Just a quick thought on the Raiders

The article said the Raiders have had 7 consecutive 11 loss seasons. That really opened my eyes into just how badly Al Davis drafts. I know JA isn’t the greatest, but compared to AL Davis he is godly. Think about it, 7 years of having probably a top 5 pick after every single year and they continue to squander it on players that seem to either get injured, not produce, or just have terrible work ethics.

When me and a friend of mine were watching the draft this last year and Al Davis took DHB over Crabtree we just broke out laughing. What did DHB do this year? Johnny Knox had a way better year and he was a 5th round pick lol.

I think the problems with the Raiders will eventually get better when Al Davis steps down and hires a GM that will at least make the Raiders respectable and not the NFL laughing stock for years to come.

That’s hilarious! I couldn’t lie to myself…I’m an armchair quarterback who does his best work with 20/20 hindsight…

Robbie Gould

is unofficially the most accurate Kicker in the NFL

if you include post-season numbers, Gould is the most accurate kicker in NFL history

I hope Time Spencer doesnt leave because when he coached for OSU...

when he coached for OSU he lived down the street from me and I was good friends with his son Evan, it was really cool to “know” one of the bears coaches. Heres hoping he stays!

We didn't say we could run and NFL franchise...

just that we could do a better job than some of the people holding positions in the Bears management. There a difference!

Mos def

Although, I’d alter it to “where apparently 70% of Bears fans could run an NFL franchise into the ground like the McCaskeys and Ted Phillips!”
