Dear god watching that Raiders game in person yesterday was brutal. The fans were chanting for Grabowski by the second possesion. Cable and Russel need to go, I'd take clutch/fox over that tandem.

i think cable is a good coach considering what he has been given to work with
I'm glad KC sucks. I never saw the justification in benching Tyler Thigpen after what he did last year for Matt Cassel. Even when Cassel took over for Brady in NE his first few weeks Belichick was looking elsewhere for a QB and there were reports that he, even then, was nothing more than a glorified HS quarterback.
Low and behold he can throw the ball to Moss, Welker and Gaffney and gets a 70 million dollar pay day. Are they really that shocked that he sucks? Brodie Croyle or Thigpen should get a shake at playing, I mean they cant do any worse than 90 yards passing. Granted he played without Bowe but still, shit happens and you have to make due.
Then again they are still waiting for Glenn Dorsey to pay off and lets not forget about their much hyped rookie from 3 years ago Tamba Hali. It's a good thing Penn State never puts busts in the NFL amirite? It seems to be more of a culture/organization thing as opposed to player thing. If they knew how to draft and get free agents that were worth a shit then this wouldn't be an issue.
"OMGAWD DID U SEE WUT DANTE HALL DID IN STL LAST YEAR???? OMG LETS GET HIM"
"OMGAWD DID U SEE WUT MATT CASSEL DID IN NE LAST YEAR???? OMG LETS GET HIM"
"OMGAWD DID U SEE WUT [Insert overrated player name] DID IN [Previous City]???? OMG LETS GET HIM"
That seems to be their business model the past few seasons.
Edit: ROFL Check out the Chiefs homepage. They play the Giants and apparently the G-Men should be worried. What they need to do is post an apology for the shitty product they are trying to pass off as a real NFL team.

What ever happened to Dante Hall? Cant find him anywhere.
On October 7, 2008, Hall injured his ankle vs. the Arizona Cardinals, missing four games. He further aggravated his ankle on October 25, 2008, vs. the Seattle Seahawks and was placed on injured reserve.[7] He was not resigned to a contract at the end of the year.

I haven't managed to get through all the pages in this thread yet, but anyone hear that after Ganon picked apart everyting Russel is doing wrong, Al Davis tried to ban him from the CBS production truck, never mind the fact he works for CBS and does reporting on the raider games. The NFL had to bitch slap his punk ass down.
I said it all along that matt cassel would fail in his first year in K.C because at the end of the day he still had all those ridiculous weapons to help him out last year in N.E.
LOLraiders, I will say this: I will always root for an LSU boy in the pro's except the week he's playing against the Saints. Russel for me is a huge huge bust because there is no excuse for his play when he has weapons around him.
Raiders have Bush, Mcfadden, some decent WR's. They should be a 9-10 win team to challenge the charges for that divison period, end of story with some of that talent they have on defense to keep them in games.
Bad owner for cutting Jeff garcia who imo was their only shot to win some games this year and now they are stuck with pooarcus russel who is the new ryan leaf or gino toretta = fail bust.
Sitting up in the second deck, I heard no less then 5 "this is our version of ryan leaf" comments. The guy is out of shape and watching him, he looks like a fucking deer in head lights. He got a mock standing O when he went three and out on three hand offs just cause it meant he didn't through a pick.
Luckily for you guys my disdain for Fox/Clutch out shines my disdain for Failboy nation tenfold.
I wouldn't go as far as calling the guy "Oakland's version of Ryan Leaf." That guy is in a class of his own until someone else comes a long throwing some epic type grown man temper tantrums. Some other bust QB sure but not Ryan Leaf, at least not yet (who knows if he'll have a meltdown).
Every time I hear something about Jamarcus Russell being terrible, I'm reminded of Al Davis' press conference rant at Lane Kiffin right after firing him. Kiffin apparently protested the drafting of Jamarcus Russell, and Davis defending it saying "He is a great player."
I genuinely wonder if Al Davis still thinks Jamarcus Russell is a great player.
If Al said yes would that surprise you? Al likes to blame coaches for everything and he always has. Look at how shit went down and ended when Shannahan was there. The same thing with Art Shell back in the 80s and again a few years ago. Look at Gruden, Kiffin and now it will be Cable.
Al is a senile old man who never sees the glass as half empty, his cup is always runneth over with Raider nation talent and fast 40 times.
