Despite everything that the Las Vegas Raiders (4-5) have gone through this past week, they came together as a team in a huge way beating the New York Giants (2-7) 30-6. A lot of credit has to go to interim head coach Antonio Pierce (former linebacker coach with the team) who stepped into a most difficult situation.

Sunday afternoon the Raiders took on the struggling Giants. The unfortunate truth is that both of these teams are struggling. The Raiders are reeling from the firings of head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler. There has been dissension from not only coaches but players as well. An open floor meeting with players apparently did not go well at all. It got ugly from all sides players to coaches.

McDaniels tenure resulted in an anemic 9-16 record in less than two seasons and his exit was not unexpected considering how disgruntled many players and coaches had been for some time. How they came around in today’s game will spoke volumes as to how committed these players are to each other and it showed in the run game and improved offense and defense.

Game recap: The first quarter saw the return of Giant’s quarterback Daniel Jones after missing three weeks with a neck injury. New York desperately needs a win Sunday if they want to even figure in a possible wild card. The Raiders started rookie Aidan O’Connell at quarterback benching Jimmy Garoppolo. Two teams in total disarray. The first half was a nightmare for Jones who was injured and Tommy DeVito took over under center.

How would these two quarterbacks fare in this game? The answer came in the first half. DeVito threw two interceptions while O’Connell had a great first half. He finished the first two quarters going 9 of 10 with 135 passing yards.

The Raiders took an early lead in the first quarter 7-0. Jakobi Meyers rushed for 17 yards and the first Las Vegas touchdown at 9:45. Going into the second quarter the Raiders really amped things up. The quarter belonged to Raider running back Josh Jacobs who lit up the Las Vegas offense.

He rushed for two yards and a second Raider touchdown at 5:06. Jacobs struck again at 1:55 giving the Raiders a 21-0 lead. Las Vegas kicker Daniel Carlson had successfully kicked three extra points and at 0.04 kicked a 24 yard field goal giving Las Vegas a 24-0 lead going into the locker room. This team had pulled together in an extraordinary and quite unexpected way.

While O’Connell had not thrown any touchdowns, he did set his team up successfully driving deep into Giant’s territory throughout the first half. He continued connecting in the third quarter and mid-way through the quarter had already surpassed over 200 yards. The Raiders extended their lead at 8:23 with a successful Carlson kick for 46 yards and a 27-0 lead. Las Vegas would take that lead into the fourth quarter.

The Giants finally broke through in the fourth quarter scoring their first touchdown of the day. DeVito connected with Wan’Dale Robinson for nine yards and the score. New York attempted a two-point conversion which failed and the Giants came away with the six points trailing 27-6. Mid-way through the quarter Carlson kicked a 41 yards field goal extending the Las Vegas lead 30-6.

The Giants got a nice drive going with 8:24 left on the clock going 48 yards in five plays going into Raider territory threatening on the Las Vegas 34 yard line. The New York drive stalled and they turned the ball back over to Las Vegas.

At the two-minute warning the Raiders were looking for more driving down to the New York 35 yard line. This game finished quietly as the Raiders put out a great offensive and defensive effort pushing their season record to 4-5 with the 30-6 final.

The Raiders receiving core had a great game with seven players catching passes for 8.5 yards or better with Tre Tucker finishing with 52 yards on two receptions. Rushing honors went to Jacobs who had 98 yards for the game and two touchdowns.

In Week 10 the Las Vegas Raiders will take on the New York Jets at Allegiant Stadium in another home game for the team. The Jets have yet to play their Week 9 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers looking for their fourth straight win. That game will be aired on Monday Night Football. The Raiders vs Jets game in Week 10 will be played on Sunday Night Football with kickoff scheduled for 5:20 PM on NBC.

