[Bobby D]

john madden doesn't call it the "No Figure League" for nothing :banana

anything can happen on any given sunday :crazy

[Frankee]

:roll

[Guitar Josh]

I'll take that bet Mike!

[madaxeman]

Since I live near Philly, last Sunday was my Superbowl and I'm ashamed to admit I didn't think they had a chance, but yeah I'm definitely with you on this one. :aok

[Bulldog]

I'd say the Raiders have a good chance.

[YoungAmerican]

If the Raiders D from last weekend shows up, we've got a shot. But we're going to have to do better than one big fluke of a play on offense if we want to win.

It would help if Russell had Schilens back for this week, but it looks like his foot is acting up again.

[Polynitro]

maybe. Im not sure beating the Jets is such a great accomplishment :dunno

[michael.e]

Who against the Jets??

Heh.....


You have a good ear Mike! I like your choice in amps/tone!!!!

Now, regarding teams....

God love ya man!!

[Austinrocks]

Really hoping Mikes right on this, love to see the Raiders winn

[Reinhardt Amps]

Sue says no f'in way.




And id hate to be you big'un.........

:thud

[jimfog]

If you can count on your opponent refusing to run the ball and dropping passes left and right again, I think you may be right!

:aok

[twinrider1]

I don't know. Oakland has some key players pretty banged up.

250+ yards rushing for Jets. Jets win comfortably.

[Cobra]

WOW!!!
Getting oogley boogley...
Sorry Big Mike...

[Reinhardt Amps]

hows that prediction working out for you big'un?

:munch

[Darby Crash]

38-0 ... it wasn't as close as it sounds.

[newking70]

38-0 ... it wasn't as close as it sounds.

:thud:hide:thud

[YoungAmerican]

Worst home loss in Raiders history.

[YoungAmerican]

Something tells me Tom Cable and John Marshall got an earful from Big Al after all those blitzes last week.

[DanR]

Oakland beats the Jets at home tomorrow.

noop. sorry big mike. it was bold...

[Cobra]

Mike prolly went to the game, & prolly won't be heading right home afterwards.
Just a thought...

[YoungAmerican]

Worst team in Raiders history, IMO...

Our defense is better than 2006, but the offense is much, much worse.

[Trandy]

:facepalm

[twinrider1]

Well here's to Mike for supporting his team. What's that saying?...It's always darkest before the league disbands your team? Yea, I think that's it.

[Scott Peterson]

"Yea, about that prediction.... ummm, yea...." :facepalm

Mike, I love you like a brother... but... :messedup

[Totally Bored]

Dude your team looked real bad. We " The Jets" lost 3 games in a row and we came in to your house and spanked your team.

Sanchez looked so comfy that he was eating a hot dog chilling during that game. LINK (http://www.sbnation.com/2009/10/25/1100443/mark-sanchez-scarfs-hot-dog-on)

Thanks for making us look good.


Go Jets !!!!

[MCSS1970]

Mike, I like your faith and confidence. Unfortunately I no longer have either after 33 years of supporting them. Things like this make me sick:

Oakland lost by at least 20 points for the fourth time in five weeks

Russell has committed 13 turnovers and completed just 46 percent of his passes

This was just the fifth home shutout ever for the Raiders (2-5), with four coming in the past four seasons

In other words, they were shutout for a home loss once in 36 years, then four times in four years.

Wow.

[FiestaRed]

Wow.

In addition, the Raiders have scored 5 TDs in a total of 28 quarters this year. Someone pointed out in another thread that Brady had that many in one quarter last week. I believe at least 2 current QBs have thrown for more TDs in a game than the Raiders have scored total this year.

[Rob Sharer]

When "keeping it real" goes wrong....

I share your pain bro. My new boss is a diehard Jets fan and I now owe him a case of beer. At least I get to drink it with him.

oh, how the mighty have fallen.......

Don't sweat it, Nostradamus. You'll forget this pain soon enough.

I'm sure your boys will let you down worse at some point in the future.

Ooooo...
Ouch!

[Craig Walker]

I give ya props for supporting your team, Mike.

Come plant both feet on the Who Dat wagon for the rest of the ride. :)

[Darby Crash]

The good news is the Raiders have a bye in two weeks. The bad news is bye is favored by 10.

[GuitarsFromMars]

:facepalm


Can you feel the love, from the guy who roots for a team, with toxic management?

:thud

[edgarallanpoe]

Wow...I can't believe how bad Russell is. The mistakes he was making were things I was told not to do in Jr High and that is not exaggerating in the least. I am not a fan of Dierdorf but he nailed it when he called the mistakes "sophomoric". I saw him throw the ball up for grabs right down the middle of the field TWICE when he was under pressure. You can't do that at ANY level of football and expect to be successful.

