Sunday Morning Bloody Mary: The Super Bowl Is Being Played Eary This Year

by Raymond St. Martin (Saint) on Dec 5, 2010 10:50 AM PST

At 5-6, the Oakland Raider Season is teetering on the ropes like an old boxer that is past his prime and is poised to be passed in his weight class. While once the leaders of the AFC West, it was only two weeks ago, the Raiders are now fighting for their 2010 Playoff lives.

There may not be a heartbeat, but, there is a pulse.

The Oakland Raiders are invading San Diego today and the Chargers just happen to be the best at moving the ball AND stopping the ball in the NFL. That sounds a lot like the Raiders of 5 weeks ago, so, let's hope that we get the good Raiders and NOT the bad Raiders today.

I need some help Nation. My faith is wavering. After seeing the absolute abomination in Pittsburgh and the "Lost" game against the Dolphins, all I can think about is the fact that Cable, "The Dunderhead", has built a losing team that thought they were Kings of the World when they were 5-4 and leading the AFC West. I need for this team to show me that they still the team that we all had faith in.

My Three Keys To The Game:

1) McFadden has GOT to get off. The key to our offense in 2010 is Darren Mcfadden. It isn't Jason Campbell,Jjacoby Ford or Zach Miller, it is the young runner out of Arkansas FINALLY looking like a game changer.

In the last two games COMBINED Darren McFadden has only run for 16 yards. 16 YARDS!!!

2) Jacoby Ford needs to play some DB. He is the best on the team at snaring passes from the air and taking them away from the opposition. This team has a total of SIX (31st in the NFL) interceptions on defense while Jacoby has two on offense, by himself. The Raiders need to force three turnovers today in order to have any chance at winning.

3) Jason Campbell needs to show that he owns this team. Putting Gradkowski on IR has eliminated all QB controversy and it is time for JC to take the reigns and lead this team to victory.

That is all I have for now. Go RAIDERS!!!

ENJOY WITH ABSOLUT RESPONSIBILITY®

Dmac is our key.

I realized this when he was out for the Niners game. I truly feel with him there in SF we would have come away with a victory. He has been bad for 2 games. I dont know if its all him but, the lack of a decent passing game really hurts when you want to run the ball. All we need is a game manager that can back the defense up. This way our duo of running backs plus reece can have a bit more room to breath.

This is Cambell’s time. Its his team going forward and hes got the rest of this season to show us why we stick with him. Ive been on the Cambell ship since the start of the season, largley because of Grads lack of ability. Cambell has to win some games and show some leader ship.

Lets hope our defense doesnt have to stay on the field as you said. We have to control time of possession or Rivers will have a field day. Look at Henne, now insert MVP caliber QB.

Go Raiders, we did it once lets do it again! DEFUSE THE CHARGERS!!

Im fuckin ready for some FOOTBALL!!!

this is the televised game here in the UK

Finally no scrambling about the interweb, trying to find a stream, and it’s a game that could go one of two ways. We can regain our respectability (regardless of outcome) and maybe edge a win, or we can be hopeless again. I hope it’s the former, and I’m not normally a praying man, but if you’re up there Superman…

lucky you

cbs is supposed to have the double header today, but i live in albuquerque nm, so i have to watch the fuckin fagboys, so i’ll be searching the web

yeah it's strange that it's the CBS games that are on here

As they’re on Sky Sports which is part of Murdoch’s evil empire, so I would have thought it would be Fox games that are shown. Still, not complaining.

I want to be the modern day version of Super Mario Brothers!!! Dont care for *shrooms*, but would love to *get large* and *spit fire*...unless im constantly told "thanks, but your girl is in another castle". That would rate a 8.9 on the ole *Suck-ometer*!!!

I think today has

Two paths it could take. Either we get blown out or we cut out a close win. Let’s do this! Go Raiders!

i think we'll find out real fast how this games gonna go

At this time, the running game is what it's about

I seriously doubt that Schilens will make a difference because, he like Aso and Zack, is hobbling and if he plays, I think it is going to show.

this is it.

if there isnt a turnaround this week vs a hot team in the bolts, then its all over.
the progress, taking the big steps and all that nonsense
is sheer all talk if cable doesn’t step it up and come with a solid gameplan.

I still say this clown needs to go after blowing it vs Pitt and Miami.
When JC admits the team lost its edge after the bye, it is not acceptable.
Having two weeks to prepare to fight Pitt and they walk in there and put on the “performance” they did only to make it worse and follow it up with what looked to be the worst game of the year. Unacceptable, Cable.

Back in wk 5 when they beat San Diego, I saw a team play tough and FIGHT for 4 qtrs to take it to that chump Rivers. It was no surprise like many, I felt that the team might actually be on the verge of something. Turns out it was a fluke.
Today we have DMAC playing vs SD something that we were lacking in wk 5 so I expect the same effort and then some since they now know what it takes to beat SD.
Everyone is beatable. It just takes a Coach who can game plan and get his players ready to execute. The talent is there. Time to nut up or shut up boys.
As for schillens, JLH. its over. if you cant catch, you cant play. and if you cant play then youre cut. Get us some solid WRs already.
