Lack of Big Plays; Penalties Continue to Haunt Raiders

 
While the Raiders defense was at fault for giving up a lot of yards on the ground Sunday in a 13-9 loss to the Titans, head coach Lane Kiffin was more upset with the way his offense play at LP Field.  “You can’t play offense like that and win,” Lane Kiffin said. “That’s no secret.”  […]

Losing Ways Must Stop Before It’s Too Late

It is apparent that with each loss the Raiders are becoming the same old Raiders, and that is something that first-year head coach Lane Kiffin clearly wants to change.  The team started out the season 2-2, but since have dropped two straight, and have not looked very good in doing so.  Kiffin wants to stop […]

Raiders Can’t Stop L.T.; Fall to Chargers 28-14

Look up Raider killer in the dictionary and you’ll find a photo of Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson.

Jordan Out for Sunday; Pressure on the Passing Game

Running back LaMont Jordan is a no-go for tomorrow’s game at San Diego against the 2-3 Chargers.  Reports state that the back issue that faces Jordan is not better, and Lane Kiffin said on Friday that the back is “worse than ever” so he will be deactivated for the contest.  That puts the running back […]

Key Players Missing Practice; Could Sit Sunday

The Raiders are already heavy underdogs going to San Diego this weekend, and now a few of their better defensive players may be out for this AFC West showdown.  D-lineman Derrick Burgess continues to miss practices with his lingering calf injury, and Gerard Warren is also hurting, as he hurt his thigh last week during […]
