The Official Oakland Raiders 2011 Season Thread

[corinthian]

I think the broncos have the best defense in the league right now.

 

[T-Rip]

Patriots aint even that great this year but there gonna absolutely destroy the Broncos to put things in perspective about how good Tebow really is. its the defense winning the games for the Broncos its pretty obvious.

 

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Carson Palmer is terrible and that trade was dumb as fuck setting you back like 5 years. Bengals on the other hand will be up and coming. Lol @ giving up that much for an old turd to finish .500 that's the kind of trade you do when you're one player away from a Super Bowl not to go 8-8 or 9-7.

Amen Rossibreath, amen.

Patriots aren't that good? Lol they're the 2nd or 3rd best team in the NFL.

I disagree. He just looks bad right now because he has no one to throw it to and is getting no protection. Check the San Diego game to see what he can really do.

raiders cant win out if mcfadden is still injured. simple and plain, no mcfadden, no playoffs.

we need chris johnson to pull threw family troubles and start next week, and idk what the fuck we gonna do about safetys.

 

[MaC A$$ ViC]

i think he was just trying to do too much vs the pack. he knew he had to do as much as possible and thats what he tried to do, but with the receivers we had out there, it wasn't cutting it. HE HASNT EVEN PLAYED WITH OUT BEST PLAYER!!!!

i think if ford and moore come back we could win out. even without RUN DMC.

 

[REACHTMO]

we need to establish the run game though. Carson cant throw the ball every down, and the way bush is running is just a waste. I want and need a back that I can give the ball to and have hopes for a potential touchdown every play. Think back to our first 3 games, and how dominating our run game was, mcfadden and bush tandum was almost getting them both 100+ yards

No doubt that moore and ford are organs of our offense though. With them back it will make more room for bush's running style. IF he can burn past the front four, and has a little room he can run down hill, but every carry he had last game, and most of the miami game, it seemed like all it took was the d-line +1 to stop him.

 

[Jaysav]

if the defense gets more fired up by 1 qb over another I feel bad for those players. as a defensive player I would be fired up for myself and my defense mates.... This excuse is almost as funny those who say GOD wants him to win. If god is picking a football game over the famine in the world then thats a sorry state.....sorry if that offends anyone but its true if you think about it. And by the way, Lovie smith is highly religious why do that vs him, why would god pick certain players over others when all are very outward with what they believe?


defense gets more fired up...bwhahahahaha, if it takes tebow to get champ and dawkins fired up then maybe they need to look at themselves in the mirror and see why they are still playing. Think about that, they are only saying to back the current qb....thats all! They talked highly about orton when he was qb too.

Exactly. This whole "Jesus" thing is getting kind of ridiculous and old.

 

[MaC A$$ ViC]

in a way it is good that mcfadden didnt come back, because i think everyone was sold on bush before the the miami game. i certainly was, but seeing how he performed these past couple of games, he doesnt deserve starting back money, he wouldnt be able to handle the load for 16 games.

 

[REACHTMO]

at least not with the running scheme in oakland. We have a more side to side, sweepy kind of scheme. And bush doesnt have sideline to sideline speed. If we had a front four like the steelers we could taylor to the way bush runs. I think he can easily be a starter in the nfl, but he doesnt fit in as the raiders #1

That's why I was literally "lmao" when one of the Raider fans on here said they have the 2 best RB's in the league lol. Can't remember who it was, but that shit was comedy.

 

[5-Dime NwK]

A healthy Darren McFadden is the best running back in the league. Keyword is obviously healthy, which he hasn't been expect for the start of the season.
He was WAY ahead in yardage in those few games he did play.
Either way, the Raiders have disappointed me many times so why should this year be any different.
If we finish 9-7 and out of the playoffs then this season was a bust. This sucks.

 

[REACHTMO]

ill take 9-7 over 4-12 anyday

 

[MaC A$$ ViC]

especially with no pick in the first round LOL

 

[REACHTMO]

yea... that was a mistake

Somebody was saying him and Bush were the two best, not that DMC was the best. THAT is what made me laugh. AND, DMC was the hottest back in the league, he's not the best. Adrian Peterson is the best back in the league.

 

[REACHTMO]

adrien peterson has health issues too. But ill have to admit Adrien Peterson has mad bars. If I had them both on the same team, Id probably put peterson 1 dmc 2. But I think mcfadden has better break away speed, and his fumbling problem in college hasnt carried over to the nfl. His biggest flaw is his god damn feet.

 

[DFresh77]

lol@Raiders finishing 9-7 and playoffs in the same sentence...........
