Raider Raza Buzz: Raiders 22 Cardinals 9

The Raiders are who we thought they were. Despite controlling the game defensively, the offense missed out on too many scoring opportunities with dropped passes, stupid penalties, and turnovers. Most teams aren’t going to let you off the hook…

MVP of the game: Derrick Burgess. He dominated and was all over Leinart all game: batting down a pass causing an INT, 2 Sacs, constant abuse, and psychological trauma. Without Burgess we don’t win this game. He set the tone for the defense for 4 quarters..

Moss made a great Moss-like catch for a TD and came through big time on a lot of 3^rd and longs, but dropped 4 easy passes including one off his fingertips in the end zone. If Moss makes those catches this game is out of reach early and Moss gets offensive player of the week. Instead we have to wonder if Moss is no longer dominant. He set the tone for the offense: played very well but made lots of mistakes and missed out on opportunities..
