Had Miami as my defense today, and was pissed when I saw the Raiders scored a couple of cheap TDs. Such is my luck in fantasy though.
Agreed... all of that AND the fact that the Raiders, like every team in the AFC West, just aren't that good. All of them have their moments where they're the flavor of the month (currently its Tebow and the Broncos), but all of them have severe flaws that eventually get exposed. The fact that the Raiders gave up a first and second round pick to "go for it" this year makes them the black sheep of the lot.
It's obscene how much they are risking on Carson Palmer. They have a $17.5 million cap hit for the next 3 years and they gave up those picks for a guy who hasn't looked great in 5 years. What a terrible franchise.
all you optimistic armchairs need to give moes a break. after all, the raiders have been even worse than the texans over the past 10 years.. wouldn't YOU be a stubly bitter troll, hiding under your cold wet bridge on a day like this if YOU were a raiders fan?
Miami defense is unbelievable against the run. They have really turned it around. And Reggie Bush scoring 1-2 TDs per game and running well. Raider are also hella injured - so I wouldn't read much into it other than Miami is playing well and Tebow has the AFC west.
This is the first time I've kind of felt bad for Moes, on these boards. I probably shouldn't, but I do.:grin:
Raiders are a weak minded team, much like the Lions. Lots of physical talent, no discipline, step on their throats early and they start to lose their composure. Miami was on a hot streak, playing much better over the past month, they dominated us physically last year, and this year it was no different. I figured they would lose this game so I didn't even watch it, after the UH debacle I was expecting everything to go wrong yesterday and it did. Unlike you homers I understand the strengths and weaknesses of my team because I am not muddled down by blind optimism and hope. Tebow is still a sham of a QB, and I'll go to the grave thinking that. Any of you who are fooled by his defense covering up his weakness are the same sad sack idiots who thought Vince Young would become the Michael Jordan of the NFL. Tebow is the false prophet, Cam Newton is the truth. However, it has become quite clear that Von Miller is defensive player of the year, and the rest of the D is playing well above their heads. It has become all to evident that they will win the division, and I will retire from Clutchfans forever. Swallowing that pill yesterday was increasingly bitter. Peace, armchairs. I'll be gone soon. Keep thinking TJ Yates will lead you to glory.

What? No one expects you to honor a smack talk statement. This place would miss you too much. I am now going to have to (gulp) root for the Raiders to keep Moes around. DD
What would I do without the guy whom I aspire to be? What would I do without the guy whom I aspire to be reminding me that I will never be close to what he is? It would be a sad, sad day. Screw that other guy. Screw Tebow.
The same defense with Kyle Orton starting at QB = 1-4 The same defense with Tebow starting at QB = 6-1
