The Raiders

[RiverKitty]

Although I am a very *devoted* Broncos fan, I have to admit, the Raiders Whoooped our (The Broncos) butts pretty good yesterday! The Raiders are obviously the better team. I must (being held at gunpoint after making a *humiliating* bet) apologize for dogging them so bad.
Sincerely,
~RK :rolleyes:

[OGHillside]

If the Raiders get Deion then every other team will be tossing salads

[24RODjr]

Kitty,
Could you please explain to the group why the Raiders are the best team? :D :D :D

Would anyone care to dog the Raiders out? I'm sure Kitty will defend their honor.

Kitty,
Could you please explain to the group why the Raiders are the best team? :D :D :D Hmmmm...the Raiders are a better team this year since they aquired Bill Romonowski; a prior Denver Bronco player! Without his prior training while playing with the Denver Broncos, the Raiders may have *never* made it to the playoffs this year! ;o)
Also, if Griese would realize that he's playing for the Denver Broncos and not the Raiders & quit throwing the ball to the Raiders!!! Sheesh! :rolleyes: Get a clue Griese!!! Where's Elway when ya need him???

[HCS]

Yes, Romo is also an x 49er like alot of raiders. That's why their good. They don't have a salary cap problem so their snagging up all the good vets. If they happen to get Deon next year they will even be a bigger force to contend with.
And for Griese he's probably going to be done as the Broncos starting quarter back unless he pulls out a miracle. :p

Wrong..........they are looking a deion this year. Next year, let the dismantling begin. As I understand it, they are going to be in salary cap hell. Remember the 49ers a few years ago, and now the Ravens. That is what you Raiders fans have to look forward too. Good Luck, you're going to need it! :p

Kitty tough year for us Bronco fans, I thought Portis would be a factor in the game yesterday, but oh well. yuk Greise ? Not sure what to say about him eek!
If they slip into the playoffs, I will stay behind the Broncos. If not always next year. cry

Hope the Raiders win this week...Home field through the Playoffs would be nice...Then another home field game in San Diego to end it.

[BigBoyToys]

And....wait and see what the Raiders do next week against KC when they add another cornerback....Probably one of the best ever, Deion Sanders! :D
Raiders pass defense has sucked pretty much all year because of all the injuries, but they've held on and won a few. Add Deion and get Woodson healthy again (he's sitting out vs. KC) and the Raiders are SUPERBOWL CHAMPS! :D

[JetBoatRich]

Deion? Must be nice to come and play a few games, then retire at the end of theseason again. While the rest of the team played hard all week.

[mbrown2]

Well the Skins put Deion on waivers to clear a hurdle for the Raiders/Deion pairing....No disrespect to Deion, but you got guys that have been busting their asses for 15 weeks and this guy gets a whim(sp?) to play again, and now the attention is all surrounding Deion..(that does not do good things for team morale) and Trent Lott could have used Deion to step up a couple of weeks ago to take the spotlight off of his ass j/k.
I cannot see one player in his role making that big of change specifically one who has not played in while...I hope I eat my words and the guy plays great, but they need to put this side-show shit aside, and just continue playing hardnose football...Too much attention to one player, who has not stepped on the field with the team at week 16 does not do good things to the team synergy at this point in the season.

[JetBoatRich]

You said it mbrown2
I hope he gets burned by some offensive player!

As for Griese, maybe they'll trade Griese for Romo, eh??? ;o) I WANT ROMO BACK!!!
Win or Loose, The Bronco's Rock!!! :D

[beached1]

I don't think Deion will be a big factor. Just a little help...Hopefully. He's been out for two years so he may not even be in shape. Not to mention that two years is a long time to be away from something like football. You can't just step back into a corner position and expect to be at the level to keep up with a Randy Moss or a Terrel Owens. The fact of the matter is, the Raiders have no one capable of covering a wide out effectively right now. If Buchanon and C Woodson were healthy, the Broncos wouldn't have had a chance yesterday.
The Siver and Black defense is full of battle worn vetrans. They won't take shit from Deion. They just want to win. I'm sure if Deion takes all the interviews after the game, it would be just fine for guys like Perella, Sam Adams, Romo and Armstrong.

[beached1]

In an interview on Fox Sports net. Romo said that after the Broncos asked him to step aside and let a rookie take his spot he said he just simply picked up the phone and called Al Davis. He said that he always felt like he should have been a Raider all along. I couldn't agree more.

[beached1]

Don't get too upset with us Raidah fans Kitty. We need to gloat. The Broncos have had our number for years. That is why I hate them. Hate, hate, hate them. The Broncos are the root of all evil IMO.
I did root for them in their last two Superbowls though. I thought Elway paid his dues and deserved it.

[JetBoatRich]

Thanks Beached1,
Got to agree with you about Elway, to bad Marino not got the chance at the end.

[24RODjr]

Kitty...
Don't get mad at the RODjr. The reason I hate is because of what Beached said...the horsies have had our number the last few years. The record is 4-12 over the last 8 years...
Please don't get mad at me...just allow me my moment...

[24RODjr]

Now that's a bet I'll take :D
Are we friends again? :rolleyes:

[BigBoyToys]

Yes, the Raiders have been paying their dues all season and getting through adversity to make it to where they are now. But, who cares if a retired CB comes back during the last game of the year to help the team make a Superbowl run! I just want to WIN this year! And if Deion helps, that's great. BTW, Deion plays basketball DAILY and stays in shape (basketball is more physically demanding on the body).

[BigBoyToys]

Oh yeah, and for those that don't want Deion in there to help, look at it this way. Buchanon won't be back this year, Woodson probably will, and next year....Alot of the current Raiders will be GONE because of the new Salary cap restrictions that go in place next season, of which the Raiders will be over by $45 MILLION!!!
We need it THIS year...no matter how we get it.
Just my .02

[Elsinore Cop]

I paid $180 to sit in the front row and watch the Raiders slap around the Chargers and it was worth every penny. But the SB prices are too steep. For that price I can buy a wide screen plasma TV and watch in style. Deion or no Deion, this is the Raiders year.

No worries. I hate the Broncos, not their fans. Excellent point

Have to admit there is a lot of Raider fans that ruin for the rest. They beat a guy in the crowd because he is wearing the other teams jersey?
I love the way me and my friends go back and forth at each other. My neighbor across the street huge Raider fan. This make the game even better when they play. :D
We are not the players still have to go to work on Monday.

It's hard to explain but the Chargers blocked the deal for Sanders to play for the Raiders.
Not a big deal to me. I don't think he would have made that much of a difference. You can't expect to be up to speed with wide outs after being off for two years.

[sandblasted]

Let's just hope that if the Raiders see Miami in the playoffs their offense actually shows up for all 4 quarters...I think they played just about their absolute worst 1/2 against miami 2 weeks ago and still had a chance to pull it out...They need to stay focused from here on out...anything can happen in the playoffs!
Go raiders!

I'm going for a long shot. GO 49ERS!!

The Chargers claimed Deion off waivers. IMO Terrance Shaw will be your weak link, and that is why they were going after Deion. Shaw sucked when he played for both the Chargers and Patriots.
