After 7yrs the Raiders are still under the Gruden Curse


You guys can say what ya want but I still can't believe we lost superbowl XXXVII ,and what makes matters worst is having to watch the raiders being trashed every week for 7 years.... I've waited for Russell and his crew to bring this Raider team back to the glory it once was , but lets be real.... The raiders will NEVER be good again until Al Davis either retires or die one of the two ,and if some of you guys think tom cable is a good coach and needs more time to develop his players.... well you might as well jump ships cause real fans know the Motto "Just win baby" doesn't work with waiting for something that'll never happen. Having Talent is one thing but it's worthless when people are just there to get their pay checks! Al Davis needs to wake up , This is the year 2009!!! NOT 1980 Football!!! Please more on and give the team to Gruden cause people aren't going come watch a bunch of losers  =/

I totally agree

with you about Gruden. I’ve been saying this for years, and I’ll say it again. The day John Gruden and Bruce Allen left the organiztion, has turned out to be the worst thing that has ever happened to the Raiders. They didn’t see the effects right away, it took a year and an ass handing in the Super Bowl to finally evolve to where we are now. It’s been hurting for 7 years now, with no end in sight. Big AL will never admit it, but he should regret not extending Grudens contract. Who knows why, only Al Davis and Gruden know why. But I say this, why fix it if it ain’t broken? We had a good system in place, and yes Gannon, Rice, and Brown, Eric Allen, Romanowsky, Biekert, Lincoln Kennedy, Rod Woodson were all were getting old and retiring soon, but at least Gruden would have been there to shape and mold the new guys coming in with the same philosophy in place. It just sucks that Al always thinks he can do it better. Now look at us, this is way beyond fixing. Hang on a second, I need to go punch my co worker in the face, he’s a Broncos fan. I’ll be back later guys, have a good day everyone!

John G

Dont know about curses but then again guess we’ll never know what would have happened if AD had given G an extension, one thing is for sure, I dont believe we would be in the sorry, pathetic, embarrasing state we are in. Still, GO RAIDERS!!!
