 Oakland Raiders
In his four-year career with the USC Trojans, Will Buchanon caught four passes for 15 yards. In four quarters with the Oakland Raiders, Buchanon matched that reception total. On Sunday, the young wideout emerged as one of Oakland's few offensive bright spots, exiting the evening as the game's leader in both receptions and yardage. The rookie...

I like seeing the development of Buchanon and Wusu, among other undrafted free agents, but what is our scouting department doing for us. It is nice to pick up these diamonds in the rough but what about the lack of productivity of too many other draft choices.

I enojoyed seeing some Raider football on the box! I knew it was the pre-season and I wasn't expecting perfection but I would've taken it of course. Still not in the pre-season and especially not in game one! I saw bright spots on both sides of the ball. The development of WR Willie Buchanon jr. is going well and I would love to see him and LB Timi Wusu make the 53 man roster. I knew the all the media outlets would again enjoy talking smack about the Raiders seeing as it has become a habit for all the haters in the media! When you don't listen to the idiots out there you will notice what wasn't reported, the Raiders defense was talked about badly for not stopping the run against the eagles but the ran for 73 yards whereas the Raiders ran for 76 yards. Small potatoes I know but why weren't the eagles glossed with the same "they need to stop the run gloss"? The Raiders defense caused 5 TURNOVERS!!! Can any of us Raider fans recall that from a few of last seasons games? All of our rookies competed and the experience will do them well. Our team is younger and faster and Wwe're in the process of coming up from the bottom and moving in the right direction. Our best football is ahead of us fellas not behind us. Go RAIDERS!!!!!

Wusu, Buchanon and Riddle all did a bang up job. It did piss me off though the way the hater-ratzis did neglect to mention Philly gave up more run yards. I think we will have some growing pains this year put we will have more sunny days this season and honestly don't see us posting anything less than 9 wins. Optimistic, maybe, but screw it, I'm a RAIDER FAN BABY. We make our own History, and OUR own Rules. Almost 99.999999% of every media outlet picked us to remain in the cellar of the AFC West this season, keep underestimating us, take us lightly and when you walk out of the stadium rememeber the team that tapped that arse baby. The SILVER & BLACK will leave more teams black and blue this year.

Props to Fab. Washington also, he should jump routes like that all year long.
