Both the Bay Area teams lost this weekend suggesting that this could be a long year for their fans. The 9'ers at least gutted it out and lost by a touchdown to the Arizona Cardinals. No such fight from the Raiders, who were blanked 27-0 by a very good Chargers team.
The weak link in the Raiders offense appears to be their new quaterback, Aaron Brooks, who they signed in the off-season. In the few minutes I watched the game last night, he was sacked at least three times and couldn't connect with a receiver on each of his throws. Peter King of CNNSI in a column, predicted Brooks would be a disappointment; Brooks, last night, seemed to be on a mission to prove him right. In the end, he was yanked and replaced by his backup, but by then the game had gone away from the Raiders.
Here's to a long season for Bay Area football fans.
