There has been a lot of doom and gloom around here lately, and rightfully so. Getting blown out by a combined 80 points in two games will do that to any franchise, especially one that has been on the rise after so many years of mediocrity like ours. Well I read a fanpost on another blog that made me realize what a little whiny bitch I've become these last two weeks. It even helped me to start sipping the Kool-Aid once again. Here is the post from OMGitsjamerson on raiderfans.net:
Look at all the big contributors on this team whom has been hurt for an extended period of time:
Jano (hammy)
Campbell (IR basically) he was having a great season managing the team
Mcfadden (Lis franc)
Ford (2 foot injuries)
Hiram (IR)--- Pro Bowl caliber ST player
Shaugnessey (IR)
Reece (ankle)
R. Brown (IR) --- ST contributor
Taiwan Jones (undisclosed)
Chris Johnson (sports hernia)
DVD (hammy)
Chekwa (IR)
Goethel (IR) he was having a solid preseason
now lets look at whom play has been affected by injury
Mike Mitchell (undisclosed) he has been playing hurt up until this day
Huff (ankle) see broncos debacle especially Decker td
Seymour (?) he was hurt w/ 2 separate leg injuries
Satele besides being weak we don't need him to be at half strength cuz his full strength is weak
Rolando (ankle) he been playing hurt most of the season but we couldnt bench him due to lack of depth
Boss
DHB (neck) he has not been the same since that neck injury that was evident in the Packers game because he was so stiff
Moss (ankle)
Henderson (?)
Before all of these injuries we were a forced to be reckoned with. That's just the way the ball has rolled, I commend Hue for not lying down after Campbell went down. Let's be honest Palmer is better than Campbell but he has yet to play with all his weapons. No games with D MAC 1 quarter with ford (Queefs game doesn't count) 2 games with D Moore 6 quarters with Taiwan. I can't wait to see what he does once he learns the playbook and has mini camp, training camp and preseason to his resume. How many QBs u know step in on a new injured team mid season after his retirement and lights it up???? CRICKETS yea i thought so
Yes Chuck B needs to go because his def is a crap shoot and we cant stop a high school team. there is too much talent on the defense to play the way we have all season. The only reason he our d coordinator is because he was the only person on our staff with coordinator exp. he was brought in to be linebackers coach nothing more (THANK YOU LOCKOUT)
Hue has done a wonderful job with this makeshift team ever since the browns game.
OAN: Palmers INTs only 5 were his fault D Moore cause 1 Murphy caused 4 n the Queefs game doesn't count he only knew 15 plays. Wait til he gets comfortable with his weapons and this team will be SCARY
We're 7-6 and the season is not over but with all these injuries i'll be content with 9-7..ecstatic with a playoff appearance.... You can't build a franchise overnight..... IN HUE WE TRUST.... JUST WIN BABY
Stop bad mouthing our team let's be realist and this is the story of the Raiders season pre week 15
