I’m guessing EskinSux always posts in the nude. And types with one hand. Behave yourself, you little Cutler.

Step your game up!, Florio.

It dont matter that DHB is in the Bay Area. His agent is going to make sure that his deal is better than Crabtree’s. DHB can make it rain in Al Davis’s office. But until Crabtree signs dont expect DHB to be dropping, I mean catching, any balls in training camp. Get with the program you big dummy.

I’d love to see the pats steal another player from Al Davis for a 3rd round pick

Over under is 5.5 for Raider season wins. You got jobbed. But your bias is intact, if not your wallet. Great job being a fan of the game.

Hayward-Bey isn’t a “key” player. Most first year wideouts don’t do much.

This is the part that cracks me up.
“two key players”
Wasn’t every writer including you Florio saying what a reach it was taking DHB at #7 and now all of the sudden he is a “KEY” player.

Hey patssb44chump, we know you’ll be on your knees, but for different reasons.

Burgess had what (?) 4 sacks last year. He also had that “mysterious” arm injury that kept him out of 8 or so games? Yet, all he has done is cry about the contract that HE signed. He should just play. If anything, he OWES Oakland a refund.
He is about the last of the ingrates left on the squad. We should trade him to the Bengals.

If Burgess is looking for a “big payday”, he’ll have better luck finding it in the candy aisle of the Stop ‘n’ Go than with the Pats, so that trade seems unlikely.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say that the AFC West is a joke. Probably none of the teams are gonna post big win totals this season since their out-of-division schedule is against the NFC East and AFC North. SD has strong personnel but will likely under-perform again with Turner as coach. Denver, IMHO, is most likely to surprise, but only insofar as they edge past SD for the division title (and maybe win a wildcard game). KC still has a lot of work to do – they’re making progress but .500 is probably a real stretch.
IIRC, the over/under on Raider wins is, like, four. I took the under. But, hey! I still play the Powerball every so often, y’know. Anything’s possible.

Two other notes: WR Arman Shields (failed physical )and QB Danny Southwick were waived and Andrew Walter only has about another 48 hours before he gets sent packing..

If I were them, I would be on my knees begging to be traded out of that prison.

Theyre better off keeping Burgess this season and letting him contribute with 10+ sacks as a 3rd down specialist. He’s in a contract year, so he’s gonna remain healthy enough to stay on the field. The AFC West is a joke, so if a lot of things bounce the Raiders way they can win the division with a 9-7 kind of record.

Who needs them anyway.. Trade Burgess for a 3rd round pick to the Pats..
DHB probably isn’t gonna make an impact right away anyways.. Besides Louis Murhy signed, so he is gonna get some extra working-time..
(Both Murphy and Slade Norris signed, according to raiderbeat)

Cable said in his press conference that DHB is in the Bay area and hopefully will be signed and ready to go for Thursday’s practice. Why no mention of that in your little summary, Florio??? Ah, wait… I know why. The same reason you wont post this message.
And as for Burgess – well, he’s got to shutup and play. He wants his big payday. Be a man and play out your contract Burgess. You missed most of last season anyway, so I figure you owe the team as it is.
