Huge turn of events after that TD to put the Raiders on top. Fortunately, they missed that FG at the end of the half. 20-14, Minnesota. Oakland will get the ball in the second half.
Short takes... - that kickoff return for the TD swung momentum. - defense hung in there while the offense struggled until it finally broke - Carr's interceptions were just great plays by Newman. - why Crabtree wasn't targeted more? - the loss of Hudson was felt. - still feel good about this team while it is learning to play together. - Denver lost and look vulnerable, Packers aren't setting the NFL on fire either. - Kansas City looking good or is it Detroit and Denver's ineptitude?
Aldon Smith suspended for 1yr i expect an appeal....like with all these Goodell suspensions and this to be reduced to a few games
I hope so. Would love to see him come back with Oakland regardless, but if he's out for a whole year, that D is screwed.
Seeing how Tracy Porter has played well for Chicago brings me some level of annoyance at the front office.
This new kickoff returner might've just lost his job. Raiders up 17-6 at the half, now up only 17-14, with the Titans taking over in the Oakland red zone.
We're 5-6, and we're playing for something that matters. We have a real shot against KC. Need that W to pull to .500 and put it on a divisional rival.
It's a home game so there's some comfort level. Chiefs have a good defense and their offense is clicking even without Charles.
