49ers 12, Browns 13
Tremendous performance by Kelly Holcombe (later found to have broken leg post-game), as he led them on an 80+ yard drive in the last seconds of the ball game to beat the Niners with a TD pass to Andre Davis (2nd TD of the game).
boy, the Niners sure sucked the whole game. 4 lousy stinkin' FGs
at least this FG kicker is a keeper!! boy, what a tremendous leg -- how come he's unemployed for the past year?!?!
And Owens wasn't used much, even though he caught 7-8 pass for about 80-90 yards.
boy, with the Browns focused on stopping the run (after what Jamal Lewis did to them last week), Niners should've torched them via the pass
sad sad game for us Niners fans!!
1-2, and going to MN next week to face the 3-0 Vikings, who listed Culpepper as doubtful b/c of 3 tiny broken bones in his vertebrae with a back injury
I expect quite a few false starts from the offensive line, what with the MN dome being amped up with artificial noise, in addition to crowd noise

Denver 31, Raiders 10
a lousy stinkin' game with the Broncos torching the defense for 3 quick scores in the 1st quarter.
never seen a defense look so lost as the Raiders were in the 1st quarter.
hell, even the Bengals have a better defense
and the Raiders have to bench Gannon.
He may be the NFL MVP....but he is incredibly slow this year!!!
wonder if he has an undisclosed injury???? He barely moves out of the pocket, doesn't run the ball when WRs are covered...
time for Marcus Tuiasosopo
Jerry Rice - 4 catches for 61 yards,,, I prefer seeing Tui throw to Rice!!!

It's not that Gannon is slower, it's the stupid O-line letting anybody and everybody through less than a second after the ball is snapped. Gannon nor any other quarterback is going to stand a chance if they get less than 3 seconds to throw the ball.

Gannon is slower.
I prefer Tuiasosopo -- more mobile, much quicker.
stop blaming the offensive line.
quarterbacks always get all the credit, but none of the blame.
Gannon has performed horribly all this year

Gannon sure didn't look too slow today did he? This win will spark the Raiders comeback and they will now take control. I'd like to see their defense show up from now on also because I don't think they can make it against the Chiefs and Colts with the way they've played.

Actually, Gannon did look slow, as usual. Did you notice that, even with open running lanes, he still sits and waits for open receivers....or else is sacked?
But, what a tremendous comeback by the Raiders, being down 14 points with 6 minutes left......
But great Raiders defense, along with a predictable "let's hand of to Tomlinson" offense helped give the Raiders the ball in the last 6 minutes....
And Gannon hit Whitted on a fabulous audible call; and then Garner ran 24 yards on a draw play with just about 1 minute remaining!
A TREMENDOUS call; I didn't even think about the draw, and by the looks of the Chargers defense, they didn't either.
Chargers got the ball in the OT first, but couldn't score (teams that get the ball first win the OT 68% of the time)....and Gannon went to work with Rice, including a very sweet 29-yard catch by Rice. Janikowski kicked a 46-yarder, and that was it
34-31 (same score by which USC lost to Cal in 3 OTs, hahahahaha)
Rice had 7 catches for 118 yards....but still not TDs this season!!

It seems reversed this year with Brown getting the TD catches and not Rice. How about Doug Jolley though, he's proving to be a very valuable player on the field. I sure can't wait until Porter gets healthy again so Gannon can have another weapon. I'm willing to bet that the passing game will blossom again with Porter in the lineup. I've noticed a lot of double teams on Brown and Rice with single coverage on Whitted. The only problem is that Whitted isn't that great and isn't going to draw away the defense from Rice and Brown. I'd still like to see Fargas get more carries even though it's unlikely due to Wheatley getting more touches as of late.

Well, I am still hoping more passes get thrown Rice's way.
Brown's game is predicated on his speed, and now that he's lost 3 steps....he's not getting open as much. Rice was never a speed burner; he just was able to outrun the CBs
Yea, I'd like to see Vargas touch it more...but right now, I'm content with Garner...Vargas has lots of years left.
Let's hope they do better this coming week!!

this weekend should be a doozy!!
Raiders play at Cleveland (who happened to beat my Niners)... let's hope that Gannon starts throwing more passes to Rice, and starts trying to be more like a Pro Bowl QB, rather than an old dude who isn't very mobile!! Raiders are 2-3, and already well behind the 5-0 Chiefs, not to mention the 4-1 Broncos, who have already defeated the Raiders
Niners play against division leading Seahawks, who have a TREMENDOUS defense, and are leading the NFC West!!
Niners got out to a 17-0 lead vs Mariucchi's Lions, and sort of didn't do much after that, winning 24-17. Wasn't such a pretty game!
ugh!

10/12/03: Browns 13. Raiders 7
who'd thunk the Raiders couldn't only score 7 points, and that occurred in the early 1st quarter, after a fumble by Green on Browns' 25 yard line
other than that one possession where the Raiders scored, it was a useless game.
how much longer willl the Raiders keep Gannon in there? It's very apparent that this dude just doesn't have the skills he once had. If you give him all day, Gannon will make the right throw. But, in football, you don't get all day to throw the ball. Sometimes, you have to make the plays out of nowhere.
I've been calling for Tuiasosopo to come in and start!!!
by the way, Rice didn't get a pass until about 9 minutes into the 4th quarter!!! before that, only 2 passes came his way.
Raiders tried running play after running play, all unsuccesful, and refused to pass....until it was too late.
And with about 27 seconds left, and the Raiders driving, Rice made a great catch, had his knee on the ground before going out of bounds, and it was ruled no catch!
Replays showed his knee was in bounds!! But refs didn't over-rule the play!
Browns defense was just awesome, coupled with a sh*tty offense by the Raiders, who are 2-4, and head to play K.C. on MNF next week!!
