Boy... Am I glad, I'm not Selvin Young
but what weird playcall…
Random quotes about the raiders:
They really shouldn’t play — Chris Collinsworth (12/5/08)

I really believe we needed to go into...
…the half with the lead.
"Greater is an army of sheep led by a lion, than an army of lions led by a sheep" Defoe
Don't give up HT---I still have a good feeling for this game
The best defense is a good defense!
And last week's young players. Yes!
You ALWAYS have a good feeling!
But that’s why we all like you! : )

Me too
I felt this way last week too. It reminds me of the feeling we had when my HS team won state, it didn’t matter what was going on we just couldn’t lose. We had no fear even going into the 4th quarter of the semi finals down by 28.
Bailey on Smith would have helped a lot.
But the run defense is doing better than I expected.
"Greater is an army of sheep led by a lion, than an army of lions led by a sheep" Defoe
That's 'cause they're selling out to stop the run...

Jeeze.
To even be 8-5 is a testament to Cutler’s skill.
MHR is great, but celebrating a 2008 AFC West Championship WOULD/COULD be awesome.
That sucked.
However, everyone needs to chill. I sarcastically posted that we should cut half our roster and most agreed and discussed semantics.
We’re a young team on the road against one of the best teams in the NFL. Furthermore, we have been great in the second half and good on the road. This is not over.
"Choose the sword, and you will join me. Choose the ball and you join your mother, in death. You don’t understand my words, but you must choose. So… come boy, choose life or death."
Terrible playcalling at the end of the half.
Justrun out the clock that deep in your own end of the field. I knew a turnover would happen. Both of the KOA radio guys where saying (before the fumble), “I don’t think this is a good idea”.
"Greater is an army of sheep led by a lion, than an army of lions led by a sheep" Defoe
really really bad--they should have chucked it down the field
The best defense is a good defense!
And last week's young players. Yes!
No.

Lets get this straight.
BAILEY DOES NOT COVER A SPECIFIC GUY. HE ONLY COVERS ONE SIDE OF THE FIELD.
I don’t understand the love for Bailey. He hurts this team.

He likes playing zone.
Which does not benefit this team as its constructed now. When we had a beastly D-Line in 05, he was able to jump routes. Not now, when we need solid man to man coverage.

I very much disagree.
Bailey is the furthest thing from a zone CB one can get. He’s been playing over coverage because we haven’t been using safeties in deep zones, but that’s hardly his fault.

Go down the front page, and read the article on safety and CB interaction.
It’s the safety in the box issue, not the CBs at all.

Even though he is only covering one side of the field...
he does allow the defense to cheat a little to the other side, he definitely doesn’t hurt the team.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
I guess you didnt watch the NE game

that CBS didn’t catch

Well I am guessing offense goes in panic mode and Jay has two more picks forcing throws to Marshall

I have no hope that we are capable of coming back in this one
We are not that type of a team. Against weaker teams, maybe… but not today and we have Cutler and Selvin to thank for, and ofcourse Shanny for handing the ball to Selvin instead of a kneel down at the end of the 1st half…
I don't think
Shanny calls the plays.

that was not all barretts fault
Williams should not be able to bounce off his blockers and then run up the middle of the field, that was the D line and LB fault

It was on Elvis. He was in poition and Williams saw him dive in the middle for no reason and jumped outside.
"Choose the sword, and you will join me. Choose the ball and you join your mother, in death. You don’t understand my words, but you must choose. So… come boy, choose life or death."
bad play all around...
Over pursuit to the left leads to the cut back…Sure, Barrett misses the tackle, but everyone else left their assignment and weren’t there to miss….

then we can get back into it. Tall task however.

i’m worried it could be another blow out.
OK, Jay hopefully had an earful of checking down to his other recievers
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
One reason that Smith gets all those deep balls is simply because they're are willing to try it.
We’ve made very few attemps at that type of throw.
