Dear Chuck,
I know you watched all the football games this weekend.I hope you saw the same things I saw. I saw an upstart team go into the frozen tundra and run away with a win, I saw the Jets O-line just manhandle the Colts. The most disturbing thing I saw however, was two teams with the game seemingly in hand and then a 4th qtr collapse by both. This was caused by soft zones and prevent type play. You wouldn't let that happen to us would you ? 60 minutes of Raiders football does not include backing off the defense in the 4 qtr. Thanks RR

Dear Bob: Like coaches around the league that had teams in the playoffs, i'm sure you watched a lot of football this weekend. In my humble opinion, the Raiders ST is OUR ACHILLES heel!! I hope great things are in the works to change that fact even at this late date. This is it! They all must play heads up football and take a lesson from the Browns and ESP. the SF 49ers, What a Fing mess that was.
