Off the subject of Corvettes, but the Raiders should be 3-0 if it wasn't for the defense choking the second half. The Raiders still have a ways to go, can't trust that defense, but surprised they beat the Jets thought they lose that game. Love how the offense is playing right now and Darren McFadden is incredible. Now a big test against New England see what happen there. New England **** off about losing in Buffalo so there going to come at us with guns blazing. We could win but I don't see it, hope I am wrong. It's hard to trust the Raiders with all this losing we had over the last 8 years. Last year we did go 8-8 but I want playoffs. I like Hue so far, think he will be a good coach. I like how he aggressive. If he does end up doing well, Al will get rid him some how, like Gruden. Oh well only time will tell. GO RAIDERS!!!

Played great last weekend and should be a shoot out with the Pats this weekend.

GO RAIDERS

Paul 68

Yeah hope we kick the Pats a$$, going to be tough game.

You know who didn't play last week? DB Johnson. He is terrible and has been for years. Pretty sure he is the most penalized DB in football. The Bills threw at him all game.

30+ picks spent in the defensive backfield in the past 5-6 years, and only 1 was worth a damn, and he left us.

Yep, don't understand Al Davis who does. Chris Johnson should have been let go, but I guess with the lockout there was no one out there. Let hope we can beef up the defense next year, because this year don't look to good so far.

Paul 68

We got our butt kicked, like I figure. Well at least they didn't give up, and gain alot of yards but didn't score and the 2 turnovers. Another hard game next week at Texans.

Stupid plays and penalties. Even with some bad calls from the officials(per usuall) they still could have won. Dumb penalties and the two interceptions were terrible. Do we have any llinebackers on the Raiders, because they sure seem to dissapear once the game starts.

Shinobi'sZ

Yes...but Jason Campbell could have done without the INT...it basically put them out of the game along with the D.

The Bill's game was sacrificed by the D for sure, but when playing the Pats....offense has got to score every drive...because Tom Brady is going to score.

Paul 68

Yeah I hate the Pats but Brady is bad ***. I am surprised the Raiders didn't score more. Oh well live and learn and move onto the next game.

Shinobi'sZ

Missing Namdi this year for sure...huge play maker that Al Davis should not have even let go...same goes for C. Woodson.

Paul 68

That's Al Davis for you. Raiders won't win a Super Bowl till he no longer in control. But Hue the best coach I think since Gruden. Since they move back to Oakland.

vince48

The AFL West might have been intimidated by Namdi, but if you have watch any of the Eagle games, Namdi has not only been thrown on, but beat several times. I'm not talking nickle and garbage stuff but deep routes. This might be a Zito contract for the Eagle's.
Hue, needs to build a bully with his offensive line! With McFadden and Bush will blow up any defense in the same backfield, but the line has got to be physical not cute. Stay with that game plan 1st and 2nd down. That will open more play action and pass opportunities for Campbell and his young receivers.
Defense, needs a better defense coordinator and better mike and willie linebacker positions! The guys they have currently looks like Tarzan but hits like Jane!

Paul 68

Yeah hate Chuck Bresnahan don't know why they brought him back, I think because no one else wanted to coach defense here. No matter who we get always same thing can't stop the run. Al Davis like to run man to man and you need to run zone in this day and age. We don't have the players to run man to man every down. I pretty much guarantee we will rank near to dead last in Defense by the end of the year. Defensive coaches change but the results are the same.

fej

Yep, lack the personnel to play the style Davis pushes on the coordinators.

I think Nnamdi can really play, but he was not Revis level, but appeared to be because Chris Johnson or "Random 3rd Round Pick" can't play a lick. Why throw at the guy that might make a play when you can throw at the guy who you know won't or can't? That all comes out in the film work leading up to the game by the opposing offense each week.

Cambell needs to play better and make better decisions. Or he needs to go. I think Hugh has a lot of stuff heading the right direction, but needs some people to step up, and some people to step out .. or die

Take a look around at the franchises that win consistently, and who their QB's are. Pats and Brady, GB and Rodgers, Saints and Brees ... you need a star at QB in today's game, without one you are fighting an uphill battle that you aren't going to win even if you get to the playoffs. Teams like the Ravens about a decade ago don't happen anymore with mid bottom level QB winning Super Bowls ...

Trade up to get Luck, and pay him

C'mon man!!! We're talking about the Raiders.

I don't think the Raiders will draft another quarterback in the first round after what happen with JaMarcus Russel. We won't be a great football team again until Al Davis is not control of the team no more.

GotCorvette?

We'll find out now. Al Davis is dead.

Paul 68

Yeah just heard from my cousin. Sad day for Raider Nation, see what will happen with the team now?

RIP Al, you had a great run.

Paul 68

Yep did alot for the Raiders and the NFL.
