so Artrell Hawkins straight up ASKS Richard Seymour, “Are you going to make the playoffs?” Seymour says “Yes” and everyone bashes it.
May I ask you all one question?
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT HIM TO SAY?

That’s a pretty bold prediction.
Especially since this season’s playoffs don’t start until 2010.
So presumably Seymour is postulating some theory involving quantum physics and time travel back to the playoffs in 2009 and alternate universes in which Al Davis can pick a competent coach.

Where is that punk Jevon Walker these days?
–
Cable threw him out there, hoping he’s make a catch or throw a block or run back to the huddle like he was getting another chance, in the vain hope some desperate team would offer a goat and a 7th round pick for him.
As for Seymour, get off him. Confidence counts, and somebody on that teams need to talk.

One game at a time fellas. Our offense has to keep movin the ball for us to have any chance at winning consistently. Jamarcus needs to keep playing with the passion he had last week. We’ve had alot of success against the jets. This could be huge if we can win this game Sunday going into San Diego with a 2 game win streak.

Manhandling King Dunlap and whatever 2nd and 3rd stringers the eagles had left doesn’t make you a contender.

I swear, the average age of people here has to be 12, what a joke. Seymour was asked “will the Raiders make the playoffs?”
What the hell do you expect him to say?
Wake up, kids.

Seymour must know something we don’t …
1. JaMarcus is being benched
2. Al Davis is no longer calling the shots on defense.

Not as long as JaMarcus Russell is the starting qb. The guy is dumber than dirt.

titanstrides,
I did not click the link, so you might very well be right that Seymour did not say that. Don’t be so quick to bailout Florio though.
From Florio’s article:
“You can mark it down,” Seymour said. “The Raiders will be in the playoffs in 2009.”

Playoffs in 2009 so that NE can have the #1 overall pick in 2010

i’m not sure what the hell this means? by the way the pick was for the 2011 draft.
—————————————————–
Bear with me and I will explain it………..if the Raiders finish 1st in the AFC West…they will play a FIRST PLACE Schedule next year…which usually is much more difficult than a 3rd or 4th place schedule. Thus….a much better chance of having a poorer record and a higher draft pick in 2011 fior New England

Those who are criticizing Seymour…….enough already. He has brought a positive attitude and great play to the Raiders. He has solidified their defense. If the Raiders can get ANYTHING from their offense…they at least have a chance in the AFC West or maybe to squeak in as a wild card. Yeah..it’s still a longshot…….but having a positive attitude and spreading that to your teammates is not abad thing and doesnt deserve criticism.

“First off, JaMarcus is still developing, (I’m not prepared to call him a bust yet, but there need to be positive steps).”
Can you believe an idiot put this sentence together with no spelling errors? INCREDIBLE!

Seymour Butts has been dabbling in toxic pez.
Next time the Raiders make the playoffs is when they are the “L.A. Raiders,” playing at the new stadium.
This franchise in Oakland is being run into the ground for a reason.

I like Seymour a lot, but I have to disagree with him here.
First off, JaMarcus is still developing, (I’m not prepared to call him a bust yet, but there need to be positive steps).
Our receiving corps is terrible right now, with all rookie starters (Schilens is coming back soon hopefully).
Our run defense still sucks.

Kiss Bills Rings,
Roger agree with you about the coaching …2002 was probably the last, best chance of Al doing business HIS WAY.
It would have been interesting if he had hired Belichick instead of Gruden, but the end result would have most likely been the same:
Probably a few great years followed by being fired/let go for being percieved as replacing Al Davis as the most important person in the organization.

The Raiders are as talented as every other team. The talent gap is so small in the NFL all 32 teams are very close. So even though Peyton is worlds better than Russle Nnamdi is light years better than probably 60 of the 64 other starting corners. The reason the Raiders suck is where they are talented you can have a good defense and a solid running game but if your QB isn’t even up to Trent Dilfer status than it’s going to be tough to win games. Of Russle can become Dilfer or Shuan Hill or Kyle Orton (yes he is a game manager) than the Raiders have an decent chance to sneak into the wild card. The problem is they are going to have to beat at least one team like Baltimore or Pittsburgh so they have a tie breaker over someone. And when you beat the Eagles it’s a little harder to get the jump on those type of teams.

he could be confident without making outlandish claims.
9 times out of 10, players that make these kind of claims are underachievers… as are the teams they’re on.

” But stranger things have happened. The Arizona Cardinals went to the superbowl last year”
Their run will give hope to marginal franchises for decades to come.