The terrible part of all of this is that the Raiders *do* have some talent. But big Al is so determined to make the Russell thing work that he is throwing the entire team under the bus in order to prove himself right.

Big Mike...I admire your persistence bro... Better luck next week.

That someone would be me...


... but I love ya, Big Mike :D

[Bankston]

You must've drank from the same fountain as Richard Seymour.

[DanR]

Big Mike,

Earlier in the thread, I took a good natured shot at your prediction.

Just remember......I got the Lions :cry:

[mojocaster.com]

You must've drank from the same fountain as Richard Seymour.


Seymour just thought he was still w/ the Pats when he said that ;)

[big mike]

S'all good. I support my boys.

'cept that bust of a overpaid, underworking quarterback.

[pickaguitar]

Go Cardinals!

[mojocaster.com]

That QB, since they're not paying him commensurate to his talent, must be paid by the pound.

Big Mike, you're the man. You put the fanatic right back into the fan :D

[big mike]

Loyalty my friend, loyalty.

[HEY!YOU!]

Sorry BM, I thought you were being optimistic.
Kudos for backing your guys.

My Broncos.......6-0
I wouldn't have thought it, but it feels good.....

Maybe one day when weird Al doesn't run the team

[Frankee]

I'd like to pour salt in the wound.......but that would make me a bad sport.

[Polynitro]

Prediction Fail
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p161/cgravier_bucket/stupidaccidents08.jpg

[Bankston]

Saw this stat today on ESPN:

Darius Heywood-Bey: 7 games, 4 receptions, 64 yds

Michael Crabtree: 1 game, 5 receptions, 57 yds

The QB obviously is partly to blame for Heywood-Bey's lack of production, but it's not like Crabtree had Brady throwing the ball to him yesterday. It was Shaun Hill and Alex Smith, who had barely played in 2 years.

Raiders' problems come down to 1 thing: years and years of bad draft day decisions.

[big mike]

Lets not annoint crabtree yet.
Almost no wr's have been thrown to since jasnackus has been in town.
At least bay had his ass in camp.

[Cobra]

jasnackus?
Ouch!

[big mike]

Romo was saying he'd hook up russell with his new weight loss supliment on facebook. Lol

romanowski that is.

im calling it, oakland is taking the super bowl.

[big mike]

Hmmm shut out or giving a win away.... Which is worse
fin fan. Pffffffffft.

[Scott Auld]

The fibula injury Leon Washington suffered Sunday involved a compound fracture, the Daily News reports. Literally, a bad break for Washington, as the word is that the broken bone pierced his skin. "I could see blood spurting out," one player said. "I've never seen anything like that before." Washington, who underwent emergency surgery Sunday, has not yet been placed on IR, but we assume that he is done for the year. Rookie Shonn Greene to fill in.

[Scott Auld]

Hmmm shut out or giving a win away.... Which is worse
fin fan. Pffffffffft.

Fins were pretty crappy, dominating the Saints for three quarters and then turning into a reasonable facsimile of the Raidahs. Reminded me of the Colts game, we beat them up for 45 mins and then gave it away.

[Bankston]

Lets not annoint crabtree yet.
Almost no wr's have been thrown to since jasnackus has been in town.
At least bay had his ass in camp.

Not saying Crabtree's holdout was justified because it wasn't. Crabtree was stupid, but virtually every pro scout had Crabtree rated as the best WR prospect in the draft last year.

Uncle Al took Bey because of his continued delusion about a vertical offense.

I have no doubt that Crabtree will be the better pro. He showed excellent hands yesterday and ran some good routes for a guy that missed all of OTAs, training camp and 7 weeks of the season.

[big mike]

5 bucks says he goes diva...

[Reinhardt Amps]

5 bucks says he goes diva...

wow
thats a hell of a limb you are going on on there....... :rotflmao

he's already been diva for months.

[Scott Auld]

thats a hell of a limb you are going on on there.......

Mike's all about the bold predictions :D :boxer:BluesBros:love:

[jimfog]

5 bucks says he goes diva...

Well......that about seals it.


Crabtree has just been guaranteed the "Sportsman of the Year" award.......

Hell, maybe even a Medal of Honor!

:rotflmao:rotflmao:rotflmao

[Scott Auld]

LOL Jim.

Hey, nice hat.

[Bankston]

5 bucks says he goes diva...

Well, it is a diva position. Guys like Andre Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald are the exception rather than the rule.

Holding out was ridiculous but at least Crabtree kept his mouth shut during the whole ordeal.

Whether he's a diva or not has nothing to do with whether he will be a better pro than Heyward-Bey.

[newking70]

so, how are the hot dogs at the stadium? :drool

[ford]

So how did the game turn out???? I kid I kid... :D


At least my Texans took out the hated 49ers for ya.... of course as usual we like to make the ending as close as possible.

:drink
