Well students today I
sit before you a dumbfounded man. I thought that the Raiders were going
to run and pass all over the Miami defense. And I also thought that the Raiders
defense was going to confuse and frustrate rookie QB Ryan Tannahill. But they made Tannahill look like Marino and
Reggie Bush look like well Reggie Bush. So lets take a look at this sad game
and performance by the Oakland Raiders…
Game #2 – Oakland Raiders
at Miami Dolphins
Offense: C (C.Palmer
24/48 373yrds 1 TD, 1 INT, D.McFadden 11/22yrds, M.Goodson 3/83yrds 1TD): The
Raiders offense struggled again. Against a team that seemed like it should have
been a push over. But the Dolphins defense came to play and the Raiders offense
didn’t. You cannot win with only 23 rushing yards out of your offense. No team
in the NFL can. The Raiders need to regain some kind of balance to their
offense if they are going to right a ship the has scored 27 points in 2 games
this season…
Defense: C- (Passing
Yrds All. 200yrds, Rushing Yrds All. 263yrds): The defense took a little bit
of a down grade this week. The Raiders defense couldn’t stop the run if you
paid them to….Wait they are being paid and they still couldn’t. I know it seems
as if I am reaming the Raiders defense. But in my mind they deserve it with
that pathetic performance that they put forward. Reggie Bush ran all over the
defense to the tune of 179yrds and a couple of TD’s as a fantasy owner it made
me happy as a fan of the Raiders I was ashamed….
Special Teams: C
(Punt Ret. 5/58yrds, Kick Ret. 3/54yrds): This is one area of the team that I expected
to struggle. With the loss of Jacoby Ford possibly for the season the Raisers
may not be right on the Special Teams for a long while. But the kids they do
have are young and full of energy and speed so they should be fine a total of
112 yards returning is not bad. But they are going to need better production
from the offense to mask the deficiencies in other areas on the team...
Final Score: Dolphins
35, Raiders 13
Overall: C-
