Despite the ill fated season, it’s relieving to still see some pride being shown for the black and silver. There’s a video at Kush TV showing more enthusiasm than ever. Head on over to kushtv.com to see more. RRAAAIIIDDDEERRRSSS!

It’s in the rush section.

I am just happy, as part of Raider Nation, that the Raiders will not go winless this season, even if they don’t win anymore.  They played well this game, for the 22-9 win (in spite of the fumbles and interceptions that they had to bounce back from).  Of course, winning a LOT more would be great, if they can pull together like they did this week.  With Pittsburgh coming up Halloween weekend, the Steelers can either hurt a team or play bad, in spite of their record at the time.  We can hope that the Raiders can at least scratch out a few more wins (which will be hard with who they play in the remainder of their schedule).  Sunday was a great win! Let’s bask in it for as much as we can! (or for a week…until the next game, at least, lol).

first and foremost Art Shell is only a “shell” of his former self.  If he were the genuine Art Shell he and Jerry Porter would be having no problems.  Trade Randy Moss for Terrell Owens. Randy Moss is lazy and selfish! Trade Lamont Jordan for Tony Romo.  Acquire Brandon Jacobs of the NY GIants. He is built like a Tight End but runs like a horse… hard strong and fast!… Lamont Jordan is not fast enough to run to the outside, yet toss sweep is the favorite running play in the Raider playbook.  Justin Fargas (aside from the injury) should be the starting rb. His major concern was holding on to the ball.  (But hey, so was Tiki Barber’s a couple seasons ago and look at him now).  I swear this would be his breakout season.  He can get to the outsides as well as running between the tackles.  Every defense in the league knows they dont have to respect our running game, which makes the passing game nil as well.  Zack Crockett is not a fullback! ! ! His only carry of the season is for 10 yards.  Every player in the league knows Zack Crockett is good for 3-4 or more yards per carry (hence the short yardage situations) but they can do nothing to stop him! Walter is decent, Tui is more agressive, and led to a td in his second drive of the season (first led to a tipped pass resulting in an interception).  Our defense is not half bad, they’re just tired.  Spending waaaaayyyy too much time on the field (averaging almost 2 1/3 quarters of every game accordinig to NFL.COM stats)! ALL of the players have lost faith in the effectiveness of the coaching staff is is visually apparent watching them on the field! between Lazy Moss and Cry-baby Porter, and trading Doug Gabriel (just another stupid decision by the higher ups) the Raiders should have THE TOP receiving corp n the league.  At worst one of the top 5 receiving corps.  We went out of our way to acquire Aaron Brooks from the Saints.  He didnt do ish there didnt really show much promise there! And Acquired Lamont Jordan from the Jets… (THE JETS! ! !) where he was a back-up!  No offense to Huff he doin his thang, but we passed on Matt Leinart, AND Jay Cutler to get him!… Matt Leinart is now starting, and if Jay Cutler is now breathing down the neck of Jake the Snake in Denver! I could go on, but it hurts, I need to go take a nap now.  Of course I will be out there cheering and whooping and hollering and losing my voice for the Raiders, knowing full well I care more than alot of the players on the field…

Alright, here’s the deal. As an early 80s kid I have grown up seeing the Raiders move a lot, trade a lot, and in true Al Davis style “snub” many promising careers (I.E. Marcus Allen) and I have STILL remained a fan and always will. Raiders fans know that we like our team and will remain true fans, whether or not they make bad decisions up top. This season is ridiculous!!! To start off at 0-4 and be a quarter of the way through the season, while not even knowing who the starting QB is (that’s constantly changing), is insulting to us fans. We stand by our team no matter what, but winning results will not make us the laughing stock of the league anymore. Everytime I tell people that I am an AVID AND DIEHARD Raiders fan, it is usually accompanied by laughing and a stern “Why?!?!” Art shell should not have considered coming out of retirement for this, if this is how it is going to be. I mean, they even won more games last season than they most likely will this year, judging by the looks of things. Don’t get me wrong, I will remain a Raiders fan forever…I am just as fed-up as a lot of Raiders fans at the way things are going so far. It sucks that most of the coaches since Gruden don’t have a winning team and leave after a few long and hard seasons! I guess Raiders fans like me will have to realize that this is one of their down periods of the franchise and won’t get better until the whole Raiders organization can get THEIR act together. Let’s look for some positives (which is NOT finishing the season with a winless record) and look forward to next year, assuming that is better. At least the defense looks promising, but even they will show fatigue after being on the field majority of the game. Get in gear guys! That’s all we can hope at this point.

I would think great Raiders like ted kendricks,lyle alzado,and the likes of hardnose guy’s like that would love to walk into to the locker room and not give the 2006 Raider’s a pregame psych-up,but a ass kicking for how they are embarresing themselves,but their long time fans.Can it be that of all the talent that comes out of our colleges these day’s this is the best “Big Al” can comeup with?Or,Has he(Al) totally lost his grip with modern day football.It’s been rumored for years Davis has had to much to do with coaching from his private box,but I think it’s got a lot to do with going after used up players like Randy Moss and such that keeps the Raiders a step and a half behind the rest othe NFL.I’ll go on dreaming of the day when the Raiders will not only be competitive,but winners again.

  You would think that throughout the years of semi-greatness and near Super Bowl glory folling the Madden years that Al Davis would have realized what a complete and total idiot he has become.  My first firm evidence came with the trade of Marcus Allen, I don’t care how old he was or was his currrent stats were, Allen was one of the best backs ever to play, probably the best third down back. Since then it has been a slew of steady, irresponsible idiocies committed by the Raiders proud but but ignorant owner. The steady stream of Heismen winner that don’t pan out, the poor treatment of Tim Brown, letting Grudden go(has a team ever before been between in the Super Bowl by thier previous years coach?)aquiring players based on past glory, not future potential.  If Davis is really a Raiders fan at heart, he will retire,sell the team(maybe Madden is looking to buy?) and let the Silver And Black get back to thier Commitment to Excellence and start winning again.

 

I thought that Art Shell coming back was going to be a great start for the Raiders this season.  The team needs to suck it up and listen to him (a.k.a. Jerry Porter) and come back from an 0-2 record deficit to turn around the season.  Like any Raider fan, majority of us will stand by out team even when they are losing again…And again…AND again, referring to the past few seasons.  But the thing is that there have been stretches where the Raiders have had losing seasons in their history, so we just need to stand by them!  If the offensive line can finally start blocking, then whoever they end up using as the QB starter (Andrew Walter, etc.) should do fine, seeing as Aaron Brooks ended up not doing as anticipated and is out for a while.  Well, they only have 2 losses, so they can bounce back.  Raider Nation and all of us fans need to support our team, so they can have a bright future ahead…to score MANY touchdowns in the upcoming games, seeing as they haven’t scored a lot of points yet this season!

Its quite sad you all must be raider fans,I hoped going on this blog I would hope to see some finepoints on oakland, sure we all know that they aint doing so well,well honestly i dont want to hear it, i think we need to talk about key problems and desipher tactics that would work for oakland,we ultimately have a good team,there just unorginized and uncooprative,all i can tell all the fans like me is dont give up yet,you might be suprized
