The Oakland Raiders travelled to Cincinnati and predictably got beat by the Bengals. After giving up 34 points, the Raiders have now allowed 169 points in the past four games. There’s nothing new about the Silver and Black getting blown out on the road and giving up more than 30 points, but they are finding new ways to lose big every week. The recipe for Oakland’s losses has been slightly different each week and has rotated from issue to issue. Once the Raiders think they have corrected one, a different problem emerges. After the game against the Bengals, there are ...

It's bad enough when you are a mediocre team. We can acknowledge that with the 2012 Oakland Raiders. And the Raiders fell behind 24-0 largely due to their own deficiencies as a football team.But having scored 10 unanswered points, the Raiders were driving to further cut into the Cincinnati Bengals' lead when a clipping penalty was called on Mike Brisiel. Instead of a first down at around the Cincinnati 30, it was 1st-and-20 at midfield.Almost on cue, Carson Palmer was stripped, Cincinnati recovered and scored a field goal. They would win 34-10, but not before another call was made depriving ...
The Oakland Raiders took on the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium in NFL Week 12 action, and were simply embarrassed by the Bengals, 34-10. Carson Palmer's return to Cincinnati didn't exactly go as planned. The loss moves the Raiders to 3-8 and essentially dooms the season. While not everything was bad for the Raiders, it's hard to find the silver lining here. Let examine the Raiders final postgame grades and analysis after another disappointing loss. Begin Slideshow
Sunday's Week 12 showdown between the Oakland Raiders and Cincinnati Bengals has plenty of appeal despite both teams flying in under the radar. There are also some intriguing storylines for fans to follow, including the return of Carson Palmer to Cincinnati, where he began his career with Marvin Lewis and the Bengals. But more important than any of Sunday's storylines, are the keys to this AFC clash.Here we break down some of the most vital factors in determining who comes out on top this weekend. Marcel ReeceRaiders' backup running back Marcel Reece will need to find success early on against Cincinnati's defense ...
Oakland Raiders running back Marcel Reece is probable for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals despite his hamstring/quad injury, according to ESPN. With that said, here are three reasons why fantasy owners must start the running back despite his injury issues. No Darren McFaddenAccording to the official Oakland Raiders Twitter feed, running back Darren McFadden is listed as inactive for today's game against Cincinnati.
Raiders Inactives: QB Terrelle Pryor, DT Richard Seymour, RBs Mike Goodson and Darren McFadden, T Willie Smith, OL Lucas Nix, DE J. Crawford— OAKLAND RAIDERS (@RAIDERS) November 25, 2012
With McFadden on the sideline, all doors should be open for ...
Oakland Raiders' running back Marcel Reece came through with an excellent performance against the New Orleans Saints, but the rest of his teammates unfortunately did not follow suit. While the prospects for the Raiders winning several more games before the year is over seem bleak, Reece’s outlook as a productive fantasy option is looking bright. Following injuries to Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson last week, Reece took over the starting spot in the backfield and led the team in both rushing and receiving yards. This week, CBS Sacramento’s Ryan Leong reported both backs will be sidelined again. Reece gained 103 ...
A disheartening three-game losing streak has relegated the Oakland Raiders to a position of spoiler and the 2012 season has officially shifted the team mindset into that of rebuilding mode. In their losses to Tampa Bay, at Baltimore, and against New Orleans, the Raiders allowed an unsightly 145 points. That is 45 points per game and if they continue along that pace, this team will threaten the 1981 Baltimore Colts in terms of points allowed in a 16 game season (the Colts surrendered 533). This week, a lot of the emotion that has been seemingly lacking in the last couple of ...
This is obviously not how Reggie McKenzie and Dennis Allen hoped their first seasons would go. The Oakland Raiders are 3-7 and in third place in the AFC West. The offense is inconsistent, and the defense is a disaster. Neither McKenzie nor Allen will use the salary cap, lack of draft picks or injuries as an excuse. It’s good for them to have that mentality during the season before turning a critical eye on the roster in the offseason. They might not want to use it as an excuse, but this is a team undergoing a major rebuild. About half ...
Carson Palmer is set to take on his former team, the Cincinnati Bengals, in what could be an emotional matchup for many involved.It's been over a year since Palmer and the Bengals officially parted ways, but the impact he had on the franchise cannot be understated.He lead them to an 11-5 record in his second season as the starting QB, a mark unheard of for a team that had previously toiled in mediocrity for many years.But Palmer is with the Oakland Raiders now, and although his team sits at 3-7, you can bet they'll be ready to go this weekend. ...
