Posted November 16, 2008 at 9:12 pmAnother week, another step closer to getting a high draft pick.
Is there any other way to look at this mess of a year?
I can’t stop thinking about the fact that we actually have more to work on this year then last year. Can anyone else remember when we were at LEAST in the top 5 [...]

Posted November 16, 2008 at 10:43 amNote: Didn’t make the Miami trip this week, so no live in-game blogs today. Will post a wrap-up following the game.

Posted November 9, 2008 at 6:46 pmWell, at least the Oakland Raiders (2-7) didn’t wait till the 3rd quarter to get their initial first down of the game against the Carolina Panthers (7-2). They got that out of the way in the 1st quarter on Sunday, but after that, they couldn’t do much of else.

Posted November 9, 2008 at 5:34 pmOAKLAND, CA - Today’s game against the visiting Carolina Panthers will be a monster of a test for the Oakland Raiders on many levels.
