OFFICIAL WEEK 5 GAMEDAY THREAD: CHARGERS at RAIDERS

[Antonio's Gates]

just a bad game all around. no one player to blame. everyone outside of gates,keenan and brown sucked. not having a run game was big.

[Yubaking]

But somehow Yubaking thinks it was their fault.

They gave up the key drive. Also, you are blind if you couldn't see that the Raiders were stopping themselves. Our offense had a bad game, but that's just the point. We will never win a game this year because our defense played a great game and won it for us. Our offense has to play well or we lose--period. We can overcome our defensive ineptitude with our offense on occasion.

No fucking D is going to pitch shut outs in the NFL with the current rules. NONE. Holding them to 3 points in the 2nd half was pretty damn huge. The Chargers scoring 3 points in the first 3 quarters is what lost us this game.

Yes, they turn the ball over 5 times but it is the defenses fault because they gave up a 50 yard FG on a key drive in the 4th. You obviously are either stupid or you put your emotion before logic.

[Den60]

We just lost to the Raiders. They suck. No way to spin this in a good way.

I agree, but I don't see any spinning in this thread.

Who was spinning it in a positive way? Let's just attribute blame where it belongs. It's not all on the D clearly. The Royal fumble and the Woodhead fumble are probably the 2 biggest plays in the game. Killed any chance we had to put points on the board and one led to 7 free points. Just back breakers.

[TTK]

The Royal fumble was the real killer. The Woodhead fumble happens when the D makes a good play. Royal's was just boneheaded. You call a fair catch there.

[Antonio's Gates]

the real killer was pryors first pass. great help there by gilchrist. dude is always a step behind. either thats inexperience or hes just not fast enough. either way, taylor needs to get healthy asap.

You are the spin master. I do have to say you make me laugh. But I will say, in your world with what "should" have happened we are 5-0.

What is Pagano doing? How many times does he have to make the same mistake? Either Gilchrist's brain is a lump of coal or he needs to get sent to the bench.

This is usually the case with rebuilding teams with little depth. All units have to play exceptionally well. Any breakdown is otherwise pretty hard to overcome.

Thought most people would realize this. So we lost to the Raiders. A 7-9 team lost to a 6-10 team. Oh no.
