Raiders hit the road, hope to hit back this time
By Steve Corkran
Thursday, October 11th, 2012 at 3:45 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders are one day away from boarding a plane for Atlanta in advance of their game against the Falcons on Sunday. This time, they are hopeful of faring better than they did the first two times they left the friendly confines of the Oakland Coliseum.
In the first road game, the Raiders led the Miami Dolphins 10-7 at halftime, only to watch the Dolphins outscore them 28-3 in the second half. The Denver Broncos scored all 27 points in the second half in turning a 10-6 lead into a rout.
“We have to do a better job coming out after halftime and establishing something, whether that be offense, defense or in the kicking game,” Raiders coach Dennis Allen said.
The biggest culprit is the way the Raiders performed on third-down plays in both games, Allen said.
“When you don’t get off the field on third down on defense, you play a lot of plays. When you play a lot of plays, you get tired, you get worn down. Then, offensively we’ve got to find ways in the second half to sustain drives and that will help our defense.”
Defensive tackle Richard Seymour said he wishes he had the answers as to why the Raiders played well in the first half of the team’s first two road games and so poorly in the second half.
“In the first half of games, we’ve definitely been right where we needed to be,” Seymour said. “It’s still a ball game. The second half, we haven’t come out and executed as well.”
The Raiders worked hard on finding out ways to carry the momentum from the first half of road games into the second half, Seymour said.
“If I knew all of it, I would definitely pass the word along to my teammates and we would get it done,” Seymour said. “That’s some of the things we’re working through at this point. As a player, you have to look yourself in the mirror, first and foremost, and say, ‘I have to do a better job,’ and everyone has to take that same approach.”
– Allen said he is hopeful of seeing defensive end Andre Carter make his Raiders deubt on Sunday. However, he isn’t certain if that’s going to happen just yet.
“He’s getting closer every day,” Allen said. “He’s had 2 ½ weeks of work getting back into football shape. (Wednesday) was the first time he actually practiced in pads. I’m getting more comfortable with where he’s at.”
Carter said he’s ready to roll. It says here, the Raiders use Carter sparingly, predominantly on third-down passing downs or obvious passing situations.
– Allen, defensive coordinator Jason Tarver and offensive coordinator Greg Knapp are fond of talking about the need for more explosive plays on offense and cutting down on the number of such plays defensively.
The so-called “explosive plays” are runs of 12 yards or longer and passes of 16 yards or longer.
Through four games, the Raiders defense allowed 34 explosive plays — 25 passes, 9 runs. Three in each category resulted in touchdowns.
The Raiders offense amassed 26 explosive plays during the same games — 22 passes, 4 runs. Two of those plays resulted in touchdowns, both on runs.
– Knapp said he is confident that the Raiders run game is on the verge of breaking out, and it has more to do with the way the players are looking in practice than the fact the Falcons allow an average of 5.4 yards rushing through five games.
Allen sounded just as confident, when asked a day earlier about the status of the run game.
“It’s more from our self-examination,” Knapp said. “We’ve done a good job of really diagnosing, OK, what are our strengths and weaknesses in the run game? What should we do more of in our strengths?
“And then having two weeks of practice, we had two good days during the bye week and the bonus day on Monday, of our line working together and really doing a fine job. So I’m excited. I’m looking forward to it to see the results of the good work that’s been put in.”
Right offensive tackle Willie Smith said he and his linemates are looking forward to an offense geared more toward the run.
“Any lineman, you would love to run the ball,” Smith said. “Definitely we should run the ball more. Hopefully we’ll do that. I don’t know what the game plan is, but just keep working and whatever they call be ready to go out and perform it.”
Running back Darren McFadden is champing at the bit hearing about the call for more runs from quarterback Carson Palmer.
“Oh, yeah, I’m always up for that,” McFadden said. “You want to put it in my hands more, I’m loving it. It’s something a running back likes — the more carries, the better the chances are of getting big runs.”
– Defensive tackle Tommy Kelly missed practice today with a foot injury he suffered in practice a day earlier. Allen doesn’t seem too concernd about the severity of the injury.
“We chose to keep him out today,” Allen said. “I fully anticipate that he’ll practice tomorrow and be OK to play. But, again, we’ll evaluate that tomorrow and see where we’re at. He seems to think he’s going to be alright.”

