Welcome in to the open thread discussion for the 2nd half of the Raiders-Saints matchup. As usual leave some comments below this post on your take for the game.
OAK 35 NO 34
I may need some pills to control my heart rate after this quarter. What a game, what a comeback. Brees and the Saints' offense will give you heart attack. The defense gave up a lot explosive plays, but the Raiders somehow, they just kept fighting. That last drive by Carr, that took a lot of guts. Going for the 2-point conversion for the win, I couldn't tell if that was Carr's call or Jack Del Rio's call, but what a call. Crabtree, best hands, makes the catch. Zone coverage at the end almost gave me a heart attack, but the Saints' kicker hooks it wide left. A lot of things went wrong, but as Al Davis used to say: Just Win Baby! And the Raiders did just that to begin the 2016 season. Stay tuned for the full postgame recap.
Q3
OAK 13 NO 24
What this game is telling me late is that there's still a lot of things that need to gel for this Raiders team. They're still not out yet, but the revamped secondary is not doing too good. They gave up a 98 yard play to Brandin Cooks when the Saints are backed into their own end zone. Sean Smith and Reggie Nelson got burned big time. In other news, the Raiders had the ball to start, but quick 3 and out and to make matters worse, they're super thin at right tackle.
