Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Ended up being a really nice day for the game out at Arrowhead in KC. About 1/3 of the crowd went home happy yesterday :)

Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Another nice win for the Raiders. Even though it was against a sub-par team, a win is a win and we'll take it.
Nice to see the penalties in-check. 2 for 20 yards. I'm glad the coach stuck w/ the running game for the entire game. McFadden really busted some good ones in the 2nd half. These guys really need to get a better blocking scheme going for McFadden. The zone blocking is not quite doing it right now (even though he got over a 100 yards it was late in the game when the Cheifs were already beat down and lets face it, they are'nt 1-6 because they can shut down the run, right Bronco's are looking strong though. It would be great to see a Raider/Bronco fight for the AFC West. |
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
I really didn't think they could be worse than last year .........
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Are'nt these guys supposed to be professionals? Cant they even run a route correctly? What a joke.
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
:< :< yep that's all I got ... I would say maybe it will look better next year but even that sounds hollow given our performance since 2002.
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Do we even have a draft in the first round in 2013? Hope that wasnt traded away as well.
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Nice job Ref's oh ya and thanks for the "inadvertant whistle" Lame!
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
So they pick up Flynn and deal Palmer to the Cardinals, maybe I will be pleasantly surprised for a change?
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Thank God. They are really stripping this team down. Looks like some good changes so far.
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
I'm looking forward to seeing Flynn play ball. I was hoping he'd win out in Seattle, but it was great to see Russell Wilson tear it up.
Shame Flynn will be playing for the Evil Empire, but what ya gonna do? I've been high on Flynn for 3 years now, I hope he pans out for you guys. :tu |
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
From Charlie Wilson's War:
In this village, a little boy is given a gift of a horse. The villagers all say, "Isn’t that fabulous? Isn’t that wonderful? What a wonderful gift." The Zen master says, "We’ll see." A couple years later the boy falls off the horse and breaks his leg. The villagers all say, "Isn’t that terrible? The horse is cursed! That’s horrible!" The Zen master says, "We’ll see." A few years later the country goes to war and the government conscripts all the males into the army, but the boy’s leg is so screwed up, he doesn’t have to go. The villagers all say, "Isn’t that fabulous? Isn’t that wonderful?" The Zen master says, "We’ll see." |

So would you say you've been, "Flynn' High", for the last few years? :r Well glad that Reggie is finally starting over with this team, 1/2 blowing it up every year for 10 yrs and adding very expensive pieces that don't perform just wasn't cutting it. |
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
My fav picture, you gotta admit scumdiego has hot cheerleaders. Friends company had an event there for the Raiders game and I ended up talking to those chicks for like 15 minutes, they were signing calendars, the guy behind me was *****ing because they were talking so much time talking to me and the blonde says, "He bought 10 calendars so we are talking to him, are you buying a calendar?" (for the record I didn't buy any calendar) haha

Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Hall of Fame talk running around, how is Plunk not in the hall, the only QB with 2 or more SuperBowl wins NOT in the hall, how about Ray Guy, the best punter get's the Ray Guy Trophy, yet Ray isn't in the hall ... asses.

Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Raiders looking good up and down the likes, Pryor looking good, I wonder if they told him NOT to run on a couple of those plays because he had a lot of green in front of him but threw instead.
Running game, TEs, Butler all looking good. "Reggie Smith played for San Fran a couple years ago, was out of football last year and is looking to make this team." In the old days talking about the Raiders "out of football last year" usually meant the player was doing time in jail for something. LOL |
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
I don't know that I am going to start getting my hopes up over the game on Friday, but it's a new season and here's to hoping that McFadden can play over half the games this year ....
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Glad to see they changed up the blocking to a Power Run sceme for McFadden.
Prior looked very good, although maybe that was just because he played the 2nd line guys from Dallas and Flyn had to go up against the 1st stringers? Pryor did look better though. The 3rd string guy looked good too, McGloin? Once again though, the Special teams on Kick offs and Punts looked horrible. I think Dallas started on the 30 (minimum) after just about every kick. Liked the look of the "D" too. Welcome back Woodson! |
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
The only thing about T.P. was on those two plays when he had nothing but 20 yards of green in front of him and he made bad passes both times, I was hoping they told him not to run ... but turns out he said he wanted to prove his passing has improved... DOH!
We aren't paying you to be manning we are paying you to be mike vick or rgIII ... RUN god damn it! LOL |

Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Looks like Pryor is going to be the starting QB and he keeps up what he's been doing in preseason that's fine with me, he's def winning the job. Flynn is the suck.
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
I am seeing the same thing. Hope this season will be good.
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Announced today Pryor will start Thursday against Seattle, Flynn has tendonitis (same as he had last season when he lost his starting job with Seahawks)
Pryor at least would add some excitement, he let them to what 20 points in one quarter after Flynn **** the bed against the Bears. |
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Drafted McFadden in my FFB league. Here's hoping ...
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Trust me we all have our fingers crossed too. :r
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
I give Pryor the nod too. He looks alot better than last year and he looks ALOT better that Flynn. Hopefully they can get this new blocking scheme going for McFadden. The Run has looked pretty weak so far, well except for Pryor
:r |
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
I think I am going to take the under on McFadden playing 6 games this year ... I am still thinking it would have been better to trade him away this year to make cap room while he still has some perceived value.
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Question: Are you guys happy with what the new management is doing and the steps they are taking to build this team?
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
That's exactly what they are doing...rebuilding this team. I believe they said that 60 of the 90 players were new this year. Talk about a rebuild. Yes, I think thats the right thing to do. Reggie wants to start form the ground up. We had alot of stagnate, money makers who were not performing but picking up a big check. Cut em loose and let them get a fresh start somewhere else. Get some young blood over here, guys that WANT to play. Hopefully McFadden can stay healthy and produce what we know he is capable of.
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
60/90 is a lot, and I know they dug themselves into a hole with CAP and draft picks but hopefully it truly is rebuilding and not this as I fear

Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
That's the media for ya. Mark Davis said, live on T.V. after his father died, that his first order if business was going to be to Hire a G.M. He addmitted that he wanted to get someone there that knows alot more than he does about running a football team. That is exactly what he did. I'm quite sure that Al was not much for "sharing" his thoughts on running the business (team) with his son. in fact Al made it pretty clear that he did not share much about the team with Mark at all.
Let Reggie do his job for a while. Lets see what he can do over the next few years. Cuz thats what it's gonna take...years possibly. |
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Time for some foooootball!
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Even though the team lost, Top Priority did well in his first start
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
I was pleasantly surprised that we were still in the game in the 4th quarter. Looks like we have a long way to go though.
|
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
With 26 new players on the roster and this being Pryors 2nd ever start, I was impressed. The O line and the Defensive secondary has a long way to go.
A missed 43 yard field goal (c'mon Jano) and 2 interceptions were are main downfalls. |

Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Matt Flynn makes JaMeatloaf Russell look like a healthy Cam Newton.
Shows you what 6,000,000 bucks gets you, a QB that sits in the pocket for 6 seconds and STILL gets sacked. |
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
Yup. Thats why Pryor was a good pick for Starting QB. Cuz our O-line is pretty weak rigth now. We needed a guy that can make plays with his legs not stand there and get crushed.
I keep telling everyone, no - no McFadden is the man, he is healthy, this is gonna be his year.... Out in the 1st quarter with a Hammi. Bogus. Then Reese goes down in the 1st quarter also...weak. That coulda, shoulda woulda been a win for us but we just cant stay healthy. Whats the deal w/ Janakowski this year? He's 5 for 8. |

I really am wishing we would have traded McFadden for something in the off season ... |
Re: Raiders Fans - Check in
McFumbles, McInjuryProne, McHammy, McUseless ... take your pic, the guy just either isn't durable or as soon as he has an owwie he's done for 1/2 a season, there's no way they sign him next year. I doubt we could get anything for him now, I'd sign him to the vet minimum next year and make him a slot receiver or something, never should have let Bush go. :(

He was getting slammed, and rightly so, on his facebook page. Every Raider fan is sick of his act.
Top google result for "Flynn Sucks" Matt Flynn Sucks Forum - Talk-Sports.com www.talk-sports.net/nfl/sucks.aspx/Matt_Flynn Discussion forum for Matt Flynn's anti-fans (Seattle Seahawks, NFL). Seems they already knew what we found out yesterday :r :r |

Perry there are actually backup QBs in the NFL that make MORE than that, well one anyway... just ask the Cowboys, granted now ours is 4th on a 3 man depth chart. They have ME penciled in right above Flynn:
1. Pryor 2. McGloin 3. Fat Jewish Guy 4. Flynn :p |
