The Official Patriots vs Raiders Game Thread

3 pass atts...3 yds

Wow...not how I wanted the game to start ...3 and out on offense.

Damn it McDaniels, stop calling screens on 3rd and long. That crap only works against our defense. Probably sees it work so often in practice he thinks it'll work in a game.

So not so good there by Brady. Missed Vereen though Vereen shoulda had that perhaps.

I really wanted the commitment to the run to carry over. Guess not...

Quite possibly one of the worst opening drives i've ever seen.

Oakland giving up two hundred yards a game on the ground...wtf was that

It was one set of downs. It isn't like the Raiders have never converted a third down this season.

Besides, the first drive is a feeling out period for the Pats and offenses are scripted. We saw that last week.

everyone slipping...its not like its a home game

That was an impressive 3 and out by the pats. What's with that 3rd down pass?

Looked like a lot of single-high safety on that possession defensively. Patriots look to be playing the run and daring the Raiders to pass. Problem is the run got good yardage on a few of those plays.

Their longest run was 3 yards....

Vereen was questionable this week? His hands are questionable every week. Kevin Faulk, he is not.

Chris Jones!!!!!!!

Brady's first and last pass to LaFell...

Lafell was covered but was Brady's first read. He forced the ball to him cause he wanted to get it out fast.

Bad route
Bad throw
Bad call

that was comical

So, about the whole throwing to only Edelman thing, that's looking pretty good right now.

lol that was ridiculous..like ridiculous bad.

It maybe time to fire McDaniels. He is not a good offensive coordinator anymore, he lost his way in Denver and appears to be unable to find it.

I just do not understand why all of the skill players are so bad. It is early and I am sure the offense will be okay, but Shane needs to learn to look for the ball.
