The Raiders are contenders. No other way to spin it.
Have writing assignment for Sunday papers, I’ll check in later with post-game wrap.

It’s amazing what a little blitzing and good pressure up front can do for you huh?
October 31st, 2010 at 4:32 pm
This was a beat down! The kids have finally arrived, and made things happen. We do this next week to the Chefs, we’ll take this division! Go Raiders!

That game HAS to sellout after these last 2 weeks, 4-4, vs. div leading chefs… come on this is the biggest game since 2002!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:32 pm
DHB had a breakout performance!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:33 pm
9-7 or 10-6 ??
October 31st, 2010 at 4:33 pm
Great win, only thing that makes it better is Nnamdi having a quick recovery
October 31st, 2010 at 4:33 pm
Hell the Raiders may be favored next week.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:34 pm
The Raiders are putting it to AFC opponents. Bring On KC!
The Fear is Near!!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:35 pm
HueJack is the man. He’s gonna get some HC looks this offseason.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:35 pm

October 31st, 2010 at 4:36 pm
KC was lucky today. they have a solid D tho. their passing game is weak… Nmandi may be able to get the week off.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:36 pm
How many sacks didwe have OFFICIALLY. Announcers said 9 the scroll said 7.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:37 pm
Aqib Talib should start getting votes as top corner in football. The guy is a badass!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:37 pm
The Raiders are doing it in Raider Football style. Are they reading this blog? Out-standing play in all facets of the game. ShoNasty was! Give him a game ball!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:37 pm
Wow…..you guys are going to see this Lagarette Blount run tonight on top plays.
Damn is all I can say.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:37 pm
SD looked pretty good against Titans. would have liked to see them lose…
October 31st, 2010 at 4:39 pm
I live in Cyprus so for me it’s kinda impossible but i’m holding that banner high some 5000 miles away or so
October 31st, 2010 at 4:39 pm
Meant to say kinda impossible to be there
October 31st, 2010 at 4:39 pm
Huge win for the NATION

back 2 back wins, and not just any wins, BEAT downs!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:45 pm
Stevie Brown won this game for us…… wait, did he even play?…lol
October 31st, 2010 at 4:46 pm
It’s good to see DHB is a viable option out there. That Rd. 1 DHB and Rd. 2 MM pick look a little better right now.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:46 pm
We are at .500. Could have easily been 6-2… I like what’s happening here. DHB is stilla work inprogress but dang i like the kids fire. Still would rather have him than the diva Across the bay. I actually wish we had them both…
October 31st, 2010 at 4:47 pm
yea, MM is looking pretty solid this past couple weeks.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:47 pm

Recovered that onside kick. Also played FS after Huff moved to CB when Nnamdi got hurt.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:48 pm
Raiders win BIG but LOSE Nnamdi…

KC will be a tougher opponent I think, but we can win. Like I’ve been saying…. 5-4 at the bye!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:48 pm
49rs may not be toast yet. Long way to go.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Mitchell played a hell of a game. I’m beginning to think those reports about the coaches wanting to cut him were leaked by the Raiders to light a fire under his ass.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:49 pm
total domination. congrats on all dhb and jc supporters! congrats to the nation we rocked today!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:49 pm
OK, I couldn’t tell ’cause I was watching on my computer and it was freezing up and blurry. But see? HE won it for us….lol
October 31st, 2010 at 4:50 pm
Going to be a long fight home for the Broncos… Hehehe…
October 31st, 2010 at 4:50 pm
Nnam, looked like bad sprain, with ice, he’ll be playing next week.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:51 pm
#46-who gives a sh!t.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:52 pm
I think Nmandi gets this week off… back after the bye with everyone else hopefully.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:53 pm
DHB is coming on strong. 5 catches for 105! A long catch & run, just wait until he really figures out how to play! Some fools in here want to get rid of him. He will be the best receiver on this team.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:53 pm
Pitos
October 31st, 2010 at 4:53 pm
Miller was injured for most of the game. He was listed as questionable wasn’t he?
October 31st, 2010 at 4:53 pm
ALright, going out for dinner with the fam and then trick or treating. Good night ya’ll enjoy it, and Happy Halloween! A true Raider Holiday today!
5-4 at the bye!
Vote YES ON PROP 19!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:54 pm
545 total yards, yep, us! Go Raiders!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:54 pm
I’m jumping on the Marcel Reece bandwagon
October 31st, 2010 at 4:55 pm
#46 this is a raiders blog.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:55 pm
I’ve been on board with Reece from day one…
October 31st, 2010 at 4:56 pm
BEY BREAKS OUT!!! Awesome…
October 31st, 2010 at 4:56 pm
Dinner and drinks! Go Raiders!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:56 pm
Reese is a great weapon to have. especially since we have very little production from our wr’s…
October 31st, 2010 at 4:57 pm
300 yds, 2 td and another huge win. Campbell serving you haters like a waiter. He did it all short pass, long ball , scramble, audible, he is on fire. Dont look now but Mr. Davis may have done it again. Just call me negrodamaus!

