I think money is indeed an issue for MD and the team, which is clearly implied by our wealth of room under the cap. What has improved to a very manageable number is the dead money, not paying much for players no longer on team. How much we can afford to pay is the issue, so bang for the buck is...
If the league didn't hate Al and now his son so rabidly they would have ponied up some cabbage and help Oakland redevelop the football venue, it's so patently obvious we are continuing to be punished for a feud that is older than my children. This shit has been going on far too long.

It's true, fan base is a tough sell, IMO, in Texas. What is funny about that is that the Raider fan base is factually in northern Los Angeles metro, yet owners decide to give 2 other franchise first refusal. It does appear MD is as much if not more of an outcast than his enigmatic father...
It sure looked to me like BOTH players had their hands in each others face, just saying you can call that on almost every down, it was a chicken shit call that's all.
These matchups are the ones I found most interesting, and going 15-1 and done will be hard to stomach, I think this... Carolina vs. 'Hawks will likely be the best game of the week.
After the beating Steelers took last week, it will be very tough for them, they have to be my sentimental favorite...
Absolutely bush league officiating last night, from the ridiculous hands to the face call, that really needs to get scrutinized, you can call that on almost every play both ways, and particularly on that stupid call.
no PI calls that looked like obvious calls both ways, one bad call offsetting...
What say you all, am I right or am I right?
15-1 on the season, MVP Cam, against the current NFC champ, I predict the changing of the guard today in Charlotte, i.e. "It's our turn now bitches".
No doubt!
Championships and longevity in this league are built around the big men, a quick look at our depth chart and FA list says DT and LT would be ideal places to either replace or add depth, and we gave up way too many yds in the air, not to mention one of the greatest ball hawks of all...
I know I been out for a while, had to get a new 'puter so I could use this one for fucking off, too much at stake in my new gig with this old jalopy.
All better now, got a Lenovo all-in-one for mission critical work, and still have the ol Dell laptop for fun!
Man I wanted to be on for some of...
We all know it doesn't matter how well the Raiders have been in the past, when it comes to divisional anything can happen. Denver has been a mile high challenge for us of late, but change is going to come and PM has only so games left in him, one good shot and it's over, get at him boys.
I...
Coooooop!
Definitely lives up to the pre-season billing and then some, getting raves from just about everyone who watches him play, has a great first step and has been able to shake any single cover, getting yac almost every catch. This young man is making an early move on ROY.
Murray has days...
It was about time the Raiders got off the schneid on the road, eastern TZ, a long time coming, but most of all I hope this becomes a defining game for the team.
This was a game the Raiders should win on paper, but so often in the recent past has become a classic example of what was wrong with...
I think the Raiders are among the best, the Silver and Black, in part because they have changed very little since the late '60s, why would you fuck w perfection?
Old school is generally best, I like the '80s 9er jersey even if they are a hated cross-bay rival.
Chicago gets in my top rated...
I think it will take a few games with his hand in the ground to get accustomed to his new position, but he has done everything the team has asked him, and physically he is very gifted, I think it's going to get better as they get more PT as a unit.
It was great to see Carr air the ball out, he caught Cooper and Crabs on the fly a couple times that got the team fired up, but the defense did look pretty shaky.
I don't know if Hayden is going to make it or not, I hope to see some improvement as this season goes on.
I was pretty shocked that the Ravens went down 2-0, they really missed Suggs I guess. But for the Raiders to walk away w a 1-1 they had to play a pretty good game, the offense really looked good in the 2nd half, in fact the best 2nd half of 'ball I've seen in Silver and Black in quite some time...
BEST second half of 'ball I've seen out of the S n B in quite a while!
WAY TO FINISH A GAME RAIDERS!
An actual pleasure to watch that game, it had it all.
