lets put it this way i'll speculate and say the running game will be about the same and the passing game will still suck cuz lance doesnt have a freaking clue. and the defense will actually play better until week 3 then teams will distroy us by running the ball at sands and burgess.

hows that for speculation and the good news is shane will be the only raider to make the probowl again.

... or...

Optimism doesn't kill people. Ugly people do.

Wait...

Oh, well, whatever.

Super Bowl or Bust indeed!!

we all understood it but it doesnt make much sense to argue that h2o is named water....people make their choices, postive or negative and you cant have a view without a person.

Most of the comments on the speculation are just saying how we can't speculate and provide nothing to the conversation. Raiderrealists.net, would not be a very enjoyable message board for fans to go to, if people want to be positive on Raiderfans.net let them.

We all know whats wrong with this team. This is the time for excitement, and it has been a limited time in the past, trying to calm everyone down wont cause them to be any more happy with failure, if and when the time comes for that.

This site isn't here to sell the team to new fans, or set expectations at a reasonable level for the coming season to limit disappointment, it is here for fans to discuss their team. If realism is what you want, at least make counter points rather than just saying that there is no way to know.

I don't see the point in speculating either, but bumping threads with no further information on the topic accomplishes nothing.

Optimistic people are ugly. Do kill.

Ummm... I'm not sure how to respond to that. I guess I won't.

Oops I just did. Never mind.

great post...and barring injuries we really can't help but be better than last year.

**Favre=Picks** · #39 (**permalink**) 05-10-2008, 05:09 AM

Good post by the way, all valid points. If nothing else, I hope that the additions and subtractions will make for a more entertaining brand of football to watch.

Watching a boring team lose like we have for the past couple of years, is worse than watching an exciting one lose. One or two flashes of excitement a year is not enough. I just hope we put fear in other teams again.

your right. except that there isnt a need for excitement when you know theyre gonna break your heart with horrible play.

you make a good point(s) and to counter your last sentence, isnt this post you posted bumping threads yet it still accomplishes something if we are having a good time doing it.

Lemme ask, what if those key players remain healthy? How does the outlook on the season change?

i say run the ball 600 times 250 for mcfadden 200 for fargas 150 for bush control the clock

dline lost Brayton, Clemons, Sapp replaced by Kelly shifiting inside, Joseph and Edwards, this is by the way an upgrade as the former three coulodnt play the run worth a ****
