While Del Rio did a great job of not quitting after what was a discouraging starts, the same can not be said for the rest of his coaching staff. For starters, Ken Norton has to take some of the blame for this week’s loss, as his play-calling not only surrendered a lead that the Packers would never relinquish, but also took the crowd out of the game by giving up a score just seconds after Oakland took the lead.
“I didn’t say anything but seniority, man, ” Woodson said.
Carrie had a rough afternoon overall, picking up two pass interference penalties and also getting run over by Randall Cobb on a second-and-17 play that picked up 19 yards for a first down.
“He looks a lot more comfortable out there”, Jones said. When Carr has the ball too long and is attempting to make something happen, the end result is usually bad.
The Oakland Raiders won the coin toss and opted to defer as play began in Oakland.
But the two have put up awfully similar statistics this year with. Their first touchdown of the game came after an interception that gave Aaron Rodgers and company the ball inside the red zone, and their second score came directly on a returned interception from Damarious Randall.
But beyond the stats are some similarities in style with both players comparable in size, arm strength and athleticism.
“It hurts. It hurt my heart to be honest because I know how much work I put into this, how much work our team puts into this”, Carr said. “I tried to emulate some of the stuff that he did”.
Heading to the playoffs for the seventh straight season, the Packers will face the Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings the next two weeks, which will determine where they are seeded heading into the post season.
While Cooper would’ve rather celebrated a victory, many of his teammates agree that a 6-8 season does not define who they are as a team.
It came after an erratic first half during which the Packers punted on four of their first five possessions and then fumbled away a promising drive late in the half. James Jones has caught 35 passes for 660 yards (team best 18.9 yards per catch) and has seven TDs on the season. Now at 39, Woodson is still performing at a high level. If the Packers pull out a victory, they will clinch a playoff berth.
“You just have to turn on the last game. It’s good to try to prove it to everybody”. Going into Week 15, the Raiders come in ranked eighth in the AFC when it comes to seeding, with three teams above them in the running for a wild card spot. He boxed out defenders to secure position for back-shoulder throws, outleaped corners for contested balls and even beat coverage deep for a 30-yard touchdown. The Raiders cut Jones this offseason after signing Michael Crabtree and drafting Amari Cooper. It would take a win Thursday over visiting San Diego and going into Kansas City and winning to close the season. “That jumps off the screen at you, for sure”, McCarthy said. “We’re right where we need to be”.
He led the Raiders back Sunday. Micah Hyde intercepted Derek Carr and returned it 34 yards to the Oakland two. He has 1,040 receiving yards this season.
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers was sacked on third down by Raiders DE Khalil Mack.
More than anything, though, this game again highlighted that without injured Jordy Nelson, the Packers’ receiving corps doesn’t threaten defensive game planners. “This isn’t past year”.

Carr struggled early in the game, putting the Raiders in the hole with costly interceptions before recovering to bring the Raiders back within one point going into halftime before returning to his struggles in the second half. Gafford has played 116 career games.