Raiders are . . .
Enjoying back-to-back 500 yard games
3-1 at home
2-0 in the division
4-4 overall
But stats are for losers.
A great day, Nation! I feel good! Admittedly, part of that is the alcohol. But the win is the biggest part! A HUGE win.
Peace out, brothers! Back to my gumbo duties!!!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:58 pm
Great day to be a raider fan. Ok blog peeps we are always down on this team. But know We all know why were fans of this team. Memo to the league WERE BACK ! Haters welcome. Haha raider nation lives.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:59 pm
It’s so sweet to have a game in week nine that means something. Beat KC and I’ll be bouncing off the walls!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:59 pm
YOU ARE BORN WITH A PATCH OUT OF THE WOMB…….YOU GO INTO THE GROUND WITH A PATCH!!! IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO BECAUSE IT TAKES 53……NO MORE RIDICULE…AS WE ARE THE NATION……..THE RAIDER NATION!!!!! AND THE N A T I O N BELIEVES……..
October 31st, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Can we start giving Cable his props yet?
October 31st, 2010 at 5:01 pm
Does Ryan have a longer hang time than Lechler? Seattle was always in NMiller’s face before the ball gets there.
October 31st, 2010 at 5:02 pm
Nnam, Bey did a super fake out, broke for his first TD! Beautiful! Go Raiders!
October 31st, 2010 at 5:02 pm
You can go ahead and give me props now:
Raider Ray Says:
October 28th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
DHB is getting better. He just needs one breakout game to get his confidence up. I think this week is that game. He must take advantage of being the #1 guy. He will have 7 catches for 105 yrds and 1 TD.
——————————–
Against Seahawks:
Darrius Heyward-Bey 5 catches 105 yrds 1 TD
October 31st, 2010 at 5:04 pm
8Raider, did you see Cable on the field? Oops, yep, he went out for the handshake…..
October 31st, 2010 at 5:05 pm
WTG, Raider Ray!!!!!!!
October 31st, 2010 at 5:05 pm
I am a golden god. I predicted Campbell’s win over the Chargers and DHB’s performance today. You all better start respecting me.

October 31st, 2010 at 5:07 pm
We can lay he gradkowski clamor to rest once and for. He is a good back up for us and thats it. We know who the qb is Jason Campbell
October 31st, 2010 at 5:07 pm
“The Raiders are contenders.” You’re fn right we are. The raiders ar back, and we don’t just beat teams @&$, we “beats” teams @$& with an added s at the end. Where’s “The Real Major hater” now??? Thats right, keep your under cover charger lovin @&& off our blog! Go raiders!!!
October 31st, 2010 at 5:08 pm

Way to go Raiders! Next up, Kansas City. Kill ‘em all!!!