Raiders Garoppolo and Meyers Debut Tops Broncos In Season Opener 17-16

By Barbara Mason

The 2023 NFL season got underway in earnest starting with Thursday Night Football. Sunday, 28 teams took the field with the Las Vegas Raiders taking on the Denver Broncos in Denver. This was Jimmy Garoppolo’s debut with the Raiders and it was also Sean Payton’s debut as head coach of the Broncos. Despite the deafening noise that is a part of Mile High the Raiders prevailed 17-16

RECAP-After one quarter, the Raiders had a slim lead 7-6 although at the half Las Vegas trailed 13-10. Neither team found the end zone in the third quarter and the Raiders till trailed by three points. It all turned around for Las Vegas in the fourth quarter.

The Broncos kicked a 24 yard field goal extending their lead 16-10. Jimmy Garoppolo capped off a 75 yard drive finding Jakobi Meyers for six yards and the touchdown.

Jimmy Garoppolo threw two touchdown passes to fellow newcomer Jakobi Meyers. He finished with 200 passing yards and Meyers pulled in 81 yards off of nine receptions. The Broncos did intercept a pass in the end zone with 6:34 remaining in the game but despite that the Raiders were able to win on that final drive.

They held the Broncos offense hanging onto the slim lead. In the final minutes of the game, the Raiders held Denver to their only three and out in the game. The Raiders got the ball back with five minutes left in the game and the Broncos never got it back.

It was a horrible showing for the Bronco special teams especially from kicker Will Lutz. He missed two field goals wide right, very shocking from the usually reliable kicker. This was the biggest problem for the Broncos in this game.

Russell Wilson finished with 177 yards and was 27 of 34. He also had two touchdowns in the game. Javonte Williams led the Broncos with 52 yards on 13 rushes. This was his first game since a serious knee injury nearly a year ago sidelined him.

The Raiders only had 61 yards rushing but it was Josh Jacobs who finished with 48 yards. It’s a sure bet that he will continue to rack up the yards as the season goes on. The bottom line in this game was that this was not a pretty win. The Raiders had to get the job done and that’s just what they did.

The Raiders will take on the Buffalo Bills in week two of the 2023 season. The Bills will take on the New York Jets on Monday night football in their opener. It will be a short week for Buffalo, this game being played at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo.

Sunday’s Kickoff is scheduled for 10:00 AM and the weather at game-time is being forecasted at 64 degrees. Las Vegas played in great conditions avoiding the frigid weather that comes along later in the season.

#1 Rich, big win for the Las Vegas Raiders on opening week edging the Denver Broncos on the road. Winning the first one has to always be big to start the season.

#2 Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 200 yards and two touchdowns. Both passes to receiver Jakobi Meyers both Meyers and Garoppolo making their Raider season debuts.

#3 The loss for the Broncos head coach Sean Payton is his first loss as the Broncos new head coach. It was a close game but a frustrating loss for Payton.

#4 The Raiders now have a seven game winning streak over AFC rivals and they did all of this without pass rusher Chandler Jones.

#5 Raiders continue their road travels for week 2 against the Buffalo Bills Highmark Stadium in Ochard Park New York. The Bills open up their season on Monday Night Football at the Meadowlands against the New York Jets. Rich talk about how you see the Raiders and Bills doing battle next Sun Sep 17th a 10:00AM PT kick off.

That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast: A’s might sell source; A’s have deal with contractors to build Vegas park ; Kings Fox hopes to be in game 5 line up

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

Oakland A’s owner John Fisher could be considering selling the A’s according to a source, the A’s despite low attendance are making money this season and could sell to an owner who could keep the team in Oakland (file photo SF Gate)

On That’s Amaury podcast:

#1 Amaury, Oakland A’s owner John Fisher amongst all the negative publicity of moving the team to Las Vegas and having crowds of 3,000 to 6,000 fans on average per game is actually making money is considering selling the team according to news reports on KRON 4 and Scott Ostler at the San Francisco Chronicle.

#2 Ostler who did not name any of the groups who are interested in buying the A’s said that he heard from a source that is reliable that Fisher would consider selling the team as the cost and value of the team continues to increase. Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob expressed interest in buying the team and that’s a standing offer.

