You're the worst ****ing troll. 4th & 48er

All of the resident raider trolls have been. It's laughable

They certainly could do better. They've given up a couple fourth quarter leads.

But in the Bears game they only allowed a net of 11 points. The collapse was shit after Jamaal went out and we missed the field goal, but any offense worth two shits will put up 12 points. I just can't put a defense at fault in a game in which it only allowed 11 points.

And against Denver, the offense and special teams gave them the ball in our territory on three separate occasions. 24 points allowed under those circumstances aren't great by any means, but should have been enough to win the game.

And let's be honest, it was really Jamell Fleming that allowed Manning to march down the field late in that game. If Sean Smith plays that week, you have to imagine we get that W easily, no?

We would have still found a way to lose against Manning. We always have and always will.

How does this actually disagree with ANY of what I said?

I'm talking about 1) talented, 2) finally showing a spark lately, 3) easy schedule ahead.

There's an entirely difference in problem solving when your task is getting a team to;

a) 'run faster, be more powerful, have better instincts, stay healthy'
as opposed to
b) 'get your head out of your ass and play up to your capabilities.'

All that you said could easily be just as much true, even more.

I think we have an outside shot. Wouldn't bet on it though.

Yep. A missed FG and an illegal overloaded line by SD on said missed FG - don't forget that part of it. THEN we got the TERRIBLE call that went against us. The league wanted Rivers in that year and he and the Bolts got in on virtually the last play of the last game of the season. Imagine that...:rolleyes:

I can't stand people who root for us to lose..

100% agree and got your back on this issue

"We're barely over .500 for the first time in 12 years! TIME TO TALK SHIT!"

Well we have had good success against KC when we have been terrible. Oakland fans should be happy. We got a great young core and not just a bunch of retread has beens.

Its a shame that injurys are hurting the best teams. K.C. is one of them.

ROFL

Yup. It's that easy to 'rig' a game in the NFL

One shit call, and it's 'well, **** you Pittsburgh - y'all are staying home and we'll just have to take an "our bad, dawg" on this one...ya gnomesaine?? Sorry. Keep your coach off the field.'

Because you KNOW they have people watching every single call in at the 'command center', right??

And you know, that if they REALLY wanted to get calls correct, that the command center could intervene in cases like the SD game (where officials are majorly blowing calls at the end of the game that directly affect who is allowed to participate in the playoffs)

But they don't care about getting calls 'right', just 'right enough-ish'. If they cared, they would actually enforce rules instead of merely interpreting them.

ROFL no shit

There are some STUPID ****ing people in the world.

To paraphrase Jim Morrison...'a bunch of ****ing idiots.'

Absolutely there is almost total parity in the NFL.

What separates an 'average' team from the good ones is almost always coaching and QB play.

Look at Indy - they were in the AFC Championship Game last year and they have a terrible team.
