Yeah, I know it's just preseason but it's football players in helmets and pads smashing into players from a different team. Hell yeah!

Much better.

'Duh fan, what do you see for Tuiaso-sopo moving forward? We'll get to see a bit of him tonight, albeit against a preseason defense. He didn't exactly thrive when given the reins last season. Any chance he'll amount to anything more than a career backup?

In the current system being employed by Oakland Tui is square peg/ round hole.

In another system with his ability to move around I'd give him a look.

IMO it's Tui's last season in Oakland.

Gruden will probably welcome him with open arms next year.

In all honesty though I don't see Tui as starting material in the NFL.

Personally I'm looking forward to getting a long look at Andrew Walter.

I can't wait to see Aaron Brooks in a Raider uniform. All will be well in South Louisiana.

Three and out with a penalty. The 'Duhs are in mid-season form.

At least A.B. didn't fumble a snap on their own 20. He's looking good!

9 plays run.. only 3 passing. Let's hope Andy can keep this up all year!

No injuries is my only concern.

He saw to that by pulling all his starters after that first set. Everything is just watching the young guys now

Nifty pass from Brooks to Anderson.

Gallery has a false start and was beaten for a sack.

The "B" word is approaching faster and faster with each failure.....

Nice int by Washington, almost forgot what those looked like last season.

Overall a bit sloppy, but to be expected.

Bring on the kids.

Nothing better than a 3-1/2 hour preseason game...good to have the NFL back!

First impressions of NBC's broadcast...I've got no problem with it. I'm awaiting to see the overhyped monstrosity that will be ESPN's Monday Night Football. They've been plugging that bitch ever since they crossed the T's and dotted the I's on that new TV deal.

Kornholer in the booth is going to be Dennis Miller Part 2.

From what I gather it was a pretty unimpressive pre-season opening 'performance' by Oakland.

Appears Philly's starters did a number on Oakland's on BOTH sides of the ball.

If the 'duds can't do a better yob stopping the run this season is a waste before it even get's started.

Art's got his work cut out for him.

Still nice to notch a W though.

He fumbled 3x and probably won't make the team this year so I really don't care.

(ok, I didn't want the kid to be paralyzed or anything but in terms of injuries, his is unimportant).
