Chargers Gameday Thread
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that today's game is the most meaningful game the Raiders have played in more than seven years. For once, finally, we're still in contention for the divisional title in December.
We'll learn a lot about the Raiders today. This is a do-or-die game for the 2010 season. If we win, our chances to contend remain alive. If we lose, it's hard to see us gaining two or more games on the Chargers and Chiefs over the ensuing four weeks.
At the beginning of the season, many of us said that we were in "prove it" mode. Today is the day to prove it. GO RAIDERS!

Damn RT, that's all you got? Sounds like you are deflated. I guess with Waste being your most dominant poster, your site takes a collective dive in the credibility department, that would deflate anyone. I feel bad for you RT, maybe one day you can start again, maybe under a new name?

"RT"...Sad but True!!!...
Well the table is being set...The "MuleHead"s are making a game of it in the "SquawValley"....If they can pull threw and we win we are only one game behind with them on our schedule at the end...
PantyRaider...Lot's On The Lines Today!!!!/_
I don't know, Jones. It wasn't meant to be a brilliant take, just resetting the thread and comments to focus on today's game. Been doing it all year before each game.
As for being deflated, yes, I've been deflated by the Raiders fading and regressing to old form over the past few weeks. For a while, it was fun to write about something different for once (ie: the Raiders actually playing competitive football).
It's going to stink if they don't right the ship today. A whole offseason looms, and I'd rather not sit through another winter of tired excuses and unfounded assurances.
As of this writing, PR, the Brocos have a chance, indeed. If they pull it off, and if we win today, we're one back in the division with four to go. That would be cool.
The Browns beat Miami today. Just another reason I can't believe we lost to the Fins at home at such a crucial juncture in the season. Time to right the pirate ship.

Well "RT" the hopes dwindle...
"KC" won....The Mulehaed"s let us down....
Can't say I'm depressed with watching them take the dive but damn!!!...Would have been nice if they at least helped up just a little...
Now it's do or die...Win we be 2 game behind with 4 to go...
Lose we be done 3 games out...
PantyRaider...Hope Those Lines Can Show Up Today!!!!/_
WoW!!!...We got's it figured out...
Don't let "JustCrap" throw just let him fake the hand-off and go for the "TD"....
Nice 4th-n-1 call...Nice....
Be we got's HOPE!!!
"Int"..."ST" play...Could we have a chance....
#12....Jacoby Ford get another "TD"...
14-0 Raiders....
Is "JustCrap" bringing his "A" game or what...
Oh! ya!....Bush gets this one...
21-3 Raiders...
"My dream scenario for a HUGE upset victory by the Raiders:
Start fast & furious with a combination of special teams plays, SD turnovers, and creative big offensive plays.
Get up by a 2 score lead early and establish a punishing running attack with both Bush & McFadden & Reece.
Continue to put the foot to the metal on D by employing some exotic blitz schemes that provides hits, hurries, sacks on Rivers and causes additional turnovers."
check, check, check, check, check
*ST punt fumble recovery
*2 SD turnovers
*bootleg call+ pick play to Ford
*punishing rushing attack with 2 score lead
*excellent pass rush including blitz package of safeties
Great 1st half ... need to continue to dominate the trenches, run the ball, take our shots, and keep Rivers running for his life.
GO RAIDERS!

Seeing us sweep the Dolts, excellent.
Watching Phillip Rivers run for his life all game, even better.
Watching a full team effort, McFadden and Bush both go over 90 yards rushing while enjoying a new batch of amber ale and seeing it all happen on a brand new LED, 240hz HDTV - Priceless.
H
By the way, McClain's hit on Sproles was legal, he led with his shoulder.
H
Change "prove it" to PROVED IT!
Well the jinx worked. Otherwise, this team is a total enigma.
What can you really say? This is not the same team that lost to the Steelers and Dolphins. That team could only muster 18 yards rushing, combined. Today’s team is the one that dominated the Broncos and Hawks.
Campbell was so good with play-action today, he faked out the TV coverage... twice!
Mid-December and in the hunt. I could get used to this.
The last 2 weeks really left a bad taste in all of our mouths...
But kicking the Dolts where it hurts is extra special....
Go Raiders!!!!!!!!!
Both lines dominated... and our QB looked like an actual NFL QB! Maybe Ski out of the picture boosted Campbells confidence? He made mature decisions, looked off his primary.. made some nice audibles, showed some nice touch at times... this could still work! We have got to get some help with KC... no way we get a wild-card in my opinion.
NYRaider,
That one fake was so good the DL was celebrating stopping Bush for no gain.
I haven't seen fakes that good in years.
Having enjoyed this, that missed field goal in Arizona is still hauniting us.
Also, what could we have done with a solid offensive line the last two weeks. Pitt and the Fish overloaded to our left on first down.
But, the Dolts did some of that today, and Carlisle pulled to his left to give them some help.
Overll a good adjustment from the last two weeks. Next weeks game is now a must win so we can get back to within a game of the lead. I think the Dolts will take the Chefs.
H
Got to give the game ball to the O-LINE, WOW, they dominated. Front 4 was causing havoc as well, great TEAM effort. The coaches out coached Norv and comp. Reversing the team from what was happening once again. That's encouraging.
The Raiders, just plain and simple, kicked the shit out of S.D... S.D. will probably not be the same team the rest of the year because of the whooping they took. Physically dominating performance, McFadden made 1 mistake but more than made up for it. He was a MAN again today, some of the licks he laid out there today was MONSTER. Saw Schilens out there, hopefully he can be over the bug. Great win for the Raiders.
JONES
What an awesome and satisfying win. One of the best in years, in my opinion. Totally unexpected after the last two weeks.
This team is perplexing. How do they get handled v Pitts and Miami and come in and punish and dominate SD on both sides of the ball? A SD team that was hot, at home, wearing their gay baby blues, and tops against the run.
I especially love that all the so-called "experts" called this so wrong.
BTW, that hit by McClain was legit. On replays, you can see McClain come in with his shoulder and actually take contact from Sproles' helmet crown to the side of his.
Great win!
The best performance that I've seen from our OLine and DLine in a LONG ass time. Win the battles in the trenches and your team has an above average chance to come out on top.
When the Raiders are able to run the ball effectively, everything falls into place; time of possession, fresh D, play action pass, and exerting our will.
The JAX game next week is HUGE.
Upon further review, I have been one of the harshest critics of Langston Walker. However, the 15 yard penalty he drew on the third down incomplete that took us out of field goal range, I applaud the guy.
In fact, the Dolts’ player that was standing over Campbell could have been flagged for taunting. He was standing astride the prone Campbell in a major attempt to intimidate him. I’ve seen stuff like that called before, not often, but it is called on occasion.
What I will say is the Dolts player was lucky it wasn’t Steve Wisniewski that shoved him. He might have joined Sproles on the sidelines and be challenged to a one on one in the parking lot after the game.
I especially enjoyed the seven man jail break blitz on fourth down with less than two minutes left. It was a thing of beauty.
H
H - The Walker penalty took us out of FG range, but I can't disagree. Sometimes you need to let others know you're not going to take their s**t... like Seymour did. The Raiders are starting to act like... well, the Raiders.
The Giants have taken out +/- five QBs this year. There was a time when that was the Raiders MO.
The Chargers stopped running the ball early, and that played right into the Raiders hands.
The lopsided nature of the game was almost annoying in that, where was this team the previous two weeks?
Chargers were the #1 ranked D. You'd think after 11 games, that stat would actually mean something.
Hopefully, the Raiders can maintain their "pre-bye" form and make a run for the playoffs.
It's really hard to understand this team. Both players and coaches. I fully expected that the Raiders would get their asses handed to them after the last two weeks. Stunningly, they served up their best effort of the entire season. They simply shredded the prognosticators pick for the AFC SB rep.
I think what we are seeing is a transformation in progress - on two levels. While the players are learning how to be an NFL factor, Cable and staff are learning how to coach a potential champion.
I attributed the Pit loss to the players, coming out flat. I attributed the Mia loss to the coaches, exhibiting zero imagination.
Today, both players and coaches were brilliant and fully on the same page. This was the BEST coaching effort of Cable's career. This will go a long way towards Cable getting full faith and credit from the players.
At this point, I most fear our home game against the Colts. But if we can somehow manage to win the rest while SD beats KC next weekend, the division is ours.
>>>

