Live Raiders Blogging

San Diego will have the ball first and 10 at their own 20 yardline.

The score:
Chargers - 0
Raiders - 0

1. Ladanian Tomlinson on the first carry of the game tackled by Fabian Washington after a 4 yard gain.
   
2. End around to Eric Parker picks up the first down up to the San Diego 42 Yardline. 18 yard gain...booo!
   
3. Handoff to LT gains a couple of yards for a short gain and is tackled by Kirk Morrison.
   
4. Second and 7: Rivers pass complete to LT up to the Oakland 45 yardline and a Charger first down. Nice pass, it looks like LT is in for another big game against the Raiders which means I could be bitching soon.
   
5. LT carries to the Oakland 41 yardline where he is tackled by Thomas Howard.
   
6. LT carries the ball to the Raiders 36 yardline bringing up a third and short. I expect an Antonio Gates pass.
   
7. Third and 2: LT catches the ball and takes it down to the Raider 27 yardline. (I was wrong.
   
8. LT again on the draw tackled by Derrick Gibson and a host of others.
   
9. Phillip Rivers takes a timeout.
   
   Commercial break.
   
   Lots of Ladanian Tomlinson in the early going which is no surprise, all but one Charger play has gone to LT. Philip Rivers looks fine so far in his first NFL start but then he hasn't had to do much yet either.
   
   I love the Raiders season ticket commercial...it totally rules.
   
   
10. Second down and 5: End Around is fumbled, recovered by Philip Rivers and is tackled by Thomas Howard back at the 29. They tried the end around to Eric Parker again and this time it backfired.
    
11. Third down and 12: The toss to LT gets nothing.
    
12. Forth down: Nate Kayding kicks a field goal.

That drive had the potential to be a lot worse for the Raiders as they weren't stopping LT at all, only break came on the fumble that lost 7 yards.
