Raiders WR Darrius Heyward-Bey's first career touchdown was the offensive highlight of the 24-7 loss to the Cowboys.
The Raiders moved Trevor Scott to linebacker this week, and it paid off to the tune of two sacks.
Big plays killed the Raiders defense on Thursday as the Cowboys gained 384 of yards on 10 snaps.
The Raiders offense couldn't come up with any big plays of its own to balance things out.
Said Raiders CB Nnamdi Asomugha, "We're all pretty
embarrassed with how the game ended up. Trying to win two games in a
row for us has been like trying to climb Mount Everest or something."
Jean-Jacques Taylor of the Dallas Morning News thinks that the Cowboys victory proved WR Miles Austin is their best weapon.
Cowboys TE Jason Witten's foot injury didn't keep him from grabbing five passes for 107 yards.
The Cowboys allowed 68 yards rushing in the first quarter, but tightened up to allow only 56 yards the rest of the way.
Cowboys LB Anthony Spencer recorded his first two sacks of the season and threw in three quarterback hurries.
The Cowboys biggest offensive concern might be a 4 of 12 third-down conversion rate, which means they've converted only 28.6 percent of them over the last three weeks.
Raiders-Cowboys one-liners

the raiders are a joke. i want to know the thought process behind their game plan
"we are carving them up with the run, Fargas is really having a good day"
"well we better stop that and start throwing then, and when we try to run again lets use a different back"
and can someone please tell me what #53 on oakland was celebrating when he barely got a hand on barber , who was only brought down because of a facemasking penalty.

he probably had an Eagles game flashback.
Saaaayyyy... how many times did that super kicker hit the scoreboard? Anyone? What...?
Dallas beat Oakland. Everybody is supposed to beat those guys. Lots of games still ahead.
Coach Cupcake would do well to keep this mind going into December.

I think you gotta point. It appears the Big TV is a non issue. Saw alotta punts with a lotta hang time yesterday. I think the only way it becomes an issue is if some punter TRIES to make it be one--maybe in a desperatoin move. Seems to be well out of the scope of normal play.

Raiders kicker said he could hit it. When asked if he would he said "No, we have enough problems already."
Considering how far he was kicking I bet he could easily hit it, but why bother? His punts showed off his kicking ability well enough.

NFL should be embarrassed for making us watch this game.
All this gane did for me was reaffirm that McNabb has to go, maybe Reid too.

Ya, everyone except the Fagles.
13-9
Everyone who actually knows a thing about the Eagles knows that they play down to at least one opponent every year. Last year it was the Bengals, and this year it was the Raiders. It's over now, so I shouldn't have to hear it anymore.
Anyway, what was up with Nnamdi getting beat a few times by Miles Austin? Is the guy slacking cause he got paid? The only thing he's living off of is his rep. Honestly, he hasn't shown he deserves the status as the NFL's best CB lately. Maybe the money got to him. I'm a huge Nnamdi fan, ever since he played at Cal, but he's been pretty bad, at least by the standards he set for himself after being thrown at only 58 times in the 2007 and 2008 seasons combined. I know he's capable of doing much better

And that is my point. Everyone was trying to make a big deal out of how the scoreboard was going to mess up games and mess with kickers. Now we have seen kickers have great games and not come close to hitting it. It's a non issue that was made a huge issue by hacks simply because they wanted something bad to say about the Cowboys. I think it's time for them to admit they were wrong, but we all know they won't.
Wow, the "lesser trolls" have come out of the woodwork for this one.
News flash: This story has nothing to do with the Eagles, and the fact that you made it about the Eagles proves two things - you lead sad, shallow, vengeful little lives, and you're still upset about 44-6.
