Massacre on South Beach

Not much to be said about last weeks game. Just pure utter destruction at the hands of the Dolphins. The Raiders were completely dominated in every facet of the game.

The offense was terrible. Bush couldn't get anything started and they only rushed for 46 on the ground. Palmer had one of his worst games as a Raider completing less than half his passes throwing a pick and his TD's and big completions coming when the game was already decided.

The receivers and TE's dropped some passes at critical moments. While the line failed to open up holes for Bush and protect Palmer. The team was also 2 of 11 on 3rd downs and that just isn't going to cut it.

The defense was torched by the run. Making Reggie Bush look like the perennial pro-bowler he was supposed to be coming out of USC. While Daniel Thomas had his absolute best day as a pro against our soft D. The defense couldn't get a stop on 3rd down to save it's life. And logic says if you can't stop a team on 3rd down while not being able to convert then you're definitely going to lose the game and the Raiders were destroyed.

There's not much to be said about this game other than it was a total disaster and it's apparent that all these injuries are starting to hurt this team.
