 Oakland Raiders
OK, so it's a little early to call this the game of the year, but who doesn't want to see the Raider play some smashed-mouthed football and just blow the Broncos out of the Oakland Coliseum? Do we have the tools? Well yea we do, the defense has transformed itself into a bend but don't break kind of team and plays for the takeaway. Something that...
What's the buzz about?

A little worried due to the injuries to the O line and the fact that we're facing a Mike Nolan D.Let's hope last week was just a blip for JaMarcus and that this week,in front of his home crowd,he's pumped and ready to go.

Another low scoring game......Raiders by 3 !!

I can't wait! The Raiders finally get to Stomp the Evil Denver Donkeys! The Networks might not be calling this the game of the week, but for me, it's the game I look forward to all year! G O R A I D E R S ! ! ! ! !

Hey, svduran1. After watching the recent game with the Donkeys, do you still hold hope on Russell, and still do not feel that it is time for a change in every aspect of the franchise???? Dude, trust me, I know sometimes that love and loyalty can blind you to reality, hell I have been there and done that my own damn self, but the facts are that Russell hinders the entire team. We cannot continue to run a vanilla offensive scheme and rely on him and his extreme inaccuracy to win games for us. I can count on my fingers and toes every week how many times I have seen a receiver open, on a route that nearly 75% of NFL QBs can easily complete, and he continues to be high and long on all his throws. It is to the point when you ask, when is enough enough???? 3 losses, 4 losses, 10 losses when you experience the same outcome week in and week out. If I were Cable, I sit his ass IMMEDIATELY!!!! I start Bruce Gradkowski and let him move the offense and have some type of reseblemence of a running game again. The defense can only be on the field for so long during a game and not start to fold, but John Marshall isn't showing me too much either. This vanilla base scheme of Man to Man D and dropping linebackers 10 yards deep in pass coverage with a basic 4 man rush down after down has grown exhausting. Do they not have the knowledge to develop a more sophisticated and dated offensive and defensive schemes???? Or is this a direct reflection of how my man Al wants the offense and defense ran????? It is way too similar regardless of the staff of what you see Sunday after Sunday, so I know in reality that Al still has the final call in all aspects of the franchise, to include gameplanning. It needs to change and in a damn hurry. At this rate, I am currently 33 and will not see another playoff game appearance until I am 40!!!!
