Al Davis about ready to fire Kiffin
God, what a mess. I truly sympathize with all Raiders fans out there. One of the two definitely needs to go, but it ain't Kiffin.

Re: Official 2008-09 NFL thread
Eh... what are ya gonna do about it. Al hired Kiffin and told him to do whatever it takes to fix the team. Kiffin tried during the offseason by getting rid of our defensive coach Ryan, but old man Al Davis said, "I don't think so," and that's when the problems started. At least he has a season to do as much as he can to fix it and improve the team with what he has. Right now we look okay but that's only the first quarter...

Whew....
Sorry 'bout that Martok. Vikes played a real tough game.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

I'm not sorry. It means there's only 15 more weeks to go until Brad "The Village Idiot" Childress is gone for good!
For that matter, Tarvaris is now hanging on by a thread as well. I give him two more games. If he doesn't noticeably improve by then, I predict we'll have Frerotte in at QB starting in October.

Entertaining first half. Right now, the Eagles are up, and I have faith that they'll close the deal.

Not a good day for me. First Rick Wright dies, now we lose to Dallas. At least it was a good game.

HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS
In all honesty that was the best game I've seen in a while. The Eagles are a team to be reckoned with

Re: Official 2008-09 NFL thread
That was the best Monday Night Football game I've seen in a long while. Many times they turn into blowouts, not worth watching after the first half. But that game was spectacular.
That said, the Cowboys have serious discipline problems. Way too many facemask penalties and personal fouls. After the first two touchdowns (quick strikes), I was wondering about the Cowboys D, they were on the field for a very long time. They pulled it out in the end, but I'm not sure they can be depended on in the long run. Props to the Eagles, even with scrub receivers they have a potent offense and Westbrook continues to scare the crap out of me when he gets the ball. Both offenses looked unstoppable, and should run rampant over their schedules this season.
The NFC East is strong, and should put 3 teams in the playoffs (and the 'Skins aren't one of them). Division wins are going to be tough to come by this year, but the rest of the NFC should be worried.
How about those Cowboys!

Agreed. And I've been watching for a lo-o-o-o-ng time.

Re: Official 2008-09 NFL thread
I'm not sure I agree. Allot of those face-masks were not intentional more a crime of passion than anything else. However this does not excuse our piss poor defensive play esp our pass rush we had McCnab dead to rights at least 3 times and he squirmed his way out. We are way to talented to allow 2nd and 3rd chances. That being said I was extremely impressed with Felix Jones on the return game and Zach Thomas proved he still has gas left in the tank.That was the best Monday Night Football game I've seen in a long while.

Re: Official 2008-09 NFL thread
Neither team generated any pass rush (until the Cowboys in the end). And I don't think it's a defensive problem, both O-lines played very well. Without the pass rush, the QBs picked apart the secondaries.
Roy Williams broke his arm and will be out for 3 weeks.
Martok, you might want to call the Metrodome staff and tell them to install extra padding on the walls and supports. Just to be safe.

Re: Official 2008-09 NFL thread
I stand by this post. Lots of talent, but they need coaching and discipline. Can't say I'm too disappointed, I don't want TO to get a ring so I'm not too bummed. This never would have happened if Landry was still the coach.
Out of the NFC, Atlanta/Carolina (depending on consistency). AFC, I'm saying Indy, Tennessee, or Pittsburgh.