The Jax East coast trip scares me... if we find a way to win on the East coast, I think we have a chance.
I don't see KC losing 3-4 against SD, StL, Tenn, and Oak left... especially with Tenn mailing in the season early.
Thus we have to find a way to 10 wins. Not happening if we a lay a turd on the east coast again, IMO.
Ind looks very vulnerable... and Denver sucks, but losing to Jax and then having to win out seems like an impossible task. Especially how inconsistent this team has been. Ultimately I hope that missed FG isn't what keeps us out of the playoffs!
I wonder how many suicide boards got blown up yesterday by the Raiders... ha ha!!
Blanda,
From an overall coaching effort, this may be Cable’s best performance from an in game standpoint.
Case in point, the challenge to Gates’ catch. Yes, it was close and under normal circumstances it probably would not have been challenged. But it gave the defense a protracted rest while the review went on.
Even after the play was upheld I swear Cable winked at somebody, and he was smiling at one of the officials. From the replays there was probably less than a 5% chance it would be overturned. A normal timeout would have been your standard two minutes. This one gave the Dolts something to think about during the stoppage.
Correction on my earlier post. The jailbreak blitz was with four minutes to play, not two.
As for winning the division, the numbers don’t stack up very good. Basically, we have to win out and the Chefs split their last four. While that is possible, three of our games are against teams fighting for playoff spots. Indy looks normal and beatable now, but they still have Manning. Jacksonville won the way we did. Hard running, only threw 19 passes and solid defense. The one good thing is Tennessee isn’t supposed to be as good as the Dolts.
The Dolt’s only chance is to beat the Chefs. The Neutered Sheep are playing fairly well of late and could beat the Chefs at home.
Anyway you look at it it’s a tough row to hoe. But hey, I’m the infernal optimist.
As far as being a playoff contender, you have to first be competitive in your division. We have definitely done that. So, my optimism continues to grow.
H
In order for us to make the playoffs, KC has to loose to one team besides us. If they do, and we run the rest of the schedule, KC can't slip in ahead of us because we will have beaten them twice. We only need enough help so that KC gets beat by one team that isn't us.
"KC" struggled with the "MuleHead"s Sunday...Comments were made by others in the bar that they looked finished...That they have already blown their wad and on the verge of falling...Damn I'm hoping their right...Undefeated at home...
On the other front "SD" is wounded by us and may have trouble beating the "Squaw"s as a result...In several games this season teams have failed to win the week after meeting the Raiders..."SD" last time...Miami this last week...Pitts had trouble with Buffalo the week after playing us...
Hard to say how it all unfolds but here is what I project and want to see...
"SD" knocks off "KC" and wins out the rest of their season....10-n-6
"KC" than wins 2 in a row but gets a loss to us the last week of the season...10-n-6
Raiders win out the rest of the season...10-n-6
3 way tie but we are 6-n-0 in division so they sit home and we play at home in the 1st rd against Pitts....
Seymour get's his rematch with "LittleBen"....
PantyRaider...Spanking Time!!!!/_
Blanda,
That's basically my point. But, winning out, while possible, will be tough.
If the Chefs take two of the next three, they take the division.
But, I do see them losing to the Dolts, and the Neutered Sheep are 4-2 at home.
H
It's not likely we can run the table, so the Chiefs may need to lose three for us to have a real shot. I feel confident SD will bounce back and beat KC next week, and the Raiders have to beat KC in order to have any shot.
That leaves the Rams and the Titans. IMO, one of these two teams will have to step up to the plate and help the Raiders.
As pointed out by others, it may come down to a missed 33-yard FG earlier in the season. What a shame that would be; yet it also would mark real progress for the Raiders.
Now, before we get ahead of ourselves. If we don't come out all guns blazing against Jax, all bets are off.
H
"KC" rushed for 185yds -w- 4.7yd ave
Denver rushed for 161yds -w- 7yd ave against their "D"...
What gave "KC" the win was Denver being 9/28 86yds passing...
Meanwhile "KC" was 17/31 196yds passing -w- 1 "TD"....
They lost bad the 1st time they paled Denver...
Looking at trends:
Raiders are 6-n-6 -n- +14 net pts -n- 3-n-2 last 5 weeks...
Our remaining 4 games:
Jacks 7-n-5 -43 in net pts 4-n-1
Denver 3-n-9 -77 net pts 1-n-4
Indy 6-n-6 +27 in net pts 1-n-4
"KC" 8-n-4 +58 in net pts 3-n-2
This week -n- the last week could be our toughest games left...But we just knocked off the "Hot" team who were +85 pts and in a 4-n-1 streak...
PantyRaider...Depends What Raider Team Shows Up!!!!/_
Raiders execution of the GamePlan was great this week...
Run-Run-Run and that included "JC"...
Play-Action pass off the run...
Limit passing plays to 16 attempts...
"RB"/"FB" accounted for 6 completions...
"TE" had 1...
"WR"s 3...
Third Down Efficiency 8/15 - 53%
Fourth Down Efficiency 2/2 - 100%
38:40 "TOP"....
Let the "D" do the damage...
The "Neg"s were 1 Fumble and 13 flags for 105yds...
PantyRaider...
Panty,
"The "Neg"s were 1 Fumble and 13 flags for 105yds..."
News flash:
In our last eight games we are 5-3. In the three losses we had seven or fewer penalties and the team that beat us had more penalties than we did.
In the five wins we had ten or more penalties and had more penalties than our opponents.
I'm not recommending we go out and just committ penalties for the sake of committing penalties.
But, I am saying when we are more agressive, and play with more abandon we play better. Just go out an play hard, use your best technique and don't worry about the penalties.
It goes back to Cable's philosophy of Cut it Loose. If you're going to make a mistake, just make it at 100 MPH.
But, at least we didn't have 12 men on the field on consecutive plays. We can count.
H
Great gameplan, and great win by Raiders.
Just run baby....52 times !!!! Beautiful.
This shows that the Raiders can never abandon their rushing attack, ever, for any reason on earth.
It's their bread & butter, to shred defenses on the ground.
Also, Mclain hit looked legal to me.
BTW, seems our QB, Campbell took a visious swinging, forearm to the side of his helmet.
No flag of course. But tears for Sproles. Amazing.
Turn out the lights, the party's over, they say, all good things must end.......Dandy Don passed away today.

>>>>>
Nice to be actually considering scenarios in Dec for a change!
I'm going to root for SD just so we don't HAVE to win out to make the playoffs.
With a win vs KC, we own the first tie-breaker with both SD and KC...
I see squeaking in at 9-7 more likely than winning out.
Especially how horribly this team (and our QB) can play at the drop of the hat.
To finish 9-7 and win the division means KC would have to lose 3 of 4, including to us, plus SD will have to lose once.
KC 8-4 goes 1-3 and ends up 9-7
SD 6-6 goes 3-1 and ends up 9-7
Oak 6-6 goes 3-1 and ends up 9-7
Raiders win tiebreakers.
KC plays SD, Rams, Titans and Raiders. Losing three is doable, assuming SD and Raiders must beat them, and they split with the Rams and Titans.
Raiders need to split with Jags and Indy, then beat Denver and KC (that assumes the Raiders can go 6-0 in the division - a longshot for any team).
The above senario makes the last game against KC equiv. to a Super Bowl for any Raiders fan that followed the team for the past seven years.
Actually, even If we run the table KC still has to lose 2 games for us to snatch the Western Division. Of course our last game is against the Chiefs in KC.
Any tie with San Diego is settled in our favor by virtue of us beating them twice head to head and already having won 4 division games as they already have 3 loses in the division
With that being said the Jaguars must go down and go down hard!
Angelic Raider-
It's a sad day in Raider Nation as the broncos have fired coach McDaniels. Thanks for the 59-14 victory. You'll always have a special place in the hearts of Raider fans everywhere.
"H"....
You brought up a very interesting point...Looks like when we're in it the "Zebra"s pile-on....Yesterdays game was NOT called very well at all...Shit was allowed all day and rarely called...We got away with a few also like the pick for the Ford "TD" but the 3rd quarter was blanketed with "BS" to help them...
This is so funny....After all that "BS" about the Raider Way being outdated and un-useful in the modern NFL....
– Rather than use the previous game as a scouting report and blitz San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers into submission, the Raiders instead rushed primarily with their front four and redirected pass routes with man-to-man defense. It was old-style Raiders football, apparently still effective when executed properly.
“We only rushed four and we lined up and played man coverage on the outside,” Huff said. “ We pressed and kind of threw off their timing. Our front four got there and we made plays.”
We also blitzed at times but mainly that was an add-in...Something to keep them off-balance...We showed it often but pulled out and into coverage....
PantyRaider...The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same!!!!/_
AngelicRaider...
SOOOOooooo Funny!!!...
"MuleHead"s become Raiders East....
MountTime....2 coaches in 2 seasons...
So should we now offer "McDamnMules" a job...
Head of scouting dept and video conferencing...
PantyRaider..."SpyGate" West Takes Him Down!!!!/_
We owned their house:
“After halftime it kind of turned into a Raiders crowd and that was really cool. You could hear it. You have to take your hat off to our fans because they did a great job. Even at the start of the game with all of the emotion and everything that goes on you could feel our fans there. That’s really powerful.”
Chaz Is Back???
Chaz Schilens played eight plays, according to Cable, felt good Monday, and his role will be expanded each week.
NO new injuries....
Cable said there was no injuries “ relevance” coming out of the game.
Job well done...They be hurting....
PantyRaider....Just Like Old Times!!!/_
Been awhile, and good to see PR's take at the bottom.
My boy Ro blew that little fool UP!
I heard them call his name once during the game, and I was like What WHAT???? (Chaz that is).
Damn that was good. Sure would be nice if Pittsburg got the wildcard and we got to host the rematch (very smart on thier part letting the field go to hell to help nutralize our speed)
-moshbucket
alright, alright! so dipshit campbell had a good game. but which campbell is gonna show up next week? the inconsistent campbell or the good campbell? and why is it that this guy needs constant stroking by the coaching staff?
das it widdle jason. just do your bestest to make unckie al happy and don't worry about doz salary paying punks in the stands booing at you ok baybee?
Scorpio...
"JustCrap" had a good game because they didn't let him throw the football..."Run Baby! Run" and that's what worked...Even than he was hesitant running instead of just letting it rip...
He only threw 16 passes and completed 10...
But to his credit he had some great fakes....And if I remember correctly he kept at least one play alive with his feet and found the open man for the completion...
PantyRaider...Can It Work Twice!!!/_
Yes, it is nice to discuss possible playoff scenarios for a change BUT ...
Our ENTIRE season rests on a very difficult, east coast battle vs. a team (JAX) who is almost a carbon copy of us.
Another opportunity for the Raiders to climb the competitive ladder by beating a playoff type team on the road.
Turn JAX into docile putty cats!
Preliminary #'s will change slightly tonight...

