I haven't written much about the
Oakland Raiders lately and quite frankly it has been due to the lack of
leadership and effort that has been displayed by not only the players, but the
coaching staff as well (13 seasons worth). I was a firm believer that the
necessary firing of the lop, Dennis Allen was going to provide at least some
positive feedback. However, this proved to be feeble and wishful thinking on my
end.
I’m not even going to fully recap
and provide my commentary on the Raiders most recent performance against Cleveland,
because all it would do is rub more salt on my wounds of how disgusted I am
with this season’s performance. I will though
comment that I at least thought we were going to see our first win of the
season, due to the Browns entering the game with the NFL’s worst-ranked rush defense
and the small offensive turnaround that the Raiders started to display in week
6.
Our next game is in Seattle and
though the Seahawks aren’t playing nearly as well as last season, they still are
a difficult match, especially in their home turf.
Get back to the basics of Raider
football and don’t ever incorporate Matt Schaub into play schemes again and we might
see at least one win this year.
