I hate the Raiders for deactivating Jerry Porter. I had him active on one of my fantasy teams this week to replace Steve Smith. :x

 

That's what happens when you park in Al Davis's parking spot.

They should have kicked the field goal. 27-3 is much more respectable than 27-0.

 

Oh boy, was I rooting against that late last night. I was tied with my opponent in one of my fantasy leagues going into last night, and I was done and he had Sebastian-I thought all hope was lost. As the game progressed, I thought there was a chance of them shutting them out, and then when I saw the Raiders calling timeouts against the Chargers backup defense I was upset again. I thought the guy had scored on the last play of the game, and when I saw the ref rule him out of bounds on the 2 I couldn't believe I had pulled out the tie.

Childress wins a close game....something Tice couldn't do. Maybe not challenging someone to fight near the end of the game had something to do with it.

This can't be good.

 

Also notable: Porter, the inactive receiver, was seen laughing and pumping his fist along the bench when Brooks was sacked a seventh time. Is Porter celebrating the fact his team is getting destroyed without him in the lineup, or is he happy he's not on the field taking a beating with the rest of his teammates

I was watching some of the Raiders/Chargers game last night and have a question. I am not sure but Randy Moss seemed to get flagged for tossing a ball to a Charger on the sideline. Taunting was the call. However everytime Merriman had a sack he proceeded to do some sort of prearranged dance. Personnally I am against both of these behaviors. I am just wondering how what Moss did was a penalty and Merrimans antics were ok? I understand that Merriman is supposedly "celebrating" but make no mistake that is every bit as much of a taunt as what Moss did.

He saw how well TO did last year and sees it as a way to be traded.

Maybe he just hates Brooks. I'm quite sure a lot of Saints and Raiders fans do.

What Moss did was not taunting at all. It was a stupid call.

 

I think it was Kornheiser during the Vikings-Redskins game that said sometimes players with a bad reputation don't get the benefit of the doubt from the referees for things they do on the field. Sean Taylor got a 15 yard penalty for I believe a late hit that was a borderline call in the fourth quarter that prologned a Vikings drive and that's when Kornheiser brought it up. Later in the quarter on the Redskins last drive, a Vikings player hit a Redskins player late on a pass that was uncatchable but didn't get a personal foul call on him. I'm not saying Kornheiser is right, but it is definitely something to consider.

I doubt he was deactivated for this but Porter most definitely parked in Al Davis's parking spot the other day.

There was one point in the game where Brooks threw the ball towards Moss on the sideline and Moss didn't even attempt to raise his hands to catch it. Next series of downs, Brooks was on the bench.

 

Something seems to be amiss in Raiderland.

 

BTW, the Chargers defensive celebrations were in honor/memory of Steve Foley.

I think that was just the last straw of many.

 

It would be quite ironic if the Raiders traded away a player because of discipline problems. That seems backwards; usually problem players come to the Raiders, not leave them.

That's a very good point.