Very true, but I see only one quality win on their schedule (vs a very suspect Indy team).
We at least have three quality wins vs SD and KC.
The great equalizer is our hideous east coast record over the last few years.
I'm guessing this game will go down to who has the ball last... should be great fun!
JAX vs. OAK -
This game will come down to a plain and simple question:
Who is able to run the ball better.
NYRaider,
That’s some math you did on the scenarios, and I’m a math minor. Winning it in a three way would be a sharp poke in the eye to the Dolts and Chefs. I would have to raise a glass to Cable on that one.
Maybe it was last year, but Cable was emphasizing division games as a starting point for turning things around. It was something like all games are important, especially division games. It makes sense, because that is where you can make up ground the fastest.
If we beat Jax and the Dolts pull it off against the Chefs the Coliseum needs to be SRO for the Geldings. Remember, we may have rolled them like a beach ball in a high wind, but we have split with them the last two years losing at home both years.
H
One more thing.
As a pattern, the Chefs have not won more than three in a row and their losses have come in pairs.
They just won their third consecutive game.
Just food for thought.
H
The idea the Raiders may win five in a row to finish the season 10-6 is a longshot at best.
All teams really have to know about the Raiders is choke off their running game and they're done (see Pitt and Miami). To wit, Campbell is a different QB when he is forced to throw.
IMO, 8-8 is a realistic goal and would represent sound improvement for a team that couldn't break five wins for seven straight years.
Gruden was 8-8 before he found real success, and he didn't have to recover from the depths that Cable has had to deal with.
At 6-6, Cable seems to have survived despite his former relationship with Kiffin, a mostly dismantled locker room, a completely inept QB (in Russell), a micro-managing owner, his inability to playcall his own offense, a bizarre exchange with an assistant that resulted in a broken jaw, accusations of domestic violence, and a QB controversy.
Cable's a survivor, and the team seems to be taking on his survival skills.
It will take all his coaching and personal skills to get this team over the hump.
"NYR" brings up a very interesting point:
Cable is a "Fighter"...Ya see it in everything with the man...From his time fighting in the arts to his playing time and coaching style...And especial the "JawBone" thing....
Yes the players are responding to that...Seymour is also a fighter as is "MM"/Houston-n-"DeathRo"....Now they start to feed off the energy and get the job done...It's now rubbing off on the "OL" as we saw this past Sunday...
Our "RB"s have gained an attitude now too...
That "Fighting Spirit" is what makes a man dig down deep inside himself and pull out what wasn't there...The will to dominate...To WIN....
Maybe this is the common ground that will keep the Cable-Davis relationship a float....They are both damn good fighters....They both have made mistakes but they don't turn their cheeks they just get up and run back in for more...
If this team can continue to adopt that image inside themselves we will have something really powerful back in "OakTown"...
You will know you've been in a fight...A WAR!!!...
PantyRaider....The Old Style Raiders Return!!!!/_
To Continue the point:
The old Raiders were that team nobody wanted to play....Especially not after a loss because we were way too angry and would take it out on them...
Looking back over the last 3...We came out of the bye flat...Seemed to lack the emotion we were playing with when we went in....Meanwhile Pitts took the attitude to be very physical with us...They did...We lost...
Than Miami came in and said they were going to get very physical with the Raiders....They did...We lost...But they can't find healthy bodies to take the field now...
Sunday we got up!!!...Played "SmashMouth" and left them on their knees...
Damn I hope that carries over to this week against the "Jacks" because we really need that type of attitude going in....We need to play "SmashMouth" with them and take what we want...
Than we come home to 2 very winnable games against very weak "D"s...."Donkey"s -n- Colts....
PantyRaider....Show The Will To Dominate!!!!/_
We don't face another strong "D" until "KC" who just gave up 161yds @ 7yd ave to the "MuleHead"s....
H, when was the last time you remember being able to say, "the Raiders are 5-3 over the last 8 games?" Must have felt weird coming off your fingertips. No?
Panty, this was exactly old style-no longer relevant Al Davis football. I've said all along that it's relevant as long as they have the players to do it. I watched them run 17-Bob-Trey-O on Sunday more times than I could count.
My feeling is that we have the fastest, best secondary in the NFL. Our D-line is finally just starting to catch up, and our LBs are far superior than in years past.
The rebuild is nearly complete. We need another WR and and some O-line help. Additionally we need someone to step up in a leadership position on offense. That's just beginning to be Campbell. If they keep at it, McFadden and Bush will step up as well.
The rebuild is complete. All we need now is tweeking.
"BR"....
I love it...Almost just like old times...Even when down the belief was there we will come back...
Like I said almost...We haven't come back much yet but it's building toward that now...
I'm not sure "JC" is going to be the man to lead us up that hill...I think we go after Vince Young or Vick and they are the leaders we will need...
A vet "WR" and I'm pimping Plexico "TheGunDumb" Burris who should come at a bargain price to get his ass back in the NFL like Vick did...
"CB" may still be a need also...
"C" may also be a need...
"RG"-n-"RT" may already be on the team in Looper -n- Campbell...
But the bulk of the re-build is already done...On that we agree...
PantyRaider....Soon After Just Re-Load Baby!!!/_
Blanda,
"H, when was the last time you remember being able to say, "the Raiders are 5-3 over the last 8 games?" Must have felt weird coming off your fingertips. No?"
Got to admit you are right. Probably felt a little weird reading it.
But, my greater point was about playing agressively, letting it all hang out.
I watched the game again last night and at one point in the fourth quarter the camera angle was behind McNeil the Dolts RT. As Houston was getting down into his stance he was staring McNeil in the eyes with the biggest grin on his face. He was having some fun.
H
Ok, this is absurd.
We swept the Dolts. Basically handed them an ass whipping on Sunday and have the same record at 6-6.
But, in BSPN's power rankings, the Dolts are two spots above us. They are at 14 and we are at 16. I've got no argument with our placement, but come on, the Dolts two spots ahead of us?????????????
H
"H"...
No Respect...
They said we caught them at a bad time the 1st time so no doubt think this one was just a bad time too...
They say Rivers had an off night...
Ya!...He was under siege that's why he was off!!!...
Than they say Sproles was injured...
Ya!..."DeathRo" took him out!!!...
That "Criminal Element" strikes again!!!...
PantyRaider...Raiders Were Just Too Brutal!!!/_
I think it is pretty clear that the Raiders "man" defense had been failing primarily due to the lack of QB pressure combined with soft coverages.
The Raiders still fall back on this occassionally, and usually get burned when they do.
However, the success of this defense rests largely on a new found pass rush and tighter press coverages in the secondary.
That doesn't change the fact that most of the NFL has figured out how to play zone coverages that the Raiders still lack. And these zone coverages are responsible for a higher turnover count, as players tend to see (and read) the QB better when they're not chasing a WR downfield. In addition, the secondary tends to react to a run quicker in zone than in man coverage.
The real goal is to be dynamic in your defensive scheme, and not rely so much on a technique that other teams will always recognize.
That said; if it works, don't try and fix it now. The Raiders should stick with their bread and butter and, as Cable says, cut it lose.
NYRaider,
Our man coverage is not the same without Nnamdi on the field. But, that goes without saying.
Nnamdi wasn't back all the way against the Fish and McFadden played a lot. Miami went after him hard. He has good skills but he's still a rookie and got burned a lot.
Against the Dolts we didn't blitz a lot, but we did blitz early with success. The first sack was a safety blitz. Another blitz or two in the first quarter and they are thinking about it all game long.
Our top sack guy is tied for 27th in the league, but as a team we are tied for first.

Does it really matter? Sometimes a game just takes a certain direction. No doubt Chargers fueled the Raiders with the two quick turnovers, Sproles fumble and Huff pick. It was up to them to come back and show something or get pushed around. They got pushed around. Raiders got a spark against Miami too against Dolphins with Ford's KOR but still got worked.

Q: So you expect him to be out there this week, or do you have to wait until the corpse wakes up and tells you what to do?
You think he/she means Al Davis?

PR - don't get your panties in a bunch over the Q&A I posted. I don't condone it. If that’s a jab at Al Davis it is disrespectful beyond belief. I’m surprised Herrera wasn't there to flex his paper muscles and escort that person out of the PC.
And how does the fact that any of us have or have not played competitive sports have any bearing on why the Raiders can't figure out how to be competitive?
Suddenly you're more qualified to judge WRs because you played pop warner football and have a booster club membership card? Don't you realize how ridiculous that is?
4:53 AM
nyraider said...
As for the Q&A, I was genuinely shocked by the statement. That's why (and the only reason) I posted it. In the few years I've been here at RT, I have never dissed the man in that way, and don’t expect others to, especially professional media. That’s totally uncalled for and, as I said, unprofessional. I remain a fan of Al Davis, despite that I disagree with the way he runs the team. Whether you chose to believe that or not really makes no difference to me. It’s a fact.
3:21 PM
nyraider said...
Ok, something very strange happened.
The Q&A I posted this morning was verbatim from J-Mac’s blog. I went back to it and found the content in question had been removed. I then searched the web for another transcript and found the same language as now posted on J-Mac’s site.
I assure you, this is not a hoax, at least not by me.
The perpetrator is either the author of the Q&A section I read this morning or it was removed (A) because it was distasteful and classless, or (B) to protect the media individual who made the comment.
I would like to email J-Mac and ask, but I am unable to find his email address (which is no surprise considering all the nuts he would hear from, today me being one).
I have no answer. If you want to believe I made it up, I have no proof that I didn’t. However, I assure you I did not. As I said, I posted it verbatim, in pure shock that it was said. I have stood behind every post I've ever made on this site. I have no problem accepting what is fact and acknowledging when I'm wrong.
However, this is pure mystery. Perhaps it will surface again in some fashion. Hard to believe that could get put out there then removed without a trace.

RE the JMAC blog post on the Cable Q&A, there's absolutely no way someone would ask that classless question at a presser and get an answer.

As I stated, this is where I cut it out, and the questionable content was later removed from J-Mac's blog for what should be obvious reason.

A few months ago I was having worries about McClain thinking he reminded me too much of Morrison.
After the hit McClain laid out last week, I have laid my worries to rest.
Those are game changing hits... its how Pitts keeps teams from continually going over the middle for years. If you don't have anyone laying PIPE after the catch, they just keep going across the middle.
Mitchell had some nice hits too...
....further... its also why the Raiders have sucked for so many years. The opposing QB's just kept abusing our middle, especially on third and longs... and nobody ever paid the price for it. We lock down the corners but leave the middle vulnerable... it means tons of excruciating 10 minute drives.
Enforcers over the middle are as much of a key to the Raider defense as base-4 pressure, and lock down M2M covers.
The last time we had it was Romo, and RWood.
We played in a SB that year.

Q: What went into decision to screw Wags’ boy Nick Miller by making him inactive, fair catch on the 4, perhaps?

