The Raiders 2009 Thread
Hell if I was the Raiders I'd ignore all the crap and run Russell all season. Worse comes to worse you earn a top 5 draft pick that you can trade down and still get a good QB or take a guy you feel like you can just plug in.
And you'll have a fall guy in Russell.
The Raiders issues have as much to do with not being able to stop the run and not being able to CATCH the ball as they do with Russell missing targets.
Just stick with him. We'll find out if McFadden was the right choice. Find out if our young guys are the guys to build on...etc.

Holy crap what a terrible game.
But hell Derek Anderson was no better. KILLED me this week for fantasy. I had my QB out on a bye and had to scoop up either Anderson or Sanchez.... I made the wrong choice.

You know the highest rate of violence is on Superbowl Sunday? In accordance, violence increases on Sundays... maybe because people are drunk and their teams lose. No wonder why Oakland has a nasty crime rate... lol. Their teams always lose!

Sounds like a big win. Defense on both teams kept the score low, and in the end we had a fullback with solid hands make some great catches.
Jamarcus somehow, got it done in the end when he needed to. I still don't like him.

Seriously, I have respect for you guys... No matter how badly they play, or how much they get made fun of, you guys always stand behind your loyalty to the greater good of the team.
I haven't followed football in about 10 years (I got into other sports) so I don't really know too much about what is going on, but I remember the Raiders always been plagued with horrible coaches up until Chucky took over, but that's the last I had heard about them really...
What's the problem now? Still bad coaching? Bad players? Both? Can someone get me back into the loop?
