Not a big fan of stats but we're certainly far enough into the season that there may be something meaningful.

On paper, the Raiders have done well to run the ball and sack the QB.

On the other side, the Packers are the #1 scoring team in the NFL, and they have the most INTs. Apparently, they have an opportunistic defense and an offense that makes good on those opportunities.

Gameday!

Go Raiders!!

"OTB"...

"RedFlag"!!!

I Challenge that penalty!!!

It very well applies to football ever sense the damn "Mediot"s and religious fanatics and the freakin NFL went on a "God Saves Tebow" campaign...It just goes to illustrate the inherent ignorance of people who believe in such outright stupidity and than go about pimping it!!...

For these fools to believe that a Lunar Eclipse is somehow wielding some magical mystical powers over their trivial freakin lives is the exact same type of ignorance that make one believe the Gods are watching football and choosing the winner by blessing Tebow!!!

Same-Same whether it be from the west or the far east...Same damn religious ignorance!!!

This Marks The Begaing Of The End!!!

A total lunar eclipse took place on June 15, 2011. It was the first of two such eclipses in 2011. The second will occur on December 10, 2011.

Oh!!…My Gods!!…It’s the whole freakin 2011 football season from training camps til the present!!!…Pack your bags the Rapture approaches...LoL!!!

Well Call Out The Gods And Begin The Celebrations....

2011-12-10T06:04:22.531-08:00

Well Call Out The Gods And Begin The Celebrations...The Earth Is Turned Upside Down!!

At least that’s the reality if your in Asia at the moment as a Lunar Eclipse is awakening all the would be prophets and fortellers of fortune!!…Beat the drums and the dish pans to warrant off the evil spirits These fools really believe this holy crap!!!

Well maybe there will be some trickle down effect into Sunday as those who were on top slide to the bottom???..Or so we can all hope but stay away from those Football Prayers because “T-Bowne” has that all wrapped up with the gods so no one else can be heard!!!

Holy Eclipse BatMan!!!…Lunar Darkness!!!

2011-12-09T22:23:38.290-08:00

"OTB"...

Rodgers is what he is...Damn good and prolley too much for out "D" to handle...Our "O" has to win this one for us with only half their roster healthy...

I don't have a problem posting I wish we had Elway back when or Moon...Quality players are quality players but some are just not welcome in the Raider Nation...Like Brady after that "Tuck" rule and now "T-Bowne" after all this "BS" religious crap!!!...

Is there any Raider fan who wouldn't like to have Rodgers in "S&B"???...

Aside from that why would any of us pimp another team from the AFCW???...But it has been done here and done repeatedly while bashing our Raiders...Now in retrospect that Pimping is rather foolish!!!

"Polio -n- Haily will dominate the Raiders"!!!...Ya Right!!!

"McDaniels will lead that "Donkey" to the promised land"!!!...LoL...Now that was stupidity!!

"SD" will do anything other than fall off the cliff...Who'da thunk??

So now it's how the gods are blessing "T-Bone" while leading that "Donkey" to the promised land...

PantyRaider....Just more tripe!!!/_

OK, I am still leaning into seeing the Oaks beating Cheeze and making history and pissing off the entire NFL by racking up touchdowns and penalties, I'll call it necessary roughness. We'll see what happens, and I will not throw props if Aaron Rodgers does what he's capable of. It's just not proper here. It's like talking about scurvy on a pirate ship... sheesh you guys are sensitive... KaPow!

2011-12-09T13:37:48.028-08:00

Last week, and here on out, is why it was so important for the Raiders to win. We CANNOT take any team for granted, and that is what we did against Miami.
If we lose to Green Bay, and the Donkeys win against Chicago; that will knock us out of the playoffs. We have to win out and root for the Donkeys to lose 2. We cannot end the season tied with the Donkeys. They will most likely lose to New England, but we will have to root for Buffalo (on a slide), and KC (on a slide) to beat them to keep our playoff hopes alive.

2011-12-09T11:54:04.240-08:00

Gary - I hope you're right, but I see the Bears as totally imploding since Cutler went down while the Broncos are riding a wave of sustained success. Two teams going in exact opposite directions.

Plus, I don't have the Bears stats handy, but I seem to remember reading their run defense as being suspect. Tebow could get 20-25 carries in an option offense that the Bears have not seen.

Put it this way, I'd rather the Raiders were playing Da Bears as opposed to the Packers this week.

On a side note, I refuse to spend $250 for a single share of the Packer's fake stock!

Well it's Friday and time for some inspiration...

2011-12-09T11:29:39.105-08:00

Well it's Friday and time for some inspirational hope because there's not much out there unless of course your a "T-Bowne" like "OTB"!!!

Once your foots been in your mouth it doesn't matter how man times you spit your breath still smells like old rotten socks!!...Arrrrgh!!

So where would we get our inspiration when "T-Bowne" has the heavens all rapped up and the favor of the gods??

“I know he’s having a tough day, but the thing about him, he’s tough,” Jackson said. “He’s got his brothers here to lean on. The whole team, we’re going to wrap our arms around him, and take care of him, and love on him and get him to where he needs to be while he helps us attain our goal which is winning a football game.”

I remember and I believe!!...

It was Houston and a potential loss against a superior team in there house where we had never won...Not even beating them in our own...It was also right after the loss of Mr Davis and this team was INSPIRED to "V"!!...Can they now get behind "CJ" as another inspirational advantage as he plays his heart out in the midst of all the pains of his loss???

WE all saw what happened in Miami after a week of disgust centering on "DeathRo" and how this team played with disgust that Sunday....Can they come out and play with heart this week feeding upon the commitment of a "CB" who has lost so much but still willing to give his all for his team??...

Let's freakin hope so because if not I hate to think about this off season and all the crying that will be echoing threw the Raider Nation!!!

PantyRaider...Please "CJ" Bring It Home Baby!!!/_

Big Ben is one of the giants that needs to be out of our way. Bratty Brady might have a nervous breakdown anyway. I like our chances mo-betta now, because one thing Palmer has bigtime is: composure... hmmmm.

I reject your reality and think the Chicago defense will destroy Tebow.

They win 9-3.

If not for the miracle catch at halftime KC could have easily lost that game... and I assert Denvers offense is as bad as KCs right now.

They are 25th and 27th in the league.

I think that this will be the week that Denver gets knocked back into reality. Go Bears... I think the Raiders have the talent... but not the discipline... to keep the Cheese at bay... Go Raiders... Score big and penalize all day. Chiefs and Bolts all bit dead... important game because of the Fins game. Pirate nose smells wild cards roasing on an open fire.

2011-12-08T10:33:51.939-08:00

Da Bears are in balls to the wall, playoff survivor mode and their D is tailor made to contain Te-Blow. I expect a low scoring defensive struggle.

Da Bears 16
Donkeys 10

2011-12-08T09:52:55.938-08:00

Hard to deny Tebow has the Broncos playing like contenders for the AFCW. I think this week they play the Bears, who only scored 3 on the Chiefs.

Anyone who thinks the rejuvenated Broncos can't handle the Bears needs a reality check. If the Raiders drop a tough game against the Pack, we could easily be in the hole by one full game with three to play.

It's crunch time!

Arrrgh!

OTB's getting a bit of Raider Take hazing treatment here, but he seems to have a jaunty enough personality to handle it.