Jerry MacDonald is the best, most respected, objective beat writer covering the Raiders, bar none. If you disagree, you are completely clueless.
I scour the net daily to find ALL articles relating to the Raiders. Over the past many years, without a doubt, MacDonald gives the most accurate, objective assessment of Raiderland. He is an excellent writer who I can always count on to get an unfiltered, professional account of the news relating to the Raiders.
PR - “Tried -n- Convicted By A Jury Of ONE!!!!/_”
You have proved nothing, except that Jerry McDonald will not stoop to your 12-year-old, 37 IQ level, AND that you have some sick obsession with me.
With your diatribe, you are singlehandedly responsible for the degradation of this site... even now at a time when the Raiders are attempting their first playoff run in eight years. I’m sure others here would rather consider the Raiders than your twisted obsession with me.
It’s become the Panty Waste obsession site.
You have gone as far as to recruit posters to make personal attacks on others. You are a mentally sick individual. Get some help!
Maybe it’s time for you to swim back to Cambodia and paint that shack you live in.
Well, well. Just call me ahead of the curve.
Go read my 12:53 post titled “News Flash:”. Then read the following article:
http://tinyurl.com/39lm63b
If I’m not careful I just might tear a rotator cuff patting myself on the back.
Although, I do wish I could take credit for this line from the article, “Conclusion: We are much better when we play 11 on 15.” That was the mindset of the Old Raider Teams. Twice though Sunday it was 11 0n 16.
And, they say we of the great unwashed can't do good analysis. If this gets to the league office they might tell the refs to dial it back.
Calico,
I agree. Over the years I have disagreed with Jerry MacDonald, but I find him the most level and objective of all beat writers covering the Raiders. Especially when he agrees with me as in the above article.
Also, your dream scenerio was right on. Damn we're good.

On "J-Mac"...
As is very well known I bash the "Mediot"s and -w- very damn good reason..."CessPool" is a perfect example of that...
However: For the record "J-Mac" is the most read and also the least bashed...He has his moments and I render no quarter...Just consistently me...But when I am in the need to know he's the very 1st sports source I turn to...
Than I look at the others to compare "Fact-n-Opinion" and if he is bashed at all it's for his injected "Opinion" into what is being reported as "Fact"....Usually because it slants things dis-favorably toward Mr Davis or the organization in some "Nasty" way which I personally feel is totally unnecessary/intolerable/unjustified/sarcastic -n- belligerent social "CRAP"!!!...
Just report the facts and let others draw their own personal conclusions or classify the opinion as what it is NOT as part of the reported facts....
Such As:
Report: Fact-Fact-Fact-Fact....
In conclusion: Opinion-Opinion-Opinion....
In this format I personally would have absolutely NO problem with the man...I would just disagree with his opinions which is no big deal....
Now as to my continued attacks upon what "NYR" has done that is also very damn consistent on my part...
For a fan to resort to slanderous attacks upon a respected "Mediot" in order to justify his perpetual attacks upon Mr Davis is also totally unnecessary/intolerable/unjustified/sarcastic -n- belligerent lying "CRAP"!!!...
And I for one will continue to attack such ignorant childish behavior here of anywhere else...
Both the "Lie" -n- the "Liar" who continues to pimp it...
PantyRaider...Truth Is Not In Them!!!/_
H, my thoughts were there with yours. Successful Raider teams, through the years, always competed for the most flags thrown in the season. It was almost like the Raiders considered it to be just another record to be broken.
The only time they seemed to break that trend was when Gruden was HC and Gannon was under center.
But it certainly validates a good "conspiracy theory." I've always maintained the the Refs make every effort to break Raider momentum. If the Raiders start moving the ball, the Refs start throwing flags.
The earlier Raider incarnations never gave a sh!t. "Go ahead, throw your flags. We'll just gain an extra 15 yards on the next play."
The penalties came back in Callahan's second year during Gannon's injury. That's why he called them "the dumbest team in football." But the old guys were leaving, and we didn't have the talent to equalize the penalties.
Also, I'd like to point out the reason SD lost last Sunday. Rivers couldn't defeat our MAN COVERAGE! See? If you have the right personnel, you don't have to imitate the rest of the NFL and go with the Cover 2.
"H"....
I saw that last night but at the time didn't understand the 11 on 15 thing...Now you made it clear...
We not only have to play the other team but also the "Zebra"s...
That goes right along also with my post to what you said that it appears the "Zebra"s get more active when we are in it but slack off when were getting worked...
This past game the 3rd quarter is when they made the majority of their attacks on us trying to take away the momentum and give it to "SD"....
PantyRaider...The Raiders Just Wouldn't Have It!!!!/_
There is no question that J-Mac is the goto source for Raider information. J-Mac is the most objective, but by the same token he IS NOT the one who is required to be objective. That obligation falls on Corkran who is the Merc "reporter." J-Mac is the commentator/blogger.
Not only does J-Mac stay reasonably objective, he stays fair. It seems that the team also respects him highly.
"NYR"...For The Record:
As far as what gives me the right:
We all have the right to promote respect -n- honesty and protect our social environments from the "Lie" -n- the "Liar"...That is a God given thing we were born with...
Your slanderous social conduct is intolerable...
Avast and hard over mate!!! Your traversing dangerous waters!!!...
One more thing about "J-Mac" in line with what "BR" reported...
He injects an opinion but also reports it when his nose is cut off...
Such as questioning Cable about the bad influence his "QB" controversy was having on the locker room and than reporting how Cable snipped him with...
"I was just there I didn't detect any problems"
In other words when were you even in our locker room to know anything about how things are effected...
So "J-Mac" reports both sides of the equation not like others who only report what makes them look good....
That's honesty I can admire...
PantyRaider...But NOT Completely After All He Is A "Mediot"!!!/_
Penalties... sorry... theres two sides to the coin. I don't care what the stats say... fer instance, they can stick all the pre-snap penalties straight up there asses. Theres no way in hell it helps any football team at any level.
This is one stat I don't trust for a second.
Most of our losses came because of incompetent execution, not lack of aggression.
"We all have the right to promote respect -n- honesty and protect our social environments from the "Lie" -n- the "Liar"...That is a God given thing we were born with..."
This coming from the insane poster who poses as other posters. One rule for Waste.....you can't reason with NUTS.

His hypocrisy knows no boundaries.
Every time he calls Jason Campbell “JustCrap” he defames Al Davis, he’s just too stupid to realize it.
He demonstrates no respect for the media, which he calls “mediots,” yet he demands it from others.
His endless diatribe on this board has destroyed its very integrity.
Gary,
Execution is part of the equation. But, this is a game that is based on physical aggression. Blocking, tackling, blitzing, sacking, etc.
If you don’t “execute” with “aggression” the other guy is going to kick your ass. We were pushed around and kicked around by the Squealers. We had 7 penalties for 55 yards, they had 14 for 163. They were the aggressor in that game.
Against the Dolts, we had 13 for 105 while they had 3 for 19 and one of theirs was for 12 men on the field. We were the aggressor. Yes, false starts ain’t good, especially at home. The other one that drives me nuts is block in the back. Like Madden used to say, “If you can read his name, don’t hit him.”
But, if you are going to play tight man coverage properly, you are going to get flagged on occasion. If you are going to time your blitz properly you are going to be caught offside on occasion.
In the game of football, the aggressor sets the tone.
But, for officiating, year in and year out, penalized teams don’t change much. You can change personnel, coaches, etc., but your reputation precedes you. In the 70’s and 80’s the Miami Fish were perennially amongst the least penalized. Guess who was head of the competition committee? Don Shula.
Also, you can’t tell me that in a game with the Patsies that they don’t hold, yet they are rarely called for holding.
The bottom line is, if you are worried about a penalty, and that is what is on your mind, you play less aggressively. You’ve got to believe you can overcome on if it happens.
Phil Villipiano said it best, if you are being held, or cut blocked or whatever and the refs won’t call it, then you have to do something about it. Sometimes that means a shot to the throat or hands to the face, or whatever, but you make them pay physically.
H
"NYR"...
Don't you ever mention "Integrity"/"Credibility" again...You have absolutely NONE!!!....
As for this crap...
He demonstrates no respect for the media, which he calls “mediots,” yet he demands it from others.
I openly criticize and acknowledge them when wrong -n- right....But I have never stooped so low as to slander one of them with my own lies the way you 2 have....
PERIOD!!!....
I have NO need to project my insecurities unto them the way you 2 have...
And "JustCrap" is exactly that when he rates a 15 or 20 as a vet NFL "QB"....Or are you now going to deny you have been bashing the man for his play also...More lies!!!...
Take for example your BoyFriend "Judas the Liar" who has NO TRUTH!!!/_
PantyRaider.....Deflect All You Want...Wiggle-n-Squirm Too...But There Is No Escaping Your Perpetual Lies While Projecting Yourself Onto Others Like "J-Mac"!!!/_
How low can you go!!!...
Gary...
I will agree about the stupid penalties like False Starts -n- Illegal Procedure that don't intimidate anyone...That is NOT aggression at all it's a lack of concentration on the play...
But other penalties like Off Sides are from being aggressive on "D"...
My point is that some of these flags are crap from the "Zebra"s and NOT legitimate mistakes at all...They come in spurts at critical junctures of the game...Usually they are momentum killers that get thrown at the most unfortunate time and when reviewing the play there was no infraction to be called...
False Start/Off Sides/Holding/Illegal Contact/Pass Interference and such are all judgment calls that they use to kill drives or sustain drives and they come in spurts when they need to gain control of a game...
If we are playing well the flags come out but many times when we are disgustingly inept the flags stay in the pocket...That doesn't make sense...You would expect that when playing horrid there would be more infractions to call...
PantyRaider...Thus The Term 11 On 15 That "J-Mac" Acknowledged!!!/_
PR - You are a bald faced liar and a hypocrite with zero integrity. You don’t even know what that means. Because if you did, you wouldn't be here pointing fingers.
You’re on here everyday bashing Jason Campbell, calling him “JustCrap” and defaming Al Davis in the process. Here’s all the proof I need (and a very small sample at that).
PR Quotes:
“So we are now stuck the rest of the season with "JustCrap" as our primary option...”
“Both "D-Mac" -n- Bush were former "QB"s at a lower level and are healthy -n- prolley bring more to the table than "JustCrap" ever could....”
“PantyRaider....Where's "JePurple" [Russell, another handpicked Al Davis QB] When We Need'em!!!/_”
“I'm trying but it's difficult to keep faith starring at "JustCrap"s dumb looks.”
“Play-Action is now useless...Who will bite... Maybe quick hitting pass plays but with "JustCrap"s hesitation how do we do that...”
“All last off-season you couldn't make "JePurple" complete a pass in Madden "10" and now this off-season with Madden "11" you wont be able to get "JustCrap" to complete a pass either.”
Al Davis Quote: “I really liken this team a great deal to the team of 1980, in which the great Jim Plunkett pulled us out of the doldrums, took us to the Super Bowl as a wild card.... I see this young Jason Campbell as a football player like I saw Jim Plunkett. He has everything. He was 13-0 in college, at Auburn, he can throw up the field, he can run, he’s big, he’s smart. I really predict great things for him.”
Your abusive posturing against Jason Campbell is nothing less than a defamation of Al Davis.
So you see, you are a liar and a hypocrite with no integrity. You have some balls pointing fingers at anybody.
The jury has deliberated. You are guilty of lying and being a hyprocrite with zero integrity.
In your own words,
“Deflect All You Want...Wiggle-n-Squirm Too...But There Is No Escaping Your Perpetual Lies.”
>>>>>
Also, you can’t tell me that in a game with the Patsies that they don’t hold, yet they are rarely called for holding.

