Massive shame. I can't see this team having any sustained success whilever Al Davis is in charge. The guy can't wait for gradual success he wants success now. Maybe we're looking at another 1st round draft pick.

Al Davis. what a joke.

bad luck for kiffin. i thought the team was improving. oh well.

The team looks better and better each week, so they fire him, f**king wanker Davis is.

I watched the Raiders game on Game Pass HD.

yeah it was a tough game. the Raiders are really good when they dont have the ball!

Jamarcus panicked a bit with the lead i think. he seemed to get worse as the game went on. shame for oakland..they were the better side for most of the game.

LT had 2 good runs. the second one was good to see. the guy coming across in cover (huff?) had him easily i thought on the angle. LT was too good. promising signs there.

interesting that the 2 wins we have had rivers hasnt been as good as he was when we lost. The Defense has picked up though. got some turn overs.

still let in over 250 passing yards. things arent back on track just yet in san diego.

You’re probably right about J.Russell, that was the first time I'd seen him play. He can certainly throw the deep ball.
Losing Merriman will take a bit to adjust to, so the defence will get better.

I'm no Kiffin fan, but this is a disgrace. And here's the kicker for you:

"The Raiders promoted offensive linesmen coach Tom Cable to interim head coach."

Yes, because Oakland's shining light this year so far has been our incredible O-line...:roll:

Al Davis is useless.

 

[pennywisealfie]

to be fair to cable, he has been an incredible o-line coach. on paper, we have the worst o-line in football. but cable has installed a zone blocking scheme and its worked for us. the proof is in our running game, we are running all over teams and a lot of thanks goes to the offensive line team. as an o-line coach, i love cable.

but i dont know about being a head coach....

But he doesn't seem able to coach the o-line to pass block...
