That was only 21 years ago (341 games including playoffs). To be fair, we did have a shutout in preseason just a few years ago vs Houston lol.
Secondary looks promising, especially considering four or five of them aren't even playing tonight.

You're thinking of a no-hitter in baseball xD. Football is a mans sport and they don't believe in jinxes lol.

Other than Cassel, every QB in this game has looked, well, like it's the 1st game of preseason lol.

McGloin - 64.0
Ponder - 61.0
Teddy - 56.3
Schaub - 50.3
Carr - 47.4

Locke punts tonight:
1. 33 yds (inside 20)
2. 40 yds (touchback)
3. 47 yds
4. 31 yds
5. 37 yds
6. 41 yds
7. 38 yds
A 38 yard average and not much hang time. He's been awful.

That's what I like to see from a coach, Zim looked pretty serious with James there.

Damn, no shutout. I didn't jinx it, Ponders inability to move the chains is what jinxed it lol.

Man these raiders announcers are brutal, the guy sounds a hundred years old and knows absolutely nothing about football.

We have quite a knack of making scrub QB's look like Joe friggin Montana in the 2 min drill don't we?

Lockes best punt of the night and it was still a mediocre 45yds.
