give Gradkowski a full week of pratice and see what happens. It has to be a big uplift to the rest of the offense to have someone under center that plays like he wants to win. I would like to see what he does with a full game and Russell will not beat the chargers. Give the kid a chance, that's my vote.

Cable said, "for the first time I thought he was really out of sorts early in the game.

First time, eh, Tom? Proof that even the coach now is drinking Al's kool aid.

look at how they played the eagels look how they played now the jets al davis dont want to win he's going to try to move them back to l.a. with that new staidium g he's going to lose as much as he can so the people want them to leave

I disagree with benching Russell in this game. Any other of the wonderful games we have played he should have been bench, but not this one. For the first time since he became a raider, he had some fire and not just let it go. For the first time he was a cheerleader even when the defense had the ball. The fumble and the first int was clearly not good play, but the second one was him trying to make something happen, not the right through but not bad. The defense was playing great against the run until they pulled Russell, that seemed to take the wind out of the defenses sails and they just seemed not to care anymore. I have been against Russell for most of his career, but if he is finally bringing the fire and trust from at least his defense give him a chance.

Well, well, well...

We stayed the course with fat boy and his lazy ways. We dismissed any real competition between him and a superior (although old and tempermental) rival making sure in the process that he would never return to help. So here we are, Jet slapped, Donkey slapped, Bolt slapped, G-men slapped (and raped), lucky in KC, and holding one legit W from McNabb and Co. at what is it now? 76/103

Richard, I don't see a playoff in your future unless you quit and go elsewhere. I feel sorry for you, I do. DHB, you suck. O-line, you suck as a unit, not just as individuals. Advice to Gallery: Stay hurt, get traded. Aso, I bet you're re-thinking that off season contract you could have gotten anywhere else (you too Shane). Kifffen shut up. You suck too and always did. To the unknowing and talented few new guys pressed into high dollar servitude on this once proud laughing stock ( I count like 9 of you) and Fargas. Hmmph...I don't know what to say. But without the other 44 and coaches you guys are just gonna' suck too. Your level of play will sadly drop to the level of your loser peers as you too lose hope and career opportunities. Here's hoping you got meaningful degrees in college and can move on later in life without permanent psychological damage. Remember once your a loser, it translates to other things just like winning does.

Al, can the Raiduhs really win with JR? Is he really that good? Do his numbers tell you? Oh yeah, the coach you never met told you. No, no...you told him. And what of McInjured? Did your gypsy fortune teller say he would be the answer? Because if she did, you should let her coach. She's a winner!

If there is an extra $80-$100 million to spare (you know) just laying around, can we buy some other broken down POS to QB and/or coach this bunch of poorly coached, poorly led, poorly motivated, wretchedly overpaid, no talent misfits you call Raiders?

I wish you loved this team as much as I do Al. I'll praise them when they deserve it. I'll continue to watch and hope. I'll continue to wear my gear and be ridiculed by everyone who knows that footballs have laces. I'm 50 and fear that I may die before you Mr. Davis and never see a true return to excellence. OMG, I have become you. The only difference is that I can see the problem. It's in your mirror. This just sucks. You know, I shook hands with you Mr Davis in Tokyo when the Raiders played the Packers there in the late 90's. I was so proud and excited. Now I just want to cut that contaminated flesh off my body and send it back. Al you suck. You are the one thing my father taught me to loathe the most, a disappointment(in every respect). And now so are the Raiders. You have ripped me off you sorry old waste of skin...and oh yeah, moving to LA won't help. They've seen your show on TV stupid.

This week was almost as bad as the Titans loss to New England last week. Mark Sanchez even had time for a hot dog on the sideline during the game. How do we play so good against a quality team like Philly and so bad against the Jets, who had lost three in a row before the Raiders gift? The game was over in the the first quarter. Russell can't turn the ball over repeatedly and expect to keep playing. This is the most screwed up I've seen any professional team from the owner to the players since Marge Schott owned the Cincinnati Reds. The Raiders are hard to watch on weeks like this one.
