The Raider nation has been waiting for 5+ LONG years to have a moment to rally around.
Jerry Porter’s catch on a snowy day in Denver and Nnamdi taking Ben Roethlesberger from end zone to end zone are two ONLY two Game stopping, jaw dropping, rally crying plays that I can recall in this long spell of futility.

Bill Callahan slipped quietly into town, functioning for the New York Jets much as he did from 1998 through 2001 as an assistant coach for the Raiders.
Callahan was Jon Gruden’s right-hand man in Oakland, brought along first as offensive coordinator/tight ends coach and then coaching the offensive line when Keith Rowen (now in the Raiders [...]

This has been a tumultuous offseason for the Raider Nation. First there was the ongoing saga of whether or not Al Davis and Lane Kiffin were playing a game of dare to see whether Kiffin would quit, be fired, or coach for the 2008 season.
