Q4:
Score: AZ 30 OAK 23
Well, whenever Matt McGloin's in the game with the 2nd-3rd stringers, it's usually entertaining. He was able to lead the Raiders for a tie, unfortunately they couldn't hold on. But evaluating the first stringers, the defense looked great, the offense was not all that great despite putting some decent drives, they couldn't convert those into TDs. Stay tuned for the full recap.
Q3:
Score: AZ 10 OAK 15
This quarter ended with a sigh. Not a very good way for Derek Carr to end his night, throwing a pick 6 to the house. Despite the good stats, Carr had a so-so night and that pick was just all bad. That also had a domino effect, I'd put in the 2nd string defense right about now. Mack had a good outing, now would be great to take him out.
Q2:
Score: AZ 3 OAK 15
I really like what I'm seeing from the defense so far. The D-line is putting some heat on most of Carson Palmer's passes, Nate Allen showing off his ballhawk skills, and Khalil Mack putting the Cardinals' O-line on roller skates! Getting after Palmer and notching two sacks at the end of the half. The offense made some strides, but there's a lot more work to do to turn those field goals into touchdowns. Onto the halftime report.
Q1:
Score: AZ 0 OAK 6
Good opportunity to get my feet wet before the regular season. So far, the defense is doing fine, but the offense is off to a really slow start. The Cardinals surprised a little bit on the first play with a bubble screen to Larry Fitzgerald and though their O is dominating the TOP, the defense is holding out on its own, which should please Del Rio. The offense started off ugly, though the catch by Mychal Rivera jump started the offense, then they went no huddle to pick it up. However, those quick 3 and outs have blown some opportunites to give the defense a rest and lead to some missed opportunities to put more points on the board.