********************************
Honestly, if you would have asked me to guess this, I would have never thought it was even that close.
We are only giving up 2 more “explosive” plays per game than our offense is generating?
Who knew??!??!??!
October 11th, 2012 at 3:51 pm
Idk Gdog, I am still entirely unimpressed wit the special teams. They are better than week1’s complete $hitting of the bed, but still not worthy. Lechler’s been aaverage at best. Jano’s got a bum groin which may never be the same. Coverage is better, but returns have been a flag fest or stupid fair catches and run outs of the endzone. We have lost battle of field position miserably this season. Even in the B&B offense we had that going for us….
October 11th, 2012 at 3:51 pm
Who’s going to A’s game? Game Five! Winner take all!

Wait, where was the other long TD run? Did I miss one?
Did Goodson’s long play in Miami get counted as a lateral and a running play?
WTF is up with the Trib writers and all the errors? Frist Purdy this morning is telling us about Balfour pitching in the bottom of the ninth and his fans going crazy in LF (wrong on both accounts), now this.
Get it together!!!

Basically, it is the way California processes it’s unemployment claims. So either this has happened before, which to my memory it has not, or as JFB suggests claim number should rise in the next two weeks.

The Raiders are one day away from boarding a plane for Atlanta in advance of their game against the Falcons on Sunday. This time, they are “hopeful” of faring better than they did the first two times they left the friendly confines of the Oakland Coliseum.
Hopeful?
The Raiders don’t sound too confident….

Speaking of strippers, I have a couple of hot squaws who need extra money to buy more…how you say….Massengil. Believe the Chief when I say…they need it.
I have much firewater to soak my …how you say…nads in. Should feel better afterwords.
I must go now to casino, then it’s back to heap big fun with squaw strippers.
My totem pole will be heap big……big.

The local CBS affiliate in Fresno, channel 47, usually carries all of the Raiders games, but in the listings for this Sunday it is not listed. Instead it says paid programming, and then in the afternoon game time slot it says NFL football without listing a specific game. I sure hope it is a mistake.

I think the boys can do it this Sunday, not real confident but if anythings held true in this last 10 years or so of Raiders misery is at the most unexpected times we can shock some teams. I’ve seen our run defense actually stop the opponents run when willed into doing so (only to regress to the same old the next week. I’ve seen jabustus rise up and play like a real QB, I’ve seen a crappy special teams decide to punt to Devon Hestor and make that work.
Against all odds is when our boys tend to shine. I hope that happens this Sunday!

Jon Goodwin from Chicago wants to know if first-year Oakland defensive coordinator Jason Tarver is on the hot seat.
BW: Yes, the Oakland defense has been awful. It has allowed 125 points and is suffering in several aspects of the game. But I wouldn’t pin it all on Tarver. Head coach Dennis Allen is a defensive specialist, so he’s part of it as well.

What does fourth-year running backs coach Kelly Skipper think the problem is.
Q: The tweaks you make (over the bye) in the running game, could those just be variations within the zone blocking scheme?
A: “There are a lot of variations. We have always led with the zone since I have been here. There are a lot of different things — and you’ll see as we get this thing going — and more variations we use as we get more productive.”//////////////////I don’t know what to believe with these guys.

Beeechy Bugger,
I love your self-proclaimed victories, lording over “meltdown of me.” You are a joke. I am my own person non-affiliated with anyone else.
There is your first mistake.
Your claim I “melted down” was your second mistake. I am here ready to rock, and blow you out of the blog.
Your third mistake is trying to take me on, since I am smarter, more articulate, and a much faster typist than you.
Listen Bugger Boy, everything you claim to do with women you are actually doing with men.
Your Gay Lover already said it. As far as your lil 2 inch twig goes, claiming it’s reached 12 inches is asinine.
You are a Bugger who sexually assaults unconscious victims, by your own admission.
As far as the real Wrecks N effects, I wonder if they know you are trespassing on their copyrights.
And wild claims about the existence of Rasta Ganja: we all know where you can place such claims. With the experience you have anything will fit there now.
Run along home little boy, with the ridiculous imagination: 1) stop by the in and out for some milk; 2) and remember to make a run under the Samo High bleachers.
Maybe there will be an unconscious victim or two under there for you to assault.

If Palmer can take charge of the game with the no huddle, we got a chance. Dmac will feed off of that and the defense will be on the field less because Palmer and co. can move the chains.
The OC is has a horrible feel for the tempo and rythym of the game. Apologists, that is just what it is. Palmer needs to take the bull by the horns.

