Kansas City 28 - Oakland 0The Raiders piss poor QB play led to a humiliating, sobering shut-out loss to the Chiefs. Kyle Boller, in his second season with the Raiders, demonstrated why he is a 9th year journeyman backup by making bad reads and decisions. In his 1st series at the helm, Boller threw into double-coverage which turned into a 59 yard TD interception. This first Raiders' offensive series set the tone for a game that became an absolute train wreck. The train wreck included 3 INTs by Boller, 3 INTs by Palmer, the Raiders having 2 key starters hurt in the 1st half (McFadden - sprained foot; McLain - leg injury), and most discouraging, a 28-0 beatdown at home at the hands of a hated divisional rival.In the 1st half alone (7 total offensive series for the game with Boller under center), Boller had (3) INTs and (3) 3 and outs. The 1st INT was returned for a TD. The 2nd INT put KC in good field position which they capitalized on for another TD and quick 14-0 lead with 1...

Bye week comes at opportune time for Raiders

The bye week for the Oakland Raiders is coming at just the right time. With new quarterback Carson Palmer still trying to shake off the rust and learn a new offense and new teammates and star running Darren McFadden and other key players nursing injuries, the Raiders can sure use this time to regroup from a 28-0 loss to Kansas City and get back on track with two big division games...

Raiders WRs plan to spend off week working with QB Palmer

If anything was obvious during Oakland's loss to the Chiefs, it's that Carson Palmer and the Raiders WRs aren't on the same page yet. Will some extra work during their bye week cure the Raiders' problems?

Raiders in Transition Period with Carson Palmer

Before Jason Campbell was injured, the Raiders seemed to have an identity and focus. They were a physical, run-first football team cast in the mold of head coach Hue Jackson, an emotional leader who is intent on “building a bully” in the AFC West. The question now is, will the Raiders’ personality change with Carson Palmer at quarterback? Will all the attention...

NFL Power Rankings Week 8: Horrible Football Edition

We are seven weeks into the NFL season and I have no clue what to make of it. Teams are wildly inconsistent and we may have just had the worst week of games yet. We had three nearly unwatchable games (Browns-Seahawks, Broncos-Dolphins, Ravens-Jaguars), the “return” of Carson Palmer, and the worst combination of prime time football games since ‘Nam. The Saints scored...

Bush, Palmer worth a look

With Week 7 in the books a few teams in particular - Washington, Cleveland and Oakland - will look to adjust after losing multiple players to injury. Like every week, fantasy owners need to not only identify the players thrust into more prominent roles but must access whether they'll have significant fantasy value. Michael Bush, RB, OAK - Bush will be a highly sought after running...

NFL Week 7 review: Palmer’s woes, Newton’s win and, yes, Tebow

Shutdown Corner wraps up Week 7 of the NFL season. Worst tackling obscured by talented rookie Carolina Panthers rookie Cam Newton is hard to tackle, more in a Ben Roethlisberger "he's tough to tackle" way than the Michael Vick "he's tough to get a hand on" way, but still difficult nonetheless. Newton looked like both those veterans combined, plus a little...

Dalton now the franchise future for ascending Bengals

  SEATTLE, Wash. — There was little doubt that TCU rookie quarterback Andy Dalton would be taking the reins of the Cincinnati Bengals' offense in 2011 — with team owner Mike Brown and former franchise quarterback Carson Palmer at loggerheads about where Palmer would ply his trade in the future and Palmer threatening to retire, the move to take Dalton in the second round...
