This has been a great year. Many streaks were broken. Things are looking up for next year!
how facken great was that win?3 n 0 in the west and after the donkeys beat the chefs this week. It will be our RAIDERS in 1st place all thanx 2 the great football played by Jacoby Ford n the rest of thee OAKLAND RAIDERS. Just keep on winning baby!!!
3-0 in the division, 1/2 game out of first... Go Raiders!!
where are all you raider nation brethren at? someone besides me has to be exited about how were playing this year. great win against the donkeys!!!!!!!!!
I know no one comes around here anymore, but I just have to say WHAT A WIN OVER DENVER!!! Woooooooo!
rumours are that cable is out..i think he should get another chance but without jamarcus
First time in a long time that I felt good after a loss. Defense looked great and the offense kept them off the field. If it weren't for the prevent at the end, we would have won.
Just signed Greg Ellis; oughta bring good veteran leadership on D.
Defense appeared to be improved and our running game reminded me of the days of Bo Jackson and Marcus Allen.
As bad as it was on monday, it only counts as 1 L. so lets watch our boys right the ship at K. C. this week and move 2 1 and 1. GO RAIDERs!!!
The play calling in the first half was horrible. How can you win running the ball every down?
And the defense - ugh. I hope this loss for our home opener brings about some serious change.
As of 8-15-08 I am now a new Dad and rarely have time to get online anymore. I hope we can get a new WR with Carter being out.
Tough losses with both O'Neal and Carter out for the season.
New year, New players, new hope 4 the RAIDER NATION 2 root 4 a winner in the 08 season.lets hope they can stay healthy, and that jevon walker decides 2 retire so that we can give all that money 2 someone worthy of it, GO RAIDERS!!!!!!
Yes I am still around. Hopefully I can keep this group active when the season starts...I'm gonna be a dad any day now.
Now he's got to earn a new contract. Jordan is finally gone.
We signed Asomugha for another year - yay!
Yes, Thugmeister. Best to think positive. It is done, so let's hope he lives up to the hype!
Not happy about the McFadden pick. Especially with Ellis, Dorsey and Gholsten available.
True Texas. Forgot about Carlisle. It's the UFA that gets me sometimes. At least we didn't give them anything! But I read somewhere he had 3 surgeries on his knee so the contract bothers me. He better produce.
last year he let Cooper Carlisle go and he improved our OLine. Shannahan knew Walker's knees were bad when he let him go, so that kind of worries me. I really hope Drew Carter becomes a big steal for us now.
Does anyone else find it odd that a trade would be made inter-division? I hope Walker pans out, but I would think Shanahan would sooner die before giving us someone that might improve our team.
The poll came up before we signed Kwame Harris and Javon Walker. I just hope Walker's knees hold up. I know that was the biggest reason Denver let him go. I'm happy to get a receiver that gives us a good chance to improve out passing game, but not too happy to get one that is high injury risk for as much as Al paid him...
my bad made the same comment twice.
RAIDRES4LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!
2 much $$$ 2 long a contract, but we now have our coveted deep threat. lets hope it pans out.
2 Much $$$$$$ 2 long a contract, we now have more of a deep threat then we've had in the past couple of years. lets hope it pans out.
Seems like a long and spendy contract to me Anthony.
was javon walker a good pick up for that type of money?
We re-signed Fargas! Woohooo!
It just goes to show ya,that you can "sellout" but it still doesn't guarantee ya a SB ring.Giants played a great game!
after the way he(moss) quit on us, it was poetic justice that he and the rest of the cheating patriots lose to a deserving giants team...
Was anybody just as excited as me to see Randy Moss and the Patriots Choke???

felix jones could be a real sleeper at running back
Another tough poll. We need both Chris and Jake. Not enough $$ for McFadden.
With the way we we're able 2 stay in games deep into the 4th,and not getting blown out week in week out.and winning 2 games in the division the positives are there 4 us 2 build on, the 'O'line needs re-tooling big time,if we can keep our key free agents, & sign some, the playoffs might not be 2 far off.