————————————————
As I pledged earlier this week, I’ll eat my words if the team wins 10 games. There are few haters on here, only disappointed and frustrated fans. As for “Mr. Davis,” he set a pretty high bar for success didn’t he? Two wins, however impressive, do not equal two Super Bowl victories. Moreover, the old fart still has put fans through seven years of misery and nothing any of the uncritical fans say erases that reality. Or maybe it’s been just a “phase.”
October 31st, 2010 at 5:09 pm
Feels great to be relevant at mid-point!!! After the last 7 seasons, all I can ask for as a fan is to play through a whole season where every game matters. It is starting to get exciting again…Kudos to the Cable man! Hope Namdi is ok
October 31st, 2010 at 5:09 pm
Kinda funny when you think about it: If this was days of old, it would be win #3 over the AFC West.
October 31st, 2010 at 5:09 pm
Campbell has earned the starting job back. He hung in the pocket, made tough throws, got the ball to his WRs, managed the game brilliantly. He’s starting to come around. And with two consecutive seasons in the same offensive system? Who knows what he’s capable of…
I’m sure he’ll still have a rough game here and there, but that’s where the running game can pick up the slack. When JC is on, you can’t argue with the results.
October 31st, 2010 at 5:10 pm
I notice a lot of the posters who do nothing but come on here and biotch and moan and hate on all the players are absent today.Good riddance.
October 31st, 2010 at 5:10 pm
Just wait until next year when jc has 1 year in the system, he is the truth. Wait til we have a real o- line. DHB is electric, we dont need no stinkin t.o
October 31st, 2010 at 5:10 pm
MR will say: “The Raiders beat up on a weak team, big deal. They may win 7 games if they get some breaks.”
October 31st, 2010 at 5:11 pm
THE RAIDERS HAVE HAD THE 2 GREATEST PUNTERS IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL. NOT EVEN DEBATIBLE. LECHLER OUT KICKS THE COVERAGE……..
October 31st, 2010 at 5:12 pm
Al Davis knows how to find great punters, corner backs, and tight ends.
October 31st, 2010 at 5:13 pm
Veeeerry nice showing by the coaches and players today!
Nice TEAM effort to win that 2 in a row in DOMINATING fashion again by the Raiders. Nice to see them coming together as a freakin TEAM!
O-Line and and DLine did exactly what they needed to do today and DOMINATE the opposing teams lines and they didn’t lay an egg! 8 SACKS today by the defense…..luv it!
Even DHB got in the act and caught his 1st TD pass today and Campbell didn’t screw it up!
Now they have to stay focused, STUDY the KC Queefs game films and execute a creative gameplan to catch them off balance next week.
They will need to put consistent pressure on Cassel, especially now that it seems Nnamdi will be out versus the queefs!

October 31st, 2010 at 5:14 pm
Dmac is incredible to have that kind of game against a solid run d, and to do it as a complimentary player today, very unselfish.
October 31st, 2010 at 5:15 pm
I am almost cried a tear of joy when FOX put the 5 offensive lineman’s pictures on the screen and displayed below their pictures the number of yards rushing and only 2 sacks allowed.
Defensive Line brutalized the Seahawks…..McClain and the backers got after it. The man 2 man held up the whole game.
October 31st, 2010 at 5:16 pm
It is time to give props to the Dlline.Since Veldheer took over for henderson the line has done an outstanding job.
October 31st, 2010 at 5:16 pm
Did that bobble to Bush for 50+ hot DHB or Condo in the chest?
October 31st, 2010 at 5:16 pm

October 31st, 2010 at 5:18 pm
All Ive ever wanted was to was for the Raiders to have possibilities at each position.
October 31st, 2010 at 5:19 pm
Bo,it hit DHB in his hands down near his ankles.It was actually a bad pass but it worked out so who cares.
October 31st, 2010 at 5:20 pm
Great to see this team growing up before our eyes, so many young guys stepping up…great to be in the mix for the division after 8 games, been way too long!
We’ve got to beat KC next week…
October 31st, 2010 at 5:20 pm
When this defense stuffs the run yhey dominate! Romac haters, where are you? MM 34 haters where are you. Press man haters Davis defense clowned you today!
October 31st, 2010 at 5:21 pm
I was in a sports bar watching this one…how many 40+ plays from scrimmage did this offense have today?
How many sacks? Good Lawd!
October 31st, 2010 at 5:22 pm
DHB became an NFL WR today
October 31st, 2010 at 5:23 pm
These were two of the most dominating performances i can remember back to back! Give this defense a lead and look out!
October 31st, 2010 at 5:23 pm
SnB, 545 yds, 8 sacks, good day, no?
October 31st, 2010 at 5:23 pm
If the o-line is looking better, who’s shouldnwe give credit to?

October 31st, 2010 at 5:24 pm
I think getting Veldheer in there to stabalize the left side both pass and run blocking has been the difference.
No clear body shots to the QBs blind side….time for plays to develop….
October 31st, 2010 at 5:25 pm
Davis doesnt know talent?!?!? Dont make me laugh! Our tripplets are absolute killers!

We are among the NFL leaders in sacks and our rushing Defense is vastly improved with a rookie MLB who has had some ups and downs.
Our D-line is at times one of the best in the league. Completely dominated a first place team today. ACtually not even dominated, humilated and embarassed them.
October 31st, 2010 at 5:29 pm
There was a team determination, patience when needed, and a cool head, by all members of this team again, the kids have come into their own, great feeling! Go Raiders!