I gotta say, with all the excitement of the offseason…the ‘New Era of Excellence’, DMAC healthy, Palmer full offseason, new DC…defensive minded HC, etc. etc. etc. I did NOT see us being this bad and the vibe being so hopeless and everything being so dam boring.
I was mad at every analyst predicting we would finish last, or rank us as one of the leagues worst. I could not understand where they could come up with that.
There were a few that predicted us to win the West…Merrill Hoge and some other guy I can’t recall who it was.
I never took stock in those “rankings” before but they were dead on about us. Which ticks me off. I was so looking forward to proving them wrong.
It COULD start Sunday. The most improbable result is Raiders winning. 2-3 would have us right back in the thick of things. Give us momentum, confidence going forward.

Unfortunately, it just won’t work. The only thing that would work on this guy is an ax handle across the head, for getting smart with a guard on the chain gang in Alabama.
In AD’s name let us pray:
“Please Al, it been many years since my last confession. Much of that time has been spent disrespecting you, pointing out that in final decade you had a horribly diseased mind.
Answer our prayers regarding McClain, and somehow get him cut from the team. You know you did wrong drafting him to a contract that guaranteed him $25M.

Defensive tackle Tommy Kelly is not practicing today as a result of a sore foot. Not sure if this qualifies as a setback, given he practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.
Fellow starting defensive tackle Richard Seymour still is battling a sore knee. Therefore, it’s likely that primary backup Desmond Bryant will see more playing time inside, with rookie Christo Bilukidi also in line for more snaps.

The Mitt said let Michigan fail, was a headline of an op-ed piece he didn’t write. Lie
BO met Bibi “a dozen times”. Lie
BO met with Bibi “more than any other leader”. Lie
Ryan’s Medicare would cost seniors $6,400. Lie
Biden’s claim that “he was there and told them it wouldn’t work” on the two wars on “the credit card”. Lie, he voted for both actually as well.

Romney writes a long op-ed piece about GM needing to go through a structured bankruptcy, basically what ended up happening, and talks about his love for GM from his family background and wanting to keep it alive moving forward.
The editor writes an opinion piece right next to it headlined “Romney says let Michigan fail” and they attach the quote to Mitt.
Unbelievable.
October 12th, 2012 at 5:27 am
Mitt Robme absolutely said let GM go bankrupt.

There were 3 according to CNN’s fact check, I am just going off what they reported.
The $716 million from Medicare is the same as Biden’s claim about the $6,400 added cost to Ryan’s plan. I guess it is the same.
The Death Panel thing that Biden made fun of (effectively I would add) and one other on troop drawdowns.

I actually thought Biden did very well and probably did win. I thought Ryan didn’t win the back and forths.
But all the polls I have seen so far, had Ryan slightly winning.
I didn’t have an issue with the grinning, but I guess a lot of people did.

Yes, opposed to Gov’t investment. He wanted a structured corporate bankruptcy to help the company comeback leaner and stronger.
Was he right? Maybe not, so far in the short-term he hasn’t been.
But he never said Let Detroit fail, that was the headline the editor used. The whole point of the Mitt’s column was how he thinks he could fix GM and HELP Detroit.

“We have to do a better job coming out after halftime and establishing SOMETHING, whether that be offense, defense or in the kicking game,” Raiders coach Dennis Allen said.

Yes Dennis, you have to come out in the second half and DO SOMETHING…its kinda what every other team does…
SMFH…

The biggest culprit is the way the Raiders performed on third-down plays in both games, Allen said.

People are expecting Atl to come out firing and attacking our Secondary, if they’re smart they will come out doing the opposite, establish the running game, control the clock and keep our Offense sidelined, they know we need our Offense on the field to have a shot so I’m thinking they will try and “out-ball-control-us” so they can protect their one weakness which is a questionable run defense.
But there’s a flip side to that coin, the Raiders should come out motivated and fired up, something Atlanta will also try to take away with long, sustained drives, but if we can man-up in the Red-Zone and keep the game close at the Half, we have a chance to keep the intensity level high and get some confidence, then we can wear down their front 7 in the 2nd half and make it a game that goes down to the wire.
I expect a close, conservative game until the final 20 minutes or so when the fireworks should begin, hopefully we can keep up when they do.
If things work out that way, we shock them 30-27.
Or, the Falcons can come out and no-huddle us to death and get a 24-6 halftime lead….smh.

