How exactly can you think the Raiders are "close" to winning a playoff game? Both of their lines are questionable at best, I'd be really surprised if they manage to have a rush ypg allowed that finished above 25th in the league next year. Unless you think Tommy Kelly coming off knee surgery is somehow going to be better than the unimpressive player he was at DT without a bum knee. Seriously their D-line is basically a bunch of scrubs and Derrick Burgess.

Whoa! El borracho breaks with the pack & speculates that the #1 Overall Pick Jamarcus Russell might possibly have more upside than 9th round pick Brobie Coyle. Who sez there's a buncha homers on this board?

- Yogi Berra While what you say is true, it is not a true measure of his coaching career. Edwards inherited a veteran team built by Bill Parcells and made it into the playoffs in his first year with a 3rd place finish in the AFC East. He also made the playoffs in the next year with a 9-7 division champion. He left them with a 5-15 record in his last season and a quarter. He inherited a team that was 10-6 the year before in KC and backed into the playoffs with a 9-7 record. Herm's two playoff wins were both against lower seeds. He is 2-5 on opening day, ran Curtis Martin and Larry Johnson into the ground with his conservative play. The one playoff appearance in KC was an offensive embarrassment in which at one point in the third quarter the Colts offense had more first downs than KC had total yards. Herm has done great things with the defense and we had a great draft. I don't believe he is the answer to our playoff/super bowl drought and never will. It's hard to watch his teams play, just that ugly. What else can you expect from a coach that thinks that if his team scores 30 points they should be in the arena league?