Billicheat doesn't do as much holding defensively until the playoffs... especially against passing teams. He knows the refs have a tighter whistle, thus mugs, holds, trips, eye gouges... whatever it takes to disrupt the pattern. For the most part he's gotten away with it over the years... the most glaring example was the SB vs StL.

Chiefs' Cassel has appendectomy; no word on Sunday status
Are you kidding me!!!...
Look at this freakin shit...Just in time Baby!!!...
Quarterback Matt Cassel, a key reason the Kansas City Chiefs have emerged as contenders and lead the AFC West late in the season, underwent an appendectomy Wednesday.
The Chiefs said the procedure was a success, and they expect Cassel to return to work this week. They didn't say he would be ready to play Sunday when the Chiefs (8-4) travel to San Diego for a showdown with the Chargers (6-6), who trail Kansas City by two games in the division.
Brodie Croyle, who is 0-9 as an NFL starter and hasn't appeared in a game all year, took most of the practice snaps Wednesday. The Chiefs also signed quarterback Tyler Palko to the 53-man roster from the practice squad.
PantyRaider....GO "SD" "KC" Be Ripe For The Slaughter!!!/_
What? Isn't this the shit you want from me? You managed to take the fun out of this site. So let's give it a try your way.
"JustCrap" by Panty Waste, perpetrator of the diatribe that has destroyed this site, as he defames Al Davis.
"PantyRaider...Malicious Content -w- Malicious Intent!!!/_"
No truer words have been written.
PR -
I find it amusing, ironic, hypocritical, and frankly sad, that you love to bash "JustCrap" Campbell (and indirectly Al David) yet you back up DHB like he saved your life.
Jason Campbell, like the Raiders team as a whole, has had an up & down season performance-wise. Yet through it all he has been a team first, first class, highly resilient professional.
You can bring up all the stats in the world or just talk rubbish but J.Campbell has PLAYED a BIG part in 5 of our 6 wins;
SD x 2-> Excellent QB play, leadership, and game management.
KC -> Bounced back from a rough 1st half and made the plays (yes with the help of his teammates) to win in OT.
DEN, SEA -> Solid game management, error free, turnover free QB play.
In this last game vs. SD, Campbell demonstrated good mobility to avoid the rush, buy more time, and make some critical 1st downs and a TD with his legs. He is no longer looking over his shoulder and seemed especially confident and poised on Sunday.
If DHB has a good game, I gladly praise him. If Campbell has a good game, you keep up the same bull-$hit act. Why?
I thought this was all about the team, the Raiders success ... Is it because you've pinned yourself into a corner by continuing to bad mouth your team's starting QB?
Do us all a favor and lose the confrontational, internet tough guy act.
In the past few weeks, your schtick is played out, tiresome, predictable, boring, and has NOTHING to do with adding value to the comments section.
If you ask me, you need to recalibrate your reason for being a Raider fan. Are you a fan because you love the team or a fan so you can troll the blogs and forums?
Damn...The cards are all lining up for the big draw...
"Donkey"s fire their "HC" so what the hell will they have left...
Now this...

Can the stupid crap and go fuck yourself...
Go back and read it...I gave "JustCrap" credit when we played well and bashed him for his usual sick ass performances...And last week he only threw 16 freakin passes...Now you want to include him in the top rankings of NFL "QB"s...You better put down that "CrackPipe"....
And when did you ever praise "DHB"...Prove that shit because I never saw it even when he had 2 100yd games...
So now you resort back to your stupid "RT County Regulator" identity...Well it didn't work before and it ain't working now...
Can your "Tough Guy"....
Are you for real or just out to lunch...Better check you brain it's in a malfunction stage...
Oh!...And by the way...When was your last post of any merit...You had one praising "J-Mac' and a couple warning how difficult "Jacks" is and one patting yourself on the back...Now that relates this entire damn thread....
Meanwhile I'm bringing it with news we can use and and so are others but now you want to name me to your ignorant damn "Troll" list...Fuck yourself...And I ain't on YOUR damn board...

On "D" the Raiders have a slight edge in everything except rushing yds allowed...However these stats reflect the season when we were weak at the beginning but much stronger against the rush of late...

As usual, you are talking in circles. How is it remotely possible to give Campbell credit if you are (a) still calling him "JustCrap" and (b) are completely clueless about the game of football.
NEWSFLASH:
Jason Campbell played brilliantly as the QB of YOUR team this past Sunday. To deny that is silly, foolish, and ignorant.
You write, "And last week he only threw 16 freakin passes...Now you want to include him in the top rankings of NFL "QB"s."
Here's a clue, boy wonder:
Jason Campbell had a QB rating of 105.5 on Sunday.
Jason Campbell ran for a 9 yard TD run on 4 and 1.
Jason Campbell ran for 12 yards on 2-9 for a 1st down.
Jason Campbell ran for 9 yards on 3-8 for a 1st down that kept a drive alive that led to a TD.
Jason Campbell threw a beautiful TD pass to Ford and had ZERO interceptions for the day.
Jason Campbell completed 62.5% of his passes on Sunday.
Jason Campbell led the Raiders by managing the game and coming up BIG when the Chargers cut the lead to 21-13 by promptly leading us on the ensuing drive to a 7 play, 5:24 time of possession TD to ice the game.
PR - You have no clue.
J.Campbell has PLAYED a BIG part in 5 of our 6 wins;
calico, when he sucks HE REALLY SUCKS! dude (bambi - remember deer in the headlights?) is inconsistent!
which campbell are we gonna get sunday?
PR - You do realize that DHB has caught 0 (not a misprint) balls in the past 5 games, right? If you think that 19 receptions in 12 games is adequate production, knock yourself out. Sorry but until DHB proves himself on the field, on a consistent basis, I'm not interested in talking about what a great down field blocker he is.
Scorpio:
No doubt, Campbell has been inconsistent this season just like the team. When our running game is clicking, he is a solid, productive, game manager who is a BIG part of our success.
So no one mistakes my past posts on Campbell, let me make a few things clear:
#1: I'm a Raider fan and Jason Campbell is our starting QB for 2010. I'll worry about 2011 in 2011.
#2: I support Campbell because he seems to be a good guy, very professional, and has some admirable traits such as being a team first guy, humble, hard worker, and don't forget, a top notch athlete.
#3: With Campbell as the starting QB, the Raiders have won 4 of their last 5 games. (Den, Sea, KC, SD wins; MIA didn't play; Pitt loss)
Calico,
I second your three points on Campbell. While I said Gradkowski should return to the starting lineup when healthy, it appears he can’t stay that way. Cable was a man of his word and started Ski. But, now it’s Campbell so I support him.
He’s a good guy and one hell of an improvement over Russell. Aside from Gradkowski the team seems to be getting healthy for the first time this season. The Chaz is back and might see more field time this Sunday, Miller and McClain have enough practice time now that they can go light during the week and still contribute.
As for Cassel, it would be very dangerous to put him on the field this Sunday. A blow to his side could rupture the incision and bust the stitches inside and cause internal bleeding. As a coach or organization do you want that on your hands?
From a personal standpoint, I want him healthy and playing. If we win this thing I don’t want to hear about how “lucky” we were with him out a game or two. Gallery was out almost a month with his. But, Gallery's was an emergeney procedue and this more invasive.
I had a small hardware store put in my back in September. Even though I “feel” better than I have in ten years (except for the knees, ankles and shoulder – getting old ain’t for wimps) the doc told me it’s still six more months before I can consider resuming “normal” activities.
Cable has changed the schedule this week to mirror east coast times. Good move. Might not work, but it gets the team more in tune with a 10:00 starting time.
Gary,
You don’t just turn blocking schemes and such on and off like a light switch. As for the St. Louis Super Bowl against the Patsies, that was a season long complaint against the Patsies and the league decided to take a look at it after the Patsies had won. It seems the Patsies can go several games in a row without a single holding penalty. Somehow things like that don’t compute.
John Madden used to say Dwight Stephenson was the best holder in the league. He almost never got called, and the Fish went six or more consecutive seasons leading the league with giving up the fewest sacks.
Even today and last season the Fish are amongst the least penalized teams (top five) in the league.
It's just my opinion, but aside from the obvious things such as false starts, and offsides, reputation influences how the refs look at things.
Hell, two or three times it sure looked like SD was lined up in the neutral zone, but no call was made.
H
Sorry, Folks. I’m not allowed to talk football anymore, unless I conform to the views of my censorship. Panty Waste doesn't believe anyone is entitled to their own opinion. They must share his opinion or experience the stupidity of his wrath.
He’s nothing more than a troll who defames Al Davis with his every post. He knows nothing about football. But he will get on his soapbox and preach that he is a card-carrying member of the boosters, which in his mind is equivalent to being a pro athlete.
Now he wants us to feel sorry for him.
“They wanted to make it personal...Take shots at a man's family or military connected health issues.”
Whah! Crybaby! Stop putting your personal shit out there. How dumb can you be?
You were never in the military. Where’s the proof? There’s no proof because you’re a LIAR! You live in a shack in Cambodia and swim back to the U.S. to collect welfare. You’re a disgrace.
How many times will you defame Al Davis today? What a hypocrite!
Defame: “damage the good reputation of....”
Every time you call Jason Campbell “JustCrap” you damage the good reputation of Al Davis. You’re just too feakin' stupid to realize it.
You’re a LIAR and a hypocrite, and a waste on this board.
"CJ"....
Now the total "Hypocrisy" comes forth...
Sorry but until DHB proves himself on the field, on a consistent basis, I'm not interested in talking about what a great down field blocker he is.
BUT....
No doubt, Campbell has been inconsistent this season just like the team. When our running game is clicking, he is a solid, productive, game manager who is a BIG part of our success.
Than this:
#1: I'm a Raider fan and Jason Campbell is our starting QB for 2010. I'll worry about 2011 in 2011.
#2: I support Campbell because he seems to be a good guy, very professional, and has some admirable traits such as being a team first guy, humble, hard worker, and don't forget, a top notch athlete.
Now the exact same things can be said about "DHB" you fool...He's a stand-up hard working Raider starter...
Now this:
#3: With Campbell as the starting QB, the Raiders have won 4 of their last 5 games. (Den, Sea, KC, SD wins; MIA didn't play; Pitt loss)
Who else was starting on that team..."DHB"...And with him starting we won...
At NO time has "JustCrap" carried this team....Not in a single game has that been done...ONLY if everything is working well around him can he be productive....Period...And that's a vet NFL "QB" who you bashed to death as Al's boy saying he got a "Scholarship" to be playing..."DHB" is still just a second yr "WR" for crying out load but you can't/won't see the difference...
As usual...You twist it in circles in ways it can't bend...
NOW THIS...Jack!!!...