October 12th, 2012 at 7:49 am
Bob,
Here’s a problem I see. Last 3 games Raiders are giving up over 33.5 pts. a game and what’s even worse is they aren’t coming becuz of Palmer turning the ball over or us fumbling; it’s just pure getting beat down.
It appears like the opposing teams offense treats 1st and 2nd down like it’s practice or something…knowing on 3rd down they’ll always get it anyway….and they do.
Denver did not even punt once the whole game. Miami blew us out, Pittsburgh did whatever the heck they wanted, and Denver? OMG.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
How DA goes thru this thorough evaluation and concludes nothing needs to change…”we just need to execute better”….Wow!
Guys are saying he’s gonna do some things differently he’s just not showing his hand….We’ll see.
I’m with the Raider players on this. They say they “hope” they can play well aganst Atl….so do I.
October 12th, 2012 at 7:53 am
I can’t remember where i read it, but one smart alek writer said he knows how DA solved the big defensive penalty issue…”just don’t get close enough to the receivers for the refs to call anything”.
It’s working.

I thought that right away when I saw those towells, but the A’s had a great yr. Too bad it’s over so quickly. Just think what they could have done with a few bucks.
Speaking of Pittsburgh and their “towells” it’s interesting that even tho they’ve done much better than us over these years, we still own the all time series record over them.

Verlander was awesome last night, I would pay $100 to watch him pitch live.
Loved the moment, sorry A’s fans, in the 5th with 2 outs, runner on and Norris at the plate in a 2-0 game.
2-2, Norris steps out of the box a tad late, and Verlander didn’t see until he starts his windup, and you can tell he is ticked. Next pitch he throws a wicked 12-6 curve at 75mph, that fooled everyone including the ump, as it was right down the plate.
Even more ticked, Verlander rocks back and blows a 99mph fastball past Norris on the next pitch, like F U go sit down.
Country hardball at it’s finest, and there isn’t another pitcher in the league who can go 75mph curve to 99mph fastball on back to back pitches.

Oakland is fresh off a bye week that came at an inauspicious time (to say the least), considering the Raiders were blown out in Denver in Week 4. The secondary was destroyed, while the front seven struggled to put pressure on Peyton Manning (zero sacks). If Tommy Kelly, Richard Seymour and Co. can’t beat the Atlanta Falcons’ offensive line at the point of attack, Matt Ryan will carve up the back four. The Raiders are 30th in points allowed. In fact, despite having a bye, Oakland has still allowed a league-high 55 points in the third quarter, which speaks to poor halftime adjustments. On the other hand, Atlanta has been a great second-half team thus far, pulling out games late in each of the past two weeks. #OAKvsATL

I gotta figure the DC is asking the D-line to be a little more cautious, and conscious of the Run game, instead of just pinning their ears back and rushing the passer, like they used to do .
October 12th, 2012 at 9:04 am
Well, that could be the case certainly…Focus on Gap control. We definately don’t really get GOUGED by the run until the 2nd half; after fatigue is setting in. Guess they gotta pick thier poison from game to game.

I’m hoping that Carter can at least create some disruption. I’m not expecting him to come in and be a sack machine, but opposing QB’s are just WAY TOO damn comfortable hangin in the pocket. Let’s make them shift a little, throw the ball a tad early, SOMETHING…. Hell, a knock down would be great.

It depends on how committed they are to WINNING, Versus how committed they are to running their systems with “THEIR” guys…..
So far, I’m led to believe that winning plays second fiddle to their systems and staff.
Of course results take time to measure but we as fans are impatient. It’s not our club or investment of time and plans. So it’s easy to say “Cut, fire, trade, swap, release….”
Seems like we gotta Wreck another season just to find out what they’re doing isn’t working.

I think I agree with your take that the system and its base algorhythm supercede importance of the goal of winning. I’ve seen some very smart companies and consultants with strings of letters behind their names on business cards produce plans that don’t have a lick of sense. But they are so studied, so smart. If you don’t understand the plan, it must be not within your small capabilities of thought. Leave deep thinking to the experts they say.
So Reggie came in and cleaned house and ushered in a new day of free thinking, trusting that the good faith in his rookie coach was going to lead to some inspired decisions. He gave him just enough rope to choke himself instead.
Sometimes, people need to be ‘handled’ for their own good. Not necessarily by an oppressive owner micromanaging day to day operations. But enough that they stay within their capabilities and focus on their limited role. Dennis Allen made some poor choices but really he shouldn’t have had that much power from the getgo.
I’ve worked with some very powerful organizations who produce some BS work, and every time I call them on lousy impressive looking work (but still trash) I am the bad guy that has to wave the common sense flag in their face. You see a lot of high ranking people and decision makers who don’t know how to operate in business environments at the ground floor, too busy sipping lattes at 50,000 ft level.
The org. needs more elbow grease and a little more centralized management processes streaming down and not up. The attempt to completely gut what the Raiders had last year inside with the same personnel is the type of decision that comes from muckymucks who don’t know ground floor operations.

