Yeah but when you're head coach, you gotta step in at some point, just can't let your defense get ran through like a tramp. That was pathetic, they had two weeks to prepare and gave up 300 yards on the ground. Hue is worried about signing TJ and all that but he better get our defense fixed and the penalties too. It almost looks like he's losing control.
we didn't need another fuckin receiver. that was dumb ass hell to go out there and sign tj but it is what it is.
i read somewhere that the reason DHB didn't play a lot was cuz of the packages we were using were more suitable for other receivers. if thats not a big pile of shit i don't know what is. you got a kid who has struggled in his first 2 years but has improved greatly this year, and has been our best receiver thus far, and is playing with confidence and you bench him? hopefully this doesn't fuck up DHB confidence cuz i wanna see him succeed.
hue better get his head right cuz the blame is all on him if shit goes bad. they were talking hella shit bout hue on 92.5 or whatever yesterday, how he needs to concentrate more on being a coach then doing interviews and they're right, he acts like he is a movie star, all we need is a head coach

all I know is this team better get it together by Thursday night!! we MUST win.. team needs to get that hunger back and play as a TEAM.. yes Jason Campbell *our offensive captain and leader of tha squad* went down.. doesnt mean they gotta give up tha fight.. keep it pushin .. earn that paycheck! and it doesn't help that D-Mac *a player who can single-handedly win games for us* is down and out as well, we basically haven't seen him on tha field for 3 consecutive games *chiefs game didnt count, he only played for a couple mins* it's just been a big mess lately.. we need a healthy McFadden back asap.. he truly is a game changer and would help relieve Palmer a lot.. Hue is trying to get all pass happy with a QB we just got in here.. wtf.. Bush aint no McFadden but we do got a speedy elusive Taiwan Jones who can change tha pace if needed.. use ur brain Hue! fuck..
Coach of the year willl be harbaugh.
Anyways, Thursday is rapidly approaching. Hue & Carson need to get it the fuck together. Phyllis Rivers is gonna be tryin to beast out there to break their losing skid. I knew the season would come down to the San Diego game with playoffs on the line, but I had always figured it was gonna be the last game in Oakland

he did make some impressive throws, and got us some TD passes that we would never see from J. Campbell.. but its obvious tha timing isn't all there yet.. and thats why he will get INTs as well.. expected from a guy who hasn't been on tha squad all season.. but yes he's def. a veteran and knows what he's doing.. as long as we can keep scoring points and our D steps up and shuts opposing offenses down we should be fine
right on
and your right about that, we are def. a run 1st team.. Idk why Hue is getting all pass happy now that Carson is here.. we gotta pound tha rock with Bush and change pace with Taiwan Jones.. its that simple!! DMac is a beast but man he's injury prone! I just hope we beat SD tomoro and we should have DMac back after that hopefully and continue with tha Ws

Palmer showed he can still rip it. warner impressed
People are focusing on the three interceptions the Raiders’ Carson Palmer threw Sunday against the Broncos, but that is understandable considering it was his first start in the NFL in 10 months. There is still some rust, he only knows about 70 percent of the playbook and most importantly, his timing with his receivers is still a little off.
I thought Palmer played very well, showing off his arm strength and also making a nice touch pass to Jacoby Ford on his third touchdown. The second, a 40-yard bullet down the seam to a well-covered Marcel Reece, was the best pass I have seen live in quite some time.
I talked to NFL Network analyst Kurt Warner, one of the best quarterbacks ever, to see what he thought about Palmer’s play and he agreed with me.
“I thought he looked really good,” Warner said. “You throw out the interceptions and he made some great throws and showed he was in command. He really improved from the previous game against the Chiefs, and it’s extremely impressive what he’s been able to do considering he was on his couch a month ago.”
The timing issue — like Palmer’s third interception where he threw high for Denarius Moore and it was tipped up — is not all on Palmer, Warner said.
“How fast he can get comfortable with those receivers depends on them, too,” Warner said. “As talented as those young receivers are that they have, they are not very refined in the way they run routes. I was lucky to have Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt, who were so precise in their routes that you knew exactly where they were going to be.”
Which is why Warner thinks Raiders coach Hue Jackson and Palmer brought in veteran T.J. Houshmandzadeh last week.
“Carson and TJ have a really good feel for each other,” Warner said. “Now they can have the great speed on the outside with the young guys and the safety net inside in TJ, kind of like Tom Brady has with Wes Welker.”
The Raiders opened things up last week, but that was also caused by the absence of injured running back Darren McFadden.
“I am not sure what they are going to be when McFadden comes back,” Warner said. “But getting Carson gives them options — now they’re a two-headed monster. Jason Campbell was very solid, but he was more about feeding the running game and playing off that; now the Raiders can beat you with the passing game.”

all that talk about palmer being old, having too many injuries and not being able to throw the ball the same was a bunch of bullshit. his arm strength looks as good as it's ever been, it's definitely not a problem. we're gonna put some points up, but the defense is what worries me. a lot of injuries, guys have been playing hurt. a lot of them don't really get to practice during the week, since they're trying to recover. rivers might light us up, but he's done that before and we still beat them. it's all about stopping the run. if we do we win, if not, ffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu
