This a little late this week as it took an extra night to watch the game for the second time.
Studs
Darrius Heyward-Bey
He made a great hands catch and already has nine receptions for 164 yards in three games which surpasses his entire rookie season.
Kevin Boss
4 catches for 78 yards. He's proving to be every bit the weapon Miller was in the passing game and he blocks well also.
The Offensive Line
Without singling out a single player, these guys have been the surprise of the season. Campbell has all day to throw and they are opening holes for the backs as well. Jared Veldheer, Stefen Wisniewski, Samson Satele, Cooper Carlisle, and even Khalif Barnes. Sprinkle in a little Joe Barksdale. No stars here, this group is getting it done together.
Duds
Richard Seymour
Penalties, penalties, penalties. Complain if you want, but the penalties can't happen. Giving free yards to Tom Brady is a recipe for disaster. To cap it off, Seymour didn't have a very good day putting pressure on Brady. It's Seymour's defense and they got waxed on Sunday through the air and on the ground.
Joe Porter
I'm not sure who thought it would be wise to put Joe Porter on Wes Welker for most of the afternoon. That didn't work out. I feel bad for putting Porter here because he was put in an impossible situation, but he still played poorly.
Rolando McClain
The Patriots ran all over the Raiders. Rolando McClain needs to be responsible for the running game as it is his primary job. There are many factors that go into stopping the run, but McClain is not getting it done. McClain has his own issues as a player and he can't make up for others deficiencies. He doesn't get much help and he's not capable of overcoming others mistakes. He must play better for the Raiders to have a chance.
Tyvon Branch
A few rather poor angles and tackles in the game Sunday. Pretty uncharacteristic day for Branch. He's always putting in the effort and that is admirable, but he didn't play well last Sunday.
Jason Campbell
The first interception was killer and the second the final nail in the Raiders coffin. If the Raiders score a touchdown on that drive things could have gone very differently than they did.