I expect Atlanta to score on every drive because our defense sucks a$$ and cannot get off the field.
I expect the Raiders offense to kick a field goal every 4th possession and perhaps 1 touchdown all day…
Final Score.
42-l6–Atlanta–
Just being realistic folks, I have seen NOTHING from this team to indicate otherwise. You think the Mile High Beating was bad..Good Lord..wait till Roddy White, Julio Jones, Tony Gonzo, Michael Turner, and Matt Ryan have a go at this Defense..at Home..in a Dome..on turf…
Im probably going to bet my student loans and my mortgage on this game…Should have everything paid off by Wednesday and be debt free.
October 12th, 2012 at 10:07 am
Will we have an interception soon? We need PlAYMAKERS man…sick and tired of the BS fellas.

Don’t do it. That’s a trap bet based on emotion. I remember a game two years ago. We came off a humiliating early season loss and were heading into Denver as heavy underdogs. Then we ended up whipping them 59-14. Anything can happen. Don’t make sucker bets to attempt to pay off your mortgage or student loans.

Week 6 might be a loss
Week 7 we have the Jags at home…W
Week 8 we go to KC – MUST WIN
Week 9 we have the Bucs at home….W
We can be 4-4 through week 9! We can do it man…let’s see how much heart our team has….

My cuz is a cheese head and had some good things about Vic Soto as well as some other fudge packers fans him and carter on the other side would be a big jump in qb pressure, so Hey Dumb Fuggkck Allen pull your head out and realize Shaughnessy ain’t gettin in done move his azz to the left already and Houston inside. Common sence.

…and what’s the problem with playing Carter. I don’t know how good DA and crew think this Raiders team is..but after the Denver thrashing you’d think they’d have a clue that it’s not that good.
Getting Carter was agood move from where I sit right now. Play the guy. He syas he’s 100% and ready to go so why not throw him out there. DA says he’s not sure…well what are u waiting for?
You think we can handle Atlanta w/o changing things from what we’ve been?
Maybe he won’t be effective, maybe he will, but u gotta at least try right?
After this wknd. and if we’re at 1-4 do they realize that the season is bascially over? A
October 12th, 2012 at 10:12 am
…1-4 Saints team is different from a 1-4 Raiders team.
October 12th, 2012 at 10:12 am
Guest, I like the way you relate business with actual business. It paints a better picture than just saying….”Well it sucks, and so and so isn’t doing their job”
Well, there’s alot more to it.
And the Muckety-Mucks comment was right on.

Thanks man! So how are we feeling about this weekend? We losin’ by more than 14?
October 12th, 2012 at 10:17 am
I realize that Carter isn’t going to ’save’ us but give me something else to latch onto instead then.
IF he is effective, then it will really help the pass rush which we desperately need.
Seriously, how can it hurt? Will we be LESS effective at getting to the passer? Not possible.
We’re talking about a defense that didn’t force a SINGLE PUNT last week….teams (inc. Pittsburgh) are doing whatever the heck they want with and to us.
If not for a ROOKIE like Burris getting to Big Ben on that 3rd and nine…at least pressuring him…we probably lose that game and sit at 0-4.

Raider will do the improbable and somehow beat Atlanta.
October 12th, 2012 at 10:20 am
Well….My head says we’re gonna get the SH*T stomped out of us
My gut tells me that, this is exactly the kind of game that our Raiders Win and make the Sports world say “WTF?”
And my heart is staying out of the way of such matters now. I’m just gonna observe, look for any adjustments off the bye, watch for good points, and try not to get too high or low based on the outcome.

At least this loss should be easier to stomach, as I’ll be expecting a thorough thrashing from the dirty birds. Anything less than a thrashing, I’ll take as a positive.
October 12th, 2012 at 10:26 am

Lol, I hear ya. Normally I’m the same way, but this one should be easier to digest knowing what to expect. 1st 3 losses, I was expecting much more of this team, and realized they were cooking with artificial flavoring and sweeteners. Now that I’ve vomited that crap up and got it out of my system, I will just watch the cook make a mess of the kitchen.