That's a tough poll Texas. I'm torn on that one. Sapp provides great leadership (except when drawing 3 consecutive unsportsmanlike penalties...) but he isn't what he used to be. Maybe he should take a pay cut and remain - but not as a starter.
will higgins and zack miller be huge next season or are we drafting receivers in the draft personally I like our receiving core may adding another veteran will do the trick what happened with T. Dwight and do you guys think it was right to give up on mike williams.
I think it's time to start J-Rock for the rest of the season.Anyone else have the same feelings?It's time to prepare for The Raiders Future,win or lose.....
Yikes...yet another that could have been won.All year this has been the case,with the Raiders not being able to "put them away"or "shut them down".At least i can say is,we are not getting blown out of games.
Anthony E.:Raider Fans are NATIONWIDE my friend!There are more than you can possibly imagine.They just need to outspoken,even when they are losing.J-Rock again will get some playtime this sunday.I hope he can put some drives together so he can stay in the game.Kiffen is teasing him and challenging him to do well.Gooo Raiders!!!!
Glad to find some proud Raider fans...they are a rarity on the East coast here. i would love to blog here if that isn't to much to ask.
With 5 games left,can our Raiders finish strong for a 500. winning percentage?I think it's possible,do you?GOOO RAIDERS!
At this point in the season(2&7) we need 2 see what Jamarcus can do. the 'O' Line needs 2 shape the f*&^k up,or no matter who we put in at QB it will be hard to succeed.F*ck TheRest, RAIDERS TILL I DIE!!!!!!!!
WOULD LOVE TO SEE RUSSEL START AND SHOW ALL THOSE JOE'S WE STILL GOT IT, BUT LET'S KEEP IT REAL. WITH 4 SACKS ADDED TO OUR OFFENSIVE LINE THAT WOULD MAKE IT A TOTAL OF 27 SACKS. WHAT THE **** IS THAT ABOUT, IT'S ABOUT THE STAT'S AND WHAT'S ON PAPER. IN REALITY TO PUT IN RUSSEL WOULD BE STUPIED, I WOULDN'T WANT HIM TO GO IN THERE AND BE A TARGET, THAT' WHAT WE HAVE CULLPEPPER FOR. WE NEED TO PLAY CULLPEPPER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, SO RUSSEL CAN SEE WHAT IS AHEAD OF HIMSELF. THEY PRACTICLY STAND THE SAME GIVE OR TAKE.
LET JAMARCUS PLAY! HE WILL NEED THE EXPERIENCE 4 NEXT YEAR, HE CANT POSSIBLY DO ANY WORSE THAN CULPPEPER & McCLOWN. HE MIGHT JUST BE THE DIFFERENCE IN THESE CLOSE GAMES WE KEEP LOSING DUE 2 BAD QB PLAY..
They need to play J-ROCK and let him get his feet wet!
FARGAS, WHO IS THIS GUY. RUNNING FOR MORE THAN 100 YARDS, 5.3 YARDS A CARRY. IT'S ABOUT TIME, AND I HOPE HE KEEPS IT UP, CAUSE HIS LAST FEW YEARS HAVEN'T BEEN THAT PROMISING. LOOKS LIKE McCOWN IS STARTING AGAIN, DON'T KNOW WHY BUT WE ARE IN NEED FOR A VICTORY. WE CAN BEAT THE BEARS NO DOUBT. TOUGH DEFENSE AND SHORT ROUTES WILL WIN THE GAME. BEARS DEFENSE ISN'T WHAT IT USE TO BE. JUST KEEP THEM KICKOFF'S AND PUNTS AWAY FROM HESTLER, CAUSE HE WILL TAKE IT TO THE HOUSE.LET'S KEEP THE BOOING TO A MINAMUM RAIDERNATION. SILVER & BLACK ALL DAY . TILL THE WHEELS FALL OFF.
After having lobbied 4 daunte at the beginning of the year, and having no confidence in McClown. I now think that it might be time 2 give our prized rookie QB a look. with the disappointing play of Culpepper and McClown not 2 mention the 'O' line. we need a shake up on O.
