An undrafted rookie starts at left tackle and Philip Rivers is hardly touched. Ends the game with a clean jersey, despite playing on the infield half the game.
Can’t wait to hear Raider fans’ excuses for that.

No excuses here. There were some Keystone Kops moments in that game. The defense played hard, but special teams looked like San Diego’s did a couple of years ago.

I give a lot of credit where it’s due – Norv Turner. Norv owns the Raiders: 8-3 as the Chargers’ coach, 5-1 in Oakland.

If Norval only had to play Oakland that might matter, but there are 14 other teams he has to face, and Turner is the master of diminishing returns.

Harris played great, and the Chargers defense played exceptionally well. Awesome start to the season.

I prayed the Chargers wouldn’t sign this guy and now that he’s got the money bet on seeing the Gaither that played (or didn’t play) for the Ravens.

Another reason why the SD regime has got to go.

Yeah, pump your chest out Dolt fans. I’ll give Harris credit. The kid held up well and did it without much help. Other than that the Raiders controlled the line of scrimmage, just like I knew they would. 32 rush yards for a 1.6 yard average for the Dolts. The Raiders outgained them overall too. The special teams play doomed us, but San Diego got outplayed in the other two phases.

Unfortunately, that third phase is pretty important. I’m worried about our special teams, but not our offense (with a full set of receivers)and defense. Oh yeah, Palmer played pretty damn well too.

No excuses here, Dumbolt. My Raiders flat out sucked, and I am ashamed. I really hoped we would be a different team, but so far, NOT!!! Since the Raiders can’t even beat You guys, please,for the sake of California, BEAT THE BRONCOS. Manning must be stopped.

Glad Harris stood his ground. It was ugly but a W is a W.

Special teams is what helped a lot with a back up long snapper in for the Raiders. Defense made adjustments at the half and DMC was not really a factor in the second half.

5 FG’s is what I have a problem with. Offense did some good work but when some of those FG’s were that close to the end zone, they need to score TD’s. Hopefully address that issue and doesn’t become a problem.

Other than that…GO BOLTS!

New year. Same old Raiders.

They can’t win a game that they should have been able to win, at home. At home! In the (in a sarcastic tone) “black hole”.

You closet Darth Vader wannabes better hope that your long snapper is back soon. You can see what happened to the Chargers two seasons ago, when David Binn was lost for the year.

“ripped the Raiders apart”, huh really? Philip Rivers played good I don’t know if he ripped the Raiders apart. He only had 1 touchdown. Special teams and the defense won that game. Harris played pretty good no sacks because of him. Offense needs to play better!!
