We paid BOSSMAN less than half of what miller got and miller isn't even worth that. gallery is a joke. as for nnamdi, I think his agent fucked things up with Al, since he seemed to want to come back. Somehow he says an offer was never made though.
eagles will continue to suck, for the same reason I said they would before the season started. weak defensive line and weak linebackers.

Hue said something like a guy came out, either tired or hurt or something I'm guessing, and nobody replaced him. Texans were doing the hurry up offense weren't they?
Another awesome finish to a Raider game, add this one to the holy roller, the sea of hands, ghost to the post, the Heidi game etc...
It's that will to win. The NFL loves it when the Raiders are doing good. They keep showing the Raiders on NFL replay and their on turning point this week.

I think the guy missing was Boyd or Giordano.
The play is a 3WR set. They put Routt (the number one corner) on Walter because they know the play. They've seen it before. What is supposed to happen is that Walter is looking for a pick/rub by Daniels. If not, then you get Daniels on an LB. Knowing that the Raiders will be in man, you also get the MLB out of the way by sending Foster out in the flats. The middle should be WIDE open. What ends up happening is that Daniels is double bumped, doesn't get a free release, is covered by a DB, and doesn't get in Routt's way. So where's Huff? One on one vs their #2 WR, Jones.
Giordano/Boyd was supposed to go in for Huff because he's now playing corner. Branch ends up in charge of covering the entire field as single high safety. Mitchell is in, but he's playing LB as he does in some packages. His assignment is to bump Daniels after Houston bumps him first and cover him.
Everyone plays underneath the receivers, not fearing the fade. Looking at the play again, sure Schaub deserves some blame, but the D played it perfectly (with one man down!) and Jones kinda let the team down. Schaub makes his first read (Walter) who is supposed to be wide open, but is not. He moves on to Daniels, but Daniels isn't in a good position, so he scrambles as the pocket is collapsing. When Schaub goes left, he sees that Branch is gunning for him. Branch is really fast and a sure tackler (our leading tackler). No way he escapes him, so Schaub is waiting for Jones to come back to him, but instead he just lingers for a sec, then kinda sprints right. Schaub limp wrists it to give them a chance to make a play. And, again, Huff is underneath without fear. Ball game. Schaub shouldn't have limp wristed it, but Jones should have been in scramble drill mode. He actually goes backwards and lets Huff get position on the throw.

and all this speculation is jus comin outta tha woodworks since Als passing.. media needs somethin to write about!
but I bet you fag bags would much rather drive out to Santa Clara for a game instead of jus crossin tha bay bridge.. squares

as long as the team is controlled by the Davis family, I doubt they leave Oakland. after reading an article by the old Raiders beat writer bill soliday. where he talked about the move to LA, you can tell al never wanted to leave and always regretted it. he just felt he got screwed over by the politicians and wanted to show them he can't be fucked with.
Those stadiums are hundreds of millions of dollars, teams are not gonna buildthem by themselves. Noone will call either team the "Santa Clara" 49ers or Raiders except the fans who are talking shit to the other team. You don't really hear shit about the New Jersey Jets or New Jersey Giants even though that's where they play. There are a few other teams that play outside of the city they claim, but those 2 football teams play in an entirely different state. I don't think either team should move, but both need renovations or new stadiums bad and the cities just aren't willing to help them enough to stay.
