Sue the league all you want and there will never be repercussions. NOT. Once again we see Miller's jersey defy gravity, like it was not yanked. So here we are discussing bad calls, worse play calls, and worse yet personal fouls.

Thank god it is only the first week and things can only get better. We see our own game plan played against us. However they could not stop our run. We stopped their run. Had no answer for Royal the rookie. So now our supposed top flight pass defense is reduced to rubble???

They ran to set up the pass.

They threw caution to the wind, and all balls to the unknown commodity we were not prepared for. Once again Shanahan gets the best of us.

Ryan calls four blitzes total. Grounds for his much discussed non dismissal last year.

Wow.

Could things be any worse. Probably not.

However, forced to pass after our third possesion, there were no suprises. Weak line, inexperienced young qb. No recievers to make catches to retain possesion.

As horrible as things may seem. The defense held aside from all the mental breakdowns from Hall. Only the blindest of optomists did not see those coming.

I still think the Raiders can win some games, and play some solid smash mouth football.

But.

Thats it. If we get more than one touch behind, pay no mind.

It will be an ugly, horrible sight to see.

Nail biting the whole way.

More lucky plays than good.

I say bring the blitz.

Pound the rock.

Cover the slot with someone besides a linebacker.

A bush on the sideline gets Kiffin the bird.
