Gannon costs the Raiders the Game

[Earthquake Enyart]

5 picks in a big game vs. a winning team.

They need to get rid of him and pick up Blake or Chandler.

Pick up both!!

[Dozerdog]

Take away his 3 longest interceptions - returned for TDs- and they still lose 27-21

So get off his back!!!

Gannon got some pressure, but we see QBs for Blo get more pressure than that day in and day out.

Brad Johnson was pretty crappy too.

I hope this shows the QB myopia fans that a QB can only be as good as those around him let him be. Quarter Backs CANNOT win by themselves, a team is required.

I am sure the same know nothings will blather on about what QB can't play when he gets no protection, and what QB is unstopable when he gets no pressure.

FOOTBALL IS ABOUT BIG MEN.

Maybe they should get a running game instead of a permanent "3rd-down scat back!" That might help. Hey, if I could easily predict the outcome of this to a "T" I might add, then it isn't Gannon. You just don't win championships w/ only a passing game.

How come ya didn't start this thread w/ that inuendo? Bledsoe would have had 8-10 sacks or more and that many INTs as well yesterday. It was predictable for those realizing that passing gets you nowhere in the big picture apart from solid rushing and very good to excellent D.

You guys might figure that out someday...

I'll say it now, if Bledsoe is relied on to toss over 600 balls next year, then we aren't going anywhere either.

I don't know what you are talking about. Gannon is the only person to blame for this defeat as his 5 pics were the sole cause of defeat. Game planning or the running game had absolutely nothing to do with the loss.

He's the second coming of Ray Lucas.

It still takes balance……In case you haven’t noticed, TB has 3 solid WR’s and a QB who had a pro bowl season. And they also ranked near the bottom of the NFL in rushing the ball. The TB offense albeit not nearly as explosive as the Raiders, also relied heavily on the pass.

My point is that in order to win the whole thing, you need a strong D and a capable offense. An offense that will be able to get down the field and put up points in one minute if need be. We have a capable offense, and now we’re working on the D.

I agree, To add insult to injury last night Michael Pittman decided to start running like a feature back for a change. After only gaining 600-700 yards all season his first half performance was key along with the Buc's defensive efforts. If Pittman doesn't have a great 1st half like he did the offense would have struggled much for TB.

So true….the game was going NOWHERE for both teams and I’m yelling at my TV for Tampa to run the ball. They finally did and it was huge…..it opened up the pass and they were able to do what ever they wanted.
