Raiders: Just Your Average Team

Before we go from the euphoria of the overtime win at home to Kansas City two weeks ago to the dismay of Sunday’s blowout loss at Pittsburgh, keep in mind that this Raider team is an average team. Meaning, you win some, you lose some. In the AFC West, that may be enough to win [...]

One Hand in my Pocket

You know the feeling you get when you reach into your pocket of your jeans, and you pull out a 20-dollar bill you had totally forgotten about? It’s a mix of surprise, happiness, and bewilderment. I mean, WOW! GREAT! HUH? I can’t believe I found a 20-spot. This is fantastic! I can’t believe I lost [...]

Coach Tom Cable Says Defensive Personnel Is Safe

Tom Cable says that the defense in terms of who is out there is fine, it all comes down to “desire” and who wants it more. They had another bad week in allowing 31 points to the Texans Sunday.

Overconfidence? Really?

Over confident. That’s what some of the players in the Raiders locker room were using as an excuse for their disturbing season opening loss against the Titans. No, really. That’s as if Lithuania lost to Team USA this past weekend because they were looking past Kevin Durant and worried how they would stop Turkey’s Ersan [...]

Bush with a shot to play in week one says Cable

Coach Tom Cable confirmed that running back Michael Bush (thumb) has a “real chance” to play week one, according to Vittorio Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle. Bush is practicing with limited restrictions, and the only other option would be Darren McFadden, so obviously the team is hopeful he can go Sunday. Unfortunately, the injury [...]
