NY Jets @ OAKLAND
Sunday, October 25, 2009 at 1:26PM This season (for my Raiders) has left a lot to be desired. The Oakland Raiders are currently sitting at two wins and four losses. In all fairness, one win was to the Kansas City Chiefs (who may be picking in the top 3, in the first round, of the draft), and the other was to the poorly playing Philadelphia Eagles. I have to be honest. It's not like the wins we've had are big one. The losses we've had have been huge.
Now, currently looking at 00:34 in the first quarter, the Raiders just had an awesome drive to the endzone, but turned it over. It's the Jet's ball... and they faked a punt for a 16-yard first down run. Ugh! It's a sad season for Oakland Raider fans.
We have too many young guys, in too many positions, without the veterans to teach and lead the team. We also have a quarterback that is too green, too unexperienced to lead the offense of this team. We have too many turnovers. In my opinion, there really needs to be a reworking of the offensive line and quarterback positions, in the off-season.
I can't complain about the defense, however. In the last few games, the defense has really stacked up against some of the better offenses in football, and have stopped them. With players like Asomugha, Branch, Scott, and Huff, I am sure that they will continue to keep scoring low (as long as JaMarcus Russell can lessen his turnovers).
Just when I thought there was some hope, and that our offense was going to pull something together with a QB swap, we pulled it all together for a shut out! Yay! Good job Raiders! 38 - 0 Jets. Ugh! Here's looking towards next season.
