Raiders Lose: So what else is new?
The Raiders hosted the Colorado Ponies today...Oh, the Broncos. At any rate it didn't matter cause my Men In Black still lost, 31- 17 was the score, like you didn't already know. Kerry Collins really worked his arm today, maybe too much, connecting 26/50 for 310 yards. Not bad except he still likes guys on other teams. "Hey, in this play lets pass to Champ Bailey!". Kerry, C.B IS NOT A RAIDER. Let's keep it interesting though, "Let's pass to Nick Ferguson, but let him return for substantial yardage this time." Again, NOT A RAIDER! So that's two (2) INT's, one for 18 yards, the last returned for at least 20. But Kerry did see it in his heart to get the ball to someone on OUR SIDE to score a TD. Twice even. How gracious. The heartbreaker and momentum killer being the INT for an 80 yard TD. Again, Kerry, DARRENT WILLIAMS IS NOT A RAIDER!!!
I can't say the penalties were a deciding factor in this game, of course with the Raiders, we've come to expect at least four of 'em. We didn't dissappoint. 9 for 58 yards...GO TEAM!!! As for our defense, we were owned, just straight up owned. Plummer should have been plowed many times, yet he bloomed. I just can't see how we can even think about a winning streak starting with this kind of play. Sure, the Ponies were rested, no excuse. Maybe we were still reeling from that heartbreaker with K.C. Not sure, but we sure sucked today.
Next week, we face the Redskins in Washington. Maybe we can squeek out a win there. I still have hope cause there's still plenty of football left to this season. I just hope the Raiders pull it together from here on and realize that they can catch a spot in the playoffs. I know I know, who am I kiddin, right?

You're still holding on to hope? Man, why do you do it to yourself? As long as Kerry Collins is quarterback and Norv Turner is coach, our Raiders don't have a prayer. I said it when Norv got here and the day when Rich went down with the broken neck, "We're in for it!" And they haven't disappointed..er..let me down...er..proven me wrong. Kerry Collins has been washed up for years now. Maybe it was when he got whooped in the Super Bowl by the Ravens, maybe it was when Romo broke his jaw, I don't know and I don't care. I honestly feel like we're back to the days where we have sucky quarterbacks. Remember Marc Wilson? Todd Marinovich? How about Jay Schroeder? You know, except for Jeff Hostetler and Rich Gannon, the Raiders haven't had a decent quarterback since way back when Jim Plunkett still played. Sheesh!! It's over dude! Bring in the rookie and let us see what he can do.
