Week 1: Home Opener RAIDERS vs. Cincinnati Bengals Q-by-Q Reaction


Q4:

CIN 33 OAK 13

Well, at least some points were put on the board, preventing a shutout. But honestly, this is something the Raiders have got to work on. The offense was out of sync the whole game until McGloin found Marcel Reece twice in the end zone, the defense was gassed out, and even with Aldon Smith in the lineup, the defense couldn't put Andy Dalton on the ground all game long. Horrible start to the season, there's a lot of things that need to be worked on. Stay tuned for the full recap.

Q3:

CIN 33 OAK 0



Q2:

CIN 24 OAK 0

You can't ask for a more deflating start. There are no words for the first half. To make matters worse, the injury bug is starting to bite for the Raiders: Nate Allen, out, Justin Ellis, out, and then Derek Carr injured his hand while running for the first down marker. The Bengals are making it look easy and Hue Jackson must be grinning on the sidelines that he is sticking it up on Reggie McKenzie from three years ago so far. Onto the halftime report.

Q1:

CIN 7 OAK 0

That was an ugly start in the 1st quarter. The offense going a quick 3 and out and the defense allowing a Jeremy Hill TD (thanks Ray-Ray). However, things are starting to slow down a little and a great way to end the 1st quarter? A catch and run from Amari Cooper from a Derek Carr pass. AC/DC started the fuse, but things were a little chippy as both teams committed some unsportsmanlike penalties.
