    Saw the highlights - he looks good. I won't second guess Cooper, but I was settled on Williams. He and Mack would've killed people.

    An INT on your first pass, Matty?

    Can't give the team the ball on the 1. That's a TD - Raiders in a hole.

    I think the Vikings finished that quarter with 0 yards but 7 points. Turnovers a B.

    Minnesota put together a decent drive, missed a FG.

    BTW, I wonder whether kickers are going to be tired from kicking these longer PATs - and whether that will result in more missed FGs AND PATs.

    Tough day at the office for Blair Walsh: 2/3 on PATs, 0/3 on FGs.

    With the fourth string QB in, the Raiders run it to 14 penalties, 106 yards.

    And an INT seals the deal. Raiders lose, look bad. First unit wasn't nearly so bad, mind you.

    Game Takes...

    - Richardson looked ordinary even on his "good" runs and Dyer did not make impact. Broadcast booth felt Atkinson was better than both. They could be right.
    - First team offense and defense will be fine. Dan Williams and Justin Ellis will stuff the run.
    - Liked Carr's fire on that drop by Roberts. Rook can't separate and no extra gear on the fly.
    - Hayden still working on his game. All corners give up stuff but I hope he tightens things up. I don't want a Phillip Buchanon Redux.
    - Rivera made a block? Millen and Brown were aghast.
    - No Crab on the menu tonight.
    - Defense caused two turnovers in the second half...good pressure on the QB. Williams acquitted himself somewhat.
    - Bergstrom could find himself off the 53 if he keeps up the shoddy play.
    - Still a two horse race for second string QB though I still give the edge to McGloin who cost the team the win.
    - Agree on Brown's dismay as to why throw a short pass in the flat to a WR when you are second and over twenty...
    - Good to see Reece get some touches.
    - Overall team letdown after a high last week.
    - Depth on the D-line...like it.
    - Neiron Ball...rooting for him to make the squad.
    - That kicker not called C-Bass should find another team when he gets cut.
    - Butler apparently upset that Cooper was drafted and Crabtree was inked. Really?
    - Saw Williams wreck havoc with the Jets...QB hurries, hits and a safety. Don't want to go there [re: Russell and Okafor].

    Lines of the night:
    On the subject of receivers not finding a spot to "sit down" in the zone and exposing themselves to hits...
    Brown: I call those "headache" plays.
    Millen: I call them "opportunities." [as to laying out someone]

    Millen: Tonight the "Blair Walsh Project" was a failure.
    Beth Mowins: Well played...well played.

    Brown: [on the Cooper 40 yard reception ruled as inbounds] It's a new day for the Raiders.

    Side Note: February 2016... I hope that the Hall of Fame voting panel puts a Snake in.
