Priesttj,
If you are out there, I was thinking about what you said the other day, that if it were up to fans like me Madden would never have made it as our HC because he was like Cable and didn’t have much of a resume before he was hired. Hope I got that right…
Anyhow, well, maybe that would have been a good thing? I have read that maybe the Raiders win several more SBs if we had good coach back in the late 60s and the 70s….
How many times did Madden’s teams choke in the big games?
I wasn’t alive to witness it, but I am interested in your take on that opinion I read.
Or anyone else’s for that matter…how many SBs would those super talented teams have won with a better head coach? Or was Madden really that great?
August 24th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
Why did it take almost 30 years for Madden to get into the HOF?

Only three teams have scored more points in the SB then the Oakland Raiders
Thats the last numbers in the standing
Points scored then points scored against
Only six teams have been to as many SB as the Raiders
If you go to one a decade that puts you in the upper echelon?
It aint as easy as saying hire a decent coach.
Just ask Daniel Snyder or JJ or thrityone other teams

congrats on finding something new to post 24/7 all season long
You are getting better, however I am still not convinced that its you.

August 24th, 2010 at 3:05 pm
Dakota,
Damn. That kinda talk is almost blasphemous in these parts, isnt it?
btw, sorry I know you’re post was directed at TJ, but I wanted to throw my two cents in.
That’s a tough call. Should that team full of hall of famers won more than one VLB. Probably.
Madden doesn’t have to apologize to anybody, IMO. He won 100 games in 10 years and had his team in the Champ game damn near every year. He was the perfect coach for that band of renegades from everything I’ve read.
Remember, he had to compete in a loaded AFC vs some of the greatest teams in league history..Knoll’s Steelers and Shula’s Dolphins.
He was also victimized by some of the most controversial calls in history..Immaculate rec. and Lytle fumble call, amongst others.
Probably could’ve and should’ve won more, but who’s to say.
BTW, How’s Red Dead. It looks sweet. Torn between buying it or new Madden. Always buy Madden the day it comes out, but I’ve wanted Red Dead, too. Can’t afford both. lol.

August 24th, 2010 at 3:15 pm
Buckeye,
Thanks for you opinion. I just wasn’t around to witness those events. To me Madden is great because he took us to a SB and won….I have seen the bad calls and BS his team’s suffered through, but unless you lived to witness it, it just can’t be as meaningful, if you know what I mean?
I just found it interesting that there is a line of thinking out there that believes we would have won multiple SBs during that time had Al Davis hired a better HC.
Not my opinion, just something I read.
Red Dead was fun…I highly suggest it. Gets a little repetitive, and I strongly suggest taking your time and going for many of the side quests before playing the main story line through…savor it.
Doesn’t compare to Fallout 3 for flexibility and influence your choices and action have on the game, but it is still a good RPG.
Can’t wait for Fallout New Vegas…Oct 16th!

The Cowboys have had “far more success” in the modern League? Whaaa??? They’ve been in how many Super Bowls THIS decade?
……………..
You brought up Jones firing Landry to justify Davis firing Gruden. Jones won a Super Bowl within 3 years of firing Landry. Al Davis had one good year post Gruden, got his ass kicked in the Super Bowl, by Gruden, coincidentally, and hasn’t won more than 5 games in a season since. That’s why your comparison to the Cowboys is just ridiculous.
August 24th, 2010 at 3:27 pm
Plunketthead,
I didn’t want you to think I was trying to get in the last word!
I don’t know that I have toned it down…I still get under plenty of people’s skin.
Maybe I have toned it down, when I first got in here I felt i had to defend everything I said…I don’t feel that way anymore. I still love to argue with people, and this blog provides pleanty of opportunities for that, and we get some leeway with topics ranging from football to politics to history and usually back to football. I just use this site as entertainment between clients, and for getting my Al Davis/Raiders’ frustrations out so that I don’t throw anything through the TV when the Raiders are losing.
In the end this is nothing more than a sounding board for our opinions, and I fell that almost all of us (even MaddenRaider) are just Raiders fans expressing our emotions about the team the best we can.

