OAK/SD thoughts

-Jamarcus Russell seriously needs to work on his short/medium accuracy. That deep bomb to Murphy was nice, but they wouldn't have needed that if he could have throw just a few of his passes in the area of receivers.
-As I said before the season, Murphy is a better WR than DHB. Yesterday just enforced that.
-Why on Earth did the Raiders coaches deviate from the run game when it was working so well?
-It bears repeating: Philip Rivers is a classless prick. One day, someone is going to hit him a little too low for all the mouthing off, taunting, etc. I might hate this guy more than anyone else in the NFL (including Peyton, who I hate, but have utmost respect for.)
-The SD o-line is in trouble if they don't get people healthy.
-Richard Seymour is going to help the d-line in Oakland in a big way. Not only did he get constant pressure, but allowed others on the line to come through as well. He's going to get a big check from someone if he keeps it up.
-The San Diego skill players bailed Philip Rivers out. He led a nice game ending drive, but other than that, he threw several passes that receivers bailed him out on, and couldn't do much with great starting position several times. I'm aware he was under alot of pressure, but for someone who just got 100 million bucks, he needs to step up more.
-Antonio Cromartie has fallen off a cliff since his 10 INT year. What happened?
-Merriman isn't the same guy he was. At least not yet. I'm sure injuries are still affecting him, and maybe his mind is still on the assault thing.
-Nate Kaeding still looks like a turtle.
-Jamarcus Russell wouldn't be starting if it wasn't for Zach Miller. A TE is a QB's best friend indeed.
-Mcfadden and Bush are going to provide a really nice speed/power combo this season, provided they stay healthy.
-The Raiders need Chaz Schilens back. Maybe I'm abnormally high on this guy, but they have NO ONE besides Louis Murphy, and he really only fits the speed type mold.
-Good to see Antonio Gates do alright...one of the few SD players who has an ounce of class.
-San Diego seems to have no chemistry or team pride, and I'm pretty sure everyone will attribute this to Norv Turner, and I agree. He seems so dull, and just kind of shrugs things off at times when he should be energetic.
-The Raiders are morons for playing the LBs so deep on that 3rd and long to Sproles. I've never understood why more teams don't spy a solid, speedy pass catching RB in those situation. Same thing happened with NE and Fred Jackson yesterday. If there's a long bomb/hail mary type thing, trust your 3 DB's in the area to beat the 1 WR.
-LT might be close to done. He had solid stats, but showed no burst, no explosiveness that we're all used to, and he's already injured? If Norv is smart, when LT comes back, he'll RBBC to preserve LT.
-Legedu Naanee needs to overtake Chris Chambers on the depth chart. Dude is done.