#3 On Monday MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred apologized to Oakland fans saying he’s really sorry for any hurt the A’s fans are feeling but it’s not Fisher’s fault. The city of Oakland couldn’t get a deal done in a timely fashion. In the same breath Manfred said that Vegas will present a real revenue enhancing opportunity.

#4 Turning to the NBA the Sacramento Kings De’Aaron Fox has fractured his finger on his shooting hand. Fox lead all scorers in game four during Sunday afternoon’s game against the Golden State Warriors with 38 points and has been a crucial player in the Kings line up. Fox injured the tip of his left index finger. It’s got to be an impact when you lose your leading scorer.

#5 With Fox the Kings have not ruled him out of the line up for game five on Wednesday and cold wear protective covering over his index finger. If Fox suffers more pain the next two highest scorers Domantas Sabonis and Keegan Murray will need to step up. Fox is one of the guys who got the Kings this far it’s been quite a ride for Sacramento but without Fox it’s a sure test for the Kings.

#6 The Green Bay Packers have dealt quarterback Aaron Rogers to the New York Jets. Rogers quarterbacked for the Green Bay Packers for 18 seasons and will wear No. 8 instead of No.12 which was formerly worn by Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namith who gave his consent for Rogers to wear the number. Rogers declined and will wear the No.8 which he wore when he quarterback at Cal.

Former New York Met Noah Snydergaard will be winding up for the Los Angeles Angels during the 2021 season he’s signed onto a one year deal which was completed on Mon Nov 15, 2021 with the Angels (AP News file photo)

On Headline Sports with Jessica:

#1 Former New York Met pitcher Noah Syndergaard has signed onto a one year $21 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels. Snydergaard pitched for seven years for the New York Mets Snydergaard joins an Angels team that is struggling with starting pitching and hopes to shore that up joining forces with the face of baseball and new teammate Shohei Ohtani.

#2 Brooklyn Nets superstar Kyrie Irving on Sunday sent out two tweets one showing a picture of the matrix and the other saying “God never fails.” The City of New York has a full vaccine protocol for employees, players, and fans and Irving can’t come into Barclay Center until he’s fully vaccinated.

#3 From all indications from his responses and convictions he will not take the vaccine. Kyrie is allowed to travel with the Nets but the Nets have elected to have him sit out for road trips until he is fully vaccinated which does not look likely.

#4 Former New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan had some heavy criticism for Jets head coach Robert Saleh saying he has philosophical differences in his coaching abilities and Ryan added that he’s insulted when he’s compared to Saleh regarding defensive strategies. Saleh said if Ryan feels that personal about it he knows where to find me.

#5 Jessica the New York Yankees and Mets are looking to make some moves to acquire free agents Starling Marte and the Yankees have express interest in Matt Chapman both who were teammates on the Oakland A’s last season. Marte last season played with the Miami Marlins before being dealt to Oakland mid season and hit .310, 145 hits, 12 HRs, and 55 RBIs, Chapman hit .210, 111 hits, 27 home runs, 72 RBIs.

NFL podcast with Tony Renteria: Lawrence to start for Jags; Dalton to start for Bears; Jets Curry develops blood clots out for the season

Tough break for the New York Jets defensive end Vinny Curry as doctors have ordered that Curry play no contact sports and will be out for three to six months (file photo from Sports Illustrated)

On NFL podcast with Tony R:

#1 The Jacksonville Jaguars have named Trevor Lawrence as their starting quarterback, Jags head coach Urban Myer made the announcement on Wednesday and Lawrence is slated to make his start on Sep 12th versus against the Houston Texans in Houston.

#2 Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy has announced that Andy Dalton will be the starting quarterback and he was selected over Justin Fields to start. Dalton has a lot of veteran experience but also Nagy had to measure how Dalton looked in pre season and camp as well.

#3 Sad story Tony, New York Jets defensive end Vinny Curry will miss the entire 2021 season due to a rare blood disorder and Curry had to have his spleen removed which led to complications. During the recovery process Curry developed blood clots doctors have put Curry on blood thinners and said he is not to play contact sports for three to six months and miss this season.

