The Raiders navigated their way through the toughest part of their schedule despite not having their projected starting lineup on the field for an entire game. Things are about to change in that regard, to the Raiders’ benefit. Right offensive tackle Trent Brown lasted all of three plays in the Raiders’ regular-season opener before he
Best is yet to come for 4-3 Raiders
In Q2 and Waller just dropped a pass on 3rd & 8 he really should have caught.
We are really missing Kolton Miller – shows how good he has quietly become. Interior O line playing outstandingly well.
D – just don’t know what is coming from play to play…. just sacked Herbert (Nassib).
Entertaining, old school style AFC West game going on here – what’s not to like?
Doesn’t help our D when the Zebras miss such an obvious block on 3rd and 16 but seriously, can anybody explain why Erick Harris stepped back and inside to double cover the post as Keenan Allen flew across the zone for a TD? Seriously?
Now Carr fumbles again late in a half is that 5 now : Jeez 17 – 14 down at the half!
So, we will get the ball first in the second half. We need a TD to have a chance of winning. We have let the Chargers back in and our D is looking like the version that played the Bucs on two downs out of three so we need to set the tone and be ahead by more than a FG.
Nail biting times…
What an ending!!! A true AFL finish. I almost switched away a la Heidi game. Glad I didn’t. 🙂
