1st quarter ended with 28-yard pickup on a slant pass from Alex Smith to Delanie Walker, beating Kamerion Wimbley.
*************************************************************************************************
On 4th and inches, Nnamdi Asomugha called for holding on Ted Ginn on timing route. 49ers get a fresh set of downs but Raiders do not yield a single yard.
Joe Nedney with 28-yard FG, culminating 55-yard drive on 9 plays in 3:50.
Raiders 7, 49ers 3

Jason Campbell gets the Brett Favre treatment - sacked hard by a blitzing Patrick Willis.
*************************************************************************************************
Shane Lechler's punt goes 57 yards...Phillip Adams goes 83 yards for the TD. 49ers 10, #Raiders 7, 9:41 remaining in 2nd quarter
*************************************************************************************************
Jason Campbell sacked hard by Travis LaBoy, who beat Mario Henderson badly on left end. Campbell stayed down a good 5 minutes and was carted off the field as trainers kept his neck stationary. Was a scary sight, until Campbell got up on his own power and rode "shotgun" on the cart taking him off the field.
He was diagnosed with a "stinger" and Bruce Gradkowski has replaced him.
*************************************************************************************************
This supposedly "new and improved" run defense is getting shredded now. Plus, Alex Smith is picking aprt the pass defense underneath.
*************************************************************************************************
49ers march 60 yards in 10 plays, Smith hitting a wide-open Josh Morgan for a 16-yard TD 19th 1:13 to play in half. Raiders defense looks deflated, and for good reason.Wimbley and Branch seem to be "discussing" who blew the coverage.
*************************************************************************************************
Gradkowski, out of the shotgun, hits Louis Murphy in stride on 2nd and 9 for a 74-yard TD. Murphy spun safety Reggie Smith around and beat him badly on what was nothing more than a simple "go-route." That can't make Samurai Mike happy.

HALFTIME - 49ers 17, Raiders 14
