True story
A friend of ours just relocated to Napa. We got their wedding invitation in the post last week. It had an Oakland postmark on it. I was ordered to disinfect the post box and leave a note to the post lady not to deliver mail bearing an Oakland postmark in future.
(ok maybe the last bit wasn’t true, but we did consider it)
Blame my wife!
Get this
Last year during the preseason, I was at a family reunion of sorts where there are like a million cousins you’ve never met.
I sat down to eat and this father and son sit down next to me. The dad is wearing a USC hat and the son says, to my horror, “Daddy, can we watch the Raiders play?”
The dad responds cheerfully, “Not until 3:15 son!” Then some old guy wearing a Denver Broncos alumni hat walked in later. I had no idea what to do.

it's into a heavy wind.
you saw the kickoff through the endzone…. but c’mon dude.
I have no idea what just happened.
NO 1 YARD SCREEN PASSES TO KRIS WILSON?
DOES…NOT…COMPUTE…
Banny being Banny.
I am LOVING this whole Marques Hagans package.
When your offense is as bad as ours is, and when Damon Huard is an extremely limited QB, you might as well improvise.
Definitely a positive sign for traditionally conservative Herm.
Hopefully, we can throw in Thigpen next possession.
Positive sign, yes...
…But on 2nd and 15, running it on a QB option when everyone on the Raiders knew he wasn’t passing was a little silly.
But still better than a 2 yard screen pass.

Please, Dear God, just put Thigpen in and don't look back.
I don’t even care if we lose, really, as long as it is with youth.
If we lose with Damon Huard playing absolutely terrible, then I won’t be able to take it.
Herm MUST GO!
This is a joke! Yeah we have young players, but they have played football before. This conservative bullshit is going nowhere ever!
Conservative play calling isn't what is hurting us.
Shit wide receivers who can’t get open, a gaping offensive line with swiss cheese holes, a running back who refuses to cut… Those are just a few of the real problems.
Banny being Banny.
The o-line was
just fine last week this team is going backwards!
Yes
And we hung with them with a chance to win at the end of the game.
Yeah, but with no help from our O-Line.
Our O-Line wasn’t as terrible as last year, sure, but it was still pretty awful. The only one, IIRC, that graded out all that well at all was Branden Albert.
Nice D...
cut the crap on offense. These are the Raiders. I expect 7-6 in about 10 min.
This is the putrid
Faiders, they are kicking our ass in our house!
Best news of the day, as far as I'm concerned.
Anyone is better than Damon Huard, IMO.
At least give him a chance. If he sucks, well, then cut him when Croyle comes back. If not, well we might have found a decent stopgap option next year while we develop a QB.
Relax
If you think LJ could have made that block on the sack last drive then you are dreaming. The playcalling is alright so far, our defense is playing well, and bthe o line is preforming as excpected. Relax and watch the game.
thigpen is a good athAlete

Thigpen
I was horribly unimpressed by Thigpen in the preseason, and while his athleticism and performance in college warrants a chance, does it have to be right now?

Hope Huard is gonna come back in
He will be alright if they let him play a couple series in a row without any subs. Huard’s gonna throw interceptions, but he’s also gonna make plays. Honestly, he’s the best option we’ve got right now.
maybe
but if the raiders get open shots at him all game he won’t make it through a half
by Walter Camp on Sep 14, 2008 12:46 PM CDT up reply actions
Oh, really?
Sorry.
I still think they will resign him longterm (or at least on a Brees-like one-year deal) but if he is available, I would hope we would offer him a very sizable offer, what with our incredibly large cap space (isn’t it like $40 million+) next year.
Keep dreamin
He throws for way to many yards!
Sign that kid
That just caught the ball on the sideline!
None of our WRs are getting open.
I know its hard to see that on CBS’ ZOOM CAM, but none of the WRs are getting open downfield. Darling has been covered on almost every single play.

Oakland's secondary is looking really good.
But to be fair, they are facing the most untalented #2 WR in the NFL, Darling, and Bowe, who looks overwhelmed.

by Official Arrowhead Pride Parade on Sep 14, 2008 12:56 PM CDT reply actions
Unless the question is
who should we cut after once Brodie comes back?
But neither is Damon Huard.
And at least Thigpen, being young and all, has a chance, however miniscule it may be, to be a decent starting QB.
Huard? Nuh-uh.
Yea, Tyler Thigpen isn't looking too hot.
Forcing passes and the like.
But, honestly, our WRs are the ones who aren’t getting open, and I would rather have a QB at least trying to make plays and force balls than one who is simply willing to dump it off or throw it to the first row.
At this point, let’s just put in Hagans and let him run the normal offense. But I would rather have either of them over Huard; much higher chance of making plays.
At the moment...
I feel like we have a better chance to score when they have the ball.
The run defense at the line is not going to be good this year.
I know they’ve looked at least average, but Tank Tyler is going to be a real problem I think.
FUMBLE!

i mean if we're going to invest as much in what we see today
we have to invest almost as much inwhat we saw last week, which was a 4 win team.

