What Raider hate? Raider fans, for all the tough guy imagery they want to put out there, are the softest fan-base in terms of how they complaint and whine about the media, yada, yada, yada...

Seriously; the schtick is old and tired.

For years, before the '03, '04, '05, '06 et. seasons, all they whined about is how the media hates, and how dare they predict 3-4 win seasons. Yeah, 'cause you had to be just stupid to think that.

Now, they are featured all over the place; ESPN has nothing but superlatives on how they played, so has DMAC et. Lil' Wiz was rookie of the week, D.Moore wont he award last week, DMAC getting props as ground player of the week by the league, all the outlets, from CBS sports, and everything in between has written stories about how Hue is reviving them and the team has a dump load of youth and the team to watch out for...

Yet, those big bad Raider fans and still ______!ng, "we don't get enough props...," "the media hates...," "the NFL has a conspiracy...,"

Yep. I was a fan as a kid when they were in LA. Later on I became more of a fan on the 49er but only due to having a player as a neighbor. I will say once they left LA they were dead to me just like the lambs.

LOL at Jags field. The have half the arrows on yards pointing the wrong way.

 

[Centurion]

Born and raised in LA. Watched both the Rams and the Raiders when they were here.

Never was a fan of either.
That said, you got to recognize that the Raiders are doing very well this season.

I decided a long time ago that I didn't want to sport the Raiders clothes when all the cholos were wearing them too.

 

[Darth Cruel]

I thought the Raiders were allowed in the NFL solely for the purpose of having a team to hate.

Dez Bryant looked like a luxury pick for Jerry Jones last year, especially when Dallas needed help on the O line and in the secondary (primarily at safety), but he looks well worth that first round pick. The three most physically talented receivers in the game are Bryant, Calvin Johnson, and Andre Johnson. If Bryant can only keep himself healthy and on the field, he could be as devastating as those two receivers.

Good thing the Texans keep drawing these penalties to keep the Steelers alive.

 

[DinoDB1975]

So, for the first time this season, Minnesota is NOT leading at the half...maybe this means they come back and win?

I know it's pissing me off. The blocked FG just amazes me how they could ____ up that play. Last week it was their red zone offense now it's dumbass penalties.

 

[DinoDB1975]

Just saw the replay of Andre Johnson going down after catching the pass off a bootleg from Schaub. Nobody touched him, and that didn't look good at all...EDIT: According to reports, only a hamstring injury.

And the all white Buffalo unis look DAMN good.

 

[gotham_collector87]

Yeah when I saw it and he grabbed his leg I thought he blew out his knee somehow. Hopefully it's not serious.

 

[DinoDB1975]

Romo with a FIVE TD game...and he's still got a quarter to go.

Unfortunately, two TDs were to the other team.

 

[ProgMatinee]

The Dal and Det game is getting good.

 

[Darth Cruel]

I enjoyed the Steelers/Texans game despite the fact that my boys lost.

 

[gotham_collector87]

Damn I glad my Texans found a way to win. Big Ben is a tuff bastard though. What a game!!!

I really don't know how we beat em with all those stupid penalties.
