Raiders: Overtime Loss and Bottom Line

raiders: Especially with the Falcons coming to town Thursday night. "We can say we played terrible, we can say we played OK, we can say we played good," Koetter said. "The bottom line is we had chances to win the game and we didn't." The Bucs sputtered offensively after a strong opening quarter against the Raiders, according to Guelph Mercury. The defence wilted late, with Oakland dominating time of possession and outgaining Tampa Bay 438 yards to 106 after halftime. Still, Tampa Bay coach Dirk Koetter had to talk Monday about an overtime loss to the Oakland Raiders a day earlier, even if he and his players are in a hurry to move on. Neither unit capitalized on mistakes by the Raiders, who committed the game only turnover and overcame an NFL-record 23 accepted penalties for 200 yards. "There a lot of examples of things we did wrong in that game," Koetter said. Preparation for the Falcons began Monday, beginning a condensed practice schedule ahead of Thursday. "The main hurdle by far is the players' bodies recovering and getting ready to play. ... We've got a laundry list of guys with bumps and bruises," Koetter said. There no time for decompressing this week, though. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
