Oakland Raiders vs. San Diego Chargers Preview

[mifigig]

i respect raider fans as long as they dont mouth off. and eric weddle aint overrated!!!! i love how u dont know anything about the chargers past 03 xDDDbuht heyy all respect man

[TheJWA90]

Your eval of Eric Weddle was stupid. I loved when took the TD pass right out of the rcievers hands. HA HA. He has recieved ALL Pro Status. Get off this supposed to win we are better crap. The Raiders looked like the same crap as always.Your opinion is crap. You can`t evaluate crap. You are so far off on everything. Your raiders defense blows. The offense is a turn over machine.That team is sloppy and undisiplined. NEW penalty records . Ha Ha, same old loser raiders.

[rollercoasterfweak]

@TheJWA90 Last time I checked, you have no room to talk. Your team played like shit most of the year. Explain why your team didn't win the AFC West? What hurts more? Those losses to KC and Denver or the fact that the WIN kept Norv Turner and AJ Smith on the team?

[CUTWEST]

FUCK THE FAILERS!

NINERS ON MINE ALL DAY YA FAGGOTS!

[CL3V3R619]

Chargers won rite??? I think thats what matters most, norv can go, aj can go... Raiders blew the whole win for al davis thing didnt they?? Oh well, the fellow in this video was well spoken and very knowledgable. Very well put, and truthfully stated... I expected to hear a bunch of typical raider fan mess and aggresion but surprized that a theres a raider fan with some class... But as a Charger fan win or lose thats my team, we'll get it rite.. As for the raiders, i think that they would have ha

[rollercoasterfweak]

@CL3V3R619 Yes.... I try to be as kind as possible... so many idiots just spam the page with !@#$ After a game. Thanks for being classy... it's creepy I nailed the keys to this game... and the Raiders didn't listen. They won, and played to win the game, something (our secondary) didn't do.

[rollercoasterfweak]

@CL3V3R619 It's reported that both will return.... is this win officially more bittersweet than ever now? (Not trying to troll, just an honest question)

[caazraider82]

I feel horrible for lechler & Seabass the most. Raiders could not cease the moment. We let an 8-8 Donkey team make the post season, by default since they lost too! One & done just like the queefs last year.

[cbaldwinjr]

You know what sucks fweak...you nailed this completely. COMPLETELY! Raiders had their fate in their hands and just laid an egg out there today. What a joke. Gut punch to the max.

[rollercoasterfweak]

@cbaldwinjr An egg.... I was happy the stadium did NOT bring up the scores around the league.... but yes, no composure on the secondary.

[steventheraiderful]

We're doing this in the name of Al Davis!

[moviebuff383]

tomorrow we will find out if it's meant to be for the Raiders and the playoffs.. just play smart guys!

[lunow3]

Thank God Jacoby's back!! Healthiest Raider receiving core Palmer's had in a while!!

[MrAss707]

@lunow3

Im hoping Ford can play this weekend, if so then Bolts are going to change their whole defencive scheme and I dont think they have enough personal to cover us

[moviebuff383]

..last time the Raiders looked great, in my opinion, was the Jets game and the first half of the Bills game.. man, did they look so sharp out there.. THAT'S the team i wanna see for the final regular season game.. :)

[rollercoasterfweak]

@moviebuff383 The Vikings game was just as good. 

[tanker58p]

I expect The raiders to go hard this game, Chargers motivation will be on offense, because defensively we quit, Norv will be gone, either way I'm not sure who I want to be in afc west playoff spot, prob you guys since al passed away

Afc west Rival Week!!!!!

Go Chargers!!!

[SoCalsNum1HeatFan]

what the fuck? the chargers dont like norv? aside from myself, the players seem to be the only ones who stand by and support norv because the majority of this fanbase is retarded and blame norv for everything because they fell like they have to blame someone for how a team with so much talent comes out like this. please. the chargers like norv, its the dumb fans who dont. raiders are gonna get sodomized on sunday. go bolts.

