Q4

CAR 32 OAK 35

I have seen it all from this team already this season. Down 17 on the road, they come back to win with a two-point conversion. Set the record for most penalties in one game, still win. Some controversial calls, still win. Blowing a 17 point lead and the franchise quarterback getting hurt and they still find a way to win. This team will not bow. They will not give up. The will to win burns bright in this team! Al Davis is smiling somewhere up in the skies. After 14 painful seasons, we finally have a winning season! Stay tuned for the full recap.

Q3

CAR 25 OAK 24

Wow, the first half was awesome. The start of the 2nd half not so much. Our worst fear of Derek Carr getting injured has manifested itself. The Raiders were putting together a solid offensive drive to start and then it just crashing down when Carr got his pinky finger dislocated on the snap. Matt McGloin comes in and didn't do much. The Panthers cashed in the opportunity, scoring 18 unanswered points. 12 of them was when Carr was out. The next 6 was off a turnover from Carr throwing with a glove. This quarter sucked the air out of the momentum that the Raiders had. They've overcome a lot of adversity in the 4th quarter. Let's see what this next chapter will unfold.
