THEY SAID IT:
Raiders DT Richard Seymour
"The tale of this game is not taking advantage of the opportunities. Everybody’s involved in it. I’m involved. No one’s exempt."
"The game really comes down to opportunity. We had a ton of opportunities offensively to score. We did not score (touchdowns). … We let them hang around. … I’m very disappointed. Too many opportunities to win a game, and we didn’t get it done."
Raiders coach Tom Cable
"It’s all about winning. That’s all that matters at this point and you have to get the first one, so it’s a starting point."
49ers QB Alex Smith
"We were completely fine until Frank Gore broke that run. Then I saw the momentum shift. Even after the deep touchdown, I still thought we were fine. After that run, you saw it shift completely."
Raiders CB Nnamdi Asmougha
