Most of the fault goes to the O-Line but the play calling also was terrible. You can't keep calling 5 and 7 step dropbacks if you can't block, they didn't try to roll him away from Merriman or counter that pass rush. Also they couldn't run the ball. Jordan was a pretty good RB last year and he wasn't effective at all. Anderson dropped at least 3 passes and I know that there were at least 1 or 2 more. I'm glad that we're in a new era, but I still wish him well.

CHARGERS, BABY!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Merriman is a BEAST!

I was looking forward to this game all week. I couldn't wait to finally root against a player that I felt robbed my team of MANY games in the past. It also helped that I'm a Charger fan and I hate the Raiders. We smashed Brooks into the ground

I'm not surprised by Brooks' abysmal performance last night, even though it was bad even by his standards.

What does surprise me is Raider Fan trying to find ways to defend him. I surfed over to raiderforum.net and saw the same finger pointing and excuses that I used to read here.

My hope is that Art Shell cuts his losses and starts someone else. I've always thought Shell got a raw deal his first time around and would like to see him succeed. I just can't see how anyone can swim with the anvil named Aaron Brooks chained to his wrist.

As a sidenote, I am morbidly looking forward to some more AB interviews blaming someone else for interfering with his greatness.

Art Shell is going to fail miserably.

The staff he hired is very questionable despite their credentials as players. Jackie Slater and Fred Biletnikoff(sp?) might be Hall of Famers, but that doesn't make them great coaches.

The OC has been running a bread and breakfast the past ten years. Seriously.

Yep their o-line is to blame for Brooks' failures. Nothing is ever his fault.

You didn't think it was funny? AB sure did, smiling coming off the field and laughing on the sidelines like usual. Funny Euph...you seem more upset about the game than AB was.

I wish you stuck up for our own team as much as you do for AB.

On a brighter note I've never laughed sooooo hard at watching an NFL game! Two games I will definitely watch every week....Saints and Raid-duuuhs.

um i thought all the ab supporters said he was going to be a pro bowl qb with oakland. now they have a bad oline. maybe he just isn't that good.

What game was everyone watching?.....There was NO pocket to step into away from, none. The play calling was horrible.

No one is saying that the o-line was good. Brooks still sucks though....and he still smiles.

Glad he isn't poisoning our team anymore with his apathy.

I guess he missed Brooks last season.

Re: Brooks Haters Rejoice!
 

Funniest post I've seen in a while. I was actually pulling for Brooks..... to get clobbered again. Looks like the way to play him is to play a blitz run defense and play run on the way to the QB.
