RaiderNation,
Way too many blogs on this site, and even this group have been ridiciously negative about our beloved Raiders. Many people forget that while Al Davis is an old, senile, crazy dinosaur, the fact of the matter is that in his prime, he was a man that shook fear into the league, and put the Raiders on the map. He is in the NFL Hall of Fame, which stands for nothing now, I know. But we just can't forget what he did for this organization, and we have to think to thank him from time to time, even if he does sign potted plants to multi-million dollar contracts (thanks Ram!). And Kiffin? He has some potential as a coach at the NFL level...I just know it. Under the right circumstances, this coaching staff can be very productive. We have a great stable of running backs, a quarterback fit for the Raider style and future, and we have a maturing defense (well it took a step backward with the maturing part by signing Hall but you know what I mean.) I know it is hard. But let us remember the days when the Raiders were the big bad boys on the block, and how they humiliated many a team in the playoffs and Super Bowl. Remember the AFC West 3-peats, the Rich Gannon times, the F*** rule, (I meant tuck rule which should have been a fumble, so therefore it is a good memory), and just remember to stay strong. We are RaiderNation!
Just Win Baby!!,

I remember Anthony. We have had some excellent seasons - just none lately. The fall since the super bowl has made for a long 4 years. But just as I have with every new season, I've got excitement and hope for good things to come!

Report Offensive CommentWe're on the right track to becoming the most feared team in the NFL once again. Al Davis will not allow the Raiders to stay trapped in their own black hole forever. I still remember how great it felt when Jon Gruden made us the most feared team in the NFL and then after being dealt away how much it hurt when he faced us in the Superbowl the following year and really embarrassed the RaiderNation worse than ever by sinking us into our own blackhole and I can sense the Great Escape coming...

Report Offensive CommentThe only way the Raiders will escape Davis' black hole is for Davis to remove himself from any kind of authority. There needs to be a power structure change from top to bottom.
