New Era, Same Ol' Shenanigans: Raiders vs. Chargers

A really frustrating start to this new era especially for me personally. Never mind, don't want to take this post on a personal level. The defense did it's part, other than giving up one touchdown to Malcom Floyd from Philip Rivers due to flashbacks of the horrible penalties, but the offense, just a very slow start until using the "too little too late" method to get in sync. The loss of Jacoby Ford & Denarius Moore seriously made this team one-dimensional all game long. Carson Palmer & Darren McFadden, particularly McFadden, had to carry the load on offense as Palmer completed 32 passing of 46 attempts for 297 yards & 1 TD & McFadden was the team's leader in rushing & receiving rushing for 32 yards with 15 carries & 13 receptions for 86 yards as the Raiders fall 22-14.

Final Score: vs. San Diego 22-14 [L]
