Week 11: RAIDERS @ Detroit Lions Q-by-Q Reaction


Q4:

OAK 13 DET 18

Disappointing loss. Nothing more to say. Stay tuned for the full recap.

Q3:

OAK 13 DET 9

Much better display on the offensive side of the ball, but we need more than field goals by Sebass. The defense held its own once again against Matthew Stafford despite a nice gain by Golden Tate to end the 3rd quarter. But this quarter, just as I said in the halftime post, the offense needed to wake up and it did with a 43 yard pass to Seth Roberts from Derek Carr and they managed to punch it in with a Latavius Murray TD. Close game into the 4th on the road. The Raiders need to close this out.

Q2:

OAK 0 DET 9

Well, 3 field goals is a win this half. But, disappointing performance by the offense to start, leaving the defense out there to possibly gas out. However, they're hanging in there though. Onto the halftime report.

Q1:

OAK 0 DET 6

This "bend, but don't break" defense is making me puke. The Lions, for the most part, dominated this quarter in terms of Time of Possession. Matthew Stafford was having his way against this secondary. It was ugly out there since the defense couldn't stop the run or the pass this quarter. Luckily enough, some key drops by Eric Ebron and Ameer Abdullah in the red zone gave the Raiders a break and it's 6 point lead rather than a 14 point lead.
