Karl Joseph is starting at SS today. I wonder how much of our struggles are attributable to no Aldon Smith. Raiders Top Performers from Pro Football Focus Week 1 Osemele, Carr, Penn, Olawale, Hudson McGill, Irvin, Heeney, Mack, Autry Week 2 Carr, Murray, Olawale, Cooper, Penn Mack, McGee, Ellis, Irvin, Amerson (2 DLs, 2 OLBs) Some obvious patterns: Carr, Olawale getting it done. Mack the only repeat performer on D. Dude needs some help.
Some missed opportunities, but the O is at least possessing the ball for a long time, and the D has come up with a timely TO. Sebastian Janikowski with the most 50+ yard FGs in his career! Raiders up 10-3. BTW, stop holding, O-line.
Defense stepping up - nice stop. We have the ball with 4:00 and change - need to grind it out and add some points.
Offense sputters again. Decent drive, but they just reached the limits of Janikowski's leg. I think they're punting. 2:00+ left.
havent seen the game. just got home but this is the thing i was talking about in my post earlier yestersday. the offense has a chance to put teams down 2 scores and dont. We win anyway but that is still problematic
Wow. Huge ending - Carrie with the defensive play to break up the pass. Raiders win 17-10 (NO OFFENSE in the second half, defense surrendered like 210 yards in the second half, too; maybe more). Ugly win, but we're 2-1.
