Kirk Cousins has done a heck of a job for the Raiders. Definitely gave it his all.

Ugh! I was in Vegas last night and there was a lot of murmuring about @KirkCousins8. I was afraid what I was hearing made a lot of since. And now, I know it was real.
Just wanted to say THANKS to Kirk! You gave the Nation something to cheer for. I'm sure you have been

The Old Man Goes Off
Making his only start at quarterback for the Raiders during his legendary career, George Blanda explodes in place of injured Daryle Lamonica.
Oakland's 41-year-old placekicker and backup QB throws for 295 yards and four touchdowns — including a 94-yarder to Warren Wells, then the longest offensive play from scrimmage in Raiders history.
Blanda also performs his regular duties, kicking two field goals and five extra points in Oakland's 43-7 demolition of Denver at Mile High.
Raider rookie Charlie Smith scores his first pro touchdown on a 64-yard rip.

Just because you told me to get over it I’ll show how there was a clear hold on Bowers at the bottom on the Mayer fumble.
Almost got tackled.

On the TD Hezekiah Masses gave up, he was supposed to have safety help in Cover 1
But Darien Porter gets beat on the crossing route, and Taron Johnson doesn't stay deep

First of all Bowers is damn monster
From the all-22 angle though you can see he got the ball over the pylon. Missed opportunity for Kubiak.

Maybe the most obvious penalty I've ever seen in my life.
Couldn't have been more violent leading with the crown of his helmet if he tried.
At a pivotal point in the game, too.
Don't think we win if we get this call, but man, that is just absurd watching it back.

Good zone awareness by Stukes. Watkins leaves his zone and he pedals into the crosser for the pick

George Blanda comes into the game, he hits Wells for a TD.
He gets the 🏈 back with :37 left and gets himself into FG range.
George kicks the game winning FG from 52 yards out.

Michael Mayer almost had two touchdowns, one was called back due to a penalty and the other, Mayer fumbled the ball at the one yard line and it was recovered by San Francisco.

Through 9 games, the #Raiders have allowed 1,361 rushing yards on 272 attempts (5.0 yards per carry) and 12 rushing TDs.
By comparison, the Raiders have rushed for just 642 yards on 222 attempts (2.89 yards per carry) with 5 rushing TDs.
The difference in production on the ground is significant.

"I think every player who played in the league, at that point in time, wanted to be a Raider in some form or fashion. And I did. And that was close." -@DeionSanders
On December 2, 2002 (Week 13) Charles Woodson suffered a cracked fibula bone in his right leg during a Monday Night Football game against the New York Jets. Shortly thereafter, Deion Sanders wanted to come out of retirement to join the @Raiders in order to help them in their Super Bowl run with an injured Charles Woodson's status up in the air. However, Deion Sanders would have to first clear waivers from the Washington Redskins.
In the ultimate screw job to hurt the Raiders organization, Deion Sanders was purposely claimed off waivers by the San Diego Chargers on Tuesday, December 24, 2002, thus preventing Sanders from joining the #Raiders. Sanders never played a game for the #Chargers after that and this was all done by the Chargers only to hurt Sanders, Al Davis, and the entire Raiders organization.
Deion Sanders sure would have looked great wearing the silver & black joining Eric Allen and Charles Woodson! Oh, what could have been! 🏴☠️👇
