NFL Game Center: New Orleans Saints at Oakland Raiders - 2011 Preseason Week 3

Drew went hard after a rookie CB and made him pay

Raiders were without their starter at CB and put in a rookie that Drew just tore arse on.

Oakland was without Richard Seymour, McFadden, Ford, Chris Johnson and other starters. 20-17 Raiders led when the starters for both sides left the field

Unfortunately, you are 100% correct. Our offense looked good, but our starting D looked bad. Drew would have smoked their starters too.

I think Oakland challenges for the AFC West. If San Diego struggles just a little, Oakland may take that division. I can see 9 or 10 wins for Oakland.

but the kickoff USED to be at the 35... we're just going back to the old rule.

I can think of a lot of old rules I'd like to see back.

I dont like replay. Am I the only one? Am I crazy?

Good points. Raider fan? Even though Al Davis is their owner, they've got a lot of things to be excited about. If McFadden was healthy and playing, both teams would have been in the 40s... easily. They're a pretty tough team, especially at home. Some consistent quarterback play and who knows.

That last statement of "20-17 Raiders led when the starters for both sides left the field" is a sure indication that the Raiders full compliment of starters surely would have whipped the Saints in a real game that counted in the regular season no doubt (sarcastic voice here).

Be sure to bring all your starters to the party next time and we'll bring ours too! The Saints were playing without their starting left tackle on offense in Carl Nicks with 2nd year pro apprentice guard Brian De La Puente starting in his spot for the first time ever in an NFL game, let alone on the National stage, Lance Moore was out with a groin injury, Roman Harper was out with a fractured/splinted ring finger, Aubrayo Franklin was out at DT, Sedrick Ellis was far from 100% in his short-lived start at DT and Tracy Porter still isn't 100% after offseason knee surgery (scope), just so you know...

If the NFL could do it the way the college football does it there would be no issue. For some reason the NFL, like so many other institutions I could name but will not for the sake of keeping the peace, has a talent for taking something simple like the boogaloo and completely effing it up.
