it's too bad they don't have a qb, and their secondary seems apathetic at times, waiting for the dline to make a play.

Wow, Buffalo 2 and 0. With the way Buffalo and Jax have been splitting games every meeting, this one makes for an awesome rivalry!

Trent Edwards was nearly perfect today... so close. I guess now's a good time to mention my youngest son's name is Trenton Edward...

If Cassel's first 10 passes are any indication, the Pats are going to be just fine without Brady.

Moose is back and he's going to have far more weapons then they did fo their Super Bowl run, if they stay healthy that is.

Oh Darren how we've waited for you here in Oakland. 89 yards on that drive in 3 plays, that was the best drive for the Raiders in 6 years.

That's how you know how bad the Chiefs are. Losing to a not very good Raiders team twice at home is just pathetic (I do give Oakland some credit though, they did a pretty good job today). While I was iffy last season, I am now certain it can be laid at the feet of Herm. They could have won that game at New England, but they had the worst play calling I've ever seen. It wasn't any better today. What they were thinking putting the third string QB in at all let alone as soon as they did I'll never know. I want Herm canned before the end of the season. Hopefully Carl will go after the season is over and Chan Gailey can go with both of them. Bring Al Saunders back and let him be the head coach like they should have done when Vermeil retired. Or go after Cowher, or even bring Marty back.

It's probably not a good sign that for most of today, Oakland's best player was their kicker and the Chiefs their punter. McFadden stepped it up though.

I had no idea Manning would throw over 250 yards with 3 TDs.

Dellohme has thrown 124 yds with 0 TDs.....

way to pick wrong....

You thought Delhomme against the Bears D would do better than Manning against the Rams? I don't feel sorry for you at all.

marv lewis should've been fired two years ago maybe, but definitely after last year. the team has no emotion.

I'm almost hoping they stink it up for a few more weeks (which I'm sure they will) so we can see about getting some coaching changes. Lewis only finished above .500 once, and that was only because of a huge turnover ratio in favor of the Bengals. They were forcing 4 turnovers a game that year. However, the biggest problem is the fucking owners of the team. They are the main cause of the problems.