"H"...
I understand that you want to take them on but hell...If we get the draw when they are down and that helps our chance to get a "V" I'm not feeling any sorrow...It was out of our control but just an extra benefit...He will be healthy by the time we play but it's just going to help us make up ground now if "SD" -n- "StL" can knock them down....
Get back to an even table if we can take care of "Jacks"...
PantyRaider...Maybe 3-Way @ 10-n-6 or 9-n-7 Comes True...
Besides we be down to our 2nd "QB" too so lets see how they play with one out...
DHB has currently been suplanted as a starter. He may trot out there on the first play, but his time on the field is greatly diminished. And that is the biggest barometer.
And, it might go down even further with The Chaz back. His biggest contribution lately is on the end around.
The greater point is in the last eight games Campbell started seven of those and we are 5 - 2 in those games. And, this from a guy who said Ski should get the start when healthy.
Campbell relieved against SD the first time and led a comeback. The win was sealed by the defensive TD, but he took the team down the field to take the lead.
Early on last Sunday he "carried" the team with his running for a TD and and two first downs to extend drives. Half way through the second quarter he ws the teams leading rusher with almost 40 yards.
You can carry a team in different ways.
H
H
Correction:
In the last eight games Campbell started six and relieved in one and we are 5-2 in those seven games.
H
Panty,
I'm not feeling any sorrow, I just don't want any whinning from Chef fans.
We're 5-3 with a crapload of injuries.
H
In my expert opinion, no way Cassel plays against the Chargers Sunday, a game that affords the Raiders a chance to move within a game of first place should they beat the Jaguars. You’ve got to think the Dec. 19 date in St. Louis is up in the air as well.
There be hope!!!...
"H"...
True the team can be carried in different ways but those "RB"s who gained 200yds are the reason "JustCrap" was free on those plays...The "D" was worried about that run...
"JustCrap" had one of his best performances as a Raider but largly because the GamePlan didn't allow him to throw much...I gotta give credit here to the coaches who found a better way to use him...
That guy still scares me so it's going to take a few good games to get over that...Lets see what happens now...
PantyRaider...He Has Earned "JustCrap" Over Time...It Will Take Tile To Live It Down!!!!/_
I dissagree. He took advantage of the situation and made something out of nothing.
He provided leadership by example and two of his runs set up TD's.
Right now even Peyton Manning isn't having that kind of affect.
Might he continue his inconsistency? Possibly. But, if he's consistant five out of seven games, then we win 11 games a year on average instead of loosing 11.

No. You dragged me into your hole with your constant belligerence and badgering me about something I posted from another site that was essentially meaningless, but you (BEING THE ASSHOLE THAT YOU ARE) decided to make it your personal war.

But that’s not good enough for you. You wan't to extract a pound of flesh for fucking j-walking.
Quick note:
We evidently have the best hurdler at the fullback position in the NFL. Reese hurdled the DB trying to take his legs out from under him and got 10-12 extra yards.
Just trying to show the team effort.

H - I appreciate what you're saying. I usually do just that. But, unfortunately, I am no longer entitled to post here with the freedom that my censorship enjoys.
As for me, I wish we could find a way to merge Gradkowski and Campbell. I'd like to see Campbell's game management skills and strong body combined with Gradkowski's fire and mobility.
I wonder if we could get the team surgeons to do some tinkering in the off season.

"Some guys have had the procedure and been out for awhile, some guys have come back quickly," Haley said Thursday. "We have to wait. I really don't have anything to give."
Backup Brodie Croyle took the first-team snaps at practice and will start if Cassel can't play. Tyler Palko, newly promoted off the practice squad, was the backup.
Out for a while would be nice...If they lose 2 and we are winning we are tied one week before we play...Even if they have a one game lead our "V" in their house would send us to the "PO"s while they sit home....

Here's a clue, boy wonder:
Jason Campbell had a QB rating of 105.5 on Sunday.
----------------------------------
WoW! Jack!!!...He was highly rated for handing off the football...
He had 16 plays other than hand-offs -n- runs -n- he produced on 10 of them...10 productive plays in a game by a vet NFL "QB" but your pimping him like he's the 2nd coming of.....
Oh!...Ya I forgot you bashed Mr Davis for saying he was like Plunkett and later for Cable naming him starting "QB" when he never earned it....
But now he be your boy so pimp the hell out of him....
He won games...Ah!...He directly contributed to a few losses as I remember...

PantyRaider...Go For It!!!!/_
Sure wish you could post a legitimate challenge so I would have to work hard...
Here's the legitimate rebuttal to your complete rubbish:
Jason Campbell is our starting QB.
I want the Raiders to win.
In 5 of our 6 wins, Jason Campbell played an integral role in our team's success.
BTW, in case you didn't get the memo, the Raiders best chance to win is with (a) a good rushing attack (b) Campbell managing the game (c) good D (d) good special teams.
Personally, I don't care how many pass attempts Campbell has in any given game. I don't care who gets the credit for the win. And finally, I know this will kill you but, YES, I want to see DHB do well and contribute to the team's success.
Jason Campbell had a QB rating of 105.5 on Sunday.
----------------------------------
"WoW! Jack!!!...He was highly rated for handing off the football..."
This shows how completely ignorant you are about the game of football.
Campbell did everything and more to execute the game plan. On top of completing 62.5% of his passes, throwing 1 TD and 0 INTs, he ran for pivotal 1st downs and a TD. When the team needed him to make a big completion to ice the game, guess what, he executed the play action pass to Murphy to perfection even fooling the cameramen.
Keep talkin' in circles and racking up your meaningless posts ... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ whatever.
BTW Waste: You can't have it both ways ... don't pretend to support Campbell if you continue to call him "JustCrap". It is the definition of a hypocrite. You simply can't act like you are giving Campbell his due credit when slandering him with a BS, childish nickname.
It is the equivalent of saying,
"Yeah. I give our owner credit and props for the brilliant 2010 draft. The "Crypt Keeper" was on the money with McClain, Houston, Valdheer, etc."
PR -
If you are so worried about Cassell's health and have a boner for him, now is the time for you to jump on the Chefs ... after-all, you obviously don't support the Raiders QB. Think of how much fun you could have trolling the Chefs forums with all of your "inside" knowledge on the Raiders. Being a former booster club member, you could really stir things up and get the attention you obviously crave.
Pathetic.
Well "CJ"...
Now "JustCrap" has earned the starting role being such a great Hand-Off "QB"....He's also the last man standing...Unless Kile shows something...
Re: "DHB"
As I posted before I never pimped him and never wanted him and never knew who he was until the draft...Than he became a Raider and I support his as such...
The same can be said about "JustCrap" but he has earned my scorn for the losses he was instrumental in getting us...As a Vet "QB" who is suppose to lead the team to "V"...
"DHB" is merely a high drafted 2nd yr "WR" with very little responsibility except to block/catch/run....Huge difference from my perspective...
But I also bashed "QB"s like Walter/Collins/Schreador/Mire and some who I forgot their names...We have had some Lu-Lu's on this team over the years...
PantyRaider...I Bash A "QB" Before Any Other Position On The Team...They Have The Most Responsibility And The Most Effect!!!/_

