The 1st team defense sucked!

I think the first half was more a sign of the Raiders' offense being for real than anything. I'll be seriously worried if Dallas does the same, but one half against a team with a good o-line and elite talent in skill positions can be deceiving. Look at what the Patriots did to Pittsburgh in the AFC Championship and you can see any great D can get manhandled on any given night. The Raiders don't have Tom Brady but I would say their talent level isn't that far off and could very easily be more explosive this year.
 
It's not the defense's fault.
The Raiders showed plays we had not seen before.
On D.Capers radio show, he said two long runs were on plays that they had not showed in practice.
How can you defend that????
It was like cheating!
The nerve of those guys using new plays.
Sheesh.
lol:

You have a point here ..... Collins does have some weapons at his disposal and in that first half it looked like vintage Kerry Collins ... move the ball between the 20's and throw interceptions in the red zone . Take away one Great play by Doug Gabriel and he would have had THREE red zone ints .
That offense does have the potential to put up points in a hurry if they limit their turnovers .

OMG! One long play was just a simple cutback against the block just like we are supposed to run....Denver does this and we just saw them the week before

On another long play it was simply a block over Wong and split Payne like a cheese sandwich. Tell me he's not already making excuses.
 
I just want to see a pass rush on Saturday night. I want to see Bledsoe get sacked every once in awhile. I want to see Bledsoe have to hurry his throws every once in awhile. I want to hear Babin's and Peek's names called by the announcers every once in awhile.

That's not too much to ask.

But if I hear the announcers constantly saying "Too much time!" or "Look at the time!" when Dallas has the ball . . .:bomb:
