    Let's talk about the schedule.

    Denver - WIN 1-0
    KC - loss (close one) 1-1

    at Minnesota - loss 1-2
    at Indianapolis - loss 1-3
    Bears - win 2-3
    at GB - loss 2-4
    at Houston - loss 2-5
    Detroit - win 3-5
    LAC - loss 3-6
    Cincinnati - win 4-6
    at NYJ - win 5-6
    at KC - loss 5-7
    Tennessee - win 6-7
    Jacksonville - win 7-7
    at LAC - loss 7-8
    at DEN - loss 7-9


    I have the Raiders at 7 wins despite losing five of six divisional games. Their ability to split the division is absolutely the key to their season. At 2-4, they're 8-8. At 3-3, they're 9-7, which could well get them into the playoffs. The games to circle - last game of the season vs. Denver and those home games vs. KC and Chargers.

    BTW, if the Raiders can win those home games, they'd be sitting at 5-4 heading into four of five games they could very well win. 9-5 before two games on the road? That would be an epic season.

    Jon Gruden showed how overrated and clueless he really is by throwing his GM into a corner. If I am Mike Mayock, I resign and call it a day. You do not deserve to be treated like an a****** by a malcontent scumbag and called racial slurs to boot and then that piece of a s*** gets rewarded by not being punished. Raider way is still Al Davis way.

    AB needs his head examined. Brain is going to complete mush.

    I’m lost about the purpose of this video. Black and white, artsy, dramatic music, does he think he’s being an activist and fighting for a cause? His cause was he wanted to wear an unsafe helmet and was told no, so he didn’t show up to work like a little spoiled baby. I’m supposed to feel sorry for that? Oh no, you have to wear a different helmet and make $30 mil guaranteed to play a game you chose as a career. His coach asked him nicely to do his job in that phone conversation, is he supposed to be a bad guy in this or...what? Good riddance, I’d rather root for a mediocre team without the drama.

    None of the above...just a self absorbed, self promoting, self righteous piece of propaganda.

    The Raiders did it right. I like the GM isn't taking crap from anyone. The Raiders want to change the history of the front office. AB deserved the fines, deserved the suspension that didn't happen and deserved getting released without his money. What I am curious about is will the NFL investigate the racial slur? I was going to ask that before I heard he got released but now i'm not sure it will even be a thing. Either way, losing his skill is a major set back.

    Let's go RAIDERS!

    Unfortunately, I have the Broncos. But the good news is that they're 3-point favorites. I think it's going to be a little closer than that, so take Oakland if you're getting 3. Would love to see these guys get started on the right foot.

    Had to catch highlights. Lots of questions answered. Hell of a start.

    RIP Neiron Ball. Sad, sad stuff.

    That Abram kid was playing too. That is a harsh hit for us.
