Raiders Spank the Titans
The food, the beer, the fans, halloween, histeria and the presence of Raider Nation in all it's glory. Yes, it's football time and everyone's pumped and primed. Oakland came to Tennessee today with a mission on their minds: WINNING! And that is exactly the message they got across to the Titanics and their hopeful following during the 1st Quarter. The Raiders scored 17 points quickly. Tenn. tried their best to keep it close. But the 6 sacks on 'Dead-air' McNair and the penalties the Titans commited kept them behind throughout. Someone committed more penalties than the Raiders? WOW!!!
No one could deny the fact that the Raiders were there to dominate. And they did. Warren Sapp, Bobby Hamilton and Ted Washington put much needed pressure on the Titan offensive line till they finally got to McNair. It seemed all they had to do is just stand up when the ball was snapped and wait for someone to try to run the ball their way. Sapp wrapped Steve 'McNut' up a couple of times for losses and made his presence felt up and down the line.
The Raider offense looks better this go around, but Collins just had to run the ball. Some folks just don't listen. He heard me when he went back through the tunnel at half time though. So it was back to handing off and passing. Moss STILL likes to throw his hand up when he 'thinks' he's open. Well, he got the ball thrown to him and what did he do with it? Ok, he caught it, but after that, THAT'S what i'm getting at. Jerry Porter scored 2 of the Raiders TDs, and L.Jordan caught one for 6.
This was a good game all around and hearing RAIDERS being chanted most of the game was very welcome to me. I feel that we needed to win this game so we'll have some sort of momentum when we play the Chiefs next week. Winning in Tenn today was the 1st road game in a long time for the Raiders to win. K.C. next week won't be as easy though. But until then, I get to go to work tomorrow (as expected) and rub RAIDER NATION all over the faces of the Titanic fans. Oh so good. Oh yeah, Archie, the Raiders won big boi!!!
RAIDERS ALL DAY LONG BABY
