Whoot! We're at Miami next week and they haven't been looking good so 2-2 doesn't seem out of the question.

Maybe Kiffin did not want to start Culpepper until the Miami game and to give him some more time to learn offense. Did Kiffin go to Culpepper in the 2nd half or was McCown too banged up to play?

Mccown was too banged up to play.

WOOOHHH! that's all i got to say... that game was intense, i was pretty damn scared. i was pretty surprised by the prevent defense that double R was playing at the end of the game. I disagreed with the decision, but it worked out.

on another note, Jordan is continuing to show his critics he can be a reliable back. Also, the two back rotation we had going was really hurting Cleveland, can't wait to see what happens with Rhodes.

Culpepper looked pretty good too, except for some overthrown balls (such as the Fargas pass). Will be interesting to see what happens next week against Miami.

On a sour note, we really need to find a way to get into the end zone when we have 1st and goal. If we had gotten into the end zone the two times we had 1st and goal, it really wouldn't have been a close game. Only getting 3 points from those really could have hurt us in the end.

all in all, a win is a win! Cheers to the rest of the Raider Nation!

Thanks 40

The guy only covered the first half of the game. Damn reporters. I was almost sick when the Browns got in field goal range. I figured if anyone can f--k up a win we can. Kiffin learns fast but I think I'm still in shock. Cheers to all though here's to many more wins!!!!

The offense did well but our D really steppd it up today. It was awesome to see both come together in one game tho! LOL

^ You mean except for letting the opposing team march right down the field for a late, game-winning (Thank God for small favors) score, three straight weeks in a row?

I'm hoping C-Pep gets all the starting reps in practice this week and gets the start in Miami. I'd love for him to go out and make Miami pay for letting him go.