The Cowboys have fared much better than the Raiders as of recent. The Raiders aren’t even in the Cowboys’ league. The Cowboys are a competitive team, year after year. The Raiders are not, year after year.

Jeez Jerry….
Missing work with a sprained ankle? Broken finger I could understand, since you do make your living with those. What? couldn’t talk Herrera into letting you use Al’s golf cart…
Not calling you a sissy, but I’ve still built houses and buildings over the years with, a broken wrist, a sprained knee, numerous stitches, herniated discs (L3,L4,L5.) after two weeks I finally had to see a Doc. on that, ended up having surgery and off for a year… The only time I had to leave work early, was the day I jammmed two knuckles thru the palm of my hand… that one hurt…

Your statement is irrelevant. All teams have down times, including such vaunted franchises as the New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys. In fact, the Oakland Raiders have been to a Super Bowl more recently than your beloved Cowboy team.

KoolKell,
I respect the fact that you aren’t big Al Davis fan, but you really ought to stick to the facts.
Al Davis has said on many occasions that Tom Flores should be in the Hall of Fame, and has used the example of him being the only two-time winning coach not in there.
The reason Tom Flores isn’t in the Hall of Fame is not because “Al Davis hogs all the credit”, and you’ve been following the Raiders long enough to know that.

Irrelevant statement. Or if that is relevant, Why don’t we go back and talk about how badly the NY Yankees sucked before Babe Ruth got there in the beginning of the last century, or how badly the cowboys sucked early in their existence.

He asked him about having like nine different OC’s in college and the pros. JC responded by saying how much he likes Hue Jackson and this offense and the things it can do. Eisen responded with a smart alecky comment about “someone else in the org., maybe a little higher up the flow chart, that has his own ideas how things should go, as oppoosed to the OC.”
Kinda parroting what Sapp said about AD overruling the DC’s gameplan on Fri. before the game. That sorta thing.
Then his next question is about Haynesworth. Go figure.
August 24th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
Kell, I still think the Niners are cursed for leaving Rocklin. Their first year there was 1981, the first year they won the Super Bowl. 1997 was their last year there, and 2 years after that, Young gets injured and the Niners are never the same again. Practicing in that scorching heat for a few weeks then going down the cool bay area was the perfect system for them.
August 24th, 2010 at 4:59 pm

August 24th, 2010 at 5:19 pm
One of the nice things I’ve noticed through two preseason games is how much better the Raiders coverage units look. Both kickoff and punt.
Special teams is 1/3 of the game. While the Raiders Punter and kicker are amongst the best, if not the best, their coverage units have really slipped in the last year or two.
So far, they have looked much improved. A lot of fast,young defenders flyin down the field and thumpin people. I like it.
August 24th, 2010 at 5:24 pm
And that Swayze Waters kid has been pretty damn impressive. On both punts and kicking. Like I said, Jano and Lechler are both at or near the top.
When Oakland waives this kid, I bet there are 3 or 4 teams waiting to sign him. Wonder if they could trade him for an extra late rd pick. Seriously. Seems several teams go through multiple kickers a year, trying to find a good one.

He only won the one Super Bowl but was up against the Steel Curtain at the peak of its powers. His play off record was 9-7.
Add that to the fact the A hole writers who vote have a well stated hatred of the Raiders and were jealous of Madden’s massive sucess and you get a guy with one of the best win loss coaching records of all time (112-39-7) taking 30 yrs to get in.

Al Davis has made some mistakes, and admitted as much. Bad 7 year run, but it’s over and we are back to being competitive.
That is what you want to see, right?
Do you give Al Davis credit for any of the apparent turn around?