It’s rediculous how much I can let it effect me sometimes. I’ve found myself being short tempered with my Daughter, or my girlfriend makes a delicious meal and I won’t feel hungry or just pick at it. I hate being physically dragged down….But hey, it’s my fault. I just got too emotionally invested.
October 12th, 2012 at 10:52 am
I have no idea what our owner is thinking…or our GM…or our HC.
I wish I did.
Do the blowout losses really matter to them? Is Mark “upset” about getting blownout in Denver and Miami? Is Reggie?
I have no idea if they are just chalking this season up to “learning some things” or what.

On a positive note, only 12 more games to have to tolerate #55 jogging after plays and being totally clueless making reads. This has to be his last year in the silver and black. Just has to be.
getting rid of McCheeze is going to feel like a new day. Like when we cut JR loose. Like that.
October 12th, 2012 at 11:01 am
Baseball is gay. Reggie bottom lip sucks.Ok, done for now.
October 12th, 2012 at 11:01 am
Dmac to the rescue? IM not so sure about that, but i ma sure he needs the ball more. a few of us have noticed that the raiders are far better when palmers pass attempts are limited going back to last year. This year palmer has been much better with ball security and the dink and dunk passing game of knapps has done wonders for him. So limitining his attempts coulped with keeping the passing game short may help palmer be even more efficient Less is more in palmer’s case.
Of course the real reason why the above points are important is because now the focal point of the offense is on the teams best player dmac. I have always thought he was better the more carries he gets, and can punish teams in the 4th quarter. By reigning in palmer even further you can force feed dmac and finally begin installing the stubborn run first mentality.
Im glad to see that the local media which first touted dmac and palmer as a dynamic duo, have now dialed it back to a feed dmac mantra. Im glad to see the coaches have finally figured out that palmer cant do it, throwing the ball all over the field.
The hard part is, that the defense will need to keep the explosive atlanta falcon offense from doing their quick strike deal that they love.
personally i dont think the raider run game will be enough this week and the rush yards against atlanta are a bit over blown. That team wins on offense and pass defense. they score fast, and keep the other team from doing the same. While teams run between the 20’s and kick field goals, atlanta strikes from 50 yards away with julio and roddy.
I hope our no name dbs pack some advil, they will be soar.

Dang man….That’s serious. I remember throwing both my hands in the air and screaming “YEEEEAAAHHH BABYYYY”
When I saw the ticker at the bottom of the screen read “Raiders release QB Jamarcus Russell”.
I wanted to hug somebody and jump up and down.
October 12th, 2012 at 11:26 am
It doesn’t take much to get a desperate fan base excited.
Russell is long gone but here we still are…one of the worst teams in the league.
Must be nice to be a fan of a franchise that actually….WINS.

BEEECH DIGGITY ROCKIN’ THE MIC N FULL EFFECT
Let me get this straight, old troll KrappyRat was blogging at 4 am Swiss time while swilling Malibu Rum
And the old goat worries about the blog being embarrassed, totally understandable
Yo, the Beeech Digs is in full on rehearsal mode with DJ Fresh Beatz for his upcoming VIP hip hop tour
We’ll be playing every cut off Wrecks N Effect in order, so fans will obviously pay top dollar to witness this amazing spectacle
Gonna be knocking a lot of boots on this trip (getting waaaaaay laid) so, starting today, the Beeeech Lawg will begin rigorous workouts.
Meaning, I will attempt to hump a minimum of 9 wasted strippers a day
Wish me luck, brahs

I HAVE to believe that it will be there; that all my frustration and heartache will be rewarded one day. Cause you know DAMN well, that when this thing turns around, you’re gonna see Raider shirts and flags coming outta the woodwork. I’m gonna say “BULLSH*T MUF*KA. Where were you guys when I was the ONLY one Reppin’ Silver and Black at the sports bar. Every Game, every YEAR. Once in awhile another Nation Brother would walk in and we’d sit together; watching the Horde of Steeler Fans roaring and slapping hands with each other. Hearing the entire bar erupt in laughter during halftime when they showed the Replay of our Kick retrun guys bumping into each other and falling on the ground before the ball arrives.
The taste will be that much sweeter when they are a winning franchize because I was stead fast and never abandoned.

We should give a sixth for Burfict. At least when he is running slow it is his full speed. Dude will plug a hole in the run game.