You are ABSOLUTELY right ... the QB has far more responsibility than a WR. In 5 of our 6 wins, Campbell's play was instrumental in the wins. The reality is that Campbell has been more successful than any Raider QB since Gannon in 2002.
As far as DHB, he has been a significant contributor in 1 game out of 12, the Sea Chickens victory. Each Raider from 1 to 53 has a role to play. The QB is naturally in the spotlight and carries the largest responsibility.
My disappointment in DHB is that he has virtually been in the witness protection program since October in terms of production. 5 games with little to no contributions. The coaching staff has finally and rightfully dialed down DHB's snaps the last few weeks. If and when DHB starts earning more snaps due to productivity, the team will benefit.
Waste - Don't bother trying to pull me into your BS game about "scars" "coming home" etc. What does this have to do with Raider football? If you are looking for a shoulder to cry on then you are asking the wrong guy.
“Think of how much fun you could have trolling the Chefs forums with all of your "inside" knowledge on the Raiders.”
Waste already does that! As he does with Broncos’ sites and Chargers’ sites, etc. He is an Internet troll, on a mission to set us all straight.
Jones figured out this clown a long time ago. You can’t reason with insane!
Internet troll for life! He collects welfare which he uses to purchase medical marijuana so he can get stoned and troll the Internet. Loser!
Panty Waste said: “...‘JustCrap’ but he has earned my scorn for the losses he was instrumental in getting us...As a Vet "QB" who is suppose to lead the team to "V"...”
Campbell loses a few games while being supported by bad line play and no running game, and that was enough to earn the relentless “scorn” of this moron.
Who does he blame for the previous seven years?! WTF?
Waste said: “And for the record...I'm the one who told "RT" I would just ignore your crap....”
LIAR! You live for the argument. This is what you wanted. Your own personal war.
You want folks to believe you’ve been victimized by my constant belligerent attacks here, and that you’re just the victim. Woe is you! I must have forced you to drag me into your gutter by re-posting my own post excerpt 10 times here, plus however many times on other Internet blog sites.
Hey Waste, how come Jerry hasn't posted here to put me in my place like you said he would?
LIAR! LIAR!
I know why, because you are a child and he doesn't want to get his hands dirty changing your diaper.
Swim, panty waste, swim! You have some painting to do.
Here’s the loser in his natural habitat. Stealing your hard-earned money and taking it back to Cambodia.

Get to know the loser:
“I'm right here in Morro Bay Cali and will be at Legends Sunday morning...”
"Scum like that that was never willing to lay his ass on the line but tries to punk those of us who did is the lowest form of humanity on Earth...."
What a tool!
Here's a newsflash for ya Waste:
Serving in the military (if you actually did) doesn't excuse you for being a complete ASSHOLE!
Check out this Q & A:
Q: What kind of moron comes to a Raiders forum, acts like a complete asshole, then demands amnesty due to his military service?
A: A complete low-life loser on welfare. The same asshole who is constantly defaming Al Davis while hypocritically pointing his fingers at others for so-called "bashing" Al Davis.
I'm with CJ regarding Campbell. Campbell has the type of personality that takes guys a little while to get used to. He's simply not an outgoing type. Perfectly nice guy, but he's not outgoing like Grad.
That said, I can understand Cable's comment that it has taken him a little time to gel with the team. There's absolutely nothing wrong with his stats in games where he's performed well. He is an excellent game manager, usually very accurate, and he avoids interceptions.
As for the low number of passes, Panty, welcome to the Raiders. I remember Plunk frequently had low numbers like that - because they had Allen and the Raiders had a run first team. Now we have McFadden and Bush, and the Raiders are a run first team.
Calico,
If we're comparing scars now can I submit an 8 X 10 glossy of the ones the doc gave me in September for consideration?
Man, you just take a four or five hour nap and you wake up peeing through a tube. No dignity left in this world.
I can include my last colonoscopy too.
Now that that's out of the way, on to football.
Big John Henderson is putting out the trash talk. He's daring the Jaxs to run at him all day long.
Something tells me he isn't happy with the way he left there.
For the record, the chip block by DHB that freed Ford for the TD was a borderline pick. Picks are illegal, but it worked.
SD tried the same thing later, but in very poor execution their pick guy was late, bounced off our defender and interfered with the primary receiver.
No flags were thrown in either case.
H
I went and saw the video of Waste's home. Is that him talking? Wow, he sounds like a real tough guy. How bout when he introduces his wife...say's she is doing her 'homework'. The 60 yr old's wife is doing her high school homework....that just doesn't sound right. Did he bring her back to San Diego? One other wasteful tidbit.....remember Waste scolding others for not putting up money to watch the Raiders before they started winning lately? How come Waste didn't buy a ticket when the Raiders were in San Diego last week? That poor kid.....
JONES
The truth ALWAYS does come out, the truth is, Waste's own ego and arrogance has sunk him AGAIN. Got to wonder how many aliases the guy has on here. Wouldn't suprise me if half the "crew" is him posing. Hey Waste, you better get back to your shack, I hear there's a tsunami on the way, wouldn't want you to miss it.
JONES
Got to give Campbell credit for standing tall through all this.
Campbell's primary weakness was revealed when the Raiders didn't play well as a team, so maybe no other Raiders QB could have done better. Who knows?
Sure I wanted Ski, but as I look at the season, Campbell is largely the reason the Raiders have done well.
You can't say, well he only passed 16 times last Sunday. This is the guy that touches the ball on every play. His game management skills are solid, and he knows how to protect the ball.
Therefore, I am anxious to see him play out the season. It's a great opportunity for Campbell AND the Raiders. He'll either grow with the team, or the Raiders will see clearly they need to go another direction.
H - With that attitude, Henderson needs to get extra snaps this week.
What's going on here is ugly and unfortunate, and not what this site aims to be a home for.
Blanda,
Exactly. If you are getting 350 yards of offense and winning, what difference does the ratio of run to pass you have make.
Campbell also had a 300 yard pasing game against the Sea Chickens.
Matt Cassel passed for over 200 yards five of twelve games. Three of the those five games were losses. Yet the midia is all a twitter about what the Chefs will do if he doesn't play.
As for Campbell passing only 16 times, he completed 62.5%. The fewer times the ball hits the ground, the fewer times you have to throw it.
The guy we are having to defend this Sunday only passed 19 times. He had a better completion percentage, but a lower yards per attempt average and a much lower yards per completion average.
It's not always how many times you throw it, but more what happens when you do.
Take, I completely concur.
H
well take, if you allow the nuts to run the show.....you always cut me off when I was being bad, but for some reason, you have always let the shack keeper have his run. Maybe you should nip that bud. He even wrote at one time that he was on a mission to bring this site down to that level. If you allow it, don't complain because of the outcome. "The inmate is running the site" what do you expect?

Whah! Crybaby! Stop putting your personal shit out there. How dumb can you be?
You were never in the military. Where’s the proof? There’s no proof because you’re a LIAR! You live in a shack in Cambodia and swim back to the U.S. to collect welfare. You’re a disgrace.

