Tuesday at noon http://www.ibabuzz.com/oaklandraiders/2012/11/12/live-chat-whats-wrong-with-the-raiders-tuesday-at-noon/ A look inside the world of the highly classified Oakland Raiders from the writers of Bay Area News Group Sat, 25 May 2013 10:05:24 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: DJ Johnny http://www.ibabuzz.com/oaklandraiders/2012/11/12/live-chat-whats-wrong-with-the-raiders-tuesday-at-noon/comment-page-4/#comment-1126264 DJ Johnny Tue, 13 Nov 2012 21:47:28 +0000 http://www.ibabuzz.com/oaklandraiders/?p=20553#comment-1126264 On NFLN last night they had the show "Top Ten Home Field Advantages" and I was kind of shocked to see the Coliseum came in at # 4...ahead of Seattle AND Arrowhead for instance. The big reason was not only the 'Black Hole' crowd but our 14-3 home playoff record there. Still, i was surprised we came in that high given our record there the last what...20 yr's.? On NFLN last night they had the show “Top Ten Home Field Advantages” and I was kind of shocked to see the Coliseum came in at # 4…ahead of Seattle AND Arrowhead for instance.

The big reason was not only the ‘Black Hole’ crowd but our 14-3 home playoff record there.

Still, i was surprised we came in that high given our record there the last what…20 yr’s.?

They also won very close games..hardly any blowouts. I mention that for the folks that say the close games we won last yr. "don't count cuz they could've gone either way". Interesting too that while they may have been one of the most penalized teams in 76 we were actually saved by the Sugar Ray Hamilton blow to the head against New England in the 1st rd. that yr. BYW..It WAS a penalty...a blow to the head is a blow to the head and they called it back then too. Plus...it was only 3rd down. If the penalty wasn't called Stabler still had another shot regardless. You wanna bet against Stabler in the 4th quarter?

Too early in my book to cast aside DA. We can't turn back the clock and re-install Jackson and if we could I'd want Tom Flores or John Madden back :-) Well we’ll see.

Thats halftime adjustment folks... who's responsible for that? THE HEAD COACH. He gets out coached every half. Hes a Dc who is proving hes not ready to be a hc. Im sorry but he's just not the answer.

We're not an expansion team we are an legit nfl football team but you cant just have talented players you need an organiztion who knows the talent they have and how to maximize off of their abilities. DA doesnt make players better and doesnt know how to maximize off of the talent he has and that much is evident through how much our star players have regressed under his watch and his willingness to stick with the zone scheme even after seeing its ineffective.

So dont give us that its a rebuild year bs raiderduck, mcf20 and etc… Because we haven’t lost nearly as much as a team and we were more competitive last year. The problem is we made the wrong moves hiring McKenzie and Dennis allen. Thats the problem… period. That rebuild crap is an excuse and a sorry 1 at that. ======================== You make it sound so simple. Truth is the Raiders have been bad for most of the last 20 years. We need a rebuild and some more. The Mack Says:

I am glad he was fired. I'd rather have the Cable Guy than Jackson. Besides Reggie Mac was always going to bring in his guy. By the time next year we may know if DA is the right guy.
