Really? I think you should read this then.

They have to play the colts, chargers twice, broncos twice, titans, jags, packers.

And the decline of the afc west? The chargers are back and firing on all cylinders and the chiefs and broncos are looking tough as well.

Yes an L is an L, but the raiders have stayed competitive against tough opposition. The niners on the other hand have gotten blownout in their losses.

^^^ The updated strength of schedule for this year.

Decline of the AFC West?
Yes, the AFC West is in a decline. The chargers, Cheifs, and Broncos are now what they used to be. They are not even what they were last year. And beating the raiders is not firing on all cylinders, beating easy teams makes teams look better. The Cheifs are good but no where near what they used to be. And the Broncos are relying on field goals to save the game, I dont think thats going to last to long.

Staying competitive against the Lions, Titans, Broncos and chiefs is really difficult to do. Raiders play their first tough opponent in the Chargers and what happened? They got blown out and the game wasnt even close.

The steelers game and the Ravens games werent blow outs and the Niners were competitive in those games. The Ravens and the Steelers are both better teams then anyone the Raiders have played so far.

The raiders would have a tougher time with the seahawks, giants and the saints, if would have played better teams like them.

Lions 5-2
Broncos 3-3
Browns 4-3
Dolphins 0-8
Chargers 4-3
Chiefs 4-3
Titans 5-2
Texans 3-5
Bears 3-5
Vikings 2-5
Packers 5-1
Colts 7-0
Jags 5-2

I don't get how they have the 3rd easiest schedule when their combined opponents records is 50-42. Like I said get your info straight. The dolphins 0-8 record brings that down immensly also.

And thats hilarious how you say the raiders would have a tougher time against seahawks, giants and saints just cause those 3 teams beat the shit out of the niners. With your distorted logic you probably think the nfc west is better then the afc west too.

Actually the Chargers are back, Chris Chambers has given them a super power offense again and who really cares about sos the Raiders suck, there my team but were having the same problem we have had ever since Gannon broke his neck or whatever the fuck happened to him, we have no QB. Bring in Russell. NFC West is terrible it will never be better then the AFC West.

I'm in between giving Culpepper another chance and starting JaMarcus Russell. Culpepper was under a lot of heat yesterday and I'll blame the o-line for that. But if we're going to keep getting fumbles and INT's every now and then, then we might as well play JaMarcus and let him get some experience so he'll be somewhat ready next year.

JR would get SLAUGHTERED behind that o-line..he would lose any ounce of confidence he has.....that would do a ton of demage to play him right now.

Remember our davd carr discussions in the off-season???

Yeah he's an upgrade... Cooper is about the only one holding his own out there. If you're going to get on one of our linemen get on Sims.... Cooper is doing a good job out there.

And what about David Carr? You still say we should have signed that bum?

Quote from Peter King:

b. If a team can have less than no faith in a player, that's what the Panthers have for David Carr. Just look at the play-calling when he came into the game against Indy in the third quarter. They're down 10 and running draws on third-and-10.

The only top ten teams that they play are the Packers and the Colts. The rest of the schedule is hard huh?lol

Where the hell did I say ANYWHERE that the NFC West was harder then the AFC West. Its funny that when peoplare wrong in here, they start making shit up.

I said that the AFC West wasnt what they used to be. Ant that statement is correct.

Niners combined opponent record 50-67

One of the worst in the NFL

Have you looked at our schedule? We entered tied with the toughest schedule with the Bills and only face 5 teams with a Losing record last year. Anyway you look at it the Raiders have a tougher schedule then the Niners and lmao @ saying the Packers and Colts the only top 10 teams. Jaguars aren't a Top 10 Team? San Diego isn't a Top 10 Team? Titans, Lions both with 5 wins, How many Top 10 teams do the niners face this year?

lol @ this fool. What happened to your theory that the raiders have the 3rd easiest schedule huh? The only tough teams are the colts and the packers lol? How about the jags, titans, chargers, and lions?

And you need to learn how to read I was being sarcastic when I said that you probably think the afc west is weaker then the nfc west since all your other logic involving football seems to be way off.
