Missed opportunity leaves door open for Raiders

Despite having several explosive plays, the Dallas Cowboys lead the Oakland Raiders by only ten points in the first half, 10-0.

Most recently, Cowboys kicker Nick Folk clanged the ball off the upright from 49 yards, preventing the home team from extending its lead to 13. 

Last week, the Bengals took a 14-0 lead over the Raiders, but Cincy allowed the Raiders to work their way back into the game -- and eventually to steal a victory.

    No it doesn't. Watching this game is akin to having to listen to my Aunt game plan Black Friday shopping strategy over the stuffing and gravy this afternoon.

    Maybe the powers that be at the NFL could actually do football fans a favor one of these years and schedule, you know, interesting games.

    Oh well, seeing that Time Warner Cable sucks homeless man ass and won't give us NFLN, I'll look forward to Texas bitch-slapping Texas A&M tonight.

    HEY NFL: GIVE US SOME GAMES THAT ARE WORTH A SHIT!!!!!

    Thanks for the update Florio. Heck, I'll turn the game off of the friggin TV and sit around and wait for you to bring me up to speed from time to time when you feel like it. What a tremendous public service you're providing with updates like these.

    Florio = my hero

    The thing about the wind is that it blows almost as hard as the Raiduhs.

    That was three hours of my life I'll never have back. They were truly painful to watch. I can't imagine what true Raider fans must be going through.

    Ahh, just look at this first half thread, when Florio was younger and reveling in his dreams of a Dallas loss.

    Some dreams, like cockroaches, die when the lights come on.

    cockroaches die when the lights come on?

    Chunky, aren't you late for your MENSA meeting?

  10. chunky soupy sales says: November 26, 2009 10:16 PM

    They die when they get stomped like Florio's dreams.
    Can't stomp em in the dark, can ya?

    MENSA is for idiots.

    Only thing it leaves the door open is ... for Cable's departure.

    Al has to do it right this time, bring a GM in , and hit the re-set button - you have the talent, now its time to assemble it and direct it with football people, not coordinators and well-meaned, patient, but "in over their head" employees.
