Offense does part but defense blows it: Week 2 grades

Great offensive display last week. Horrendous defensive showing. All adds up to the heartbreak which took place in Buffalo.

Campbell had one of his best games as a Raider. 300+ yards and 3 total TD's. He was efficient and made plays when we needed him to. In the second half when the Bills began to stop our run game Campbell stepped up and led the offense to two go ahead 4th quarter drives. Very impressive and I hope he keeps it up.

QB A

Denarius Moore was awesome in his debut and Hagan gave a solid performance. I think Campbell may have found two more receivers to go along with Ford as receivers he trusts enough to throw the ball downfield. Moore made two outstanding catches including a go ahead TD catch in traffic late in the 4th.

Receivers A

The O-Line gave Campbell time in the pocket and did OK blocking for the run game.

O-Line B

McFadden did well in the first half but struggled on the ground in the 2nd. He ended the game with 171 total yards and 2 TD's. One on the ground and one through the air. Bush punched one in in the first half and Reece made a couple nice receptions.

Backfield B

The defense was collectively horrible I won't even bother breaking it down.

Defense F

Hue Jackson called a great game on offense. But it seemed like no matter what Bresnahan tried from Zone, to man, to blitzing nothing worked obviously in the 2nd half. Don't know how much of the blame should be placed on him based on the piss poor execution by the D in the form of blown coverages, tons of missed tackles, a couple dropped picks and some bone headed penalties. But the coach should always shoulder some of the blame.
