Why is everyone so excited about our running game? Yes, we lead the league (not anymore thanks SD) But look at the teams we beat! Jordan is no LT or LJ. We pumped ourselves up for a big let down. I bragged all week to my coworkers about how good the Raiders running game is. Now I am going to look like a frikin idiot when I show up at work, Speaking of Idiots I go to the game yesterday and see Raider fans dressed like its Halloween. this needs to stop it makes all Raider fans look like morons. Charger fans were laughing and throwing Halloween candy at us. Then to top it off the Raiders get their ass handed to them. Real football fans don't dress up like jackasses!

Well, if you know that Jordan is no LT or LJ, then why were you bragging about the run game? And then starting threads COMPLAINING about how it made you look?

If are running game has 2 bad games then I will start to worry. But our line played like crap yesterday, all the other weeks they were great. Thats what happened to the running. I think the O-Line will be a lot better next week against KC, then running game should be there.

I blame the o-line and Robert Gallery, but Jordan didn't seem to be running very hard either. I still don't like the idea that Kiffin played him yesterday

Just checking, but isn't Gallery part of the O-line?

yes but I call him out specifically because he played awful(never blocked and multiple penalties) and was the biggest flaw on our offense

About the running game, did you watch this team last year? After that pathetic season, how could this season not be encouraging to this point.

...I bragged all week to my coworkers about how good the Raiders running game is. Now I am going to look like a frikin idiot when I show up at work,
Not really concerned about how your co-workers view you...

Speaking of Idiots I go to the game yesterday and see Raider fans dressed like its Halloween. this needs to stop it makes all Raider fans look like morons. Charger fans were laughing and throwing Halloween candy at us. Then to top it off the Raiders get their ass handed to them. Real football fans don't dress up like jackasses![/QUOTE]
Gotta admit, the halloween get up has been one of the more embarrassing aspects over the years of this ridiculous Raider 'Nation' nonsense...

I feel you but don’t let it get you down, listen...if you feel like and idiot is only because your putting your self in that situation. We are a rebuilding team but some of us just wish for it so much and to much, That we hold our expectations high.

That’s fine we are all different human beings, but if I may suggest to you, Don't let it control you, as fans we have very very little power of what goes on in the field, will be back is just going to take us some time that's all.

Don’t let a bunch of jerks get you rattle, and btw football fans of all teams dress up, we just do it better than everyone else, and they are just hating.

Hope for the best, expect the worst.

The Raider OL is not a physical line. They are a "block and chop" OL. When faced with a big physical line they get dominated.

Well you did ask, If that’s not what you want then just say your here to rant.

And I wont bother answering, But your asking why?. Well that’s fine but there is no need to be rude Next time try a threat title
"Am here to rant, anyone want to Rant with me?”

And BELIVE ME! I won’t pay a lick of care for it.

Name calling, newb? Wow. How bout you educate yourself before bragging about anything? And people wonder why people bag on Raider fans. Run up yards against four piss poor run D's and all of sudden you got clowns like this running around telling the world that we're world beaters and then complaining when they feel like an idiot.
