I never ever recall the raiders ever saying they were dirty players. I know the haters, and the media have been saying that kind of jealous stuff for years. All Iever remember the raiders ever saying is we were going to kick your ….we are tougher, bigger, stronger, faster, better etc…..but never heard any of them ever say they were dirty

If someone says something about you then you’re doing it right? So then by that logic you are agreeing to being dirty because that’s what hali accused you of

Cracks me up how guys make ridiculous statements about how irrelevant this team is, but anything with the Raiders attached to it results in a ton of comments. For a team nobody cares about there sure are a lot of strong opinions out there. Love ‘em or hate ‘em the Raiders are a cornerstone of professional football, and all of sports for that matter.

I watch every minute of every Raider game. They play hard and are not dirty in any way. Back in the 60′s and 70′s they played hard and dirty, so I suppose some people never forget.

The refs and he NFL have had in for the Raiders for a long time so I don’t think it matters one way or the other. You could call a penalty on every play in football so its been a know fact for many years that a little bird in the sky tells the refs to call evrything actually evrything against the Oakland Raiders and it really just makes the league look stupid to even bring it up. The tuck play is a prime example and yet the same similar play happened in the Jet patriot game. Ball was knocked out as he was attempting in the final motion to get rid of the ball. If walt colman is calling that game or even better if it was Brady involved instead, it would have been called an incomplete pass. Case closed.

Zone blocking can be a devastating weapon for a team, as long as it’s done correctly. McFadden isn’t going to waste b/c of the scheme; the Raiders’ OLinemen just aren’t executing it the way it should be. I guarantee you, if the OLine was doing their job and McFadden could stay healthy, he’d be leading the NFL in rushing.

RAIDERLYFE SAYS….

Darren McFadden can be a devestating weapon for a team if he’s implemented in a power running game. His strength is his intial explosion or burst, as soon as he gets the ball he should be going upfield not horizontal.

Plus we don’t have the Atheltic O Linemen to run ZBS. Our O Line was the strength of the team by mauling D Linemen last year. Even when we had the O Linemen to run that scheme in 2008 and 2009 D Mac still couldnt get off. By 2009 the Raiders were playing him at wide out trying figure out ways to use him.

@westcoastraider,

If the Raiders were as defensive as you, they might stop someone.

Totally clean hit on Gabbert last week… It was just a bad coincidence that he got injured and the Raiders came back from being down 2 touchdowns… Oh wait… It was on an offsides play. Good, clean win Raiders :/

The Jags already surpassed what was expected of them by winning a single game.

Be happy, Jags fan.

Doesn’t matter if we’re dirty or clean. We’re 2-4 and are letting the most dangerous RB in the league go to waste for the sake of the Zone Blocking Scheme.

We should only care what the Refs think and unfortunately they still think it’s 1972.

There’s only two people in the NFL that can stop McFadden….

1. Greg Knapp
2. Tom Cable

The league has a fictitious attitude towards safety. Look just at this weeks comments by players; (1) jets going off on the fins, (2) Vikes saying the ‘got their brains beat in’ (3) even Tags was noted for cash for bash. (4) Add on top of S. Fujita’s comments towards Goodell.

Now I love the hitting but the pretentious attitude the league has is complete baloney.

One of the dirtiest teams ever were the Niners during the Walsh/Montana years. They got away with a lot because they were the NFLs “darling” team during that time period.
