in al's house

i’ve been a fan since i was ten. after bleeding red, white, and blue i will bleed out silver and black, so understand that I AM a raider fan thru and thru. i’ve always went with but not always understood al’s logic, guess that’s what makes him al davis. its easy to sit in your own house with list of shit and breakdown someone that works for you. its easy to sit in your own house and say i didn’t want to win this in the press and then try and do just that. i’ve said it before, it’s your sports car al, if you want to wreak it, go for it, but quit trying to pull me in the car with you. ALL OF THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN FEBURARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the fact that its drag on to the bye week shows you were asleep at the wheel or you’re just too god damn greedy, whichever, i don’t care. Tom Cable seems like a very capable coach and i hope and pray with all my heart that he turns out great for this team. because seriously al, i’m tired of losing….tire of gettin’ beat by the overrated donkey’s and chargers….and just plain tired of the circus that swirls around oakland and alameda. i will never surrender my silver and black to anyone. so, no more games, no more circus….just live up the mantra’s….‘commitment to excellence’ and ‘just win, baby’

Al

has to die for this thing to get turned around. He’s like a dan snyder and a matt millen hybrid. raider nation has suffered the most loses in the past 5 years with the exception of lions.

Is it really Al?

11 of the past 20 games the Raiders have led going into the 4th quarter, is that Al’s fault they lost those games?
Does he not spend money? You can always argue that he spent money on the wrong guy. But then again so do a lot of other teams. This team is very close but it is not easy to win in this league. Pitts. should have lost last night, but didn’t. We have suffered for 5 years because we did not have a QB, now I think we have one. Last week we lost because we had only one back, and he is running too cautiously, afraid of fumbling. If Cable can get the running attack going, and if Russell will learn to throw short out passes then maybe we can move the chains a bit, and keep the defense off the field, maybe.

What IS the current back situation now? I don’t even really know anymore. Will anyone be 100% in a week and a half?

YES it is Al.

I know fans have a tough time seeing things without rose colored glasses. but from the outside looking IN it’s very obvious its al…. Does 20-61 not mean anything? How about all the high overly priced FA’s that Al brings in. How is it that most coaches will say they DONT want to be a coach for Al Davis? It took maybe a few weeks until Randy Moss saw how bad the org was and got lazy. Al wants to do everything his way, which is clearly the wrong way. That’s like saying “Matt millen isn’t a player out there, or hes not a coach out there.”

It is AL!

Since 1995 (my numbers might be a little off) but we have had like 3 winning seasons. We where .500 3 times and had 7 losing seasons. So yes I would say it is Al. Or do we blame every single coach that coached them. Take ownership Al YOU are much to blame for this as anybody.

I love Al Davis.

I fully support every move he’s ever made. I hope he lives and owns the raiders for many years to come. To put this post in context, I am a devout Broncos fan.
