Week 1 East Coast Opener: RAIDERS @ New York Jets Q-by-Q Reaction


Q4:

Score: OAK 14 NYJ 19

The Jets gave a lot of opportunities to the Raiders, but the Raiders couldn't capitalize. Credit where credit is due, the Jets were much more physical, they didn't give us any room to run the ball down their throats and Rex Ryan and the Jets D do what they do best to rookie quarterbacks, give them a rude awakening in the NFL. Overall, Carr did good, he didn't do great, there's a lot to learn from this. Stay tuned for the full recap.

Q3:

Score: OAK 7 NYJ 13

I couldn't recall how many times the Raiders received the opening kickoff in the 2nd half and they couldn't put together a good drive. The Jets defense are starting to bring the heat on Derek Carr, they have completely shut down our running game. Raiders are still down by 6, but the Jets have the momentum all on their side to close this out and that does not bode well.

Q2:

Score: OAK 7 NYJ 10

The Jets offense, despite all the penalties, they got it going at the end of that quarter. I thought that's a partial momentum killer right there for the Raiders and also Latavius Murray's almost muffed kickoff return despite the fact the Raiders played mistake free. Would've been good to go into the locker room up 6, but the Raiders are just down by 3 and have the ball after deferring. Onto the halftime report.

Q1:

Score: OAK 7 NYJ 3

Old man Woodson, still making circus plays in his 17th season. That was a big interception to set up Derek Carr's first official TD to Rod Streater. Aside from that, 3rd down is still problem. The secondary is being exposed big time giving up a big passing play one 3rd down after another. Luckily, the Jets are gift wrapping penalties on offense, which is why it's 7-3, but they are still threatening after the end of this quarter.
