George Atkinson III RB
George Atkinson III was signed to active roster and Carlos Rogers was placed on IR. George Atkinson will probably handle kick off returns and hope get some carry at RB. Latavius Murray will not play, didn't pass the concussion protocol.

Pathetic Disgrace
Very disgusting game, they didn't even show up, as a Raiders fan totally disgusted in them today. 38-0 at halftime. Lucky they won last week, because if they look like this the rest of the year, there not going to win anymore. Horrible just horrible.

I turned off the TV when they were 28 to zip, with less than 4 minutes into the 2nd quarter. I turned it back after calming down a couple of minutes later, and it just kept getting worse! I couldn't keep up with all the 3 and outs. One time they actually got past the Ram's 37 yard line!
In the end, Matt Schaub steps in to prove why he was another bad choice by the Raiders. (Free is not free if it costs you!)
If this is not embarrassing enough to get Mark Davis to fire the GM then he deserves being the laughing stock of the NFL. No running backs, no pass rushers, few that can catch & hold the ball, and bad coaching to top it off.
I don't see how Woodson can keep hustling and getting ran over because he doesn't have much help, and come back next year. Oh, and it's the oldest team by average age in the NFL. A lot of those other veteran picks did not pan out, but a few did.

Hard to put into words how bad they played. I managed to watch the entire game just to see if they could do anything, which they didn't. Could be a scoreless tie next week against the Niners.

I give you props to sit and watch the whole game. I turn the game off when it was 28-0. Flip back once in a while to see if they scored, no luck, lol. Lucky I have NFL Sunday Ticket, so I can turn to a better game to watch.

What do you guys think about Jim Harbaugh crossing the bridge?

"Going from a team with both a recent history and a lineage of success like San Francisco to either of the NFL's true compost plants would be quite the fall-off for Harbaugh." - ESPN's Adam Schefter

I think it would be stupid, we need are draft pick, we need better players as you can see from the results of the Rams game. Wouldn't mind getting him as a coach but not to give away our top pick for him. This stuff all rumors, will find out what happen when the season over. We need to go out and kick the Whiners butt this weekend, I want this win, more than any other game this season. Go Raiders.
I didn't necessarily expect us to beat the Rams, but I never thought they'd hang 50+ on us, especially with their backup QB. Must be nice to have a backup with that much talent. I don't think we've been trashed this badly since Buffalo beat us 51-3 back in '91.
Question for you guys who are closer to the epicenter: Given the money problems in the area, what do you think our chances of keeping the team in Oakland area? If the Rams don't beat us to it, is a return to L.A.
a possibility?

I saw where the 49ers were making some noise about offering their coach up for a trade, but it makes me wonder what's going on over there that makes him so polarizing. If he gets fired, I wouldn't mind if the Raider front office brought him in to interview for next year's coaching position, but as Paul 68 says, we need to keep our draft picks for players. We have so many needs... If you happened to watch the Alabama/Auburn game, I saw some receivers we may want to look at.

Let's see, what do we need?
DL's
WR's
OL's
MLB
DB's
PR
KR
Backup QB
Backup RB
And for that matter, depth everywhere.
Other than that we are set

I don't think L.A. would even entertain the idea of the Raiders coming back, especially under their current management and standings.
The City Hall in Oakland is so screwed up, it's a wonder they have any sport franchise here, at all.
Oakland is ranked No.2 in the Ten Most Dangerous cities in America, and Mayor Jean Quan supported the occupy movement to the tune of over one million dollars for police and clean up costs on a city strapped for money. Sixities radicals run the city of Oakland, along with thousands of parolees & gang members.

Sorry but had to get that rant out of the way, as I lived and worked in Oakland.

Again, we'll probably have the first pick, so it'll be interesting to see what Reggie does with it. IMNSHO, our biggest need is players who can help us score, or at least keep the ball in play long enough to let the defense catch its breath.
Do we grab a great receiver with the first pick, or trade the pick to get other, later picks? If I'm in the big chair, I'm taking Amani Cooper from Alabama.

I'd get rid of McKenzie before he gets a chance to screw up the next draft. Remember, this is the same guy that picked Allen. I don't think he should have another chance. 3 years is enough.