Hu jack haters…. Silenced! This dude has truly put togethr a scheme that is tough to stop. 1100 yds 92 points in two weeks?!?!?! Mike Martz is calling for advice!
Veldeheer has been a major upgrade despite many imposter fans saying he couldnt play tackle! Next year we will be a contender to win it all!
October 31st, 2010 at 5:30 pm

Mistic,
What’s your constant beef with “imposter” fans and supposed “haters”?
When you constantly call Bruce Gradkowski nicknames other than his own name, you have no room to call anyone anything.
When I have criticized Campbell and at times Jackson, and I will admit probably a little premature, I called them nothing but their government names.
Time for you to grow up friend.

Wouldn’t have felt it necessary to score that last TD if Seattle hadn’t been Mr. Smarty Pants and spiled the shutout.
That’s what they get.
October 31st, 2010 at 5:38 pm
806TC we had a lot of campbell scrams that could have went to dmac who would block out but JC decided to either take a loss or 1 yard. just saw a lot of opps for yards…will take the dub for sure but just hoping in the future we take advantage of whats in front of us. easy for the fans to see but something that hopefully will be looked at in the film room
October 31st, 2010 at 5:39 pm

Hard to pick which was better; the offense or defense.
The score was a lot closer than the actual game.
October 31st, 2010 at 5:42 pm
the reason i’ll never win Pkings Si thing is cause i always pick the raiders to win and unless we have some kind of crazy pats run….i’m content with being the smartest IT guy who knows FB

“It was a lucky win against an imposter team. Nothing more”.

Mistic,
What’s your constant beef with “imposter” fans and supposed “haters”?
When you constantly call Bruce Gradkowski nicknames other than his own name, you have no room to call anyone anything.
When I have criticized Campbell and at times Jackson, and I will admit probably a little premature, I called them nothing but their government names.
Time for you to grow up friend.
———————————————–
Yeah, good point. Some douchebags don’t get that you can be critical of Davis and still love the team. And some think that these past two weeks eclipses the past seven years. Not quite yet, fellas, but let’s keep our fingers crossed.
October 31st, 2010 at 5:46 pm
As Hue Jackson is proving, I was saying all offseason that you can’t just have a one-dimensional FB, who is only going to run-block.
Defenses can key in on that, and you are totally tipping your hand.
Reece is so multi-faceted, he might be the hardest guy on offense to game-plan around. On top of all that, he seems legitimately interested in improving his blocking, so this guy can be REAAAAAAALY good if so.

Team can be pretty damn competitive when it gets EVERYONE involved in the game…hell they didn’t even use Zach Miller much in the passing game today.
This team is ready to compete….just hope that as far as preparation goes, they continue taking care of the details….
Next week is old-school AFL football!

October 31st, 2010 at 5:53 pm
Worried about Nnamdi, especially because he is one of the best corners in the game in run support.
The Chiefs run, and run often, and try to use misdirection and reverses and get on the edge.
Whoever replaces him next week (injury seemed like it will keep him out at least a week) better be ready to come up and help seal the edge.

Hopefully Chris Johnson will be back next week. He’ll have his hands full, as will Huff, Ware, and Brown.
Luckily, the Raider front seven has been doing a phenomenal job of setting the edge, and their gap discipline has been much improved. They’ll need to keep it up against a far superior running game than the ones they’ve seen the past two weeks.

Not very convinced with what I say from Ware out there today.
He was clearly out of his league at this stage in his career.
October 31st, 2010 at 6:03 pm
Mista, I noticed our fastest players on ST’s down the field were blocked outside today, had no effect in the plays, game film will point this out and it is corrected. They do have a good ST’s defence, we clogged the middle.

October 31st, 2010 at 6:06 pm
I thought that having him singled up on the outside was asking far too much of Ware, as well. He’s aggressive, which is nice, but he needs to have a better awareness of where the ball is.
I thought McFadden looked decent when he saw the field, but it seems as if the coaching staff wants to ease him back into the rotation after his hamstring injury.
Either way, I’m not too worried about it being Chris Johnson and Routt against the Chiefs next week. But if Nnamdi is still out when the Colts game comes around, it won’t be pretty.
October 31st, 2010 at 6:07 pm
Whatever Al’s been doing these last two weeks, he will continue to do. Whatever that is.
October 31st, 2010 at 6:08 pm
Say what you will but NMILER played and we won. When that kid plays we win. Maybe he’s just our little lucky charm.
ST blocking needs to improve. NMILLER had no opportunity for a run-back.
DHB is starting to show up. Just give him some time to mature and he may turn out well.

