....in Oakland

They've got about 10 minutes left to pull it out of their rear.

I guess the Raiders are out of the playoff picture now, huh?

What do you expect? They came out flat and played down to the competition yet again. Its typical Norv Turner and Raider football. Was I surprised to see the defense at eachothers throats on the sidelines after that Williams TD? Hell no. Norv is losing that team, you think Moss is thrilled to be a nonfactor? You think Jordan is happy to be busting his ass while his OL continues to shoot themselves in the foot with dumb penalties? Grandpa Al wont tolerate another losing season ,and Norv best get his office packed.

Jim Fassel WILL be our next head coach. I'm calling my shot now.

I wouldn't mind him coming to Detroit...not sure of who are the top coaching names that will be available after the season.

I'll feel sorry for you in advance then.

Like Cheffan should talk. Another year of the Crying Game or starting over with Herm "What day is it?" Edwards.

You kind of did ask for it. How about worrying about your own coaching woes before knocking Raiduhfan speculation of actually improving their situation?

So I'm starting Kerry Collins and Ronnnie Brown in my Fantasy Footabll and this three play sequence evolves:

2nd-5, OAK25 3:43 L. Schulters intercepted K. Collins for 16 yards
Miami - 3:25
1st-10, OAK21 3:25 R. Brown rushed up the middle for 5 yard gain. R. Brown fumbled. K. Morrison recovered fumble
Oakland - 3:18
1st-10, OAK16 3:18 K. Collins incomplete pass to the right
2nd-10, OAK16 3:18 MIA committed 5 yard penalty
1st-10, OAK21 3:13 K. Collins sacked by V. Holliday. K. Collins fumbled. J. Taylor recovered fumble

I'm still ahead going into Monday, but it s far closer than it needed to be.

Which they will foolishly pass up and draft some kid who runs a 4.1 but has catching,blocking,defending,or character issues.

Absolutely pathetic peformance by Norv's bunch today.

The team is on pace to set the single season penalty record, and that 'bout says it all.
Undisciplined and unprepared.
You're right, JT, the sideline meltdown is symptomatic of a team who's effectively leaderless.

Always a good idea to set your statue QB up to pass the ball out of his own endzone and then NOT block Jason Taylor.
Hey man, the O-line play is a freaking disaster, and this team will continue to be among the bottom-feeders until that is fixed.

Norv is a joke, and it's Tui time.

It warmed the cockles of my heart to flip over to 60 Minutes just in time to see the 'duhs being booed off the field.

Who the hell loses to Miami, anyway...

I was at the game. Eleven rows behind the Raider bench. And even in my less than sober state, it was obvious that the Raiders were disinterested from the start. Mix in the questionable play calling by Norvell, R Ryan's refusal to blitz on key plays, B Badger throwing his look-out blocks, 30 yards punts, Collins inability to hit wide open receivers and it was a trainwreck.

Aside from that, the tailgating was epic and the Raider cheerleaders are a nice distraction from the horror show on the field.
