Embarrassed: Week 7 grades

Amid all the drama and hype surrounding the QB situation the Raiders forgot there was a football game scheduled for Sunday. At least that's the way things appeared against the Chiefs. The Raiders were outhustled, outplayed, outcoached, and just flat out embarassed by a lowly Chief team.

The passing game was horrendous and along with Hue's gameplan and play-calling possibly the biggest reason for the defeat. You're not going to win many games while throwing 6 picks including 2 pick 6's. The QB's played horrible, and the receivers minus DHB played uninspired.

Pass Offense F

The run game did alright despite losing McFadden early in the 1st quarter. Bush ran for 99 on 17 carries but couldn't punch it in on 4 straight tries on the goal line. Taiwan Jones added 18 yards on 3 carries.

Rush Offense C

Matt Cassell was held to 160 yards and two picks. Van Dyke had the best game of his young career with a pick. Free agent pick up N'Dukwe added an INT of his own.

Pass Defense B+

The run defense gave up two TD's with Battle leading the way with 76 yards on 16 carries. KC picked up 139 on the ground averaging 3.6 yard per rush. Despite the two TD's the run defense played very well considering the Raider QB's kept the Raider D on the field for large periods of time.

Run Defense B-

Hue Jackson in my opinion had his worse day as the HC and play-caller. His decisions on the teams lone goal-line offensive stand was head scratching to say the least. Not to mention his decision to have Boller throw down the field from the get go. Nor his strange trick/QB sneak with Pryor call on 3rd and 1 which caused a penalty which then led to Boller's first pick 6. Hue's decision making left much to be desired.