[rollercoasterfweak]

@SoCalsNum1HeatFan Sodomized? Jerry Sandusky doesn't coach them.

[moviebuff383]

..just put teams away by the 4th please!..and keep the lame penalties down at least..

[rollercoasterfweak]

@moviebuff383 Most of the lame penalties were in the first half.. they adjusted well on THAT part in the 2nd.

[MrAss707]

Being that the Chargers are hurt, I think Oakland will bulldoze over them, break their back kinda game

[steventheraiderful]

@TrueBronco89 Same to you but we're also going to win no matter what if Cinn & Tenn lose!

[TrueBronco89]

Broncos should win this game no problem. Although I do think the raiders have had a successful season and I hope the best for you.

[ChannelTheGamer]

Just Win Baby...(except for Broncos)

[RealJoeyMoore14]

as an A's fan its really sad to be a fan of the team where the owners and management have goals that have nothing to do with winning. its a disgrace to past A's teams and diehard fans and i dont know what to think

[MrAss707]

I dont see KC losing two weeks in a row against both division rivals. Lets understand that Orton knows the Donkies better than T-Blow knows KC, plus it's a "revenge" game, and Kc wants to spoil Denver's run. Oakland has a good chance to beat San Diego, we got it in the trenches, and we're better balanced.

[pomona16compton]

The Chiefs are going to beat the broncos this Sunday because of the way their defense played against us last week and Kyle Orton taking revenge on his former team. The Raiders are going to win this Sunday, but it could be tough who knows? But the defense should not collapse in the 4th quarter, they should play tough and put the pressure on Phillip Rivers.

[RaidersUpdate]

well be 9-7 and make the playoffs--and if we do then all afc teams are scared we will be healthy and a scary ass team ......

[jruiz94]

You say that outside of Orton the Chiefs arent playing for anything? Dont you think that their playing for Crennel?? They like him as a coach and from doing sum research they want him back so I think Chiefs can and will pull this one off for him.. These Chiefs are deeply motivated.. Other than that I think you are right, if the Chiefs dont win then the Jets winning and the Bengals losing (and us winning of course) are our best bet of making the playoffs..

[rollercoasterfweak]

@jruiz94 I have little faith in the Chiefs personnel. They've shown they can be competitive... but playing a 60 minute game is not their strength.

[zaescc408]

Cant believe im saying this but this Sunday i will be a Chiefs fan!

[steventheraiderful]

@zaescc408 OK I'll be both a Chief & Raider fan then!

[Bamaraider1]

Is Mcfadden going to be back?

[ruben1munoz]

@Bamaraider1 fuck no he is probably done for the year unless the raiders make it deep in the playoffs

[RizzoTheRatt]

@Bamaraider1 Mcfadden's been done for a while. Hue's just blowing smoke up our ass. He said mcfadden would be back after they bye. Then the week after that. Mcfadden's still a bit away from being 100%. The way I seen it, If oakland makes it into the playoffs, He'll probably be out.

[Bamaraider1]

@RizzoTheRatt ahh damn, well that sucks, I heard rumors he would be back guess not. He was our one chance of making some noise in the playoffs :(

[RizzoTheRatt]

@Bamaraider1 Im sure Hue honestly thought McFadden would be back, But the truth is McFadden should've been put on IR months ago.

[MrAss707]

@RizzoTheRatt

7-8 weeks ago, If they told the media and the fans D-Mac was out for the year do you think they would have sold out ticketts?

[RizzoTheRatt]

@MrAss707 You have a point but fans don't go to games to see one player. They go to see there team win.

[Bamaraider1]

@MrAss707 good point.

[slewofdamascus]

Yeah, I don't see the Chiefs showing up, either. The Bengals do not have a quality win. The Jets should beat Miami, who should definitely be mailing it in.

[steventheraiderful]

@slewofdamascus Well Orton wants revenge and we'll give KC all the support they need!