VERY DISGUSTED WITH THIS WEEKS LOSS. WE GOT CULPEPPER FOR A REASON, SO GIVE HIM A CHANCE. HOW CAN YOU BELIEVE IN SOMEBODY IF YOU DON'T LET THEM TRY. RUSSEL IS THE ANSWER AND TILL KIFLIN IS READY TO THROW HIM IN WE HAVE TO WAIT, AND GO THRU THIS MISERY. I STILL HAVE NOTHING BUT FAITH , BUT IT HURTS TO SEE THEM LOSS, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. OUR DEFENSE WAS ONE OF THE BEST AT ONE POINT.
RIDE OR DIE.TILL THE WHEELS FALL OFF (never)
SILVER & BLACK HAVE TO SHINE THIS WEEK, THERE IS NO WAY AROUND IT. WE ARE IN NEED FOR A VICTORY. SEEING RUSSEL WOULD BE SWEET, BUT TO SOON FOR
X-MAS. McCOWN IS THY PROBABLE STARTER FOR THIS WEEK, AS PART OF THAT BIG BAD **** RAIDERNATION I HAVE NOTHING BUT FAITH. **** A " CHEESEHEAD " AND THAT'S THAT.
Wiliams is out(finally) and Tim Dwight is in!He should be a good 3rd receiver for whoever is starting this weekend,Anything is better than Williams(he totally killed our chance to win the Titans game.
Again another disappointing week for The Raider Nation that could have been won.
AGAIN PackersLP21*: Leaving Oct. 31,Who cares!?!The Raider fans where the 1st to make up the "Nation" slogan years ago,who cares when a group on fannation was started,geesh.
THIS group was established 9/15. PackerNation was established before this.
Whats up Raider Nation? I am happy to join a club with the real raider fans are in effect not the ones who wear the colors and call themselves fans. I have been a loyal Raiders fan for over 15 years now and I amm excited what the future holds for J-russ and The Raaaaaddddaaaas.
PackersLP21*: John Stocco,Dude,Raider Nation has been around for years.They were the first to ones to come up with the slogan,who cares when someone made a copy of it here or anywhere else for that matter.This is NOT Packer group anyhow.
Nice name. You took it from the PackerNation. PackerNation was established 7/27, "RaiderNation" was established 9/15.
Rada's are going to "Air it out this Sunday"GOOO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jordan gets to get healthy and Rhodes gets to get back in the saddle.Bush gets activated and i'm sure is excited to get back to playin da game,
Daunte "OWNED" the fish.Keep the chip on the shoulder bud.GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great victory 4 our RAIDERS,Daunte showed why he deserves to be our starter till Jrock is ready. lets hope L.Jordans injury is not serious. And the one porter who came 2 play was wearing SILVER&BLACK.Run D needs to get better but all in all great team win. GO RAIDERS!!!!!
After That whooping,Who's Porter?
Porter's the new guy in Miami...He has obviously forgotten that he is not a Steeler anymore...
"Write it how you want to write it," Porter said. "We will win on Sunday."Miami's Joey Porter is guaranteeing a win!Daunte is gonna whop'em bad! GO RAIDERS!
scorned quarterbacks are 38-7 in games against their former teams over the past 12 seasons.HMMMMMMM!
I'm not sold yet on Culpepper...He didn't turn the ball over, but the offense still revolves around Jordan
There it is raider fans the 1st. win of the year. we tried to give it away, but made the play (the kick block )that we needed to win the game.if culppeper didn't make his statement today 4 the starting job, then i dont know what will.HE LED US TO THE WIN.(L. JORDAN, BALLER!!!!!!!)
http://www.fannation.com/groups/show/19687
If you hate the Broncos
If Mcown doesn't do well against Cleveland, then I'd start Culpepper against Miami and if he does better, then stick with him until Russell is ready
Am i the only one who feels it's time to let culppeper play? So we can maybe have some balance on offense.
Yeah raider fans lets get ready for the first "W" of the year. With the much improved play shown against the mules, on O & D we should be on our way to the first of at least 8 (crossingfingers),lets keep the faith,WEEK 3 RAIDERS WIN BABY!!!!
Right on Raider brother!Keep it updated.Member #2.GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!
I got tired of most of the Raider fan groups sleeping so I decided to start one myself. I promise to keep it active and running.
