I don't think one can bet on the Raiders... ...from here on out, if Jamarcus Russell is the starting QB, no matter how many points off the line is perceived to be. After tasting victory with Gradkowski, it is apparent that Russell triggers the team gag reflex:
The Scene = OAK has the ball at the WAS 28, down 4, with 4:39 left in the 3Q:
[B]1-10-WAS 28(4:39) J.Russell sacked at WAS 34 for -6 yards (A.Carter).[/B]
(Shucks. Oh well, sacks happen...at least OAK is still within SJ's range :rolleyes:)
[B]2-16-WAS 34(4:01) (Shotgun) PENALTY on OAK-C.Carlisle, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at WAS 34 - No Play.[/B]
(Lack of focus? Miscommunication in the huddle? :(. OK, at least OAK has two plays to get back into FG range)
[B]2-21-WAS 39(3:43) J.Russell pass short right to Z.Miller to WAS 40 for -1 yards. PENALTY on OAK-C.Green, Ineligible Downfield Pass, 5 yards, enforced at WAS 39 - No Play. [/B]
(Really??? I mean, really? It wasn't bad enough that you lost yardage on the play, but to commit another penalty? :confused:. Well, at least OAK is still in WAS territory. Just don't take a debilitating penalty or sack on the next play to officially make this the worst offensive series of Week 14)
[B]2-26-WAS 44(3:10) (Shotgun) J.Russell sacked at OAK 47 for -9 yards (B.Orakpo). [/B]
(:eek:)
[B]3-35-OAK 47(2:35) (Shotgun) J.Russell pass short middle to Z.Miller to WAS 40 for 13 yards (L.Fletcher). [/B]
(OK, not terrible. SJ can still hit the 51 yard FG and bring OAK within 1.)
[B]Washington challenged the pass completion ruling, and the play was REVERSED. (Shotgun) J.Russell pass incomplete short middle to Z.Miller (L.Fletcher).[/B]
(:mad: :mad: :mad:)
[B]4-35-OAK 47(2:30) S.Lechler punts 53 yards to end zone, Center-J.Condo, TOUCHBACK.[/B]
(Laughing hysterically. :D :D :D. Tom Cable should have should have just told Jamarcus to take the snap and then roll the ball forward for 8 yards on first down to a WAS LB - overall, that would have been much more efficient. I am now going outside to fix blown fuses in the Christmas lights).
