Oakland Raiders Thread - 2008-09

[jdizzle]

Broncos are my SB tip for the AFC.

Cutler is unreal, good running attack and good defence. Brandon Marshall didn't even play adn he is a top 5 WR.

Why were the Raiders so bad?

Why were the Raiders so bad?

still lacking in the O line for mine.

dropped catches didnt help.

 

[legend]

The Broncos also have a good rookie RB named Ryan Torain who is due back in about six weeks.

It's the Broncos defence that concerns me. How they stop LT will go a long way to deciding who wins this week.

Ne Merriman for the Chargers is good for us though. Lights out for Lights Out!

woop woop! Michael Bush & Darren McFadden, what a combo! bring on the bills

 

[Eddie.]

A rare win.

But I refuse to get excited, The Chiefs are a woeful football side.

careful what you wish for:lol:

I really think we'll smash the Raiders, i just see us doing the samething like we did to Seattle, blitzing and aggressive offensive plays.

Also, whilst Marshawn Lynch is a gun Fred Jackson ( our other runing back ) is playing better, and has develop quite an amazing pass recieving game.

If we can hold McFadden ( which i'm confident with the likes of Stroud etc plus containing the Jags pair and limiting seattles rushing game to 11 yards in the first half) they me be lucky to score points against us.

Indeed, probably worse then Miami.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

yeah the chiefs are bad.

Mcfadden looked good. Russell is scraping through.

the bills are looking solid. they should win

 

[Eelementary]

The Bills will touch us up. I mean yeah - we beat the Chiefs. But they played so poorly they hardly tested any aspect of our game. :crazy:

 

[kkingston]

russell needs to improve rapidly if oakland are to be playoff material

 

[Big Tim]

Chiefs are terrible.... they are not even playing Granmama on every possible down.....

The Bills holding the Jags rushing game is not a "huge" feat.... it is definately a good one, but they are without 4 of their starting OL's. In saying that, the addition of Marcus Stroud will scare alot of teams.

even winning material, i am yet to rate this football side.

We have an O-line that crumbles under the basest of pressure; a young, inexperienced QB who sometimes shows no instincts at all (seriously, throw the ball away instead of getting sacked ffs); and a coach who has nfi.

Our only redeeming qualities are an exciting young WR who is pretty good at returning kicks and punts in Jonnie Lee Higgins; D-Mac who I think will only get better; and a potentially Pro Bowl-calibre secondary.

Johnnie Lee Higgins is so sh*t, he is the manu vatuvei of the NFL, he can be awesome, but will make major f**k ups happen regularly.

McFadden/Fargas/Bush running combo is soooo good. we should just run every down lol. let fargas or bush be the workhorse backs and then get mcfadden in there when u need a big gain.

nnamdi, burgess, morrison and howard are awesome! deangelo hall is the biggest waste of money ever! he is so sh*t, he got burned all game by royal and then got burned by bowe against kc as well. hes meant to be a top 5 corner but hes just crap.

Zach Miller is a quality TE, probably our top recieving option right now, considering out best WR f**king sucks. does Curry not know how to catch?

Jamarcus will come good

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

Miller goes good on Madden. always open. big target as well.

 

[Monk]

david carr went well on madden ffs.

 

[Eddie.]

a coach who has nfi.

.

Harsh.

The coach Lane Kiffin deserves a chance. He came in to an organisation that had an awful roster, coming off a 2-14 season and years of losing. The Raiders were far more competative last season under him. We went 4-12 however we showed a bit more. He is smart enough to realise we are a running team and has won us some games on the ground alone.

The last young coach the Raiders had was Jon Gruden. Kiffin deserves a decent chance. If we can win 6-8 this season i think we should be given a third season.

 

[jdizzle]

They need to somehow find a way to fire Al Davis.

 

[Monk]

and try and find a third manning brother.

As a kick/punt returner, Higgins is our best weapon.

As a receiver...:?
