Raiders At Cowboys Thanksgiving Day Nov. 26
For sure I'm going!!!!
gotta agree with bits and pieces of each poster here.
teams are built in the trenches first.
top 10 picks are supposed to be for game-changing, phenom-level talent.
you can get very good lineman in later rounds. just look at the colts and pats. they have a lot of late round picks, or even undrafted picks, and constantly have damn good players on their lines.
the janikowski pick was definitely one of the worst picks ever in terms of desicion-making. sure, he turned out to be a real good kicker, and probably has the strongest leg the league has ever seen. but they probably could have still gotten him (or some other servicable kicker) in a later round.
Raiders At Cowboys Thanksgiving Day Nov. 26

wow im definitely going too
How did the Raiders get another MNF opening night game? They got smashed like 26-0 back in 2006 vs the Chargers, and got smoked this past year vs the Broncos.
probably cuz
1. they have a lot of interesting young talent, like McFadden and Russell.
2. they are the raiders. they, along with the cowboys and packers are a historical type team, kinda like the lakers, celtics, and bulls in the NBA. everyone always knows who they are and how they are doing.
I hear the Raiders and Chargers are wearing they're AFL apparel in Week 1. should be cool.
maybe for the Raiders.
If the chargers wear that baby blue uniform again, then they deserve to get punched in the face
I thought this was going to be a thread bashing Iron Mexican. I was going to step in and stand up for him. He's one of the only Laker fans on here that aren't completely full of themselves.
I am way more obnoxious when it comes to the Raiders. If the Raiders ever start doing good, all of you guys are going to ing hate me. I'd gloat till I ing die if the Raiders manage to win one Super Bowl while I'm alive.
For those who don't know what the old AFL jerseys look like, because that's what they are gonna be wearing week one, here:

lol...as a Cowboys fan, it'll be fun to talk with you before Thanksgiving..![]()
And a poke in the eye will be a of a lot easier..lol
The more I think about it, if he falls to them, the Raiders need to draft Crabtree. He is a perfect bail-out type of guy to help out Russell with his development. If they can just get at least slightly more blocking out of their line (which i like the moves they have made in regards to it so far). That will allow Miller to not have to stay in and block so much as well, giving Russell another good recieving target. Then you got a speedster in Higgins, a vet in Walker, and a big, fast guy with potential in Schillens. I also would have liked to have seen what Drew Carter could have done. Too bad he got hurt so early.
Then in the run game, having Oren back will definitely help the running crew. I'd like to see what a healthy McFadden and Bush can do. I still think that they should trade Fargas and get as much possible out of him, before he gets too old, and completely loses his value.
I'm really feeling good about the Raiders progressing this season. Unfortunately they got a pretty tough schedule... if they could finish 7-9 or 8-8, that would be really good.
That's why they signed Khalif Barnes. I think Crabtree should be the pick as long as Raji isn't there. The Raiders are one of the three worst run D's in the NFL forever.
I am pumped to see Oren O'neal back too. I don't want to trade Fargas because he was here, waited for Kaufman, Wheatley, Jordan, and even Rhodes before he finally got his time to shine. Al Davis gave him The Commitment To Excellence Award, so no way he trades him.Then in the run game, having Oren back will definitely help the running crew.

It would be tough to finish 8-8. I think they play the AFC South and NFC East this year.
They should trade their 1st round pick to the Chiefs for Larry Johnson, and then sign him to a long-term deal making him the highest paid player in NFL history.
Well, that's not what they should do, but it's probably what they will do. They are the Raiders after all.
This is the old school jerseys that the original AFL teams will be wearing at some point during the season.
funny how all the head coaches showed up to show these off...except Belichick
mcdaniels must feel re ed holding the jersey of his ty soon to be ex-QB.
That's probably because Billichick didn't show up to the NFL Owners meeting.
I heard the Raiders were interested Louie Sakoda out of Utah.
Oh I agree. I'm not expecting them to do so. But if they somehow did, they would be a of an accomplishment.
I like Aluminum Mexican. He's a good poster.
They had a pretty good run soon afterwards didn't they? Considering special teams was a weakness going into that draft. They got a solid kicker and an All-Pro punter, both of which they have to this day.
Raiderfan.net is the best message board for Raider discussion by far. They break more news that the other boards too. Good traffic flow, so it's always up to date. No old topics on the front page.
Yeah, I signed up. Just started posting there today. I haven't been this excited and optimistic about seeing the Raiders since their SB year.
