So we've reached the end of another regular season. While we did finish on somewhat of a high note, knocking those Bucs out of the playoffs...Let's face it, 5-11 is still 5-11. Most of us can never remember a more dreary time for our team than the past few years.
So I ask you, Raider Nation, what is next? Will Al Davis finally wake up from his coma and realize that we need a GM and a head coach that...Hold your breath...Actually coaches and deals with trouble-making players?
Or does he beat around the bush for several months interviewing for the head coaches that will stand on the sideline like a statue as Al once again tries to run everything from his luxury box?
When the draft rolls around in a few months, what will we do? Will we actually draft some linemen or possibly a receiver or two? Or will those fast DBs be too much temptation?
Free agency, you ask? How about our guys...Like Nnamdi and Shane, they need to be tied up first before we squander any more money on rejects like Javon "Champagne" Walker and DeMarshmallow Hall?
I guess the biggest question for us all is what will WE do? Well Nation, if the answers to these previous questions are the same as they have been for the past several years, I can tell you exactly what I will be doing.
I will NOT be attending any games. I will NOT be buying any merchandise. And I will NOT even subscribe to the Sunday Ticket this year. I have watched Al run this team into shambles for far too long.
Until Al begins showing a "Commitment to Excellence" and a true "Just Win, Baby" attitude...I, my friends...am out.

Don't give up Raider Rodney. We will be back to glory soon. Please do not be a fair weather fan. You have to accept the good with the bad. How do you think San Diego, Detroit, New Orleans, Seattle, Arizona etc. fans feel? They have had bad runs for decades. Don't lose hope man.

Appreciate the comment. I'll never bail on the Raiders bud...but I do feel like Al has bailed on us the past few years. I will wear every stitch of Raider stuff I have and support my team but not with my money until things do change.

Whats new. Well I've been a Raiders fan since 1967. I am a flight mechanic so I have seen them in most stadiums. I Live north of Dayton Ohio. Every person I know everywhere I go knows I'm a Raiders fan. I blead and wear this silver and black all year every year. My wife is from Denver and I went to highschool with John Elway. GHHS class of 79. So I have a very interesting life. But as much as I love the Raiders. Al Davis once again wants to change the Raiders colors. P.S. He changed them in 1981 from Intimidating Flat Black to Hollywood Shiny Black. Flat Black your vision stops . Shiny Black your vision reflects. Dumb move Al. But you wanted to go Hollywood. Now its said he wants Green and Yellow. Well AL you wear the Yellow. Raiders Fans are Silver and Black. And if you do change the colors . Dambit change the name too. Its an insult to every person in the Raiders Nation. And if you just want to sell more merchadise . quit changing coaches and let the coaches coach/ because you cant do it anymore from up there. If you were to start winning the stuff would sell. You have won 1 superbowl with the Shiny colors . but those Boys came from Oakland and had an attitude and played football. Except god bless Marcus Allen. And still had a Oakland coach. At your age Al you should talk to you fan base . they know what they want , your becoming a politition. changing the rules making them one sided and pissing off the peaple. Check it out . Flat black is the most intimdating clolor. Its a color of winners. I have studied colors because I am colorblind. 1 out of 15 males are. So AL you can win or lose . To Win Change back to Flat black uniforms and back to "JUST WIN BABY" or change the colors , the history , the comitment , the atmousphere, and who cares what else . you wont have a fan base.
