AFJF Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 After his 6-0 start last season he's 4-12 with an epic a$$ kicking today. No defense to speak of. No run game either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenranger Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 If he's not he should be. There is absolutely no excuse to giving up 59 Pts to the Oakland freaking Raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 I think that's the highest point total I've ever seen other than the 62 Miami surrendered against Jax in Marino's farewell game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachEY Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I mean, what do you expect when you trade away your two best players? Then, probably the best guy you have left gets hurt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, that's the funny thing...their passing game is the only thing they've done right. Orton isn't terrible and is putting up great numbers which kind of makes trading your QB/WR a moot point. Even if that wasn't the case, I never expect ANY NFL team to give up 59 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serphnx Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 The Raiders are actually a pretty good team. They barely lost 1 game on a missed FG, and I have no idea how the Niners beat them either. I guess total desperation. This team will probably win the division imo. No team should be giving up 59. The worst teams in the league right now are the Panthers, Cardinals, Niners, the Lions, the Jaguars and probably the Broncos and Bengals. The Bills are winless but I don't think they are as bad as these teams either. You'd have to put the Raiders above all these guys. That could still put them in the bottom 10, but in a league of parity, getting hot can make you a playoff team instantly. Don't be surprised to see the Raiders in the playoffs.

They beat some teams they weren't supposed to beat last season when they had Gradkowski in there. You could definitely see that they were on the right track. They could definitely win that division.

Blackout Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Why cant our JETS hang 62 on someone! That would be orgasmic! the only teams I'd really want to see them score 62+ against would be are the Patriots, Dolphins and Cowgirls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 The Raiders aren't going to win the division, but they've been playing better since mid or last last year.

I don't think the Chargers or Broncos will, neither of those teams has shown anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 The 2010 Broncos are now 2-5. After that 6-0 start last year they are 4-13 over the last 17 games under Joshie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That leaves the Chiefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klecko73isGod Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 See, that's the funny thing...their passing game is the only thing they've done right. Orton isn't terrible and is putting up great numbers which kind of makes trading your QB/WR a moot point. Even if that wasn't the case, I never expect ANY NFL team to give up 59 points. Orton was putting up huge numbers until the last two weeks. Against both the Raiders and the Jets his completion percentage was in the low 40s. Clearly Rex Ryan and Mike Pettine figured something out about how to defend this guy and the Raiders carefully studied the Jets game and applied the same philosophy defensively. I would expect all of their future opponents to follow suit. He may have a couple more good games when playing weak defenses the rest of the way but any team that can defend him the Raiders and Jets did will have similar success.

SMC Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I mean, what do you expect when you trade away your two best players? Then, probably the best guy you have left gets hurt? And then you draft horribly. Don't forget that part. He trades away his best 2 players, then doesn't draft well, and then loses his next best player to injury. That's a recipe for disaster and except for the Elvis injury it's all on McDumbass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part of the Raiders success this season is that Belichick and the Chowds were confident they were getting a top 5 pick in the 2011 draft but now it will likely be in the 15th pick range.

What would be ultimate karma is if the Raiders somehow won the AFCW with an 8-8 record, faced the WC 11-5 Pats in Oakland and win. With the new draft seeding based on playoff performance the Raiders would end up with a lower 1st rounder than the Pats. Yeah, trading Seymour would look real good right then. LOL.

I'm not sure that's true...I doubt Belichick thought he was giving the Raiders a finished Seymour...It's just extremely invaluable to have 2 first round picks with the way teams value draft picks...plus I doubt the Pats wanted a top 5 contract. I like the direction the Raiders have been putting themselves in the past couple years...It's too bad they took Russell over Johnson or AD or Joe Thomas or anyone but Russell in '07. If he was competent they'd be a legit contenders by now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make some good moves and then bad moves that keep them from making the jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