[slewofdamascus]

Re: Palmer, it's a work-in-progress, clearly he hasn't been a rock that we were all hoping for, but he's had 3 or 4 games with a qb rating over 100. He's flashed. None of those games included Darren McFadden. He wasn't thrust into a veteran line-up, but an exceedingly young one, especially @t wide receiver, and a line-up that has not stayed consistent due to injuries; as a result, the offense has gone in fits and starts, like an out-of-tune car. An out-of-tune FAST car. The best is yet-to-come

[slewofdamascus]

Clearly, the Chargers can be turned around in a hurry. They have a coaching problem. But I would be surprised if they show up for this game. They didn't show up for Detroit. All the Raiders have to do is to lean on them and they'll pack it in. However, paradoxically, if the Raiders go into the game with that kind of attitude, and let them hang around, or have to play catch-up, all of a sudden the choke factor comes into play. I think the Raiders, warts and all, have moved beyond that possibility

[cowboysblog]

Hey I don't think you are as optimistic as you should be. I think the Chiefs are a very underrated team and they've had some interesting games this season. I think of all the games you named the least possible win is the Raiders over the Chargers to be honest.

[goldeneve]

WARFLAG THIS IS IT IM READY !

[moviebuff383]

...Palmer panics now, and throws at least two interceptions per game.. but he also connects well with Moore, and DHB, and Louis Murphy.. Hue better change it up and stop keep using Bush up the middle, unless.. the running game works like it did last time we beat the Chargers..

[rollercoasterfweak]

@moviebuff383 The Chargers run defense is vulnerable... as most of their unit is.  It just needs to be a balanced attack. Palmer did rebound well in his defense AFTER throwing the two picks. If he keeps the composure he did after mistakes, we have a good chance. Remember his only two turnovers he had against SD were because of bad blocks by Michael Bush.

[moviebuff383]

..please don't let this game be close, i can't take the stress and frustration lol.. and let the donkeys lose please!

[unrealistic53]

@rollercoasterfweak . Why do broncos have to loose agaisnt the cheifs if the raiders and broncos are tied up in the division and overall ????? Confused .? What if both the raiders and broncos win what happens ?

[rollercoasterfweak]

@unrealistic53 Broncos have the tiebreaker because of "Teams in common" with a better record in those. Since we beat the Browns and Texans, (the two they didn't play), it means they had more wins against opponents we had in common overall. 

[caazraider82]

@seventheraiderful...yeah. I think Orton is gonna light up the Broncos and exit mile high with a W. This game is personal for him.

[steventheraiderful]

@caazraider82 Orton: IT'S PAYBACK TIME BITCHES FOR ABANDONING ME FOR THAT CRY BABY TEEBLOW!

[caazraider82]

Raiders win, broncos lose hahaha! On a serious note, we just need to handle what is in our control and that's beating the Chokers. Go Raiders, and I hope we somehow make it to the post season in the end.

[steventheraiderful]

@caazraider82 We need to support KC to beat Denver!

[rbaki4]

Why would the Jets winning help us? Please answer me because it really doesn't make sense to me.

[rollercoasterfweak]

@rbaki4 We can't beat the Bengals head to head in the standings. We'd win a 3 way tie for the Raiders/Bengals/Jets though. We'd also win a 4 way tie if the Bengals/Jets/Titans were stuck with the Raiders in the standings.

[rbaki4]

@rollercoasterfweak Okay...so wouldn't we win a two way tie with the Bengals if the Jets lost?

[crownking911]

@rbaki4 Yeah the Raiders own the tiebreaker over the Bengals.

[PersonalJesus348]

Chiefs can stop the Donkeys

[rollercoasterfweak]

@PersonalJesus348 They CAN... but can they do it in the clutch? The Chiefs are too known for blowing 4th quarter games historically.

[PersonalJesus348]

@rollercoasterfweak

Well I called it. Not that it mattered @_@

[Agureghian]

like the trade for the A's... Gio IS overrated. Any average pitcher can have a 16-12 season in o.Co. collesium. Hopefully we get the OK to move to SJ... Beane is clearly building the team for the future. hopefully when we get the OK from the league, Wolff goes for a spending spree to excite fans like the Marlins did.

