In NFL history.

Hard to keep up with the excuses around here....

Do you have a link to this? Or at least some kind of research?

For what it's worth, the Raiders just finished a stretch of playing the 4th, 7th, 9th and 10th best scoring offenses in the NFL.

They now enter a stretch where they'll play Cleveland (27th, 19.0 ppg) - Denver (3rd, 28.9 ppg) - Kansas City (33rd, -14.3ppg) - Carolina (25th, 19.5 ppg) - and San Diego (16th, 22.3 ppg) to finish out the season.

First of all, I don't feel great mocking KC, but it's necessary. Secondly, the schedule lightens up from now until the end.

Finally, statistics tell you where you've been - not necessarily where you're going. Perhaps McClain's suspension will wake some of the players up.

Sorry it took so long to dig it up again, I try really hard to only post things that Ive had some confirmation of.
Sometimes when Im doing the math I cheat a little so I dont have to bust out the calculator window, but if i make a blanket statement like that ,trust me , I wouldnt pull it out of my .... for kicks.

Fair enough.

Five games left. I keep banking on an 'improvement' - but, to date, I haven't seen it after the mini-improvement Oakland showed after the bye-week.

Another stat that has me shaking my head in disgust

Are they behind Notre Dame as well?

Thats just really awful even knowing that lol

The Raiders still have some house cleaning to deal with.

Most Points Allowed, Season
533 Baltimore 1981

We are on path

[Raiders420]

and to think going into the season it was the offense we were worried about because of the addition of the defensive minded HC. So much for that. And it can't be all players, we only lost Routt, Johnson, and Wimbley. If that's the case, then Bresnhan deserves another shot?

lol it is kind of funny ^ , also keep in mind we added great players in Wheeler and Burris so we should be about even with last year

funny in a "i want to throw up" kind of way

For those of you who are extreme optimists, we could still theoretically get the 5th seed in the AFC at 8-8, or the 6th seed at 8-8 or 7-9.

Just wanted to throw that out there for lulz.

No trying to be an *** but what is your definition of great? Because IMO wheeler and Burris are far from great players. They are solid. Great I leave for guys like Willis, Matthews, watt, Suggs, ware. So it really grinds my gears to hear those guys be called great.
