@JimboX

It's that time of year again, folks! As is the tradition here at The Internet Is In America, we're going to do our damnedest to give you LIVE play-by-play coverage of every single Oakland Raiders game of the season, including tonight's road game against Miami. Join us LIVE on Sunday, Nov. 5 for our patented possession-by-possession coverage of week 9's Raiders vs. Dolphins game, with the festivities beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern time. There'll be updates every commercial break, so be sure to bookmark this shit prior to kickoff. And, as always, do us and yourselves a kindness and let all your fellow Raiders fans know what we're up to by posting links to our coverage on your social media pages. Hey, we're all in this together, remember (#SilverAndBlackLivesMatter)

5:48 PM - Alright, you fucks, I'm back after taking week 8 off. As we all know, the Raiders are 3-5 on the season and if they don't win tonight's game against the Dolphins, their season is going to be deader the chances of a Tom Petty world tour. 

5:51 PM - The kickoff is right around 8:30 p.m. I'll be back in an hour or so with the relevant, precursory stats.

6:24 PM - For the Raiders, cornerbacks Gareon Conly and David Amerson are both scratchs. Linebackers Marquel Lee and Nicholas Morrow, as well as fullback Jamize Olawale, will all be gametime decisions.

6:25 PM - For the Dolphins, Jay Cutler, receiver Dante Parker, guard Jermon Bushrod and defensive ends William Haynes and Andre Branch are all listed as questionable. Obviously, the Fins will be without top rusher Jay Ajayi, who was traded to the Eagles earlier this week. That means the Dolphins will likely rely upon Damien Williams and Perry Senorise to carry the run game.

6:28 PM - Here's the key offensive and defensive stats for each team:

6:29 PM - Vegas has the Raiders listed as a -3.5 favorite. The over/under is set at 44.5

6:33 PM - ESPN's Football Power Index gives the Raiders a 52.6 percent chance to win tonight's game. For what it's worth, the Raiders have been absolutely terrible against the spread, so last second gamblers - take heed.

8:30 PM - Patterson is going to return the opening kick for Oakland.

8:31 PM - It goes through the end zone, so the Raiders will take over at their own 25.

8:31 PM - Marshawn Lynch is back from suspension, by the way. First down coming up.

8:31 PM - And Lynch gets hit behind the line for a one yard loss.

8:32 PM - Lynch picks up a pass for maybe a yard.

8:32 PM - Third and nine. And Cook hauls it in to move the chains.

8:33 PM - That was a 35-yard gain.

8:36 PM - Raiders have a second and nine at the MIA 30. And Cook hauls it in to move the sticks once more.

8:37 PM - Lynch is hit well behind the line. Flags are down. False start against the offense pushes the Raiders back five yards.

8:39 PM - Third and 14. Carr has to throw it away under pressure. 

8:40 PM - Here comes Giorgio for a 36-yard field goal. It's right down the middle. The Raiders take an early 3-0 lead.

8:58 PM - Alright. Still third and nine. At the OAK 30. Flags are down. The throw is incomplete. 

8:58 PM - Miami was offsides. That makes it three and four. 

8:59 PM - Cooper can't hold on to it. Here comes Marquette to punt.

9:02 PM - Dolphins take over around their own 20.

9:03 PM - Second and 7. Looks like the receiver went down a yard shy of the first down marker.

9:03 PM - Third and one. And that'll be it for the first quarter.

9:08 PM- Edwards hit with an unnecessary roughness penalty.

9:08 PM - That gives Miami 26 free yards, after the initial pickup.

9:16 PM - Miami has it at their own 48. The back runs for no gain.

9:17 PM - Thomas has enough to move the chains. An 11-yard gain.

9:18 PM - Well, not quite. It's actually second and one.

9:18 PM - The fullback appears to have enough to move the sticks.

9:20 PM - Thomas takes it to the OAK 25. A 15-yard gain.

9:20 PM - Oh shit, the ball comes loose. THE RAIDERS RECOVER. Credit Bruce Irvin for stripping the ball from the carrier.

9:23 PM - Raiders take over at their own 19. Cook is wide open - he takes it to the OAK 46.

9:24 PM - Crabtree with 11 on a pitch and catch.

9:24 PM - Flags down. There's an uneccesary roughness call against Lee Smith. Holy shit, he literally went over to the referee and said "I was just playing around."

9:40 PM - Third down coming up. Cutler's pass gets batted down.

9:41 PM - Dolphins go for a 49-yard field goal. It's good. That narrows Oakland's lead down to 10-9. The Raiders get it back with 32 seconds left in the half.

9:43 PM - Patterson goes down at the 24 yard line. Twenty-eight seconds left.

10:02 PM - The Dolphins take a touchback. The field is all hazy from the halftime fireworks. It's not quite as bad as the Pats/Falcons game from a few weeks back, but it is pretty wonky looking.

10:03 PM - YES, THEY ARE BRINGING OUT THE MADDEN CAM!

10:03 PM - Julius Thomas can't hold on to the ball.
