What the hell happened to Streater, he was catching everything in pre-season and now apparently he can't catch shit. Well, except for a touchdown and a 2 pointer, but you get my drift.

Even Norv is smart enough to figure out that if you give the ball to the same guy on every play you only have to defend one guy.  McFadden might be great but he can't win it all on his own Dennis  ::)

And what is with the offensive line, that thing collapses faster than a 2 dollar hooker who's been punched in the stomach by a fat guy with sores on his face :(

Finally, if you're a backup long snapper who can't long snap then they should really call you something else.

It's going to be a long year  :(
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the Oakland Raiders, one nation under a crazy man, with commitment and excellence for all!

How many positives can you come up with about the Raiders/Chargers game?

Here are a few positives on the Raiders/Chargers game....how many more can you come up with?
Mark Purdy, Mercury News

• Only three of their five punt attempts were botched horribly because of comically bad snaps. The others went off like clockwork. That's a 40 percent success rate!

• New head coach Dennis Allen looked fairly spiffy out there on the sideline in his white sun visor, even after the sun went down.

And that's about it. Anyone out there have something else good to mention?

Honestly, this will be a 5-11 season and they won't get to 5 wins if they don't beat the fins this week.  I know nationers will try again to label me a hater or bronco fan or some other bullsh!t.  I don't believe in being delusional.  We have a offensive line that is set up for power running and we are running a zone blocking scheme.  Our line is not intellectual.  They are built to see the guy across the line and knock him on his ass.  Our receiving corps are a mess.  Injuries are a problem, Jacoby Ford is a play-maker but is over-hyped and not a starting wide out.  He is a slot receiver.  Our superstar (and he is a superstar) running back get 32 yard in 15 carries?  The offense is trying to put a square peg in a round hole. 

Fortunate that the fraudgers couldn't get into the end-zone much.   Raiders look 3 or 4 years away from making the playoffs >:(

Honestly i wasnt too mad about this game. Yeah it seems without an "acutal" long snapper our special teams is in huge trouble. But i am quite pleased with our D. They scored one touchdown and two field goals. The other three fields goals were because of our specials teams gave them the ball on our own 40 or less. Now most other teams and our team of the past would have given them touchdowns. They stood strong ALL game long for once. Once we get even just D Moore back we will have an actual deep threat and spread the field.  Our o-line MUST  get better quick cuz Palmer had very little time to do anything at all. Miami here we come. I think we could take this game. Not giving up yet. Only one game so far.

This is bullshit. Apparently Jon Condom is the most valuable player on the team. Without him, we can't win.

The run d looks good. The new secondary doesn't impress me at all. And our receivers can't catch a cold. The new blocking scheme somehow expects DMC to run with 4 defenders in his face.

If we can't snap on punts then how about scoring so we don't have to punt? This blows.

Well I'm back posting on the forum and my first take with like 12 min left in the 4th quarter is our defense is playing way to fucking good for us to be losing this god damn game. Our special teams continues to be a problem. And Oo yeah throw the ball fucking deep this short shit is hore shit. Let's go pull this comeback win now.