----------------------------------
I never ask to cry on any shoulder...That's your style...
Now you have sunken into the same childish pit those two ignorant clowns live in...Must really make you proud...
You are what you eat/digest and now you too are just part of that sick ass "Clown"...
Rub-a-dub-dub...3 "Clown"s in a tub!
Must really make you proud...
Bottom line is you have been wrong on virtually every single post you made threw time the past 2 season....Wrong about Mr Davis...The Raider organization...The coaches...The players...And now it must really eat you alive that you can't keep feeding your anonymity toward Mr Davis so have to dig something up rather than to just "ManUp" and admit...Give props to the "OldMan"...He's doing it his way and it works....
It's NOT me your bashing....It's the Raiders....I'm just the one in your face about your putrid history...So I get to dodge you childish stones...No power behind a thing you throw at me....
"RT"...
You said you wanted to clean this thing up....I said OK I will try to do my part and ignore their constant crap although I doubted it will work...It continued despite my non action/comment...You made NO attempt to stop the varaug of stupidity the was prevalent here...I than posted I would NO longer be silent and take that abuse...Now this is the aftermath of that situation...
Continued ignorant stupidity of making personal assaults on a man's family/military service/residence or life style that have absolutely nothing to do with the game of football...
As you may recall there was a time we talked openly as family on this board....Things we posted about our lives have now become the accepted targets of abusive accusations on your board...At what point do you make a stand against such crap...
Now it has degenerated to a point where "J-Mac"s blog is slandered by lies right here on your board...I wouldn't be too proud of that If I were you....
As for me I don't hide from a damn thing...I'm right here out in the open as always...I take responsibility for my actions and I won't turn a cheek to the cowardice accusations of the idiots who dwell here....If it's my mistake it corrected...That's a matter of record....
Now it's your turn...This has definitely become your mistake threw non-action and others are now falling into the JONES Pit of darkness....Occupied now by 3...At what point do you take action....
PantyRaider....Standing As A Man!!!!/_
RT - Sadly, you’re right. I would much rather talk football, but I've been taken to task for what should have been a meaningless post. I try to post here with integrity, but find it very difficult when I am badgered and repeatedly called a liar by one individual who is clearly trying to incite these ridiculous exchanges.
Case in point.
My feeling is that everyone needs to take action by avoiding the highly personal stuff and getting back to football. I am not pointing fingers, simply making a plea.
Here’s the loser in his natural habitat. Stealing your hard-earned money and taking it back to Cambodia.
A complete low-life loser on welfare.
Funny...I earned mine as did a few other "OldMen" who post on this board...And even after the Knock-Down I never quit working...Still am working...The question that rises from this crap is what did/do you do....
Always on the net day-n-night...When do you have time to work....
"RT"...
Your in-action has led to this point...
avoiding the highly personal stuff
They don't/won't simply because they have NO legitimate knowledge of the game nor decency in themselves so the only alternative is to make personal attacks upon another poster...That's quite simply just who they are...
Make NO mistake...I'm NOT turning a cheek to this crap!!!!....
PantyRaider....Hell To Pay!!!!/_
What would you like me to do? I can't sit here all day deciding which posts to delete. I am bothered by all of this and am pleading with everyone to help.
If everyone agrees right now to stop the personal attacks, that would really help, and I don't think it's too much to ask.
Everyone please post one football-only comment and lets go from there.
Here's mine:
My feelings toward Campbell remain mixed. There's no arguing with his results (better than anyone since Gannon). At the same time, I just don't know why, but he gives me a feeling of ambivalence. Should I be excited about him leading our offense in 2011? Can he get us where we need to go? I'm still not sure.
RT, I think the reason we're a little ambivalent about Campbell is that the knock on him is that "he lacks passion." That was the same knock on Russell. But the problem is that Russell's lack of passion was drug induced. Campbell is just quiet. Because he's quiet, he fails to ignite the team in the huddle the way Grad can. But then, Grad didn't do such a good job of that himself in his last start.
But there is such a thing as a "quiet leader." According to Cable, Campbell is beginning to find that space.
I'm hoping and trusting that he's right.
I don't have a football take right now, but I'm in. It was never my desire to stray from discussing football. We've waited almost eight years for the Raiders to put on the show they're giving us right now. That's all that should matter to this board.
Well Take, it looks like a game of Whack a Mole, you're the mole, but there's only one hole to pop out of.
My sympathies, I'm on your side on this one.
Is that sucking up enough to garner a few brownie points?
As for your points on Campbell, Plunkett wasn't a firey leader either. He just kept getting up over and over again refusing to stay down. Quiet toughness.
Campbell is a little bit that way, but he was thrown into the lurch where Plunk got two years to learn and recover.
Compared to the first two games he is doing reasonably well. Slowly he's becoming more consistant. The problem is his lows have been very low.
I still think he can be a servicable quarterback along the lines of a Brad Johnson. He might surprise and make the Pro Bowl next year. My preference is Super Bowl.
H
I hope that's the case, Blanda. I guess Eli Manning is sort of like that.
I would prefer to see more fire and brimstone, which is what you see with most top quarterbacks. Part of it could be having been subjected to so many un-passionate-looking QBs over the years, Collins, Brooks, Walter, Russell...That's what makes Grad such a breath of fresh air, that obvious excitement and fire.
Thanks, H.
By the way, did anyone see Collins inching down the field last night and leading the Titans to a touchdown with zero seconds left when they needed 10 points, not seven?
It was like a horrible flashback to the Norv-Collins days, the long fourth-quarter drives while down by three scores.
One thing I'd like to see Cable and Jackson do more of. I'd like to see more of Reese shifting out of FB to TE in a double TE formation. He's a good enough receiver (and a decent blocker now) to where he can really cause the defense another headache.
Isn't Reece a converted TE?
Take,
I didn't see last night's game, but I thought I had exorcised that image from my memory.
Just his style I guess.
Blanda,
They've done that several time recently. He will motion out to an H back position and occasionally go out to the slot. But, you are right. It's worked well, so why not a few more times even if it's a fake. Give the defense somelthing else to think about.
NYRaider,
He was a 245 pound wide receiver at Washington. That's why he's caught a few deep this season.
H
"RT"...
Nice attempt....See how long it lasts...My personal forecast is NOT long at all....It is what it is!!!....
Re: Football which is what I usually post about and NEVER adversely about posters personal lives outside of football savvy....
This week doesn't look good...I suspect a set-back just when we are poised for opportunity with "KC" about to flounder....Unless the coaches can come up with another great gameplan that limits the adverse effects of having "JustCrap" at "QB"....
He already had his "A" game in very limited passing service....I'm not a believer that he will be consistent enough to put that performance back to back...The team played very aggressive football with a high level of emotion against "SD"....Can they duplicate that in back to back games....
Those are two legitimate reasons for concerns this week...
On the positive side which there always is one:
Chaz has returned....Zack -n- Murphy are getting healthy....The targets are there if the "QB" makes the plays....Their "D" is weak against the pass and average against the run....
The "D" is fired-up because our "DT" Henderson and "OLB" Whimbley are X-Jags who have an attitude to deliver....Our "D" on paper is better than their "OL" and we share the lead in Sacks...Their passing game is almost as weak as ours but that's into the teeth of our "D"...
PantyRaider....It Will Boil Down To The Play Of "JustCrap"....Does He Throw Us Under The Bus Or Drive It Down The Field!!!!/_
Note:
If "JustCrap" loses control of another game this season we are prolley never going to recover....
If this is the result this week with only 3 games left how do we survive...
"KC"........8-n-5
"SD"........7-n-6
Raiders.....6-n-7
Denver......OUT....
Allot is on the line and how much can we depend upon "JustCrap" to get the job done...
I would have Kile ready to play...
I would take a very serious look at the "WildCat" as an alternative scheme if we flounder early...
I would send my "D" in all out pursuit at their "QB" who has shown some of the same deficiencies as "JustCrap"....
I would intimidate their "WR"s/"RB"s with the kind of hits we saw against "SD"....
I would do what ever is necessary to limit the adverse effects of being weak at the "QB" position in hopes we can pull this one out....
PantyRaider....Maybe I Will Be Surprised....Sure Hope So!!!!/_
PR, what I like about our chances is that the Jags have been through some really tough, emotional and close games the past several weeks. They might be due for a letdown. Let's hope so!
what figures to be a deliberate, conservative battle for first downs against teams with similar philosophies.
“Very, very, very methodical. They don’t take a lot of chances,” Cable said. “You’re going to see them be similar to us in that it’s run and it’s run and it’s run and it’s play action and dump this and screen this, very methodical.”
So stay in the gaps and don't let yourselves get snookered into vacating space to chase down decoys....
PantyRaider....This May prove To Be A Bitter BattleField!!!/_
"RT"....
Good point...They're on top of their division so prolley don't feel the pressure the way we do...Lose and they're still tied with Indy for 1st...
They are a -43 in net points so when they lose they lose big...
Meanwhile out in the "MuleValley" they continue to implode...
Broncos rookie CB Cox arrested in sexual-assault case
- Denver Broncos rookie cornerback Perrish Cox has been arrested for investigation of felony sexual assault, police said Friday.
Michelle Kivela, the public information officer for the city of Lone Tree, Colo., said Cox was arrested Thursday night following an investigation into an Oct. 28 incident and was transported to a nearby county jail.
Cox appeared Friday in Douglas County Court in nearby Castle Rock wearing a gray prison uniform. His feet were shackled and he was escorted by an armed sheriff's deputy.

PantyRaider...Too Much On The Line!!!/_
"SF" is 4-n-8 but still in the hunt for their division...
Sad...Really sad out West...
I see no reason why the Raiders can't win this week. They are so determined to reverse their east coast fortunes, they are setting their alarms for 5am to set their body clocks.
John Henderson is my x-factor. He will disrupt their line and cause problems for their run and pass offense.
This is a must win playoff game!
Blanda,
Agreed. The more we get Reece the ball, the better.
He can run in the open field like no other FB around today.
Another big key to beating Jax is, don't quit on the running attack.
Against SD, we were running the ball with success right from the start.
But againt Pitt, & Fish, they stopped it early, and we just gave it up.
Keep running against Jax. Sooner or later, the holes will open, and big gains will be there.
Raider00-n-"BR"
The one area where I could disagree is if we can use the big play to score early and take them out of their run game playing keep-up....But we may not be able to put up enough early points to accomplish that task...
If we slug it out with them they will be punishing our run "D" the same way we will be trying to punish theirs thinking eventually we will wear down and they will be able to make the big plays rushing or open up the passing yds....
We should have the advantage early against their predominately weak Pass "D"...If only we had a "QB" who could consistently get the ball down field on time -n- on target....But we don't....
So most likely we will be in a slug-fest to see who comes out on top....But maybe...Just maybe if they have their hands full dealing with our run than we could open up the playbook and go downtown....
PantyRaider....In A Slug-Fest Injuries Could Hurt Both Clubs In The End And Ruin Our Hopes Of Success Later!!!!/_
A very physical game makes you pay a price....Will that price be too high...
"Everyone please post one football-only comment and lets go from there."
Nothing would please me more than coming to Raider Take and us discussing Raider football!
It will be interesting to me to see how Kirk Morrison performs for JAX and Big John Henderson & Quinten Groves perform for us.
A motivated and healthy Big John could make a big impact in trying to contain MJD in the running game.

Pats’ Spikes suspended for rest of regular season
The NFL has suspended New England Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes(notes) four games without pay for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.
Spikes, the team’s second leading tackler, will miss the rest of the regular season, starting Sunday at the Chicago Bears. The rookie drafted in the second round from Florida will be eligible to rejoin the active roster after the finale at home against Miami, and would be eligible for the playoffs.
Shit...Why allow him back for the "PO"s....You can bet if this was our 2nd rd pick Houston he would be out into next season...
PantyRaider...."Patsy"s get Another Slap On The Wrist!!!!/_
The "Rat" is imploding in "DC"...
I like this and it's good reason that we didn't get that "QB"....Although he still was prolley better than "JustCrap"....
McNabb is not the leader they thought he'd be, not the worker they hoped he was, and clearly he is not the consistent playmaker they believed he'd be. McNabb is never going to be a 60-percent completion passer, or ever be consistent again -- period -- therefore he must have an outstanding supporting cast, something the Skins offense is lacking.
Now this evaluation of this weeks game:
. Are the Raiders the new kings of December? They have won four of their last five in December and have a huge game in Jacksonville this week. Can they shut down the run game of the Jags? Can the Jags shut down the Raiders' run game? This game might only take 2 hours to finish.
PantyRaider...Is There Still Hope!!!/_
Back during Shell I, the media says that Al Davis didn't like Terry Robiskie as the Raiders OC. If that was true, I part company with Al on that topic.
I remember one game, I can't remember the opponent, where the Raiders needed the win to secure a playoff spot against another playoff caliber team. Robiskie spent the entire week telling the press that we needed to be who we are and run the ball. He said he was very confident that the Raiders could roll all over the other team.
At game time, on the Raiders first possession, the other team stacked the box for the whole drive. Robiskie opened the game running nothing but pass plays designed to counter a stacked box, drove down the field and scored.
Maybe it's because Davis didn't like Marcus Allen and he felt Robiskie sided with Allen. In his book, Allen says that Robiskie (and Shell) would play him despite being told not to by Davis. In one account, Davis confronted Robiskie after playing Allen in a game, but backed off because Allen had scored twice to help the Raiders win.
Well, there's more than one side to any story, NY. But my point is that this would be a great time to pull that old strategy out of the closet.
