Cable’s cojones in the right place

 Oakland Raiders
Though few positives may be had for Oakland Raiders fans after Sunday’s 20-13 loss to the AFC West rival Kansas City Chiefs, at least loyalists can take solace in that stale play-calling certainly wasn’t to blame for the loss. Maybe somebody on the Raider coaching staff flicked on the computer recently, surfed the Internet and happened to trip ...
What's the buzz about?

It was Christmas for KC yesterday. We gave the game yestareday. We should have won this game if not for bad execution and bad coaching:

- With 3-3 and field goal position Cable has to call a field goal and give us a 6-3 lead. Intead he chooses a 10 yard run by a 265 pound kicker, we lose the ball and KC leads us 3-10. Poor call and poor execution.

- JaMarcus missed many open receivers (receivers dropped some passes too: Lelie, Miller, McFadden,...) but one was key: overthrowing an open Curry in the end zone on forth down. poor execution: very alarming and poor accuracy.

- Gibril Wilson dropped an almost sure interception, few plays later, Larry Johnson scored the only offensive TD for KC.

We should have won this one.

well, i said earlier in the week that this game worried me cause we wouldn't be able to stop thigpen throwing to gonazalez, and we didn't....i was listening to a late night sports talk radio show and a caller questioned will russell be a decent QB in the NFL?.and the host a former scout said what i also being concerned about, he said that russell is young and immature, he wasn't a good college QB and didn't win the starting spot until late in camp of his junior year, yep thats right! only 1 year starting as a college QB, didn't have many big games. Also to be a great QB you have to eat/sleep and dedicate yourself to being a NFL QB and russell doesn't do that....so that leaves me to ponder the question, what do we do now? and what direction are we headed in?
