So am I the only one laughing as the Raider fans think they are on the road to the playoffs after their first pre-season game? I have seen a couple of boards and listened to some co-workers who think they looked great last night. I might have been watching a different game, but didnt the Eagles first team basically get escorted into the end-zone by the Raiders starting D? Did the Eagles first team even break a sweat? And Brooks got picked on a duck he threw in his third set of downs (Gained -5 yards in sets 1 and 2). Yes he managed to get a TD thanks to Garcia throwing a duck and Jordan getting a decent run against part 1st, part 2nd stringers. The TD pass was actually high and the guy was lucky to come down with it. Then it became a special teams game as neither offense could move. And the Eagles backups decided that it would be funner to just drop the ball and the ground instead of holding it. I might not be an astute observer of quality football, but I don't think the Raiders are headed for more than a 5 and 11 season with that offense and defense.

Faiders a contender???

Well, if the Raiders can convince their opponents to only bring out their 3rd stringers, they can go 16-0! :lol:
When it was each team's defacto starters, the Raiders absolutely sucked eggs. Lamont Jordan got like -6 yards rushing on 6 carries to start and the Eagles ran all over them, with a running back that's not as good as L.T.

Yeah, the Raiders first teams offense and defense stunk. Even Lamont Jordan said they had a alot of work to do. The Raiders got a score with their first offense against the Eagles 2nd string defense.
Their scrubs played pretty well but all that means is that their scrubs are better than Phillys scrubs.

Galley looked like a bullfighter - "OLE" .....
The rest of the Faider OL was just as pathetic. Their DL got no push, and the Iggles easily chewed through the Choketown front 7.
I saw a KFFL blurb that showed the Raiders #1 offense was held to MINUS 3 yards vs. the Philly #1 defense.
Brooks looked average - nothing special. And they better hope he stays healthy, because Walter has pocket lock and happy feet, and Tui is just crappy.
The only thing the Raiders have a chance to win is the Grand Prize in the Brady Quinn sweepstakes.

Brooks also threw a pick against the Eagles 2nd string defense.
For those that think nothing can be interpreted from the first preseason game, remember back to the '94 Hall of Fame game. The Bolts were playing. I can't remember the opponent, but I do remember Natrone Means breaking off a 40+ yard run on the first play from scrimmage. On the second play, Stan Humphries hit Shawn Jefferson on a post for six points. I knew right then that season would be special.

I don't know if SF would be willing to give up on Alex Smith just yet, nor Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers.
But yeah, Buffalo would be a contender as JP Lose-man just ain't cutting it.
I perused the Buffalo forums over the weekend and damn if they didn't have a bunch of Losman vs. Holcomb threads, like the Brees vs. Rivers threads.

Preseason games are about individual matchups.
The Raiders first stringers won few, if any, individual battles. That doesn't bode well for them at all.
More on Gallery. I like the fact that Shell and Slater are wasting so much valuable coaching time on one player. That means a lot of other things aren't getting done.
