After watching yesterday's games, I am convinced the Raiders are an 8-8 team...if they were playing the Lions every week!

IMO the WR depth chart listing should be this:
1. Murphy/Schillenz
2. Schillenz/Murphy
3. Fargas/McFadden or Higgins or if 4-wide no TE it should be Zach Miller
4. DHB... perhaps matched up against a safety or LB he can make a play
5. one of the guys left over from 3.
Louis Murphy is too good to be sitting at number 4 still, I don't get it. He comes in and makes 1-2 good plays every game now, late in the game when they're going to 4+ wide sets. He was doing well earlier in the season when they had injuries there, apparently the coaching staff didn't notice?
This should be a much better team next year, but the Patriots will probably be pretty happy with the 1st round pick they're going to get. How much better? Dunno, but 8-8 should be much more realistic if they show some improvement. What sucks is that'll probably be a pretty good OT/DT the Raiders really could have used... in the 2011 draft.
GREAT WIN!!!!! amazing the difference when you at least have a qb that puts the effort!!
Who knows but if he beats the Donkey's it's worth it!!How much guaranteed did he make? Was it $30 mil??
Problem with winning, which Cleveland is also going through, is it creates the illusion that not much more needs to be done to keep the team winning.

Also it means sliding down the draft boards a bit.

That is right! He wins there!!One victory a year ain't worth $30 mil, in anyones book, is it, or are you guys THAT desperate?
One of the Denver commentators said on a post-game last night that the Broncos should hire JaMarcus, cuz he always wins in Denver. Of course nowhere else, but he does win here.![]()
