What are you going to do with Campbell? He’s a better passer and takes care of the ball. You can’t make Palmer your #2, then you have Pryor as well.

Here’s what’s going to happen; You will miss the playoffs, of course, Hugh will have to stick with Palmer next year, Pugh will get fired around game 6, and Campbell will be your QB. You could’ve just as easily been below average, or maybe put it on your defense that they need to step up, and worst case you’re in the running for a long term solution at QB. All while NOT giving up draft picks. BRILLIANT!

Um, while you just keep talking I’ll tell you what is going to happen. Jason Campbell is a free agent after this year and wont be with the team next year unless he knows he’s the number 2 and gets paid like one.

next.

That’s all on Hue.

On the flip side the defense blew it big time and Chuck Bresnahan should be fired, let alone even hired to begin with. I remember wanting to puke when I heard he was returning. He can’t seem to make the proper adjustments as the game goes on. Look at the Bills game, the second Denver game, and yesterday’s Lions game for great examples.

What killed me yesterday, is that Megatron was left running free in mismatches all over the middle of the field far too often. The to let a team with no time outs drive the ball the entire length of the field to win the game in little over two minutes? That’s just embarrassing as well as pathetic.

Maybe trade for a Kyle Orton (from a divisional rival?)

Robert Griffith III in 2012?

All are better calculated decisions than you DA coach made by getting Palmer for a 1st and a 2nd.

Or you could’ve had nearly any #2 in the league for a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Instead your DA coach goes for a, past his prime, QB who hasn’t thrown a ball in 12 months and all for a team that clearly isn’t playoff ready. Except for yesterday, Plamer has put up 3rd string type numbers and you guys still think it was a good move. What are you going to do with Campbell? He’s a better passer and takes care of the ball. You can’t make Palmer your #2, then you have Pryor as well.

What I wouldn’t do to be the GM for 1 day

Some people just don’t get it. They could have played Martyball and run it up the gut three times and punted. Hue went for the Jugular, and I respect that. You live by the sword and you die by the sword. That is the Raider way!

When did he make excuses? He simply said, “Our guy didn’t make the play. Their guy did and that’s why they won.”

Nobody is making excuses…

you could talk about losing a game with 13 point lead with 6 minutes left

you could talk about us being on Detroit’s 21 yard line and Hue Jackson going for on 4th down instead of taking the FG

you could talk about Tennessee, Denver and the Jets losing, and, we let the Lions waltz for 99 yards with 2 min left

or you could talk about Bresnahan calling a defense that puts our MLB in deep coverage on Calvin Johnson(!)

the bottom line is…this team is having to come back from …its owner dying, its players getting relatives shot, a multitude of injuries, bad, long term expensive contracts (Seymour, Routt, Huff, Kelly and DHB) and bad trades.

its having to come back from nearly 8 years of horrific coaching turnover and game management.

We could have had Calvin Johnson, yet he went 9 catches for 241 yards and 2 TD’s…. what did our first round pick do…he had his best game
yet dropped a key pass, then Schilens dropped another.

This team has to get a GM and get the parts in place. We went for a QB and crapped out, mortgaging the future,
but what choice did we have? There was no GM to make the key decision, nor an efficient scouting system that could work, because the coaching turnover lent us no identity?

The Niners did it the simple way – play defense, run the ball and don’t turn it over. This element of a defensive minded head coach could help turn this around, but were swimming up stream. Simply not enough play makers MAKING PLAYS in key situations. – had Schillens made the catch late, that’d put Sebass in for a higher percentage 54 yard FG instead of a 64 yd FG that was partially blocked anyway.

This team remains a work in progress that has to get an identity. Tim Tebow proved one thing, a man who is a winner can change the complexion of an entire team. They must search high and low for players with those intangibles; leadership, determination, perseverance.
They have been losing for too long, and it has created habitual deficiencies they havent learned to overcome.

What other QB was available, moron?

Kyle Boller wasn’t leading this team anywhere.

Maybe trade for a Kyle Orton (from a divisional rival?)

Robert Griffith III in 2012?

What QB was available? Nobody is laughing at us, we made a calculated decision based on the severity of the situation – there will be 22 other teams at home during the playoffs at well – Every team is trying to compete. Why don’t you consider that some teams will make desperate moves to off set a very bad situation (owner dying, etc)

its funny how they don’t show up to their own teams blogs when they lose.

Just lose baby!

Hue spent Saturday afternoon getting a mani and a pedi in the East Bay, as featured in the latest issue of ESPN. Maybe he should have been meeting with the defense to talk about its two-minute defense.

BTW – kudo’s to the o-line yesterday. They were outweighed by a considerable margin yet they kept one of the most talented defensive lines in the league pretty much in check.

————————————————

Lighten up Francis.. this game in truth didn’t really mean that much to the playoff chances… especially considering the Broncos, Titans, and Jets lost. Should they have probably won? Yes. But it didn’t hurt their playoff chances that much.. their playoff chances were best by winning their last two and Denver losing to KC, which considering Orton probably has a big chip on his shoulder right now, may not be such a bad bet. Whether the Raiders can hold up their end of the bargain by beating those same Chiefs, and by beating a suddenly resurgent SD offense. If Breshnahan continues to cover #1 receivers with Romac and Boyd, my guess is probably not… but I’m not going to abandon ship at this point. Hell, it has been 10 years since I even was remotely excited in week 16 of a season.. I’ll take my little hope and run with it.

Hue should have got “DEFENSIVE” when he had the Lions pinned down inside the 5 yard line, late in the game, with a 6 point lead.

Same ole Raiders…they do everything….BUT WIN THE GAME!!!

Gruden for Raiders coach 2012.

Sure, what did he do the last 6 weeks though? haven’t the faiders been shut-out twice on 6 weeks? And you think Carson is good based on what he did against Detroit?

Try some sense and average some games instead of blindly saying you’d take that based on one performance. Carson’s not going to be in the league for longer than 2 more full seasons and he was never worth a 1st AND 2nd round pick. Hugh acted like he was the sole piece needed and he choked. Now you trolls have 3 QB’s and your best one is the one that got hurt mid-season. What are you going to do with him next year? The other 3 teams in the west will continue to get better and the faiders will continue to fade. You have no draft and no future in Palmer. Pull you head out. Granted being a Jokeland fan must be hard with the ridiculous decisions in the last 20 years but try to look outside the pit you call raider nation. Everyone’s laughing at you clowns.

So, now that we traded the farm for Carson does that mean that Pryor is never going to see the field in the next 4-5 years? (I don’t think that was the plan when we took him with a 3 in the supplemental draft, pre-carson. Man, I hate having Carson on the team.)
============================

You do realize that Carson completed 32 of 40 passes…right? No interceptions, a passer rating of 111, and a TD with 367 total yards for the day. I’d take that ANY day!!!

Then on the last play of the game, the defense stayed in the same coverage and didn’t double Megatron as he sat there all lone deep in the endzone…uncovered.

Bresnahan…the final Al Davis era hold over. Bresnahan should be shown the door by lunchtime today! That defensive scheme was pathetic at best.
