Oakland trips up St. Louis, 16-14

The Oakland Raiders sure did struggle but still found a way to pick up a victory in a 16-14 win over the St. Louis Rams.

The Raiders were expected to be significantly better this year, but they sure haven’t shown any improvement in the first two games.

Quarterback Jason Campbell was supposed to be a big upgrade, but he was so bad that Tom Cable yanked him in favor of Bruce Gradkowski.

The Oakland Raiders became the latest West Coast team to travel East and struggle in a 38-13 loss to the Tennessee Titans.

The Raiders hung around in the early going, but by halftime found themselves trying to dig out of a big hole.

Oakland tried to load up the box and make quarterback Vince Young beat them, and he proved he could.

That forced Oakland to pay more attention to the passing game, opening up running room for Chris Johnson. ( Read More…)

Oakland Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell was carted off the field after sustaining a blind side hit.

Campbell laid on the field for several minutes before slowly hopping into a cart and heading to the locker room.

The quarterback was officially diagnosed with a stinger, and the Raiders don’t feel it’s anything too serious.

He is also dealing with a sore wrist as a result of the way he landed following the hit, but it also isn’t considered serious. ( Read More…)
