The Raiders screwed up big time by bringinging that red head McKenzie dude...
lol calm down man. Reggie knows what he's doing. dude is highly respected in the league. the way we're doing things now in Oakland is better than how we were doing them with Al. I will say I miss Hue's play calling and blocking scheme. I'm not a Knapp fan, and that was the one questionable move Reggie/DA made this off season

with that being said, the offense wasn't that bad considering we had 2 of our best WRs out of the game

we had 2 blocked punts and lost by 8 points. relax Tony

lol at blaming the poor back up long snapper. Does anyone realize that if you didn't have to punt the ball away so many times his name wouldn't even be coming up?
come on bro... getting punts blocked is HUGE. you know how many yards we have the Chargers with those blocked punts? it doesn't matter how many times we punt the ball... you shouldn't get that shit blocked. I know Gaithel is a LB, and not the long snapper, so I'm not gonna be mad at him. I'm just saying those are game changers right there. you should know that better than anybody. you guys has the #1 offense and defense a couple years ago and missed the playoffs because of your special teams. shit... we beat you guys in Oakland 2 years ago because of a blocked punt! blocked punts are HUGE

I gotta see what everyone is talking about saying DA looked lost. I was at the game so I don't know, bout to watch it on my DVR right now

on a sidenote... the game was fucking crackin. the tailgate was so lit yesterday. maybe I just missed the O.co parking lot, but I can't remember it ever being so crackin. took us 2 hours to get from my job in downtown Oakland until we finally parked

If Reggie knew what he was doing, he would've kept Hue Jackson in as head coach and let him continue to run the offense.

There's no way you can feel that we're doing better now without Al... The Raiders didn't score a TD until like there was a minute left in the game. That's not Al Davis/Raider football... If Al was still here, Hue would've still been here and the Raiders would have scored more points. All those BS checkdown passes to McFadden is going to get us nowhere and McFadden may end up getting hurt because the Raiders are using him too much.

Just read somewhere that Hue believed that Mark Davis fired him. Idiot... as soon as his dad passes, he starts doing stupid shhh.

Whoever fired Hue is responsible for this BS.

Meta, you're my dog bro but we gotta keep it real man. It's not looking good because we can't even score points. You were at the game so you saw that BS up close. We're in trouble if all we can do is run or throw it to McFadden all day. There is clearly something wrong with this "West Coast Offense"

DHB had his best season and looked like a decent receiver in Hugh's offense.

^Dennis Allen hired him. Y'all hear about Dennis Allen saying that they always practice with the backup long snapper and then when they interviewed the long snapper he said the opposite and that he hasn't done it since high school. Lol.

I'm re-watching the game now... Carson Palmer had a good game. the play calling wasn't great, but not as bad as some of yall are making it out to be. our receivers need to hold on to the ball

I'm not saying we would have won for sure had it not been for the shitty snaps by Gaithel, but we would have had a much better chance.

our defense looks good too. we only let them get in the end zone one time.... considering the field position they had all night, that's pretty fucking good. my biggest complaint with the D is that we couldn't get enough pressure on Rivers

Lol @ expecting to be good when you did nothing to improve a bad team when every other team in your division got way better. It's gonna take a couple of drafts nit wits.

they weren't a bad team last year, they were average and one game away from the playoffs week 17

we didn't have our best offensive player for most of the year last season... you big dummy. that alone is enough to make the team better

I thought the play calling was terrible. McFadden is going to get injured or worn down by week 3 if Knapp keeps that up.
