Raider Raza Buzz: Raiders 21 Cleveland 24

Tale of two halves

-IS MOSS INJURED???? or has he lost his speed and his skills are deteriorating. He missed two jump balls, was a step behind a deep pass and took many plays off. Seriously Moss it’s hard to take you serious when you lethargically stroll into the huddle just as they are about to break and head into the play. His reputation will merit another chance and the benefit of the doubt… but remember this when the Raiders were getting beat in the 4th quarter in the Superbowl Jerry Rice was still playing hard and fighting, Moss no longer fights for ball or plays aggressive and it shows...


-BAD COACHING One of the coaches upstairs seriously dropped the ball by not challenging the spot on the Curry play in the 4th quarter. Somebody has to be held accountable!!!! I had a good angle and I would bet anything that he crosses the first down by at least a yard. SEE THE PLAY HERE

-Even though COOPER got flagged for excessive aggression and force, I'm not mad and I'll take that penalty every week

-IDEA: Lets get Art Shell, Fred Biletnikof, Tom Walsh, Jerry Pouter and Dr. Phil all together in a small room.

-Pass protection improved slightly, but has a long way to go.

-George Atkinson said, regarding the excuse that the Defense played well but got tired because the offense is so inept, “Jack (Tatum) and I did not get tired and we played Defense, Special Teams, Kick Return Coverage and I returned Punts, cause I loved to play…”

-Our kickers both made TD saving tackles. I bet you our kickers will kick your kickers ass in any bar in the country.

-PONDERISM Speaking of Sea Bass the guy had a great off season shedding some weight and with his renewed focus has been extremely accurate in preseason and regular season yet we choose to go for it behind a weak line, instead of kicking a field goal for a tie in the 4th quarter.

-I did like the deep pass by Curry, since he is an ex-QB but he underthrew it probably as a result of being cold. I hope we run this play again!!

-POSITIVES Nnamdi came through with 2 picks, Jordan had a great day with a long TD, Burgess got 2 sacs, Walter came out alive, Super Sam recover a fumble into the endzone, a sellout crowd (not really but who is counting)

-FROM THE STANDS: Gallery cut your #%&* hair maybe then you can make a #%&* Block.

-Fargas is fast (much faster than Jordan) but runs and leaps recklessly and thus injury prone.

-It was uninspiring to see #36 Gibson lead us out the tunnel.

-On Burgess second sac the nobody bothered blocking Burgess. Run Run Jones could have made the sac on that play.
-Our Kickers will kick your kickers @$$!!!!