Are they a team that can compete for a playoff spot…based on the 1st half of the season I would say yes!

DHB dropped that 30 yard gimme in his gut but made up for it on his TD grab. He could’ve fallen after the first hit but plowed through.

Not a damn thing!!!!
I have no beef with any players, unless they aren’t producing. When JC, DHB and Hue weren’t producing, I wasn’t happy, because we weren’t winning.
You seem more happy with “winning” whatever it is in here, than when we won against St. Louis, when you spent all week blogging in all caps about how we should have lost.

I was at the game, it was nice to see the defense play so well, we should have won this game by much more imo. Too many field goals and missed opportunities in the red zone. U am glad we won don’t get me wrong! Big UPS to DHB! The turnout was weak, we need more people in the stands supporting these guys, if ur a so called real fan I expect u to be there next week, go Raiders!
October 31st, 2010 at 6:27 pm
I don’t know about the name teabag but I agree with you where football is concerned. Every time we go into that potential 3rd straight win, we always turn back into the old Raiders. We win next week, I promise I’m done talking s’t. I always said 3 straight wins.
October 31st, 2010 at 6:28 pm
I’d recommend we try not to trip over our own brass on the way to a 24-12 thumping of the Queefs.
Sound good?
October 31st, 2010 at 6:29 pm
Great game but I have to say….
The Zebras were terrible again, and I know we’re the Raiders and blah blah blah, but seriously…
The down by contact call on Stevie Brown was BS
The catch by Tate when he rolled his ankle wasn’t in, I was dying for Cable to throw the challenge flag, his second foot hit his rolled over foot…
But what gets me the most and is a constant annoyance is THE SPOTTING OF THE BALL
At the 12 min mark of the 4th qtr, on a seattle 3rd down, the ref is walking down the line (DOWN THE LINE) then makes a diangle bee line for the first down to mark the ball….
It looked like he was drunk, and did a sideways shuffle.
It’s constant, its blatant, and I hope someone in the front office ques up the film and mails it into the league. Week after week.
But Great game, total D dominance!

JC had a fantastic game today. 2 long throws to DHB and Nick Miller were on the money and those guys couldnt catch it. DHB’s hands were so far apart it was funny as he went up for the whiff. However, DHB earned credit for having a good day. I appreciated JC throwing his body on that reverse block.
The biggest kudos have to go to the Dline. They played lights out today and they’re playing “championship caliber” football. Next week is the ultimate test. Congrats to the Nation. 7 long years of misery is over!

The Raiders are sneaking up on some teams. But when a guy who loses 11 or more games for 7 years straight is till active in football operations, you have to be skeptical. 3 straight wins would be huge. But two straight blowout wins is pretty big in its own right. Not enough to solidify a “return to greatness”, so to speak, but enough to be hopeful. Need that 3rd straight win. Consider how debilitating it would be to the team to lose next week. It would just about negate these two wins. It would bring a since of “back to reality” to the locker room. Biggest Raider game in f’n years next week.
October 31st, 2010 at 6:42 pm
They’ve been blitzing effectively, too. Kamerion Wimbley is essentially an extra defensive end on some snaps. He helped collapse the pocket several times today.

I tell it like it is, 860. This is a football team that hasn’t won 3 straight in 7 years. So I’m supposed to just believe they’re going to do it this year? My mood is skeptical, but I recognize two straight blowouts. Hence my name. I predicted Seattle to win this game 28-27.

October 31st, 2010 at 6:52 pm
Veldheer has been the difference…in my opinion…for what its worth…
—————————————————-
Agreed!

