Raiders Fly Away in Baltimore

The Raiders fell short of Amazing last week, almost pulling through on a comeback, in which, they were down 18 at beginning of 4th quarter. Carson Palmer threw 3TD passes, in just the fourth qtr. alone. This Raiders team is gellin right now, and if they get going, we will see some high scores.

Look for Baltimore (6-2) to make a statement early on in this game, but watch Ray Lewis, Be a emmotional player as always. We know the Ravens will take the hit. Both QBs have been liberal with the ball as of late, what we use to call butterfingers. Carson has a QB rating of 85.6, while Flacco on the other hand has an 85.0 passer rating. I think the Raiders will show their beast Marcel Reece. He will show up big today and bring the Raiders to Victory!

KEY PLAYERS TO WATCH: Marcel Reece and Denarius Moore


A Look Back to this week last year!

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- With an efficient offense led by Carson Palmer, an opportunistic defense that stepped up in the final minutes and a clutch kick by Sebastian Janikowski, the Oakland Raiders turned a somber mood into a celebratory one.

Janikowski kicked a 43-yard field goal on the last play as the Raiders scored the final 13 points after wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey was knocked out and hospitalized by a scary hit to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 34-31 on Sunday.

''You put a lot of hard work, blood sweat and tears into trying to build a championship team, and one of your guys goes down, especially in a situation like that, it's hard to keep your focus,'' coach Dennis Allen said. ''But I thought our guys did an outstanding job in getting their focus back, coming back and executing, and winning a game in the fourth quarter.''

There was a pall over the stadium early in the fourth quarter when Heyward-Bey was knocked unconscious by a helmet-to-helmet hit in the end zone by Steelers safety Ryan Mundy that was not called a penalty by the replacement officials. Heyward-Bey was taken to the hospital with a concussion and neck injury. But Allen said he was able to move his extremities, which was a welcome sign for the Raiders (1-2).



The team said he was in stable condition and will stay in the hospital overnight for observation.
Palmer then threw his third touchdown pass and Janikowski kicked two field goals to beat the Steelers (1-2) and get the Raiders on track after two losses to open the season.

''Any time they take one of your brothers out, you have to retaliate and get them back,'' safety Michael Huff said. ''Obviously not in an illegal way or anything like that. We wanted to go out and get the win for him because he couldn't finish it.''

10 Things We Learned from San Diego Chargers' Win

By Ross Warner (Featured Columnist)
It wasn’t pretty but it was a win. Specifically, a win against the Oakland Raiders, and there have been seasons where that was the only win that mattered.

Given Chargers fans' specific concerns going into the game, there was a lot to be pleased with after the game’s conclusion. A team and a season are both works in progress. Like a horse heading into the home stretch, a team wants to heat up at just the right time. The Bolts have never been able to do that. That’s why fans are so skeptical and subsequently frustrated.

However, last night was a good start. There were more reasons to be optimistic in an “ugly” game than in a “fast” 4-1 start like a year ago. There were still flaws galore which Bolt-heads lamented and which ended up dooming the team in the end.

It’s a new season and the sample size is only a single game. Let’s look at 10 things we learned, if only for one night.

MEMO TO REG: PRYOR CAN STAY

TERELLE PRYOR IS SHAKING THINGS UP IN THE EAST BAY

Kirby Lee-US PRESSWIRE

Oakland has a new favorite QB on the Roster ready to step up into the game any moment he is called upon. I want to see Terelle Pryor and Carson Palmer work as together in a duo for the Raiders. It will bring pro-style gamble as well, but what if all teams started doing this. Imagine how many great plays we aren't seeing because of player fatigue. Running Backs go in and out of the game frequently, so why don't teams utilize every position in the same fashion.

I Hope to see a lot of Terelle Pryor in the flat catching screen passes, that he then launches downfield to DHB or Street-Rod. Or in some other innovative offensive scheme that incorporates both in the backfield. Because these two have completely different sets of skills. CP3 has the sound mechanics, the precise accuracy, and the will to win. Many think the last one can't be taught, and I agree. TP6 has the will to win that some may say it's enough will to need no skill.

Dennis, whatever you decide to do with this team will be fine, just know that this group can dominate if used in the correct manner. Everything is where it is, at this exact moment, for a specific reason. And this group is here to wow NFL Fans for the first time since the "greatest show on turf."

25 Under-the-Radar Rookies Who Are Quietly Dominating the 2012 Preseason

25 Under-the-Radar Rookies Who Are Quietly Dominating the 2012 Preseason

Andrew Luck has lived up to the hype. Robert Griffin III has had his ups and downs. Ryan Tannehill earned a starting gig earlier than expected. Even Justin Blackmon has looked good despite missing some camp because of contract issues.

We are not here to talk about those guys—the ones who have been in the limelight or close to it. Here are 25 relatively unheralded rookies who have made an impression this preseason.


Rod Streater

Organized team activities were all about Juron Criner. Everything since then has been Rod Streater, at least as far as rookie wide receivers go.

Streater has sizzled thus far this preseason, catching 13 passes for 108 yards. He has yet to make a huge play—his longest catch is for 18 yards—but the undrafted rookie has been the surprise of camp for the Raiders, who find themselves with a perpetual glut of talent at the receiver position even after trading Louis Murphy away.

Streater and Criner sit behind Darrius Heyward-Bey, Denarius Moore and Jacoby Ford on the depth chart right now—assuming all three can stay healthy for more than 30 seconds at a time—but Streater has made a strong push to get on the field as the team's fourth wideout.

Not too shabby for an undrafted rookie out of Temple.

Denarius Moore Highlights

Denarius Moore Highlights Denarius was a key addition to the Raiders roster last year. He made the plays we would expect from a #1 wideout. I am not to stoked with the Raiders releasing Jason Campbell, in exchange for Carson Palmer. I am expecting Terrelle Pryor to step up and grab the reigns.
