Cryboys @ Raiders

The first preseason game is so awful I don't watch the Packers so I dont see myself watching any of this one.

Ill watch the 1st Q since Dallas is in our conference and always curious to see how they look. McFadden was running right through Dallas' D line. Huge gains in that first series.

Wait--did Gruden say he was a Coach?

How Very Interesting.

You made the right call. Both games were excruciatingly bad to watch. The Cowboys were forced to start a 4th string center tonight. Tony Romo is lucky he did not get hurt.

A TD would win it for Oakland. The score is 3-0 with less than 2 minutes left. Doesn't look like it is going to happen though.

After watching this comedy, I will only post my last observation.
Terelle Pryor is not an NFL quarterback.

Romo's going to get killed by Week 2. His OL makes Herb Taylor look like Joe Thomas.

This game was a classic, Heck Oakland punter punt 3 times on the same drive; somehow Dallas gave Oakland 3 first down on 3 different 4th and longs. I do not know how they did it I was not watching it very closely because the game was so bad. The drive end with a missed FG.

A scintillating matchup ending at 3-0.

Fans seriously need to band together & boycott 1 pre-season game in each stadium. Money is the only thing the owners seem to understand.

I didn't watch a second of it. What less do you expect me to do?

For the more serious question, I recall around 2000 the Packers winning a regular season game against the Eagles 6-3, with Longwell hitting a FG at the gun. Is 3-0 that much worse?

3-0 is much worse in the preseason. Got no problem with FG wins in a regular season game - usually means I'm seeing some good shutdown defense, which I like. now if it's because of offensive ineptitude, well, that's a good day to head for the woods and some fall colors.

Or as a friend of mine once referred to it, the Arthur Murray School of Football: one, two, three, kick; one, two, three, kick.

First time it was 4th and about 4, then dallas ran into the kicker, giving them a 1st down.
The second time it was 4th and about 4 again, then dallas was offsides giving them another first down. I think the third punt actually counted, and was downed at about 3 inches from the goal line, although the raider who downed it almost let the ball roll into the endzone. It was horrible to watch.

Thanks for the memories, I forgot about how the Oakland players surrounded the ball at about the 5 yard line and still let it dribble into the end zone. I hope that drive is on YouTube it is a classic.
