yeah looking over the dead groups you are in make me soooo agree with you (note of sarcasm). at least some are trying to remain active and duck and run.

we need to groom a QB behind Carson - and for the life of me I cannot see it in TP. Why are we wasting $$ on this guy in this role? He still resembles a TE more than a QB.
i was thinking the same thing after the second botched snap. just go for it already.
good post, and i wholeheartedly agree with it. Defense was a very positive sign for me. The Kelly benching - awesome. Everyone got that message. Get a flag, hit the bench. We were missing a lot on offense - but we did not do anything to hurt ourselves.
Hey, if SD could figure out where DMC was the score would have been a lot worse! If SD played to half of their potential they level us with our talent right now. They did not, we played up a level - and almost won the darn thing.
Face it - the salary cap hits we took when Big Mac started cleaning house has set us up for the FUTURE. Not this year. Let's all give him a chance to get this right.
good point about palmer and getting some chemistry with our WO's. coming in mid-year into a circus did not pan out there. if he could get the timing right with ford on the fly route.....hello big plays! good to see bush got his $$ after having that atrocious first year adn working thru it. forte better shut up about it tho. he is no AP and not getting those $$. mac...please field a competitive team. next year get more picks and stack us up for a long term run. cannot stay in cap he$$ forever.
I fall into this situation in my own hiring needs - have my mind set on someone and it takes the right candidate to alter that direction. In Mac's case - what I took out of it was that he came off as open minded and deliberate. Two traits as a Raider nut I am not altogether familiar with......
Talk about a hire coming out of no where. I guess until you actually get to know someone, never assume that Winston Moss (or someone else from GB) is coming to town. I respect the move from GM Mac - instead of going the retread hire which I am sooooo against. Who knows, Allen may be the next Spags or the next Schwartz. I am hoping for the latter and looking forward to a more disciplined hard hitting team. Lord knows we have the guys that fit the bill to knock in some teeth.
Hue needs to focus on being a coach and let someone else call the personnel shots.
Give him an incentive to be more involved in the GM role - like reduce the penalties by 33% and then we can talk. How can he be expected to police the overall team when no one on the field listens to him?
you had to remind me of the draft or the lack thereof......danka. maybe we can grab Spags when the Rams whack him next week plus add some help to the defense thru our 2 draft picks....
And SD is playing to keep Norv and that dumba@@ GM - we are trying to go through another game w/o significant injury.
As much as I want the PO - I am hesitant here. So many injuries. So many penalties and TO. Improve our draft position, get more line help and re-sign Bush and go after it again next year. The division is easily winnable if we work those 3 items. Too many stupid losses - Detroit, Buffalo, KS, and Denver at freakin home!!!!
Even at a cursory glance this blog could come off as a true fan venting about what could have been - looking deeper it comes off a well-put together synapsis of our season. Jason did do us in this year, and until the CP signing I think we would have brought him back....now we are stuck with that bad contract and no picks. As to McF - Bush is actually showing up as the better fit for us. Can he hit the home run every hand off? No, but you think McF can do that kind of damage b/t the tackles? Smash that line and win in the end.
All in all, a flat year off of last year's good feelings. No, we are not beating Detroit. We would if this was an away game - as sad as that sounds. All I want for Xmas is to beat up KC at the end.

Now there is a good line. It seems like the GB game took any air left in our sails completely out. They just whalloped us in the biggest way - turnovers and penalties. We beat them in yards, etc - but 5 TO!
Also.....what is with all the deleted comments? Might there be some Raider hating going on here? If so, kudos to the removals.

personally, i still hate them for that fat punk siragusa flopping on gannon back in the afc champ game. our best team outside of tuck rule
just improve the @#$^! defense. nice to see that the guys a pumped about getting going on that side of the ball.
