Raiders @ Chargers Game Day Thread (Week 1) / Post Game Reaction

The happy part then…Asante Samuel finally turned his head back toward the ball and look what happened!

I think Asante is going to be a good player and he’s young and was injured last year. Remember the INT he made in KC early last season? Glad he’s healthy and he had a tough assignment today on Adams.

I think the sneak on forth down was a huge mistake. Herbert should have seen the line stacked and called time out. Went and told the coaches they were stupid to call that. It had no chance and he should have seen that. He'll learn.

Tried to run up the guy on 3rd and didn’t get it and then tried to sneak it for 1.5 yards fooling no one. This is the shit that makes me SMH

lol - if Carr threw for 10 yards and a first down on every first down play, they would score a lot more than 19 points.

.

No…I meant he made so many first downs on new possessions after a KO or punt. It got to seem like every time.

It was nice to see a D-lineman (Mack) at the top of the teams defensive stats list (+3 sacks). Last season it was linebackers and DB’s that topped each games defensive tackles stat list. Been a long time.

I do t remember hearing the names of Sebastion Joseph Day or Austin Johnson even once

Mack needs to pace himself, it’s a long season. 2 sacks per game will do, Mack. Actually, his game winning sack was his real legit sack. The other two were, shall we say…fall into sacks. Nonetheless, the real deal so far.

agree that was a bad sequence of okays. the QB sneak was a terrible call.

Justin Herbert has amazing decisionmaking in side-stepping pressure, and extending the play with his feet. By contrast, Derek Carr's pocket escapability is like watching old people f*ck

What offensive talent - you continually talk about how mediocre most of the talent is. The only talent you seem excited about is Guyton and Tbilly. I’m still looking for their contributions in the box score today. I guess the inability to appreciate their extraordinary talents is not limited to just Charger coaches.

CC is also grasping saying going for it on 4th down is the reason for being 5th. anything to try and say Lombardi sucks and he knows better.
We didn't score on those 4th down plays, still had to drive it in the EZ afterwards.

We also didn't make all of them and got stopped many times.

We had 22 conversions but only 1 more than Detroit had and 4 more than AZ and Indy.

Where were they in scoring points?

Last year he made all of those. Not enough umph up front, for being an obvious play.

[Topcat]

LOL, I know, it was as misguided then as it is now. We just beat the Raiders - people should be ecstatic.

U sound like the dude who tells the people who just climbed onto the lifeboat from the sinking Titanic, "you're alive...you should be ecstatic."

Johnson had a nice batdown of a Carr pass late in the game that helped stop that final drive...
