THEY SAID IT "We’re not on the practice field anymore. The lights are on. We need to go out and play. We’re facing someone else. It was the first opportunity for us to form our identity for the season. We went out and we didn’t play near to expectations or our standard and we need to go back and figure out how to play that way next week."

Raiders QB Matt Schaub

"I’m disappointed in the way that we played. I thought we’d come out and be sharper than that and execute better than that. The penalties really were the big story of the game.”

Raiders coach Dennis Allen
