Soooo.... I suspect that my favorite team Da Raiduhs will make mince meat of at least 2-4 teams this year. So far...from what I saw in preseason... Jamarcus Russel is waaay to immature and it looks like we might have Walter in at some point lol...at least our defense shows....SOME promise if stupid play calling doesn't lose us any more games lol. As for coach Davis...well... the question is when he will kick the bucket and give the team to some one who can actually run the team help to continue not to suck lol...

Here's to another season of being the league's bean bag

PS...I just hope we beat somebody from our division

Odin preserve us from having Walter come in again unless Russel breaks a leg. What he needs to get rid of that immaturity is, frankly, a couple of games getting his head pounded in and his *** kicked with a vigor. Let him take his lumps, scream at his O-line, and smack some wideouts around so they run the routes with precision. He needs to hurt some to get a passion for winning.

The D has potential and no mistake, but they're going to need somebody to step up and lead for them to reach it. On talent alone I say this is easily the 2nd best team in the Division, behind only the Chargers. Unfortunately I'm not convinced, especially after a shaky, mistake filled preseason, that they're going to play up to their talent.

I expect this team to be streaky. If they can get on a run they'll win a couple in a row, but if they get down they'll probably lose a couple in a row. I'm really, really hoping they'll take both from the Broncos this year, and if so I'll call it an 8-8 season, maybe even 9-7.

Yeah. After watching him on the field and on the sideline, I can definitely say that he needs a couple uh good whacks

Oh no it totally does show potential. Though from the watching them as a whole, a couple guys need to step up their coverage strategies or they will get eaten alive by the receivers of the other teams. Not to mention watching their running backs just run right through us several times. I personally like what's his name from last season. The stupid local media turned everyone against him because he was starting over a guy who didn't even go to the freakin training camp!

And that's what is so obvious. We need a guy who will get into the players faces, no matter what side of the line. We just need a leader!

Streaky!? Are you kidding me lol... look at who we play. I'd say between, 4-12 or 6-10 is more realistic. Kiffin just needs to step up his kiddie grade play calling and call actual football plays and stop worrying about Davis.
