What are the chances of that getting a ludicrous amount of comments? Much higher than anything else I’ve ever written. Why? I don’t really know; outside of it’s about the Oakland Raiders.

Apparently a Raider article will always garner a response not only from most of the Raider fans who take part in bleacherreport.com but at least one 49rs fan who will respond negatively and I might say rather immaturely to anything and everything the Raider fans say.

In the end I do appreciate the passion of the raider nation; in fact I wish I could see even a small portion of it within the fans of my favorite team the Patriots.

However I’ll admit I could really do without the blind faith some of the raiders fans show. I agree that McFadden could be great, but your quarterback is still untested, your defense still has holes, and your offensive line and wide receiver core could use some upgrading. So let’s not declare anything to early, let’s wait and see how well the team does in preseason where we can all get a better sense of what they can do against other teams.

And if we’re going to start a string of comments, could we all try and play nice?
