A 41-14 blow-out at home in the opener, the Lane Kiffin firing and the recent news regarding veterans that may be on the way out has highlighted a first half that has Raider fans losing [...]
As the Raiders stagger into midseason with another 2-6 record, there isn’t the kind of intrigue present in past seasons because they were kind enough to put everything on display on Sept. 30.
That was the day Al Davis put the head of Lane “Lance” Kiffin on a stake in public square and spent more than [...]
This weekend, JaMarcus Russell and the Oakland Raiders (2-5) face another team having a surprising season – led by a young quarterback – as Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons (4-3) fly into McAfee Coliseum for their 12th all time meeting.

LiveAdam and I started comparing notes last night, so I figured that we should start a thread for all of us that saw New Orleans last night or that want to look up stats to help form the perfect game plan for Sunday’s game.