UNCREATIVE RUN UP THE GUT!
What happened to the offense in the first drive? At least that was fun to watch.
Herm clearly said, “Well, that didn’t work. RUN UP THE GUT!”

it’s only the 1st half. I can’t really blow off too much considering last week for us :)

Worst... Team... Ever....
I thought Oakland was the worst team in the NFL, but the Chiefs are trying their best to prove me wrong.
How many times will Thigpen throw in to double and triple coverage?
How many times will we run up the gut on 1st down when Oakland has the line stacked?
How many (more) times will MacIntosh get smoked around the outside and force a hurry on our QB?
What happened to that offense we saw in the 1st week of the preseason?
Too many yards
And points, Herm did not like it.
whats the playcalling like?
are we takin shots down field at all? recievers catching their passes? hows bowe? and the oline?

Okay, okay.
I’ve been watching football for a long time. That was really one of the WORST throws I’ve seen in a long time.
Thigpen just turned and threw it DIRECTLY at the defender.

As long as Larry Johnson can get the ball in the endzone on 4 carries (or what should be 4 carries) from the 5.
Honestly, I don’t know which team is worse at this point.

Well, that was nice.
Holy hell.
It was like 3rd-and-15, and they run for 50+yards.
Can’t really blame our D, though, they’ve been out there for like a bazillion drives today.
I can blame our D.
Our D-Line is getting smoked by a very, very poor Oakland O-line. Dorsey and Tyler look like children and McFadden is getting through the line every single time he touches the ball. EVERY time.

Why Is Thigpen Still Playing
He’s fucking horrible. Gripe about Huard as much as you want, but Thigpen has no business playing today
Supporting the lesser of two evils is still supporting something evil.
At the beginning of the morning.
I would have disagreed with you wholeheartedly.
Now, I don’t think so. Thigpen has looked abso-frickin’-lutely terrible thus far.
I wouldn’t even mind Huard coming back in, now.
This is a poorly
Coached team, when we are 0-16 at the end of the season all new coaches!
0-16
Works for me. Then there’s a reason to completely clean house…coaching staff and front office. There will be no excuse for the Chiefs to keep Peterson around after that.
God, I just want him gone sooooo badly.

I cant wait to hear Herm spin this ple of crap
You know what its going to be
these are growing pains. They happen. Get over it. We need to get younger
"All other teams play to win the game!"
We wanted to see if we could actually not get more than 100 yards total offense today. It was an experiment.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
YOU CAN RUN THE BALL IN A DIRECTION OTHER THAN STRAIGHT UP THE GUT INTO THE D-LINE?
ASTONISHING! I WANT THE OAKLAND PLAYBOOK!!!

I cannot believe
Some people bought into Herms bullshit plan!
Carl is to blame too.
Our WRs are pathetic. Worse than last year. Darling is our “speedy #2 guy” and he is slower than Damon Huard.

For a single game, I couldn’t imagine it getting any worse than this.
This is pretty much worse than any single game was last year.

Of course they’ll do that WITH Croyle, too
Just in from Smoke.com

That was a nice little drive.
Doesnt’ even come close to making up for the rest of the game, where a dead cat could have played better, but that at least showed us why he still has a roster.
Still, I think he is the one to go when Croyle comes back.
I especially love the jump pass.
Can we clone Pollard 63 times?

Seriously.
Now that we are simply letting him air it out, we are actually driving.
Not very well, mind you, but a lot better than when we were simply giving him 2nd-and-9 to work with every series after a one-yard run up the middle.
You should hate gonzalez for not looking for the pass
his back was right to it until too late

by oaklandSMASH on Sep 14, 2008 2:57 PM CDT up reply actions
I would say this was a productive game.
We figured out that Thigpen:
- Has happy feet.
- Throws into triple coverage… a lot.
- Is so set in his primary receiver he will throw it to the defensive player closest to his WR.
- He will make wide open players dive to the ground to dig up a ball that is underthrown.
- He cannot throw the ball away. It is physically impossible for him.

I think my 5th graders are reading that book now
it seems like a good one for them now
Too many missed tackles by the safeties?
I think the real issue is that our safeties have to make all the tackles.