#4 San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that while he hasn’t decided on a starting quarterback yet there has been talk that the 49ers who are favored to win the NFC West will be going with quarterback Trey Lance. Lance in his last pre season game threw two touchdown passes and saw more time under center than starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in last Sunday’s game against the Chargers.

#5 Tony, the Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Nathan Peterman has started in the first two pre season games and completed both games. This Sunday against the 49ers do you see starting quarterback Derek Carr and back up Marcus Mariota getting some time or will Peterman play most of the game?

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Superbowl Wayne: Colts, Rivers have won five of last six as Raiders prepare to host this Sunday

On the Raiders podcast with Superbowl Wayne:

#1 The Las Vegas Raiders (7-5) in their last game in New Jersey at the Meadowlands against the New York Jets (0-12) needless to say shocked the nation when Raiders quarterback Derek Carr  with a Hail Mary comeback touchdown pass with 26 seconds left in the game for a 46 yard pass to wide Henry Ruggs III for the game winning touchdown.

#2 The Raiders had a lead against the Jets in the first half 17-13 but the second half the Raiders didn’t score in the third quarter and the Jets got 15 points in the fourth quarter before Carr’s game saving touchdown pass to get Vegas by the Jets.

#3 Carr threw well enough to win the game 381 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception. But it was his pass to Ruggs III to win the game will be the play everybody will remember.

#4 The Raiders host the Indianapolis Colts (8-4) this Sunday at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise. This will be the Raiders first home game in three weeks after getting crushed by the Atlanta Falcons(4-8) in the first leg of their road trip before narrowly winning against the Jets last Sunday. The Raiders no doubt are looking for a little home cooking.

#5 Indianapolis Colts have won four of their last six games. The Colts quarterback Phillip Rivers has been doing a bang up job for Indianapolis in his last game he and the Colts beat a well prepared Houston Texans (4-8) team in a close contest 26-20. Rivers threw for 285 yards and two touchdowns against the Texans.

The New York Jets defense was full of surprises last Sunday against the Buffalo Bills holding Buffalo to only 18 points despite losing 18-10 (photo from syracuse.com)

On Headline Sports with Jessica:

#1 The New York Jets (0-7) are the laughing stock of the City of New York but yet the Jets head coach Adam Gase says he has a game plan each week. Last Sunday might have been their best game although they lost 18-10 to the Buffalo Bills (5-2) in terms of playing a good defensive game.

#2 The Las Vegas Raiders (3-3) were coming into last Sunday’s game with lots of confidence they were coming off a close seven point loss to the Buffalo on Oct 8th, then the following week Oct 11th they dominated the Kansas City Chiefs (6-1) in KC, had a restful bye week on Sun 18 but got raked at home by the Tampa Bay Bucs (5-2) 45-20 behind Bucs quarterback Tom Brady’s four touchdown afternoon.

#3 The San Francisco 49ers (4-3) who lost two tough games against two teams who were struggling the Miami Dolphins (3-3)  and the Philadelphia Eagles (2-4-1) but came but strong against the Rams (5-2) and Patriots (2-4) for two straight wins. The 49ers face the Seattle Seahawks (5-1) looking at the NFC West that’s a real tough division to win games in as the 49ers head to Seattle this Sunday.

#4 The other day Dallas Cowboys (2-5) owner Jerry Jones was on live radio at 105.5 The Fan and told the host to “shut up a moment and let me answer” after he felt he was being interrupted by the host. How much of that is frustration out of losing quarterback Dak Prescott for the season and having lost to Washington 25-3 last Sunday?

#5 The Houston Texans (5-1) announced on Wednesday that they have closed their training facility due to a positive Covid-19 test from second-year offensive guard Max Scharping . The Texans said that the facility will remain closed for deep cleaning and they will take advantage of the bye week on Nov 1st and test players and get the facility ready for their next game Nov 8th against the Jaguars (1-6) in Jacksonville.
