I'll try. Just seems weird to me

I think they'll focus on the run game. The O line is much better at run blocking

I don't think realistically you can get rid of your entire interior a week before the opener.

What I am asking is what the motivation is of a "fan" that constantly posts negatives. Not at all. Justified critique is one thing. Constant negativity just to be negative is different. Like those saying we will not win a game this year. That's ridiculous. Or that Allen is already a bust. That's ridiculous. You like a few others don't want to address that and just deflect. What motivates someone claiming to be a fan to be so negative all the time?

Didn't see that. Glad to hear.

I am glad to see we have a GM and HC working in concert with a definitive plan and a definitive process. Will it work? We'll see. I do hope next year they draft all linemen on both sides of the ball

From some of the Raiders players' comments I wonder if that team implodes.

Not saying they have to get out. Just asking about their motivation. Ittakestime comes to mind.

A theory worth investigation..... You and I can remember some truly dark days.

Well stated One of my best times ever at the Rich

I am proud to say I was one of those people.

I don't. I just don't understand why, if all you can say about a team is negative, one feels motivated to do so.

Right there with you. I think it was the 68 season; I'd watch every game thinking there was no chance we'd win.

I was OK with Ducasse until the Bengals preseason game. You can't have a guy in the middle of the line get thrown around like a chew toy.

I think fans support their team and provide criticism when deserved. There are folks on this board who take every single thing this team does and spin it negatively. You know it. I know it. My question is why. I really am am interested in ananswer. What pleasure dosuch individuals get from that. More a question of psychology than about the team per se.

What can I say. I obviously disagree

No. Complaining about actual performances is one thing. I for example think Ducasse should go. Complaining about things that haven't even happened because you assume they'll be bad is different. Such as those already saying Allen will be a bust. That is being negative just to be negative. McCain enjoyed actual debate.

Ironic you say this at the same time the country celebrates John McCain

There is a difference between legitimate debate and critique and mindless drivel

Get over yourself. You are not Nostradamus.

The irony of your avatar name and your attitude about Beane and Allen is priceless

There is a difference between not trying to swing a deal at all vs. making what you feel is a fair offer

I agree. It's just bizarre.

I like that

Perhaps hate is too strong. Dislike? Would you rather have Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott? Or Harvey Johnson and John Rauch?