[TheAFCman]

@Agureghian

If the A's do get the okay more than likely they won't be able to spend money like the Marlins are doing because the caveat is the A's will have to pay a kings ransom to the San Francisco Giants for moving into their territory ..Though of course the A's will have more money to spend just not like the Marlins

[rollercoasterfweak]

@TheAFCman Lew Wolff is a very rich (but cheap) Billionaire. he has the money to spend if he wants to, but right now isn't caring about the short term on players and winning. Billy Beane would spend more if Wolff wants that.

[Agureghian]

@TheAFCman The details are still being worked out. I have read also that the A's will have to pay but the amount is still undetermined. I am hopeful.

[TheAFCman]

Pulling for the Chargers in this showdown...they should win ..

This way even if we lose to the Chiefs we still win the west..

[steventheraiderful]

@TheAFCman We'll see about that!

[JayCutlerOWNSy0utube]

lol, broncos know all about having a chance in week 17. smfh, it never happens though. We always blow it :( ... lol Raiders tho

[rollercoasterfweak]

@JayCutlerOWNSy0utube You guys haven't "blown it" in recent years. 2009 wasn't considered to be blown since the Jets won anyway. 2008 and 2006? Oh yes.... downright comedy. But those people are not the same.

[JayCutlerOWNSy0utube]

@rollercoasterfweak ... Yes, 2006 and 2008 we blew it. 2009 we blew it as well. We were 6-0 while San Diego was 2-3. We go on to go 2-8 the rest of the season. We need to win our last 2 home games against the shit Raiders and the shit Chiefs. And we lost them both LMFAO. We blew it.

[texmexman1]

#1 thing raiders need to worry about is winning, We don't be SD were not going to the playoffs.

[steventheraiderful]

@texmexman1 We need to and we need to support KC to beat Denver!

[texmexman1]

@steventheraiderful we can make a wild card spot too, but even if everything goes right if we don't win we don't get in, raiders can only control what they are doing.

[steventheraiderful]

@texmexman1 Hopefully

[TheAFCman]

@steventheraiderful

Lets put it this way ...i rather be playing the Chiefs than playing the Chargers....

[steventheraiderful]

@TheAFCman Well I rather do the same we beat the Chargers in SD and we can do it again in Oakland once we get our Defense going!

[osaji922]

@TheAFCman That's funny because I'm more afraid of the chiefs in all honesty

[steventheraiderful]

Damn I hope KC beats Denver C;mon Raider nation KC needs all the support they need to beat Denver!

[JayCutlerOWNSy0utube]

@steventheraiderful ... Stevie, shut the fuck up you blocking bitch.

[steventheraiderful]

@JayCutlerOWNSy0utube Jay I unblocked you you moron!

[JayCutlerOWNSy0utube]

@steventheraiderful ... You better, you lil fuckrag.

[steventheraiderful]

@JayCutlerOWNSy0utube Shut up Pony!

[Ancientsouth]

A's needed 3 hitters and 1 pitcher...bad trade. Thanks for breaking down the playoff scenarios. RAIDERS 4 LIFE.

[pats4lifebb]

dude, you don't need the titans to lose, you do know that right? all you need is the Ravens to win

[steventheraiderful]

@pats4lifebb What about KC beating Denver?

[JayCutlerOWNSy0utube]

@pats4lifebb ... naw, they need a cincy loss and Titans loss ... Or a Cincy loss and a Jets win.

[pats4lifebb]

@JayCutlerOWNSy0utube why? what tiebreaker puts the Titans over the Raiders? as of right now the Raiders own the Tiebreaker on the titans...and they beat the Texans already this year, and why would they need a Jets win? makes no sense

[rollercoasterfweak]

@pats4lifebb Most papers are saying the Titans win a three way tiebreaker if the Raiders/Bengals/Titans were together.
