De Ja Vu All Over Again

It's the same thing every week. The wheels come off someway between the middle of the third quarter and the middle of the 4th quarter.

It's now 18-15, Chargers, after JaMarcus fumble. LaDanian ran it in from like the 15, his only real play from scrimmage all day. The defense is tired because we keep going three and out.

At some point, the Raiders will learn how to close out a game. Maybe it will happen today.

Maybe it won't. At least now, we have to come from behind instead of just waiting for the other team to catch up at the last second.

Halftime: 15-0 Raiders

There was a beautiful long ball over the middle to Miller for a TD. Cornell Green's holding penalties are Killing us, one nullifying a TD run by Bush.

Kiff sent Seabass out for a 76 yard field goal attempt as time expired.

That was funny.

Kalimba Edwards is dominating. So is the rest of the defense, even with Chris Johnson getting most of Nmamdi's time.

This is fun.

Heard from Dan, he's at the Fox Sports cafe at O'Hare. He got there just after the Miller TD.

5-0 Raiders after 1

We got a safety when LaDanian fumbled at the goal line and Philip Rivers recovered in his own end zone.

The white jerseys are still very, very weird. But the defense and special teams are playing lights out.

Weird in White

So the Raiders are wearing White. At home. Sign of the apocalypse, or just more sign that the Raiders don't know what the hell they're doing?

I remember about 10 years or so ago, Tim Brown was doing his weekly, Tuesday night call-in show on the old Ticket 1050, and someone asked him why they didn't wear white at home in September when it was super hot. He said Al Davis wouldn't care if it was 150 degrees, the Raiders wear black at home.

But who knows, it's so crazy it just might work. Anything is possible at this point.
