be on the offense.

In fact, I think this is the week the offense gets rolling. This is a good defense to do it against. They have very specific strengths and weaknesses. I fully expect the gameplan to address them.

I worry most that we'll be up at halftime like we were against Cleveland. Like Gruden, this coaching staff doesn't think it needs to adjust the gameplan when they're up. Ummm, guys? The opponent is going to change their defense. Try to guess how they'll adjust, and prepare something in case they're successful. Just a thought.
 
Baltimore was the ultimate example. They won the SB with a very bad offence.

That's not true at all. They had an effective running game to chew up clock and move them down the field. While it is true they didn't score a lot of touchdowns (especially in the early-to-mid part of the season), they were rather effective at running the ball with Jamal Lewis between the 20's.

HB that is one disturbing avatar.


I figure that if we can't win a game with the spirit of the great John Matuzak's white ass looking out for us, we'll never win one...
 
Rich Gannon may be the best color man on any announcing team already... I'm very impressed with his observations... Not many of these guys bother to go into what both the safety and QB are seeing on the same given play...

KC throwing on first downs are doing a good job keeping the Bolts D off balance...
 
Is LT hurt? Only 5 carries for 4 yards.

I'd like to see Walter break out a bit and have his stats show it. I'd also like to see Huff do something to get me excited. F*ck, I don't care if its a pick, strip, or just blows someone up. I wanna start getting excited about him.

I agree. It's nice listening to someone who actually knows something about what he's talking about. SD creeping back into it. Really impressed with Gradkowsi today. The guy's playing like he's been in the league 10 years.

I think we get off the schneid today.

Hey there!:) ...


Kinda figured you would... so did Norris, he gave me mad rep for finding him his new screen saver...
 
Charles Woodson has a sack and an INT return for a TD today... and a couple of interference calls to boot.... Glad to see him finally doing well though...
 
I've been watching the Carolina/Cinci game today, for the most part. I also saw Steve Smith go up for a jump ball in triple coverage and come down with it, which--in turn--just made me all that more fussy at Moss.

Grrr!
 
Gabriel playing well for the Pats.

Anyone see his TD? Fought hard and came back to the ball for a nice TD grab.

Id trade Moss and Porter for Gabriel and a first day pick. Seriously.