Watching Cowboys-Chargers. Chargers look pretty good on offense, even though Rivers just threw an INT. Their o-line looks quick and agressive. Sproles is still a pain in the neck to anyone trying to defend against him in the open field. Their secondary looks slow, however they are getting good push on the Cowboys’ o-line.
Obviously, pressure on Rivers and containing Sproles is going to be the key. Matthews will get some yards, but Sproles can break your back on those second and third-and-longs.

So after reading the raidernationstation artcile on todays camp it looks like Dhb and Mcfadden are both on the field and that DHB is looking like he was when camp started….I really hope this kid can catch some balls against the Whiners..

Our answer for the Chargers ????
BEAST front 4!
Houston-Seymour-Kelly-ShoNasty = a lot of 3rd and longs.
Wimbley and Scott at DE on those 3rd and longs = a lot of pressure. Not to mention Seymour and Kelly in the middle. Those front 4s are going to cause problems and create turnovers!

81. Awwww! KK got his feelers hurt!
Pizz on it KK, try not to worry too much what some blogger says.
……….
Is it that you’re incapable of distinguishing someone pointing out a blatant double standard from someone having their feelings hurt, or is that you don’t want to?

Unkool kell never fails us.
He and MR are the first to snitch and then tell us how righteous they are for doing it.
Actually KK does not do that, but the other half of the terrible half sure does.
You would think meltdown isspends lots of time in court

We do not need Gaither, his injured back, or his bad attitude.
If he is not good enough or wanted by Baltimore, why would we want him?
Same with anyone else’s hot garbage!

Nice observations Teach,#89
My Gawd Rivers is a mouthy punk. But he is a helluva QB. And Sproles is a menace in the open field. They are still gonna be a tough out. But I do think they are starting to slip back to the pack a little though. Especially with the Jackson and McNeil situation. Hopefully their window is starting to close.
The Raiders are gaining on them. They gave them a pretty good physical, beating last year. Probably should’ve beat em.
Sooner, rather than later, there is going to be a changing of the guard. The universe will be restored to it’s rightful order, and the Silver and Black will regain their iron grip on the AFC West.

But when the Raiders are losing, it’s everybody else’s fault.

Nonsense!
Al Davis has made some mistakes, and admitted as much.
……………….
What has he admitted?
He’s admitted to minor things that really aren’t the reason we’ve been losing.
Has he ever admitted blowing it with Gruden, big time?
Has he admitted to blowing it with Marcus Allen, who turned out to not only be the best 3rd down back in football after Al got rid of him, but one of the best 3rd down backs in the history of the game?
Al admits to little things, or he doesn’t specifically point out what he’s to blame for, giving the impression that others are at fault as well as him.
Al has never truly humbled himself and taken the bucks for some of the major blunders that helped result in the disaster he watches over now.

I sure wouldnt mind Patrick Crayton joining the team.
August 24th, 2010 at 5:51 pm
Thanks for the post …good stuff. Crossing my fingers for a good showing from DHB on the field, in a game.
FB is definitely a major issue. Daniels doesn’t get it; Lawton is no good and will get cut just like Daniels. Reese may make the squad and be the guy. Suffice to say, they definitely need another Oren O’Neil.

What do you mean Baltimore doesn’t want him? It’s not like they cut him. He’s still their starting RT, and by far their most consistent lineman. Has been for a few years now. But they have the depth to replace him, and he won’t be able to play for the first couple weeks of the season, which should drive his price down to a later-round pick.
He’s a vast improvement over Langston Walker, who after 8 years in the league still hasn’t mastered the fine art of not jumping the snap count and putting his team in a hole.
The Raiders are in desperate need of help at the tackle position since the backups, Barnes and Pears, have the same problem Walker does.
Gaither’s back injury isn’t severe. He’ll be healthy soon enough to help the Raiders. His bad attitude is likely just because he wants a contract extension, which a new team will give him.
August 24th, 2010 at 5:58 pm
I’d be happy with Tony Richardson and Marcel Reece at FB. Hopefully the Jets come through on that one…

will the raiders look for another wideout through a trade or free agency now that chaz is hurt again?
