The Oakland Raiders are at .500 for the first time since...a long time. I'm more excited about our teamt han I have been since the Super Bowl. If we can contain Tomlinson in two weeks just like everyone else has, then we are going to have loads if momentum. We actually have alot of momentum now, beating the Dolphins 35-17. We gained 299 rushing yards...only 29 attempts. Thats a 10.3 yard average. Which might be an NFL record. Culpepper threw 2 TDs on only 5 completeions out of 12.
It might be just me, but I think this is going to bo a long year for the Raiders opponents.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that our opassing defense is back on track, allowing only 158 yards, with two INTs. Our run defense, not as good, but it did as much as you can expcet against a great RB like Ronnie Brown.
Unfortuantly, LaMont Jordan went down with an injury, but Fargas stepped in valiantly, as he will be this weeks leading rusher, easily. Also, the loss of Jordan won't be as bad as some may think, because in our next game, Dominic Rhodes comes back from suspension.

The Oaklnad Raiders are Bringin' Back Da Nasty.

Hell yea baby!!! That was an awesome game, no doubt we are on track to be, at the minimum, 8-8. Right now I think we have a chance at taking it to everyone within our division. I honestly believe we can be division champs once again!!

Although our rund defense did hiccup, it still wasn't all that bad. Take away Brown's 60 yard dash and the man barely breaks 70 yards. That is still pretty good, however we need to step it up against LT.

I am extremely excited about this season! I know it is still early in the season but this is by far the best team we have had since the SB. They are fibnally playing like one cohesive unit on both sides of the ball.

This season will show all the naysayers we were serious about getting back to a contender team!

From the east to the west, **** the rest!! GO RAIDERS!!!

I believe we have what it takes. I've seen enough evidence that the chargers are now discharged to chargless after losin to KC. Denver is struggling now. If you look at out schedule and evaluate what our future opponents have done, Indianapolis is really the only tough opponent we have on schedule. I think we're evenly matched against the rest of them

Thug... we do have a shot at this,I only see Colts and GB at being a real challenge,but anything can happen by then.Colts are already "banged up" and players are falling out everywhere around the league.I predicted 8-8 at the beginning,but i think i have also underestimated like all the" so called" experts.I looking really good my Rada brotha's and The Raiders have plenty of depth in the majority of the positions.He's to a healthly year and a run for the playoffs!GO RAIDERS!
