Defenseless!

Where to start on another embarrassing week of Raider football? This past game don't deserve to be graded so I'll just rant for a while. Just an absolutely embarrassing display against an inept Denver team with one of the if not the weakest QB in the league.

I'll start with the defense. They did alright against the hapless Denver offense in the first half and then got totally owned in the second half. They had absolutely no clue how to stop that college play Denver ran multiple times with a lot of success.

And the penalties. God the penalties. As a Raider fan I've come accustomed to tons of penalty yardage but I can't get used to the brainless penalties we commit year after year. Grabbing the face mask of a running back who's already stuffed, pushing a media darling QB on the sidelines etc. are just inexcusable and boneheaded. Not much to say but poor play, poor coaching, and completely pathetic discipline. Bill Callahan said it best "We are the dumbest team in America.".

Now the offense showed some signs of life. Palmer showed flashes of what he's going to be capable of bringing to this team. Bush was solid and had a good game. I had no problem with the play but I question the play calling.

I feel we got too pass happy. We had a 10 point lead and we should've been pounding the ball with Bush and controlling the clock which has been our bread and butter for the past couple years. I don't know why we're getting away from that now. Especially with a QB that's still learning the offense and getting acclimated to the players.

Just a horrible day for Raider nation. We've basically got blown out by team weak teams in our last two. The team especially the D should be hanging their hands in shame right now.