SnB,
It’s good to be back huh? Man, 7 years of misery is over for me. I think the Dline is LEGIT. You win at the lines in this league. That stuff never changes.
October 31st, 2010 at 6:55 pm
Hopefully it’s not a high ankle sprain or an Achilles’s injury. If he just rolled it really badly, he might be back after the bye.
October 31st, 2010 at 6:56 pm
I agree on Veldheer too. I didnt believe in his blocking skills earlier this season but he has been very good the past 2 games except for those false starts.
October 31st, 2010 at 6:56 pm
And if karma is going to decide the Raiders’ fate next week, we’re really screwed.
October 31st, 2010 at 6:56 pm
Hue Jackson took the loss to SF badly, and he has unleashed a monster 2 weeks in a row! That loss to those losers was the beginning of something good! RRRRAAAAAIIIIIIIDDDDDDEEERRRRRRSSSSSSS!

Yes it is AIG! Yes it is! The O-Line and D-Line start playing and all of a sudden you start hearing player names we haven’t heard from in a while….
Hasselback just throwing balls up for grabs because he has no time to think…DMAC trashing the opponent…its all good!
How’s this. Oakland vs. Kansas City for 1st place….the world is right again!
October 31st, 2010 at 6:59 pm
I think Cable getting Veldheer in the game at C might have been a stroke of genius.
Found a way to get him on the field, really accelerated his understanding of defenses due to the demands of a C, and with the instant-ness of the C position, got him to just block dudes without thinking like you have to at LT.
Many mocked, but that thing looks like it is turning out in spades for Coach Cable.
October 31st, 2010 at 6:59 pm
Al, Grasshopper, learn from the aged, will take you far in life, Raiders win this weekend, preliminary karma reading is Raiders 31, Chefs 17, stay tuned for spiritual updates!
October 31st, 2010 at 7:01 pm
If Nnamdi plays next week after the way that foot looked on the replay, I would cut Schilens right after the first play from scrimmage.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:01 pm
If Al continues to stay out of the gameplan, they’ll win next week, Todd.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:01 pm
We’re playing dominant football. We have not been this dominant in the past 7 years. We were this dominant in 2002 but back then it was the Offense. Now the Defense is leading the way. I know you’re miserable so try not to bring me with you.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:02 pm
I would like to offer my apology to TC and AD. Al Davis, because he IS a good GM. ie M Reese, Miller, DHB, J Ford (esp. YAC, Just don’t throw a drilling pass btwn his numbers), Valdeer, L Houston, Ro McClain, OC Hue J, DO Marshall.
TC tenacity. Man does he make high risk calls (slant to Reese won this game)! But he has a great OC to dial up the right play.
I admit I was wrong. Great Job!!! Go Raiders!!!!
October 31st, 2010 at 7:05 pm
You can call me miserable, I can call you delusional, AIG. We can play this game all night. I’m just skeptical as long as Al’s in charge, that’s all. They’re playing NON Al Davis football right now, though, and that’s encouraging. Let’s hope they keep it up.

Aig, this is Raider football from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, this is a young team with a lot of talent, that’s starting to gel, and it’s getting exciting again, fan since 1964 and loving it! Go Raiders!
October 31st, 2010 at 7:07 pm
We might be just 4-4, but now winning 3 of 4 and doing it with such dominance and authority last 2 weeks you have to say they are the most dangerous team in the league RIGHT NOW.
Next week? Who knows, but RIGHT NOW it is what it is.
How good IS this team?
October 31st, 2010 at 7:08 pm
Bob Costas giving the Raiders some props.

RAiders ain’t sneaking up on anyone.
Nice Costas monologue about the old Raider vs. Chiefs days.
Could the Raiders game be the headline?
Ballin!

Djohn, just believe! Roll with it……
October 31st, 2010 at 7:10 pm
It’s really not solidified in my view until the team wins around 7 games. 6-10 just reeks of the bottom third. 7 at least puts you into that middle range. Huge springboard going into next year.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:11 pm
Raiders getting the attention of the national media at the midway point of the season. That is huge.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:12 pm
I’m not worried about the Chiefs. They don’t have Bernard Pollard anymore.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:12 pm
Al, 9/7 could win it, has been my guess,anything better is huge, keep the faith…….
October 31st, 2010 at 7:13 pm
According to the scroll on NFLN, Cable again reiterated that Bruce will be the starter when healthy.
I love my man Bruce, but I don’t know if I would go there right now, and rock the boat.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:15 pm
Any word on Nnamdi?
October 31st, 2010 at 7:15 pm
860,
I have been following since 83. This is a dominant D no doubt about it. It all starts with the line and AD finally struck gold with his pick of Shonasty. I have to get his jersey whenever it comes out. He’s my fav player on the line now.
This is championship caliber D we have out there. I mean they completely destroyed Denver and Seattle. I was very impressed with the D today. They rocked. I love a physical D and we owned them today.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Just goes to show what our D can do if the coaches ignore Al’s meddling and start being versatile with the schemes.

