Post all game related material in this thread.

Our projected win total is 7.5 wins. Do you think we win more or less?

Regarding wins, I think the team has the potential to get over 7 wins, of course this comes down to the health of Mcfadden. Tonights game was a good game, Pryor showing some talent, and finally getting a win.

Kinda wish the team had gone after Vontae Davis. I don't have much faith in the secondary.

I just hope Mcfadden stays healthy for the duration of the season. No matter what's projected the season is still going to be exciting.

Definitely excited for the season. With the new management/coach I'm pumped to see what the team does. On a side note where are the raiders fan?

Doesn't look too good in regards to penalties, hopefully the team can get its act together as the game progresses.

Not exactly how I wanted us to start off the season. SD is hurting in many areas, but we seemed to fail at many aspects of the game last night, so hopefully we work on improving. I'm actually disgusted.

I feel the same way. The team just couldn't produce when they got into position, and then special teams was just a complete nightmare. I only caught the first three quarters of the game and the short passes reminded me of the Rich Gannon era (feels like a lifetime ago this team was a well oiled machine). There are some positives, but not enough.

Our offensive gameplan was pathetic. Didn't like it at all. Palmer wasn't too bad. Didn't make any mistakes, but the play-calling blew. What was that at the end of the half? A FG from the 1? Really? Should have gone for it. But Jesus; Mcfadden is going to lead the league in receptions this year. :lol:

Defensively we were AWESOME. Loved it. Except for the one deep pass, I thought we did really well on that side of the ball.

Special teams....Well... :-?

What scares me is a Mcfadden injury. The offense needs to be spread out to 1)spread the wealth 2) open up things for Mcfadden.

Right, if McFadden goes down, I believe our season follows.

Favored to win by 1 point over Miami this Sunday. I like our chances to win on the road.

What a pathetic display in the second half. If theres anything optimistic its the first half.

I have nothing to say about the game.

It was just embarrassing.

Chances are we get thrashed by the Steelers. Not looking forward to that. Hopefully there are some improvements during this game.

The Steelers continue to have key injuries. Troy Polamalu won't play against us Sunday, so if we're on the top of our game, we possibly have a chance to take this one. Hmmmm

Well, that turned out better than I expected. Good game, hope DHB is ok and can come back soon. It's always scary when something like that happens.

We needed a big win like that. I hope the teams confidence is high, and carries over to the coming week, because Denver won't be an easy task. Let's beat Denver!!

GoRapstheoriginal · Post #20 » by **GoRapstheoriginal** » Sun Sep 30, 2012 11:53 pm

How do we beat the Steelers last week & just come out & lay an egg this week?

It's feels like nothing has changed from last year! >><<

! Sigh!
