Oakland Raiders: Time to Rally, Raider Nation!

In times, that people face hard trials, people tend to either buckle under, or find resolve to go on.

Times like these, define people, to their inner power.

As the Nation, the Raiders' fans have seen good times and bad. High moments, and moments when you questioned the ownership.

And even some times, you'd like to trade Al Davis to the college ranks.

But, through thick and thin, we are still Raider fans. We loved that club of rebels, miscreants and cutthroats, because deep inside we all felt that call against the norm.

This is a wakeup call. Don't lose faith in the team. You can hate the owner for doing oddball things, hate the coaches for doing boneheaded calls, and even hate some players who aren't worth a hill of beans.

But, the team, is what you rally around.

Instead of focusing on an ugly loss, focus on the fact, we still have more wins than the Chargers overall.

Instead of hating the fact we got beat by Denver, remember we still own them, head to head....unless we lose for the next 6 years of series.

We still have 3 super bowl rings, the most out of any team in the AFC West.

We still have our pride. Our honor, our dedication.

In the bible, it mentioned the Lord will test us with fire, to see if we are strong enough.

This, is our test, of the Raider Nation.

Will you stand up, or fall away?
