The Raiders have dropped to 1-2 after a 23-3 loss at home against the Denver Broncos in what can really only be described as a terrible effort. JaMarcus Russell completed 12 out of 21 passes for 61 yards and 2 interceptions.
Darren McFadden carried the ball 12 times for 45 yards and Michael Bush rushed for 20 yards on 6 carries in a running game that never really got going.
Despite giving up 23 points, the defense was one of the Raiders’ bright spots of the game. The Broncos drove down the field on their opening drive but were stopped by an impressive Raiders defensive goal line stand and the Raiders took over deep in their own territory.
The Broncos are now 3-0 after barely beating the Bengals in week one, and then getting wins against the Browns and Raiders.
Up next for the Raiders is a tough game in Houston against the 1-2 Texans.

Raiders suck. I don’t care if they drop out of the goddamned nfl at this point. I am done. End of story.

Leinhardt did not work out for Arizona, Young did not work out for the Titans, When will the Raiders realize Russel’s not working out? When Arizona and the Titans changed QB’s they went nowhere right?(Superbowl, 10-0 start)!

Zom, I agree, I can no longer be Raider Fan until they get better!

Davis doesn’t care if we win, as long as you keep going to games and buying merchandise. I suggest you stop supporting them financially.

give up on J. Russell, he’s a hell of an athlete, but no brains to play QB position. cut your losses and start Bradkowski. Russell needs to work with a QB coach who can teach and inspire.
