Go away. Your team has hardly been relevant the last 15 years. I would hardly call playing the Seahawks, rams, and cards twice a year and still being anonymous something to talk crap about.. You’ve been a nothing fan for the past few years with the occassional Michael Crabtree apologist appearance. So you have one division title during that stretch.. Good luck losing to GB or NO or even the Giants with your game manager QB.. Then I’m going to dump on you, but you’ll be missing from PFT unless there is a Raider article.. GFY troll

How hilarious was it to see the thousands of Oakland bandwagoners leaving their stadium with time still on the clock?

Talk all the smack about SD’s empty trophy case and their own fairweathet fans, but know this (joetoronto), your raiduhs were denied the playoffs by the Chargers. Ha!

Hopefully Mark Davis and Amy Trask are up to the challenge going forward.

The “let’s win one for Al” attitude is all fine and good, but for 2012 (and beyond) in order for this team to get better than 8-8 and return to past glory you simply can’t trade Al Davis’ level of control with Hue Jackson’s desire to run everything (which Coach Jackson had after Al Davis’ death and again claimed he wanted in the post game press conference yesterday).

Bring in a top flight GM, hire a good Defensive Coordinator, and start gutting the roster. The peices are there, but the organization can’t be run like it was under Al Davis.

Let’s be honest the ONLY reason Chuck Bresnahan was brought in again was because he was the only D Coord who would let Al Davis pick his defensive players and tell him how to run the defense (Remember when Chuck Pango said HECK NO when asked if he wanted to leave the Ravens to be the Raiders D Coord).

That kind of micromanagement (either by Al Davis or Coach Jackson) has no place in the NFL anymore. The game did pass Al Davis by in that respect. Reference all the years of horrible defense performances while stubbornly sticking to the belief you could play man on man, 4-3 vanilla-like defense ONLY and just assume your players could beat the other team’s one on one consistantly.

You can’t reward the fans committment to sellout the stadium on a consistant basis this year with the level of performace you saw yesterday. It is obvious that there are several players on the roster that don’t have the “eternal burning desire to win” and are just there merely to earn a paycheck. That type of attitude needs to be purged from the organization.

REST IN PEACE AL DAVIS, LONG LIVE THE RAIDERS!

Now they have very little to work with in the draft, very little money to spend in FA, and a horrid coaching staff. Throw in a green owner and a FO with no one to lead it, and you get the new Raiders.

try 6-0 there super dooocher…faiders suck!!!!! and are not in the playoffs…. again

We’ve had all we can take of the delusional Jokeland fans. Season. Over. Bye bye. No need to analyze any longer. But don’t forget the great Jokeland war cry….. just wait ’til next year!!! Or maybe next decade. Whatever.

that pretty much tells you the level of play and ability the team had prior to the deals.

upgrades have to occur, including changing the culture – a expert GM has to come in and maybe just add a DC

you saw what Wade Phillips did for the Texans. They may actually not be as far away from a deep run in playoffs, should they get DMC back healthy.

embarrassing…humilitating. Every team lost, and it was wide open.

Hue Jack City gets a pass, but a GM has to come in and fix this mess, without draft picks..no less.

Sincerely,

Tom Cable

Some good stuff from Steve Corkran on Coach Jackson’s post game comments on http://www.insidebayarea.com/raiders

What? No chiefs articles to troll around right now? You were strangely absent when the chiefs got destroyed for four straight games.. Not lost.. DESTROYED.

So your excuse is that the chiefs “were injured this year” but fail to overlook all the Raiders injuries as an excuse.. Typical.

The “joke of a franchise” has more playoff wins, division titles, and superbowl appearances this decade than the Chiefs.. And they finished with a better record this year with more injuries than you used as an excuse.. Typical ignorant hater

Agreed on the “Killer Instinct” and Coach Jackson said as much during his post game press conference.

I am disappointed that Hue wasn’t able to instill that “Killer Instinct” down the stretch though. Sounds like he was in over his head trying to do it all this year (Head Coach/GM/Playcaller).

Really bothered me when Gannon said during the game today that Palmer told him that he and Coach Jackson didn’t spent much time going over film…Sounds like they weren’t on the same page (and it showed on the field A LOT).

I know Coach Saunders’ playbook is a monster, but Hue needs to step back from the offense, focus on being the head coach, and let Saunders and Palmer work one on one and develop the game plans for next year.

If the Raiders make the AFC championship next year we still send a 1st to Cin

It’s nice to see a Raider employee or player here on PFT. I can only assume you are by saying “we.”

Hue Jackson has obviously been over his head in the personnel department, but trading for Aaron Curry was a major coupe for him for a 7th round pick next season and a conditional 5th round pick in ’13. A GM will be be brought in to make all the personnel decisions and and a defensive coordinator will have free run of his defense, something no defensive coordinator had until Bresnahan had this season when Al passed away.

No matter how you look at the Raiders, they are going to become a modern run team with men hired to do their jobs w/o micromanagement. Al Davis’s brother has probably lost his job as the person who calls in the draft picks to the commissioner at the NFL draft.
