In a span of eight days, Jason Campbell put up both the worst performance and the best performance of his five year career.
Campbell registered a whopping 10.7 quarterback rating and looked terrible in the Oakland Raiders humiliating loss to the San Francisco 49ers. It appeared as though the Raiders would be unable to win without the scrappy Bruce Gradkowski at quarterback and had some fans calling for third string quarterback Kyle Boller to get the start against the Denver Broncos if Gradkowski still couldn't go.
Then, on a day when nothing could go wrong for the Raiders, even Jason Campbell was ...
Something is very wrong in Dallas. Aside from being 1-5, now the Cowboys have to adjust to life without Tony Romo for the next six to eight weeks after a hit from the Giants' Michael Boley broke his collarbone last night. And so, Wade Phillips and company must rely on 38-year-old Jon Kitna to right the sinking ship that is the Cowboys offense. Given Kitna's age and the inability of a playmaker to step up on offense, the chances of a turnaround are slim to none. But that's not the only story for week seven that I will recap. Brett ...
The Oakland Raiders return home to take on the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8. The Raiders will attempt to do something that they have had difficulty with, win back-to-back games. The Raiders stand at 3-4 and in second place in the AFC West.
In Week 7, the Raiders embarrassed the Denver Broncos 59-14 in front of their home crowd. The 59 points scored by the Raiders was the most for a single game in franchise history. The Raiders' 45-point route of the Broncos began on the opening drive of the game when tight end Zach Miller caught a 43-yard touchdown pass from Jason ...
The Oakland Raiders played the game of the year in their 59-14 blowout of the hapless Denver Broncos Sunday afternoon. But does this dominating performance mean the Raiders have turned the corner? Maybe, but first, Darren McFadden’s career day at Invesco Field:
The two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up from Arkansas ran wild over the Broncos defense. The fourth-overall pick ran 165 yards and scored four touchdowns to tie a team record—shared by Art Powell, Marcus Allen and Harvey Williams—but can the Raiders come to expect consistent production from No. 20 for the remainder of the season?
“I think that’s why we drafted him,” ...
The Oakland Raiders played ball like a "hurricane" and swept through the playing field, landing time and time again in the endzone.
I don't care what the naysayers are saying. A new trend has been established. There will be no reversals.
Some of the moves were so smooth that I had to play the re-plays on www.raiders.com over and over again to see who had the ball. I am a novice at paying attention to the minute details of the game.
Now is the time, however, to begin to pay attention to every detail of each game in the future.
Even the experts had a ...
"Who are You?", so sang Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend of The Who during the half-time show at the last Superbowl. It has been made famous by CSI but perhaps the Oakland Raiders could adopt it as their new theme?
Because when it come to the Silver-and-Black in 2010, I feel we are all entitled to ask "tell me, who are you? 'Cause I really wanna know"
Is this the team that played near perfect football against Denver, scoring eight TDs along the way and amassing 500+ yards of offense? Or are they the team that could only score three FGs and a pitiful ...
With a mind blowing victory over the Denver Broncos people still will not give the Raiders any credit. Don't get me wrong there has been a lot of compliments on behalf of the Raiders for there victory over the Broncos, but at the same time there is a under tone to it that makes me mad. It is not a fluke to beat a NFL team 59 to 14, it proves that one team showed up to play, and one team didn't. It happens all over the NFL every week, it happened in the New Orleans game against the Cleveland Browns, as the Browns went into ...
When you have been down and out for a while, it takes a pinch on the arm to make certain you are not dreaming.
The game in which the Oakland Raiders stomped the Denver Broncos will be remembered as the Hundredfold Bowl.
Folks are smiling and puzzled as they greet you in the Raider Nation. The self-esteem of the Raider Nation just went up on the scale.
Darren McFadden played with a lot of heart and soul. It was teamwork out there.
Everyone was finally using a synergistic model that worked. They were tuned in to each other. There was harmony and a ...
This week in the NFL was crazy and that means one thing, millions of happy fantasy football players. This week featured a QB, RB and WR who all toppled 40 points and many fell just below that standard too. So let's jump in and take a look at the top performers of Week 7 in the NFL. Just try not to get into a bar fight on your way to the next slide (See Kenny Britt).Begin Slideshow
What was thought to be a defensive struggle turned out to be the greatest game in Oakland Raider history! Darren McFadden carried the ball 16 times for 196 total yards and four TDs.