—————–
I agree 100%. I know I have been tough on him but you have to give credits when its due. The man played a very good game today. With the D playing so dominant it’s hard to completely judge the offense but JC made plays when the opportunity was there. You have to give him credit for that.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:17 pm
JFB,
Don’t fret. For all we know, Schilens may be healthy.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:18 pm
Winning 3 of last 4 with the last two being total blow-outs must really hurt some of you.It probably hurts even more because the players you hate so much are contributing.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:20 pm
Jfb,
im from east oakland, when someone swings at me we are going to fight. Its that simple. I joined the blog a couple of months ago, i said jc is better than scabs, i was callrd every name in the book. So now that my by is stomping the snot out if these jokers im going to let them have it, its the raider way. If its too rough for you, pack a fruit basket and skip over to sf, you can get into double dutch or something.

My hope is that this team IS that good and that they are becoming a team that opponets can scheme all day against and STILL not stop us.
That’s all I want.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:21 pm
JFB & AIG,
I’ll take the contrarian view on Cable’s comments. If Cable goes with Gradkowski after the last couple of games, then Gradkowski must be doing something much better than Campbell in practice or on film…..
I can’t believe that Davis or Cable would even begin to risk the good forture of this team with a QB move that would seem to be risky given the last few games.
Anyway, I say play the hot hand until its no longer hot.

————————–
I wouldn’t jump the gun yet. This is the same D that we were all complaining about earlier in the season. The fact is, they just defeated two teams who have no real running game. When they shut down Phillip Rivers or Chris Johnson, then we can call them a championship caliber defense. This weeks game against the Chiefs will give us a good indication how much the run D has improved. Charles is pretty damn good.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:22 pm
We have to be moving up the defensive rankings a bit I would think.
8 sacks today! That is sweet!
October 31st, 2010 at 7:25 pm
They said it best on NFL Playbook …
Gardowski believes in himself more than Campbell does.
BUT …..
The way the defense has played the last 2 weeks, Camplunkett’s “game managing” style can actually work for us.
If our defense falls off, Gardowski would probably be the better choice.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:30 pm
Aig, We have built a wave, small one no boubt, but the team believes it is capable of living up to its abilities. They have put it up on the field. This team believes it can win, won’t quit til it does, or goes down trying. That is called Heart! This team has finally found it’s Heart, and is eager to play each Sunday, and to play to win. This team is developing a swagger, each week a different faction steps up to make it happen, this team has changed. I’m not saying we cannot have a setback, but this team has had a turn around, now knows what it wants, playing as a team for 60 mins, this is great! This is Raider football, played our way, the Raider Way! There is no other way. The players are starting to believe in themselves, this turns the tide, we have the tallent, provided by AD, I thank him for this, let’s just stay healthy!
October 31st, 2010 at 7:31 pm
I can’t remember a more complete Raider win than this.
-Campbell-Over 300 yds passing and 2 TD’s
-DMAC-Over 100 yds. rushing 5.3 per carry
-DHB-Over 100 yds. receiving and a long TD.
-Defense-Getting turnovers. Holding Seattle to under 200 total yds. Shutting down running game. 8 freakin’ sacks?
Game wasn’t as close as the score indicated.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:39 pm
A.B. This is a ROOKIE playing defence, for the most part. Rookies make mistakes, usually 4 years of NFL to get up to speed, from collage. I like our D, they learn and burn every day!
October 31st, 2010 at 7:47 pm
For Raiders fans it’s a chance to have a bit of swagger ourselves after the way we just absolutely thumped Den. and Sea.
We have earned some RESPECT again. Yes and I say WE becuz any Raider fan who has stuck with it for the past seven yrs. is a part of it. We are the ones that have suffered the anguish, embarrassment, humiliation and all that stuff brings and now we are a legitimate player again.
No ones laughing at us right now.
November 1st, 2010 at 2:30 am
You must admit, I’m damn proud of the RAIDERS!!!!!!!
Whatever they are doing in the clubhouse, may it continue past the bye week and beyond. Stay TOGETHER as a team and continued success!! DC Raiderfan, I’m oooooouuuuuuttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!
