  1. this is where coaching is key.

     

    If you dont treat this right, the players may lose all their "gusto" due to this loss.

     

    But, play your cards right, and use it as a motivational tool, and who knows.

    Agreed. Fortunately for us, Norv Turner :doh: is coaching the Raiders.

    I expect to win on Sunday.

  2. I love the differences of opinion on this board and the discussion this brings about, but g'damn if I'm not getting annoyed with these posts that say, "blah blah blah and if you don't think so YOU DON'T KNOW FOOTBALL!"

     

    As if there is one way of doing anything and if you think differently, you're just a f'in moron.  WTF, can't you just state you g'damn opinion without calling others f'in names?  Or are the people who say this crap that insecure about their opinions that you have to try to head off any debate on the issue?  Or have they just gotten so used to the way things are done over on the politics board?

    Agreed... unfortunately, more often than not,

    it's the apologists who use this card. :angry:

  3. I know there are 11 guys on the unit, but when they cut their two starting DE's(Brackens & Douglas) in pre-season and replace them with two no names, you should be able to exploit them on the edge.

    Agreed. Paul Spicer looked damn good, how surprising. :angry:

     

    But I was very impressed with their D as a whole.

    If Jax gets their O together, they can be a playoff team.

  4. Tell us Mike how Drew could have possibly played any better yesterday......

    He was within the team concept. He was decisive in the pocket. He was accurate and strong with his throws. He didn't turn the ball over. etc. etc.

    Agree. Unlike last year, DB made no bone-head mistakes that would've cost the game.

     

    I'm hearing different takes on the potential Shelton TD... I didn't see it on the replay, but if there was any doubt, I'm definitely glad he took the sack instead of trying to force one in.

     

    Bottom line, just a tough loss, time to move on.

    Raiders can definitely be beaten, I expect a win!

  5. dude we've been through an AWFUL lot of very close losses in the past couple years...given up several 4th qtr leads...at some point you have to question the testicular fortitude of the core players on the team.

     

    what do you attribute all the close losses to?

    I really thought Milloy would make a big difference...

    Granted, he didn't play (can't blame him for today),

    but he's the only player on the team that I can really say

    is a true, bonafide 100% winner.

    Fletcher & Adams both won rings, but they were complementary players

    (almost along for the ride)...

    Bledsoe was a winner a long, long, long time ago.

    TKO knows nothing but losing.

    Vincent knows all about coming up short in NFC Championship games.

    Chris V came from the Bears, say no more.

    And as for our home-grown talent, the Super Bowl years are long gone.

     

    Badol hit the nail on the head...hopefully some of these guys step up QUICK!

  6. My observation is that this team has no heart.  The stars of the team are losers who come up small when it matters.  I repeat what I said a month ago, the team is not fun to watch and I would be happy if they could just blow it up and start from scratch because there isn't a player on the team who I would be upset to see leave.  Fans get attached to players who come up big when it matters, and guys like Moulds, Spikes, Clements and Henry repeatedly come up small in the clutch.  Everyone keeps trying to project victories upon this team based on talent and matchups, etc., but the reality is that they are losers who don't know how to win.  What's worse, they are established veteran losers, not young kids.    Gonna' be another long year of bewildered fans wondering how a fairly talented team can be so bad.

    Agree 100%, post of the day. :blink:
